    If you love open raw spaces this Chicago west loop loft is for you. Multiple floors and can hold 200 easily. Awesome wedding venue. -Yale Reardon

    We selected City View Loft/ Kitchen Chicago for our wedding on 11/17/18, and it was the absolute best decision we could have made! When searching for a venue, we immediately decided to book after the initial walkthrough. The space is modern, urban, open and airy. Upstairs has an incredible view of the cityscape! The entire team we worked with was incredibly accommodating. All chairs, tables and tea light candles were included. We were able to drop off our stuff prior to the wedding a day early, which was so helpful! The food (LM Catering) was incredible as well. We are still getting complements on how amazing the meal was. We received so many compliments from our guests about how amazing the space is and how perfect it was for the entire wedding. The team worked seamlessly with all of our vendors, and if there were any issues, our guests and we had no idea! A huge thanks to Gabi for helping us throughout the wedding planning process. We couldn't be more pleased with our experience. We're so happy we chose this venue, and would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a great venue in the city! Photo Credit: Maypole Studios

    CVL was a perfect choice for our June 29th wedding. Everything from the food (LM Catering), to the staff (shout out to Jamie and Gabi) and the gorgeous city views made our day exceed expectations. My husband and I highly recommend the venue to anyone that is looking for a unique, re-purposed space with tons of history and an urban vibe. The elevators can be a bit slow, but is understandable for a building of this age. Additionally, there are two bathrooms on each floor, but wasn't a problem with our smaller wedding of 100 people. Parking is plentiful and the neighborhood / location was fantastic. Photo Credits: Joelle Elizabeth Photography

    We were married at City View Loft on August 31, 2018. I always wanted to have a destination wedding and since my husband is originally from one of my favorite cities, Chicago, we decided to have our wedding there. I am not the kind of woman who had every detail of my wedding mapped out but I knew I wanted a venue that reflected our sensibilities. City View Loft was exactly what I envisioned because it was the perfect mix of cool, urban, sophistication and even without decor, it's such a bright and beautiful space. We had our ceremony and reception there which made everything so manageable and allowed us more time to spend with our family and friends, many of whom flew in from out of town. Jamie and Gabi were wonderful to work with from the very beginning. They are knowledgeable, responsive, and clearly well-regarded by the vendors they partner with; they truly made our wedding planning process easier to navigate. I made what could have been a critical error related to my flowers and decor. This was completely my fault but they worked with our event designer and our amazing wedding coordinator to bring everything together less than two days before the wedding. I am eternally grateful for all that they did to make our day so incredibly special for us and our guests. On a practical note, we found City View Loft to be reasonably priced considering the quality of the food (it was delicious) their exceptional team and staff, and the sheer loveliness of the space. I am still marveling at how everything came together so beautifully.

    I attended a wedding here and the venue was large enough to hold 200. Decent space in a cool part of Chicago.

    "It's just like Harry Potter," they told me, but I had only seen one Harry Potter movie and read…read morenone of the books. The truth of the statement revealed itself as vaunted ceilings gave this cavernous room an aura of grandeur and the feeling of tradition. There were beings engaged in erudite studies with an inflexible concentration on laptops, notebooks, and in the back were old men going back and forth on the chessboards. It was still and had the eerie silence of a church chapel and sunbeams flowed in from the windows above. What an alien universe and there I was with a large foil tin carrying thirty of the best chicken wings Chicago had to offer. After the religious pilgrimage to Wings Around the World, Reuben H and Aurore L had the good sense to take us all to Reynolds where we wouldn't be bothered and be allowed to worship our wings in peace. For the moment, Reuben went to fetch pop while Aurore went off as well. I was alone and a heretic - a trespasser sneaking in and using up space that I had no right to, but the chess players were very old and had no business being there either. Then it came to me that everyone was allowed in and Reynolds was there for all to share, no identification required! Lined on the walls are large portraits showing various trustees of the University of Chicago. Lists of past Presidents line the wall and the fashion progression from long beards and robes to finely made designer suits and shaved faces led us to mock one portrait - he definitely wanted some of our chicken wings! We cracked open our wings and uncapped our pops only to find that the Cherry Pepsi was expired! While we munched and crunched on our chicken wings, nary a soul turned their heads nor noticed what fine dining we were helping ourselves to. The unbending concentration of the other people in the hall sustained itself except for the old chess players who all got up and went out for a smoke. We ate undisturbed and worked to get rid of the evidence. On our way out a young college student declared that he was going to have to retake high school chemistry. We laughed about it and then I thought that they were right - It really was just like Harry Potter!

It was on our list of wedding venues to tour--we arrived, and immediately fell in love. The staff was extremely professional and worked efficiently throughout the process. They answered every single question, and accommodated us when annotating the contract, helping us schedule and track payments, preparing the timeline for the day of, and helped us figure out a LOT of last minute changes. They offered a time for a walk through and assistance with setup the day before, which made the day of the wedding so much less stressful. They take care of EVERYTHING; set up, tear down, linens, place settings, table numbers, water, wine, changing courses, bridal suite, the bar, you name it! We just had to walk in and enjoy. The food was restaurant-quality - no banquet halls here! Many people emphatically said that was the best food they had ever had at a wedding. The menu tasting was a wonderful experience guided by the Chief of Staff, and included a personal visit from the chef near the end. There are many great food and wine options, it was hard to limit ourselves to just a few! The staff was very helpful in accommodating our guests with dietary restrictions and allergies; if one of the food choices would not work, they created a special alternative dish for them at no extra charge. They were so organized, they even remembered to not drizzle honey on one of our guest's dessert. I checked with every single one of our guests who needed an accommodation, and every single one was fulfilled. We even had a guest who was arriving late; his food was kept warm and brought out immediately when he arrived. As the bride and groom, we got to sit at the head table with our personal Head Waiter, Justin, who was awesome. He made sure our water and wine glasses were always full, and would personally deliver them to us throughout the night whether we were chatting at a table or in the middle of the dance floor. He said he was there if we needed anything, and he always jumped in to help with a smile. Our guests repeatedly told us how beautiful, elegant, and classy the venue was. The Tiffany Room and first floor galleries were the perfect setup for cocktail hour, and everyone loved the gorgeous glasswork (and open bar). The Wisteria room, bathed in candlelight, with a view of the Chicago Skyline, was perfect for dinner and dancing. The staff was professional and helpful, and the entire event ran smoothly. We specifically wanted a venue that would "do it all" so we didn't have to, and Halim Time and Glass Museum absolutely delivered. We treasure the experience we had on our special day and thank Jessica and all of the staff for making it the perfect experience.
