The Revel Group

There’s nothing the Revel Group does better than corporate events; we’re the ultimate party planners! As your resident experts on everything celebratory, we have five must-read tips for hosting a corporate event that your employees will love: 1. The Perfect Venue is Essential The venue sets the tone for your event! Finding a space that incorporates your values, your theme, and has the space for all the festivities, is sure to excite your guests. Ditch the typical hotel conference room and opt for a rooftop terrace, art galleries, or even a local brewery. Revel recently transformed the Lincoln Park Zoo into a safari adventure and we can find that perfect, unique venue for you. 2. Delicious Catering is Delightful  We know what they say, food is the way to a person’s heart and Limelight knows how to pave the way. Our talented chefs recommend offering a variety of food options to cater to everyone’s tastes. If you’re feeling adventurous, spring for interactive food stations or gourmet food trucks for that extra element of engaging fun. 3. Engage with Entertainment Speaking of engaging fun, keeping your employees entertained with engaging performances or activities is the best way to become the talk of the office. Invite your employees to relax with a dazzling show, live music, or even virtual reality games! These activities will take your event from a corporate get-together, to a true party. 4. Encourage Team-Building Activities Icebreakers are out, but unique team-building exercises? Those are definitely in. Revel loves activities that foster camaraderie and collaboration, but bring the fun too. Plan activities like escape rooms or scavenger hunts, giving your employees the opportunity to strengthen their bonds and of course win some bragging rights! 5. Make It Personal Finally, personal touches can memorialize your corporate event in office history! Customize with elements that reflect your company culture and values. Revel recommends personalized welcome notes, branded swag, or customized place cards on your tablescapes to demonstrate your appreciation. By focusing on these key elements and creating an inviting party atmosphere, you can craft experiences that foster a sense of community within your company. Here's to planning unforgettable corporate events that your employees will look forward to year after year! #therevelgroup #chicagoeventplanning #chicagoevents #chicagocorporateevents

I’d say we accomplished our mission to #CelebrateBetter this week. 💁🏻♀️

The Revel Group knows your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and we take immense pride in turning your visions of your special day into unforgettable reality; the more avant garde and wild the better! Our approach to party-planning involves close collaboration with our clients, to understand exactly how to bring your dreams to life. One of our all-time favorites we had the pleasure of partnering with Birch Event Design on a rule breaking wedding in the heart of Chicago. Revel Decor adorned theunique venue on the west side in wild green and white floral arrangements, a metallic silver walkway, blue vinyl entry moment and a ceremony in the round that transformed to the dance floor. Limelight catered a gourmet meal with delicious hors d'oeuvres, mouthwatering beef and fish, and an assortment of sweets for dessert. From silvery mirrored place cards to the sleek black tablescapes, this wedding was not every bride’s dream but one amazing family with a real vision. The moment our clients stepped into the venue, the reaction was nothing short of magical: “Holy shit. I will never forget the body chills I felt walking into the space for the first time and seeing all your hard work come to life. Throughout this entire process, you all have been nothing short of amazing. The creativity, the energy, the passion – undeniable. Crae and I might have had a vision, but it was you all who took that vision above and beyond and made it into a fantasy dreamlike reality. You left Kap and I humbled, wonderstruck, and filled with a zeal for what our future has in store. A direct quote from one of our guests – “The food….what a massive highlight. That was not catered food. We were at a fine dining restaurant”. And that fog machine…Kap said when he first walked out of it he felt like Ray Lewis. You all are magical. Thank you. (PS thank you Clint & Chelsey for helping bustle me as well!!!!! What can’t you guys do…..)” Revel is committed to creativity, passion, and unparalleled service, because you shouldn’t have to worry on your wedding day. Focus on the celebration and let Revel handle the rest.

All party people know: an event is only as good as the guests who attend it, and the Revel Group loves to celebrate with the best. Revel’s journey began in the heart of Chicago and giving back to the community is one of our favorite ways to honor our roots. This past May, Revel joined with Marwen, Chicago’s premier after-school program, for a wonderful fundraiser for their 25th anniversary. Marwen supports Chicago’s budding young artists with the space and nurturing they need to grow their skills and build their futures. As long-time supporters of Marwen’s goals, Limelight catering and the Revel Group as a whole were honored to contribute to this incredible cause. From stunning decor to delectable cuisine, the night was an unforgettable experience for the board of trustees, supporters, and staff . Creative mirrored art displays adorned the walls, while a champagne tower of silver glasses shone with the refreshments. It was more than just a celebration; it was a testament to Marwen’s incredible mission and their unwavering commitment to providing access to the arts for Chicago’s youth. A special shoutout to Sarah Finlayson-Banasiak, our Chief Creative Officer and dedicated Marwen Board Trustee, for her tireless efforts and unwavering commitment. Sarah’s passion for the arts and education is truly inspiring, and her dedication to supporting Marwen in-kind and financially has been instrumental in keeping arts education within reach for countless children in our community. The evening was a wonderful blend of art, joy, and community spirit. We are proud to stand alongside Marwen as they continue to empower young artists and enrich lives through art. Here’s to many more years of creativity and impact! Special shout out to auctioneer extraordinaire Molly Morse Limmer & Executive Director Akilah Halley #therevelgroup #chicagoevents #chicagoeventplanning #marwenchicago
