The perfect kickoff to our chicago wedding
We have been to Tortoise Club many, many times and absolutely loved our experiences so it was a no brainer to host our rehearsal dinner in their beautiful space. We couldn’t of been happier with the planning process and execution of the event. Kelli is an absolute dream to work with and made planning a breeze. She was helpful and responsive at all times. Our guests were floored by the food, the staff, and the live jazz! It was the perfect kick off to our Chicago wedding weekend and I wish we could go back and do it again. I wouldn’t change a thing if we could because Tortoise Club was nothing short of perfect. Cannot stress enough how you should host your event here!
60 Friends to celebrate my dad
I held an event here with 60 friends and family to celebrate my dad, and it was an amazing night thanks to Tortoise Club staff and the event manager. This place is one of a kind! I rented out the library room for cocktails and hors d’oeuvres. The food is top notch and the open bar prices easily fit into my budget. I got so many compliments for how well done the party was, when it reality, it was Kelli’s thoughtfulness and attention to detail during planning that made it happen. Highly recommend!
