We got married this past June at Company 251 and our entire experience from start to finish was absolutely amazing. The Co251 team was so helpful and responsive throughout the entire planning process. Rachel Adams, our point of contact, was incredible at answering all our questions, communicating all details and financials with us, and accommodating all of our requests and customizations. Our day-of coordinator, Maureen, was super friendly and professional. She truly ensured the day went off without a hitch and kept my husband and I stress free. It was a dream to work with Rachel and Maureen. We loved every aspect of Co251. The interior design of the space is classy and timeless--it doesn't need extra décor at all, really, but easily supports any design or flair you want to add. The menu was expansive and customizable. The food was delicious, the wait staff was great, and the bartenders were so friendly and fun. Our guests were raving about the venue all night! We could not recommend this venue enough and feel so lucky to have chosen Company 251 for our special day. -

I cannot say enough good things about Co. 251. When looking through the many wedding websites, I had a feeling this was the venue where I would want my wedding to take place. I honestly didn’t have to go further than the first floor to be completely sold during the initial tour. The venue had the exact look I was going for – elegant and modern. The white brick and ceilings, the dark floors, and the gold accents in the lighting all give it a very classy art-deco feel. You can then take the elevator, which I was absolutely obsessed with, to the second floor for the dining. The natural wood floors give this space so much character. The high quality tables they use, again with all of the accents, gives the space a very warm feeling. And while guests are not allowed on the 4th floor, you can take some incredible photos up there! Aside from the venue itself, the food is incredible. When I found out Moveable Feast is the company that prepares the food, I knew I had to have my wedding here. My main goal for the wedding was to provide our guests with great food, drinks, and dancing. Co. 251 hit the ball out of the park with the food and drinks! I’ve received so many compliments from guests raving about the appetizers and their meal. And lastly, the people. You can have an amazing venue but really crappy service, which ultimately can ruin your experience, but that is not the case for Co. 251. Rachel, who handles the contract and the behind-the-scenes logistics was amazing. She was very responsive and was very accommodating when I wasn’t too keen on the wine options for the Tier 2 drink package (I will say, their house wine is incredible! I was very pleasantly surprised and very much enjoyed it during dinner). Lastly, but certainly not least, is Beverly, the day-of coordinator. I absolutely love and adore her. Half the reason I’m sad the wedding is over is because I won’t get to see her anymore! Beverly was my fairy godmother leading up to and on the day of the wedding. Anything I may have wanted or needed, Beverly was sure to make it happen. She made sure I had food to eat during the cocktail hour and worked seamlessly with my wedding planner. She was professional and respectful, as she didn’t want to step on my wedding planners toes (my wedding planner absolutely loved Beverly and loved working with her). To any bride looking at venues in the Western suburbs, I highly recommend looking at Co. 251. It is such a hidden gem. A venue like this in the city will cost you easily $20k+ more. You definitely get what you pay for here and I don’t think you will be disappointed. -

Company 251 was our dream venue. From the clean white walls to the perfectly designed floor plans, we couldn’t have been happier. If you are looking for a wedding venue that wows your guests, this would be the one! The ceremony space is beautiful, intimate, and elegant. With a grand piano on site, you are able to make use of it, or simply have it as a stunning piece for photos.
The bridal suite and groom suite were perfect for our bridal party and helped us calm our nerves before saying “I do.” Getting to spend that extra time with your family and friends really helps!
The food was phenomenal, the bartenders knew how to get everyone to party, and our coordinator Beverly did a great job managing the entire evening to make sure everything went smoothly!
Overall, our experience was a 10/10. Everyone seemed to have a fantastic time and we were thrilled with the outcome of it all. We recommend Company 251 to any and all! Cheers! -

Best day ever!
Company 251 gave us the wedding of our dreams and then some. We couldn’t of been more pleased with how everything turned out. We worked with Abbie and she was such a huge help along the way. Always there answering any questions and guiding us throughout the process!
The food was absolutely out of this world - we received so many compliments on how great it was. Served fast and hot!
And the venue itself is so dreamy. Everything about the space is so beautiful and special. We could not have imagined our big day anywhere else!! -

I honestly do not know where to start! HANDS DOWN- Company 251 venue and team made our wedding day a literal dream come true.
The venue is just gorgeous from head to toe (even the bathrooms :) The food is AMAZING - everyone could not stop raving about the vibe, decor , staff and food the entire night and still a month later.
THE STAFF- I can go on all day but I will say EVERYONE is so fantastic! HUGE SHOUTOUT AND THANK YOU TO ABBIE- she's the best and made planning and unfortunately postponing our wedding (AND out of state I might add) the smoothest it could have possibly been. She was so thoughtful, responsive, accommodating and just a beautiful person inside and out!
We are beyond blessed to have had our big day everything we imagined and more! Ladies and Gentleman you will not regret having your wedding here!! -

