Our daughter-in-law Brandy Dennehy used to work with you guys. She made a dennehy mirror which is…read moreexceptionally cool. She gave it to us and we have to figure out where we will hang it. We just remodeled our lower level, so we probably will hang it in there. Very ornate, it reminds me of the stainglass windows in old cathedrals.

Jenny in particular was a treat to work with -- she shares my love of musical theater and was very open to any style of music I wanted to pursue. Cody and Michele were also great on the admin side; they were diligent about reminders and communication, as well as super helpful with scheduling conflicts. I highly recommend the Music Connection to adult students and to any parent who wants their child to take lessons in a caring, fun environment.

After 5:00 summer series Wednesday wine down:I recently visited this Little Black Pearl, and I have…read moreto say the energy when I walked in was great. I was surrounded by such positive, welcoming people of all ages. Throughout the night, we sang karaoke, played cards, shot pool and listened to good music. What really stood out to me was how safe, inclusive, and comfortable the environment felt. Everyone was so kind and genuine. But what truly touched my heart was how the community embraced my brother, who is special needs. There was no judgment only acceptance, laughter, and open arms. For the first time in a long time, I didn't feel like I had to be on guard, watching to make sure he was being treated with respect because everyone just welcomed. It was a relaxing night filled with connection and joy. I would absolutely come back and recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, warm, and safe space. Thank you for such an unforgettable expeience.

The organization for which I work recently held an event at Little Black Pearl (LBP). The support…read moreand service we received was beyond stellar! LBP provided the space, catered the food (via their onsite cafe, Carver 47), connected us to amazing balloon and floral vendors, and provided other accoutrements (e.g., tables and chairs, table coverings, a stage, sound and tech support, package management). LBP's one-stop shop especially helpful given that our planning team resided outside of Chicago. There is so much to applaud from the experience: the warm and inviting space exuded elegance; the feast was as beautiful as it was delicious; and the LBP team's interactions with us (from planning to completion) was the epitome of grace and hospitality. They accommodated every request and did so with an exceptional level of excellence. When we asked that the menu include a vegetarian and Halal dish, they ensured guests had multiple options. When we requested assistance erecting our banner, they took on the task of assembling the entire structure, even machine washing and drying it when they noticed a stain. Compared to other spaces we considered (and have used in the past) across the city, LBP's offerings and support stood head and shoulders above and their love was palpable in their attention to details.That they have a heart-centered mission and work in support of youth and community was tasty icing on an already amazing cake. Thank you, Little Black Pearl team, for making our event a world-class experience!

I can't recommend Elite Dance Academy enough! When I was researching dance studios 8 years ago, I…read morewas drawn to Elite's programs and principles. Dancers are taught the art of dance through education and fun! The teachers educate the students on the true meaning of dance. My daughter has grown to love everything about Elite and calls it her second home. We are comfortable and confident that not only is she learning a true art form, she is being loved and cared for as well. The owners, teachers and staff are remarkable, and we are very happy to be part of the Elite family! We look forward to many more years and will recommend it to everyone around! Daniela Angjelkoski

One of the best parts has been the friendships my daughter has made. The dancers support and cheer each other on, creating a space where everyone feels valued. The teachers are absolutely fantastic--passionate, patient, and dedicated to helping each dancer reach their potential while having fun along the way. I'm so grateful for the experience we've had at Elite Dance Academy. It's more than just a dance studio--it's a place where kids can thrive, build lifelong friendships, and feel inspired every day. Highly recommend! Laura Vistine
