Trusted Venues in Chicago
Our top three venues and why they count.!
Loft Lucia
When it comes to luxury events in the heart of vibrant West Loop, we love the incomparable Loft Lucia. With a landscaped rooftop terrace and state-of-the-art kitchen, Loft Lucia offers a chic bright space for luxury events. Its refined, industrial-style design, high ceilings, and elegant ambiance make it perfect for upscale gatherings and intimate celebrations. Its a great medium-sized venue for 45 to 120 guests. Perfect for: weddings, micro-weddings, corporate holiday parties, and larger dinner celebrations.
RLM Studio
We have cooked countless times in the beautiful blue kitchen of the hidden gem that is RLM Studio in Irving Park. Women-owned and operated, this space is a warm and modern option for smaller experiences like micro-weddings, showers, engagement parties, and intimate private dining experiences. In addition to the beautiful space, RLM Events and Design provide all levels of event styling support. RLM is the perfect size for 10-40 guests.
Charcoal Factory Loft
Nestled down an alley in the warehouses of Lincoln Yards, this hidden, remarkable and artistic venue is the epitome of luxury industrial design. There’s nothing else like it in the city: an internationally acclaimed designer converted this incredible factory space into an American Institute of Architects award winning home - but they got so many inquires for photoshoots, film shoots, and events - that it became what it is today. They were committed to keeping the original aesthetic of the building and set off to preserve the fire brick and concrete walls, original factory windows and gorgeous timber beam floors and ceiling. Add one of a kind furnishing, art and soul, and voilà! Perfect for weddings and private events from 15 to 100, this space is creative, flexible, and unforgettable.
