Lacuna Events by LM is a one of a kind event venue located in Chicago. Established in 1897, this expansive 250,000 square-foot property was once the world’s largest macaroni factory. The space has since been expertly restored and offers couples an ideal location to celebrate their union in style.
This five-story venue offers a range of options for your upcoming wedding celebrations. Lacuna’s spacious Skydeck, with sweeping views of the Chicago skyline, is a picturesque backdrop to exchange your “I Do’s” and share cocktails with your guests in the warmer months.
The newly renovated Magik Street, located on the first floor, is the ideal space to gather for cocktails in the colder months. The space includes a restaurant style show kitchen, custom bar and a landscaped deck with gas fire pits.
Indoors, Lacuna offers two separate events spaces perfect for any celebration. The first floor Reverie Gallery, featuring a salvaged shipping container bar, hand crafted cedar bench seating and abundant eclectic charm, can accommodate up to 350 for a seated reception.

We are still receiving compliments from our guests about how amazing this venue was. We had our ceremony on the Sky Deck, cocktail hour in Magik Street and reception in Reverie Gallery. I went very simple (only candles as decor) because this venue already has so much to offer! They were so easy for all of our vendors to work with, and their catering company provided amazing food. Highly recommend checking this venue out!

We got married on the 5th floor Galleria Space in March 2025 and absolutely loved our wedding. Where to even start? For the year leading up to our wedding after we chose Lacuna, their coordinator was amazingly responsive to all of our questions. She helpfully walked us through the entire process from start to end so we had a great gameplan going in. On the day of, the entire staff make it happen on schedule without a single problem.
The venue itself is beautiful and looked amazing the day of. It is very easy for guests to arrive to and navigate once they are there. The food is through the venue and it's delicious--you can tell it's cooked on site the day of the wedding.
Lastly, I want to mention the value of the place. I was shocked at the the price we were charged for the quality of the venue compared to other wedding venues in Chicago. Absolute top notch venue with food, coordination and day of logistics and they charge a lot less than some other venues we looked at that I considered to be in the same category. Highly recommend a wedding at Lacuna Lofts!

I can’t say enough good things about Lacuna! My wife and I had our wedding ceremony and reception at Lacuna in April 2024. When our original planner was unable to see our wedding through to the end we were understandably concerned, but then we met Emily and all of our fears were swept away. We could not have been more pleased with the time and attention Emily gave to us to help us turn our wedding dreams into a reality! The entire staff went above and beyond every step of the way leading up to the big day. The day of the wedding was quite hectic because of the weather, but the staff at Lacuna did everything they could to ensure we were able to have our rooftop ceremony as planned. I think the staff took down, set up and wiped off the chairs at least 4 times because of the rain.
I wish I could have seen our guests faces once they stepped onto the rooftop and took in the stunning views for the first time. Not only are the views breathtaking, but you also have artwork all over the venue that is mesmerizing. The food, drinks and service were top notch and we were so sad to see the night end. It’s been almost a year since we had our wedding at Lacuna and we are consistently getting positive feedback from our guests and people who saw our photos from the wedding.
We have recommended Lacuna to many couples and have our guests share that they also have recommended the venue to others as well. If I could do it all again, I would choose Lacuna Lofts 100% of the time! Many thanks to everyone at Lacuna who made our wedding absolutely the wedding of our dreams!

We loved our wedding at Lacuna Lofts! The space was exactly what we were looking for and the cocktail hour had the most amazing views of the city. The food from LM catering was delicious, and going through Binny’s for alcohol was really nice. A special shoutout to our excellent event manager Emily, who went above and beyond to make everything run smoothly and maintained great communication throughout the experience. We are so happy we went with Lacuna, would highly recommend.

