Bright, beautiful space - and incredible team!

Early on we knew Room 1520 would be our venue of choice for our wedding. The packages they offer for the space and the team that is there to support you the entire day is truly the best of the best in the city of Chicago.

We booked the venue awhile ago when Ashley was the manager and she was so helpful - providing recommendations for other vendors and answering all of our big and small questions. After she left we were beyond excited to know that the venue management duties were being done by the Urban Allure team. Ellie was there with Nicole to support us throughout our wedding day.

The day before we dropped all of our items at the venue and Ellie placed everything perfectly - not once did I think "did they do this?" everything was handled down to every last detail.

Post wedding, all of our items were packed neatly and it was as simple as picking up the boxes and heading out the door. The entire team is great, but the space is also super versatile. It's a big bright space and we designed it in a way that isn't usually done and we got so many compliments on the venue - it was the perfect size and space for our big day!

Perfect for a Small/ Medium Wedding or Event

My now husband and I wanted no more than 150 people at our wedding. Room 1520 was perfect because that is the maximum guest limit for a plated dinner! Celeste, the co-owner of the venue, is so easy to work with! She is warm, friendly, and truly wants your event to be successful. She gives you a detailed brochure with information on the required bar package you choose, experienced vendors that make wedding planning so much easier, and approved caterers. Because of all of this excellent information, my husband and I were able to plan our wedding and reception ourselves in 6 months. We were able to load in our wedding and reception items 2 days before our wedding. The bar mirror was personalized prior to our rehearsal. We completed our rehearsal the night before our wedding. On the day of the wedding, we utilized the gorgeous bridal suite for getting ready, the many beautiful on site photography locations, the wedding, flipped the room during cocktail hour, and had our reception. Celeste’s hired staff are relaxed, fun, and host a great party! Max, the Manager on site for the day, was extremely helpful and accommodating for anything we needed. We highly recommend Room 1520!

Dream wedding

We were married just 2 days ago and I could not wait to post this review. We did the all inclusive package with Room 1520 and let me tell you this is absolutely where you want to have your wedding. We had DJ, Photo Booth and day of coordinator included and every single service went above and beyond our expectations. Nicole and Alison helped us make so many important decisions and ensured the day went smooth. We are still on cloud 9. My guests could not stop commenting on how beautiful the venue was. We barely needed decor because this space is so beautiful itself. Thank you for making our day perfect.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

What a great venue for a wedding! As president of Fourth Estate Audio, I've been privileged to provide professional DJ entertainment at Room 1520 many times. And I am consistently impressed with the personal attention each client, guest and vendor receives. As a simple, intimate, all-white room, it's extraordinarily flexible, and the perfect place for couples who want to add their own personal decor and coloring without clashing with anything. Here's a gallery of a recent wedding we did at Room 1520: https://www.pinterest.com/chicagodjlights/angelica-patrick-bermudez-real-chicago-wedding/. A big thumbs-up for Room 1520!
