“Booked a brunch-time slot for our baby shower and Kim, was more than accommodating. She was super helpful and very easy to work with! We had roughly 100 people there and although it was a little tight, we enjoyed the intimate feeling of the venue.”

“Our wedding day & the planning leading up to it was absolutely perfect and we can't thank the Chicago Winery staff (especially our event manager Hulda!) enough for making our wedding come to life exactly as we dreamed it. The venue is gorgeous, our guests raved about the food/appetizers/cocktails/etc. and it is truly a night we will never forget. Being able to go outside to the cocktail hour terrace was also a huge plus to get people moving around and seeing new parts of the venue while the Chicago Winery staff transformed the whole space from ceremony to reception. We worked with Amy right after booking the space and she was so helpful in being a resource for us to bounce questions off of as we began planning. We utilized a lot of the preferred vendors (florist, DJ, etc.) that Chicago Winery recommended and they did not disappoint. Our event manager, Hulda, was soooooo helpful throughout the last 6 months of preparations and as our day-of manager - we could not have done it without her. She made sure the whole day was perfect and everything timeline-wise lined up exactly as we envisioned it. Can't recommend Chicago Winery enough! 1000000/10”

“City Winery Chicago was a fantastic venue for a friend and client's wedding! The team there was incredibly responsive, providing quick, detailed, and enthusiastic communication throughout the planning process. The space itself has a wonderful rustic industrial vibe that perfectly blends European winery charm. The team went above and beyond to ensure a great experience not just for our guests, but for the vendors as well. The vendor meals were delicious, and the overall atmosphere was warm and inviting.

“We wanted a more casual wedding and pinstripes was perfect for that. The weather was perfect so we were able to have our ceremony outside on the patio and that area was perfect for the pictures! We had bowling during cocktail hour which our guests loved. The food was incredible and they did a great job managing our cake, decor, and everything we dropped off. The whole staff was so easy to work with and all of the meetings went so smooth.”