My (now!) husband, Nico, and I, got married at Lacuna Lofts on Friday, July 12th, 2024. I used to be a wedding planner, and my husband is a Chef, so when we were looking for a wedding venue and caterer, we were not going to settle for anything less than amazing and that is exactly what we found in Lacuna Lofts and LM Catering. We saw about 15 venues across Chicago in different neighborhoods - Lacuna Lofts was our last site tour. As soon as I walked in, met Tania and saw the space, I knew this was the perfect place for us to say I do!
Tania made the entire process from walking through the door on that first site visit, to picking up a few last things after our big day absolutely flawless, personal, organized and so much fun. Tania and her team left no detail overlooked and made us feel so special throughout the entire process - she is truly a master at her craft.
On top of that, the venue itself is absolutely amazing and one of a kind. From breathtaking rooftop views of an unobstructed city skyline, to a choice from a fun/funky or romantic/rustic reception space and murals throughout the building that are perfect for photos of any aesthetic.
As if it couldn't get better, the food was also amazing! Obviously, with Nico being a chef, we had a lot of industry people on our guest list, and got so many compliments about the food and service.
We could not be more grateful to Tania and the entire Lacuna Lofts and LM Catering team for making our day and the entire process an absolute dream. I asked Nico if we could do it all over again, but still working on getting him to agree on that one...lol
If you are looking for a one of a kind venue, with an absolutely amazing team that will help you make your dream day come true, this is your place. We are forever grateful to Tania and the entire team.

Emily B. and the team at Lacuna Lofts did a fantastic job! They made the daunting task of planning a wedding virtually stress-free. They were very quick to respond and transparent throughout the entire process.
Our guests absolutely loved the venue and raved about the food. The rooftop with skyline view was breathtaking, and La Galleria provided enough space yet felt intimate and cozy. We can't recommend Emily and Lacuna enough!

Choosing Lacuna for our day was easily the best decision we could have made. From the fair, straightforward pricing to the fact that every dollar spent went towards something of quality, the entire experience was incredible. Also - the food. Oh my goodness, the food. Best wedding food you’ll ever eat, without a doubt. 15/10.
Specifically, we want to give a shout-out to our amazing venue and catering coordinator, Tania Paez. Planning a wedding can definitely be stressful, but working with Tania specifically made the process feel like a breeze. She was so attentive to our emails (as random as they sometimes were), every question, every concern, and even completely flipped the ceremony setup with less than a day’s notice because our vision shifted slightly. She is so personable, so honest, and was the best guide as we worked through the process.
The space itself, of course, is also a dream. From the beautiful wooden farm tables to the cafe lights (we used La Galleria, which is the smaller upstairs space), from having our cocktail hour on the gorgeous rooftop overlooking the skyline to having the room flip take place with such efficient ease. The wedding suite was the perfect size for our party, and from start to finish, Tania and the LM Team couldn’t have been more accommodating, helpful, patient, or kind.
Book with Lacuna - I promise you, it’ll be one of the best decisions you could possibly make for your beautiful day!

Tania and the staff at Lacuna Lofts are absolutely amazing! Not only did they make our special day incredible, but they made getting to the big day so seamless and stress free. Tania is also just the best person you can be working with. She's an expert in this space, has THE best recommendations, and is just a kind human overall.
I cannot recommend them as your venue and food vendor enough. And, on that note, the food was AMAZING! So many guests reached out afterwards to let me know that it was some of the best wedding food they've had.
All in all, I would rate them at 15/10 and wouldn't have changed a single thing.

Words cannot even begin to express how grateful and thankful my husband and I were to have Tania throughout our wedding planning process! She truly made the experience so easy, not stressful, and fun! Tania was by far the best communicator and vendor that I worked with throughout our whole wedding planning process! She was super sweet and was extremely helpful when answering any questions that me and my husband had. We truly couldn’t be more thankful of choosing Lacuna Events by LM because of Tania!!! Our most important day went flawlessly thanks to Tania and the rest of the staff. We had endless compliments on the venue, food, and service. I will be recommending this venue to everyone because of Tania and how amazing she made this process for us!!! It truly was everything my husband and I could have ever wanted for our wedding and more. If you are trying to choose a venue, we HIGHLY recommend Lacuna Events because Tania is the absolute best and will make your wedding dreams come true!!!

We loved Lacuna so so much, it made our wedding so special! All our guests could not stop talking about how much they loved it and how cool/beautiful it is! We had 180 guests but you can definitely fit way more people on the rooftop and the reception area! The rooftop was perfect for the ceremony and cocktail hour, especially with the amazing view of the city skyline. We had our reception in the Reverie and it was amazing! Perfect layout and space. Plenty of room for the dance floor and it's right by the bar so easy for guests to grab a drink and go back to dancing!

