Bethany was very helpful and responsive for our film shoot. Gave us a good amount of space, but was also on site to address any issues along the way, of which we had none thanks to her and the Hive team!
Deb W. booked a bat mitzvah party for 120 people
We love The Hive! Bethany and her team were great to work with and the venue space was amazing. It was a terrific place for a bat mitzvah party - perfect mix of nice and funky/cool. Would plan another event there in a heartbeat!
Jen C. booked an event for 100 people
We truly felt really comfortable planning our wedding at the Hive on Hubbard. Both Bethany and Josh were great to communicate with and they helped make sure that all details were covered, offered advise based on previous events, and coordinated furniture rental. The space is exactly as advertised and even better in person. It’s was spacious enough to host our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. All of our guests were in awe of the romantic, industrial- modern feel. I definitely would recommend this space. Thank you!

The Hive on Hubbard is a gorgeous venue that provides your guests with a wonderful view of the Chicago skyline, especially as the sun sets. While the space is medium to large, it still has a very friendly feel. Our guests smiled as soon as they entered the venue. On the practical side, the ‘bridal suite” was very handy. The kitchen is adequate for caterers, but not a commercial kitchen. The security was very good. Joshua is very helpful and kind to work with, we loved him. As for the owners, they are strictly business over customer service, but Bethany was very helpful and kind when we met with her in person. We did encounter impatience and a lack of cooperation when a problem arose with one of our vendors. And questions inevitably arise, but it was hard to get helpful details or explanations. If you want to use this venue, I recommend you do not go it alone: factor into your budget an event planner as your go-between.

They all wanted to go up to the roof :) Bethany was quick to respond and help us with all of our rentals through Tablescapes. She is kind and professional. We will definitely be recommending it to friends!!
Jonathon Y. booked a wedding reception for 150 people
My (now) wife and I had our wedding and reception here and it was absolutely fabulous. The space is amazing for small/mid sized weddings. We had about 130 people and it was perfect. The space is cozy and has lots of natural light. We also got to do photos on the roof, which has an amazing view of the Chicago skyline, plus we got to wave at all our dancing guests through the big skylight on the roof which was a nice moment. Working with Bethany, Josh, and team was incredible. They are very responsive, very reasonable, and eager to work with you on the details that are important to you. Highly recommend this space, and the team behind it.
