Jerry and the team at Parkway Banquets were very helpful in planning our special day. Communication was mainly through email and phone which worked well to coordinate details. The venue itself was beautiful and spacious, especially for the price. On the day-of, Jerry and staff were attentive to make sure things flowed smoothly. There seems to be some miscommunication around salad selections but overall the food was great, and it was a beautiful, memorable wedding that we really enjoyed.

We absolutely loved getting married at Loft Lucia on Saturday, July 27th! We had our ceremony and reception on-site inside and our cocktail hour upstairs on the rooftop for 70 guests. The space is incredible and is gorgeous in both the daylight, with tons of natural light, and at night (the lighting was perfect with just candles)! Rebecca and the Loft Lucia team made the entire process easy, and were very responsive and always extremely helpful. We are so happy with our decision and could not recommend Loft Lucia more!

I had the most magical wedding experience at Georgios this past December, and I can't recommend it enough for anyone looking to host their special day! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. I stayed the night before the wedding in one of their beautiful whirlpool suites, which was not only spacious but also perfect for having my bridal party join me while getting ready. It was a great way to start the day and feel relaxed before the big moment. The hotel has such thoughtful amenities, and I loved that I could book a meeting room to get my hair and makeup done the day of the wedding. It was spacious, private, and comfortable for everyone involved. The guys had their own suite to hang out and relax before the ceremony, which helped keep everything calm and stress-free for them as well. As for the ceremony itself, we held it in the Clarion Room, which was absolutely breathtaking. We went with an evening wedding and dim lighting, which created such a romantic and intimate atmosphere that truly made the moment feel magical. It was just perfect. After the ceremony, we moved to the Ravinia room for the reception, and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better space. The room was elegant, the ambiance was on point, and I had it themed for Christmas, which added such a festive and cozy touch. The food was amazing—delicious, flavorful, and beautifully presented. And the cake… it was perfect! I still hear compliments about it from our guests. A special shoutout to Tricia, the banquet manager. She was incredible from start to finish. She made sure everything ran smoothly, anticipated our needs, and handled every detail with such professionalism. I felt like I was in good hands the entire time, and I can’t thank her enough for making our day so memorable. Overall, our experience at Georgios was everything we dreamed of and more. If you're planning a wedding, this is definitely the place to consider. Thank you, Georgios, for helping make our day so perfect!

I loved having my wedding at Ruffled Feathers. It is a beautiful venue to begin with, so there was very little that we had to to feel wedding ready. Everything went seamlessly and Kiley was a great day of coordinator, making sure that we had everything we needed. The food was outstanding and everyone raved about our cake which is provided from Orland Bakery. Everything felt so easy in those final days leading up to the wedding and it was so much to do with having everything at Ruffled Feathers and the amazing work they do.

The venue is truly amazing. The terrance for our ceremony looked over the Michigan Lake and the City of Chicago Skyline. The indoor area to eat and dance shows a great classy and modern decor. The venue definitely speaks for itself, and does not require much decorations to reflect a beautiful wedding. One downside we experienced was communication. My wife and I were shocked on some of the responses. This was our first time getting married, and some of the communications back to us made it seem like we should know everything about the wedding industry. We also had to repeat multiple emails and communications even though this information was given to another college at the venue.

As a DJ, I've had the opportunity to work with many venues in the Chicagoland area. The Bridge in Lemont is by far my favorite venue. The space is designed to give guests an outstanding experience in a beautiful building with several areas to keep the experience fresh, instead of being stuck in a stale hotel ballroom for six hours! The facility is purposely designed to make working in the space a breeze for vendors like myself. Finally, the staff—from the owners to the bartenders—are the best we work with. They care for both the clients (couples getting married) and the vendors, always keeping the best interests of the event's outcome in mind. I will always choose a Bridge Lemont wedding over another inquiry because it is guaranteed to be an amazing wedding.

Lacuna Lofts is unlike any wedding venue we have seen, and we are so glad that we were able to have our wedding there. The skydeck is our favorite part, with that insane view of the city. I was not prepared for that moment when I was walking down the aisle, with all of the people that I love staring back at me, and that beautiful skyline in the background. The inside is even more unique! We loved the artwork mixed in with the warehouse, and were able to get some great pictures beforehand with the bridal party inside the building. I have never seen any other space like this, and our guests absolutely loved the food quality and the service. It was an excellently executed party, with no line at the bar and constant attention from the staff. We couldn't have asked for a better night!

