Beautiful venue with outdoor ceremony space. Ideal location for <150. Loft vibe with nice inclusion of DJ & Photo Booth. Multiple table floor plan options. On site security. R...
estrooms in close proximity. Access to loft via elevator or escalator. Large chef prep kitchen space and spacious bridal suite.
Additional parking is available, I don’t recommend.
Ideal venue for those who prefer choice for catering, service, etc. Only suggestions to improve would be an ice machine & food warmer. Thank you Spencer & team!

Our day-of liaisons, Niko and Leeloo, were so helpful and friendly. They were also very flexible with cocktail hour location for day-of rain chances!

e staff for our rehearsal and wedding day were extremely helpful and kind and don't even get me started on everything that comes with booking the venue! Not only do you get an insanely beautiful venue but also a DJ, graphic designer, photo booth (that you get digital copies of every photo taken from) and an open catering list? Perfection! My husband is an audio engineer and fell in love with the sound system at the venue and how well balanced it was for a PARTY on the dance floor but also being able to sit at a table and chat with folks without having to yell over the music but still feel like a part of it all. We loved every second of working with Greenhouse Loft and will recommend it to anyone and everyone for events.

ad and made the process so easy. The weather was beautiful and all the included amenities were great. We loved that we could customize the venue to exactly what we wanted and make it truly ours for the night. Also, the graphic designer Brian was so quick to turn everything around given the tight window we had and made everything match perfectly. Also, the process of choosing a DJ was great. They matched us with our Dj Mando and he made the night so unforgettable to where our guests couldn’t stop raving about the music. Such an amazing venue and staff, I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out!

le and so accommodating for our wedding. They helped with logistics and made the entire process very smooth.
It was so nice to not have to worry about tables/chair setup, lawn games, or hiring a photobooth or DJ (DJ Style Matters is great, and our DJ Mike, a.k.a. Shazam Bangles was a hit. Even our out of town friends wanted to get his card to follow him). Our guests loved being able to use the different areas to sit and catch up or hit up the dance floor to party.
This is an amazing space that I cannot recommend enough
Very beautiful venue with lots of different types of spaces. The main space was perfect for the ceremony, dinner, and dancing - and the gallery space was great for our cocktail hou...
r and offered a quieter area to rest during the reception. The outdoor area also offered a great backdrop for photos. We also loved the inclusion of the Photo Booth.
Spencer and Callie were very helpful - not only on the day of, but in the time leading up to the wedding.
Ryan, The DJ provided, was fantastic. We have had multiple guests comment on how much they like the music. He really brought great vibes to our reception.
Highly recommend this venue, we had a great time!
Greenhouse Loft was the perfect venue for our wedding ceremony and reception! Spencer, Callie, and the entire GHL team were very communicative and helpful from the very beginning. ...
We originally planned to have our ceremony outside on the terrace, but ended up having an indoor ceremony on account of rain. The lighting was perfect and felt so bright and airy, and the staff made sure our transitions between ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner ran smoothly. We are so happy that we had our wedding at GHL!
Our experience with Greenhouse loft was phenomenal. We fell in love with Greenhouse Loft when we first visited. The beautiful and unique loft space with floor to ceiling glass wind...
ows and an outdoor courtyard seemed idyllic. But seeing it all actually pan out the day of the wedding with all of the details in place was even more magical than we could have imagined. The space is unbeatable and a perfect place to host a wedding.
Starting with the team – our experience with Greenhouse Loft management and staff was excellent. Spencer and Callie were both incredibly communicative and prompt in their responses. They were highly professional and most importantly, extremely flexible with all of our requests up until the very last minute! (Make sure to ask them about their recommendations for other vendors, as they recommended some gems who know their venue and staff well!)
We utilized their DJ services (which is already included in the venue cost), and were thrilled with the results. Our DJ, Duke, was outstanding and understood our vision perfectly. He worked closely with all of my song requests and helped facilitate several surprise dances with perfect execution. Honestly could not have asked for a better DJ and MC even if I had searched extensively for myself. Having this all included in the venue package made things so much easier.
A couple notes about the day of: Our ceremony and cocktail hour both took place outdoors in the courtyard, which was spectacular. I highly recommend taking advantage of this space if the weather cooperates. Also, the photobooth they provide was a huge hit, and the projector/graphic designer was a perfect touch that added a lot to the day.
It was truly a unique and magical experience having our wedding here. We could not provide higher praise.
