“Loft Lucia was an absolute dream venue for our wedding! From the moment we first toured the space, we knew it was the perfect fit. Rebecca, the general manager, was incredibly responsive, organized, and professional throughout the entire planning process. She provided great recommendations for other vendors to work with and really helped us bring our vision to life. The venue itself is so intimate and cozy, with beautiful natural lighting that made our photos look stunning. We loved being able to host our ceremony outdoors on the terrace - it was the perfect backdrop for our fall wedding. The reception space felt so warm and inviting for our 90 guests, with an authentic Chicago loft feel that was exactly what we were going for. Loft Lucia truly exceeded our expectations and we are so grateful to have celebrated our special day in such a beautiful space. Highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for an intimate, gorgeous setting for their wedding!”

“I can’t say enough positive things about my experience with Jessica, Dana, and the catering team at Halim Museum Events. I found them so easy to work with and it’s an event space that is unforgettable for your guests. Halim is lucky to have such wonderful employees! The space is what caught our eye, but the quick communication and hard work from Halim’s team is why we decided to get married in the Wisteria Room in April. We have received countless compliments on our venue and we couldn’t be more grateful to the Halim for hosting our beautiful wedding! Once again, major thank you to Dana, Jessica, and the awesome man in charge of catering. PS, they hosted our post wedding brunch at their associated hotel across the street. Just like the wedding, the food was delicious and the service was incredible. The last thing I will say, is if having delicious food is important for you on your wedding day, Halim Museum Events is the venue for you! We also received countless compliments on the food. Once again, thank you Halim for a seamless wedding.”
