About Walden

Located in Chicago’s West Town neighborhood, Walden’s 19,000-square-foot space has been designed with the ultimate event in mind. Light, bright and airy, the modern two-story interior provides a gorgeous blank slate to create the customized event of your dreams. Whether you’re planning a seated dinner for 300 that begins with a cocktail hour at the bar followed by dancing later in the evening or a cocktail reception for 500, Walden provides the perfect setting. The Walden Experience: Our honest and inclusive process promotes design-driven rather than budget-constrained events. Seamless planning and creative production reduce costs and promote collaboration, allowing you to focus on what is most important to you. We accomplish this through full-service event planning, chef-driven cuisine, a modern beverage program, rentals, staffing and other exceptional amenities under one beautiful, environmentally friendly West Town roof. We treat your event like a mosaic, pulling together all the different pieces with the common theme to create a full, unforgettable picture.