Greenhouse Loft was nothing short of perfect for our wedding on June 8, 2024 - not only the venue itself, but all of the people working at and with GHL. The venue is gorgeous, ther...
e are many different spaces with unique vibes, lots of great natural light, and stunning architecture even before any decorations.
Spencer and Callie were AMAZING to work with - so kind, responsive, and extremely helpful. We opted to use the included DJ from Style Matters, and Emilio was perfectly matched with us; similar music taste and vibes, he kept the dance floor rocking all night!
Digital graphics were also included and were so tailored to our tastes and requests, and in such a short turnaround time! Brian is such a pro and created multiple beautiful images from our somewhat vague list of ideas. He's a mind reader and truly an artist.
GHL is an amazing venue everything working there is just the very best; we wish we could get married there all over again!
We booked Greenhouse Loft for our wedding ceremony and reception on March 22, 2024, and we couldn't be happier with their services and event space! From start to finish, Spencer a...
nd Callie were incredibly responsive and helpful. We booked our venue over a year out from the wedding, and Spencer was responsive and in touch any time we needed him, whether it was to schedule another walk through, answer questions about the space, or anything else that came up along the way. Then, on the day the day of, the team was there every step of the way to ensure everything in the space was working and ready to go. Not only did we love working with Spencer and his team, but our vendors also loved working there as well! Our catering, photographer, florist, and wedding planners all had amazing things to say about working at Greenhouse Loft. It was also amazing that the space included the photo booth, optional DJ services (we we used and LOVED), an open catering/bar services list, a separate space for cocktail hour, and digital graphic designs for projections. Greenhouse is a hidden Chicago gem, and amazing place to a wedding!
My husband and I got married here a little over a month ago and we are still amazed at how dreamy and fun everything about our wedding turned out to be. A lot of that is due to the...
excellent staff at Greenhouse Loft. Spencer, Vicki, Kali, our event liaison, and everyone else we worked with while planning our special day here was helpful and friendly and answered any questions we had. We knew quickly that we had chosen the best venue for us. They are a well-oiled machine over there.
The space itself is very open and customizable, allowing for a lot of different wedding styles to be accommodated. I loved how the big windows allow so much natural light to pour into the space. It gives the ceremony an airy, rooftop-like quality, even while indoors on a cloudy day in March. Add just about any decorative elements you like and they will catch the light beautifully. I also liked that there is the gallery/lounge area off to the side. So guests have a place to go if they need a break from the sound of the dancefloor.
We found the amenities that are included with the venue booking extremely convenient. The fact that tables & chairs, some parking spaces, graphic design for projectors, a photobooth (which our little nephews loved), a security guard, and a DJ were included, saved us so much extra time and work. Shout out to our DJ Duke! He did an amazing job as well, keeping the vibes going all night. If you are a couple who would like to cut down on the amount of vendors and extras that you'll need to coordinate with, Greenhouse Loft is a solid choice. We also felt great hosting our wedding in a venue where sustainability and waste-mitigation are prioritized. It can be hard finding eco-friendly options for weddings on a budget. But Greenhouse Loft made it a lot easier for us.
They say that booking your venue is the most important choice you'll make about your wedding (besides who you're marrying of course). We have absolutely no regrets about booking Greenhouse Loft. It was the perfect spot to create wedding memories we will cherish always.
This wedding venue and company is the pinnacle of wedding venues in so many ways. We had very particular hopes for the wedding (most importantly: to use our own caterer) and GHL di...
d everything to help us and make it work. Spencer is so incredible at responding to emails, most of the time within the hour. He had an answer to all of our questions with such a positive vibe. The day of the wedding the staff was incredibly helpful and on top of everything. My family assumed they would have to help break something down, but in their own words, they turned around, and everything was done. We couldn't have asked for a more stellar team to make our day special, we will be singing their praises for the rest of our lives!

rom the initial viewing to the wedding day! His team was flexible and allowed our family members to view the venue on our behalf as we were planning our wedding from out of town. All of the vendors we used were familiar with the venue and had expressed their fondness for the professionalism of staff and the ease of use of the space. Our guests were impressed by the uniqueness of the space and the offerings it provided for different parts of the wedding. We were fortunate to have a gorgeous October day and had the ceremony in the outside green space/garden which provided an outstanding background for the ceremony. The photo booth added an extra special touch and gave us mementos to look back on from the big day! We also had an incredible DJ (Major Taylor) that entertained and impressed us and our guests throughout the night! We highly recommend Greenhouse Loft to anyone looking to get married in a truly unique and wonderful setting in Chicago!
