It lends itself well to events like bridal showers or smaller wedding receptions, though. Plus also, props to City Point Loft: You made me explore an area of the city I have never been to. I feel so worldly. I never come into this 'hood - the only time I have gotten off at Chinatown has been to eat delicious Chinese foods.

We had a sticky situation with our wedding last May that required us to switch venues at the last minute. Sandra was incredibly understanding. We were still able to use the house and have friends from overseas and out of state save money on their accommodations. The house and grounds are spacious and full of wonderful history. If you are looking for a unique place to have a reception or event, please do consider this space.

I only give three stars because I did not hold my event at this venue, but Sandra was extremely…read morepleasant and helpful while walking me through my options. Due to the location, there is plenty of parking and the venue allows parties to bring their own food. $1000 to reserve the space for I think 12 hours. You can also rent the venue for a whole day, which sounds great for a wedding.

The staff was super…read morefriendly and thorough, it's a gorgeous space, and the rooftop provided an amazing backdrop for our special day. Our guests LOVED the food provided by the on site catering team and they handled allergy restrictions super well (our entire wedding was gluten free beyond bread baskets provided on tables). Cocktails were hit or miss. Anything stirred turned out well but anything normally shaken (margarita, etc) our guests said they'd pass on next time. The team worked really well with our various vendors and the day went incredibly smoothly. Highly recommend this venue for a scenic Chicago wedding!

Finding the right venue is stressful enough so you'd always hope to have someone as kind as Scout! We hosted a pop-up for our small jewelry business, and it was perfect. This beautiful space can be used for more than weddings. The venue itself was the perfect size. The fact that we didn't have to bring our own tables or chairs is such a huge plus. And the fact that there's a huge free parking lot for the venue is enough to want to book the place. Beautiful interiors, comfortable temperature. Everyone loved it. I hope to do another event here!

First I had to ask the staff to provide water to all of my guest. Some of my guest asked for extra bread and they were told that they ran out of it. The food was horrible. Half of my guest received raw chicken, the beef was tough, the mashed potatoes were very dry there was no gravy for them and when I asked the staff for a knife for the meat they said they didn't have any. When I mentioned to the owner that I hope my guest didn't get sick because of the raw chicken all he said was that he hoped that they didn't get sick either. I wouldn't recommend this anyone. This was an awful overall experience!

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.

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.

It's a great space for hosting events. It's very spacious, therefore it can accommodate varying crowd sizes and allows flexibility for having different spaces for activities or displays.

Parking is typical west loop - NONE! LOL However if you go on a an off night like I did (Wednesday) you shouldn't have a problem. Other than that, if you don't valet near by, you'll be walking.

They were so kind to allow us to bring in our own centerpieces and our papel picado, which we carefully hung ourselves). From start to finish, the staff at Garden Manor were professional, attentive, and easy to work with. They always responded to our questions quickly, offered helpful advice during planning and contract signing, and made the process stress-free. The venue itself is beautiful--modern, spotless, and so elegant that it needs little to no extra decoration. Our guests loved it, and so did we! I would absolutely recommend The Garden Manor to any couple looking for a venue with excellent service and a stunning space.

How do I start with this one. It was a cluster if your looking for a simple summary of this fiasco…read morethat this horrible place pretended to disguise as a formal banquet hall. The incident started with a sweet 16 that my family booked there. First of all, the bill was why to high for just a hall with no food or decorations. Not even an open bar was offered for the $5,000.00 price tag. There was a young lady when we walked I who was asked to make sure that invites were in hand and that wasn't the case. I had to ask her twice during the night to continue to do her job. The next gross level of horrible service came from the bartenders who not only didn't know how to mix a drink, they were to check IDs that according to them is their policy. I know of at least 3 family members who are not 21 who got drinks. This was discovered after the end of the night when one of our aunt's called to let me know that her 19 year old was intoxicated. If you think this is the end, please read on. At the end of the night the banquet hall manager explained that the liquor that we had purchased,. Over $600 worth needed to be inventoried so we would be able to take back the rest of our spirits until Monday when the inventory was completed. Well, Monday comes around and more than half of the alcohol that was left over was magically gone. I mean, how doea this happen? I asked my aunt that night where in the contract this was written and she said that it was the agreement that she signed. I asked her again a couple of days later and she still was reluctant bro let me see it because I knew that this was a horrible way to do business. I ask that anyone looking for a banquet hall and you find yourself stumbling across this "gem", look elsewhere. The place is dated, the restrooms were not clean, the staff is very disorganized, and their practices are worst of all. There are way more options out there.
