The Caldwell Lily Pool in Chicago’s Lincoln Park is a unique outdoor location for an intimate wedding ceremony surrounded by nature. Designed by Alfred Caldwell in 1936, the Lily Pool and surrounding gardens includes a covered pavilion, serene paths, and native plantings.
After decades of erosion and damage, the Lily Pool was completely restored in 2002 to Caldwell’s original design by the Lincoln Park Conservancy which now co-manages the site with the Chicago Park District. The Conservancy is proud to offer this natural sanctuary as a venue for your intimate wedding or for wedding and engagement photographs.
