Event space rental questions:
WHERE IS LE LOFT LOCATED?
Le Loft is a Logan square wedding venue and event space near North and Western Ave. in Chicago. Conveniently located just five minutes from I-90, 15-minutes from downtown Chicago, and a few blocks away from the six-corners in Wicker Park.
CAN I HAVE A SEATED CEREMONY OR EVENT?
We have 80 padded folding chairs included in our wedding packages. For events, we have 40 folding chairs available for rent for each side.
We also encourage gathered ceremonies for larger parties, allowing an intimate and casual semi-circle to form as you exchange vows.
WHERE CAN MY EVENT OR WEDDING RECEPTION TAKE PLACE?
Our 4,800 square space is divided into two sides, divided by barn doors. Each side is available for rent separately or all together. You can view walkthrough videos via the links below. We also rent out the full space.
Ceremony or Reception locations: With our two convenient spaces, you can hold your ceremony and cocktail hour on one side and reception on the opposite, avoiding a room flip and allowing your reception to progress smoothly.

CAN OUR DOG COME?
We allow dogs for wedding ceremonies only. Dogs must exit the space before the cocktail hour begins and food and drinks are served. To avoid any accidents, we kindly ask that you ensure your furry friend has had the chance to relieve themselves before attending.
HOW IS LIQUOR HANDLED?
You have the option of BYOB or working through a licensed vendor of your choice. For our recommendations, check out our preferred vendors. They can offer complete bar packages or consult on the appropriate amounts + supplies to bring.
CAN I BRING IN A HOMEMADE APPETIZER OR DESSERT?
Yes, absolutely! However, if you choose to use a caterer, we advise checking with them first as they may have restrictions due to liability concerns for food they do not prepare directly.
HOW MANY GUESTS CAN I INVITE?
Our West Side capacity is 99 for a standing cocktail style event.
Our East Side capacity is 70 for a standing cocktail style event. If you’re planning a seated meal for all your guests, please reach out to confirm capacity and recommendations for layout.
CAN I INVITE CHILDREN?
Children are welcome at daytime events. For evenings, children under ten are not allowed on site unless you have discussed it with us and been approved beforehand.
CAN I HAVE A LIVE BAND?
We do not recommend a large, live band due to the space they take up. Trios or quartets can be nice for the ceremony and cocktail hour, but our couples often opt for a DJ.
WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE FULL RENTAL PRICE?
Wedding packages include 10 8 ft tables, seating for 80, bridal suite, a SONOS sound system, bar, and more. Visit our wedding page for a full description.
Event rentals include lounge seating, one-eight foot dining table, a SONOS sound system, and more. Additionally, we offer add-on options, including tables, chairs, linens, highboys, setup, and more. Read our full list of amenities here.
DO YOU HAVE ANY DECOR RULES?
To avoid fires, we kindly ask that you place all candles inside a glass votive and prohibit open flames, including sparklers, candlesticks, etc.
No confetti or glitter. If you use glitter in any decorations, including balloons, the fee is $100.
Finally, if you need to hang something on a wall, bring some command hooks or use painter’s tape. If you’re unsure about anything, don’t hesitate to ask. We’re always here to help make your event a success!
HOW LATE CAN MY EVENT GO?
Please note that events must end by 12 am on Fridays and Saturdays unless prior arrangements have been made. We take our responsibility towards our neighbors seriously and kindly request all guests to leave the premises quietly. If you wish to continue your celebrations, we can recommend some excellent private after-party venues just a few doors down or a few blocks away. Please let us know if you require any suggestions.
DO YOU OFFER PARKING?
There is free street parking and non-permitted parking in the neighborhood, although due to limited availability, we highly recommend using ride shares for larger events.
WHEN CAN I TOUR?
We offer in person walkthroughs Wed-Friday between 10-3 pm, unless otherwise arranged. Contact us to schedule your visit.
ARE YOU WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE?
Not at this time.
WHERE DO I BUY “DAY OF” EVENT INSURANCE?
We require “day of” event insurance for all events with over 40 guests. We recommend Eventsured.
