The team at Ivy Room gave me the wedding of my dreams. The venue itself is stunning, but the staff is magic. From printing off a speech at the last minute to being two steps ahead of everything we needed, the Ivy Room team makes dreams come true! Ill post pictures when I have them, but booking your wedding here is worth every penny.Thank you to the Ivy Room for giving me the best day ever!!!

The Ivy Room is better than anything I could have hoped and dreamed for, and the staff are amazing individuals! The venue itself is just gorgeous - we our wedding here in May 2021 and had our cocktail hour in the downstairs library / old club room and our dinner was outside in the courtyard. The whole team at Ivy Room made sure the setup of all my décor, flowers, and light fixtured went smoothly and was exactly what I was looking for. Throughout the whole process, Kiran was incredible, giving me suggestions and working through the multiple planning and re-planning needed (because of COVID). She always was fast to answer any questions I had and let me pop into the space a few times to take pictures or measurements of things. The food at Ivy Room is also AMAZING. Everyone still talks about it. We knew it was going to blow everyone away when the tasting was so good and my (now) husband and I couldnt stop talking about how good the food was. The selections where great, they were SOOO accommodating to a large number of dietary restrictions I and some of my guests had, and the food was cooked to perfection (the salmon in particular, because I feel that most restaurants overcook salmon, but Ivy Room nails it). The people are also amazing. As I mentioned, Kiran is a rockstar! Brittney, the operations manager, is also incredible!! She managed the whole operations of the venue, staff, set up flawlessly on our big day. I cant thank the team at Ivy Room enough for everything they did for us, it was such an amazing experience working with the team and getting to celebrate our wedding at The Ivy Room!

We had my daughters baby shower there. It was beautiful, the staff was amazing and so accommodating.The food for the brunch was delicious.

Stunning Venue, Amazing ExperienceThe vibe is so warm and welcoming from the minute you walk into the stunning courtyard and beautiful ballroom. Kiran Pinto and her staff are fantastic and we had the most memorable experience from our first visit to the day of our daughters wedding. Thank you Kiran and team for seeing to every detail big and small, and helping to make the day unforgettable!

Totally vibing on a Saturday night. we made a reservation for an afterparty with a party of 12-15 (actually almost 20 people) for 9:30pm and had a great lounge area. Great wine selections as well as a snack menu including kale salads, cheese and cold cut platters. Great DJ too with a nice selection of older RnB, funk and top 40s.

Went to a private event from ezCater here last week.Great space for any of your events. They had a nice Upper Floor Hall that was large and spacious for around 20 different caterers.Downstairs theres the bar and luxurious bathrooms and coat check.Had a great time you should check it out for your next event!

We had our wedding here in 2018 and they were amazing to work with. For the location as well as the quality of everything, you can’t beat the Ivy Room. They work with you to remain within your budget and make sure you’re getting what you want. The staff was amazing and attentive leading up to the day and on the day of. They really pay attention to the smallest details. The food was excellent. Our wedding could not have been better and we were so happy we chose the Ivy Room!

Family wedding- beautiful courtyard outside and inside was simple and elegant!!! Definitely a picture perfect location in the middle of downtown Chicago!!!

Great place to have the wedding of your dreams in Chicago. Chef Michael Bonner is one of the most talented and gifted chefs in the business. He goes above and beyond anyones expections with absolute class. He has helped educate cooking to all areas of Chicago and personally made our dreams come true as a charity when no one else was willing to help.

Some things I would like different

My partner and i got married here the beginning of September, it was amazing! Leslie was absolutely the best day-of coordinator. She helped button-up all the things we put off until the last minute and no doubt was the reason our wedding was perfection. The entire experience from the tasting to our wedding day was top notch.....the entire staff made us feel special. Worth every penny!! Beautiful venue!

Popular wedding venue!

The Ivy Room offers an attentive staff, adaptable space, and delicious food (thank you, Chef Leslie!) for a medium to large wedding. We got married in January and it went perfectly. Special shout outs to Leslie Fuller and Brittany Plfug for their hard work and excellent execution. From the moment we started planning it was a fun and an enjoyable experience. Our families and friends couldn’t stop talking about how wonderful the night was. When it came to us, I couldn’t have asked for anything else. They were so attentive to our needs and our parents as well – the attention to detail was impeccable. I would recommend Ivy Room to anyone getting married in Chicago.

I wish I could give 10 stars! The most beautiful venue with amazing food and incredibly attentive staff! Leslie was a dream to work with. She made planning a wedding here effortless.

