Revelry 675 from Exceptional Events by Shuki Moran, set for Grand Opening in Batavia this May

From humble beginnings in Tel Aviv, Israel, to the hustle and bustle of the Big Apple, Shuki Moran is always elevating his creativity and design expertise everywhere he goes. Shuki’s creativity can be traced back to his days as a fashion designer for‘Madness’, a women’s clothing label based out of Tel Aviv. After succumbing to his urge for adventure, Shuki eventually decided to move overseas to Los Angeles, where he rose to manage one of the most prominent catering companies in the city. It was there that Shuki was really able to come into his element of creating unique events and experiences, which lead to the start of Exceptional Events by Shuki Moran. Today, Exceptional Events by Shuki Moran is the one stop shop for all event needs. From luxury weddings, celebrity events, elegant sit-down dinners, to corporate events and fundraisers, Shuki and his team of event producers are able to do the impossible time and time again. Now after 25 plus years, Shuki is ready to announce his dream project… Revelry 675.

Located in the heart of Batavia IL, comes Revelry 675, an all new elegant, luxurious wedding and events venue. Revelry, which is a synonym for dancing and drinking the night away, comes straight from the visual mind of Shuki Moran.

Revelry 675 is located right next door to Batavia’s Veterans of Foreign Wars post. Taking over the previous venue space, Revelry 675 is currently under construction and will be completely remodeled by the beginning of Spring. Revelry 675 will host its’ official grand opening in May of 2022. Taking into account several decades of experience, Revelry 675 is Shuki Moran’s very own venue space, where there are no limits on what can be accomplished for an event. With property ranging from South River Street, all the way to the Fox River, Revelry 675 is able to comfortably accommodate up to 300 guests indoors, with an additional 150 guests on our back patio. Revelry 675 also boasts a spacious 8,000 square foot indoor and outdoor property, which can be utilized anyway you desire for your event.

Aside from the newly redesigned reception area and dance floor, Revelry 675 also offers a large backdoor patio. Freshly painted and adorned with comfortable lounge furniture, Revelry 675’s patio offers a beautiful view of the Fox River and surrounding forest. The serene nature itself is enough to take one’s breath away. A newly built staircase connects Revelry 675’s lush lawn to the back patio, with strings of bistro lighting strung overhead connecting the patio border to the roof. The staircase and backyard leading to the Fox River offer bride’s a beautiful and natural aisle to walk down if they prefer to have their ceremony outdoors. However, if weather does not permit an outdoor ceremony, not to worry! Revelry 675 can offer a specially designed tent made to fit over the back patio that connects to the interior ballroom through beautiful black French doors. So, no matter the weather, your event will always be good to go.

Moving now to the inside of Revelry 675, the newly renovated and redesigned ballroom/ reception area offers close to 5,000 square feet of space. Adorned with gold chandeliers, freshly painted white walls, white marble flooring, elegant lighting fixtures throughout, and black accented windows, Revelry 675 offers a very vibrant, yet luxurious, space to utilize that emphasizes black, white, and gold. Revelry 675’s new bridal suite offers all of our bride’s not only privacy, but comfort as well. With brand new pink sofas and lounge chairs, a make up and hair dresser station, a 36 inch crystal chandelier hanging from a 14 foot high ceiling, and dress storage area, Revelry 675’s bridal suite is sure to put a smile on any bride’s face. In addition to the bridal suite, is our groom suite. Considered to be a unique amenity among venues, our groom suite offers an area to store suits, shoes and other personal items, as well as comfortable seating throughout. Whether the groom suite is used just for storage or an area for the groomsmen to relax, it is essential that both the bride and groom are well taken care of.

Revelry 675 offers a full kitchen that can accommodate any catering crew. From cocktail parties, and buffets, to high-end sit down dinners, our kitchen is fully equipped to handle any type of dining experience. Although Revelry 675 has a list of preferred catering companies, we gladly welcome any catering company that a client prefers to bring in, upon approval. Along with our full kitchen also comes a freshly designed sleek, black bar. Revelry 675 will have an experienced bar staff who specialize in making a wide variety of elegant cocktails. Revelry 675’s bar will also connect to our back door patio, so our guests will not need to walk inside to order a drink. Revelry 675 offers a standard bar package and a top shelf bar package to our guests for their event.

