Ovation

Private event hosting is the core offering at Ovation, a Chicago venue housed in a reimagined old foundry. The modern industrial loft is designed for flexible celebrations and private soirées, with bespoke amenities and event expertise available to hosts. During the week, the space also serves as a collaborative workspace for creatives and makers, including DJs, musicians, and graphic designers. At the end of the week, it transitions into an event setting for sophisticated gatherings. Ovation has connections to the Style Matters and String Theory music collectives, while BZAWERKS is associated with the venue's creative community. The venue team includes an on-site manager for events, and its primary focus includes weddings and other private celebrations in Chicago.
