“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 have been to The Fleur De Lis for two events and both have been wonderful. It is a very cozy yet modern and classy atmosphere. The venue is so beautiful you may feel you don’t need to spend as much on your own decorating for the event. There is plenty of spacious room for seating and food tables. Plus it is at a great location and very convenient. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone for a small to a large gathering.”
