  • The leads coming from Here’s Chicago are legitimate leads from seasoned event veterans from premier corporations. We do not have to weed out people that have no experience booking meeting spaces, a lead from Here’s Chicago is a qualified professional who knows the event industry.

    Stan Hansen, Whirlyball

  • As I mentioned, I truly enjoy and look forward to your monthly emails. It’s one of my favorite resources for researching restaurants and venues for my local groups. Thanks again for all you do to make my life a little easier!

    Mary C. Kos, Gas Technology

  • I have had the pleasure of working with Jim and his team on many different events and have always found them to be professional, detail orientated and the best that the City of Chicago has to offer in hospitality and in the connecting of people from different cultures and businesses. Thanks for all that you do Jim!

  • Believe me, I have bookmarked your site. Again, Kudos to your site. I was not exaggerating when I called it a godsend. Thank you again for your personal assistance. I will definitely use your site for future venues; I just wished I had found y'all two months ago.

    Kristi Bryant, Virtual Rescue

  • Thank you Jim Grillo and Here's Chicago! Our venue, Lakeshore Sport & Fitness, has been listed on the site for a year. We have had a great experience and have generated more leads/revenue events, as a result. Not only has the site led to more business, but we were also proud to play host venue for Hospitality Fest 2016. It was a pleasure working with Jim and his team of professionals. The event was a huge success! We look forward to continuing our partnership with Here's Chicago.

    David Klein, Lake Shore Sport & Fitness event space

  • Hands down, "Here’s Chicago" is the #1 event resource for meeting and event planners in the Chicagoland area. I would not be where I am today in the hospitality industry without Jim’s willingness to go above and beyond to connect me with premiere event spaces and hospitality providers. Jim makes my job easy. I know, without hesitation, my event will be exceptional due to Jim's timely and helpful assistance. Jim is the ultimate professional and his passion for helping others is contagious.

    Joan Hohs

  • Great resource. Always get value out of our relationship with Here's Chicago. If you are coming to Chicago and need any hospitality services, this is THE place to start. Jim is well-connected in the industry. He will get you what you need!
