Illinois Wesleyan University Overview

Looking for the perfect wedding venue? Illinois Wesleyan University has everything you need! Exchange vows in our Evelyn Chapel, a beautiful non-denominational church. We’ll play your chosen song, either on the piano or organ, to make the moment unforgettable. Prefer an outdoor celebration? Our picturesque Quad offers a stunning setting where your guests can be seated in elegant white chairs. After the ceremony, take memorable photos as a newlywed couple amidst our beautiful grounds. When it's time to celebrate, we have the ideal space! The Young Main Lounge is a gorgeous ballroom with high ceilings and hardwood floors—perfect for dancing the night away. The walls are cheerful and the room can be decorated to match your personal style, with approval from us to ensure it’s exactly what you envision.

Each space can be customized to suit your event, whether you choose round or rectangular tables, different linens, or unique napkin folding.
