Ovation Chicago - Chicago, Illinois

Paige M.

We recently celebrated our wedding at Ovation, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the start, the team at Ovation (Nicole & Cydnei) displayed a high level of professionalism, handling every detail with care and attention. They were responsive, organized, and truly dedicated to ensuring that our day went smoothly.

The venue itself is stunning, offering a beautiful blend of elegance and charm that set the perfect backdrop for our special day. One standout touch was the vintage car they provided for us to drive in and take photos with—it added such a unique, romantic element that our guests loved.

Speaking of guests, everyone had an incredible time! Devin created an atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable. We had so many people that said they couldn’t stop dancing.The Ovation team was on top of every detail, from the setup to the flow of the evening. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience and would highly recommend Ovation to anyone looking for a venue that’s professional, stylish, and truly dedicated to making your day memorable.

This might be the one !!!!!! Great location, same owner as the Green Loft…. But larger and more elegant. Great ambience. The package here is more appealing , the AV screens are large and just tasteful… it has a piano already , as we were thinking of hiring a string quartet with piano for cocktail hour and the package includes Photo Booth and a Rolls Royce to be used by the couple for a 30 minute ride post ceremony, then they park to allow for pictures for guest etc. We like this one. Held a date , but two more before we decide ❤️❤️❤️❤️the excitement is building!!!!

Ovation is BUILT to be the perfect wedding venue in Chicago!The space seamlessly transitions from one part of the day to the next, all while guests enjoy themselves. The unique architecture allows couples to be flexible with their decor, whether they choose to go all out or have minimal pieces. Easy parking, great staff, and the best DJs in town are included! I can't wait to photograph more weddings here in the future.

We knew that Ovation was the perfect venue for our wedding from the moment we stepped inside. The space is welcoming, well thought out, and versatile. There is so much included that adds to Ovation's value!

Spencer and his team are responsive and provide a wealth of information that makes planning events easier.

Ovation looks beautiful without any added decor, so anything else added to the space goes even further. The built-in buffet table is perfect for a quick and organized way to feed many guests. The curtain system allowed us to section off areas for different phases of the evening (ceremony, cocktail hour, reception) and allowed our photographer to make great use of the space for portraits.

The televisions and projector really allowed us to cut down on printed materials and made seating a breeze! Ovation's graphic designer, Brian, made sure that everything displayed aligned with our vision and the design on our invitations.

Style Matters DJ Duke was phenomenal. He met with us before our wedding to understand our vision and his execution was perfect. We were thrilled with the professional sound system--it ensured we had no issues with microphones during the ceremony or speeches.

The included photo booth was a real hit with everyone and has given us all special photos that we will cherish for a lifetime. Our guests also thoroughly enjoyed Ovation's game room, which is perfect for kids or anyone who doesn't favor a dance floor. We had fun doing a photoshoot in Ovation's Rolls Royce out in front of the venue before the ceremony. We appreciated the option to ride in it between the ceremony and reception, but opted to use that time to inhale appetizers up in the green room instead 🙂

We are so happy with how everything went and cannot recommend Ovation (and Spencer and his team) enough!

I am writing this a whopping one year later after our wedding. Today is our anniversary and as we look back on photos, it truly was SUCH a gem! This was the first venue we toured back in June of 2022 and we of course wanted to lock it in for our May 2023 wedding. Everything was wonderful! Spencer and his team were so on top of everything that I never really felt nervous or uneasy on our big day. They have such great amenities included in the price as well! The only regret I have is that we ourselves did not take a picture in the photo booth!! But we loved getting a digital copy of everyone else's! 😂. Truly look no further!! They will help make your vision come to life! We were able to walk down the aisle to 2 different songs with a string quartet and piano. It doesn't get better than that!

Our Fox + Ivory team loves shooting weddings at Ovation! The helpful friendly staff and amazing open venue make weddings amazing! From the classic Rolls Royce for photos to the built in photobooth and DJ they have it all! We look forward to working with the Ovation team in the years ahead.

I’ve completely forgotten to review but ran across my wedding invites 3 years later and it brought back such lovely memories of this special day we had at Ovation! Spencer and the entire crew absolutely went above and beyond with our experience and genuinely had such an amazing time celebrating at their venue
