Have Our Restaurant-Row Location All to Yourself

Bespoke Cuisine is the destination for easy and amazing gatherings, meetings and celebrations. We provide the one-stop convenience of a restaurant along with the privacy and exclusivity of an event venue.

Bespoke Cuisine, one of the city’s top boutique caterers, opens its spacious kitchen where guests can watch the fun in action while enjoying the adjoining loft-like private room – it’s like having your own place on Chicago’s Restaurant Row. Our warm inviting space is the ideal spot for sit-down dinners up to about 40 guests and cocktail parties for up to 75 guests.

Having a party at Bespoke involves similar costs as having a party other rental venues, including staffing, rentals, bar setup and possibly a room rental fee.

Room Features & Rentals

The room has 25 chairs, three café tables (low or high), and two wooden harvest dining/buffet tables available, depending on your setup. Renting linens for the cafe tables is required. Other rentals such as glassware, china, flatware, and additional tables or chairs is at the client’s option. Alternately, disposables can be provided. Our room has a multi-speaker stereo system equipped with an MP3 hookup. We have two flat-screen TVs with DVD capability. We offer candle decor, and can provide floral for an additional charge, or clients can bring in their own floral. The room is also festively decorated for the holidays.

Staffing
There is a three-staff minimum for events at Bespoke, and more staff may be required. Rates are $30 per hour for the first staff person/supervisor, and $23 per hour for each additional staff, with a 5-hour inimum which includes 1 setup hour, 3-1/2 event hours and ½ teardown hour. For events more than 3-1/2 hours, we charge for the actual number of total hours required.

Beverages & Bar Setup
We are BYOB. Our $3 per-person bar setup fee includes equipment, ice, garnishes, and liquor liability insurance, as well as disposable cups if necessary. We can provide soft drinks and mixers at an extra charge, but most clients bring in all beverages. Clients must inform us of their bar offerings and have beverages delivered 5+ hours in advance to ensure proper bar setup.

Room Rental Fees & Minimums

Pricing is based on specific menu selections, party size and party duration. For clients meeting a $1,500 food-purchase minimum ($2,000 in December), there is no room rental fee. For events not meeting these minimums, the difference between the actual food price and the minimum will be charged as a room fee.

Booking an Event

To secure an event at Bespoke prior to four weeks before the event, we require a $500 date-hold deposit. Four weeks prior to the party (or for events booked within 4 weeks of the event date), a 50% percent deposit is due. The balance in full is due at the conclusion of the party. We accept Visa, MC, Amex, and checks.