We are so grateful to have had our wedding at Lacuna Lofts! The sky deck was the perfect outdoor space for our ceremony and cocktail hour, with the Chicago skyline as the backdrop. We had our reception in La Galleria, which was the modern industrial vibe we were looking for. We also got tons of positive feedback from our guests on the venue and on the food from Lacuna’s catering group, LM. We can’t thank the team at Lacuna enough for their assistance, diligence, and organization throughout the entire planning process! Tania always answered all of our questions (no matter how trivial!). We couldn’t have had the amazing day we had without her support and guidance. The staff at Lacuna was an integral part of making our wedding day so memorable!

Lacuna was the PERFECT place to have our wedding. Emily was incredible to work with, so patient with all our questions, gave great advice about how to use the venue for exactly the vibe that we wanted, and everything turned out great. The sun was setting during our cocktail hour on the roof, and let me tell you — perfection. We got lots of compliments on the food, and the Galleria room looked amazing decorated and set. Being able to bring in our own alcohol from Binnys made this so much more affordable than other places we looked at which was a huge plus. I’d recommend this venue to anyone!

We had our wedding at Lacuna Lofts and it was more than we could have asked! The venue is so fun and unique! We had a lot of guests coming from all over the world and it was a pleasure showing off Chicago on the Sky deck! We worked with both Tania and Abbe and have nothing but good things to say! Abbe was our onsite venue host during our wedding day. As one can imagine the stress of pulling off a 200- person wedding, Abbe was 100000% there for me. I honestly don't know what I would have done without her. She saw so many opportunities to help and took lead when needed. Even though her job wasn't to "coordinate" my wedding, she basically picked up when she saw any lack of help. She is so attentive and organized. From the start I had so much trust in this venue. We are so thrilled to have Lacuna Lofts as part of our continued love story.

Lacuna Lofts was the perfect venue! My now husband and I live just a few blocks away, so having our wedding there was really special. Emily B. is such a light and always responded to my questions within 24 hours or less. She made each decision so easy every step of the way when it came to the space, the food, and the setup. I loved that we were able to bring things over to the venue the day before the wedding. Our guests talked non stop about how good the food was (LM Catering owns the venue, which made selecting food SO easy), and the BYOB option saved us thousands compared to other bar packages we looked at around the city. We brought our maid of honor and best man to our wedding tasting and had an absolute blast with Emily! Despite the 90+ degree heat on our wedding day, we had our ceremony outside with incredible views of the skyline. I’ll cherish those photos forever! Emily reached out about the heat the week of and we ultimately decided to have cocktail hour downstairs in the “Magik Street” room. I’m so grateful we decided to do this! Our guests stayed cool and also got to check out the amazing bar and indoor/outdoor space separated by a garage door which still allowed that outdoor feel. Our reception was held in La Galleria which was STUNNING and our guests loved the windows with views of the city all around the room. It was the perfect size for 140 guests and helped create the intimate feel we wanted. The string lights are perfect with the industrial/brick vibe and looked great in the photos. We got so many compliments throughout the night on all things venue and food! I can’t recommend Lacuna enough!!

Tania was our venue contact, and was great from the start, easy to communicate with and quick to reply with any questions that we had throughout the entire process. She helped guide what would work and was honest about what was doable. The food was amazing and we had tons of compliments on it! especially the steak! Everything ran so smoothly on that day, staff was on it, bartenders were fantastic, and everything looked great. We had the smaller reception space + the rooftop and truly lucked out with a spectacular day. I highly recommend this venue for the amazing city views, consistency and reliability with the venue, great food, super fun murals inside (lots of photo opportunities) and great event space overall. I had two coworkers also get married here, and they also raved about the space, and I couldn't agree more!

