A crowded dance floor in the Gold Room beneath its gilded balconies

A Night to Remember

Proms, formals, and school dances in a Chicago landmark, with a dance floor under the chandeliers.

Give Them a Night Worth Dressing Up For

Prom night should feel like an occasion from the moment students walk in. Our historic ballrooms host a seated dinner or a dance with hors d’oeuvres, and our sales team plans the menu, the room, and the details with you, from coat check to the DJ’s power.
