    West Loop, Near West Side

    What a cool place! I attended an all day work event here. As an attendee (and not as the planner)…read moreeverything seemed to be well staffed and to run efficiently. The space we were in had plenty of tables and chairs in addition to separate areas with lounge chairs gathered together off to the side. They provided easels and the tables had all sorts of creative touches for use - play dough, pipe cleaners, colored pencils, etc. There was coffee, water and snacks in our meeting space. Our group also had breakfast, a snack bar and lunch while we were there. All the food was good and I appreciated that real dishes, glasses/mugs and silverware were used rather than a bunch of wasteful plastic and paper. We had access to 3 half baths on our floor but could use others if needed. The bathrooms were all clean and well stocked with feminine hygiene products, lotion, mints, etc. The staff I interacted with were all friendly and polite. A lot of thought and effort went into making a comfortable and unique space. I hope our organization has more events at this space in the future.

    Catalyst Ranch really knows how to make planning an event as painless as possible! I reached out…read morevia the website to plan a work day event. Kira was FANTASTIC - very communicative and made the process very easy. You can tell that it's definitely not their first rodeo. LIFE IS TOO SHORT FOR SANDWICHES FOR WORK LUNCHES (unless they're Zingerman's or Katz Deli sandwiches) so I seriously can't say enough good things about the caterer they work with here. PHENOM. The food is really good - local sourced when they can. Because I had to solve for a few different food sensitivities, I ordered the following which was a hit with everyone! Roasted Chicken w/ Harissa GF, DF Sweet Potato-Chickpea Tajine VV, GF Cous Cous VV Mediterranean Salad VV, GF Pita Bread and Hummus V We also ordered desserts (so tasty!) and had a bar tender for an on-site happy hour, which was awesome as well. CR also went the extra mile to accommodate our requests such as having non-competitive product for the built-in snack breaks (which they honored and made a BEAUTIFUL snack basket!). We also shipped so many things in advanced and everything was there and in order! Lastly, the price is right here! It's such a good value for what you get here at CR. Would definitely host an event here again!

    We had our wedding at Firehouse Chicago with a guest list of ~50. Since we had a smaller crowd,…read moredidn't see ourselves needing a DJ, and wanting full control over music -- JPP was the right fit for us. JPP was one of the easiest vendors to work with, reliable, and professional. During the months leading up to the wedding we worked on our playlists using Spotify. We had a playlist for pre-ceremony, ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing. We also selected special songs (some with specific start times) for things like newlywed introductions and cake cutting. We initially emailed with Jeff, who always responded promptly. A couple weeks before the wedding, we got the email from JPP to fill in their document with our song details and from then on we communicated with Miguel over phone and text. We texted Miguel with last minute changes, which he confirmed promptly and executed perfectly on the wedding day. The speaker and mic set ups (indoor and outdoor) provided wonderful sound quality and never was there a bad squeak.

    Just Press Play Productions was fantastic! I was worried that creating our own playlists was going…read moreto be difficult, but it turned out to be such a fun experience for me and my fiancé! We were able to include all the songs that were special to us as a couple. Also, the sound quality was phenomenal! We had two separate rooms at the wedding venue, so we added the compact speaker to our package, and you could hear the music everywhere. Our MC for the night was Miguel, and he did a fantastic job positioning the speakers, adjusting the volume, making announcements, coordinating the speeches, and overall just making the night run smoothly! He checked in with me periodically to keep the events on time, and he was professional and easy to work with. Just Press Play Productions is one of the reasons our night was such a success, and I can't thank them enough!
