We booked River Room to host our post-elopement reception and it could not have possibly been more perfect. The space itself is absolutely gorgeous, and I really feel it’s such a great value for everything you get between the indoor/outdoor space, lounge furniture, beautiful bridal suite, planning assistance, and the extremely reasonable drink packages. We even had a firepit and s'mores! Monica was an absolute DREAM to work with; everytime we met with her it seriously felt like we were spending time with a friend we’ve known forever! She brought all of our visions to life and was there the entire night to ensure everything ran smoothly. A really fun part of booking with River Room is that you get to use their beers as part of your drink package. We were able to go in for a tasting with some friends in order to determine which beers we wanted to offer our guests, which was such an exciting pre-reception event that we really appreciated. We are so grateful to have booked River Room and to have worked with all of their staff, and it will always be such a special place to us!
We got married at river room and our day was absolutely perfect. The venue is gorgeous. A perfect backdrop to the river and the inside is spacious and gorgeous. Monica was an absolute pleasure to work with. She pays attention to every single detail and makes sure it is all executed properly. Her communication is spectacular and she is also such an awesome person. Our wedding was literally flawless thanks to this venue. We didn’t have to worry about a single thing as it was being taken care of by Monica! she truly is incredible and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to get married!!!!
River Room is an absolutely gorgeous space in Chicago, right on the river and across from Horner Park! We worked primarily with Monica, the event manager there and she absolutely was so helpful in making our dream wedding happen. We had a magical day, thanks in part to the venue. A bonus of booking this venue is that you will get a selection of Burning Bush brewery beers, great for beer fans. It’s also a perfect setup for catering, with an industrial space, and a BEAUTIFUL bridal suite. They also have a fantastic and thoughtfully designed audio set up. We had live ceremony musicians that performed outside and they were heard clearly. You’d never know they were outside! Truly, this venue was designed to be a winning wedding space and you couldn’t go wrong with the fantastic amenities and people that RR has to offer.
Any questions?
Not only is the River Room absolutely gorgeous, but they are incredible to work with. They were great at communicating very timely throughout our entire planning process and through the entire wedding weekend. Monica really helped our vision come true and all of our vendors loved working with her. Professionalism and high quality is top of mind for the River Room, and it showed throughout the entire process. We also loved getting to feature their beers and had many wedding guests (and our DJ and our Day of Coordinator) commenting how much they loved it. Many friends now have a new go-to brewery and are planning on ordering some beer to go as well. We took a majority of our pictures there as well and they all looked so stunning. We loved being able to use the patio and give our guests options to be outside on the perfect summer night. You won't regret booking the River Room for your big day!
We couldn’t have been more pleased to have had River Room at Burning Bush Brewery as our venue. It’s a beautiful multi-purpose space with gorgeous exposed brick and chandeliers, sitting on the north branch of the Chicago River, with outdoor space at your disposal. The bridal suite is beautiful with skylights and the bathrooms are brand new (actually the entire space is brand news). Adam and his team are incredibly accommodating, allowing us to visit many times to view the space even after we signed the contract. He helped us plan our wedding and we are grateful to him and the entire River Room team for their kindness, flexibility, and professionalism. To put it succinctly, I highly recommend this venue!