We could not have had a better experience working with the staff at Lacuna Lofts (Lacuna Events by LM).
From the start, they worked with us through every detail from choosing appropriate event spaces, picking colors, setting menus and provided us an incredibly helpful timeline and checklist for everything that we would need. Everyone we worked with (especially Emily) was 10/10.
On the day of our wedding, they left no detail to chance. Especially with their professionalism and efficiency with making a last-minute change to our ceremony due to weather, everything went off flawlessly. The onsite staff was very gracious to our guests, and they provided a very fun and welcoming service. It was also helpful that all of our vendors (planner, photographers, DJ, photobooth) had experience at Lacuna Lofts and that made set up and take down very easy for everyone involved.
Anyone considering Lacuna Lofts should know that they will get an amazingly unique venue with plenty of character and amazing scenery for everyone!
Lastly the food (and tasting) was fantastic! The tasting was one of our favorite parts of the entire experience - so fun. And we heard nothing but good things from our guests about the food served throughout our entire wedding!

We can't say enough good things about our experience with Lacuna Lofts and the LM team. The venue is so beautiful (and the murals are incredible!), the staff are amazing, and overall our wedding was a dream thanks to them!
We actually were about to sign a contract with another venue, but due to some communication concerns, backed out at the last minute. This left us scrambling to find a venue, and Laura swooped in and was so unbelievably accommodating! She was quick to respond and answer our questions, which we needed since we already had vendors lined up but no place to get married! When Laura left Lacuna, we were reassigned to Meagan who picked up right where Laura left off. She was communicative, easy to work with, and answered my questions (sometimes multiple times when I forgot the answers...) and was on top of everything.
The venue is beautiful and we felt we barely had to add any decor with the string lights and city view. However, THE FOOD IS OUT OF THIS WORLD GOOD. We got so many compliments on the food, everything was cooked to perfection, and the staff were quick with getting our guests fed. They were friendly, helpful, and so accommodating (when one guest who is a surgeon got caught in the operating room, they still set his plate aside and brought it out as soon as they saw him get in during our speeches!).
I can't say enough good things about Lacuna. If you're considering them for your venue or catering, I guarantee you won't find better!

Lacuna Lofts and LM Catering made our March 2024 wedding an absolute dream. Our wedding ceremony was absolutely gorgeous underneath the arch in Reverie Gallery. Cocktail hour in Magic Street was hustling and bustling with activity and happy guests. The service team during the reception was flawless. They took care of everything and we enjoyed every single minute. Our guests said that this was the best wedding they've been to and that they love the unique and interesting venue we chose. The food was out of this world. We got so many compliments on it. The chicken and steak meals were perfectly cooked, our guests adored all the dessert, especially the macarons, my mom ate at least 3 pretzels during late-night snack, and the out-of-town guests loved the mini Chicago Style Hot Dogs and sliders. The LM team goes above-and-beyond!

My husband and I lost track of the number of friends and family members who came up to us at our wedding and in the days after to rave about Lacuna Lofts - from the art to the wood to the lights! We immediately fell in love with Lacuna Lofts when we toured the space, and the art we loved so much looked incredible in our wedding photos. Tania and the whole Lacuna Lofts team was a DREAM to work with throughout our planning process. Tania was so responsive, professional, and accommodating to our different needs and requests. It was so easy working with Tania on both the venue and catering, and that showed in how perfect our wedding day went! If you are looking for a unique, unforgettable wedding venue, it does not get better than Lacuna Lofts in Chicago!

We used Lacuna as a caterer and we held our ceremony at their venue, Lacuna Lofts in the Reverie Gallery. Not only did our guests comment on the amazing and artistic venue we chose but the MOST compliments we received for the entire night was on the food- seriously blew us out of the water!!! Throughout the entire planning process our main communication was with one of their directors, Tania, and she could not have been more helpful! She answered ALL of my questions (which there was a lot), was consistently available, and a very approachable presence (which was wonderful given planning is not my strong suit). I highly recommend couples working with this company!!!

We absolutely LOVED working with Lacuna Events for our wedding. From the moment we stepped into the space for the first time, we knew the Reverie Gallery would be the perfect space for our wedding.
The tasting was so much fun (and delicious) and a highlight of our planning process. Tania answered so many of our questions and even recommended a wedding planner who we ended up booking and are so grateful she made this recommendation.
Tania was always an e-mail away to answer any question that came up leading up to our wedding and we felt super confident in her team going into the big day.
It is impossible to put into words how happy we were with our wedding day at Lacuna. Our guests loved the food (especially the short rib), and always had a drink in hand- the spicy margaritas were a huge hit!
10/10 experience from the moment we walked in the door.

