“The Builders BLDG was our perfect wedding venue! Chicago is home to both me and my husband and we knew we wanted our wedding day reflect a classic Chicago wedding, and the builders BLDG was just that. The venue space is ornate and the tall atrium and grand staircase provide the perfect wow factor. It’s in the heart of the city located right off the river, and is so close to many hotel options and photo locations. The food was definitely a highlight. We received so many compliments on our food and months later we still hear compliments, particularly the filet mignon. The team was easy to work with and answered all my questions timely and were supportive during the entire process. Me and husband loved our wedding day and have to thank the Builders BLDG for being such a crucial part in our day.”
