The Clark Street Beach is located at Clark Street and Sheridan Road, just south of the Northwestern Campus. It is our biggest beach, which should allow ample room for a wedding. There is off street parking and limited handicap parking near the beach. Clark Street Beach is the only beach available.

What You’ll Miss
No large weddings, receiving lines cancelled, passed appetizers & buffets not allowed — and maybe dancing if it can be socially distanced.
What You’ll Have
You should probably consider temperature checks, covering faces, extra cleaning, and lots of distance.
Not exactly what you imagined.
Guest Lists
Phase four, weddings limited to of 50 people max or 50% of overall capacity, whichever number is smaller.
That doesn’t include event staff, such as photographers, DJs or servers.
Smaller Events
You might be rethinking your plans if you don’t want to reduce your wedding to the 50 person limit.
All of our summer ChicagoWeddingDJs clients have postponed until the ability to hold larger gatherings will happen.
We look forward to a day where we can celebrate together. Until then be safe, healthy and stay well.
