I booked GHL for my wedding on 11/2/19. Overall I loved it - the space is absolutely beautiful - we bought the candle package which looked stunning at night. The set up was exactly what we asked for and they worked really well with all the vendors, specifically our caterer, Big Delicious Planet. Ownership of GHL changed midway through the planning process/after we booked - the new owner did a ton of upgrades to the space (new DJ booth, sound system, bridal suite and photo booth) - we got all these perks for free, which was amazing. They also let us come early on the day of to take some of the wedding party and family photos- we had planned to take these outside but it was too cold and they were super flexible/accommodating with us.My only 2 issues were - first, our point person from the venue was really kind, but ended up having emergency dental surgery 2 weeks before our date. While this was obviously unplanned no one from the venue reached out to let us know so I just stopped getting responses from her in the 2 weeks before the date. I would just recommend they have a back up plan for these situations to at least let people know.And second, on the night of there was an issue with the GHL microphone. My mom made a speech and my husband sang a song with the mariachi band and the mic kept dropping in and out, which was pretty distracting/took away from the speech/song. The DJ approached us, apologizing profusely, and let us know the venue had not let him use his own mic. After the issue the DJ replaced the mic with his own and everything was fine the rest of the night. But no one from GHL approached us about it or ever apologized for the issue. Definitely recommend using the DJs equipment instead of GHL. More...

My husband and I got married here in July 2019, and it was beautiful and easy. We booked about ten months out for a Friday wedding. Day of, the space was absolutely gorgeous (no decor really needed) and just what we were looking for--something with outdoor space that still felt like Chicago. We knew we wanted to get married outside, and the green space did not disappoint! I highly recommend the candle package because they were beyond beautiful. Our vendor, Hearty Boys, which we found through GHL was fantastic. The only hiccups we had dealt with GHL team. I'm not sure if it's because of the transition in ownership this summer, but we talked to different people from GHL each time we reached out, leaving us feel like no one was in charge of the space for our wedding date. To me, it would make sense to have one person in charge of each event as a point person. The day of, the GHL representative working told my husband that we needed to take our arch home that night. In my opinion, something like that needed to be discussed much earlier so we could make arrangements, not on our wedding night (because who wants to deal with that?). Luckily, my dad handled it. Then, they were very adamant about picking up the rest of our belongings only on one day of the week, the day we were leaving for our honeymoon. When I tried to schedule a time to get our stuff that morning, there was no response. We went, and no one was there. My mom ending up having to go because we left for our trip, and there was nothing to pick up... I don't know where all of our vases went, but in the end, it was only $120 worth of stuff. I wish they were more organized and communicative, but I realize that changing ownership mid-wedding season is probably pretty hectic. More...

Beautiful location. Very accessible off the expressway. Ample free parking. But the best parts: Exquisite decor, excellent bar, and waitstaff. and THE FOOD! - Was here for a wedding two weeks ago. The braised short ribs were out of this world. Fabulous location for a wedding, or any celebration for that matter. Classy, stylish, and a lovely outdoor space which is perfect for mingling and cocktails before dinner. Thoroughly enjoyed the evening, in no small part because of the locale. Highly recommend.

Greenhouse Lofts: Stunning, stubborn, and smile STUNNING As you can see from photos the greenhouse Lofts which is absolutely beautiful. At first we thought it was weird that you had to go up an escalator after walking into what looked like a strip mall to get to the room but it’s totally worth it for the lofty venue, the gorgeous greenery, and the nice courtyard - which was our main selling point compared to other locations. We were able to have guests in the courtyard while we flipped the venue from wedding to reception and it worked out perfectly. Our southern guests were a little chilly but they survived. STUBBORN: We worked with a few contacts over the course of 1.5 years of planning at greenhouse and for the most part they were just stubborn. Sometime terse or slow to respond or unwilling to work together on things such as questions about layouts, band locations, lighting availability, etc. It all worked out in the end but about once a month my husband and I would be cursing when opening emails from the Greenhouse Lofts contact. PHOTO BOOTH One of the absolute best things about our wedding was the giant room of a photo booth offered at greenhouse Lofts. We skipped the cheesy hipster props and made our own custom props. The guy running the booth (who also owns the venue) was very grumpy but his photos turned out great. The guests loved being able to walk out with a printed photo and it was certainly worth the investment. The photo booth is expensive but WORTH EVERY PENNY and it captures your guests in their own time so it’s different than what your Photog will capture. Do it. Thank us later. PS yes that’s a drag queen with us in the photo booth. More...

We decided to go with Greenhouse Loft for our wedding in June 2018 because it had the perfect combination in indoor and outdoor space we were looking for in the city. We had the dinner and dancing inside and the wedding ceremony and cocktails outside.The one thing that worried us about the outdoor space was the trains going by, but it wasn't as big a deal as the when the actual ceremony was going on as the trains go by very fast. Our ceremony was close to an hour (Indian wedding). We would highly recommend the candle package as it adds a beautiful romantic touch in the nightIn the end, GHL was a wonderful location, the right place for our party of about 100 guests, conveniently located in the city and a beautiful indoor and outdoor space. Perfect for our wedding! More...

