“Working with Paris312 for our corporate event was an incredible experience from start to finish. Communication was top notch — Nicole was highly responsive, organized, and wonderful to work with throughout the planning process. We were presented with many beautiful floral options and ultimately combined elements from two different looks to create something that fit our vision perfectly.
We also took advantage of their à la carte entry signage add-on, along with setup and teardown services — all completely seamless.
Then came the event itself — and wow. The florals absolutely blew us away in person. They were a beautifully subtle and elevated addition to an already great atmosphere, serving as the perfect finishing touch for our event space.
Would hire Paris312 again in a heartbeat. Beautiful work, exceptional service, and a truly stress-free experience.”
“The Chopping Block hosted another amazing demo dinner last night. Chef Luciano served his favorite Peruvian dishes that were all very delicious. The ceviche was as tasty as my favorite from my recent trip to Peru and the other two courses were equally wonderful. Already thinking about what my next culinary adventure will be here.”
“Incredibly pleased with having chosen Ovation as our wedding venue! Spencer and the whole team were professional and responsive and made the planning process easy. The space is set up for smooth transitions between ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner. Fun bonuses that made the night extra special include the photo booth, Rolls Royce, and graphic design services. We also appreciated that a Style Matters DJ is included in the venue rental price and DJ John did a great job. Many of our vendors had already worked at Ovation and all were excited when we said it was our venue. Ovation had everything we wanted and more!”
“We did the G.R.A.N.I.E escape room and was a lot of fun, worked pretty well with two people. Our agent Aqua was so helpful and kind! Excited to try the other rooms”
“We fell in love with Firehouse upon our first visit. The building has great bones with timeless wooden elements that encourage minimal decor. The courtyard, accented with flowers and ivy-covered walls, was the perfect setting for our cocktail hour. The upstairs space is impeccably appointed and offers a salon and two suites - we found these extra rooms to be great for taking a beat. Our guests raved about the beautiful venue. We would be remiss to not shout out Sarah and Teddy, the amazing event coordinators. From the initial planning stage through to our reception, they were highly communicative, organized, and resourceful. We dropped off our decor a couple days before the event and the Firehouse team took care of the rest. During our event, staff worked efficiently in the background to ensure everything went smoothly and even packed up our car at the end of the night! Truly a seamless experience. We can't recommend Firehouse highly enough!”
“My first time at Him & Her Vintage was for my book club meet up. It is such a beautiful space. You walk in and you feel at home.
When it came time to plan my Sister-in-Law's baby sprinkle, I knew I wanted to have it here. Thankfully, the day I had in mind was available. As soon as the guests arrived, they complimented the space and decor. I didn't have to do much besides set up food and games.
Myriam was so easy to communicate with. She answered any questions I had. I can't wait to host another event here.”
“We had an incredible experience with Walden from start to finish. Krystle, Ally, Nick, and the rest of their team were amazing throughout the entire planning process, and it's clear they have thoughtful systems in place to make everything as smooth and stress-free as possible. From their excellent vendor recommendations to the detailed questions they asked to ensure our day looked and felt exactly as we envisioned, every step was handled with care and professionalism. We would absolutely recommend Walden to anyone looking for a beautiful space and a team that genuinely cares about making your day perfect.”
“Amazing studio with amazing instructors! This is my second session of beginners ballet and I absolutely love it. The instructor, Megan, is encouraging as well attentive to every student. Not to mention, she's extremely talented and knowledgeable in her craft. Whether you are a beginner looking to learn from scratch, or a seasoned vet looking for someone to help you grow further, I cannot recommend Dovetail Studios enough!”
“My granddaughter and I got to share a delightful experience, painting and interacting with the macaw who visited the studio. We also got to observe and learn about other birds from the naturalist who adopted them all. Everything was so well planned and ran smoothly. Lynn, the painting instructor, was very patient and encouraging. The studio was bright, colorful, and comfortable. The owner was present and often involved. Everyone went out of their way to make it a great experience.”

