GracePlace is a great place in downtown Chicago for your Meeting, Wedding, Holy Union, Civil Union or Celebration!
Grace Church operates GracePlace as an open and accessible community center for the neighborhood and metro Chicago. Many not-for-profit groups, recovery groups, and neighborhood groups use our meeting spaces each week. We also host many weddings, receptions and other celebrations every year. We do ask that all users of our building share in the expenses of heating, lighting, cooling and performing maintenance on this building. The main hall is 40’x40′ and can accommodate up to 100 people for a meeting or standing reception and 80 people for a sit down meal. The sanctuary can seat up to 125 people.
Meetings & Conferences
Whether you are hosting a small meeting, a large gathering or a multi-day conference, GracePlace can provide you with the space you need at a reasonable rate. To learn more about our meeting spaces and our donation schedule, please click here.

Grace’s Chapel provides a unique venue for your wedding or commitment ceremony that reflects our vibrant South Loop neighborhood, and our main floor is a convenient location for your reception.