I have been to a couple weddings here and both of them were beautiful and elegant. The indoor dining area is ideal for seating up to 150 guests with room for a dance floor as well. The outdoor area looks lovely as the walls are covered in Ivy and the rest of the ground is covered in a mix of different flowers and shrubs. The only issue that I have with the weddings here is that because it is in downtown Chicago, while outside there is a great possibility that you will hear an abundance of car horns during an outdoor ceremony. Great venue otherwise!

Where do I begin? I was married at the Ivy Room on Sunday, July 8th, 2018. We had a morning ceremony, followed by a cocktail reception and luncheon. It was amazing and I don’t even know if there are enough words to sing the praises of the venue, and especially to sing the praises of Leslie Fuller, our event manager. But first, I’d like to review a few key important elements of having an event at the Ivy Room.The food: Everything from start to finish was absolutely delicious. All of our guests, and I mean all of them, complimented how scrumptious the appetizers, lunch and dessert were, not to mention the lovely wines that were standard offerings at the Ivy Room. Several of our guests were in the restaurant business (one who has won a James Beard Award), and they all tipped their hats to quality of the food served. It was delicious! Please note that the kitchen at the Ivy Room is on site and the food is prepared there (this is not an insignificant detail).The venue: If you are lucky enough to have the beautiful weather we had that day, (80 degrees and sunny with low humidity) the courtyard at the Ivy Room is absolutely delightful and is a hidden gem in the city. Most of my guests had never heard of the Ivy Room, so when they entered from the street, they were amazed at the beauty of the courtyard and were so impressed with its serenity despite being located in the heart of River North. The rest of the Ivy Room’s facilities are equally as lovely: the downstairs cocktail area, bathrooms and main banquet room are well-appointed, tasteful and have an air of understated elegance. I can’t say enough about the venue as a whole—it’s a wonderful place to host an event.The staff: Since the Ivy Room’s staff is employed by the Ivy Room (they are not employed by a catering company), they are total professionals and it was clear that the venue is a well-oiled machine. Everything from start to finish flowed very smoothly and it was evident that the experienced staff had a lot to do with the seamless nature of the event. In addition, they are all very nice people and are incredibly attentive.Leslie Fuller: I can’t say enough about Leslie. She was absolutely amazing to work with you and I am so grateful to her that she made our day as special as it was. From the very beginning of our correspondence, she was totally attentive, accommodating and responsive. In addition, she worked with us to make sure that we were within our budget for all aspects of the day. We were very pleased with the final proposal that we signed and a lot had to do with Leslie working hard to meet our budgetary needs.In the months leading up to the wedding, I probably e-mailed Leslie 100+ times with different questions and not only were her responses incredibly speedy (sometimes she responded within minutes, even on weekends and late at night!), but her correspondence was always thorough and extremely pleasant even when I was asking the most trivial things. She is an expert in customer service and a true pleasure to work with. In fact, now that the wedding is over, I actually miss corresponding with her because she is so lovely! The Ivy Room is so lucky to have her on staff and you will be incredibly fortunate if you have the luck of working with her for your event.All in all, I can’t say enough about the Ivy Room. It’s a first-class venue and I highly recommend it for any type of event. You won’t be disappointed!

Very rustic and elegant venue for weddings photo shoots and other events. Recommend booking in the spring or summer as the space is hosted outdoors

I went to a wedding here and it was the best food at wedding I ever had. The staff was also ultra nice when I asked for a different main entry and ending up finishing two main entries because both were too delicious to be true. The venue is spacious with two floors which were convenient for different proceedings of the event. Excellent!

Beautiful place to have a wedding. Outdoor courtyard, hidden in the city. Shaded so not too hot in summer.

Fantastic and attentive staff, makes events there a breeze! In house sound and mic and great additions and the courtyard is a nice breather from the city

Great staff and a lovely place. Im sure its as expensive as hell, but I was there in a professional capacity for a private event. 5 stars would have been rated if the smell of ass didnt linger around the toilets....

I went to a wedding here a few weeks ago and it was a gorgeous venue. The staff was also very accommodating. The venue is not large, but for a small 80-100 person wedding guest list, it is perfect. That courtyard is dreamy.

Beautiful venue for a wedding! We really enjoyed our evening celebrating our friends love!

Amazingly beautiful space. A truly hidden gem for private functions. Attended a gala here and the service, ambiance, and food were perfect.

Beautiful quaint place. My cousin got married here and the staff was so friendly.

Food was delicious, venue and decorations gorgeous, and our planner and the whole team were organized and professional from beginning to end of our wedding. Hope to use this venue often.

Good area ...subtle decoration . .was here for an office Christmas party
