Ravenswood Event Center

Ravenswood Event Center (REC) stands out as one of Chicago’s premier industrial urban loft wedding and event spaces. Since 2007, REC has pioneered a unique approach by combining on-site catering and event planning services in a fully renovated print warehouse. This model has since become a standard in Chicago’s competitive event market. By blending timeless service and style with modern, globally inspired menus and event experiences, REC continues to evolve and thrive, offering unforgettable settings for weddings, corporate events, and social gatherings.

The Billboard Factory Atrium and Loft spaces are quintessentially Chicago. The Atrium, once a workshop for billboard production, features sweeping views of the city, including the Hancock Tower, El, and Metra lines. With seating for up to 180 for ceremonies and 150+ for cocktail receptions, it provides a unique, urban-chic backdrop for weddings and events. The Loft, with its vintage pine and oak floors, exposed brick, and timber beams, exudes classic industrial charm. It accommodates up to 180 guests for seated dinners and 250 for cocktail-style events, making it perfect for farm-to-table weddings, brunches, and spirited receptions.

REC’s largest space, the Billboard Showroom, impresses with its dramatic skylights, ample square footage, and a stunning collection of vintage neon signs and classic sports cars. This versatile venue is a favorite for corporate conferences, exclusive presentations, and holiday events. Complementing these spaces is REC’s culinary team, inspired by Chicago’s vibrant food scene and global influences. They craft personalized, seasonal menus that reflect the city’s culinary excellence, ensuring every event is both familiar and delightfully unexpected.
