SOPHY® Hyde Park Introduces Elegant Small Ceremonies for the Big Day
SOPHY® Hotel, the stylish 98-room boutique gem in the historic Hyde Park neighborhood, is now saying I Do to couples looking for a bespoke wedding venue with character and a personal touch. The scale of the hotel and design aesthetic are perfect compliments for elegant, small events on the big day. Named one of “The Best New Hotels in the World” by the editors of Travel + Leisure, SOPHY is located in the vibrant heart of Hyde Park, one of Chicago’s most prized neighborhoods, known for its dynamic, innovative and culturally diverse community.
SOPHY offers everything today’s couples require to make their most memorable moment a treasured, picture-perfect day. The hip neighborhood vibe and creative event spaces make weddings at SOPHY feel welcoming and personal. Festive reception fare comes from the hotel’s popular Mesler Chicago restaurant, overseen by Executive Chef Alejandro “Eddie” Arreola, the former Chef de Cuisine at Four Seasons Hotel Chicago and The Ritz-Carlton, Chicago.
SOPHY features an array of inviting and exquisitely designed spaces for all of the pre-wedding events and for the special day. The Opus Suite and Private Dining Room are ideal for rehearsal dinners, brunches, guest hospitality, or for the wedding party’s beauty suite to prepare for the wedding. Intimate cocktail hours and welcome receptions can be planned under the string lights in the outdoor Sanctuary, Mesler Chicago’s main Dining Room, or in the restaurant’s Bar & Lounge featuring a 15-foot-long fireplace. Elegant seated dinners take place in the Mesler Chicago main dining room or in the Private Dining Room, with more creative options for post- dinner receptions.
The hotel has launched a tiered menu of special wedding packages for Chicago couples, designed to suit all preferences and budgets. Packages start at a reasonable rate of $100 per person for the “Just Enough” wedding which includes an elegant, two-hour reception and increase accordingly, based on the added elements, such as personalized cocktails, seated dinners and late-night festivities included in the “VIP Access” wedding.
