Morgan’s on Fulton Wedding Venue

After touring Morgan's on Fulton 2 years before our wedding, we knew it would be the perfect space for our Chicago wedding. The main reason we felt so drawn to the venue was the warm welcome and incredible hospitality by Kasey Tighe who was our Catering Manager for the majority of our planning. The venue really checked every box - separate spaces for the ceremony, cocktail, and reception, incredible food, and outdoor space. We received countless compliments on our wedding day food; some people even stating it was the best meal they had ever had. The CONS: The venue forgot to pass out champagne upon guest arrival to our ceremony which was a detail we worked so hard to plan. We also found out after our final walkthrough that our Catering Manager, Kasey, was not longer with Morgan's on Fulton. We adored her positive attitude, ability to execute, incredible communication, and quick response time. This is extremely hard to find in the hospitality industry. I know Morgan's on Fulton was purchased by Avli roughly 1-year before our wedding and new ownership always means inevitable change. We had to walk through all of our final details with a brand new contact, Lindsay, 2 weeks out from our wedding day. This caused unnecessary stress. All in all, our day was everything we envisioned and we are so glad that our family and friends were able to experience Chicago at such an amazing venue.

I recently photographed a winter wedding at Morgan's and the photos turned out stunning! The venue was stunning & the staff were helpful. Everything ran smoothly for the day. I'd love to work here again & would recommend this venue!

Morgans on Fulton provided an incredible experience from our first contact all the way through the very end of our wedding day. We worked with Kasey, who is an absolute JOY. She answered every question we had, gave us honest and helpful opinions on how to make our ideas work, and was always one step ahead on making sure we had everything we could possibly need (whether we thought of it or not!). She also made our tasting the most fun day of wedding planning, and helped us narrow down Morgan’s AMAZING food options. I was nervous our 80 person guest count would feel small in the space, but they set it up in a way that the room always felt full and so perfect! Plus, the retractable roof was perfect when it rained for 5 minutes in the middle of our reception, it closed and reopened post-rain without anyone even noticing (or getting wet!)! We’ve had several guests tell us Morgan’s also had the best wedding food they’ve ever tasted- and we definitely agree! In addition, the beverage director worked with us on some wine upgrades that were amazing, he absolutely nailed it on sourcing exactly what we were looking for! All around, I don’t think we could’ve picked a better venue for our wedding- we were SO happy with our experience with Morgan’s and truly can’t thank their staff enough!

The easiest decision we made during wedding planning was booking Morgan’s on Fulton. We loved how beautiful the space is and loved that the enclosure on the rooftop allowed us to enjoy the skyline regardless of what the weather would be. When we did our venue tour, we knew Morgan’s was our venue based on the aesthetic but also were sold on Kasey. Kasey is the kind of person you want in your corner on your wedding day to make sure everything goes smoothly. She is experienced and incredibly knowledgeable, flexible and easy going, and detail oriented. Kasey answered all of our questions quickly, no matter the volume and how silly they were. Prior to deciding our menu, there was a change in the beer options. Our families are big Miller Lite drinkers and that was no longer an option. When we asked Kasey about it, she quickly made the adjustment for us. When the ceremony ends and cocktail hour begins, the servers are walking around with drinks as well as apps but there were not lines immediately after the ceremony. My husband and I have been to countless weddings at this point and one of our concerns about doing late night bites was that it is usually put in the corner away from the dance floor and guests aren’t aware of it. At Morgan’s, the servers will walk around with the late night bites to get the smell in the air and so that guests know there is late night bites. I’m glad they did this because all our bites were eaten and nothing went to waste. After the ceremony, Kasey and her team set up a private table for us to have our drink of choice and all the apps. I mentioned to Kasey that a few bridesmaids will be pregnant and she made sure that there was non-alcoholic margarita mix available at each bar. Kasey and her team has seriously thought of everything to make sure that your wedding or event goes perfectly. The biggest feedback we received from guests was how good the food and drink was. Our wedding was weeks ago and I still have guests telling me how good the meat, apps, and desserts were. The truffle mashed potatoes are honestly to die for. I will also be dreaming about the arancini app for a very long time. We did the spicy margarita as the signature drink and received so many compliments on it. My grandmother who doesn’t drink much enjoyed them so much that she had 2! My husband and I had the best wedding and cannot thank Kasey and the Morgan’s on Fulton team enough!

We picked Morgan's based on the 5-star reviews it got. Seriously. We did! ... From the excellent reviews about the staff, to the response time and FOOD. Then, when we took an initial tour of the venue, we fell in love immediately. And now ... here's OUR 5-star review ... Our guests responses: "The steak is the best I've ever had" "Your venue was perfect" "The vibe was amazing" "That rooftop looked like a movie set" And we felt ALL of that for being true! Lots go into a wedding ... but the venue could be the single most important piece to the day. We worked with Jena ... who was so knowledgeable and responsive. Seriously, over a period of a year of communication and planning, we never had to wait more than a couple hours to get a response to a question ... and it's not like Jena nor Morgan's didn't have anything going on ... they have something every weekend (and it feels like every other day.) She was busy, but never made us feel like she was too busy to answer any question .. big or small! At Morgan's, we LOVED the retractable roof and the views and the "vibe" of the rooftop ... so we wanted all of our "main" events of our day located there ... meaning....the ceremony and the reception/dinner, etc. Jena didn't blink with those requests. Told us we would just need about 60 min to flip the space appropriately, so the venue would escort our guests down one level to the loft room. Equally as cool of a space, and for us, worked perfectly for a 60-90 minute cocktail reception while the crew worked to flip the rooftop from a ceremony space to a dinner/reception space. The loft room was big enough for our 120 guests to mingle and socialize, have appetizers (which were amazing) and drinks as well as entertain themselves with a 360 Photo Booth. Perfect size! Morgan's then was able to escort our guests up to the rooftop seamlessly ... honestly, we got ZERO complaints about the movement piece of our night. So expect all of that with Morgan's .... versatility with the venue, and the different rooms you can choose from .... the friendliness and effectiveness of the staff ... and the incredible menu. Honestly, the menu lived up to its billing. A perfect amount of appetizer choices, entree, dessert and even "late night" bites choices. I mentioned about the rave reviews on the steak ... how can a chef cook 60 steaks perfectly? This chef did! ... Also, we have a gluten-free and vegan family, and we felt very satisfied with the choices on the menu that accommodated EVERYONE's dietary restrictions. One note that could help the next client.... Morgan's does have some furniture and room decoration choices for your event, which would not be an extra cost; however, we felt like those choices were very limited. We wanted table linens for our dinner and cocktail reception, as well as copper mugs for our signature "Moscow Max" drink, (named after our pup pup) ... and all of those things we had to pay extra for. Morgan's did make it easy for us, in ordering the linens, transporting them, taking them down, and they allowed us to provide our own copper mugs. Super helpful with that service. However, if you have a budget, make sure you ask some of those questions beforehand. Take a look at their rental choices on their website and ask about costs for linens, extra chairs, even specific glasses or mugs. We lucked out ... the weather was perfect on a Sept night for our wedding. The rooftop was perfect. The food was perfect. The service (led by Jena) was top notch. It led to the best night of our lives. Thank you, Morgan's!
