Mocambo Ballroom for Production

Great space! Very interesting history. Willie was great! Very helpful, accommodating and pleasant! It was nice because we catered from thier restaurant that is attached 👍

This place is a real gem. Turn of the century ballroom with lots of character. and what's best it's backed up by a team who are super helpful, service-oriented, and flexible. I found the Secret Ballroom when my original venue canceled on me 7 days before the party. They took care of catering, accommodated a DJ and a nice AV system, helped set up a bar for us, and mostly made the night a joy for every guest we had. I'll be back again!

This was an amazing venue, a hidden gem in the Pilsen neighborhood. William and his family were great host and made sure to be of services at any point we needed it. I appreciate their hospitality and care for our event. I look forward to many more events in this amazing space.

This was an amazing, unique location for our bachelorette party! We loved everything about it. We were able to plug in music to their overhead system, dance all over the place, and be rowdy all in the safety of one private location due to COVID. Both hosts were SO willing to help with anything we needed. I was able to text them before and during the event, and they always responded promptly or literally came running to help. It was awesome. While there is no AC, but that was compensated with a huge garden fan and they provided lots of ice. Just pay attention to the weather and maybe bring more fans if it's a hot day. We will definitely keep this space in mind for other large events.

This place is amazing the pictures don't do it justice. The vintage aesthetics and vibes of the place are something else. Willie was always a great host and was always there in case we needed something. He made sure we knew that the place was ours for the day. I shot a music video here, still haven't edited it yet but I am sure it's going to turn out great. I would definitely come back and rent this place for a future event.

This space was amazing and Willie was a great host! He was very helpful with anything that needed to be taken care of. The space itself was perfect and it's definitely endless for creativity.

Everyone did a great Job. The host made us feel very comfortable and was very attentive with everything throughout our shoot. Even though I booked it last minute everything turned out great.

I rented Mocambo Ballroom in January 2021 for an all day commercial video shoot. The space is breathtaking, a sprawling early 1900s ballroom with most of the original character and fixtures. It is located on the second floor of the building, so moving gear and lights into the space was very simple as you only have to climb one staircase. Entryways and stairs were all very wide so no issue with larger gear. The host provided maks and sanitation supplies. The space was extremely clean and tidy. All furniture, including couches for talent and tables for craft services, were on locking wheels so we were able to move everything around to make space for different scenes easily. What we loved most about the space is it's versatility, we were able to create multiple scenes using different areas of the space and transform it into our dream set. Finding a space this large in the city is very rare so we felt lucky to have found it! The host was very attentive and hospitable to all our needs. He was a wonderful host and available all day and days before the shoot to answer any and all questions that we had. I could not recommend this space more! For any creatives, this is an absolute dream space in the city!
