Wedding venue in Evanston, Illinois

About PALMHOUSE

PALMHOUSE is an event venue in Evanston with nearly 6,500 square feet of guest space across two rooms. Couples can hold both ceremony and reception there, with the rooms arranged to support a ceremony followed by dinner; an off-site ceremony can leave the full venue available for cocktail hour, dinner and dancing. For events with both ceremony and reception, the venue recommends up to 250 guests to support guest flow and room turnover. Reception-only configurations vary by layout, including seated dinner for up to 400 without a dance floor or programming, and up to 300 with a dance floor; cocktail-style events can accommodate up to 750. The rental includes two private suites or green rooms, including one with an ADA-accessible three-piece washroom, lounge areas, two bars, high-speed Wi-Fi, dining tables, modern furnishings and ambient lighting. The venue has seven bathrooms, three ADA-accessible, and dedicated staff on site during events. Green Spoon Kitchen is the in-house caterer; outside catering is also welcomed for cultural, religious or specific cuisine needs, and food trucks can be hosted on the patio. PALMHOUSE is the sole beverage provider, with bar packages or consumption-based service available. Full-venue rental is for 12 hours, from noon to midnight, including setup; additional hours and partial or hourly rentals may be available. Setup must occur during contracted rental hours. Decor is permitted except glitter or confetti, and candles must be self-contained without open flames. Vendors are responsible for the venue’s closing breakdown list.
