    Fantastic experience with Galleria Marchetti

    It was great working with the GM team on our wedding - Danielle was so helpful and responsive throughout the entire planning process. Everything went perfectly and we really enjoyed the experience. We would highly recommend Galleria to anyone looking for a wedding venue!

    Galleria Marchetti's reply:

    Hi Thomas! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review, we are happy to hear your event went wonderfully and you had a great experience with Danielle! We hope to have you back in for another celebration sometime soon! All the best for a bright and happy future together!

    Dream wedding day

    Galleria Marchetti is a gorgeous venue, and their team is top notch. From beginning to end, they are professional, courteous, and talented. Their location is stunning, with the small exception of the L train occasionally running right past the courtyard where we held our ceremony (though this is to be expected in downtown Chicago). We loved the indoor-outdoor flow of the space (Pavilion/Courtyard). Their catering and bar teams are exceptional, and they have tons of delicious add-ons if you want some special treats for your guests - we chose to include a late night flaming doughnut station and taco station. The venue also allows you to stay later than most, so if you want a late night dance floor this is a perfect option. As a note, there is a very small, cozy bridal suite with some chairs and a vanity. It is likely not enough room to actually do the entire process of getting ready, and you typically don't have super early access to the venue to do that anyway. But it was a perfect private spot to get away for a dress change and some make-up/hair touch-ups throughout the night. Overall, would very highly recommend if it is in your budget!

    Galleria Marchetti's reply:

    Hi Noelle! CONGRATULATIONS again! We can't thank you enough for choosing us to be a part of your BIG day! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of the venue recently! We are so thrilled to hear you had a great experience with us. It was one unforgettable, magical night!! All the best to our Newlyweds, here's to many more years of happiness ahead! Cheers!

    xoxo,
    Galleria Marchetti Team

    Wonderful Wedding Venue

    We scheduled our wedding to be July 11th, 2020 at the Galleria Marchetti. However, due to covid, we ended up rescheduling our wedding 2 times to ensure our guests' safety. This venue was very understanding of the situation and flexible. Galleria Marchetti was also wonderful to work with. They answered my many questions leading up to our special day. The day of the wedding, they had a venue coordinator that helped keep my wedding on schedule and worked with my vendors to make sure everything went well. When they had questions day of, they coordinated with my maid of honor so that we could enjoy our special day. Also, the food was amazing! My guests haven't stopped talking about the sushi and late night tacos.

    Galleria Marchetti's reply:

    Hi Kathleen! Congratulations once again! We are happy to of been by your side throughout this experience, and we were SO excited to finally help execute your BIG day! It was such a loving, heartwarming, fun evening that we were grateful to have been a part of! The best and brightest to our newlyweds, cheers!

    The perfect venue!

    I didn't think getting married in a tent in Chicago in the winter was a possibility but Galleria Marchetti made those dreams come true. My guests couldn't believe how beautiful the venue was and I heard rave reviews all night about the food and service. To top it off Danielle and the entire team was so amazing to work with - extremely responsible and flexible and made our wedding day so magical! Every single aspect exceeded my expectations and I can't recommend this venue highly enough.

    Galleria Marchetti's reply:

    Emily, we are SO happy to hear your wedding celebration on NYE was everything you dreamed of and more! It was amazing to watch your wedding come to life and it was such a beautiful, perfect night ! You and Scott were so sweet to work with throughout the planning process & we wish you the best of luck as you start your next chapter as Husband and Wife! Congratulations! 💖 xoxo - Danielle

    November 19, 2022 Galleria Marchetti Wedding Reception

    We had our wedding at Galleria Marchetti on November 19, 2022. The venue was beautiful, the food was excellent and the staff took care of our every need. The Galleria Marchetti coordinators were very professional and responsive to our questions during planning, leading up to the event and the night of the event. We were very happy with our wedding and would and have recommended Galleria Marchetti as a great venue to have their wedding.

    Galleria Marchetti's reply:

    Amazing October Wedding

    Galleria Marchetti was incredible! We got married on October 7, 2022 and we’re beyond happy with this venue. We worked with Danielle and she was so helpful, easy to work with and responded so quickly to my emails. Aside from the amazing staff our guests couldn’t stop talking about how unique and beautiful our wedding was. I can’t say enough amazing things about this venue and all of the staff that work there!

    Galleria Marchetti is the most magical venue there is in Chicago!

    Galleria Marchetti is the most magical venue there is in Chicago! We had our wedding on May 14th - the weather was perfect, the staff was incredible, the food was rave-worthy. I tear up whenever I think about our big day. Everything was perfect. We worked with Alyssa during planning - I could talk about her work ethic for hours. She is detail-oriented, responsive, flexible, organized and just the absolute sweetest. If we can go back and relive this day, we 100% would. And we wouldn't change a thing! Thank you, Galleria Marchetti, for making our big day as special as can be.