A more beautiful venue does not exist, we're convinced! From the bright airy windows in the ceremony/reception space, to the large dancefloor, to the art gallery cocktail hour spac...
e, to the greenery-filled outdoor garden space, this venue was perfect for our fall wedding! We knew we would likely be enjoying the inside space more predominantly than the outside given the questionable Chicago November weather, but the outdoor space was still much appreciated by our guests who wanted a moment to cool off after breaking it down on the dance floor. We even got some fun night photos as the bride and groom as our photographer was heading out!
Spencer was the most amazing venue owner we could have hoped to work with, and was incredibly responsive and flexible throughout the whole process. Like super super responsive. I don’t think we ever waited more than a day for an email response from him and gave off this air that as long as a request was reasonable, the sky was the limit for our special day! From our first tour we knew this was the space for us, but every day after just reaffirmed our choice. Almost all of our vendors that we selected ended up having nothing but amazing things to say about the venue and Spencer, and them all knowing eachother definitely made things easier.
We had the most incredible venue coordinator on our day, who worked so well with our day-of coordinator and other vendors we felt super comfortable that the whole team could handle any curve ball thrown their way. The space was the perfect size for the seating chart we were hoping for, and the attention to detail was so appreciated (like making the parent's table was perfectly perpendicular to the sweetheart table). We could not recommend this venue or Spencer more!
I was lucky enough to attend a wedding at Greenhouse Loft some years ago, and remembered the space when my now-husband and I were looking at venues. Management had changed, but the...
space remains a beautiful canvas on which to paint your wedding. It's "industrial" enough if that's your vibe, but it was easily flexible enough to accommodate our more "rustic" theme.
We can't have been the easiest couple they've ever worked with—I had annoyingly specific notes for the graphic designer, and our reception included a karaoke hour!—but the team somehow made everything happen for us. (Special mention goes to Niko, Brian, and Lisa here.) Not only that, the space is just neat; we were really grateful for the cool of the Sky Garden at night after an hour of frantic dancing. Plus, not having to find a DJ made our planning process that much easier, and Max (one of many choices) kept us moving and really got our feel. Greenhouse Loft was the first vendor we picked, even before our planner, and we're so glad we were able to work with them.
We cannot thank Greenhouse Loft enough for hosting our wedding and helping us tremendously. Spencer, Callie, and our day of event liaisons Becca and Lisa were all over-the-top incr...
edible. We had the absolute best day thanks to their hard work, constant communication with us for over a year, and expertise. They definitely know what they are doing and our day went perfectly (without a wedding planner or coordinator) thanks to their help. Your vendors will make or break your day and these guys helped ours goes soo smoothly!
Our time at Greenhouse Loft was simply the best! We knew we wanted GHL to be the venue of choice early on in the planning process, but they were booked several of the dates we were...
interested in (a very good sign). So, we essentially planned our day on what they had available.
When we began looking into vendors, many asked where we were having the wedding and we said "Greenhouse Loft". Believe me when I say EVERY vendor we told their reaction was, "oh, excellent choice!"
The communication was great with Spencer and Callie, making the planning process very smooth. It's such a simple, yet beautiful space. We didn't have too much decor, but that was intentional because the space does the work for you. There's so much flexibility in what you can do at GHL. Plus, there's parking!!!!
We HIGHLY recommend Greenhouse Loft!!
Truly the best venue in Chicago. Spencer was so easy to work with and Callie, Vicki, and Lisa absolutely killed it helping us bring everything together for our wedding day. All of ...
our guests were raving about how cool the venue was. The sustainability piece was so important to us so we loved finding a conscientious venue that aligns with our values. Forever recommend (and now desperate for someone to invite us to a GHL wedding! :) )
Greenhouse Loft is the perfect venue. The BYOB saved us so much money and allowed us to bring in some special sentimental wine, the photobooth (something we were not initially very...
excited about) was a HUGE hit, Spencer was really easy to work and communicate with, and the space? GORGEOUS.
It felt like we barely had to do anything to the space itself because it was already so beautiful. We loved being able to have a simple, clean aesthetic with flower accents and to be able to choose if our cocktail hour was inside or outside based on the day's weather. It really helped with my stress level knowing there was a built in rain plan that didn't sacrifice anything!
