This is one of my favorite venues to work with! Last weekend we had a wedding at Galleria Marchetti and I would like to say thank you to Danielle! She went above and beyond in every aspect throughout the night. Danielle and the Galleria Marchetti team were extremely helpful and flexible in accommodating the requests of our client. As a wedding planner is really important to have the support of the venue through the event, so we appreciate all that this team has to offer. 100% recommended

Galleria Marchetti is the most magical venue there is in Chicago! We had our wedding on May 14th - the weather was perfect, the staff was incredible, the food was rave-worthy. I tear up whenever I think about our big day. Everything was perfect. We worked with Alyssa during planning - I could talk about her work ethic for hours. She is detail-oriented, responsive, flexible, organized and just the absolute sweetest. If we can go back and relive this day, we 100% would. And we wouldn't change a thing! Thank you, Galleria Marchetti, for making our big day as special as can be.

This was a very special occasion. My daughter was competing in a cooking competition and won a $2000 scholarship. The venue was perfect and setup was great. The hosting company LakeSide Bank is absolutely amazing. This was an all women competition for aspiring novice chefs. Such a wonderful event.

A hidden urban oasis that takes you far away from the grit, rust and noise outside it's walls. One of the best wedding venues in Chicago with thoughtful gardens, helpful staff, fantastic food, a retractable roof and countless amazing backdrops for your group, family and couple photos.

Working with Natalie was an absolute dream! My now husband and I booked this as our venue for our -last minute- Chicago wedding and could not have been happier with our choice! The entire Galleria Marchetti team was professional, organized, and really ensured our guests had a great time, which was super important to us as we were one of the first weddings post-Covid. Highly recommend!

Outdoor ceremony with all chairs in direct sunlight so way hot. If the sun didn't make it uncomfortable enough then the Metra train passing directly outside the courtyard every few minutes interrupting the vows, the diesel exhaust fumes and wafts of sewer odor every so often was enough to make me wish they would let us go inside where it was climate controlled. I know some people just love the downtown experience but I would have preferred a more quiet, shaded area with some fans blowing instead the paper ones given to guests to try and stay cool.

Great place for a special event.

This venue is absolutely gorgeous!! Feels like I'm in another country with all the gardens and walls. Very cool with the Metra riding over it as well. I wish it served food to the public because I would love to try their pizza from the wood fired ovens.. Yum! For a special event this should be your place of choice! 😍😋

A beautiful venue for gatherings! I happened to be there for a work corporate event and it was a great space for it. It's a great space for corporate events, gatherings and even special occasions like weddings and birthdays!

wedding in Pavilion at Galleria Marchetti- Even before we got engaged, I knew Galleria Marchetti was my dream venue! It's beautiful, in the heart of the city, has an indoor/outdoor element and an Italian history! Danielle was so responsive, professional and helpful throughout our whole planning process! She is the best! She was able to make my custom late night vision come to life and ensured everything was ran smoothly! We got to have all of our apps in the bridal suite post ceremony for us to enjoy during a quiet moment to just ourselves. There were passed wine and champagne during cocktail hour to alleviate lines at the bar - i don't think there was ever a massive line for guests! We received SO many compliments from our guests about how beautiful the venue is and how delicious all the food was! Truly the best day because of everyone at Galleria Marchetti. I wish we could relive the day! I don't have enough words to express how grateful we are

Galleria Marchetti stands out as one of the best venues in Chicago and is every wedding photographer dream. Its unique blend of urban charm and lush, garden-like surroundings provides a so many stunning backdrops. As wedding photographers we absolutely love shooting here. Galleria Marchetti is perfect for hosting receptions and ceremonies and is the complete package. The greenery and flowers create a natural, serene atmosphere, while the elegant lighting adds a touch of sophistication as the evening progresses. Inside, the Pavilion impresses with its spacious layout and the ability to transform into whatever theme the couple desires. The large windows allow for plenty of natural light, a crucial element for vibrant and lively photographs.

The layout of the venue allows for smooth transitions between different parts of the wedding day, from the ceremony to the reception and cocktail hour. This ease of movement is vital for capturing candid moments and ensures that no special moment goes undocumented. The staff's professionalism and attention to detail are commendable, contributing to a seamless experience for both the wedding party and vendors.

We love photographing here and all our couples rave about Galleria Marchetti!

If you're looking for a place to escape the city without going far. This is the place. Great food, service was wonderful. Complimentary parking. Highly recommend for any venue.

We held our wedding here in September 2022 in La Pergola, which is a beautiful space. Overall we had a great experience working with Alyssa and would recommend this venue. The staff were all professional and food was excellent!

Very pretty venue for special events. Good food too!

Great place for an event. Excellent food and staff. The courtyard was awsome.

Beautiful place, clean, roomy, nice outdoor area

I cannot say enough about Galleria Marchetti. We rented La Pergola for my daughter’s wedding and it was the perfect size for the 109 guests. The food was so efficiently presented and tasted amazing. Everyone commented on that. Usually mass prepared food is just so-so. These meals were delicious. The staff was incredible and so good at their jobs, as well as friendly and welcoming. Danielle, our contact person, was so patient and easy to work with. Small complaint was that we requested some non-alcoholic beer to be added to the bar offerings, which was quickly agreed to, but didn’t actually show up the night of the wedding. Small potatoes compared to how incredible everything else was.

Galleria Marchetti is a gorgeous venue, and their team is top notch. From beginning to end, they are professional, courteous, and talented. Their location is stunning, with the small exception of the L train occasionally running right past the courtyard where we held our ceremony (though this is to be expected in downtown Chicago). We loved the indoor-outdoor flow of the space (Pavilion/Courtyard). Their catering and bar teams are exceptional, and they have tons of delicious add-ons if you want some special treats for your guests - we chose to include a late night flaming doughnut station and taco station. The venue also allows you to stay later than most, so if you want a late night dance floor this is a perfect option. As a note, there is a very small, cozy bridal suite with some chairs and a vanity. It is likely not enough room to actually do the entire process of getting ready, and you typically don't have super early access to the venue to do that anyway. But it was a perfect private spot to get away for a dress change and some make-up/hair touch-ups throughout the night. Overall, would very highly recommend if it is in your budget!

Perfect setting with excellent service! Our daughter was married this past June in the courtyard of the Pavilion and the reception was held in the tent. The courtyard was absolutely gorgeous! The tent was lovely with lighting and drapes provided by MDM. Alyssa at GM was a star! She answered every one of our far too many questions with a smile and guided us every step of the way. We received so many compliments about the lovely setting, food, and service. I wouldn't hesitate to book another function at Galleria Marchetti. The flexibility of options including meal selections, appetizers, upgraded drink package, s'mores station and late night pizza allowed us to create an evening that was completely personalized. Alyssa, thank you for helping to make it an unforgettable celebration!
