National Hellenic Museum Overview

The National Hellenic Museum is America’s only national institution that interprets the American experience through the history of Greek immigrants and the contributions of Greek Americans. Located in the heart of Chicago’s Greektown on the West Loop, this sleek and modern space is a truly special place to host your wedding celebration.

Guests will enjoy the sunset amongst the terrace’s three gardens, featuring Illinois prairie grasses and other native plants. After your ceremony, guests can peruse the Museum’s many galleries, making your wedding celebration a unique experience. Later, the spacious and contemporary John P. Calamos, Sr. Great Hall sets the stage for your memorable reception. Your wedding vision comes to life in full color, with fantastic lighting and decor options at your fingertips. Natural light floods the space from the floor-to-ceiling windows, creating romantic ambience for dinner and dancing. Your Chicago wedding will be unforgettable at the National Hellenic Museum!
