    Lovely hallway

    Kitchen Chicago is a really nice place. They have a shared kitchen that people can rent. I went to visit them recently because I head they have a nice space for a wedding. WELL ITS TRUE!! They are located in a really industrial area. SO when you pull up your all sorts of confused and not expecting what's inside. Its not much I can say but the price is budget friendly and the place looks great. Its defiantly a possibility. The only downside is I don't want me wedding in the same room as my reception unless the room is rearranged. But it has lots of possibilities

    We had our 'happy baby' welcoming party for our new daughter at Kitchen Chicago and couldn't have been happier. I had so many guests ask how we had found such a great venue, and I hope that they, too, give their party business to Kitchen Chicago. (I also hope to host future events there as well.) Alexis was super accommodating, and it was very convenient for me, with a newborn, to communicate 90% via email. The space itself is just very pretty with the big windows, hardwood floors, and big country-style tables. Because of this, we did very simple decorations and only to add pops of pink and red to go with our baby theme. Having use of one of the kitchens helped tremendously as we were able to easily keep the food warm and preparation out of the way. The fact that you can bring in your own food from a licensed place is also a huge bonus (as opposed to a required list). Despite all of the work that comes into throwing a party, Kitchen Chicago made it a bit easier by being flexible, accommodating, and just plain nice people all around. We had a funny occurrence in which a man in short-shorts walked through the party and when I stopped to ask him how we could help him, he said he was looking for the yoga instructor that was to lead the class next door. He seemed absolutely oblivious to the fact that we were in the middle of a private affair. No big deal; more humorous than anything. I think to avoid this, we should have made sure the back door and room where all of our purses/bags were was locked or monitored. Street parking was easy on a Saturday afternoon, just make sure you have balloons or a sign near the street/entrance directing your guests where to go.

    I got married at Kitchen Chicago in June of 2012. I liked the space right away since it was a loft/rustic style that I wasn't finding a lot of in Chicago for a decent price. Kitchen Chicago was definitely the best option for the price we found. They were pretty accommodating when it came to being there the day before to decorate and have a rehearsal as well. Best things about it: -reasonable price -easy parking -you can choose any vendors you want -you can make it easy inexpensive OR expensive as you want - you choose everything from the table rentals to the catering -beautiful space Things that could have improved: -when we arrived the day before the wedding (on Friday) to decorate, the floor was pretty dirty which they said would be clean- My dad ended up sweeping the entire floor -The coordinator was sometimes hard to get ahold of; and there were a few miscommunications along the way - although everything turned out fabulously in the end If you're wanting/willing to do alot of the "leg work" yourself (i.e. set up tables, all the decorations, tear down) this is a GREAT option!

    My husband and I got married at Kitchen Chicago in June 2013. I have nothing but positive things to say about the space and the staff. Everybody was overly helpful any questions that I had they reached out to me immediately and in the end our ceremony and reception were beautiful, our style and exactly what we are dreamed of. If you're looking for something unique, urban, and affordable Kitchen Chicago is the place for you.

    Kitchen Chicago is simply an amazing event space. I recently held my wedding reception there and people are still raving about it. Alexis (owner) is a dream to work with and our caters couldn't believe how nice the kitchen itself was. The loft area was amazing for dancing and the place is just beautiful and needs so little decorating.

    See all

    "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.