    Galleria Marchetti's reply:

    Hi Samantha! Thank you so much for sharing your feedback from your recent wedding that took place at the venue. It certainly was a perfect day! Alyssa is one of our amazing Event Producers and had such a great time working with you to make your dream day a reality! Thank you for choosing us to be a part of your BIG day, we hope to have you back in for another future event! We wish all the best to our Galleria Marchetti Newlyweds!!💖

    Best Venue in Chicago!

    Working with the Galleria Marchetti was an absolute DREAM! Extremely professional and were patient with us throughout our whole wedding process due to us planning a wedding during the pandemic. Our main point of contact was Natalie, she was the absolute BEST. No question was too small and she always made us feel at ease throughout planning. Their staff is top notch and the venue is absolutely gorgeous. I felt like we were getting married in the secret garden but inside the city. When we walked into our wedding venue - we were absolutely blown away. Thank you Galleria Marchetti for giving us the wedding of our dreams!

    Beautiful hidden gem in the city!

    Working with Natalie was an absolute dream! My now husband and I booked this as our venue for our -last minute- Chicago wedding and could not have been happier with our choice! The entire Galleria Marchetti team was professional, organized, and really ensured our guests had a great time, which was super important to us as we were one of the first weddings post-Covid. Highly recommend!

    Beautiful venue, fantastic staff, wonderfully memorable experience!

    My husband and I recently got married at Galleria Marchetti and it was perfect!! Seriously, from my first visit to GM all the way through our big day, Natalie and team and Galleria were amazing. My husband and I got engaged in December 2019 and in February of 2020 chose Galleria Marchetti for our wedding venue with a wedding date of October 11, 2020. Just a matter of weeks after booking Covid-19 hit. Natalie's communication throughout the entire process was awesome. She always kept us up to date with any changes and ALWAYS held strong and kept hope alive that we'd be able to celebrate on our original date. The team at Galleria made certain that if we did have to cancel due to Covid-19 we would be guaranteed a new date of our choosing. The customer service we received, especially during such trying times, was incredible. Natalie was always reachable via email or phone, she was always patient and no question was too small or insignificant. The range of packages and offerings at Galleria Marchetti makes it easy to have the exact event you want. We had so much fun choosing food and trying everything at the tasting. The venue itself is BEAUTIFUL. The ivy wall, stone floors, fire tables, and garden make GM feel like an Italian garden nestled in the middle of big city. The roof on the Pergola side retracts so it's both and indoor and outdoor space, which made for a perfect scenario during a pandemic. Our wedding went off without any issues as planned on our original date. Natalie was on site day of and everything was perfect. I could not have asked for a better day. Thank you to everyone at Galleria Marchetti who helped make our day the best ever!

    Galleria Marchetti's reply:

    It was truly our pleasure to work with you, and see this magical day come together Genevieve! Thank you for the kind words, and for taking the time to write a review. We wish you and your husband the most amazing future together, and cannot thank you enough for choosing Galleria Marchetti for this joyous celebration!!
    Best wishes!! xoxo

    Absolutely breathtaking. Staff was so wonderful, especially Natalie and Alyssa. Our guest have not stopped expressing how pleasant Galleria was. This isn’t your typical venue. Service was over the top and we could not have asked for a better place to hold our wedding reception. Highly recommend Galleria Marchetti!

    Fairytale Wedding Experience

    We had the most perfect day at Galleria Marchetti for our wedding on July 27th. The weather was perfect and the venue looked amazing. Their outside ceremony garden is gorgeous and fit nicely for our 150 guests. The servers and staff were so prepared for everyone. There were absolutely no hiccups during the day. Our reception was inside the tented pavilion and the table setup was perfection. Our guests had the brunch buffet and several of them mentioned to me how good the food was! I don't think I've ever been to a wedding with really good food. :-) It's usually inconsistent with the high guest count, but the chef did a top notch job with everything! Thanks to Natalie and the team for their responsiveness and professionalism throughout the whole process and during our big day. We would do it all over again if we could. Simply the best day of our lives!

    Galleria Marchetti's reply:

    Hi Yannick!

    You are so kind!! It was beyond a pleasure working with you! The night was perfect! We are beyond grateful you chose Galleria Marchetti to celebrate your love!! We will pass along all of the kind words to our Chef, Banquet Captain, and Galleria Marchetti Dream Team =-)!! Congratulations!! We could not be more excited for you both!! Best of Wishes =-)!!

    xoxo

    Gorgeous space!

