Our venue was by far the best experience we had throughout the entire wedding planning process — starting from our very first tour. Having everything in one location and a full wedding planning service included in the venue cost was truly unmatched, and it was the only place we found in Chicago that offered this. Our wedding planners made the entire experience seamless and completely stress-free. We never once felt overwhelmed or rushed. They created a clear timeline, guided us every step of the way, and helped make our day absolutely perfect. Their recommendations for vendors in the city were invaluable, especially in a city as large and overwhelming as Chicago. One of the highlights of our entire wedding experience was getting to know our planners and having their support throughout the process. We will forever be grateful for their dedication, care, and effort. Shoutout to Briscel, Ally and Kalila. They went above and beyond to ensure our cultures were respected and honored. One side of our family came from Puerto Rico, and they made sure this was reflected beautifully — from Puerto Rican beer from the island to tropical cocktails that brought an island feel to our celebration. The food was phenomenal — we received countless compliments saying it was the best wedding food guests had ever had. Everything came out hot, cocktail hour appetizers were elevated, and the bar service was incredible with so many bartenders that no one ever had to wait for a drink. The staff was kind, organized, and attentive, and the entire day flowed seamlessly without a single hiccup. We could not imagine a better venue or team.

Room 1520 is truly a hidden gem in Chicago! From the moment we toured the venue, we knew it was the perfect place for our wedding on September 21, 2024. The space is stunning—modern, elegant, and versatile, with a beautiful ambiance that made our celebration feel so special. We had 125 guests, and the size of the venue was perfect for our party—spacious enough to feel grand, yet intimate enough to create a warm, inviting atmosphere. It’s also an incredibly affordable option compared to many other venues in the city, offering exceptional value without compromising on quality. Celeste Hamilton, the owner, was a joy to work with. She was professional, attentive, and dedicated to making our day perfect. Max Hamilton, our day-of representative, was amazing—he kept everything running smoothly, allowing us to relax and enjoy the day without a worry. The bar package was fantastic, with a great selection of drinks and incredible bartenders who kept our guests happy all night. We also loved the signature drink, which added a fun personal touch. The getting ready suite was perfect for our bridal party, with plenty of space for everyone and great natural light. It was also dog-friendly, which was such a big plus for us—our dog was able to be there with us while we were getting ready, and it made the experience even more special. The rooftop, with its stunning view of the Chicago skyline, made for breathtaking wedding party photos that we’ll cherish forever. Plus, having the venue for the whole day allowed us to take our time, enjoy each part of the day, and not feel rushed. Another huge perk was the easy, free street parking in the area—especially in a city like Chicago, this made a big difference for our guests. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue or team to make our wedding day unforgettable. If you're looking for a beautiful, affordable, and dog-friendly venue with exceptional service, Room 1520 is the place! We highly recommend it!

We had the greatest experience at our wedding and Kat and the team at REMI truly made it special. It truly felt like they cared as much as we did. Everyone on staff and especially the bar tenders and servers could not have done a better job. The venue is beautiful and we had 137 guests in our full service menu. If you don’t just want a venue and truly want a team of people who will care for you in this way. Choose Remi. It has an elegance to it and is certainly a gem. The food was excellent and they serve plenty of it. Thank you Kat and everyone at Remi/Wooden Paddle. We originally chose a different venue and after paying the deposit, the Remi was still so much of a better value and the exact type of place we wanted. The King family consider you family now! Mr and Mrs King ❤️🥳🍾

Lacuna Events is THE place to get married (specifically for me, Lacuna Lofts). It was the first of only two places we toured for venues, and I fell in love with it instantly. Not only because it is such a unique venue, but all the staff I interacted with were both fun and helpful. I can say this specifically about Tania who probably had a million things going on but always made it feel like I was the only person on her radar. She was professional, SO easy to work with, a wealth of knowledge and advice and I could tell she genuinely had myself and the weddings best interest at top of mind with every interaction. The day of staff were lovely and the food is AMAZING. It has been a month since our wedding and we are still getting compliments on it - and a close friend of mine even booked this space for her 2026 wedding. Choosing this venue was the easiest decision in my whole wedding planning experience. I have endless praise and applause for this venue and all of the people who help propel it from a cool and artsy space to an unforgettable experience.

First and foremost we just want to give a shoutout to Melvin and Micki, they were so accommodating and went above and beyond to make sure every detail was flawless. Our guests are still telling us how beautiful the venue was. From start to finish, everything was seamless and elegant. The highlight was the outdoor terrace we used for cocktail hour. The views of the skyline, the lake, and a sunset created the BEST views and photo opportunities for us and our guests. The inside reception space is stunning. The modern decor, lighting, and impeccable service set the tone for the whole night. If we ever needed anything the night of the wedding the staff saw to it in a matter of minutes. The venue truly speaks for itself and I'm amazed at how much of a hidden gem this venue is.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about how amazing this venue is! Chez was the only venue in Chicago that checked every single box for our wedding. We had both our ceremony and reception in the space. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue! Natalie and her team were an absolute dream to work with! Natalie was extremely organized throughout our planning process and always made sure to keep us to date on any changes or details for our big day. Our guests are still raving about how gorgeous the venue was and how seamless things were. I am so happy we were able to host our dream wedding in the beautiful space, worth every penny!

This venue was everything we needed for our special day. The standard here is unbeatable — beautiful, affordable, and truly designed to fit your vision and your budget. The staff goes above and beyond for every single person who walks through their doors, and there honestly wasn’t a single problem they couldn’t solve. And the best bonus: they’re pet-friendly! Having our dog be part of our big day meant the world to us. Truly an amazing experience from start to finish. Highly recommend!

We loved having our wedding at Loft Lucia! The space is beautiful, the rooftop is absolutely stunning, and the on-site kitchen made things so easy for our caterer. Rebecca was great to work with—super responsive and accommodating throughout the planning process. She was especially helpful when we had a last-minute change and needed to add a guest to our setup; she handled it quickly and with no stress. The whole experience was seamless, and we’re so glad we chose Loft Lucia for our big day.

Our wedding at Warehouse 109 was an absolute dream! From the moment we first reached out, the staff, particularly Cerena and Mandy, were incredibly responsive, professional, and accommodating. They did everything possible to ensure our special day was perfect. The bartender, Craig, was also amazing throughout the reception and all our guests raved about him. The venue itself was very reasonably priced and had a wonderful rustic appeal, with plenty of space for our 100 guests. The newly designed "library" building was the perfect setting for our ceremony, with beautiful natural light and an intimate feel. We couldn't be happier with our decision to host our wedding at Warehouse 109 and would highly recommend it to any couple looking for an amazing wedding experience.

The Allure on the Lake is such a beautiful venue. Outdoor or indoor…the lake backdrop is stunning. The venue itself is so versatile. It can fit any style from rustic barn feel to modern luxe. The spacious bridal suite is perfect for any bride and her bridesmaids.