I would definitely recommend Greenhouse Loft. It feels like an absolute steal for everything you get!
Greenhouse Loft was perfect place for our wedding, setting the stage for a joyous and meaningful night.
After touring a number of venues that felt very scammy, we were struck GHL...
does the little things to show that it's upfront and make you feel that they're really on your side: while other places would charge extra for the photo booth or candle service, for example, those are just included. The open vendor list let us bring in one of our favorite restaurants to cater, and the BYOB liquor option saved us thousands of dollars.
Spencer always responded to questions promptly. Callie was welcoming and organized, offering thoughtful guidance about how best to use the time and space we had. We were paired with DJ Major Taylor who might just be the world's best DJ! We had 153 guests and that seemed to be about the ideal number.
We had a wonderful experience using Greenhouse Loft for our wedding venue in March 2023. The space was beautiful, intuitively designed, warm, spacious, and inviting and our celebra...
tion flowed very seamlessly.
We worked with Spencer and Callie, and they were helpful and communicative. The venue was affordably priced (especially for an off-season wedding on a Sunday) and had some wonderful included amenities - photobooth, candle treatment, graphic design support, beautiful tables and chairs, allowed us to bring in our own vendors. We also loved their focus on sustainability!
A DJ from Style Matters was also included in the price, which was a huge perk for us. We worked with Duke Shin and the vibes were immaculate!
We could not have been more thrilled with our decision to have a wedding at Greenhouse Loft. Spencer and Callie were excellent to work and plan with. They answered our questions, p...
rovided details and plans that made it easy for us to DIY portions of our event, and we loved all of the flexibility their policies allowed. We were able to save some costs by BYOB'ing our own alcohol from Garfields, and choose our own caterers to bring in. We loved working with the designer, Brian on special graphics to personalize the scene. And of course have to give a shout out to Style Matters DJ Duke. Our dance floor was incredibly lit and everyone remarked how good the music was. SO many bonuses of the overall space: location, indoor/outdoor options, natural light, included parking, tons of beautiful locations for photos...I could go on. But if you're wondering if this space is too good to be true...it's not! It is very, very real. We love Greenhouse Loft and I only hope someone in our network gets married here again soon so we can go back and experience it as a guest :)
This was the perfect venue for our wedding! All of the staff were so helpful! I planned the wedding myself, and obviously I missed some details. They looked out for us, and took ou...
r vibes into mind. There was 2 employees there as Venue Coordinators. They helped transform the space after the ceremony. They also helped time us down the Aisle.
Spencer is the owner, and he made the process so much easier on us. He answered all our Q’s and was kind and patient with us! Callie met with us at the pre wedding meetings, I clearly had no clue what I was doing, and she was there to help me get my sh** together. She put up with my not knowing ANYTHING, and patiently answered all of my q’s! She also knew and understood my vision, and looked out for me when a vendor offered to leave up some string lights for the weekend. She knew that was something I really wanted but couldn’t pull off. I am so THANKFUL to her for looking out for us, it made the vibes perfect! Brian was the graphic designer, and he helped take our vibes and made us projection welcome signs, and made the cute photo strips! Our day of Coordinators put up with my craziness. They did everything perfectly, and I did not have to worry about anything.
This space was a blank canvas, easy to transform to any vibe. There was also a gallery for cocktail hour so that we were able to take our pictures in the space in peace. Another thing that was great about this venue, was it included a DJ. We had Jonathan. He really understood our vibe, and was perfect for the day. There was a photo booth there as well. This was include with the venue as well. There were color and black & white photo strips, all included. They also sent us digital copies after. I feel bad that I don’t remember the names of the staff who was there the day of, but I am also so thankful that they did not need to ask my a bunch of questions. They just did everything perfectly, and took control of what they needed to, without involving me in every little thing. If it wasn’t for them I wouldn’t have been able to be so present at the event!
Greenhouse loft was the perfect location for our wedding. Spencer helped us book our date and the staff was very helpful. We had a lot of questions they were ready to answer. Our g...
uests gave us lots of compliments on the space, the photo booth and the dj (DJ Duke from style matters) after the wedding. The lighting was fantastic and I would recommend greenhouse to anyone.
The Greenhouse Loft was the perfect place for our wedding. We had about 120 people in attendance for our indoor ceremony and reception. Not only is the space stunning, but the staf...
f is amazing. If we had questions they were always available and had a bunch of ideas on how to make our event just right. Not to mention, they were super easy to work with. Also, we loved that they eco-conscious and worked with our cater to ensure that both their and our requirements were met. Would highly recommend to anyone hosting an event!