I am SO happy I went with Lacuna for my wedding venue. I fell in love as soon as I saw the space. The street art murals are SO cool, the neon signs - all just add to the vibe. I cannot recommend the sky deck enough. Especially with out of town guests - it really provided that wow factor. While with Lacuna, our rep changed 4 times. This made us nervous each time, but each rep was well educated on our wedding and transitioned smoothly, so I had no concerns after the initial anxiety. And not least THE FOOD. Oh my god was the food great. Our guests are still complimenting it. Especially my mother, who is SUPER honest lol. They nailed even the little things. I loved a neon sign in their bathroom when I toured. When I mentioned it, they said it had since broken but made sure to have it fixed before our ceremony! Seriously, such a huge thank you to the LM team. My only complaint was that it was just one day!

Lacuna Events by LM was our DREAM venue! The entire venue gave our day the exact feel we were looking for and wow-ed our guests in countless ways! The skydeck view was the perfect backdrop for our ceremony. La Galleria fit our 280 person guest list comfortably and provided us with plenty of room to add decor to make it our own. Emily was phenomenal to work with- quick to respond and really went above and beyond for us the entire day. We are still getting compliments 4 months later! The food... omg the FOOD. Absolutely delicious. The tasting was very intimate and personalized. So many of our guests commented that the dinner was some of the best wedding food they have ever had. Would use the same venue all over again x100!

This venue was amazing. It's eclectic, fun, gorgeous, and unique. The ambiance set up each moment to be the most magical day. We had the pleasure of working with Laura and Emily they went above and beyond from start to finish they made us feel comfortable and guided us throughout the whole process, I was very impressed with the event staff the captain and servers were friendly and very efficient. The food was AMAZING, we received a lot of compliments on everything but especially about the food. We had our ceremony and reception at Lacuna in the Reverie room. from the photos on their rooftop with the most beautiful city skyline behind us and blue clear skies for a not so typical November day in Chicago to our Ceremony set with such a romantic vibe a room filled with love, onto the coolest cocktail hour which lead to the best night ever. Everyone worked seamlessly to make sure it was perfect. I'm beyond happy, and we are still dreaming about this magical day.

My wife and I's wedding reception was held at Lacuna in August 2023. Tania and the entire staff made our night so memorable and stress free. Everything was on point - from the food to decor to drinks and more. The compliments we received from our guests thereafter validated our choice to go with Lacuna even more. Many folks told us that the food was the best food they ever had been served at a wedding reception. It was the perfect night and Lacuna made it all happen.

My husband and I are both thrilled that we chose Lacuna Lofts as the venue for the wedding.
The People:
Everyone we met from Lacuna was wonderful to work with. We primarily worked with Laura leading up to the wedding. She was incredibly helpful and very responsive to all of our questions (and we had a lot of questions). She has a great upbeat personality that made the little stressful moments throughout the process better.
We also had a great experience with the staff during the wedding day. The security guard was very personable and responsive. The waitstaff and bartenders were quick and professional and excellent at cleaning up quickly when our some of our klutzier guests kept spilling their drinks.
The Food:
We were very impressed with the quality of our tasting. There was a good variety of options and everything tasted great. We received a number of compliments from our guests. The desserts were incredible and the family style sides were pretty popular. We also really liked the fact that Lacuna allows you to bring in your own alcohol from Binny’s and other suppliers, so we had more control over what wine and drink selection we could offer.
The Venue:
The venue is gorgeous. Our guests were blown away by the Chicago skyline for the ceremony. We were in the galleria for the reception and absolutely loved it. We fell in love with the artsy vibe and love that the venue has a good balance of unique visuals without being too overwhelming. Another huge selling point for us was the large dance floor. We had plenty of space for our 180 guests to dance all night long.

Lacuna Lofts is a truly beautiful space--stylish with amazing views, whether indoors or outdoors. It gives your guests a true sense of Chicago. We had our wedding late-September with the ceremony on the SkyDeck and our reception in La Galleria. La Galleria is a great space for a smaller, more intimate wedding. Tania was great to work with--responded quickly to all our questions and made great recommendations. Absolutely recommend.

