  • “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.”

  • 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
  • Here's Chicago is a great industry asset. We love the industry networking/showcase events and Jim has always been super helpful with networking and referrals.

    Michael Kuntz
  • "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."

  • Wow, what a find! Was able to find 3 unique venues for our company sales meeting - used the easy contact form to reach out directly to venues and two responded right away with pricing! Saves hours and hours of work, thanks!!!

  • 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.
