Indeed, soon after its opening, the Aragon Ballroom was called 'the most beautiful ballroom in the world.' Crystal chandeliers, mosaic tiles, beautiful arches, extravagant balconies and terra-cotta ceilings combine to create a truly magnificent and unique venue in the Aragon Ballroom Chicago.

Testimonials

  • “My girlfriend and I attended Lobster Bash and were impressed with the event setup. We must have tried over a dozen different bites from a variety of talented chefs, and walked away very satisfied. The room was filled with great artwork and performers, creating a bustling atmosphere, that entertained us when we were in between bites.”

    – Brian M., Event Attendee

  • “Last year was my second time attending Lobster Bash and it was even better than the first. My friends and I decided to spring for VIP and it was well worth it for the early entry, private bar, and lounge seating. Can’t wait for next years!”