Revelry 675 also offers an extensive list of preferred vendors from music to draping, decor, floral, desserts, and everything in between. Just like with our caterers, upon approval, we always welcome new vendors into our venue for any events. Revelry 675 will also recommend valet service for every event to ensure a smooth flow of traffic through the venue space. We also offer two of our own in house event planners for any of your event needs as well.

Shuki Moran has been in the process of creating Revelry 675 for many years now and we are very excited to open our doors soon to welcome you. We take great pride in being located in the Fox Valley and are looking forward to working with outside wedding planners, local vendors, venues, and to put together the most extraordinary of events for our guests.

We are looking forward to escorting you down the red carpet into Revelry 675.

New event venue in Batavia aims to bring Hollywood-style glamour to Fox Valley weddings

It would take quite a bit for friends and clients of Shuki Moran to believe he had somehow lost his golden touch for event planning or, worse, lost his mind completely.

Moran certainly knows the event planning business, having been involved in fashion design and major event planning for Hollywood stars and other clients in the Los Angeles area for roughly 20 years.

But his closest friends thought he was crazy to put all of his cards on the table and try to make a go of it with his reception hall on the south side of Batavia.

The way Moran saw it, this was no April Fool's joke.

In coming to the Chicago area about 10 years ago to seek places to continue his event planning craft, Moran eventually offered his services from his new home base in Geneva.

More recently, he attempted to land a site along Route 31 in St. Charles to open his own banquet hall. That plan never got off the ground, but he spotted the former VFW banquet site when driving around Batavia and envisioned something special.

Even though the building wasn't in the best shape, he liked the large parking lot, 5,000-plus square feet inside and 2,000 square feet outside near the bike trail and Fox River. Plus, he could fix whatever ailed the building.

In just more than two years, he is well along in turning the empty building next to the VFW Hall into Revelry 675, his new banquet facility at 675 S. River St. in Batavia.

"People told me I was out of my mind and that the building wasn't going to be good, but I liked the site," said Moran. "Now, I have many who thought I was crazy, but now they see it, and they are surprised how nice it is."

Even though the area around Revelry 675 is primarily industrial, Moran is confident his facility will stand out as elegant, classy and worthy of memorable events.

"There's a great view at this site. It is a big building and a huge parking lot," he added. "So, every dream you want is here."

Having grown weary of big-city life in Los Angeles, Moran's desire to bring a level of elegance and a wow factor to event planning in a smaller town brought him to the Tri-Cities area. He and his husband live in Geneva.

The opportunity to plan the spectacular St. Charles wedding for his friends Donnie Wahlberg and Jenny McCarthy in 2014 cemented his love of the area.

Born in Tel Aviv, Israel and eventually coming to Los Angeles in 1990, Moran built an impressive client list while rubbing elbows with Will and Jada Smith, David and Victoria Beckham, and Brooke Burns and Gavin O'Connor.

McCarthy lists Moran as her "go-to guy" for party planning on her website.

Locally, he built a friendship with Michael Knuth, the owner of EvenFlow nightclub in Geneva and the Comedy Vault club at 18 E. Wilson St. in Batavia, not far from Moran's banquet facility.

"We should be able to support each other's businesses," Moran noted. "I couldn't believe it when he told me he was the owner of the Comedy Vault." He added that a group could go to a comedy show the night before a wedding or other event and then "have the reception here at Revelry 675 and have some more fun."

Moran said he was able to avoid the setback of COVID restrictions by spending the worst parts of the pandemic getting plans in order and obtaining needed supplies.

Revelry 675 officially opens on Sunday, May 1, with a grand opening gala set for Friday, May 6. He already has events booked in the summer and fall and some in 2023 -- all before opening his business.

"As soon as we officially open, the bookings will pick up, and there will be a lot of publicity going out," Moran said.

"Slowly, we will always draw more business people here because they will see the city of Batavia and its potential," he said. "I just love it here, and as I look out the back of my building, it's just an amazing place."
