Leave a ReviewThe Carter Chicago is a great place to have an event. One day after we found out our venue was going out of business and our wedding was in less than three months, we found The Carter. From day one of working with Chris we new we were going to have a special day. He was honest and most accommodating. The venue was perfect and it came with tons of extras such lighting and lounge seating. We had the ceremony outdoors under the lights...it was beautiful. The food was great, especially the late night snacks of sliders and grilled cheese. The best thing that happened to us was our first venue went out of business. I would recommend The Carter and Chris to anyone!
