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!

Highly recommend!

We did the all inclusive package with Room 1520 for our wedding ceremony and reception and it could not have gone any more perfectly. Celeste and Max (and Nicole from Urban Allure) were so helpful in the lead up and on the big day itself. The space itself is beautiful and was a good size for our 130 person wedding. The bar had a great selection for the guests as well!

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.

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!