We had our wedding at the Bottom Lounge in May of 2023. We always thought getting married in the city would be above our budget, however the Bottom Lounge is an amazing West Loop venue that is affordably priced. The space is a gorgeous city loft space, and does not require much decor as the space is stunning. Natalie M. is the best part of the Bottom Lounge. She is an expert in weddings and wedding decor and will help you have the best day. Natalie managed our decor and did an incredible job - everything looked perfect. She also managed our timeline once we were in the space, vendors, our bridal party and a full staff who kept our night on time and stress free. Many of our guests told us that it was the best wedding they had ever been to and a lot of that had to do with the venue. The food was incredible, the bar was managed well (no lines) and Natalie works hard to make it an amazing day and keep it within your budget. We cannot recommend the Bottom Lounge enough!

Awarded Best of Zola
I couldn't be happier with our decision to book The Carter as our wedding venue! The staff made the night go flawlessly. My wedding coordinator even commented how impressed she was with how quick their staff was able to move throughout setup during the day. She also complimented the catering coordinator as being a complete pro. With The Carter you are required to use their caterer, D'Absolute, but that was not a problem for us because the food was phenomenal. Wedding food can be hit or miss, but we had multiple guests raving about everything from the apps to the late night snacks. Chris allowed us to include 2 signature drinks and customized our bar menu to whatever we wanted. Since I got married on my birthday Chris even upgraded our glassware free of charge which was such a sweet, unexpected gesture! They are very flexible with how you want to use the space, which I loved because we were able to make the event truly unique. What sold me on the space is that you don't need to add much additional decor because it's so beautiful on its own. The connecting courtyard comes with string lights. The interior space includes multiple chandeliers and string lights over the dance floor. Most other places you'd need to bring those details in, and pay for them. What I also love about the space is you get the "lofty, urban" feel without all of the pillars/poles in a typical loft space. You get high ceilings and an open floor plan, which makes the space look so much nicer (in my opinion). The cost is a little pricier than other venues we explored, however I 100% think we paid for higher quality and I have zero regrets.

The event staff are great to work with. Sabrina, Olivia, and Kate were all very responsive and accommodating throughout the entire planning process. The food was delicious! We had 2 bartenders for our party of 100 people. No one ever had to wait for a drink. Security was made available to keep wedding crashers out. We had a cocktail style party for our reception under the white tent since we got married in June. Unfortunately it rained a little before the party but ended 30 min into it. The tent protected us pretty well, but the floor was wet near the edges of the tent the rest of the night. We did have the option until the morning of to switch our reception to inside of the Napolita restaurant. But, I spent a year planning this outdoor party and didn't want to change it, lol. It was nice to know that they were flexible and waiting to help out in any way they could. If you choose to have an outdoor wedding/reception under a tent and are worried about potential rain, ask for the tent side panels as a precaution. Those cannot be provided last minute, unfortunately. But, the tent space is amazing for a ceremony and/or reception! Millennium Park is a beautiful backdrop, so you can't go wrong with this venue.

We had Ravi do the catering for my daughter's wedding, which was at The Old Post Office in 2022. The tasting we had was fantastic, as a result we ended up offering more varieties of appetizers than originally planned, they were all amazing! The dinner options we chose were over the top! In addition my daughter wanted a dessert that wasn't on Ravi's menu, but he made it happen for her. Fast forward to 2024, my daughter is expecting and I was beginning to plan a baby shower for her. I called Ravi and found out he had become the caterer of choice for The Oak Brook Manor. Ravi bent over backwards to give my daughter the perfect baby shower. The facility is beautiful, and of course the food outstanding! We had 40 people, some of the choices of food we had were the siracha chicken, which everyone loved & my favorite!!! Swedish meatballs, not one was left over. Pulled pork, amazing. Mac & cheese, loved it! Vegetarian pasta salad, a big hit. Our guests went back for 2nds & 3rds and everyone loved it. I would, without a doubt, recommend Ravi. His food choices and quality go above and beyond. The venue itself is perfect. I would use Ravi in a heartbeat and know that he would be providing the best ingredients, service, location, and on-hand help/experience!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I were looking for a wedding venue for our June wedding and stumbled on this location based off other Zola reviews and we are so grateful we did. The venue is absolutely beautiful. Its everything I wanted in terms of it being and open rustic vibe. We added very little decor to the space because the space is beautiful in its own right. We got so many compliments about how beautiful the venue was and the patio space. We had both our ceremony and reception here. Jen was a joy to work with. She was super responsive easy to communicate with and answered revert single question I had. Would highly reccomend if you’re looking for a beautiful open ceremony/reception space. You will not be disappointed.

