We had the most incredible experience with City Hall Events as our wedding venue! The space itself is absolutely stunning – the perfect blend of Chicago charm with exposed brick and modern, elevated touches. It looked even more gorgeous than we could have imagined on our wedding day!

Halfway through planning, the venue coordinator we had originally been working with left, and Taylor stepped in – and from the moment she did, she knocked it out of the park. Her communication was clear and consistent, she was incredibly flexible, and we felt instantly at ease with her. Taylor paid attention to every single detail and made sure everything ran flawlessly right through the wedding day. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better partner throughout the process.

The bartenders were also fantastic – incredibly efficient and friendly. Despite having a packed dance floor all night, there was never a line at the bar. So many guests commented on how smooth and seamless everything felt.

We are so happy we chose City Hall Events for our big day. The venue, the team, and especially Taylor made the experience unforgettable. We would recommend City Hall to anyone considering it for their wedding or event – you will be in amazing hands.

We had our cocktail hour and wedding reception at City Hall Events and it was absolutely perfect! When looking for a wedding venue, the City Hall staff (Ashlei) were very responsive and helpful in answering questions. After touring the venue, we knew we had to move forward with it. The tall ceilings, exposed brick, and event space were stunning.

From then on, Ashlei made the process very seamless. We had a Polish American wedding and City Hall Events graciously allowed us to incorporate traditions that were important to us – and for that we are grateful.

On wedding day, the venue space looked like an absolute dream. The lighting, table set up, and marble bar were breathtaking. We loved standing at the top of the stairs and taking in the special moments of all of our guests having the best time celebrating.

We could not have picked a better venue. Thank you to Ashlei + team at City Hall Events for making our wedding day so special.

I’m going to start this review by saying never in a million years did I expect SO MANY PEOPLE to compliment us on our wedding venue choice. So many guests said they loved the space at City Hall for a variety of reasons – some for the loft vibe, some the pretty bar, some the staircase we walked down during wedding party intros, some the easy access to an afterparty space at Recess – everyone was really wowed by the space in different ways.

From the couples’ perspective, City Hall is a dream, as well! We had 130 guests and they fit in the space perfectly – enough people for it to feel full, with plenty of space left to dance. It is a blank slate so you can transform it however you’d like, but you can also add very little and it still looks beautiful with the large marble bar, pretty lights, and gorgeous floral mural.

We worked with Mandy, and she is incredible. So responsive, hilarious, and genuinely a joy to work with!! She recommended tons of vendors to us which made many potentially overwhelming decisions very easy. If you go with City Hall as your venue, we highly recommend taking Mandy’s recommendations as all the vendors we chose knew each other and had worked together, which made for a very seamless wedding day – and they all did a fantastic job.

On the day of our wedding, the space ended up looking truly magical. We were exhausted and Mandy materialized a bunch of cold brew for us as soon as we arrived at the venue after our ceremony. There were tons of appetizers waiting for us in the bridal suite which is nice and tucked away, and a great spot to go take a breather right after the ceremony while the guests are enjoying cocktail hour. There was never a line at the bar since it's so big, and the bartenders were great! One of them thanked me at the end of the night and told me how adorable our first dance was, which really put a smile on my face. And best of all, instead of ending the night at midnight when the reception was over, everyone who still had some party left in them got to walk right over to Recess, and we stayed almost until close! City Hall Events was really the perfect place to have the perfect wedding night.

Thank you to Mandy and everyone from City Hall for helping us make our dream wedding come true!! You truly went above and beyond to make it the perfect night.

xoxo Sabrina and Brendan O’Brien
