TESTIMONIALS

“Liv and the team at Overflow Coffee made our work event go off without a hitch! The space itself was perfect for socializing and the speaking portion of our breakfast. The food and coffee were delicious as well. Most of my organization is not based in Chicago so I appreciate the time and attention Liv took to make sure we were comfortable with the space by sending pictures and taking several of my phone calls. If we ever have events in Chicago again, we will definitely be working with the Overflow team!”

VOTERS OF TOMORROW (Full Space Rental)

“We wanted to thank you for EVERYTHING you did to help make our event last night a smashing success.  

You were more than helpful, energetic, proactive, and friendly than words can say; and Liv, your expertise and experience, frequent check-ins with us, amazing sense of organization, true kindness, and sincere desire to help us make our event as successful as possible are what carried us through!

The staff was immediately on board to help me move furniture, tables, request coat racks, etc, whatever we needed to doThe space itself was gorgeous and perfect for our fundraiser and the success of the night is in no small part due to the venue and incredibly kind and competent staff.
