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

  • “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.”

  • 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.

  • I am so impressed by how you go above and beyond to help people succeed. I am so glad that our industry is so small and intimate to do this.
    I know my Boss was also very impressed with your kindness and generosity.

  • 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.

  • Thanks, HeresChicago for such a great job! We've been part of HeresChicago for years and you sill manage to amaze us with your continued referrals! Just this week, we received 2 HOT buyout leads that are resulting in site inspections. Thank you so much for being a valued resource!

  • Excellent Start to having locations and venues for meetings, event planning, and more! Reach out to JIM -he's the best :)

  • We listed our company's venue (downtown Chicago) on HeresChicago.com and consistently receive high-quality leads, several of which turned into bookings this past year (success!) On some referral sites, we get an abundance of leads that often go nowhere; on HeresChicago.com

    The leads don't feel mass-produced - emphasis on quality over quantity, which we will take every time. Once listed, the site runs itself by feeding you referrals, but if you do need help, the founder Jim is incredibly personable and eager to help. He will make sure you aren't lost in a sea of businesses but will do everything within his power to ensure you are getting the most out of your membership. Highly recommend working with Jim and the team at HeresChicago.com

  • Jim Grillo is the boss of Chicago. He knows everybody and everything and Here’s Chicago is a great tool for my business. Jim and the website are both great connectors.

    David Goldstein

  • “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.”
