We had our 130 person wedding at Artifact this past July and I can't say enough wonderful things…read moreabout our experience. We worked with Maya and she was responsive, helpful, and so kind. We ended up changing our flow of the day a couple times after deciding to do a buyout, and everyone was so understanding and flexible. We got to make wonderful use of the space, using both the north and south sides throughout the evening. They have great rain plans, TONS of room, clean, wonderful bathrooms. Day of was incredibly smooth and Maya worked fantastically with our wedding planner. We especially are grateful to Artifact's bar staff and night manager Pete, who took amazing care of us and our guests the entire night. We can't imagine having our day anywhere else - and our family and friends have been simply gushing about how beautiful the venue was. The light alone is insane - it just was the perfect dreamy, cozy, effortless venue that we cannot recommend more to prospective couples!

Friends and family aging from 15 years old to 70+ (my Dad) all had an amazing time! Trigger Chicago, our staff (from Carol's Staffing) and our booze selection (from Carly w/ Bottles & Cans) were outstanding!! Everything was Top tier... 10 out of 10, and highly recommended!

Last night, were lucky enough to visit Taven Club at 333. The beauty greets you before walking in. Gorgeous doors, lobby and elevators call out history, beauty and elegance. The history of the private club and now the woman who owns it is so fascinating. Years ago, the private club hosted many famous Chicago elite, such as, Frank Lloyd Wright, Carl Sandburg, William Wrigley and Mayor Richard Daly. Today, on a different floor, Erin Houlehen, with a background steeped in history, owns and operates the private club and event space. Sitting on the corner of the 4th floor, the views down Michigan Avenue, Wacker Drive and the Chicago River are impressive. Warm colors, various seating options and different rooms offer many comfortable options. The artwork presented around the space is mostly from Ms. Houlehen's private collection. They offer food and beverage options for members and events. On this occasion, we enjoyed charcuterie and cocktails expertly prepared by the professional bartender. Both the owner and bartender offered gracious and professional service. I highly recommend this space for a private event. If you are looking for a private club to join, this just might be your place!

The prices were also very reasonable, particularly for downtown Chicago, as we looked at numerous other locations that were all significantly more expensive. But what really sets it apart is that service and staff who run events are incredibly easy to work with. Thoughtful and accommodating from start to finish, Erin was exactly the type of professional that you hope to be able to coordinate events with. Couldn't recommend the space and service more strongly.

For sure there's a lot of museums in Chicago, with many of these focusing on countries and…read morecultures. If you're Greek or into Greek stuff, this is one to check out. The National Hellenic Museum is about the art and history of Greek culture and whatever. A pretty modern looking building that's small by most museum standard but big enough to spend a couple hours in. You can get in for an admission that's not that much to be honest, and learn about the culture and mythology. Appropriately enough it's located in Greektown. It's on Halsted at Van Buren, close to the UIC campus and Greek restaurants. There's enough inside to spend awhile like a few hours or so. It's $10 admission for adults. Museum is bigger than it looks. Good stuff inside. The first floor includes photography exhibits of Greek culture by local photographers. On the second floor was an exhibit on Greek coins commissioned by Alexander The Great. The third floor is about the experience of Greek immigration. At the top of the museum is a rooftop that hosts special events. This is usually closed but if it's open there's a nice view of the city skyline. Getting here is actually pretty convenient. It's located close to the CTA Blue Line. There's also many bus routes so it's very accessible to those who use public transportation.

Pam has an incredible eye for detail and an innate ability to turn a vision into something even more beautiful than you imagined! She was organized, responsive, and always ten steps ahead, coordinating every vendor flawlessly and ensuring we never had to worry about a thing! On our wedding day, Pam and her team made everything run so smoothly that we were able to be fully present and actually enjoy every moment. Beyond her professionalism, Pam is simply a joy to work with; warm, thoughtful, and deeply invested in making the day special. Our guests are still raving about how perfect everything was, and we owe so much of that to her!!

I wonder if that's the 'Ivy Room' of the namesake? We grabbed some drinks and enjoyed music, speeches and a special award. It's a nice space with seating, not just wicker chairs either but cushions! There were passed drinks and hor-durves, as well as friendly, helpful bartenders for those wanting beer, water or soda. One of us spilled something on a light-colored jacket, and they came to our rescue with seltzer and wipes. There was also a buffet with Spanish themed food (empanadas, paella) and small bite dessert bar. I asked about what had red meat/pork and thankfully I was dutifully informed. The caterers gave me and my party some leftovers! Not sure what prompted that but we appreciated it(we tipped even on free drinks). The missing star has to do with the wine. It was AWFUL! I tried to break it up with beer, but I got so sick the next day, I had to cancel my evening plans. I probably over indulged, but I have had more wine in one sitting with way fewer side effects. I may just stick with beer next time.
