Salvatore's Wedding Venue

you are looking to have everything in one place. We had our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception here and even took photos in the courtyard. Everything flows seamlessly from one stage to the next, and the staff were so kind. Everything went perfectly on the day! Our guests spoke so highly of the venue, food, and event flow. We are so happy to have spent our special day at Salvatore’s!!!!

year of engagement! It truly is a hidden gem. The TL;DR – my wife and I were so happy with how everything went, that I am writing this extremely long review because I have no idea how to concisely express our satisfaction, or how to choose highlights without leaving out pieces that were essential to making the best day of our lives. The thing that drew us in to Salvatore’s was the appealing package for micro weddings (50 people or less). We had almost given up on finding a venue in Chicago that could reasonably accommodate our wishes for the right venue space for a wedding. It seemed like we were going to have to choose between getting married somewhere else (inconvenient to friends and relatives) and getting married at a restaurant that didn’t truly feel like a reception venue. But then there was Salvatore’s! As soon as we saw the pictures of this gorgeous and classy venue, we knew we had to schedule a tour. And things only went up from there. The team is excellent with customer service, and we knew from how they treated us on the tour that we had found a place where our guests would feel right at home. Thanks to their experience with weddings, they were able to point out considerations that we hadn’t even thought of in making our decisions. Just as we thought we couldn’t be more impressed…the tasting blew our minds. We had the opportunity to try a WIDE variety of their samplings, and each one of them was either “pretty good” or “incredible”. This was fun because we were able to bring my wife’s parents (for a small fee). We had about four months between picking Salvatore’s and the wedding. Their communication throughout that time was consistent. I went back and forth with them so many times and they never seemed annoyed or irritated. Emails were always answered within 24 hours, and if something was urgent, it was only a phone call away. We really appreciated their flexibility with add-ons. Initially we went with the base package, but we ended up adding a few extra guests (I think the final count was 56 instead of 50), some extra time for the bar to stay open late, and a signature cocktail. Fast forward to the day of. Everything went off perfectly. We were able to visit the venue a few times in the weeks leading up to the wedding to visualize and plan. They allowed vendors (and a few helpers) to arrive early for set up. Our guests loved the champagne greeting and cocktail hour. AGAIN, THE FOOD IS INCREDIBLE. For part of cocktail hour, they had an unused room for my wife and I (and close family) to decompress and enjoy appetizers before getting introduced for the reception. Dinner was incredible too, and it was one of the things that our guests complimented us on the most. THE TORTELLINI. I couldn’t get enough of the tortellini, it’s easily one of my favorite meals of all time. The tiramisu offered is also amazing. We had a wedding cake too, but the tiramisu is so good that you could probably get away with that being the only dessert. This is it, everyone. This is the place where you should have your wedding if you want your guests to have the best classy Chicago experience.
