This review is going to be short and sweet…read more I was here a few weeks ago for a concert/performance. It was a really nice location, it had good sound. The performance was pretty awesome. I'd never have visited here if not for this performance, so I'm glad I got to check it out. I wish I'd have been able to poke around- the space looks so cool!

We used Artisan Events after getting them as a recommendation from friends and they were wonderful…read moreto work with! We worked with John for our engagement photos and then he teamed up with Erika for our wedding. They were an amazing team to calm nerves and make sure what we spoke about during the planning process came to life. I appreciated the fact they have a streamlined planning process - a document will be shared with you months out from the wedding that you fill it out as an overview of what you want and it helped ensure nothing was forgotten or misunderstood. There were little moments during the wedding day I was so grateful for them (e.g. definitely left without my bouquet and John suggested I might want it :)) where they do a little extra or coaching to keep things moving. We joked that Erika was our MVP - every time we stopped for photos she had some new amazing angle she planned to get by scaling a wall, climbing a tree, etc.! Our photos were turned around really quickly and are exactly what we hoped for. Definitely would recommend!

Artisan Events was the very first vendor we booked after getting engaged. We heard from other…read morefriends that finding the right photographer was one of the most important parts of planning of wedding because after the day is over you want beautiful, perfect pictures to have forever. We found them on the knot and the minute we walked into their space in Chicago and met we AJ we knew we had found our perfect photography company and even decided to go with AJ as our photographer. My husband and I currently live in AZ and the Artisan Events team made long distance planning and booking so easy and convenient. AJ and her team showed up on time to our hotel, they were friendly, professional, and made us laugh and feel comfortable. The first thing she did was give me hug and gushed about how she's been looking forward to photographing us for so long (due to my husband's deployment we had a 2 year long engagement). Nothing ever felt forced and she took our ideas for our "around town" city scape pictures and turned them into something more than we ever could have imagined. AJ and her team captured every moment perfectly and we are absolutely obsessed with our pictures. I cried when I saw them and my family did too, because they are that breath taking. We decided not to go with a videographer, but just looking through all of the still photos brings us back to that day in vidid detail. We cannot say enough good things about Artisan Events and AJ and their team. We would recommend them time and time again!

My sister was invited to this space for 'Taste of Puglia' on a Thursday night from 6-9 by the…read moreItalian Chamber of Commerce (and other organizations)where she gets emails. It's a modest but stylish space that features exhibits, seminars, not necessarily with an Italian theme. With a fresh snow falling we entered, left our names in the foyer and headed in. There was a coat check too, complimentary. There were pasta demos, wine, food samplings and cooking(pasta, bread, sausage, biscotti, risotto with mussels) and a few speeches. As a tasting event there wasn't much room for sitting, which is fine, but aside from hearing a little about how food is prepared, I had to look online to find out WHERE Puglia is: it's part of the heel of the boot of Italy! I didn't see any maps around but that's not the fault of the place at all. It's a beautiful, bright space for learning and partying. They are having a NYE party and I may have to consider it.

I would give this zero stars if I could just for the sheer fact that this snowflake started yelling…read moreat me when I had the audacity of asking when they were going to show up? We had an appointment at 9:00 am and it's currently 2:22 pm. Now mind you, we had chores and things to do around the house, so the fact that they were here at 9 wasn't a problem but show up at some point!! And by no means yell at me when I question your scheduling capabilities not to mention you lied and said you were the owner when the other day you said you were just the scheduler. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY JUST FOR THE SHEER FACT OF THE SNOWFLAKE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PHONE!! DO BUSINESS BETTER!!

Wonderful photography, great people…read more We met Joe at Indie Wed a few years ago and immediately knew Couple of Dudes were the photographers for us. He and Lawrence have fun, easygoing personalities - which makes taking photos so much easier. They're calming, awesome to hang out with. Joe and Lawrence had an incredible ability to capture our personalities perfectly. My wife and I aren't great at relaxing or being the centers of attention. But with COD everything seems natural. They were able to make us feel loose, feel natural - which is so important in wedding photography. As businessmen, they're very easy to work with. They were responsive to our concerns. They had wonderful suggestions to fit our personalities, easy to get a hold of, easy to talk to. We also recommend signing up for the grin shack! My wife and I weren't sure if we wanted it/how many people would participate. The Grin Shack was one of the highlights from the night. We can't imagine having the wedding without it.
