This is a PERFECT space!
Wow this space is awesome! It's right in downtown Lemont so it has such a cute vibe. And the huge windows that line the front of the venue let the outside in. Plenty of natural light such a bonus! Who likes going into a stuffy ballroom that is just an enclosed dark space. The interior is really neutral and updated so you're not competing with interior decor when bringing in your vision for your event. And I personally always look for a venue that has the option of an outdoor area and this one has a perfect spot on the side of the building to set up a cocktail hour for. Love that! There's a super cute stand for beverage service that I heard was brought in from Wrigley Field. How fun! It's small details like the beautiful cross back chairs in a beautiful on trend wood that makes all the difference! Even after the event is over there are some pretty cute bars/restaurants to hit up so the party doesn't end! I went here for a baby shower but it's the perfect space for a small wedding which lets face it is todays reality. I could also see doing some cool work events here or birthday parties. A+

Look no further, this space is amazing!!!
Lauren and Hector were amazing to work with! We had to postpone our 170 person wedding due to covid but still wanted to have a small ceremony on our original date and just celebrate later. I was overwhelmed with how I was going to pull it off. I found 223 Main and knew this space was going to be perfect. They have everything you’d possibly need, tables, chairs, linens, a cute bar to use, and even some decor, plus tons of other stuff. They allowed us to come up multiple times to see the space and figure out what items we would need for the day of and drop things off before hand. They helped us make our special day, so easy and relaxing. If we needed them at anytime before, during or even after the event, they were right there to answer any questions or help. I would 11/10 recommend them for any event you need. I will definitely keep them in mind for any future events we have. Thank you again Lauren and Hector, we are forever grateful for your space to have our mini wedding, everything turned out so perfect.

Absolutely Perfect
We booked 223 Main for our daughter’s wedding. I can’t say enough about Hector and Lauren the owners of the event space…they went above and beyond to make sure the day was perfect. The venue worked out wonderfully for us, as we were able to have the wedding ceremony outside on their wooded and grassy area. We were able to enjoy the quaint town of Lemont and our guests then moved inside for the reception. The event space itself worked perfectly for our guests, as there was plenty of space for dinner and dancing. They have a very cool bar on wheels which we used outside for cocktail hour and moved inside for the reception. We highly recommend 223 Main and have done so already! It was perfect for the wedding and plan to use them again for other parties in the future.

We struggled to re-plan our wedding multiple times during the COVID-19 pandemic and ended up celebrating with our close family at 223 Main. When our photographer and guests said they loved the space, we decided to open it up to the public for other couples to enjoy.
223 Main is the perfect space for intimate weddings and celebrations! Our goal is to help other couples frustrated with all of the options and re-planing, celebrate their big day while still following current guidelines and regulations. 223 Main provides couples with a beautiful, open-concept space that is entirely customizable to meet their needs and style.
