About this venue

Lofty. Posh. Perfect. Wildman BT is a special place for weddings. Unassuming on the outside, magnificent on the inside, your guests will be transfixed in the moments of your big day. The natural light streaming from double clerestory windows, the warmth of the century-old exposed brick, and the luxury in the details designed in the space provide an incredible surrounding for the day you both say, I do.

    Amazing venue and team!

    Wildman BT was our dream venue, and Michelle and Annie were a dream team to work with! We fell in love with the venue as soon as we walked in for our tour last year and immediately knew we wanted to get married there. Not only is the venue incredibly unique and beautiful, but we also loved that everything could happen in one place, from getting ready to our ceremony, reception, and even our rehearsal dinner. Michelle and Annie were wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. They made sure every detail was exactly as planned on our wedding day, and they were always responsive, organized, and collaborative along the way. Their attention to detail gave us so much confidence leading up to the wedding, and when the day arrived, we were able to relax and enjoy every moment. We loved celebrating our special day at Wildman BT and could not have asked for a better venue or team to work with!

    The perfect venue!

    We could not have had a better experience with Wildman BT! From our first tour to the floor planning meeting and final walkthrough, Michelle and Annie were so kind, communicative, and helpful. The space itself is beautiful, we loved mix of historical features and high ceilings with the warm design touches. Having all the amenities (tables, chairs, lounge furniture, bars, valet parking, security, getting ready space) included was incredibly helpful (no rentals required!) and helped with budgeting too. The space felt large enough for our guest size (185) while still feeling intimate. The day flowed seamlessly from ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner/dancing and having everything in one location made it convenient for our guests. Highly recommend this somewhat "hidden" gem to anyone looking for a unique, beautiful, and versatile space! Thank you, Michelle, Annie, and Wildman BT team!

    The best venue in Chicago!

    Wildman BT is a fantastic venue. Annie and Michelle are so thoughtful and kind, ensuring your wedding day runs seamlessly. The exposed brick and awesome lounge furniture match any aesthetic. I could not have picked a better venue or team.

    Best Wedding Venue!

    We had the most incredible experience hosting our wedding at Wildman BT! The space itself is absolutely stunning—beautifully designed, elegant, and the perfect backdrop for such a special day. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how gorgeous everything was! Michelle and Annie were amazing to work with from start to finish. They were organized, responsive, and so supportive throughout the planning process, making everything feel seamless and stress-free. They went above and beyond to make sure every detail was taken care of and that our day ran perfectly. We are so grateful to have celebrated our wedding here and couldn’t recommend this venue more highly. It was truly a perfect day thanks to the beautiful space and the wonderful team behind it!!

    A Perfect Venue!

    We absolutely cannot recommend WildmanBT enough! Michelle and Annie were a delight to work with. We fell in love with the place immediately after seeing it for the first time, and the team made sure all of our questions were answered and our requests were addressed. We were concerned that our 100-person wedding (ceremony reception) wouldn’t fill out the space, but Michelle and Annie assured us that the headcount was perfect and even helped us brainstorm floor plans. Our final walk through with them solidified our plans and helped us feel at ease in the week leading up to our wedding. We truly felt taken care of and in good hands. We’re happy to report that everything came out exactly how we wanted it to! Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful the venue is. We absolutely cannot imagine our wedding in a more perfect space!