This review is long overdue! If you are looking for amazing food and service for your wedding, cocktail party, corporate event, or honestly, ANY event catering and service you need, you can’t go wrong with Lisa and her team at Kuma’s. One of the top three important items we wanted to concentrate on for our wedding was the catering (food and service). We have been big fans of Kuma’s for a long time which led me to look at them for our catering needs. We looked at a few places which we thought would work for our vibe, but after meeting with Lisa, we knew we had to have Kuma’s catering. Starting with the tasting, refining the menu before the day, as well as the actual day, Lisa was extremely responsive and communicative and really worked with us and our budget to make sure our day was memorable and special. Their sliders are exceptionally delicious (make sure to get the chicken Iron Maiden), and despite them being known for their burgers, Kuma’s has the capability to accommodate all sorts of dietary restrictions including vegans, vegetarians, those with gluten free and dairy allergies, and even the pickiest of kids! We had nine kids attending our wedding and I was concerned they would not enjoy the sliders as much as the adults. Lisa offered to provide a tray of chicken tenders with sauces for the kiddos to accommodate them to go along with the mac and cheese we had put on the menu. Moreover, everything is prepared fresh and never frozen, which is remarkable in today’s market. The basil vinaigrette used for the house salad was made fresh the day of and if I could, I’d buy a bottle every week. Furthermore, there are special items you can only get with catering, and we highly suggest ordering the buffalo chicken bites, jalapeno popper bites, and especially the artichoke dip. They were out of this world amazing. Everyone left extremely satisfied and we still get compliments on how amazingly delicious the food was, not to mention the exceptional level of service. Lisa was extremely attentive and beyond helpful with set up and clearing and made sure we didn’t have anything to worry about at the end of the night. Nick, our bartender, was super helpful with last-minute tasks before guests arrived, and made sure everyone had a drink and were taken well care of. As I said before, we were big fans of Kuma’s prior to our wedding and this experience just cemented our love for them even more. We will definitely use them for our catering needs in the future. If you are looking for something unique and special that will have everyone remembering your event in the best possible way, we highly recommend you book Kuma’s!

The menu that they helped create was absolutely delicious. Our guests kept going back to all of the food stations, making sure they had sampled every item on the menu. The staff made all of our guest feel at home, even though the majority were from out of town. Being able to go out on the terrace during the evening reception allowed our guests to experience the beautiful Chicago skyline and get some air in between dances.

In the last few months, the Pinstripes team was wonderful to work with and helped accommodate our changes in plans with COVID. Their staff is fun, energetic, and experts in event planning. We hosted our rehearsal dinner at Pinstripes this year in the cocktail room down by the beautiful river and we cannot wait to host our larger reception next year in the ballroom. The location (right next to Navy Pier) is optimal and the outside/inside flexibility was greatly appreciated. During and after our rehearsal dinner, our guests thanked us several times for the delicious food at Pinstripes. The event planning team has been great to work with --through tastings, room setup, and again, re-planning our entire event with COVID. If you're looking for a great location, delicious food, a rustic setup on the river, and a great planning team, look no further! Wedding planning is already quite time consuming and a few Pinstripes below alleviated so many of our stresses throughout: Jessica Randel has been very responsive and proactive throughout her time with us--we had to make significant changes to our plans due to COVID and she helped bring our new vision (keeping everyone as safe as possible while maximizing our rehearsal dinner experience). She's helped us change our 150 person wedding to an intimate rehearsal dinner gathering outside, expertly advised us on various dinner services and setup, helped us safely manage new Chicago COVID rules (that changed week to week), and during the week of she kept us abreast of the weather and proactively guided us into a stress-free scenario. We cannot wait to work with her next year as we reschedule our big wedding reception in the downstairs ballroom. My husband and I also cannot thank Sherry Kenny, Diana Grodecki, and Jeremy Hopkins enough for the excellent expertise and service-driven customer experience. Sherry, at Oakbrook Pinstripes, provided us invaluable advice as we were navigating our COVID change in plans and managing through the changing circumstances in Chicago. Diana worked with us during the early phases, making our wedding tasting and early planning experience with my family a blast. At our rehearsal dinner, Jeremy ensured that every one of our guests received the top food and drink service, that his staff took precautionary measures, and that everyone had a phenomenal time. These efforts on your wedding weekend make a huge difference and we couldn’t have been more happy with our rehearsal dinner evening. We cant wait to finalize our big wedding reception plans with them in 2021 and return for another great experience.

