We were married just 2 days ago and I could not wait to post this review. We did the all inclusive package with Room 1520 and let me tell you this is absolutely where you want to have your wedding. We had DJ, Photo Booth and day of coordinator included and every single service went above and beyond our expectations. Nicole and Alison helped us make so many important decisions and ensured the day went smooth. We are still on cloud 9. My guests could not stop commenting on how beautiful the venue was. We barely needed decor because this space is so beautiful itself. Thank you for making our day perfect. -

Early on we knew Room 1520 would be our venue of choice for our wedding. The packages they offer for the space and the team that is there to support you the entire day is truly the best of the best in the city of Chicago.
We booked the venue awhile ago when Ashley was the manager and she was so helpful - providing recommendations for other vendors and answering all of our big and small questions. After she left we were beyond excited to know that the venue management duties were being done by the Urban Allure team. Ellie was there with Nicole to support us throughout our wedding day.
The day before we dropped all of our items at the venue and Ellie placed everything perfectly - not once did I think "did they do this?" everything was handled down to every last detail.
Post wedding, all of our items were packed neatly and it was as simple as picking up the boxes and heading out the door. The entire team is great, but the space is also super versatile. It's a big bright space and we designed it in a way that isn't usually done and we got so many compliments on the venue - it was the perfect size and space for our big day! -

I loved working with Ashley throughout my entire planning process. I’ve been in contact with Ashley well before I decided to book the venue. I was back and forth with Room 1520 & another similar venue, but hands down I feel like I made the right decision in the end. I love the white exposed bricks with the chandelier, which was a classy touch. You don’t have to do much with the space because it’s naturally beautiful and that was less work on my planner. The bridal suite is huge and gorgeous! And I loved how we were able to take pictures on the rooftop, which in my opinion are money shots! My only problem with Room 1520 was with the sound system along with the projector. We were unable to play our slideshow during the ceremony 😞 But really other than Room 1520 is a great & unique spot to host an event! -

Once I walked in to Room 1520 I knew I HAD to have our wedding there. We ended up pushing our wedding date back a year because of COVID and they were flexible and accommodating. We did the All In Package and it was 100% worth it. Our vendor team gave 1520 rave reviews, most saying it is one of their favorite venues to work with and I can see why. Ashley was a complete rockstar and was there every step of the way including the day of where she worked her butt off (and even tended bar!). Our guests found the space to be 'magical' and we got so many compliments on finding a 'hidden gem'. Don't sleep on this venue - it is one of a kind! -

Room 1520 was perfect for our wedding day. The front entrance is simply, yet beautifully decorated which eliminated the need for us to add much else to the space. The chandeliers and vintage bar add a touch of elegance to an otherwise "blank canvas". A huge benefit was also having the tables and chairs included in the rental; in which the options were both very stylish and modern. Plus the adorable bridal suite was the perfect place for the to get ready. The empty space was a perfect backdrop for our first look earlier in the day. Ashley helped answer any questions we had leading up to our wedding, coordinated with all of our vendors, helped craft our signature cocktails, and even tended the bar to ensure the evening ran smoothly. We're very happy we chose Room 1520 for our wedding reception! -

A Sent on 07/25/2019Most amazing venue and staff
Room 1520 was the absolute perfect choice for our July 3rd wedding. We got the venue for a steal because we chose a weekday. I loved how everything was in one building from the bridal suite (which is enormous and instagram-worthy), to photos on the rooftop with the city in the background, a bright ceremony in a room that would be flipped for dinner, to cocktail hour by their incredible built in bar and chicly decorated atrium.
The staff that works there is incredible and they never said 'no' to anything I wanted. I worked with Ashley mostly and she was truly the best, it's like having a built in day-of coordinator. My guest raved at how beautiful the venue was and everything went off without a hitch. 10/10 would recommend. -

Lexi Sent on 07/31/2019The Most Beautiful Canvas in All of Chicago!
I have dreamed of having my wedding at Room 1520 after stumbling across it on Instagram - pre engagement. Well my dream came true and I secured a summer wedding at the most breathtaking crisp white canvas in Chicago! The blue furniture, the chiavari chairs, the bar....this venue is straight out of a dream. From day one, working with Ashley was so easy. She was responsive and helpful answering any questions and providing recommendations. As the wedding approached she provided the most delicious batch cocktail options for our signature drinks and the day of the wedding she was even behind the bar serving them up! The day was executed flawlessly and I couldn't have asked for more. Guests raved about how unique and beautiful the venue was. I just hope someday I have a reason to throw another event here! Thank you Room 1520 - you are now home to some of our favorite memories. -

Heather Sent on 10/17/2018Room 1520 is Wonderful!
Highly recommend having your wedding at Room 1520! We had our September wedding there and it was absolutely perfect! The space and bar is gorgeous and they are so flexible with making your vision work! Celeste and Ashley are so nice and professional and so easy to work with. They have a wonderful alcohol selection and will work with you to get whatever signature cocktail or beer/wine you want! They also have a great bridal suite to get ready in and let us come in super early to do hair/makeup with all of my bridesmaids. It was so great to have a space we could all keep our stuff and not worry about it all night. Overall, beautiful space with excellent owner and staff. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! -
Rachel Sent on 12/16/2017We had our October 2017 wedding at Room 1520 and couldn't be happier with how everything went. From the outside its very unassuming (being located in the middle of an industrial neighborhood and all), but the inside is stunning. My now-husband and I knew we wanted a venue that was modern and urban, was unique to Chicago, was located in a quiet area, would let us use whatever vendors we wanted, and was more or less a blank slate for us to decorate as we like, and Room 1520 checked all of those boxes, and more. The built-in bar, huge bridal suite, and rooftop for photos just sealed the deal for us to choose them (it wasn't their fault it poured literally all day on our wedding day so we didn't really get to take advantage of the rooftop!).
Celeste was a dream to work with from our first visit to the big day. She was very quick to answer any questions I sent her way, and was very accommodating of letting us come see the space again whenever we needed to while we were planning. On the day of the wedding she was there early to help direct vendors and even sneakily took a cell phone video of our first look from the back of the room, which she sent me after the wedding, which was a very sweet gesture that we didn't expect.
Room 1520 perfectly suited our minimalist, no-fuss style. The crystal chandeliers and colored uplighting on the white pillars added just the right touch of elegance without being too ornate, and we added some simple string lights and candles to complete the decor. Many of our guests told us how "gorgeous" and "perfect" the space was and we were like, "we know!"
A unique space that can be decorated to suit anyone's taste and any event's theme, we couldn't recommend Room 1520 more. -
