    From start to finish our experience at Chez Wedding Venue exceeded expectations. Mar and her team are amazing and provided exceptional level of service. Chez was the perfect backdrop to our wedding day.

    Chez is one of the coolest venues in the city! I'm an event planner in Chicago, and I've produced events at Chez over the past 10 years or so. Recently, they installed an entirely new sound system, full LED wall, and lighting. You have to see it to understand how impactful the changes are to the space! The lighting is incredible, and super affordable compared to bring in a separate lighting company to do the same quality of work. For my particular event, we had a Video DJ come in and supplemented the video content that the venue provided. But honestly, the venues video content is amazing. They have an entire catalog of different colors, patterns, animations, etc. i've previously done a bunch of weddings here, but after producing a recent birthday celebration, I was reminded that the space could be used for literally any type of event. It's a genuine blank canvas, and you can make it your own. Definitely worth checking out!

    Chez is a beautiful venue to host an event. I've attended several events here, and I have never been disappointed. It is very big, bright, and spacious. The 2 bathrooms are clean and modern. There is a big glass staircase and beautiful Chandelier. There is a parking garage about 3 minutes away, so find parking in advance since parking in that area can be difficult.

    Lovely event venue that photographs well and is like a big blank canvas to any party host. The only downside is that the acoustics in the room aren't the greatest--there's nothing there to soften the sound, so it's big, open, echo-ey and potentially very loud space. Otherwise, the venue is beautifully presented and is certainly malleable enough to host just about any function. This was also the site of the famous Chez Paree supper club. I spent quite a bit of time researching it while at the venue and wish that the venue would play up that history a bit more--it would certainly spark the interest of individuals who are passionate about this fun part of Chicago history.

    We began planning our wedding before we were even engaged (thankfully I had a then boyfriend who understood my reasoning why I couldn't be going to grad school, working full-time AND be engaged all at once, haha). Naturally, the very first step in our wedding planning process after deciding that we wanted a New Year's Eve wedding was securing a venue, where we could have a ceremony and reception, and throw a huge party. We looked at Chez right after they opened in late spring 2014, before they had even had a wedding yet. Firstly, we were extremely impressed with the space itself. It's a large, all-white lofted space with a beautifully modern chandelier at the entrance and an impressive glass staircase. It was essentially a blank canvas for us to do as we pleased. There was a coat room (important for a winter wedding), an elevator from the street level for vendors and disabled or elderly guests to use (it's on the 2nd floor), a "getting ready" bridal room, and lots of bathroom space. After checking out a couple other venues, the beautiful space, location in the heart of downtown Chicago and the staff at Chez led us to book the space a year and a half out from our wedding. During the wedding planning process, our contact at Chez was responsive, informative and helpful. One example is that two weeks before the wedding, Chez made an announcement that they were getting in chairs and tables that everyone that booked a wedding for 1/1/16 or after would get to now use at no cost. Since we were spending thousands to outfit the space with these items, and since we were one day from the cutoff, I asked whether we could also use the chairs/tables at no cost. With no hesitation, we were allowed to use the chairs; however, all the tables were not delivered in time for us to use. We were very happy with the last minute savings, nevertheless. Our wedding materialized in the space exactly as we had hoped! We would not hesitate to recommend Chez for any couple looking for a contemporary loft space with lots of potential for personal touches. Do note though that if you're planning to have your ceremony and reception there, you will likely have to rent pipe-and-drape to divide the ceremony/reception space and cocktail hour and to hide the tables during the ceremony. We knew we would have to do this, but we had no idea just how expensive it was going to be.
