Private Events

Photo of a private event McCormick Place has been home to several annual social/charitable gala functions, and we welcome this type of event. Our ballrooms and pre-function space, some of which is outdoors - and most offering lake or city views - are ideal venues for receptions, banquets, entertainment, and silent auctions.

The Arie Crown Theater is also often used in conjunction with a ballroom, for the entertainment component of a private corporate or social event.

Our catering partners, SAVOR... Chicago at McCormick Place, can help you plan and customize the most upscale, creative menus you can imagine; and the quality of our food and banquet service will exceed your expectations every time.

For your guests we offer 5,800+ on-site parking spaces, most of it indoors; and we can also serve you with valet parking. Finally, the attached Hyatt Regency McCormick Place offers 800 deluxe sleeping rooms for those who choose to spend the night.
