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.