Lacuna Lofts is unlike any wedding venue we have seen, and we are so glad that we were able to have our wedding there. The skydeck is our favorite part, with that insane view of the city. I was not prepared for that moment when I was walking down the aisle, with all of the people that I love staring back at me, and that beautiful skyline in the background. The inside is even more unique! We loved the artwork mixed in with the warehouse, and were able to get some great pictures beforehand with the bridal party inside the building. I have never seen any other space like this, and our guests absolutely loved the food quality and the service. It was an excellently executed party, with no line at the bar and constant attention from the staff. We couldn't have asked for a better night!

We had our wedding at Lacuna Lofts and the number of compliments was above what we imagined. Laura was our site coordinator, she was so helpful throughout the planning process. From the initial meeting, to food tasting, to setting up the rehearsal and day-of; any questions we had Laura was able quickly answer. Laura put us at ease and was great about letting us see the space again after we had booked and were still questioning if we made the right decision.
Lacuna’s dinner options were amazing, we had a hard time narrowing down the meal choices! Ultimately we chose the pan seared chicken, braised beef short rib, and carrot quinoa cakes. All of the guests were very happy with the dinner, we even had guests saying this was the best wedding meal they’ve had! Lacuna works with Vanille for desserts, on the day of the wedding all of the sweets and cake were delicious, and displayed so beautifully! Lacuna allowed us to bring in our own alcohol through Binny’s, which was nice not to be limited to a drink package. Instead we were able to customize it to ours and our guests liking.
Our ceremony was on the SkyDeck, followed by cocktail hour. We were so lucky to have beautiful weather, but Laura assured us if weather had been bad that they had a contingency plan. It was nice not having to worry about what to do if it rained. The reception was in the Reverie Gallery. The room itself is so beautiful and eclectic that we didn’t need to bring in much in regards to decorations. Simply beautiful.
If you’re considering Lacuna Lofts, don’t pass up this beautiful location. You won’t regret it, I know we are still dreaming of our amazing day! Thank you to Laura and her team!

If you ever dreamed of having a Chicago City wedding... Lacuna is hands down the perfect venue! On top of the amazing rooftop with the Chicago skyline backdrop, the venue is just so unique and fun it was a no brainer to have our wedding there. The food was incredible and the option to byob was the cherry on top. We worked with Laura and she was just so amazing to work with, very communicative and quick to respond to emails. We felt comfortable every step of the way having her coordinate our wedding. Our wedding was hosted on the rooftop deck (with cocktail hour) and reception in the reverie gallery. It was perfect for our 155 guest list. Can't recommend Laura & the Lacuna team enough!

Where to begin!!! We had a more intimate ceremony off-site but held our wedding celebration at Lacuna Lofts on a gorgeous, summer day. This venue is simply STUNNING. Our guests are still raving about cocktail hour on the rooftop - can't top them skyline views! Our reception was in the Reverie Gallery - a magical space filled with TONS of personality, funky murals, art installments, you name it. And the food...divine! We're still dreaming of the apps, entrees, sweet treats and late-night snacks that blessed our taste buds that evening. Not to mention our tasting experience leading up was an absolute blast (all thanks to Tania...I'll get to her!) But what made our wedding EXTRA special was the staff at Lacuna. The set-up/clean-up crews, captains, servers, and bartenders (along with the rest of our vendors) worked so hard to ensure the evening ran smoothly AND our guests had fun. Some guests are still talking up one of the bartenders at the main bar in Reverie - wish I had his name! He was absolutely FAB! We are still blown away by the staff at Lacuna - they deserve all the accolades. Our venue coordinator, Tania, was BEYOND incredible. I'm sad I only have 3500 characters for this review because I could honestly write a novel about how much I love and adore her. Tania helped us every step of the way leading up to our big day (in more ways than one!) She was so quick to answer our 5,000+ questions, calm our nerves, and respond to my middle-of-the-night emails (whoopsie). She made our wedding planning experience seamless, memorable and FUN! Not sure where we'd be without her expertise and guidance. Just seeing her face and hearing her voice day-of put me at ease! We'd recommend Lacuna to anyone and everyone. A+ venue, A+ staff, A+ experience!!! We will truly cherish this day/venue forever.