“I booked my 40th birthday party at the Party Spot. I have absolutely zero regrets except I can’t rewind time. Nadia was so hands on and left me worry free. Her customer service was impeccable and absolutely amazing. Her communication was very professional and she gave her all. Nick was also very helpful and a great bartender. I can’t wait to book another event with her! She delivers!! Everyone is saying my party was the party of the century!! Thank you Nadia and Nick ?”
“I had never been to the Chopin Theatre before. We saw the one man play, "Royko: The Toughest Man in Chicago." The theatre was fantastic. There literally wasn't a bad seat in the house. The people working there were friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Cozy and intimate apty describe the Chopin. Parking can be challenging, but there is plenty of street parking around the theatre. Just download the ParkChicago app and feed the meter right from the lobby. It was a great experience and I would definitely visit again.”
“We are so grateful to have had our wedding at the Nineteenth Century Charitable Association (NCCA)! Woody and his team were wonderful to work with - from first touring the venue to clean-up the morning after. Set in the beautiful neighborhood of Oak Park, the NCCA is surrounded by community parks and historic homes by Frank Loyd Wright. We also had easy access to the local hotel to host our guests overnight. This wedding venue is reasonably priced with true historic charm. The food and beverages were excellent. We held our ceremony/cocktail hour on the first floor and reception on the second floor, comfortably accommodating our guest count of 175 people. Woody is responsive and flexible. He is willing to support creative endeavors to make your wedding feel original. We feel so fortunate to have found the NCCA to host our wedding - we would absolutely recommend it to you!”
“We had our wedding at the Joinery at the end of June this year, and we couldn’t be happier with how things went! Shay, the venue manager, is so easy to work with and was super responsive to all of our questions both before and after we booked the venue! She also had so many great vendor recommendations for us, which was helpful as it can be overwhelming to figure out where to start when looking for the various vendors you’ll need for a wedding. The space itself was perfect for our group - we were around 95 total, and we held the ceremony, the cocktail hour, and the reception onsite. There are so many separate spaces that you can use in so many different ways, and the bones of the venue are really beautiful as well, particularly the stunning patio! They’re also always working to tweak and improve the venue. It’s such a warm, beautiful place to get married and celebrate with all your loved ones. The inclusion of the apartment above the venue in the venue fee was really nice, and we also rented the Mill House next door which was sooo convenient for planning and executing the wedding. We are so glad we chose The Joinery for our wedding - we can’t recommend them highly enough!”
“Beautiful venue with a great decor package. The owners really help bring our vision to reality, they answered alot of questions and helpful in matching decor to our color palette. We loved the exposed bricks, center pieces, and outdoor area. Perfect option for smaller events.”
“The National Puerto Rican Museum in Chicago is a hidden gem in Humboldt Park. The only self-standing nationally accredited museum in the U.S. dedicated exclusively to Puerto Rican arts. Featuring vibrant diasporic art, rotating mixed-media exhibits, and a beautiful outdoor garden that is perfect for a quick, culturally rich afternoon. I'm fascinated with it every time I visit. New exhibits are routinely introduced, and the museum is home to yearly festivals that are always a great experience. On top of everything it offers, the museum remains free to enter. I highly recommend making the day of it.”
“We hosted our wedding at the Fairlie at the end of May this year. Alison was absolutely incredible in her responsiveness, consideration, and eagerness to help in preparation of our wedding. The walk through was so smooth, and the day of the wedding was absolutely impeccable. Even with the new remodels in the space, everything was absolutely STUNNING. Would absolutely go back + do it all over again at the Fairlie!”
“An AMAZING venue! The space is light, airy, and cozy while offering so much potential for customization. With many services being BYO, each event holds uniqueness and intimacy. The addition of provided DJ services, a photo booth, and design services, among others eased stress. The patio area is such a nice space for a little escape and offers a great area for kids to play. The staff was responsive and timely. We are grateful for their assistance in making our big day a dream come true! 🤍”

“We had the best time here. Our bartender Bruno and Aliya, our coordinator, were awesome and made it so easy to host with their help. Our guests said the venue was so pretty and elegant. I love how the venue coordinated their linens and table decor to our color theme. Will definitely book our next event here again!”
“Xoco House Gallery is absolutely amazing! The venue is beautiful, spacious, and elegant while still feeling casual and comfortable. I love that you can bring your own caterer, which makes it perfect for any type of celebration. Whether it’s a 50th birthday, a quinceañera, or mainly a wedding, this place is ideal. The atmosphere is welcoming, classy, and versatile for all kinds of events. I highly recommend Xoco House Gallery you won’t be disappointed!”
“I’ve never seen a vintage spot with as big of a selection as this place. We found a phenomenal MCM cabinet that we now use as a bar in our dining area - very fairly priced and the staff was helpful with loading it into our truck. So many great items!”
“Well rounded art gallery with some extras. Friendly gallerists, which isn't always the case. Good programming and openness to try things - we visited for their collaboration with Vertical Gallery.”
“What a hidden gem in Chicago. I had the opportunity to photograph a wedding here and I loved the exposed brick and timber loft. A modern yet industrial space that can fit a variety of vibes (as you choose the decor!)
The loft feels spacious as everyone transitioned from room to room between the ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner. The high ceiling just gives your guests and your photos space to breath.
As a photographer: the space allowed me to move around and not feel cramped while taking photos.
Location is great. The couple got ready at a downtown hotel along the river and we easily made it to Venue West. Along the way I chose a couple of photogenic spots for their portraits.”
“I was there for a friend's birthday celebration. It was an exquisite event. The space spoke of her impeccable taste, and the food on the menu was scrumptious. Check out the pics and hopefully the video.

“A great place for a picnic! There are portapotties, lots of parking, and plenty of picnic tables. There’s some nice trails close by to hike. Just be aware that you must leave by sunset!! My friends and I were slapped with some hefty tickets because we didn’t know this rule!”

“As a wedding photographer I was in love with this venue. It has a lot of space. A lot of natural light. Gorgeous ceremony area outside. Beautiful bricks wall for pictures. Was so satisfied.”
“I have Catered about 10 or more events here, including our old Mayor (Lori Lightfoot) Beautiful event space 10 out of 10 I recommend. The Owner is very professional, kind, and family oriented.”
“Katherine Legge Memorial Lodge is a very nice place. The Harold Zook house and studio next to it have great architectural significance. You can't go in the house, but the outside is very impressive.”
“We had a small gathering here at the gallery for an event unrelated to the usual art happenings in the gallery. This is space that serves for community and creativity. The exhibitions are vibrant. The gallery staff and art itself engage the patrons at every event.”
“I setup private events at many venues across the country but Rockwell is one of the best in Chicago. Venue speaks for itself but the staff was amazing. They made sure they tried to help with anything we needed. Adrianna, Mallory and Paco were fantastic. I would recommend Rockwell for any event you have.”

“I had my 18th birthday party here and I couldn't have planned to celebrate my birthday anywhere else. Very friendly and helpful staff, it's very organized, and good food.”
