There are many excellent museums that you can rent as a venue for your wedding and reception. Many of them with upscaled costs.
The National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts and Culture.
From their website:
“Host your next event at our beautiful facilities, the iconic Humboldt Park Receptory Building and Stables.
The visually dramatic building, built in the Queen Anne architectural style with Central European features, is Humboldt Park’s oldest-surviving structure dating back to the late 1890s.
The building is noteworthy for its dramatic brick arches, half-timbering turrets, and a multitude of tiled roofs and dormers.
In addition to the building’s architectural prowess, our museum artwork will serve as the backdrop to your event.”
Perfect for weddings!
Vacation Home
Next, Airbnb and VRBO accommodations have been abused by party goers lately. Although these would be a bargain, I would skip this approach and go for an intimate experience with attached accommodations. Something like:
Historic Florsheim Mansion

“Step through the Prairie-style Fullerton gate and enter a hidden garden of unmatched beauty.
Only bird songs and the sound of a gentle waterfall break the restful silence.
Follow the stone walk encircling the lily pool and discover a pavilion, council ring, and diverse native plantings.
This is the vision of landscape architect Alfred Caldwell: a hidden garden for the people of Chicago designed to resemble a river meandering through a great Midwestern prairie.”
