Our Venue | City View Lofts, located in the downtown area of Chicago, features an industrial loft vibe, complete with gorgeous brick walls, beautiful natural light flooding in the windows and picturesque skyline views. We'll also be utilizing City View's downstairs sister venue, Kitchen Chicago. With equally beautiful brick walls, stunningly high ceilings, and a petite garden view, we're excited for Bloom Bash Chicago guests to experience both intimate venues.

Our venue is only a few miles from Michigan Mile shopping, the heart of downtown, Yankee Pier, exciting comedy clubs, delicious restaurants and of course, Lake Michigan.

Photos may be used for personal portfolios. We will also be sharing how to dream up and execute styled shoots of your own!
• Daily insight from a panel of hand-selected experts. We use this time at the end of each day to open the floor to questions of all kinds, nothing is off limits. Our speakers and panelists all have a passion for sharing their knowledge on their craft. You'll find this time very comfortable, casual, and informative as we are open to discussing things as serious as contracts, to as personal as how to balance work and home life.
