We just hosted my brothers engagement party at Salon 61 and it was amazing.
The space itself is beautiful, the food was absolutely delicious, and the service was top tier. I would expect nothing less from a Lettuce Entertain You venue. We hosted over 80 people and it was more than enough space. When you book with Salon 61 you reserve the entire venue which includes two separate spaces. We used one for cocktail hour and the other for dining and dancing. There is valet available which you can choose to cover for your guests.
Allie was very communicative and responded quickly to our countless questions. Would highly recommend this new space if you are looking to host an event in the buzzy River North neighborhood.
