We had our wedding on June 1, 2024 at Halim Time and Glass Museum and I can say with confidence that the wedding venue was unlike any other wedding! It wasn’t the run of the mill country club, the museum has clocks from all over the world and even an Egyptian exhibit with real sarcophagi! Halim was defiantly a unique awesome Venue. We had several wedding guests say that the dinner at Halim was the best wedding food they had ever had! Furthermore, Jessica (wedding coordinator) was extremely timely, helpful and accommodating. I highly recommend having your wedding here! FIVE STARS!

Birthday Party

I live in California, but have family in Chicago. We were planning a first birthday party for our little one in Chicago. Imagine not being there to see the venues or try the catering. However, after some research online, I stumbled upon this beautiful venue. The staff was so helpful and responsive. We would be exchanging emails all day just going over details. They offer so many different menus and are so catering to different diets as well. The day of the event came and the photos just don’t do the space justice. The room is just stunning with the lights and the stained glass. And the staff working the event is just so helpful. The food was absolutely delicious. And the room was set up and available for us to put decor the day before. This place is just stunning. I would recommend it repeatedly.