I will always remember Park Hyatt so fondly because they truly gave us our Best Day Ever :) My initial experience was Park Hyatt was a little bit bittersweet due to being handed over through multiple coordinators without any good real communication on who to reach out to (a lot of very sudden turn over occurred throughout our long planning period). That was difficult to deal with because it was re-inventing the wheel multiple times and a lot of re-communicating things that had already been discussed. However, once Vanessa stepped into the picture in Sept 2022, I immediately felt SO much relief. She was so sweet, so organized, such a great communicator, and really did everything she could to make our day the best day ever - and she and her team absolutely delivered. I will sincerely miss getting to interact with her, because she was just that awesome!!! Park Hyatt as a whole did a great job, too. For the sake of transparency, I will say the billing department was a little difficult to get through to at one time made some kind of odd billing mistakes that seemed to stem from lack of communication. It was kind of hard to tell because I was getting the information second hand rather than talking to the billing person directly. That was really the only thing that I'd say was difficult to deal with. But I could always, ALWAYS rely on Vanessa to take care of the issue and in a punctual time period. And prices were great per person for an elevated Chicago wedding experience. Another nice thing is they bundled everything together (food/bev/service/taxes) into one per person price, so you know exactly what you're getting. I can't recommend Vanessa and her team highly enough. I'd relive it all over again if I could!

Perched high above the big intersection of Damen, Milwaukee and North Avenues in an Art Deco masterpiece formerly known as the Northwest Tower—stretching 203-feet tall and the only skyscraper for miles—The Robey captures the storied spirit of Chicago: a bustling, ever-changing, big-shouldered town. Originally designed as an office building in 1929 by the firm of Perkins, Chatten, & Hammond, each of the hotel's rooms, lobby and roof spaces were transformed by Belgian design duo Nicolas Schuybroek Architects and Marc Merckx Interiors. For all event and room block information please reach out to the Robey directly via email or phone.

Loft606 was the perfect venue for our wedding celebration. From the moment we first reached out, their communication was prompt, clear, and flexible - they were always quick to respond to our questions and open to customizing the space to fit our vision. The venue itself was truly unique, with an open and airy loft feel that allowed us to transform it into exactly what we wanted.

Being able to book the venue for the whole weekend was an added bonus, as it allowed us to host our small ceremony, reception, and morning-after brunch all in the same beautiful location.

"I can't recommend Seven Bridges Golf Club enough! From their beautiful ceremony space to the fantastic onsite bar and catering, they truly offer an all-in-one experience that made wedding planning a breeze for us. Our sunset ceremony was absolutely breathtaking, with the sun setting over the rolling hills of the course, creating the perfect backdrop for our special day. The venue itself is stunning, but what really sets Seven Bridges apart is their exceptional staff. Every member of the team, from the waiters to the bartenders, was amazing, but a special shoutout goes to Roisin, who was an absolute gem throughout our entire year of planning. She was always responsive, supportive, and a wealth of knowledge. On the day of our wedding, Jen stepped in and ensured everything went off without a hitch. Her professionalism and calm demeanor were exactly what we needed. As a couple who planned everything ourselves, it was incredibly reassuring to hear our parents rave about the outstanding service they experienced. If you're looking for a venue that combines convenience, elegance, and a top-notch team, Seven Bridges is the perfect choice!"
