Because here at Riot Fest we just love love, dozens of beautiful couples will be able to walk out of Riot Fest 2024 legally married with the help of a legally ordained minister, now with parking!
For our music-loving pairs looking to make it official this September, the Wedding Chapel will be all decked out for your special day. A photographer will be stationed at the chapel to capture the ceremony.
There are multiple time slots for Saturday and Sunday, with a $25 reservation fee. All fees go directly to the Riot Fest Foundation.
*** Update July 23, 2024 – As of today all slots have been reserved, but we always have cancellations and can squeeze in additional couples. Stop by the wedding chapel Saturday or Sunday to find out more.

Please note: You will need a marriage license to tie the knot at Riot Fest! Couples must appear together at one of the Cook County Clerk’s six locations; full details on that here.
*We have a limited number of time slots available. Reservation fees are non-refundable with proceeds going the Riot Fest Foundation. All reservations will be managed via our booking platform. Cancellations are discouraged, but possible, so don’t give up all hope if you don’t get your preferred slot.
HOW IT WORKS
Before becoming a newlywed, you will need to get a marriage license at one of Cook County Clerk’s six locations. This is required so that our officiant and your witness can sign the wedding certificate, which you’ll have to send back to Cook County.
- Book your ceremony time slot for Saturday or Sunday between 12pm-4pm.
- Wait for an email confirmation from us via our booking platform about your date/time.
- Get a wedding certificate from Cook County to be signed at the festival by our officiant and your witness.
- Bring a witness to sign your certificate to the festival. It can be an old friend, a new friend, or someone you just met at the festival!
- Show up at your designated time at the wedding chapel, which will be marked on the Official Riot Fest Map that you can also access from the Riot Fest app.
- Get married, live happily ever after and all that shit.