We selected Greenhouse Loft for our wedding on 9/8/18, and it was the absolute best decision we could have made! GHL is the only space that we looked at when we were searching for a venue, and we immediately decided to book after the initial walkthrough. The space is modern, urban, open and airy. The glass walls surrounding the venue allow in tons of natural light, and look out directly into the beautiful courtyard that we used for our cocktail hour. This venue is also Platinum LEED Certified, and we so appreciated their commitment to sustainability, both in how they operate (composting, recycling, etc.) and the vendors they recommended. The entire team we worked with was incredibly accommodating. We have odd work schedules, so they allowed our final walkthrough to be done early. All chairs and tables were included, and they also provided easels for our signage at no additional cost. We were able to drop off our stuff prior to the wedding a day early, which was incredibly helpful! Rain was in the forecast for our big day, and they were great about putting together a full Plan B (which we fortunately did not need, but appreciated that it was in place)! When booking, definitely add on the candle package...the candles provided an incredible glow in the room that added to the beauty of the space. We received so many compliments from our guests about how amazing the space is and how perfect it was for the entire wedding. The team worked seamlessly with all of our vendors, and if there were any issues, we and our guests had no idea!

If I could, I'd give it 4.5.  When my son and now daughter-in-law walked in they said it was perfect.Here's the pros/cons:Pros:Beautiful location - inside and outProfessional group who's been there/done that and were on the money with their recommendations- wonderful attitude and very helpful in so many waysWorked great for our 100+ weddingCeremony/Party flowed very wellCons:Won't let you in a minute before the contract states - we wanted to bring in liquor early - they were there - but refused to let us in. Solution is to deal with that upfront and be sure you're giving yourself plenty of time.Their chairs are basic bridge chairs.  Getting better padded ones becomes VERY expensive.We contracted for an extra buffet station - which wasn't there and Greenhouse said we took it out - not sure where that miscommunication occurred in all honesty - but that's really an issue with our caterer - probably - so I didn't use it in our Stars - but sharing so you confirm and reconfirm these things up to the day before.They have a great interior room with A/C  just outside main room- wanted to use it for the party - for those who needed to get away from crowds & music - and for senior family members.  They charge for it - nonsensical since it just sits there vacant.  Perhaps the building charges for it -but would make sense to include it in base price or just get the building to include.But truly, it was beautiful and a different but exquisite venue - loved the attitude of all involved - and while my daughter-in-law did the majority of set-up, the parts I got to observe - I would very much recommend this venue to everyone.

Even though we ended up not choosing Greenhouse as our wedding venue, this is an absolutely GORGEOUS space with the kindest people running it. It was a tough decision not to choose Greenhouse, and quite honestly I would have been 100% happy here. They do have an option of seven caterers that you have to choose from, and that was really the only downfall. Tacking on $12,000 minimum for food on top of the $5,000 rental fee at Greenhouse already started us at high preliminary costs without any of the customizations that I wanted to make my wedding my own. However, tables, chairs and linens are all included in the Greenhouse cost, as well as exclusive access to the outdoor and indoor space, which has TONS of natural lighting. Not the best views, as it is just office space surrounding you, but it is still green nonetheless! If you're not picky about catering or are willing to spend $$$ for all of the unique customizations, I would HIGHLY consider choosing Greenhouse! More...

Selecting Greenhouse Loft as my wedding venue is one of the best decisions I've ever made. Throughout the entire planning process, the GHL team was extremely thorough and communicative. On the day of the event, every single aspect was handled seamlessly. Our day-off coordinator Katie ensured that every moment of the event ran according to plan. We truly had nothing to worry about or be distracted by; We were totally focused on enjoying the special moments with family and friends. The approved vendors we worked with (Arbor Projects catering, Flowers for Dreams floral & Sweet Mandy B's cake) worked so well with the GHL team. We also really enjoyed working with GHL's in-house photography team; Hadassah was our photographer and she did a wonderful job. The space itself is simply gorgeous. We were lucky enough to have our ceremony outdoors in the garden, and for the reception inside, we opted for the candle-lit package, which created such a warm, romantic atmosphere. Additionally, I felt like the GHL team genuinely cared about giving us the best day ever. I'm truly blown away by their service. Many of our guests commented about how perfect the evening was! I highly recommend Greenhouse Loft to anyone looking for a unique, beautiful wedding venue in Chicago. More...

