"Planned as a queer‑focused events venue to replace Split‑Rail and the Martin, Villanelle raised more than $80,000 via Kickstarter, spent the spring finishing touches while sharing progress on social media, and announced that bookings are open on its website (announced Tuesday, June 18); the venue will also offer Split‑Rail’s fried chicken and other favorites as its catering option." - Naomi Waxman

CHICAGO IS SO LUCKY TO HAVE THIS QUEER EVENT SPACE! I attended a wedding there this Sunday and was absolutely blown away by the atmosphere, food, service (shout out to the amazingly kind and generous bartenders—they should have a tip jar out at all times). Not to mention, they are directly above the best lesbian bar in the country. Fellow Chicago Queers, this is your sign to have your wedding here.

Villanelle was the perfect wedding reception venue for our big day! From the moment we first reached out, their communication was quick, clear, and friendly. Whitney and Zoe made everything so easy for us and provided exceptional service throughout the entire planning process. The modern, contemporary space was spacious and fun, and the food was outstanding - all of our guests raved about it! We both felt so special and truly cared for, and could truly just relax and enjoy ourselves. We highly recommend including Dorothy Downstairs in your plans if you can swing it with your budget, as it was a fantastic addition to our celebration. All in all, Villanelle was the perfect choice for our wedding and we're so grateful to have found them.
