Katherine Legge Lodge

Katherine Legge Memorial Park's Lodge is surrounded by 52 acres of beautifully landscaped parks. It's a beautiful relic from a bygone period. The Lodge, built in 1927 and designed by R. Harold Zook, one of Chicago's most known domestic architects, emanates grace and elegance. It can accommodate a wide range of special events and occasions, from weddings and social celebrations to corporate meetings and retreats, and is as versatile as it is engaging. The first floor of the English-style structure is full of charm, with a large living room with a fireplace, piano, dining room, kitchen, alcove, and access to the lovely patios and grounds, which can be utilized for outdoor events. ​ The Lodge is an ideal location for weddings and receptions. A lovely dining room, living room, and alcove for seated meals and cocktail gatherings can be found on the first level. A ballroom on the second level is excellent for indoor wedding ceremonies and dancing. Outdoor weddings, receptions, cocktail hours, and photographs are all enhanced by the wedding arbor, patios, and gardens. The Lodge works with a variety of pre-approved special event partners, such as caterers, alcoholic beverage distributors, and a full-service tent rental company, to help you plan your big day. Showers, rehearsal dinners, birthday parties, anniversary parties, memorial services, cotillions, and other special events are all possible at the Lodge. An Event Manager, Assistant Manager, and Event Host staff manage the Lodge's events. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. We can’t wait to work with you on your next event!
