Here’s a closer look at Chicago’s newest eateries, drinking spots, hotels, conference areas, private rooms, and other spaces available for events this spring. The new and renovated Chicago venues are available for corporate parties, weddings, fundraisers, outdoor functions, business dinners, team-building activities, conferences, meetings, and more.

The Matrix Club

Mark your calendars—a premier convention, banquet, and performance venue is slated to open 45 minutes west of Chicago, in Naperville, in April. Upon opening, The Matrix Club will boast a banquet and convention space, complete with a pre-function area, executive suites, and bridal rooms, spanning 20,000 square feet. The expansive area will be able to welcome as many as 2,220 fans for a concert or 1,250 guests for a banquet. Planners can also expect the 6,500-square-foot Matrix Room Restaurant, Bar, and International Music Lounge for up to 225; a 7,000-square-foot performing arts theater with 220 auditorium seats; and studios for dance and yoga classes or think tanks that’ll span 4,000 square feet. An on-site art gallery will also be able to play host to receptions of up to 75, and The Matrix Club’s 7,000-square-foot lobby will surely make for a swoon-worthy entrance to any affair. Aside from complimentary parking and coat check amenities, the venue—located in Fox River Commons—is also set to be modern in design, with state-of-the-art AV capabilities, oversized LED screens for main-stage performances, full-service bars, and custom menus curated by an in-house executive chef. Event pricing will range from $50-$175 per person; inquire within.