Greenhouse Loft was the first venue we toured after getting engaged and it was an easy decision to host our May wedding ceremony and reception there. The space is GORGEOUS with beautiful floor to ceiling windows overlooking their private, enclosed garden space, bright airy area for dinner and an equally large space for dancing and the bar. While it was too chilly to host our cocktail hour outside as planned, the garden space was a wonderful plus to allow guests to mingle and cool off after rocking it on the dance floor and the view of the greenery and flowers outside made it feel like spring indoors.  (The indoor gallery was a modern and bright alternative space for our cocktail hour and guests had no idea that we had made a last minute change). While the space is beautiful and photos speak for themselves, what set Greenhouse Loft apart was the consistent high quality of customer service they provided. Every email we sent to GHL staff was responded to within 24 hours with helpful details and suggestions. Their staff was supremely friendly and was a joy to work with! The fact that coat check, tables and chairs, and several larger tables for the bar, etc, are included was the cherry on top and helped reduce cost and planning in other aspects of our wedding :)I am so thrilled that we chose to host our wedding at Greenhouse Loft and would make the same decision over and over again. Thank you for being such an incredible venue- our guests were so impressed and we had such an incredible time! More...

We got married at Greenhouse Loft in October, and overall had a great experience. The venue is beautiful, both indoors and out. And the cocktail space inside is perfect!In the run-up, there were a few issues. Parking doesn't start until 6 PM on a weekday wedding (ours was a Friday), and it took a lot of back and forth to get the staff to work with the building to see if we could open up some spots before 6. In general, dealing with the staff kinda felt like we were an inconvenience... rather than proactively trying to find a solution for us, we had to push them. I can't believe we were the first couple to ever have any of the questions/issues we had...Billing is also annoying, as they add a credit card fee. So we dropped off checks to save a couple hundred bucks. You're already getting thousands from us... just eat the credit card fee, people. With all that said, it was definitely the perfect venue for our 140-person wedding. Lots of space, effective pickup/dropoff of alcohol and other supplies, and a great time was had by all. More...

The gallery was very comfortable for cocktails. A built-in bar in the center of the room accommodates 2 or 3 bartenders, and there's lots of sitting and standing room. Greenhouse Loft at dinner? Magical. Candlelight reflected on those long, lovely windows is amazing! This clean, blank slate with great wood floors and an airy feel is so nice that little decorating was needed--just centerpieces, the GHL candle package, and re-purposed ceremony arrangements. The granite console made a nice sweets table, and there's great space for dancing. The staff is all about making your event a success! Meghan's organization skills, communication, and responsiveness made logistics smooth and easy! My daughter also hired an independent day-of coordinator, which is optional.Jamie and Eric of GHL Photography shot stunning documentary photos. Such talented and nice people! And the Ultimate Photobooth was a major hit! It's well beyond the standard, and Steve's outstanding 5 x 7 prints made great favors. In social media, the evening was described as "a wedding done right" & "epic". To have earned that praise, my daughter & SIL owe a lot to Greenhouse Loft. Do yourself a favor. Talk to the pros. Don't worry if you can't get a Saturday or a summer date. The options are better than you think! More...

My husband and I had our wedding ceremony and reception at GHL on July 24, and we are so happy we did! The space was absolutely stunning (DEFINITELY get the candle package if you choose this place), and it was the perfect size for our 150 guests (though I feel like more than 170 guests would be very cramped if you're into dancing). Meghan was our coordinator and she is super organized and responsive! We planned our wedding from out-of-state, but she was very prompt and detailed in answering all our questions and communications. On our wedding day, she collaborated so well with our vendors that it seemed as though magical elves were just making everything run smoothly. You might be worried that GHL does not do rehearsals, but I promise you, YOU WILL NOT EVEN NEED IT.Another *must* is the photo booth. We decided to add it on at the last minute, and at our reception, it was a HUGE hit! We got the pictures about two weeks after our wedding, and they are breathtaking! Our photographer, Steve, really made it fun for all of us, and truly captured the joy that everyone felt. More...

My wife and I had our wedding at Greenhouse Loft in May 2016, and the venue was fantastic. Initially, GHL caught our eye because of the clean, open space with floor-to-ceiling windows and a peaceful courtyard. After meeting with the staff and touring in person, we knew this would be the right place for our wedding. In the end, the communication and coordination between us, GHL, and our other vendors worked flawlessly, so that after months of planning we were able to relax and enjoy our beautiful wedding day.We had our ceremony and cocktail hour outside in the courtyard, and even had our first dance out there in the waning afternoon light. Once inside, the layout for dinner and dancing worked well to keep everyone in the same room and close to all the action. And the table in the middle of the room makes for a great dessert display!We also hired Jamie, Eric, and Steve for general photography and the ULTIMATE photo booth, and were completely blown away by their work. In our candids, Jamie and Eric found some amazing shots  - we look completely like ourselves, but somehow much cooler and more attractive. And not only did the ultimate photo booth provide a great favor for all of our guests, but now we have some incredible mementos of all our loved ones to cherish for a long time. Way beyond anything your normal cookie-cutter photo booth can offer.Choosing to have our wedding at Greenhouse Loft was the first big decision we made after deciding to have a wedding in the first place, and we are thrilled with how well it worked out. We wish we had more parties to throw there! More...
