    We cannot say enough good things about our experience at The Westin Chicago Northwest! From the very beginning, we worked closely with Lori, who helped us plan the most perfect day from start to finish. Her attention to detail and support throughout the entire process made everything so easy and enjoyable. Our reception was held in their stunning lakeside pavilion, and it was everything we could have dreamed of. The venue itself was beautiful, offering the perfect atmosphere for our celebration. One of the best parts was how convenient it was for our guests, with the pavilion being connected to the hotel—it made the whole event so seamless for everyone. To top it all off, The Westin gave us a wonderful surprise gift the night of our wedding, which made us feel even more special and appreciated. It was such a thoughtful touch that added to the overall magic of the day. Overall, The Westin Chicago Northwest was the ideal wedding venue for us, and we are so grateful for Lori and the team for helping us make our day absolutely unforgettable!
