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 place is ideal for big group family or corporate events.

If you are going for an industrial yet intimate vibe, Ovation is the venue for you. From the built in bar to the ceremony and reception spaces separated by an elegant curtain, the venue is made for a seamless experience. They also have a plethora of DJs to match your music taste and an in-house graphic designer to create the digital displays. The leadership is very flexible, too. My sister is a graphic designer and did the graphics for my wedding; the in-house designer assisted her with ensuring everything worked and displayed properly. When we booked the venue, we worked heavily with Spencer. We actually hadn’t moved to Chicago yet when we found the venue, but with our date being one of the few available, we contacted Spencer. He was super receptive, helped coordinate a video tour, and followed up to do an in-person tour after our move to the city. When we saw the venue in person, we were so excited, and it lived up to our expectations. The aesthetic worked so well with our vision. We highly recommend the venue, not only for its vibe, but also for the experience of working with Spencer and his team.

Great venue ... easy access to kitchen ... bar area is great for a live band. Perfect for ca 150 people w dance floor. Of course, choose Hearty Boys Catering 😁👍