Holy bologna. Greenhouse Loft was an absolutely fabulous vendor. We had the most amazing time and felt really taken care of.
We had our reception on a Friday in 2022 and it was $9...
,000 total. Check their website/knot for what it all entails but here are some highlights:
tables/chairs set up tear down, open catering list, DJ included, photo booth, 3 separate areas for reception (main hall, gallery, and outside in the sky garden), 30 parking spots included, day of coordinator for vendors, and a graphic designed to help with projections (used their projectors and didn’t need to print anything out!! was able to have seating chart, bar list, and pictures playing all evening!)
We would highly recommend GHL and had such a pleasure working with Spencer and Callie!
We could not have asked for a more perfect venue for our July 2022 wedding! Spencer and his team were amazing to work with - organized, quick to respond, and accommodating with any...
requests we had. The space speaks for itself and is absolutely beautiful. We did both our ceremony and cocktail hour outside. Leading up to the wedding, I was worried about the highway/metra noise; however, we didn’t hear it at all on our wedding day! Our guests are still raving about the venue and how beautiful everything turned out.
If we had to do our wedding all over again, we would definitely re-book at GHL. For the many reasons others mentioned (flexibility with our vendors, graphic design/DJ/Photo Booth i...
ncluded, spacious bridal suite, indoor/outdoor accessibility, environmentally-conscious space), the venue met all our needs. We are grateful that they continued to work with us over the pandemic, after first having our date postponed in 2020 to finally celebrating July 2022. Would absolutely recommend.
If you are looking for a perfect city venue this is it! Our outdoor ceremony and cocktail time was wonderful for summer and the indoor space is the perfect vibe. I also love their ...
getting ready space. Spencer and the GHL team were so helpful and responsive to everything we needed and envisioned. We had a blast with the photo booth and it was nice that the DJ was included. Bonus that they are environmentally friendly!
Highly recommend working with Spencer and the Ovation team at Greenhouse Loft! After becoming frustrating in vising venues and hearing about all of the complication that would come...
along with them (catering requirements, alcohol requirements, strict time limits, lack of parking, hidden fees....) we were so happy to finally find Greenhouse Loft and reserved our wedding date there on the spot. Spencer was very easy to get ahold of through the planning process with any questions that we had, and he worked with us through the city's vaccine mandate coming and going. Highly recommend this venue or any others under this management. You won't regret it.
My experience with Greenhouse Loft was absolutely superb from start to finish! The second we walked in the space for our tour, we knew we wanted to book it. The space is so airy & ...
bright! I was trying to book environmentally-friendly services as well, so the fact that GHL is in the Green Wedding Alliance was a great added bonus!
The pricing is excellent. You get a ton included, like DJ services, photo booth, chair and table rentals, graphic design services, etc. On top of that, our event was off-season, so we really got a deal.
Communication with GHL was amazing as well. Spencer was super responsive and helpful in all of our emails to get everything set up. He suggested other vendors to use as well, which made my planning even easier.
My day-of liaisons, Callie and Cydnei, were so attentive and helpful! They literally made our day awesome. We had a guest take a spill & hurt her arm, and they helped her by getting materials to make a splint so she could still enjoy the wedding! My mother, who is notoriously hard to impress, had nothing but the highest praise for Callie & Cydnei! She said you were her favorite vendors of the evening.
And the DJ services provided from Style Matters? Fucking AWESOME. I couldn't ask for a better vibe to the evening. John kept the dance floor going the entire evening. Banger after banger - he understood the assignment completely and really made our reception something special.
If you are a bride or groom looking into Greenhouse Loft for your wedding, I HIGHLY suggest you take a tour and book with them! Our wedding was the best day of my life, and GHL was a major part of that. From start to finish, I was impressed. Thanks again to the team - you guys rock!!!
We looked at so many venues and Greenhouse Loft far exceeded anything we saw prior. When we walked in we knew this was the perfect place to have our wedding reception. Spencer was ...
the most friendly and accommodating person and helped to make our day easy and stress free. This event space is ideal if you have a wide range of guests that will enjoy dancing, lounging near the bar, connecting with friends and family outside or taking a million photos in the Photo Booth. Greenhouse Loft was the dreamscape to our dreamy day.
