Here’s what meeting planners & our current listing members say…

  • Hereschicago.com is the best online resource directory for event planners and I think it will be a continued success. Thanks for creating an online tool that helps find the best venue/vendors in the Chicagoland area.

    Irene Fry, ESP Events

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Working with/through HeresChicago has been a great time. They make you feel welcome and they do fun things! I hope to volunteer for them as long as I can! They’re great for meeting and event venues, services, team building, and planning - whatever you need, they can accommodate! I recommend them for all of your events needs in Chicago!

  • Great way to find venues and activities for corporate meetings and organizational retreats. One-stop shop.

    Michael Embrey

  • 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.

    Private Event Manager, Lake Shore Sport & Fitness event space

  • 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.

    Stan Hansen

  • 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!

    Jeff Durocher, US Poker & Casino Parties

  • We have wanted to come to Chicago with our clients, but, we couldn’t find a site that put us over the top until we saw your site and all of the wonderful vendors! I love the videos and makes me want to do more in Chicago with my large client events. As an event professional, you have a lot I can utilize, and will definitely be giving the vendors I found on your site a call on Monday or Tuesday. I would like to see your site in all states! It is user-friendly, very interactive and displays unique Chicago venues, and features great videos such as Fado Irish Pub, etc. video site tour.
