We were delighted to get married here a few years ago. The venue was lovely without breaking the bank. More importantly, we wanted to have OUR wedding; most places required we use their list of options, but Chicago Theater Works was happy to accommodate whatever we wanted, and help us out where asked. They provided staff to help things run smoothly, gave clear expectations at every step of the process, and facilitated what was an absolute blast of an event.

The absolute best venue out there!! We had the honor to host our wedding there and we couldn’t have asked for better. Dawn and the owner of the venue were incredible. So kind, welcoming, big hearted and just incredible people. Our day was unforgettable all thanks to them. The experience they gave us was one of a kind. We felt so important and taken care of. Dawn was very detailed with us and made every step of the wedding planning less stressful and super organized. We absolutely love this place and the people! ❤️

Lovely place for a fundraising gala, though the cocktails are not up to par. :(
