Tell us what makes your business different from other wedding companies?
Galleria Marchetti is unique in the Chicago wedding landscape because it is both a full-service catering company and a beautifully finished venue. With thoughtfully designed spaces and many in-house décor options, couples don’t need to build their wedding from scratch. By providing both the venue and the cuisine under one roof, we dramatically reduce the number of outside vendors required—making the planning process more seamless, efficient, and enjoyable for our clients.
What three words describe you or your business best?
Timeless, charming, and expansive. Galleria Marchetti isn’t designed to chase trends that come and go. Instead, we blend old-world Italian charm with sophisticated, modern European style to create spaces that feel enduring and elegant. With generous indoor and outdoor room to celebrate, our property offers both beauty and a rare sense of openness in the city.
What is something you constantly strive for?
We constantly strive for authenticity. Galleria Marchetti was founded by my father as a celebration of Italian culture—from classic Ferraris to Italian food and wine—and that original vision still guides everything we do. I am deeply committed to building on that foundation by choosing what is real over what is easy or artificial. Our Venetian plaster walls are authentic, our travertine floors are real stone, and every dish is prepared from scratch. We don’t cut corners—because authenticity can’t be faked.