Spencer and team were wonderful to work with and the space was absolutely beautiful for our wedding! We used the outdoor space for our ceremony and cocktail hour and then moved ins...
ide for the reception. Gorgeous space that does not need many decorations. Would definitely recommend!
Beautiful location, Spencer knows how to work with other vendors and with you!
Everything was so easy and it made it so simple to just relax and enjoy the day!!
would recommend to ...
EVERYONE.
Spencer, Lindsay, and Duke (our provided DJ) were the perfect people to have helping us with our wedding during COVID. They were always following the city guidelines, keeping us up...
dated, and still making sure it would be an enjoyable experience for all. The features that are included in the venue price made our ceremony and reception cohesive and unique (and a complete steal!). With Lindsay as our day-of coordinator there was minimal stress once we got to the venue before the ceremony, and there was nothing for us to worry about once it started.
Style Matters Review
Greenhouse Loft is an amazing event space. PERIOD. Spencer and crew are some of the most professional in the city. I recently threw my wife a virtual 40th bi...
rthday party there. Due to Covid, we had to approach this very differently. All our friends had to join us virtually to keep a safe and fun environment. Thanks to Spencer everything went above and beyond my expectations. For a night with a guest list of two people, it still felt like a big celebration and very safe.
Thanks to Greenhouse Loft’s state-of-the-art AV setup, I was able to patch in our friends and family via Zoom on Greenhouse Loft’s video wall. We booked our wedding DJ for the night and it sounded amazing through the Void sound system. The flowers, table design, and food all looked amazing in the space. The clean modern environment is bright, warm, and timeless.
I can’t praise Spencer and his crew at Greenhouse Loft enough. One of the best looking and professional venues in the city.
This venue has it ALL! I'm a Wedding Planner here in Chicago, so I'm always referring my couples to check out Greenhouse Loft! Working with Spencer and his team is a wonderful expe...
rience every single time. They make it so simple to come in and tour the space and get all of your questions answered, though much of their information on date availability, rental pricing & information etc. is already on their website. Very streamlined and organized! The space itself is STUNNING with versatile options on how to best utilize the spaces for your day. And the rental comes with the inclusion of an awesome Style Matters DJ and Photo Booth?! This hardly scratches the surface of what this space has to offer, so I really just recommend you check it out for yourself! If you're looking for a space with modern, industrial, romantic, garden & intimate vibes and TONS of inclusions, this is the venue for you!
Since our first visit to Greenhouse Loft we knew it was the venue for us. Spencer and his staff have been nothing but friendly and helpful. The space is absolutely beautiful. So mu...
ch light! The new tables, bar, and photo booth are wonderful upgrades. We are so pleased that we chose them as our venue.
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.
Greenhouse Lofts was amazing! The venue is beautiful, the staff was helpful and knowledgeable, and it was the perfect for our city aesthetic. We added the photo booth to our packa...

We were the first wedding with the new ownership and in that, we lucked out. Spencer is so accessible and accommodating. He's an expert with no airs about him. He's making great changes like more options for caterers, parking, and furniture. He helped us with drop off, ceremony coordination, and let us lay out the space how we saw fit. We're thrilled with Greenhouse Loft. I would love to go back there as a guest :)
Of all the wedding venues, my now husband and I visited in Chicago there was no questioning the instant connection we felt to the space the moment we stepped into the main loft spa...
ce on our tour of the venue. The first thing we said to each other as we left was how we both had gotten butterflies as we took in all the gorgeous natural light, tall open ceilings, and the beautiful (included) courtyard. Working with Meghan and Emily was excellent as well. Meghan was lightning fast to return our emails with any questions we had about their extra packages (the candles are a MUST) and about their curated vendor lists. On our wedding day, we were not disappointed as everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Though we thankfully did not end up having to use it, we had a full Rain Plan for the cocktail hour in place and know that their gallery would've worked just as beautifully as a cocktail hour space had we needed it. Every moment from the sunlit ceremony to the sunset during dinner and toasts was perfectly captured and savored thanks to the glass walls making up two sides of the venue. The tables and chairs were all provided by the venue and their candles added such wonderful ambiance for the dancing and mingling after dinner. We couldn't have asked for a better venue to get married in!
