Even the most beautiful Chicago home (and seasoned host) can quickly be outpaced by the demands of menu planning, setting arrangements, and vendor coordination. Enter Salon 61: Chicago’s premier boutique event venue. Located in the heart of River North at 61 W. Hubbard Street, Salon 61 is the one of newest venues from famed restaurant group Lettuce Entertain You. Designed for those who love to host but want to experience their party as a guest, this sophisticated venue blends the warmth of a private residence with the scale and service of a world-class hospitality team.
Whether you are planning an intimate dinner party or a lavish gala, Salon 61 offers unrivaled layout flexibility with multiple setups for a dance floor, a stage, or custom seating. The venue seamlessly adapts to your headcount, comfortably accommodating up to 125 guests seated and up to 250 guests for a cocktail-style reception.
The venue features two stunning, architecturally distinct rooms that function beautifully as standalone spaces or flow together seamlessly as one collective venue. The Library is ideal for an intimate dinner or a sophisticated cocktail hour, enveloping guests in warmth with rich, wood-paneled walls and deeply elegant, coffered cherry wood ceilings.
The Atrium is a breathtaking, light-filled masterpiece accented by a fully vaulted glass ceiling and large operable windows overlooking the historic courthouse across Hubbard Street. Accentuated by a striking checkered marble floor and a pair of grand crystal chandeliers, the Atrium offers an airy, editorial atmosphere perfect for luncheons and cocktail receptions.