I got married at Co 251 on 8.13.21. My wedding was seriously an absolute dream. Everything about our big day was seamless & flawless. The venue itself is just beyond perfection. The wedding/catering coordinators & staff went above & beyond for us on our big day! Abbie (& Maddie) were so organized & so on point with each and every detail & quite honestly knocked it out of the park! I could not have asked for better staff & service! The Co 251 team honestly couldn't not have done a better job! The catering from moveable feast was phenomenal! Highly recommend!! If you want a seamless beautiful and amazing wedding or event you definitely need to use Co 251 & Moveable Feast!! I cannot say enough great things about them both! I am still getting calls & texts from our guests just raving about our wedding! Like I said... HIGHLY RECOMMEND -

I cannot recommend this venue highly enough! They were absolutely amazing and I could not have been more happy with my dream wedding here! Emily, Abbie and Madison were so great to work with during the planning process and they answered all of my questions/emails making sure that all of my needs/desires were met. On the day of the wedding, Madison went above and beyond to coordinate with vendors and make sure everything was perfect so I didn’t have to worry about a thing! The staff was amazing, the food was incredible, and I didn’t have a single issue the entire day! I have gotten nothing but positive feedback from all of my guests about the amazing food, venue and experience that they had here! -

The Space: Company 251 was the first venue I toured after I got engaged and I knew it was where I had to get married! The space is so, so beautiful on its own, but also served as a good blank slate for all of our decor. We loved the sophisticated, yet industrial vibe. It was exactly what we were looking for and every little corner photographs so well! Having access to the entire building for the whole day really made it feel like it was our space. So many of our guests commented on how beautiful the space was and that it was one of their favorite venues they had been to.
Staff: Emily and Abbie made planning from a distance such a breeze and were an absolute dream to work with. Seriously, I can not speak highly enough about them. They made the day of our wedding so stress-free and helped coordinate all the vendors. I barely had to lift a finger and was so grateful for their expertise. I probably sent a couple emails every week for three of four months and they were quick to respond, so patient, and super helpful throughout the entire process. They were also very flexible and willing to do whatever they could to help easy my anxiety. The day-of staff was also fantastic! Our guests were very happy with the service they received during cocktail hour and dinner and said all staff was very helpful in addressing questions and concerns.
Food: Dinner was a hit! Several guests commented that it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding. They were so easy to work with when it came to food allergies and dietary restrictions too.
Overall: If I could give them ten starts, I absolutely would! Everything was perfect and truly made our day the best ever. I would suggest paying for early access to the venue so you can get ready in the bridal suite on-site. Our hair and makeup team loved it and it was SO great to have everything in one location. Book your wedding here, you will not regret it! -

This venue is the complete package. Not only is the venue unique, modern, rustic, minimal, and breath-taking - but their catering company, Moveable Feast Co., is some of the best tasting food I have ever had. One of our biggest compliments from our guests was how unique the venue was and the food! Company 251 made our lives so easy this past year and worked with all of our vendors to make our day run as smooth as possible. Emily and Chrissy were incredible to work with throughout the planning process! It was the best day of our lives and we are forever grateful to have found this gem. It is pure magic. -

When we first walked into Co251, we knew instantly that it was the place where we would start our forever. Yes, the space is absolutely GORGEOUS - literally all of my Pinterest dreams come to life, and the food is beyond AMAZING - everyone commented that it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding, but the phenomenal staff is what sets Co251 ahead of any other space we toured. Emily was our event coordinator and she was absolutely fantastic. She was so prompt with communication and so patient and helpful (even to the point of helping this less creative couple create delicious signature drinks). The staff during the event was top notch. Our guests raved over how good the food was and the helpfulness of the service staff. Our vendors from out of state all commented on how they wish there was a Co251 in their home towns. We are so thrilled that we chose Company 251. Their attention to detail does not go unnoticed and I can 100% say they helped us achieve the wedding of our dreams. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Truthfully, it was everything and more. -

Jordan B. Sent on 05/28/2021Company 251 is the PERFECT venue!
To put it lightly, I am obsessed with Company 251! I live in NYC but wanted to get married near where I grew up in Illinois. After looking at venues in the suburbs and Chicago, there was only one that felt right, Co251! My husband and I loved the industrial, high-end and neutral space of Company 251. The venue is SO spacious and every aesthetic detail is gorgeous (lots of amazing spots for photos!). Being a Covid bride, we had to postpone our date 3 times and Emily and the team at Co251 were there to help in any way they could. The team is organized, friendly and made our special day that much more perfect. And of course, I can't forget to mention how amazingly delicious the food is from Moveable Feast. I personally have so many dietary restrictions and the team created a special meal just for me that was amazing! Our guests had a wonderful time and were raving about how beautiful the space is. I can't recommend this venue enough. If you are looking for the perfect wedding venue or event space, look no further than Co251. Thank you! -

Excellent experience
We were first drawn to this venue by the beauty of the building, but after working with Emily and her staff we were extremely thrilled we found this treasure to hold my daughter’s wedding reception! Emily and company were easily accessible, flexible, accommodating and amazing to work with! The food received fantastic reviews from our guests, the site was beautiful and we appreciated Emily helping us to decorate according to our wishes, and the entire staff was very helpful. Our only disappointment is that it was over too quickly! We highly recommend Company 251! ( We even had guests wanting to book future events there as well!) -
