ALLURE Visit to Harry Caray's Chicago

Today we had a wonderful site visit and lunch at Harry Caray's on Kinzie in Chicago. Our wonderful host Gabi Dorsh Harry's off premise catering diva treated us to a fabulous meal. We started out with Harry's new item buffalo calamari...amazing! Dutchie's Salad - caramelized walnuts, grilled chicken, Gorgonzola, mixed greens and raspberry dressing was perfection! Never skip the dessert...apple pie a la mode and tiramisu was shared by all to finish our perfect lunch!

After our wonderful lunch we toured the upstairs event space that can host up to 180 seated 300 reception style. Did you know they can host up to 1500 guests comfortably at Harry's Kinzie location? What a great idea for a holiday party. Great food, great atmosphere, great location what else can you ask for?!

Next we jet setted via cab to their Navy Pier location. A more casual dining experience but WOW what a location! At a prime location ... right at the main entrance of Navy Pier, with a fabulous patio with a lake view, it was a typical packed summer day at Harry's Tavern at Navy Pier!

Special Thanks to Gabi Dorsch, Off Premise Catering Sales Manager at Harry Caray's Catering & Events!! You can visit her at Harry's located 33 West Kinzie Street Chicago, IL 60654 www.harrycarayscatering.com.

Q & A Session Part 3 with Jiwon McCartney

Jiwon McCartney is the Managing Director of

ALLURE Event and Meeting Productions.

What do you love about your job?

The fast pace, the different people, the challenges and the excitement of the unknown potential to go above and beyond expectations as well no two days are ever alike with this profession. It truly is a profession as there is too much involvement to call it just a “job”.

ALLURE is all about "taking care of the details," what does that entail?

We take care of the detail…so you can enjoy the moment. This means we do the leg work and manage your vision so you can experience the plans. Most clients are absorbed with making the right decisions to receive the highest compliments, attendance or satisfaction by the attendees during the planning stage. This can keep the client exhausted for months. This is the client’s job so to speak. Then to think of actually implementing it all to action is almost unthinkable after the time consuming decision process. Well that’s where we become a client’s must have resource. We take care of the details without taking over the details. We work with our clients as an extension not as the focal point. We want to make sure that your ideas and decision are kept intact as yours not ours. We will absolutely submit our recommendations to enhance or supplement but not overtake. We also help in the decision process making sure our clients have the best or the industry at their disposal to make their decision. So all in all it “entails” a lot in many different ways. Hence all clients and projects are unique as we never know how much or how little a client needs our services. This is always customized per client, per event.
