If you’re interested in having your wedding or other occasion at a hotel but you are looking for something a little bit different, you might consider looking at the Orrington Hotel in Evanston.
The Orrington is both a classic, old-fashioned hotel and a recently updated modern event venue. The building has been in downtown Evanston for decades, but recent renovations have brought it up to date. There is a ballroom unlike any other hotel ballroom I’ve seen. While the decor is pretty standard, there is a huge, sweeping staircase that leads down into the space. It has many dramatic possibilities, including use as the aisle or backdrop for a wedding.
The hotel also has all the standard hotel amenities you would expect: catering, meeting rooms, guest rooms, etc. The staff seems friendly and accommodating. It is also in a great location with any number of restaurants, parks, and shops nearby, if your guests are staying for a long weekend.
If you’re looking for a party venue, take a look at this undiscovered gem.
