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

  • “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! "

  • 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.

  • 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!

    Mary Schonta Sprow

  • 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.

    Irene Fry, Event Planner, ESP Events

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.
