Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- This River North stunner is a true Art Deco masterpiece, thoughtfully restored by nationally regarded design team AvroKO. You might begin with a cozy welcome party in the speakeasy-inspired second floor lounge, mingling on the plush velvet couches with your nearest and dearest.
- For the big event, the Main Hall is a stunning pick, thanks to inlaid wood floors, custom chandeliers, and a gorgeous hand-painted skylight. The adjacent Atrium is outfitted with terrazzo floors, dramatic black-mirrored ceilings, and a jade bar perfect for serving craft libations.
- Their partnership with James Beard Award-winning Boka Restaurant Group ensures every bite is a delight. Their Michelin-starred culinary team handles everything from customized menus to a full beverage program, making this a truly luxurious all-inclusive experience.
