    Florist & Hound Design loves Celeste!

    Celeste is incredible! How many Chicago locations can offer all Celeste does? Not many! They have a magical rooftop space, a disco floor, and two other stunning spaces. The space speaks for itself. So, let me talk about the people behind the location. Their team is attentive to both clients and vendors. They make working at this location a dream for the vendors, which lets us (vendors) focus on making the clients dreams come true. This location is fun, elegant, modern, and a must book! The food and drinks are delightful as well. We love the team and I promise, you will too!

Indeed it is! Our Garden (4th floor) boasts a clear plexi glass permanent roof, with a removable north enclosure to create a partially outdoor space. The room is also heated and air conditioned, to manage all your Chicago weather needs.
The Garden can seat up to 60 guests for a seated dinner, and up to 60 guests for a ceremony. Please note, these capacities are without covid-19 reduced capacities, feel free to email us for up to date information!
Absoltuely! Many of our weddings utilize 2-3 floors. A typical setup and timeline is below! Guest Arrivals and Ceremony on the Garden Cocktail Hour on Deco Dinner on the Garden Dancing on DISCO
Beautifully! Many of our spaces were originally designed to be lounges; so our furniture lends itself beautifully for a "cocktail style" event, with passed cuisine, station cuisine, and more. If you'd prefer to host a larger event, a venue buyout is the way to go, accommdoting 400+ guests on 4 beautifully appointed yet independently vibed floors; the phrase "something for everybody" fits us well.
Not typically. if you have a few special bottles, we can add on a corkage fee, however we are a fully functional bar and restaurant, and handle majority of our events food and drinks.
No, our venue is fully insured.
Yes, each floor is wheelchair accessible.
We do not offer parking, most guests can find street parking, or park in one of the many river north garages that are within .5 - 1 block from our front door.
Every event is different, and we work to be as flexible and accommdoating as possible! Please inquire with specific details on your event and we'll build out a custom proposal for you!
