No, not inside the venue or in the parking lot, they are illegal in the city limits of Chicago.

Is a day of coordinator included or available?


A dedicated Venue Manager will work with you and your vendors leading up to the day of your event. This is not the same as a wedding or event planner. We recommend you secure a coordinator. We recommend a walk-through 2-4 weeks out from your event date with your vendors and planner to finalize event logistics.

Do you have climate control / air conditioning?


Yes, we have full climate control – heating and air conditioning.

Do you ever host two events simultaneously?

No, we only host one event per day.

Venue Manager will be onsite during setup and can direct vendors for load in. During the event you will have an onsite manager as well as pre-determined staff – security, porter and bar staff.

What address should be on my invitation?

401 N Morgan Chicago, Il 60642. Unless you are having guests enter through the Hubbard tunnel (975 W Hubbard) , and it has been pre-approved by the Production Office.

Are you pet friendly?

Yes!

Can I bring in my own alcohol?


No, we are not a BYOB venue. Non-profits may bring in donated alcohol, which needs to be accompanied by an invoice from the supplier and be delivered directly to Morgan MFG. A corkage/mixer fee would apply in this scenario.

Can I have my rehearsal at the venue the day before my wedding?

No, we do not offer rehearsals on site.

Can I get ready at Morgan MFG?

We do not have the full accommodations for hair and make up that a hotel or home would have; however, we do offer a green room on each side of the space designated for touch-ups and storing personal belongings for the duration of your rental

Can I extend past a 6 hour rental? How much does it cost?

Yes, an additional charge of $1000 per hour. This is billable in 30 minute increments. Additional charges for the bar package and staff also apply.

What is the latest we can have the event go to?

2:00am

Are you handicap accessible?

Yes

Can I change the bar package after I book?


Yes, your final decisions on the bar package are due 2 weeks prior to your event date. The bar minimum would still apply from contracting.
