    Chicago Winery is a standout venue that combines an upscale, intimate atmosphere with warm, professional service. It is a fantastic venue for couples who are looking for a modern, stylish space. Located right in the heart of Chicago, the space is beautifully designed—clean, contemporary, and inviting. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and easy to work with from start to finish. They truly made wedding planning a breeze. Chris Nehlsen was our event manager, and he was phenomenal throughout the entire process. He was so attentive, and I cannot imagine what our wedding day would have been without his attention to detail and careful planning. He was the true hero of the day when we had a mishap with the flowers, and he even amazed us the next day when one of our guests left something at the venue! Communication is clear and timely, and the team is organized and accommodating, which makes planning and day-of coordination feel smooth and stress-free. Their experience with weddings really shows in how seamlessly they manage the flow of the event, and think of every detail. The venue itself is versatile, with well-laid-out spaces that create an intimate, warm ceremony space, cocktail hour site, and wedding reception. Everything feels thoughtfully maintained, from the setup to the overall guest experience. Chicago Winery offers a polished yet approachable setting that feels distinctly Chicago. The in-house wine adds a unique touch, and we especially enjoyed their fantastic champagne. As huge fans of craft beer, Chris did an amazing job with helping us provide our guests with so many options! Our His & Her cocktails were a big hit as well. For the most part, the food was outstanding, but there were some dishes that were very heavy on the salt. Our favorite was the braised short-rib and the mac-and-cheese was a huge favorite for our guests! Overall, Chicago Winery is a reliable, high-quality vendor that delivers a professional experience and a memorable atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a stylish modern, urban venue with a strong service team for their wedding!

    Chicago Winery is prefect. Location, atmosphere, food, organization- literally made wedding planning breezy. The team behind the scenes knows how to throw a party everyone will enjoy. We worked with Jenn as our coordinator in house and she perfected out details, coordinated with vendors as needed, and made sure we enjoyed our night as the couple. I am thankful to have found Chicago Winery and would do it again in a heartbeat! It was truly amazing and we hope to be guests at a future wedding so we can see it from the flip side!

  • A Spectacular Experience

    We had our wedding at Chicago Winery in November 2025. I cannot say better things about our experience with the staff, venue, and feedback from our guests. Specifically, there are three things that make us highly recommend Chicago Winery to couples: Staff, Venue, Food & Beverage. Staff: The staff were all hands down incredible, and they made our day so special. Lindsey was the sales manager we worked with and was excellent throughout this process. Lindsey sold me early on in our search process because of the emphasis on removing all decision-making on the day of our wedding through good planning, having a strong staff to guest count ratio, and excellent event management staff. We worked with her until we were handed over to Chris, our event manager. Chris was spectacular and was imperative in assisting us through planning and executing. We fell behind in the wedding planning process, and he was excellent in the final months helping us get back on track. His knowledge and advice on questions and decisions we didn’t always have an answer to were a great guiding light to ensure we felt prepared for our wedding day. During the ceremony and reception, he was excellent at keeping everything moving on time while not making us feel rushed, which really allowed us to enjoy each moment. Venue: This venue is naturally beautiful and well setup for ceremony and reception onsite. The wood, lighting, arches, and ceiling centerpiece are stunning for the ceremony. We then transitioned to the four-seasons room for cocktail hour while the staff flipped the room for dinner. Between the ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner, Chris was great about hiding us away for 10 minutes at a time in the bridal suite with food and drinks always stocked in the room to keep us fed and enjoy quiet moments together. It was something that we did not realize how much we would appreciate. The four-seasons room was great in November with a high of 60 and low of 40. If the weather is better, it has the ability to have windows open which would be incredible for Summer and early Fall weddings. Food & Beverage: The cocktail hour hors d’oeuvres and table spread were all excellent. We had the top-shelf beverage package, and it was all excellent with plenty of different cocktails the bar staff could create. We asked for a Hugo Spritz and Sidecar as our specialty cocktails, and Chris got them coordinated even with it not being on their long list of options. Both cocktails were excellent. Another aspect we loved was dinner was served all at once to everyone with all mains and sides available. We upgraded one main to the Filet Mignon, and it was perfectly cooked medium rare every time. The entire staff was always excellent keeping my wife and I, along with all of our guests, well fed at all times with full water and drinks. I cannot highly recommend Chicago Winery enough to others for their wedding day. We felt our day was literally perfect, and it is because of the staff, especially Chris, that we will have those amazing memories for the rest of our lives. The feedback from our family and friends was spectacular.

  • Flawless Experience at Chicago Winery

    From the moment we were introduced to Chicago Winery, they truly lived up to their reputation for exceptional hospitality. We chose them because they promised to handle so many of the little details, and of course, you’re never sure until the actual day. But they absolutely delivered. They were transparent with all costs and fees, responsive to every email, worked closely with us throughout the planning process, and welcomed us for multiple walkthroughs before the big day. We didn’t hire a wedding planner or day-of coordinator, and honestly, we didn’t need one because the team made everything so effortless. Jenn, our assigned Event Manager, was incredible. She is organized, attentive, and truly kind. Jenn is an absolute pro at what she does and handled everything with such grace, including managing family dynamics seamlessly. The entire day ran flawlessly, and we couldn’t be happier with how smooth everything felt. We also received countless compliments on how beautiful the space was. It’s naturally warm and inviting, and doesn’t require as much décor as many other venues. The food was delicious—everyone loved the Butcher's Block and short rib. The venue serves entrées French style, which means guests enjoy generous portions and leave feeling truly satisfied. The staff was incredibly attentive, making sure we were always taken care of. Throughout the day, they would bring us water without us even asking, check in to see if we were hungry, and offer to bring us drinks. It truly made us feel so cared for. Choosing Chicago Winery as our venue was one of the best decisions we made. We’re so grateful for their professionalism, hospitality, and attention to detail in making our wedding day perfect!
