“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.”
“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 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!”
“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 ?”
“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 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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Had a wonderful time with my 4 year old, car-loving boy! The owner was very knowledgeable, friendly and enthusiastic.
I cannot wait to visit and experience again, this time with my Dad, who grew up playing with these!!!!!
Thank you, Mike !”
“The most amazing place to celebrate any occasion. This is the second time I've returned to Chateau Ritz to celebrate my other daughter's 15th birthday, and I knew without a doubt that it's the best banquet hall and that my expectations for service and quality would be met. They make your event as relaxed as possible and help you throughout the entire planning process. I was extremely happy with all the services, from the banquet staff to the food service. Jess and Mike, thank you for everything; you are amazing, and Jess, your decorations were beautiful—something magical. Thank you for everything, Chateau; I will definitely return for my next event.”
“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.

“If you know, you KNOW about the Berwyn Eagles Club.
This place isn’t just a venue — it’s history, it’s community, it’s the kind of spot where memories stack up over decades. I’ve been coming here for 20+ years, and there’s nothing quite like walking through those doors and feeling the energy of everything that’s happened inside.
And for wrestling fans? This place was legendary.
Watching AAW Wrestling shows here was something special. The crowd right on top of the action, the noise, the chants — it felt like you were part of the show, not just watching it. Absolute chaos in the best possible way.
And then… last night.
Being there to see Seth Rollins — yeah, Seth Freakin Rollins — in a place like this? Unreal. One of those moments where you just stop and think, “This is why we come to shows.” The kind of memory that sticks with you forever.
Which makes it even harder to hear that shows might not be coming back here.
That one hurts.
Because places like the Berwyn Eagles Club aren’t just buildings — they’re part of the fabric of the community. Generations of fans, decades of events, and countless unforgettable nights. Losing wrestling here doesn’t just mean losing a venue… it means losing a piece of something bigger.
We need to find a way to bring the shows back. Future fans deserve to experience what we’ve had for years. The energy, the passion, the pure magic of a packed house on wrestling night.
This place has given us so much over the last 20+ years — it deserves to keep doing that for the next 20.
Pro tip: If you ever had the chance to catch a show here, you already know. And if there’s any way to bring it back… we should make it happen. 🦅💥”
“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.”
“So much to offer here, and welcome to all. Highlights include the Christmas Bazaar and the many events they host. Come on into the gift shop and treat yourself to great Irish goodies: Club Lemon soft drinks, Barry's tea, Taytos potato chips and tons of Irish candy. Handmade gifts too. Authentic Irish bangers (made in Chicago) and scones + Irish soda bread available in the freezer - or get bangers & mash in the Fifth Province Pub.”
“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 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.”

“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!”
“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 my dad's celebration of life at this remodeled Post. Everyone who operates this place was a pleasure. Shout out to Bruce & Ophelia! I highly recommend this place for an event. The hall was very clean with a full bar inside. Also, they support our veterans. I wouldn't hesitate to have another event here!”
“Just had my dog Lillie groomed by Anna, she did an amazing job! She is so kind to my dog and I so appreciate all of her hard work! This is a really great place- the people are wonderful!”

“not very accessable. as a mobility aid user I noticed how steep any of the wheelchair ramps were immediately, and had to ask staff for assistance more than once.”
“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.”

“This facility is Awesome. My experience was exceptional. Everyone I spoke with and had interaction with related to the DMV and Levy Center was very professional and polite.”
“Our granddaughter had her eighth birthday party at ClimbZone this last Saturday and it was huge success. What a fun place to be - lots to do - happy kids - happy birthday girl! This is the place to celebrate. The staff does everything from setting up the birthday table, supplies, your own private helper who serves the food and cleans up. It was awesome! All you have to do is show up, bring in your cake and sing! Seriously - this is the place to be to make every birthday a day to remember. Kuddos to Kim (our helper) and Bill, the Manager! Couldn’t ask for better customer service. I’d give it 10 stars if I could!!!!”
“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.”
“Tessarae is such a warm, inviting place full of the kindest people. We had my daughter's birthday party there and it was a great experience. The environment was very inviting and comfortable, our group of teens had a really fun time doing a painting lesson together. We're looking forward to returning for painting lessons and art anytime in the future!”
“ROB took care of my family, Ramon catered to us in every way professionally and courteously manner..... YOU BOTH ARE WELL APPRECIATED! We NEED more people like you both....”
