Colvin House
A 1909 landmark mansion in Edgewater, designed by Prairie School architect George Maher and restored by owner Angela Valavanis. One of only a handful of the stately mansions that once lined Sheridan Road, Colvin House sits directly across from Lake Michigan, with over 4,000 square feet of fenced outdoor space including a lighted courtyard and lush gardens, so there is no need for a tent. Your ceremony can process down an oak grand staircase beneath a crystal chandelier, with an original marble fireplace mantle as your altar. The first floor of the mansion is your primary event space, and the property also includes a 1920s-inspired basement speakeasy, an outdoor Coach House with a built-in bar, and access to the beach and park across the street for photos. The team prides itself on inclusivity and on keeping nearly everything you need onsite. Catering comes from a preferred list of full-service licensed caterers, and outside caterers can be onboarded for an additional fee.
