Here is the Garden as it looked in September.
There is a little gem of a wedding ceremony venue tucked away on the Northwestern University campus in north Evanston. If you’ve never heard of the Shakespeare Garden, you are in very good company.
The Garden can accommodate a small group for a wedding ceremony in a beautiful, well-maintained garden setting. The Evanston Garden Club, which maintains the Garden, does not permit the use of chairs (with some exceptions), so this venue is not for everyone.
But it is as idyllic a setting as you could want. It is secluded from its surroundings by a double hedge of hawthorn bushes, and is graced with a sundial and a fountain. It is even on the National Register of Historic Places.
I have coordinated a wedding in the Garden, and I was very pleased with my experiences there. The biggest drawback is the fact that it is an unknown location and vendors (delivery drivers, bus drivers, etc.) may have trouble finding it. If you can live with that and with its other restrictions, I recommend this location highly.
