“This is one amazing place! The owner and all her heloer artists were incredible. Very helpful and knowledgeable, always available to help or just answer a question.
This was our first time here and at the end of the day we had all agreed that its our go to painting place!
We were here for the sloth party, such a wonderful experience”
“We recently celebrated our wedding at Ovation, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the start, the team at Ovation (Nicole & Cydnei) displayed a high level of professionalism, handling every detail with care and attention. They were responsive, organized, and truly dedicated to ensuring that our day went smoothly.
The venue itself is stunning, offering a beautiful blend of elegance and charm that set the perfect backdrop for our special day. One standout touch was the vintage car they provided for us to drive in and take photos with—it added such a unique, romantic element that our guests loved.
Speaking of guests, everyone had an incredible time! Devin created an atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable. We had so many people that said they couldn’t stop dancing.The Ovation team was on top of every detail, from the setup to the flow of the evening. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience and would highly recommend Ovation to anyone looking for a venue that’s professional, stylish, and truly dedicated to making your day memorable.”
“Absolutely perfect! I ordered large balloons for my baby shower and they were stunning! The whole process was easy and seamless from ordering to delivery. Highly recommend!”
“What a beautiful place for a special event! And their even coordinators were top level. Professional and they were one step ahead of everyone, almost like mind readers.”
“Visiting the National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts and Culture feels like coming home.
Even though it’s in Chicago, the moment you walk in, you feel the spirit of Puerto Rico. The culture, history, and energy are so beautiful and welcoming.
You’re not just visiting a museum. You’re walking into a space that feels like familia. Warm, proud, and full of love for our roots.
If you haven’t been yet, I highly recommend it. It’s truly a special place.

“The children liked the facility and had a great time. We adore how charmingly decorated the facility is, and the kids may choose from a variety of toys and spaces to play. They offer a wet bar, which is quite handy, and the best part is the staff—they are really nice, helpful, and pleasant, which helps make our celebration wonderful and successful and stress-free because they were there to help and feel you welcome.”
“10/10 recommend the Martinique. The staff was wonderful and accommodating, especially Steve. Steve went above and beyond to make my wedding day perfect. The food and drinks were delicious. The room was beautifully decorated. I cannot say enough good things about this venue.”
“I really enjoy taking evening walks here in their walking path. Plenty of families here with their kids playing or participating in their favorite sport. In the summer time they have music in the park with live bands playing today’s hits or old time favorites. Bring a lawn chair and enjoy the music.”
“Was here for a wedding. The place is huge. Could use a revamp because it's old and noticeable. The woman's restroom is up the stairs and they are kind of steep. It's big and had 3 stalls. The men's is on the main floor. Of you need a big plane for 200+ people then this is it but don't expect an updated look. Parking isn't that great either.”
“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.

“It was a great intimate space for a gathering the have an outdoor space also which is a plus. The kitchen area was clean. They had ample amount of tables and chairs. Parking of course is street parking but spots were available within the block.”
“Lake Katherine is amazing. My wife and I take our son for walks over there. You can walk around and view nature. They have a monarch butterfly exhibit that's open in the spring/summer that kids will absolutely love. You can go canoeing in the lake and watch the swans which would be a perfect date with that special someone if you're into that kind of things also with amazing views of wildlife, wild plants, a community garden hidden away in the back that people plant and grow veggies and plants for the local pantry. They have a small book library you can borrow from but please take one, give one if you can. Lake Katherine has a great experience and I'm sure anyone would love it..”
“We had a great wedding at the Belvedere. Throughout the planning process, they took time to answer a lot of questions and listen to the ideas we had in mind. When the day came, the hall was put together beautifully and exactly how we pictured it. The food was also excellent. If you are planning on having an event look no further than the Belvedere. If you need decorations, work with Events with Savannah as well!!”
“I highly recommend this venue. I had my wedding here on 10/04/24. It was decorated beautifully by the venue and the food and cake included were delicious. Jose the venue coordinator is amazing. He is flexible and so thorough. He helped make sure nothing was forgotten. I am completely satisfied with their service and can't imagine how it could have been any better.”
“We recently held a post funeral dinner service at Elmcrest Banquets, and I cannot say enough about the professionalism and compassion of the entire staff. The space was beautifully prepared and thoughtfully arranged to create a warm and comforting atmosphere for my family and my guests. They have two parking lots to handle overflow of guests. The food was beautifully presented, fresh, and delicious. Highly recommend.”

“My mom's 90th birthday celebration was there. Everyone loved the venue, and the staff was amazing.A few guests didn't know the black owned venue existed on the Southside of Chicago. It's perfect for intimate affairs. Let's stop running to Cicero for an event. Use our own.”
“The Create Space team hosted our retreat group in Greece, and they were fantastic! This was our second trip with CSY, and from meeting us at the airport to seeing us off at the same point, they went above and beyond to ensure our safety, scheduling and enjoyment. They participated in every retreat activity with us, knew every traveler on a first-name basis, and addressed every concern with urgency and kindness. By the end of our trip, they were family, and our only question was, ‘When will we see you all again?’ Kudos and gratitude to CSY!”
“The Nineteenth Century Charitable Association has captured a period in time and preserved it beautifully. The antique furnishings make it the perfect venue for a romantic wedding reception.”

“I haven't visited this park in over five years. We hiked for two hours. My friend Andrea led the hike. It was very peaceful and clean. They even have a black- owned smoothie bar at the entrance of the stairs. I will definitely visit again.”
“We were told they only take drinks from the west side of the bar. They service is bad, they don't offer to help. They ran out of the liquor we were drinking. The.waitress”
“I rescued a very timid 8-9yo Gordon Settler 4 years ago. thanks to their incredible patience and love, this dog flourished and grew to heights that I thought she would never reach. I needed to put my dog down this week but wanted to thank, Jasmine (Gidget would follow her rather than me) Giselle, Edward, Francis, and too many to count for their devotion to the dogs they care for. I will always be thankful for service.”

“I’m an event planner with WE EVENTS and have hired Mr Dave for several of my clients and he never disappoints. Singing, bubbles, scarfs and more! Not only is he fun for the kids but he’s easy on the ears for the adults as well. He can play kid music and adult favorites. Have a kids party coming up? Consider hiring Mr Dave to keep the kids busy! You won’t regret it!”
“I attended a special event at the Mansion with Geoffrey Baer for WTTW. The place is very cool. Some of the rooms have been restored to their original furnishings and some are bare. The library, chapel, and hidden staircase are highlights of the mansion. The weather was not good for outdoor activities on the day of my visit, but the grounds are nice and would make a great place for a walk on a nice day.”
“I got married here 14 yrs ago before the fire..The sisters that own it our awesome..Total honesty with all charges..I'm having a party this weekend..8/25. I hope Joann can make this as nice as possible..money is tuff but I may have a massive party in the next 2 yrs..God bless the owners and staff. Highly recommend”
“Absolutely loved this place. They have a gallery in the museum where you can purchase the art and support local artists. The gallery is free to enter, but the art exhibits (side from the outside art) require an entrance fee. They change out the art every couple of months.”
