Venue Spotlight: Morgan Manufacturing

If you’re always on the lookout for unique and non-traditional event spaces, you will definitely want to check out Morgan Manufacturing. The venue is like no other in Chicago, designed around a concept of modularity and industrial elegance — offering many creative capabilities to bring your wildest concepts to reality.

With 32,000 square feet of space, Morgan Manufacturing is Chicago’s leading production location for film, television and all sorts of private events. The venue is located in the hip Fulton Market neighborhood and gives guests an opportunity to create unique experiences in a historic factory setting. 

The event space is comprised of multiple rooms that can be rented separately or together depending on the size of your guest list — from an intimate gathering of 200 to an astounding 1,000 guests for cocktails! Guests will be impressed and intrigued by the stunning eight foot tall custom “bike chain chandeliers,” skylights, and three story performance area. Refurbished and reclaimed materials are what give this venue its unique vintage charm.

Chicago Venues We Love: Artifact Events

There are so many Chicago venues we love, and this week we sat down with Christine Lund, the general manager of Artifact Events. Christine told us all about why people would host an event at the space, things to keep in mind when booking, and other unique aspects of the venue and Ravenswood neighborhood in which it resides!

Q: What events typically take place in this venue?

A: We handle mostly weddings, then social and nonprofit events and lastly corporate.  

Weddings have a longer lead time. In the summer, we see less of a “wedding season” with more happening throughout the rest of the year. Corporate events have more of a set time each year when they usually occur (ex. Summer, holiday, etc.).
