Because here at Riot Fest we just love love, we’ve decided to open up our Wedding Chapel sign-ups early. Dozens of beautiful couples will be able to walk out of Riot Fest 2025 legally married with the help of a legally ordained minister.
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 for our Beyond the Fest initiative.
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. See full details on that here.
- 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.
Please note: A ceremony slot does not get you admission into the festival. All couples and any attending guests must be Riot Fest ticket holders in order to enter the grounds.
*We have a limited number of time slots available. Reservation fees are non-refundable with proceeds going our Beyond the Fest initiative. 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.
Now that you’ve set your wedding date, get your Riot Fest tickets!
Early Bird Presale tickets are still on sale right now.
