What Event Planner’s say about Hereschicago.com

“I think hereschicago.com’s website is the biggest and greatest venue (and services) source in Chicago land area. It is easy to navigate, access and find all the needed information – from a local event planner to various venues, vendors, events, restaurants, entertainment, etc. If I am ever in need of a place for my events or need a referral – hereschicago.com is my “go to place”. I would encourage all event planners to use it to experience its benefits!”

“Loyola Conference Services has been partners with Here’s Chicago for several years and have been consistently impressed with the quality of leads that we receive. We recently booked a three-day corporate training event at Loyola’s Lake Shore Campus. Jim Grillo is such a pleasure to work with and goes above and beyond to connect meeting planners with venues. I would highly recommend Here’s Chicago if you are looking to grow your hospitality business!”
