Great show, entertaining and overwhelming. No other place I’d rather be!
This happened to be my first time ever going. The friendliness from everyone and the production of the events was incredible. See y’all next year!
Always a great time and always a blast Can't wait for next year
50 minute wait for coat check outside in the cold was a slow/rough start to the party... only two people working a small table. I've seen much better entrance organization at parties of this scale before. Otherwise excellent stage production and DJ. Had a blast once we were finally inside.
Wow. With a high level production, easy check in, friendly staff, and stunning venue, this party is a must. It featured stunning visuals, intoxicating music, gorgeous men, and more…what else can one ask for? It was my first Market Days and the two Circuit Mom parties exceeded my wildest expectations.
We purchased the 2-night party pass and we really enjoyed the Saturday and Sunday night parties. This was my first time attending and I thought they were great. The only thing I didn't really care for was the way the dance floor was closed off until the "big reveal"of the Moulin Rouge opening number (which was a good number) on Sat night. On Sun, I thought the opening production number was twice as long as it needed to be (not every dancer needed a spotlight dance), and I didn't care for the tribal music by the first dj. I preferred the second dj much more (but that is a personal preference). I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these parties to friends, and I will certainly attend again because they are so much fun.
While this wasn't my first Circuit party, it was my first that took place during Markey Days weekend, and I had an absolute blast! I was at first a little miffed at the price of my ticket, but CircuitMOM made it worth every cent with the amazing look and appearance of the event. Had a great time with friends, meeting new people, and I'm sure I'll be back again next year!
My first circuitmom event. Absolutely wow. The production was amazing. Great energy. The organizers really know how to throw a party. Looking forward to attending again in the future.
Music was great, dancers were entertaining, and lights were on point. I left feeling like a new person.
The venue is very cool, and they finally seem to have successfully sorted out issues with air conditioning from previous years. Overzealous security screaming at patrons as if they’re idiots needs to stop. A sweater with “security” doesn’t equal unlimited power. Be decent and treat the people paying your salaries with some respect and you’ll get it back.
From the shows, to the music, to the hospitality of the staff, the ease of check-in, party decor, the cleanliness of the bathrooms… CircuitMOM always delivers and the Aragon ballroom is hands down the best venue in Chicago for it. I’ll keep coming back every year!
Circuit Mom always turns it out! The venue was amazing, dancers were amazing. Nuff said!
I liked the party setup, with one exception, the "holding pattern"till midnight. before the floor was opened. That created big crowds. Others than this party was amazing!!
Market days should have more circuit party options, the last few years was not worthy to pay a very expensive ticket for a bad party with a very poor sound system and no AC. They need lots of Improvement.
Poor organization, the event was labeled to be open at 9, they put us at a different space, the actual event started until 11:30 pm
Great event with awesome music. Lots of lyrics were played, which we loved. Amazing light show and really fun venue.
far exceeded my expectations. the show was great. the people we’re nice.
Wow, what an incredible event and stage show, blew it out!
Overall this is a GREAT event and venue. However it had to be 1 million degrees inside. This venue needs more air conditioning. Other than the heat, great DJ's and production.
Firstly, I was very disappointed in this year’s Market Days events hosted by Circuit Mom/Circuit Som. Having attended zillions of CM’s events over the years, I was sad to see and hear, from both guests from out of town and friends living in Chicago, how disappointed they all were. Both nights at the Aragon Theater were miserably hot. Next year, I hope CM either finds a new venue or works more closely w the Aragon to resolve such issues to ensure everyone has a more comfortable, safe and pleasant time there. I, personally, was ready to leave the first night after being there only 2 hrs. Also, from a health and safety perspective, CM and the The Aragon Theater venue should be very concerned with attendees’ health issues such as the likelihood of heat stroke, and other health and safety related issues such as people falling on the floors due to them being so wet and slippery from trapped humidity which accumulated as puddles on the floor. Secondly, I was upset when friends of mine that had bought tickets well in advance of the event, but who had not saved their digital passes in their digital wallets, were refused admittance and had to stand in line for over an hour because the ticketing system had gone down. Even when they had shown receipts as proof of purchase, they were told that in order to enter they had to provide the bar codes of their tickets. Apparently, there we’re numerous people 15-20 in the same situation that had to stand in line with them. Knowing how much CM and such event organizers make from these events it’s sad to see them handle a situation like this in a manner that appears they’re more concerned with making sure every penny is accumulated rather than providing a good experience for new comers and loyal event participants. Staff needs to be trained how to better escalate such situations rather than putting the oneness on the customer. A number of those that were in this situation told me they would not return next year and would likely choose other event options for Market Days or future CM events rather than risk going through such hassles. This was really ridiculous. I read a response from CM/Circuit Son to these issues that a friend of mine sent to management and rather than accepting them as positive criticisms in which they could improve, he was very dismissive and deflected responsibility defending their mistakes and oversights, many of which I’m certain are against city codes and regulations which could’ve ended up in tragedy. Seems like a huge law suit just waiting to happen to me. So at the end of the day, the more people who hear about these situations, the more it will likely eventually end up hurting CM and like event organizers, if they don’t put the customer experience and safety before money.
