Explore Chicago venues for a fun corporate party

Corporate party spaces should be classier and well decorated since the event is on the company's dime. What message does the company want to show attendees? That they are valued members of the team worthy of celebration, right? Restaurants are a popular choice; they offer set menus and professional catering in stunning surroundings. Many also run events suitable for team buildings, corporate parties, and other fun company events. Bumper cars, wine tastings, city tours, and boat rides are all appropriate for a corporate party, depending on your organization and what your staff enjoys most.

The best indoor/outdoor party venues in Chicago

Indoor and outdoor party venues have positives and negatives. An indoor party allows guests to remain comfortable regardless of the weather and enjoy luxurious decorations like chandeliers and vintage furniture. Meanwhile, outdoor party venues include cultivated gardens, sunshine, wind, and quieter places for conversations and drinks. But have you thought about a venue that includes both indoor and outdoor elements? Chicago restaurants, cafes, wedding reception halls, rooftop venues, and mansions offer the best of both worlds. Guests can dine, dance, and mingle indoors, only to step outside when they feel like a breath of fresh air. Lakeside venues and rooftop spaces offer unmatched views of Lake Michigan and Chicago's world-famous skyline as well.

Spacious party halls in Chicago

Looking for an event hall that holds hundreds - or even thousands of people? The event and banquet halls of Chicago hotels are where you should begin your search. Chicago hotels are not only spacious but beautiful, with architecture reaching back into the Roaring 20's and earlier. Many have European-inspired architectural twists, luxurious fountains, spas, and floors. Especially the grand ballrooms of downtown party halls like the Hilton Chicago or the Four Seasons Hotel Chicago. Some of these halls can hold up to 1,000 people in a seated or cocktail style arrangement.
