Read moreIf you’re looking for a venue for your wedding or next big party your search stops here. When it comes to things that stand out at any party, a great venue is at the top of the list. That’s why there is no better place to host an event than the RiverRoom at Burning Bush Brewery. It’s the modern look of bridal suite, the refined industrial look of the event space, and the beautiful views of the Chicago river through the glass garage door that make this place an exceptional event space for any function. After our wedding the one thing everyone seemed to mention was how beautiful this venue was. Multiple people reached out asking for information on the venue so they could book big birthday celebrations, work parties, and retirement parties (So make sure you book soon! This place is popping off!) The venue is truly a one of a kind gem that is certainly budget friendly. And did I mention they have awesome beer? Although the venue is amazing and really sells itself, this place would be nothing without the AMAZING event staff. Adam Boor is hands down the best event manager in the business. He will always put you first and does whatever it takes to make your event truly special. His communication was always prompt and his attention to detail was second to none. Whatever the task at hand we felt that Adam went above & beyond and we really couldn’t have asked to work with anyone better. True professional and...
Read moreLong overdue review for our wedding in autumn 2024 - and there's so much to say! The River Room caught our eye from the very start of our venue search, and even though we toured multiple spaces after the RR, there was never even a competition.
Monica was super helpful throughout the process and served as a wonderful point of contact with any inquiries we had about set up, tech, logistics, and the area. She was also super flexible with our day-of timeline and helped everything run smoothly.
The space itself is stunning, but also provides a more down-to-earth atmosphere. We loved that the space allowed for flexibility on an indoor/outdoor ceremony if the weather changed for the worse. And we're also just suckers for exposed brick. They also had an incredible in-house sound system that made it easy for our DJ to streamline their set up. The location was also great for party photos, since it sits right across from a beautiful park with gorgeous sightlines.
We loved that the drink package included options from their in-house brewery and a free tasting to determine the menu. Lots of fun options for every taste.
We cannot reccommend the River...