    Natalie and Cathryn made it a dream come true wedding from start to finish. Their response time was unbelievably quick and their attention to detail was spot on with every last minute change I had. The food was out of this world and our friends are still talking about it. We had the ceremony in the glass room and made that call about 3 hours before when we realized it was too cold and they accommodated it perfectly.

    Galleria Marchetti's reply:

    Hi Jenny!
    We wanted to send along a sincere thank you for taking the time to write this review! It was beyond our pleasure to be a part of this super special day!! Hope all is fabulous as newly weds, and you are enjoying your summer!!! It was great working with you, and even more amazing to see everything come together!!! Thank you for choosing Galleria Marchetti!!

    We love Galleria Marchetti!

    We loved our wedding at Galleria Marchetti. This is hands down the most beautiful venue in the city, and you don't even feel like you are in the city! The grounds are amazing and allow you to add unique touches to your ceremony--such as outdoor firepits & smores....or having your ceremony and cocktail hour in their beautiful outdoor space.

    Everything ran smoothly with Galleria and they were so easy to work with throughout the entire process! We also received so many compliments on the food served by Galleria, most people said it was the best wedding food they've ever had, which is a huge compliment to the chefs at Galleria as wedding food is usually not very memorable.

    You won't regret having your special day with Galleria Marchetti, it was magical for us!

    Galleria Marchetti's reply:

    Hi Jackie!
    Thank you for taking the time to write this super thoughtful review! It was beyond a pleasure to work with you on your BIG day! What a beautiful Celebration of Love, and we are still obsessing over the gorgeous photos posted on facebook!

    We cannot thank you enough for choosing Galleria Marchetti to celebrate this super special day for you & Matt! We wish you nothing but amazing things in your future! Congratulations Jackie & Matt!!!
    xoxo
    Warmest Regards,
    Galleria Marchetti

    We cannot say enough great things about working with GM. The venue speaks for itself- it's a beautiful sanctuary in the middle of the city hustle and bustle. Your venue sets the tone for what your wedding day will look and feel like and GM has this effortless beauty about it. Budget is always a concern when planning a wedding, but they were worth every penny to know exactly what we were getting. Something that was really important to us for our wedding was not having to worry about "dressing up" a venue. We were planning our wedding from San Francisco, and I didn't want to have an empty rental space to work from the bottom up. GM hit all of our desires and then some. They were even making improvements in the year leading up to our wedding, so I knew it would be perfect. The food was amazing, and they have so many unique options.

    Aside from the beautiful ambiance and delicious food, Natalie is the best part about GM. She was amazing throughout the whole process- I can't even begin to count the number of emails she answered. She is so flexible and helps you with all the venue details. Every space they have to offer is beautiful- you can't go wrong.

    I highly recommend Galleria Marchetti. We wanted to find a venue with an outdoor garden ceremony location that was still conveniently located within the city, which made Galleria Marchetti the obvious choice. We had perfect weather on our wedding day, but their rain backup location inside the pavilion was a beautiful alternative, so I didn't stress the week leading up to it. Great food was also a main priority for us, and the Galleria did not disappoint. Their hors-d'oeuvres were particularly outstanding--best I've ever had at a wedding. We also got late-night bites which guests loved. The staff was also easy to work with.

    You can see photos from our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception here: http://www.laura-fisher-photography.com/blog/heather-paul. If you like the photos, I’d also recommend all my other wedding vendors: Laura Fisher Photography, Pollen (flowers), Steracle Press (all printed materials), Arch Apothecary (hair & makeup), Toast & Jam (DJ), and Bittersweet (cake).

    I loved this venue from the first moment I saw it for our downtown Chicago wedding (ceremony and reception). We had roughly 200 people and it was a perfect spot. Natalie and Jordyn were responsive, accommodating, flexible, and just an all around pleasure to work with. We had some off and on rain the evening of our wedding and were unsure if we'd be able to have the ceremony outside. But they presented lots of options and in the end worked hard to get it in outside. Many guests mentioned how perfect and beautiful the setting was. I have absolutely no regrets about choosing Galleria Marchetti.

    My family and I are so pleased after my wedding at Galleria Marchetti in August of 2014. Throughout our planning, Jessica was always extremely responsive and a pleasure to work with. The food was delicious and the service at the wedding was excellent. The setting is a hidden gem in Chicago, especially with their recent renovations.

    Really exceeded my expectations, they provided a day-of coordinator which made everything very stress-free , she was fantastic as were the entire staff here. Guests all raved about the food too, and the service was wonderful and quick. I could not be more pleased!
