    This review is a year overdue. A complete departure from the usual banquet hall, the Floating World Gallery was our first stop while searching for a venue. Initially, my husband did not understand my intimate art gallery wedding vision but once he saw the space he was sold. No other galleries compared. Located in Lincoln Park, FWG is close to Downtown. Mr. Allen Nichols (Event Manager Extraordinaire) was a dream to work with and a respite from the stress of dealing with my other vendors. Allen was attentive, insightful, thoughtful, professional, flexible and accomodating. Allen is a true asset to the FWG staff. My ideas were my own and they (mostly) came to fruition on my wedding day. One year later, my guests are STILL raving about the venue and how beautiful it was. Above all, my husband has memories he won't soon forget: Me walking down the aisle past the art Canvas photos of us during our courtship on display He and his groomsmen on the patio smoking cigars Cocktail hour in the glass brick room Violinist playing during pre-ceremony 1st dance with my husband (with a broken foot) Of all the vendors, my venue was the best! I highly recommend the Floating World Gallery for your next celebration. Allen, you are find!!!

    I had my wedding at floating world gallery and it was amazing. Allen was great to work with and very professional. They gave us a lot of flexibility with the venue. They allowed us to bring in our own caterer and alcohol, not through predetermined vendors. They were also flexible with timing of setting up and taking down the decorations and tables. The venue was very beautiful, unique, and modern. It was perfect. I did take away one star because the air conditioning was broken for the back room (in August). They were installing a new HVAC system right before my wedding and it unfortunately brown down. My guests were drenched in sweat by the end of the night. However, the owner felt so bad that he gave me a 10% discount from the fee. Very stand up guys. I would highly recommend FW.

    We held our wedding at FWG this past October and it was perfect! The location is easily accessible and the layout allows you to have everything in one place. While you could easily create a lavish event, we kept things simple by using the provided tables and chairs, some rented uplighting, and a few DIY touches to create a fun, cat and Chicago-themed event. Our guests loved it and kept coming up to ask us, "How did you find this place???" Allen was a godsend when it came to planning and helped us ask the right questions or our vendors. He helped organize the drop offs for alcohol and gave us extra time to pick things up after the weekend. Karen kept things moving the night of the event and was also a pleasure to work with. We can't say enough good things about this beautiful location or the wonderful staff. Thank you!

    I cannot recommend Floating World Gallery enough for your wedding or next event. We got married at Floating World Gallery this past weekend and it was perfect. Guests commented on how lovely the venue was. Allen Nichols was absolutely amazing to work with. He answered all of our random questions about the venue that came up along the way and was so prompt and friendly. Allen let us drop by a few times to see the venue. The week of there was no other event going on so he let us drop stuff off and set up early. He even offered to hang this beautiful tool backdrop that looked awesome. He also recommended some excellent vendors. What we also loved about Floating World Gallery is that you can bring your own vendors in allowing you to truly customize your wedding. We hired Carol's Event Staffing to bartend and assist with cleanup. Carol's also flawlessly executed the ceremony to dinner room flip during cocktail hour. The venue was beautiful and perfect for an intimate wedding. Thank you again so much for everything Allen and everyone at Floating World Gallery! We will never forget how great you were!

    Interesting layout and concept. Not what I expected. Worth checking out when you have time. Probably geared more towards creative adult side

    FIVE STARS! After visiting a handful of venues, the moment we stepped into The Joinery, it just…read morefelt right. 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!
