“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!”
“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”
“Amazing class. I learned a lot. The instructors were patient and friendly. The food we cooked was terrific and the group environment was really fun. I will definitely do another of these classes.”
“This is such a special place, I can't say enough nice things about our experience! We hosted my teenage daughter's birthday here and she had such a memorable time. The space itself is ample and can be customized to your event. The vintage pieces add a special warmth and charm. Yet, the cherry on top is the owner Myriam. She has a heart of gold and goes the extra mile to make sure your event is special and meaningful. I was touched by her generosity and grace - the world needs more people like Myriam.”
“I’m normally a little skeptical regarding escape rooms but I played along for some coworker team bonding… except this escape room was actually fun, interesting, and challenging! We had a really fun time and Agent Storm was very attentive and thorough in all of our explanations. Thanks for a fun afternoon outing, Agent Storm! The puzzles in the room we did were both attainable and challenging, and I loved hearing about things we had missed at the end of the session. We had a great time and the session was very well designed!”
“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.”
“We had our wedding reception only at Greenhouse loft at end of March 2026.
We did get very lucky with the weather and so as a result were able to do a last minute switch on the day of to do our cocktail hour outdoors! The team worked quickly and efficiently with our caterers to make sure everything was set up outside even though we had previously decided on having our event in the gallery.
The team and event liaisons had great communication prior to the event. We did a 2nd walk through prior to our final walk though, and this was easy to coordinate. At our final walk through, the Greenhouse Lofts team was prepared with pertinent questions and last minute detail clarifications, and made us feel at ease about planning our day. On the day of, the event liaisons took care of coordinating decorations, security on site, AV, and all the details. Also a photo booth and graphic designer are included in the venue fee, which our guests really enjoyed!
Also included with the venue rental was a Style Matters DJ, and DJ Duke was incredible in keeping the vibes right and the energy high throughout the night. He was our DJ for the entire event for a total of 7 hours and did not miss a beat. He showed us a behind the scenes of how he makes playlists/mixes and was very organized in communication prior to the event.
Would recommend Greenhouse Lofts, Spencer and Duke for any event.”
“We got married at the Joinery in August 2025 and loved it. The space is beautiful and the vibe was exactly what we wanted. We were looking for something with character and that was naturally beautiful and interesting without too much added decor. Shay was wonderful to work with and the space worked perfectly for our guest count ~100. It was the first venue we toured and we knew immediately it was where we wanted to get married. We loved the indoor and outdoor spaces equally which was important to us. We loved the outdoor patio and it was even more built out by the time we got married, the speakeasy upstairs, and that we could BYOB alcohol.
The cherry on top is the Millhouse next door which we also rented for the weekend and was where our immediate families stayed and I got ready morning of. Having that space allowed us to bring all of the decor and other items we needed next door in advance and our wonderful coordinator was able to set up everything day of and bring it back at the end of the night. I'm not sure how we would have managed the transport of all these things otherwise, so this was an added benefit we hadn't considered in advance. Having everyone next door also made it so easy throughout the weekend and the house is spacious and well kept. Shay and the Joinery team were wonderful and we have nothing but good things to say about the Joinery!”
“I recently attended an event at Long Hall Chicago. It was fantastic! The venue is amazingly decorated and very suitable for an unforgettable day or evening. Alina is a wonderful hostess, very attentive to the clients wishes and needs. I highly recommend this place for your next event.”
“Alison was exceptional in her role as both wedding planner and Event Manager at The Fairlie. With a large wedding of 270 guests and an equally large bridal party, her organization, patience, and calm presence were invaluable from start to finish. She handled countless details, timelines, emails, questions, and last-minute changes with professionalism and grace, always making us feel supported and confident. Her deep knowledge of The Fairlie allowed her to offer smart guidance, creative problem-solving, and thoughtful suggestions that truly enhanced the planning process.
The Fairlie itself was a stunning venue and accommodated our large guest count beautifully, including a spacious dance floor that stayed packed all night. The venue team was also incredibly accommodating in allowing us to deliver décor and supplies well in advance of the wedding—especially helpful given the holiday timing—which lifted a significant burden and helped the entire weekend run more smoothly. As an evening wedding in January, the atmosphere was especially magical—the entire space glowed with candlelight and felt warm, romantic, and elegant despite the winter cold outside. Alison and her team executed every detail seamlessly, ensuring the ceremony and reception flowed. We could not have asked for a better venue or a more capable, caring professional to guide us through such an important day.”
“It had been many years since my last visit. Spanning three floors, it seems Dalvage One has found a balance between being an architectural salvage location and an event space. Much of the first and second floors is dedicated to weddings and parties. Still a very fun placevto explore in.”
“This Banquet is classy beautiful and clean. Very well organized. The owner Nilka and Manager Margie are a pleasure to work with! This is the place you want to throw your party. Built with excellence.”
“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!”
“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!”

“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.”
“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.
Margarita”
“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.”

“I go to car related events .This place has improved with the world of wheels over the years. I still miss the lowrider hopping contest they used to have when it was at Mccormick Place. Maybe one day they'll bring that back”
“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.

“I would recommend anyone to work with Nicolle at Ravenswood Loft! Though we ended up having a venue change a week prior to the event due to unforeseen circumstances, she was an absolute consummate professional and personally ensured that we had a wonderful replacement space for our event. She brought everything necessary and personally made sure that our event went smoothly. We were so fortunate to work with someone so committed to doing a great job even in the face of adverse circumstances!”
“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.”
“We booked a last minute tufting class for my daughter’s 18th birthday and it was such an amazing experience! ?
Tess was absolutely incredible! She was so patient, helpful, and made sure everyone felt comfortable throughout the entire process. She really took her time with us and made it fun from start to finish.
The whole experience was unique, creative, and perfect for celebrating a special occasion. My daughter loved it, and we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend!”
“A lively organization dedicatedto Irish culture. There's lots going on including a gift shop. Get on the mailing list to find out about art, music, dancing and even Friday night fish fries.”
“Amazing views and amazing food. The weather was flawless and the river was very scenic to watch as I lounged and enjoyed my lunch. Will definitely be back. Thanks to everyone who made this such a great experience.”
“We hosted my son’s first birthday here because it has a very cozy yet large feel. Simon worked with me to make sure I had plenty of time to decorate, and dealing with issues that arose. My guests were very impressed with the venue and I was able to make my vision come true for the birthday party. The music, lighting, and tech, and access were all easy to figure out. Thank you!”

“Rented a party room for my daughter's bday.... great facility, but they are slow returning your security deposit. They guy says you'll get it in 7 days after your event, but he doesn't mail it until like the 7 day”
