Corporate dinners, conferences, board meetings and weddings for up to 200 guests take place at Morgan's on Fulton, a private event venue on two levels in the Fulton Market district of Chicago. Its top floor, the Penthouse, sits under a retractable, climate-controlled glass enclosure built for use in all four seasons, with an outdoor terrace and views of the skyline.
Seminars and company events
The venue lists conferences, team-building days, board meetings, awards receptions, office gatherings, corporate celebrations, private dinners and larger company events. Basic audio-visual equipment is included in every booking, and the Loft has high-end audio and a digital projector for meetings. A standard rental covers six hours of event time, three hours for load-in and one hour for load-out, and extra time can be added. The venue is fully ADA compliant, and a certificate of insurance is required for each event.
Weddings and receptions
Ceremonies and receptions can both be held on site, for up to 200 guests or 150 at a seated dinner. Couples work with a dedicated sales team and an event captain who coordinates vendors and stays on site on the day. The kitchen writes custom menus for cocktail hour, dinner and dessert, and couples can book a private tasting for up to four people. Late-night bites and other extras can be added. Birthdays and social celebrations are hosted as well.
Rooms and capacities
The Penthouse takes up to 200 guests, or 150 seated for dinner. It has the four-season retractable glass enclosure, an outdoor terrace, indoor and outdoor bars, private cabanas and a sound system. String lights are provided on this level.
The Loft takes up to 100 guests, or 80 seated for dinner. Exposed brick walls and mango wood floors give it a warmer, more enclosed feel, and its audio system and projector suit presentations, receptions and smaller parties.
Catering
Catering is in-house and exclusive. Outside food is accepted only for late-night snacks or desserts. All alcohol is served by the venue, bar packages are built to order, and donated wine or spirits may be allowed against a corkage fee. Bookings include furniture, white napkins, glassware, tableware and service staff, and other rentals can be arranged on request. Organizers can bring their own professional vendors or choose from the venue's curated list. Open-flame candles in hurricane glass are allowed, while glitter, confetti and smoke effects are not.
History and setting
Fulton Market, on the Near West Side, is a former meatpacking and warehouse district that now holds restaurants, offices and hotels. The venue makes use of that setting with rooftop views over the city and plenty of daylight on both levels, which helps daytime meetings as much as evening receptions.
Getting there
Morgan's on Fulton is at 950 W Fulton Market, Chicago, IL 60607. The Morgan station on the CTA Green and Pink lines is a few blocks away, and O'Hare and Midway airports both serve the city.
