We celebrated our 70th birthdays and our wedding in May 2025. Our guests loved the venue (we were downstairs) and Zhou B worked with each of our vendors seamlessly from start to finish. Terrific support from Marcy throughout the planning process and her colleagues for the day of the event itself. We had approximately 120 attendees and the space worked well for a group of that size. No hesitation in recommending Zhou B as an event space and it's more appealing than the usual hotel, restaurant, or museum options. BTW, it was also nice to have ample parking for our in-town guests.

My husband and I just celebrated our wedding reception at the Field and it was beyond anything I could have dreamed. Peyton and every single Field staff member were amazing to work with. The Field works with the most remarkable vendors in the city and every minute detail is considered and covered. The museum has been a special place for my husband and I. For us to have had our reception there was a dream come true. There is no other space in the city like it! Our guests had a ball being able to explore the exhibits and grounds of the museum. It wasn’t just a reception, it was the experience of a lifetime!

We absolutely loved getting married at Loft Lucia on Saturday, July 27th! We had our ceremony and reception on-site inside and our cocktail hour upstairs on the rooftop for 70 guests. The space is incredible and is gorgeous in both the daylight, with tons of natural light, and at night (the lighting was perfect with just candles)! Rebecca and the Loft Lucia team made the entire process easy, and were very responsive and always extremely helpful. We are so happy with our decision and could not recommend Loft Lucia more!

Pinstripes Oak Brook was the perfect venue for our wedding! From the beginning, their communication was excellent and efficient, making the planning process a breeze. The venue itself has a truly unique, spacious vibe - we loved the indoor/outdoor feel and the cozy firepit. They were incredibly accommodating, allowing us to do our own sweets table and include our specific liquor requests. The quality of their work and overall value was exceptional. Our guests raved about the experience, and we couldn't be happier with how our special day turned out at Pinstripes Oak Brook.
