  • “Here’s Chicago” is an amazing site and I will definitely tout it to all my fellow event planners and clients who have a need for planning events in the Chicago area. The site really is a planners dream because not only is it robust but it’s comprehensive and well organized. I would think every credible venue, entertainer and transportation company would clamor to be a part of your site. Chicago Tourism should be indebted to you for creating such a great tool! "

  • I am a relatively new customer of Here’s Chicago and have had great success with our advertisement thus far! I have found that we have received consistent, quantified leads from groups that we would not otherwise have had access to– and these groups have booked! The cost for our annual listing is well worth the price for the return that we have received. Be sure to utilize the promotions option as well as they are great resources to get the most out of your money.

    Levy Restaurants

  • You and Here's Chicago have been a great friend and resource to me for many years. I too was just starting doing events for my employer when we met, and now I am on my own. Because of you I was able to take my events to another level. Your network of venues and people have made my job so much easier...and fun. Thanks for all you do. To have a great event you need Here's Chicago as a backdrop and Jim Grillo.

    Enjoy the weather.

    Robert Miller, Creative Events

  • Thank you to Jim and Here's Chicago for being a great partners. Jim really takes the time to get to know you personally to make your listings with him really pop! I have received many leads that turn into a business. I highly recommend them! Thanks for all you do.

    Johnathon Paszkiet

  • 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!
