Chicago’s Most Creative Event Space

This Is Not Your Average Venue

Wicker Park’s Color-drenched Loft For The non-traditional, The DIY-obsessed, And Everyone Who’s Been Told Their Vision Is “Too Much.”

Le Loft is a 4,800 sq ft event space in Wicker Park, Chicago — owned and operated by three Chicago women who’ve spent 15+ years in the wedding and events world and got tired of spaces that felt like hotel ballrooms.

Inspired by Luis Barragán’s color philosophy and the electric energy of creative collectives, Le Loft was built for people who want their event to feel like them. Bold pigmented walls, floor-to-ceiling factory windows, hardwood floors, and two distinct sides — each with its own entrance, bathroom, kitchenette, and disco ball.

BYOB. Outside catering welcome. Up to 99 guests. No dress code for your vision.

 

GET IN TOUCH

Two Sides. Infinite Possibilities.

Le Loft splits into two fully independent spaces, each with a personality all its own.

East Side Bright, airy, and drenched in natural light. Bold color pops, expansive factory windows, and that golden-hour glow that makes every photo a moment.

West Side Deeper tones, moodier energy, and a permanent dance floor. The side where the night really gets going.

Each side has its own private entrance, private bathroom, and kitchenette. Book one side for an intimate gathering or take over both for a full-scale event. The space works as hard as you do.

What Are You Celebrating?

Weddings in Chicago: A Wedding Venue That Actually Looks Like You

Le Loft is for the couple who walked into every other venue and felt nothing. Eleven hours of access starting at noon, room for 78 at a seated dinner or 99 for a cocktail-style reception, and zero pressure to conform to someone else’s idea of what a wedding should look like.

BYOB. Bring your own caterer. Flip the disco ball on. This is your day.

REHEARSAL DINNERS: The Night-Before Party You Actually Want to Attend

Ditch the private room at a chain restaurant. Le Loft sets the stage for a rehearsal dinner that feels intentional — intimate enough for real conversation, beautiful enough to remember.

Birthday Parties: Because You Deserve More Than a Bar Buyout

Le Loft’s architectural character suits celebrations from casual gatherings to sophisticated affairs. The Sonos sound system, bar areas, and multiple seating zones create dynamic entertaining spaces.

Baby + Bridal Showers: Sunlight, Color, and No Boring Florals Required

Tall factory windows flood the space with the kind of natural light that makes brunch feel like an editorial shoot. Flexible floor plan — do seated, do standing, do whatever fits your vibe.

Corporate Events: Your Team Deserves Better Than a Conference Room

Product launches, brand activations, team retreats, fundraisers — Le Loft’s industrial loft aesthetic does the heavy lifting aesthetically so you can focus on the actual work. Impress people without trying too hard.

Workshops + Creative Productions: The Studio Space Chicago Creatives Have Been Looking For

Photographers, educators, artists, and content creators — Le Loft rents hourly for shoots, workshops, pop-ups, and productions. The natural light is unmatched. The backdrop does the talking. Hourly bookings start at $165.

Everything You Need. Nothing You Don’t.

Le Loft comes stocked with the essentials so you can focus on the actual party:

  • Sonos sound system with wireless connectivity — bring your playlist, press play
  • Customizable atmospheric lighting — set the mood, change it three times, we don’t care
  • Kitchenettes on both sides — for your caterer, your DIY spread, your midnight snack situation
  • BYOB + outside catering — bring your favorite people’s favorite restaurant
  • Tables, chairs, and linens — available as add-ons so you’re not scrambling day-of
  • Bridal suite access (weddings) — get ready in the space, not in a parking lot
  • Two disco balls — one per side, one switch flip away
  • WiFi — because someone always needs it

Le Loft Owners Emily Wolf, Maggie Rife Ponce, Kelly Feldmiller

Built by Women Who’ve Seen Every Kind of Event.

Emily Wolf, Maggie Rife Ponce, and Kelly Feldmiller didn’t build Le Loft to be just another venue. They built it because Chicago needed a space that felt alive — one that could hold a color-blocked wedding one weekend and a photographer’s workshop the next.

With 15+ years of combined experience in weddings, photography, makeup artistry, and event production, the Le Loft team knows what actually makes events work. They’ll share vendor recommendations, timeline advice, and real talk — without taking over your vision.

Le Loft is proudly women-owned and operated.
