Services Offered

There are no surprise fees or charges as the wedding gets closer. The first meeting at the venue will result in the creation of a timeline of your wedding and the design on how the rooms will be set up. They provide beverage services on-site and are flexible with your options. You can serve a variety of beer, wine, liquor, champagne, and signature drinks during an open, limited, or cash bar. You have the option to use an outside caterer and there is a staging kitchen they have access to the day of the wedding.

Chicago Theater Works does have tables, chairs, stage, dance floor, furniture, audio equipment, and lighting to use.

    Beyond excellent!

    "Where do I begin? The choices for spaces are so inviting, but once I narrowed my choice to the Chicago Theater Works, it was seamless. Bill was prompt to reply to my request and connect me to Dana who was amazing in helping with all the details. After the initial meeting, we had a walk through two weeks before to solidify the plans. She was also quick to respond to my questions. And then... at the event, they were both present and incredibly helpful. It's wonderful to work with nice and professional people. CTW is a great location with lots of street parking available. We were able to decorate it the way we wanted and got so many complements. My guests were delighted as they didn't know it existed. The room is spacious and I had over 100 guests. The bar was plentiful, the kitchen has all you need, there are guests and host bathrooms as well as a changing room. I would definitely recommend as well as use this venue again. Thank you Bill and Dana! You're the best!"

    Definitely recommend Chicago Theater Works to couples looking for wedding venue!

    My wife and I had our wedding last month at Chicago Theater Works. We have a short period of preparation window (2-3 months) and do have a few special requests that the venue help accommodate all of them. The owner Bill and manager Dawn are very kind to offer customized advice and responsive to my endless messages just to make sure every detail is considered and no regret left behind. As a hands on groom, I've visited multiple venues in West Loop and Lake View areas and this venue's pricing is the most reasonable and that is another reason we chose Chicago Theater Works. We're also glad our guests love the venue and they watched the video we created on the huge screen located at the center of stage before the ceremony, which is an ideal way to present our love story and liven up the atmosphere. We had a great memory there and definitely would recommend to other couples.

    Chicago Theater Works's reply:

    Thank you for choosing CTW to host your special day! I was a beautiful Wedding and we wish you all the best!
