The Walden team was hands down the best team we could have ever worked with for our wedding! We could have never planned such an amazing event and weekend on our own. From the contracting process through planning to the wedding day, the planners and the extended Walden team (food, bar) were absolutely amazing to work with. The planners offered really amazing and insightful options and ideas for vendors and design/decor, and kept us on track with all the planning elements. They did not leave anything out! One of our favorite nights with the team was the tasting, where we brought out families to taste the food & drink options and see various linen, lighting and decor options. Not to mention, the space itself is beautiful! My bridesmaids and I got ready in the bridal suite which was perfect. We loved that the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception/dancing spaces were distinctly separate - no "flipping the room". 12/10 would recommend the Walden to anyone looking for a wedding venue!

Our wedding at Chicago Winery was just as beautiful and unique as we hoped. Hulda and Amy were amazing to work with, making sure that we could curate the evening to our exact needs. The ceremony space, terrace for cocktail hour, and reception space was big enough for our guest count but still kept an intimate vibe. Our guests couldn't stop complimenting the space, service, and food/drinks. If you're looking for a wedding venue that's modern, classy, and timeless venue - Chicago Winery is the venue to choose!

We recently had our wedding at Fairlie and it was a dream come true. We toured 13 venues and knew Fairlie was the one almost immediately after walking in. Andria is an absolute angel and a Godsend. Not only is she so kind, but she was instrumental in cultivating our perfect day. Referrals, ideas- you name it. I referenced the "Real Fun" album and their instagram non-stop for ideas and inspiration. What an incredible resource! The venue is beautiful. It always smells nice. The team is amazing. You can make it as cozy or as "big wedding" as you want! We went for giant dinner party vibes and even put up a gallery wall in the loft area. You can't go wrong at Fairlie!

Located in a 100 year old manufacturing plant in West Town, our space is the perfect blend of vintage industrial and modern sophistication — outfitted with fully integrated digital capabilities. Taking inspiration from turn of the century New Orleans, our sophisticated warehouse event space is infused with custom millwork and murals by local artisans bringing a highly curated and refined space to Chicago. With six oversized industrial skylights, you can imagine your ceremony taking place under beautiful natural light. Two separate spaces that combine into one via custom doorways allows you to avoid a room turn! Our included amenities allow you to focus more on the details that make your wedding unique and less on bringing in every piece from scratch. Included are custom wood chairs & tables, two bars, lounge furniture, digital integration, and bistro lights. A private suite with en-suite for the couple is included.

My husband and I booked The Arbory as our wedding venue. After seeing it last year, when it wasn't completed yet, and meeting with Allison, we felt confident that the venue was exactly what we were looking for! We worked with Allison ahead of the big day and she was easy to communicate with and even invited us back, after the venue was completed, so we could see it in person again. We also worked with Shay closer to the date and she was our venue manager on the day-of the wedding. I am so thrilled and happy we decided to book The Arbory, it is a beautiful venue, full of character, special & unique touches, and yet can still be fully customized to reflect each couple's personality. You can truly tell the team behind the venue understand events because they have crafted the venue so well. We didn't even have to do much with decor because they have so many awesome murals and living walls! The venue also provided a professional and wonderful security guard for our wedding, and we had plenty of street parking available too. We cannot recommend Allison, Shay and The Arbory enough! We have received so many compliments on how beautiful and perfect our venue was, and honestly, it is!

Lisa and her team are, hands down, the best group of people I have ever met and would hire them 100% again and again. Lisa ensured she understood what our vision was by asking thorough and detailed questions. She went above and beyond contacting our venue and all necessary vendors to make sure everything ran smoothly. If there was ever an issue, she solved it without worrying us. And the day of our wedding, several of our guests informed us how amazing her and her teams’ service, professionalism, and how invested she is… not to mention how delicious all the food was, requiring seconds and thirds!!! There aren’t enough words to explain how phenomenal Lisa and her team are and how if it weren’t for Lisa, we wouldn’t have had the wedding of our dreams come true.
