Salon 61 Private Events — Local services in Chicago

Salon 61 is an absolute gem of a venue! The space is gorgeous, and the food was fantastic. Liz was a dream to work with! She was quick to respond and incredibly accommodating.

We hosted our daughter’s first birthday here, and it was nothing short of perfect. And let’s talk about the food! Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the food, especially the chicken! We’ve all been to events where the chicken is dry and forgettable, but here, both the chicken and the steak were total standouts. Weeks later, friends and family were still asking where everything was catered from. We chose family style service but they offer plated service and food stations as well.

Liz was also very flexible with me and the decor. She was cool with adding my custom food cards to the appetizer platters and even transforming one of the bar areas (normally used for glassware) into a charming little “gift shop” for our guests.

The entrance to the venue features an iconic bright blue door. It's such a unique detail that makes it easy for your guests to spot the venue.

Salon 61 is a must-see for anyone looking to host something unforgettable. I've attached photos for reference!

Thank you, Liz and the LEY family, for making our...

We recently hosted our wedding ceremony and reception at Salon 61, and we truly couldn’t have made a better choice! My husband and I are big fans of Lettuce Entertain You, and Salon 61 absolutely lived up to the reputation. The venue is not only stunning, but the food and service were exceptional.

Throughout the planning process, Liz and Gianna were incredible! They were always communicative, organized, and so helpful in coordinating with our Day-of-Coordinator. On the day itself, the entire Salon 61 staff was attentive and professional. A special shoutout to Ryan, our server at the family head table, and Grace, our bartender, for going above and beyond!

Our guests couldn’t stop raving that this was the best wedding food they’ve ever had, and we couldn’t agree more. Since Salon 61 used to be a nightclub, their built-in sound system was also top-notch, making the celebration even better.

We can’t recommend Salon 61 highly enough! Whether you’re planning a wedding, birthday party, or corporate event, this space is an absolute gem. Thank you to the entire team for making our wedding day so memorable...

I recently hosted an event at Salon 61, and I truly cannot say enough good things about the experience. From start to finish, the team demonstrated exceptional attention to detail that made all the difference. Every aspect of the planning process felt personalized and thoughtful, with the staff consistently going above and beyond to ensure everything was exactly as we envisioned.

Communication was seamless — they were incredibly responsive to every question, no matter how big or small, and always made us feel like a priority. Their flexibility and willingness to accommodate last-minute changes really stood out and took so much stress off the process.

I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a venue that combines professionalism, responsiveness, and a genuine commitment to making your...
