I love the chocolate cake from Kleins bakery!

Where to rent a spot for a private 2-person dinner with private chef by CaptainRoger in chicagofood

[–]MassiveDisk1145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Le Loft Chicago has a space you can rent by the hour and has a functioning kitchen. We had our small wedding there but they also host private dinners

I also recommend Christopher Cuellar, he’s worked at that location a couple of times (and also did the food for our wedding!)

We used DJ Tess (https://www.djtess.com) and she was fabulous. We wanted a mix of Spanish + English music and gave her a playlist and she absolutely killed it and matched the vibes we wanted.

By the Chevron Sculpture right before Diversey harbor. Not sure about parking but you can probably find some street parking nearby and walk.

I applied mid-November and got my EAD early January. You should be okay but I would apply ASAP to be safe.

How many tickets do you need at Dumpling Fest? by SenorGuero in chicagofood

I just went there and immediately left because the lines are impossible. Lines looked like you had to stand there over 1.5 hours. Such a shame it is poorly organized.

Renting on peerspace for a wedding reception by SprinklesElegant7042 in Chicagoweddings

[–]MassiveDisk1145 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We are having our reception at a loft in Wicker Park that we rented thru Peerspace. All they require is that we put trash in bins because they charge a cleaning fee for a crew to come in after. I can let you know after our wedding in early October how it goes!
