While the size of the overall building provided more than enough room to ensure everyone had plenty spread out and party, each room felt like it held it's own little surprise and character. 10/10 would recommend this for anyone looking to plan a corporate or private event. Definitely, can't go wrong.

We attended a sangeet (Indian pre-wedding party) at Revel Motor Row and had a wonderful time. This…read moreis a versatile event venue with multiple spaces which can be used for a single event. We were shuttled here from the wedding hotel. The building is cool because it's historic - built in 1936. However, repurposed into an event venue, the interior spaces feel a bit more generic and industrial (typical). The spaces were decorated beautifully for this event. Cocktail hour took place in the Lobby and adjacent Mercer room. There were two bars - one in the Lobby and one in Mercer - and hors d'oeuvres. I don't know how many guests there were, but it was crowded and tight, especially in the Lobby. Dinner (self-serve buffets), dancing, and dessert took place in the Packard room. Again, pretty standard space repurposed for events. Decor, sound, lighting, food, and drink (more bars) were all great. There was even a liquid nitrogen ice cream station. To cool off during the reception (dancing), we went outside to the adjacent Cadillac Courtyard. Restrooms are located in the basement. They were spacious, clean, and even stylish.

There was no way I could get around to seeing everyone so I invited them to meet up with me at Room 43. Food and drinks, DJ are available and compliment the party atmosphere in a comfortable grown-up environment. The beauty of this space is that with the lighting, the music, the movable furniture, the choice of food, drink and decorations you get to create the ambience of your dreams at a more than reasonable cost. Photos below limit your perspective. You do not have to have the tables shown, you can choose the bar tables and chairs if you want more of a dance space presentation as I chose. Like I said there are many choices to make to suit your vision of the space. And further parking is available in lot across the street

Depending on how many guests you have you will be parking a tad bit farther down the street. Still if in the area you know how ridiculous parking prices are in the Chicago area. I did not have any interaction with the owners or rented the venue but did meet some of the staff who were very nice and helpful. They did a great job of checking people in and telling people the best places to park in case they run out of spaces in their parking lot. Clean facility and as an attendee this is a place I would consider renting out for an event. Not sure how the management is behind the scenes and that is a big factor but cannot honestly judge that portion.

We were recently wed at Bridgeport Art Center's Skyline Loft, which VL manages. Our experience was…read morevery positive! Our sales consultant, Gretchen, albeit a bit abrasive, was super responsive. Once we entered into a contract, the majority of our interface was with Kate who was awesome. The bar service at our event was fabulous - the service was seriously on point! Only constructive feedback we'd provide is around their client management cycle - we wish it was clearer to us sooner that she was our main point of contact - their transition of communication from Gretchen to Jim to Kate was slightly confusing. It also felt like the forms we had to fill out and send back were cumbersome and a repetitive, especially as compared to some of our other vendors, like our production company and photographer, where everything was electronic and super smooth.

They know the industry and their spaces inside and out and will bend over backwards to make sure events run as smoothly as possible.

Essentially, these are the pros you want responsible for the venue and bar service at your wedding/event. We always know we're in good hands when we work in one of their spaces and look forward to it every time.

The place is breathtaking, and ceilings are very high. Additionally, it is located close to Michigan avenue. With majority of our guests being out of town, this was a huge plus! Chez is a like a white canvas, you can make whatever you want of it. Due to the recommendations from our designers, we decided to use lights as our main form of décor, and it worked like a charm. Chez accommodated all of our needs and was one of the few places that was willing to be open till 2am if we needed it (we used it till 1am). The rental also included beautiful ghost chairs and large rectangular tables. The staircase provides a different touch from the rest of the places we saw, and we got to make a grand entrance walking down. The views from up there are also amazing as you can get a bird's eye view of the place. Lauren was of great help. She was very open to our ideas and always open to accommodate anything we needed. She also made herself and the place available whenever we needed to come by and see the place or show the place to our family and friends (which was a few times throughout the year). Her communications were prompt. She helped make our reception go smoothly.

We had a beautiful wedding day that we will cherish forever, but unfortunately, our experience with…read morethe venue and its management team was extremely disappointing. The venue itself is beautiful and has so much potential, but the lack of organization, communication, and professionalism made the planning process unnecessarily stressful. I would not recommend working with this team. Throughout the planning process, we found that the only way to get anything accomplished was to constantly follow up and hound the venue. Even then, things were often delayed, overlooked, or not completed as promised. The two business partners frequently seemed to be on completely different pages, and we received conflicting information depending on who we spoke with. We were specifically told that the room flip would take approximately 45 minutes. In reality, it took about an hour and a half. That delay pushed our entire wedding timeline back and resulted in additional costs because we had to extend the time for our photographer, videographer, and DJ. The space was also far too small for the number of guests we were told it could accommodate. The tables were placed so close together that guests could barely walk through the room, making the reception feel extremely cramped and uncomfortable. There were also issues with our personal wedding items. The venue damaged some of our decorator's decorations and failed to properly store our wedding cake in the refrigerator. These are not minor details when you are trusting a venue with expensive items and one of the most important days of your life. Perhaps most upsetting was how my mom was treated. After spending months having to repeatedly follow up to get things done, the venue coordinator referred to my mom as "PITA" -- "pain in the a**" -- simply because she was advocating for the wedding we were paying thousands of dollars to have. Expecting the venue to deliver what was promised and to execute the details correctly should not make a client a nuisance. To be clear, we had an amazing wedding day and will cherish it forever. Our family, friends, and vendors made sure of that. The venue is beautiful, and the day itself was special because of the people we surrounded ourselves with. But a beautiful space does not make up for poor organization, inconsistent communication, damaged property, mishandled wedding details, and a lack of professionalism. When couples spend thousands of dollars on their wedding venue, they should be able to expect competent coordination, clear communication, and respect. Unfortunately, that was not our experience. I strongly recommend couples considering this venue get every promise, timeline, capacity limit, responsibility, and detail in writing -- and be prepared to follow up repeatedly to ensure things actually happen.
