EVENTS
Searching for an event space that’s truly one-of-a-kind? Look no further than our 60,000-square-foot vintage Chicago warehouse. With its exposed brick walls, expansive windows, and rich wooden floors, this isn’t just a venue—it’s an experience. Add to that our eclectic collection of furniture and unique décor, and you’ve got the perfect backdrop to make your event unforgettable.
1ST FLOOR
The Courtyard & Outdoor Ceremony Space
CAPACITY: 200-250
Step into the charm of our enchanting courtyard, where the beauty of the outdoors comes alive. Surrounded by exposed brick and cascading ivy walls, your cocktail hour or outdoor wedding will feel nothing short of magical. For intimate ceremonies, our meticulously crafted arch—draped in lush greenery—transforms ‘I do’ into a stunning, nature-inspired moment you’ll never forget.
During cocktail hour, guests are invited to relax under the wisteria arbor and enjoy the tranquil sounds from our custom-made bathtub fountain.
Indoor Cocktail Party & Ceremony Space
CAPACITY: 175 seated, 250 standing
Walk down the aisle in vintage style. Wooden church pews, glittering chandeliers, and Greek columns frame the ceremony space, which is truly one-of-a-kind. The ceremony space also works well for meetings and presentations, set in theatre style. Add gorgeous vintage bars, endless pieces to entertain and interest guests, and you’ll easily have the event of the year!
Our first-floor cocktail space invites your guests to experience the timeless elegance of antique chandeliers and vintage lighting, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. Our eclectic seating areas provide comfort and style, ensuring that every visit is filled with delightful drinks, engaging conversation, and the opportunity to capture lasting memories.
2ND FLOOR
Reception Space
CAPACITY: 250 SEATED, with dance floor
Celebrate the night away in our reception space, where the warmth of wood floors, the character of exposed brick, and the elegance of vintage furniture create a stylish setting for your event. Want to feature your entertainment properly? We have two stages for bands, DJs, and – dare we suggest – impromptu dance-offs, ensuring your night is nothing short of spectacular.
Suite
CAPACITY: 60
We offer a three-room suite adjacent to the second floor space which can be used for a bridal party, for a corporate or non-profit event registration/check in, as a “green room” or volunteer space, or a VIP area.
Room 1 features a gigantic vintage Hollywood-style mirror, tasteful couches, and lovely wood panels for privacy.
Room 2 offers a getaway with just the right touches for a little relaxation time before (or even during) your event.
The two rooms adjoin a large common area.
Photo Shoots
Get creative! Our unique space offers the perfect backdrop for many types of photoshoots for engagement, family, corporate, Commercial and video/film.
You will have access to all three floors of our space as well as our outdoor courtyard, where the iconic CHICAGO sign is located.
