Firehouse Chicago

e perfect backdrop for our day. We chose to rent the upstairs room to get ready morning of, took all of our pictures onsite, had our ceremony in the garden, and dinner/reception in the engine room. The gorgeous greenery, subway tiles, natural light, and overall gorgeous aesthetic was perfect for us to relax and enjoy our day, and was truly picturesque from every angle for photos. Their attention to detail in curating this beautiful space is truly remarkable. Beyond its idyllic setting, one of the biggest perks of Firehouse Chicago, is the staff, and the wedding coordination that is included (you don't need to hire a separate day-of or month-of coordinator for this venue!). We got the pleasure of working closely with Teddy and Sarah and we really appreciated their calm reassuring demeanor throughout the wedding planning process, and their delicate touch knowing how important this day was for us and know overwhelming wedding planning can be. They truly helped take some of the stress and worry out of the planning process from start to finish. They ensured every little detail went off without a hitch from start to finish. They were so helpful in initial planning, month-of coordinating, day-of execution, and responding to all of my questions along the way. The rest of the Firehouse Staff was incredible day-of, and made sure everything ran smoothly. They kept us to our timeline, checked in with us frequently throughout the day, calmed my nerves as I waited to walk down the aisle, helped hype us up and build our confidence for our fire pole entrance, and even ensured we had some quiet time to ourselves after the ceremony to let things sink in and enjoy our moment. Their staff is truly the best- we were so fortunate we chose them for our big day.

tions to help us execute our dream wedding reception. Their recommendations for catering and bartending were perfect! We loved that they coordinated with all the vendors to orchestra all the moving pieces so we didn't have to; this gave us so much peace of mind and mental bandwidth to focus on other priorities. We felt our needs were always anticipated, and the staff were waiting to assist at a moment's notice. We also loved that minimal additional decor was needed when choosing this venue. The firehouse's character and courtyard made for a uniquely Chicago experience, which we and our guests loved. Lastly, we loved how all the essential details were managed and kept orderly, so we had one less thing to think or worry about. 10/10 highly recommend!

anding, and their recommendations were top tier. The venue itself was beautiful, and the spaces for getting ready made the day seamless. The day of coordinators kept everything moving smoothly, made sure everything looked beautiful, that everyone was comfortable, and even helped me when my dress bustle broke. If we could do it all over again, we absolutely would. Cannot recommend the firehouse enough!

out the planning process and went above and beyond to make sure everything went seamlessly on the day of the wedding. Their recommendations for other vendors were so helpful and they really helped us think through all the details. We are so grateful to their team for making our day amazing!

r wedding organized. They're great communicators, calm heads, kind and all round positive vibes that make wedding planning and wedding day so much less stressful. Thank You Sarah and Teddy for all your hard work! Couldn't recommend this place enough.

forward to 8 years later and we got married at Firehouse. My wife fell in love with the venue as soon as we pulled up. Its a 1920s firehouse and alll the beautiful, unique, and intricate details make the venue absolutely gorgeous. The details from outside, inside, and the rooms are beautiful. The location is amazing and everyone at the wedding loved the ambience. You don't even need much decor with how beautiful the space is. Highly recommend the 3 rooms upstairs. Now for the staff, Sarah and Teddy helped us up to the wedding and were organized and very communicative. They supported us throughout with decisions and made sure the day of went perfectly. I literally cannot think of a thing I would change because how smoothly their help made the event go. The staff who opened put out the decor and it was perfect. They were extremely caring and helpful. One Firehouse member had helped fix our polaroid cause a guest messed up putting in film and he was right on top of it. The staff was so caring and helpful! Thank you all sooooo much! Book firehouse for all your events. You would not regret it at all! *Photos taken by Jungle Branch

Heidi, Jasmine, and Teddy were professional, kind, accommodating, and the best at what they do. We would recommend this venue to all. Thank you for the best day of our lives.