Everything at this space was amazing, up until the last 15 minutes of our wedding. Everyone was great to work with while we were planning our wedding & seemed to be super responsiv...
e to our ideas. We were fine with the drop off time for our decor, even though it would be a little tight for us. We had our ceremony inside & the cocktail hour in the art gallery as it was snowing outside. All of this was beautiful. It was incredibly affordable for Chicago & their list of approved vendors were all people we were considering working with anyway. We also appreciated how they are a green space as so much of the wedding industry can feel wasteful.
However. Our friend made & set up our photobooth for us in the welcome space of the venue. Emily knew & approved all of this beforehand, including the dimensions of said booth. We were told all of our items would be kept until the Monday after our wedding so we could pick them up then. We were happy with this as we would be exhausted from having just gotten married. However, as we, the bride and groom, were leaving at the end of the night, Emily from GHL came up to us to let us know we would have to take our photobooth with us. We didn't know what to do as it was A.) midnight B.) we were in our formal clothes C.) hadn't driven to the venue ourselves, and D.) had nowhere to store the booth until Monday as originally planned. It ended up being an argument that didn't need to happen as Emily finally relented as let us store the photobooth in the loading dock of the venue for one night. We still had to disassemble the photobooth (still wearing our wedding clothes) with some of our groomsmen & then my husband had to go to the venue the next afternoon to load everything up into a rented van. Honestly, this would have been fine if we were told beforehand, but we were not & for Emily to approach us at the end of the night seemed very unprofessional.
This was very disappointing because everything else up until that point had been amazing & we would have rated GHL 5 stars.
We loved having our wedding at Greenhouse Loft. It is a beautiful venue and has great natural light for photos. I highly recommend the candle package, and you HAVE TO book the ulti...
mate photo booth. We have a TON of fantastic photos, and our guests LOVED that they could take home pictures. Additionally, on my wedding day my grandmother fell outside and we had to call an ambulance….the very next day I received a call from Meghan at Greenhouse Loft asking how my grandmother was doing. It was amazing costumer service. One word of caution…do not pick Feast & Imbibe as your caterer if they are still an approved caterer for Greenhouse Loft. F&I was a hot mess on our wedding day. We were grateful that the team at Greenhouse Loft helped to keep the evening organized and listened to our catering concerns after our wedding day. We are so glad we went with Greenhouse Loft. What a great experience!
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!
We're so happy we chose this venue, and would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a great venue in the city!
To me, there was NO other choice than Greenhouse for my venue. Meghan and Melanie were amazing to work with and were fantastic with communication and planning preparations.

ndoor outdoor space is incredible and such an amazing thing to have in Chicago. Everything was made SO easy and the wedding extememly beautiful.
The only negative is that the metra train runs right behind the venue, so you can expect a slight pause in your ceremony (if it's outside) for about 10 seconds as it passes. To me - that's Chicago!
Greenhouse Loft is absolutely awesome. We had our wedding there this August, and choosing Greenhouse Loft was such a wonderful decision. The space is gorgeous. It is reasonably pri...
ced, and they do not needlessly upcharge you for having the ceremony on site. The team there is wonderful and so hands on. Not only were they amazing and patient about answering my endless e-mails and questions in the year leading up to the wedding, but they were so attentive day of. I do not have enough kind words to express how lovely Greenhouse Loft is or how professional and attentive their team is. Get married at Greenhouse Loft!!!!!
After looking at multiple venues, the second I walked into GHL I knew it was perfect. The entire staff was fantastic and really worked to answer all of my questions and make my vis...
ion come true. They are very professional and always worked with me to find the best option! They are an extremely popular venue so I would recommend booking well in advance, but I promise that it is worth it! I have absolutely nothing but good things to say about GHL and my guests would agree. They all thought it was a magical and unique space. Bonus: you won't be making a huge impact on the environment, something the Groom and I are passionate about. Other venues should use GHL as an example of that. 10/10 would recommend!
This venue is gorgeous, definitely needs to be seen in person if you’re considering the venue. We originally chose this venue because we loved the idea of the professional photo bo...
oth. However we did not end up purchasing use of the photo booth and still were thrilled with our selection.
I actually appreciated that Greenhouse loft required you to choose certain vendors from a pre-approved list. It narrowed my options to a manageable level and ensured that the vendors were familiar with the venue and worked well with the Greenhouse Loft staff. The staff was extremely accommodating: managing set up, creating a timeline, cueing the procession, and even handling my last minute requests and changes. Plus it felt really good to partner with a vendor that is part of the Green Wedding Alliance.
Thank you Katie and Meghan!!