We had our wedding in late July on the Skydeck and in the smaller event space, La Galleria. We could not have been happier with how everything went, the space and the team involved helped make it a fantastic day. The space was truly magical and the views of the city could not be beat. Because it's such a great looking space, and Lacuna provides great tables and linens, we didn't need to do too much in terms of decor, which saved us a lot of costs and headache.
Our venue contact, Emily B, was also incredible. She had a tough challenge of filling in for someone who left part-way through our planning, but she didn't miss a beat, and we felt like everything went smoothly. She was super responsive and knowledgeable to all of our individual requests and asks, and incredibly personable to boot!
Our guests enjoyed being there, and we got tons of rave reviews about all the food. We highly recommend this space!

We loved Lacuna Lofts for our Venue!! It was an old macaroni factory that has turned into a creative event space, so it has a lot of Chicago history & character. They got us in to see the space right away. If you are looking for a gorgeous rooftop and view of the skyline, this is your place! We had our ceremony & cocktail hour up on the roof, and it was perfection. We also loved the fun artwork and signage everywhere as well. It allowed us to simplify our decor for our space. We worked with Laura Thomas and she was an absolute delight! So wonderful & easy to work with. She answered all of our questions, and she worked with all of our requests. They allow you to source your alcohol from binny's which saved us a bunch of money for our open bar. We received so many compliments on the food and desserts table. Multiple people commented that the food was the best they've ever had at a wedding, and it was the best wedding they have ever been to!

Our experience with Lacuna Events by LM was incredible. Aside from the venue itself being gorgeous and smoothly operated, the team is wonderful - so thoughtful, detailed and organized in every aspect. Our venue contact, Tania, is an absolute gem and always replied to any outreach quickly and efficiently. Seeing her on-site on our wedding day completely eased any worries we may have had - her calm presence leading the day's logistics (with a bright smile!) was so appreciated.
The amount of glowing praise we received on our day - from the stunning views on the SkyDeck at Lacuna Lofts, to the delicious food stations, to the incredible artwork around the venue - truly made our day even more special. We're so grateful we worked with Lacuna Events by LM and highly recommend to all Chicago-area couples!

We had our wedding in La Galleria of Lacuna Lofts and it was amazing. We were won over during the walk-through by the art, wood floors, and large windows. The 5th floor was perfect for us since we were having a medium sized wedding (130 guests). Our event manager, Laura Thomas, was an absolute pleasure to work with. She took over when our prior coordinator transferred venue locations. Laura was on top of everything from the start and so quick to respond to any questions or concerns. She worked with our other vendors the day of and everything ran seamlessly. The rooftop was open for guest to see and take photos while we had our cocktail hour on the first floor. The food was great and we received many compliments from our guests. Everyone on the catering team from the servers, bartenders, and night catering manager were amazing. We are so happy we had our wedding at Lacuna!!

We were worried about the weather for our wedding, but the staff were very prepared with their back up plans and were able to keep things fluid, confirming with us, until just before our wedding. We had several special considerations in our planning and preparation, yet Mary took everything in stride. Her personal touch made the day an unforgettable one!

My wife and I loved having our wedding at Lacuna Lofts! The rooftop had a gorgeous skyline view, and the reverie gallery has so much cool art in the space. We booked our wedding two years out, and didn't totally know how many guests to expect, but the reverie gallery space is flexible enough that it would have been perfect with 200+ guests or 100 guests. The physical space is warm and inviting. We had an all-vegetarian wedding and the food was delicious, especially the butternut squash soup! We were engaged for so long that we did go through three venue coordinators, but the venue handled each of those transitions very smoothly and Laura, who was the last person we worked with and there at our actual wedding, was awesome.

The team at Lacuna was so nice to work with, and our wedding reception at Lacuna Lofts was a great party all-around in a super cool setting! We worked with Macrina throughout the planning process, and she was very friendly, helpful, and professional. Her availability for answering questions made the wedding planning process so much easier. We rented the Skydeck rooftop for a cocktail hour and the Reverie Gallery for the reception. You really can't beat a rooftop party on a nice day in Chicago, and the view of the skyline here is beautiful. Guests were definitely wowed by both the beautiful rooftop and the artsy industrial vibe of the main room. And the food was actually good too, which you can't always say about big catered events. Overall, would definitely recommend!

