Our Story
- We opened our first two Fulton Market event spaces in 2011, we hosted fundraisers for the Chicagoland rescue community hence the name Chicago Party Animals. We have grown over the years and became home to a myriad of events. Our clients have celebrated life’s milestones, non profits raised awareness through fundraising, companies hosted networking events and artist shared their talents with the community.
- Fulton Market has dramatically changed and as much as we loved our humble spot we decided to move so we can continue offering our clients a unique loft in the West Loop, loaded with amenities and competitive rates.
