I planned my best friends wedding here in May, and it was an okay experience. Communication was a bit rough, but at the end of the day we made it work. They had switched coordinators from the venue twice, and then we had a completely different person in charge the day-of the wedding, which is a big no no for me. BUT, I am glad I was there for my friend throughout since I knew exactly how she wanted things done, set up, etc. The day of the wedding, I was allowed to access the venue at 12:00 PM, which was good for last minute prep since we were allowed access the day prior. They do allow you to have candles, but they have to be in water. In other words, they have to be floating candles. For the send off, they do allow sparklers which is AWESOME! But good luck trying to turn them on with that oh so delicious sea breeze that blows in the patio. Also, outside vendors are permitted, but have to provide the people in charge with their licenses (cake vendors, etc.) They do have a preferred vendors list, but I am sure they still allow other vendors to come in (friend signed her contract in 2014). I love the venue, the location, ample parking space, and lovely staff members. Will be back in November for another wedding, am looking forward to this set up!

My wedding was going according to the plan until the actual day. It took me almost a year to write…read morethis review, because it still breaks my heart to think about my wedding. We were provided 3 planners to help us with the coordination, but they did not do a good job. According to my family and guests, they didn't know where to put the gifts/envelopes during the reception. Also, when the guests left, some of them did not get their wedding favors, which was heartbreaking because I put a lot of thought into them. Overall, the guests were not coordinated properly, and were not directed clearly. There was a very unfortunate incident that happened: halfway through our reception, a power outage occurred. The venue had absolutely no back up for the power outage. With no electricity or AC, the wedding reception was ended earlier than anticipated time. The total reception was supposed to be 4 hours, but the power outage occurred 2 hours in. The venue made sure to point us to the contact, which stated that the venue was not responsible for a power outage. It is disappointing that they did not have any fan or any type of back up plan for a power outage. The wedding was in July and it was HOT. They ended up compensating about 10% of the total amount we paid (1 hour worth of event). Our guests were gracious enough to stay about an hour after the power outage occurred, but the venue counted that. This wasn't fair because one of the main reasons everyone stayed is that the venue led us to believe that the power might come back. It wasn't until we got confirmation from a police officer that the power was not coming back, that we seriously considered ending the event early. Aside from the compensation, I was disappointed and devastated in regards to the owners attitude and response to the incident. Yes, I got a small amount of money back, but I couldn't even utilize the photo booth, DJ, and music because of the loss of electricity. Thankfully, I hired the DJ to prepare a full backdrop of light, otherwise we would have sat in complete darkness. It was a good thing that I did not rely 100% on the wedding for lighting. I do want to say one good thing about Sara, my coordinator. I really appreciated Sara for all of her work. She was very flexible and tried to meet all of my needs. She was always available and remembered things that I needed and mentioned. If it wasn't for Sara, this venue would deserve 1 star. Due to Sara's hard work, I will give 2 stars. If it wasn't for incident and the venue's terrible service, this place would have been a decent place for a wedding.

I contacted Di Amici Upscale Events when planning for a "celebration of life" service. I needed a…read morequick turnaround time and someone to walk me through decisions while I was grieving. The owner, Paula, was so kind and generous through the entire process. She was always easy to get in touch with and is genuinely a kind person who cared about our experience. We appreciated the value and simplicity of a venue with a package that had so much included in the price. Paula and her crew were "all hands on deck" before, during, and after our event and we didn't have to lift a finger. She made the venue beautiful for our event and put our minds at ease. I would definitely recommend Di Amici Upscale Events!

This establishment is a very beautiful event space, the decor was lovely and the attention to…read moredetail by the owner and the designer were something unseen at most party halls. Pictures do no justice here... If I could give more stars I would because everyone, staff wise were awesome. I definitely would recommend this place because the designer made sure everyone felt welcomed here from the time you stepped foot at the door. You were greeted and walked inside to a member of the party. Those who came alone were escorted into the hall and sat at a table where they were quickly taken care of, bringing drinks and food for them. Very very nice service and attention to detail. Plenty of parking and security on hand. From the outside this place doesn't look like much but you will be surprised. If I needed to have an event I would certainly look at having it here at this venue. We were told that Open House for this venue will be on 10/22/23 from 1-5 pm For those that would like to check it out and spread the word... I loved it

I was part of a wedding recently and the reception was held here. We went to this place before the…read morewedding and the bride & groom were having issues with the coordinator or owner. They were told they could bring in their own alcohol, sodas and water. However, 4 days before the wedding they were told they couldn't bring water & sodas. The guest have to pay for them their!! The bride didn't want certain decorations, but the people said they weren't moving them!! The day of the reception it was very warm in the building and especially in the VIP room upstairs. I went outside to get my bag that had my change of clothes, phone charger, meds etc... I put 4 half drank bottles of water in my bag. When I entered the building a Hispanic woman approached me and asked me what was in my bag. I started to tell her and she grabbed my bag to look inside!! How rude!! She then said I couldn't bring in my water. I asked why. She told me I had to buy the water. I told her I wasn't buying any water when I have my own. I then took my water back to my car and returned to the building. That Gestopo woman came rushing up to me to look in my bag AGAIN!! I told her that I didn't have any water! I left it in my car. She grabbed my bag and started going through it! I told her "it's my clothes, my panties, my socks, my charger & meds!" She let go and said "It's policy." I walked off and went up stairs. I told the wedding party about her. I was so mad! Around 9:00pm several of us noticed it started getting hot inside. I thought it was me, but I saw other people fanning themselves. We all came to the conclusion that the people of the place turned up the ac. They made it so uncomfortable that people were leaving. The place was rented until 1:00am!! I left after 10:30pm. It was too hot in there for me!! Did you know that this place used to be a strip club? Sure did! LOL!! Don't rent this place out.

This warehouse venue is approximately 7000 square feet with a 250 max occupancy capacity and ample restrooms. This property sits off the Metro Green Line near the Cesar Chavez/67th station. Parking is located in the back with two empty lots, and off-street parking. Parking is tight, and can be dark as minimal lighting is provided. It's a newer venue so I sure they are improving. This is a great addition to the strip of businesses. Now turn up the music and enjoy yourself. Be responsible and don't drink and drive. Take the rail or Lyft/Uber is a great option.

I can promise yall these pictures isn't from my event. I made sure everything was is place like it was when we first entered the building. Now check this out we did more than we should have after the party. My mom cleaned all the bath rooms pulled all the trash we even ran a wet mop over the entire building. All we left was the trash can full of trash because we didn't know we're to take it. My mom wiped down all the furniture as well. I can assure that nothing was out of place. The building had roaches and my mom even put something down for the roaches to help them out. You going to tell me you not refunding me my money because of what? Your venue is clean. Oh I forgot to mention this picture were take inside of the storage room. Not inside of the venue but the storage room.