Due to the pandemic, our engagement lasted over two years—and Lacuna Lofts with LM Events was one of the first things we booked. From our first virtual tour over FaceTime, to making sure we had time to take photos on the roof at night, Mary at LM was our wedding whiz and guru! We probably sent her hundreds of questions and emails over the two years, and she went above and beyond to answer them and help us in any way she could. We couldn’t be more thankful to Mary and her team for making the reception of our dreams—we got so many compliments on the space, the food, and the amazing team running the show. Is the Lacuna Lofts event space cool? Most definitely. But it’s the people behind LM Events that make this place a must—check it out, this is the vendor you want!

First off, the venue spaces are beautiful. We did a rooftop ceremony and then had the reception in La Galleria. We got plenty of great remarks on the venue choice. There are plenty of murals and artistic walls to capture photos - not to mention the skyline.
Second, the food is so good. Cooking for 75 to 200+ people is never easy, so it's not going to be perfect. The majority of people at our wedding thoroughly enjoyed the food, especially the chocolate and chili short rib.
Third and most importantly, Macrina and the entire Lacuna team are amazing. Between answering most of my e-mails fairly promptly and guiding us through the entire process, we couldn't have asked for a better catering manager/pseudo-wedding planner.
Getting married in Chicago isn't cheap, but Lacuna with LM Catering is one of the places you can do it without spending a fortune.

We recently had our wedding ceremony and reception at Lacuna and it was a dream from beginning to the end. Macrina was super helpful throughout the entire process and always available to help with questions and concerns. The ceremony and reception ran without any problems and our guests raved about the beautiful, unique space AND the food (no one ever expects wedding food to be good but it was honestly amazing)! We highly recommend their rooftop for ceremony and cocktail hour, the view is phenomenal and the perfect backdrop for pictures. Another big plus is that you can source alcohol from third party vendors which can definitely help reduce costs. We highly recommend Lacuna for any event.

Fairytale doesn't even begin to describe our experience planning a wedding with Lacuna events, especially our events coordinator Macrina. She was an absolute pleasure to work with! Adaptable, detailed, and kind-hearted, she filled in after our original coordinator left the company and transitioned us seamlessly. Throughout the planning process, she went the extra mile time and time again to make sure we had the best experience possible.
Even if you don't get the pleasure of working with Macrina, the venue is incredible. The food was delicious, the La Galleria space and skyline views were stunning, and they even tracked down our cake a month after the wedding! My husband and I were able to savor every special moment throughout our wedding day knowing that Lacuna's staff was looking after all the logistics in the background with such care. For couples looking for a beautiful space and really incredible team of people to help shepherd them through their wedding day, I can't recommend this special spot enough!

We first found out about Lacuna after attending a friend's wedding there, and we fell in love with the urban artsy space! We are so grateful to have worked with Mary at Lacuna, as she helped us navigate all the craziness with COVID-19. We originally planned to have our wedding reception in May 2020. After rescheduling twice, we finally had our dream wedding reception on NYE 2021. Mary was extremely positive, supportive, and flexible throughout the whole process. We highly recommend working with Mary!

Updated review: we were contacted by LM regarding our difficulties with communicating with the coordinator and our cake and they have more than made up for the trouble and offered an explanation.
The venue, catering, catering staff, and initial coordinator were fantastic. Literally every member of the serving and bartending team killed it!
Unfortunately, we had issues with the coordinator that had been assigned to us in 2020 after the previous coordinator moved on.
When we signed our contract in 2019, ample parking was included. During a final visit we planned 4 months before our (November 2021) wedding, we were shocked to find that the lot was now pay only and required an app to get in. We were not told by our coordinator and due to the lack of notice, we were unable to include information with our invitations to our 200+ guests. When we asked about it, we were told that we would get 15 complimentary spots for our vendors.
During that same final meeting, we were asked by our coordinator what should be done with our (small) cutting cake. I specifically asked that the cake be packed up and given to us when we went to pick up our decorations after. When I went to get everything, the cake was not there and the employee was very unhelpful and even tried to give me other people's things. I emailed the coordinator about the cake and she never responded, despite us having an ongoing conversation at the time.
Beyond these communication issues, it was a wonderful day and the venue was beautiful and the food was delicious.
