APW Garden

APW Garden is a private outdoor venue in Chicago available to hire for celebrations, business gatherings and community events. Its garden setting offers an alternative to a traditional indoor function room, with greenery, flowers and a fenced layout that organisers can adapt to suit their plans. The space is used for occasions such as birthday parties, private celebrations, weddings, showers, brunches, corporate events, meetings, performances, fundraising activities and product launches.

The garden features a 25-by-25-foot pergola, a cement patio and a grass area. Electrical outlets are available for audio-visual equipment, extra lighting or a DJ setup. A small selection of furniture is provided, including two tables, chairs and egg chairs. Organisers can bring additional furniture and decorations or arrange rentals through a preferred supplier. There is also an outdoor grill for barbecues, while food preparation in a kitchen is not available. A maintained portable toilet is provided on site.

The venue is generally open for events from May to October, and hire is charged by the hour with a three-hour minimum. Capacity depends on the event layout and the number of tables and chairs, with the site able to accommodate up to 100 people in a more open arrangement. Organisers handle their own event setup and clear-up, with limited time included around the booking. Bar service can be arranged separately. APW Garden is therefore suited to planners seeking a flexible garden space where they can shape the atmosphere, layout and event details themselves.
