    Sales Manager, Untitled

  • “Believe me I have book marked your site. Again Kudos to your site. I was not exaggerating when I called it a god send. 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, Independent Meeting Planner, Virtual Rescue

  • 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!

    Kieran Aherne

  • I always go to Here's Chicago first, when I need a quality vendor to take care of one of my clients. The businesses are always professional and easy to work with.

  • We have been investing our marketing dollars in Here’s Chicago for the past 4 years to attract more corporate event business. Here’s Chicago has consistently delivered year after year as the second most successful advertising investment in terms of corporate event group revenue returned.

    Stan Hansen, Sodexo & Museum of Science and Industry

  • We were Hereschicago.com’s FIRST client 19 years ago and have remained with them due to the pre-qualified corporate planners that are actively interested in booking our Teambuilding programs including our Scavenger Hunts and Summer Picnics at our premier venue, UIC Picnic Grounds and across the Chicagoland area. We stay with Hereschicago.com due to Jim Grillo, CMP, the founder and owner of Hereschicago.com. Jim takes the time to make sure that we receive an ROI from our investment with them. He guaranteed we would grow our business with him and he has delivered. In addition, we have multiple listings featuring our team building programs, scavenger hunts and our picnic location on Hereschicago.com. No matter what level of advertising you select with Jim, we have found the exposure to his meeting and event professional subscribers extremely valuable. We just celebrated our company’s 25th anniversary and Hereschicago.com as a marketing partner has contributed to our sustainability and revenue growth throughout our 19 years.

    Here's Chicago's First Client

  • Excellent source for high-quality leads that fit our business. I've been working with Here's Chicago for years and they are great to work with! Highly recommended.
