They have nice glasses and a wine opener to us. The also sell some; the Cab we had was only $20 and was quite good. There were only 5 of us, plus chef. It was great since we all got to do more and hear better than with a normal larger group. Our Southern menu consisted of collard greens with pancetta, skillet jalapeno-cheddar cornbread, mustard potatoes with onions, and the most amazing flank steak + tomato chutney. Seriously, I'm still mentally drooling over this chutney! I can't wait to make it again! For dessert, lemon curd mousse. Delicious It was really nice to have our actual meal at a dinner table that was thoughtfully decorated and put together (versus in the kitchen around the stainless steel). We really had an amazing night and loved learning some new skills, recipes, and flavors. Looking forward to going back for a different menu!

We loved having our wedding at Floating World Gallery! There were so many things to like:…read more The venue itself is elegant and impressive all on its own. It is in a great location, with lots of small businesses around for guests to patronize before or after the wedding. The size was perfect for our ~110 person wedding. Allen, the venue manager, was great to work with (responds to emails within hours, not weeks). He makes wedding operations really easy with flexible load-in, load-out times. We also loved that we could choose the vendors we really wanted to be there on our special day, especially catering and bartending/alcohol. 10/10 would recommend for all Chicago couples!

A private tour will take you up the circular staircase and second lobby level. Hoping to tour on my next visit. There's a small Frank Lloyd Wright gift shop on the ground level. Space is available for private events. I hope those who work here in the businesses never lose appreciation of its beauty.

The space was beautiful, full of character, and had this welcoming energy we instantly connected with. Then we met Shay--and that completely sealed the deal. From the start, she was warm, down-to-earth, and so easy to talk to. We knew right away that this was where we wanted to celebrate our wedding and that we'd be in the best hands. Working with Shay was such a gift. She clearly cares so much about the couples she works with, and it shows in everything she does. She was thoughtful, incredibly organized, and genuinely invested in making sure our day went exactly how we envisioned it. She kept things moving behind the scenes without ever making it feel stressful, and somehow managed to make everything feel calm, seamless, and joyful from start to finish. One of the best parts was that Shay recommended nearly all of our vendors--and every single one was incredible. It was so clear she only refers people she trusts and knows will deliver. That made the entire planning process feel so much easier, and we felt completely supported every step of the way. We also really appreciated The Joinery's mission. Their commitment to sustainability and inclusiveness meant a lot to us--it felt really good to be celebrating in a space that aligned with our values and made all of our guests feel welcome. We also can't say enough good things about the whole experience. The venue was stunning, the Millhouse was the perfect place for our family to stay and get ready, and the drinks that Molly and her team served were a huge hit. Every little detail was thoughtful and beautifully done. We're so grateful we chose The Joinery for our wedding. It was everything we hoped for and more--and Shay played such a big part in making that happen. We honestly couldn't have asked for a better space, a better team, or a better experience. We love The Joinery & Shay!
