Hosting an event at Celeste Chicago?

Discover how your guests can keep the celebration going after hours—from cocktails at the Whiskey Bar to dancing on Garden and Disco, and late-night vibes at Vela.

What Happens After Your Event Ends at Celeste?
The Night Is Just Getting Started.

If you’re planning a private event at Celeste, chances are you’re curating something special—from the guest list to the cocktails to the playlist. But what happens when the official event ends?

Whether your event wraps up at 9 PM or later, the celebration doesn’t have to stop. In fact, it’s only just beginning. At Celeste (and our sister venue, Vela), we offer after-hours experiences that keep the energy alive and your guests engaged.

Here’s how to make the most of your night—even after the main event is over.

Black Out Wednesday with Celest

Sip & Socialize at the Whiskey Bar

After the formalities fade, guests can head downstairs to our first-floor Whiskey Bar. With a moody, lounge-like atmosphere and an extensive craft cocktail and whiskey list, it’s the perfect space to unwind and reconnect.

Whether you’re savoring a nightcap or gathering for one last toast, this cozy floor at Celeste sets the scene for a smooth transition post-event.

Dance It Out in the Garden or Disco

If the vibe shifts from chill to celebration, our Garden floor and Disco floor has you covered. Featuring live DJs and a vibrant dance floor, both floors bring high-energy nightlife just steps away from your private event space.

Want to elevate the experience? Reserve a VIP table with bottle service and give your guests a reason to keep dancing into the night.

Slide Over to Vela

Looking for something a little different? Just down the street, Vela invites your group into a sultry, Mexico City-inspired space with bold cocktails, late-night DJ sets, and warm hospitality.

Signature drinks like the Pulparindo and Carajillo are perfect for guests who want to keep sipping and mingling in a vibrant, intimate setting. It’s a seamless extension of your evening—no Uber required.

One Venue, Endless Possibilities

At Celeste, your event doesn’t end when the lights go up—it just evolves.

Whether your guests want to:
– Lounge with a craft cocktail
– Hit the dance floor
– Reserve a table for bottle service
– Or experience something new at Vela

We’ve created a venue that flexes with your night. Because unforgettable events aren’t about a single moment—they’re about every moment.
