North Chicago has some great resources of its own to help you with the wedding planning process, but it is still conveniently located near major transportation services and big-city amenities, as it is just two miles south of Waukegan and 33 miles north of Chicago.

If you are considering casual wedding venues, make sure you check out Flanagan's Bar and Grill, an affordable venue that features three different private banquet halls and offers either buffet or full-service catering.

Another great resource in North Chicago, which can help you make quality wedding invitations if you are on a tight budget, is Steve Olson Printing & Design.

Finally, make sure you stop into Ivy Lane Design, where you can find all the essentials on your wedding checklist, from aisle runners and candle holders, to bridal garters, cake toppers, wedding favors, and place card holders.

North Chicago has several parks for you to enjoy during your free time, including Constitution Park, Foss Park, Boak Park, and Coles Park.

You can also relax at the North Chicago Public Library or take a day trip to nearby attractions such as Greenbelt County Forest Preserve, Fort Hill Heritage Museum, Haines House Museum, Six Flags Great America, and Illinois Beach State Park.
