5 Stars in every way possible!

First let me start by saying the Fountain Blue is a five star, fantastic venue with an incredible staff, elegant decor and the most delicious food you could hope for for your special day. We are from the far Southside and when our out of town son decided he and his bride would prefer to have their reception local, we were thrilled. However none of our go to southside locations would work since most of the guest list is from out of town. We went on a rather stressful journey to find the best venue with the most pros on our list. We checked out numerous venues and none of them were anywhere near what we found at the Fountain Blue. That first meeting with Georgia, we knew this was the perfect place. 2 hotels next door, both with free shuttles to o’hare for all our out of town guests, a large free parking lot for local guests, the most beautifully elegant rooms, full length table clothes and upgraded chairs all included. This venue is known for it’s food and we were not disappointed. Actually incredibly thrilled with all the different food options and the vegetarian guests are still raving about their dinners, the bar options are priced fair and offer name brand even at the lower price point . Georgia is amazing and a streesfree joy to work with. She helped with everything. Made suggestions, walked us through all the steps, was always available for questions, and got back to us in a timely and friendly manner. She also always kept our budget in mind. I honestly looked forward to each and every meeting with her. I and my entire family would highly recommend the Fountain Blue to anyone looking for any type of party venue.

Amazing wedding!

The Fountain Blue was very flexible with us through all steps of the process and made wedding planning so much easier! John was amazing and helped me through everything, also the food quality is so good, as good or better than a quality restaurant. At first I was skeptical of a banquet hall but considered it because of the extremely affordable price, bur I honestly think my wedding turned out to be more beautiful and perfect than it could have at any other venue. I'd looked at many expensive venues, from cool new spaces downtown, to high end barnhouses, but ultimately I think the Fountain Blue was better than anything else out there! It sounds dramatic but I am serious. All the guests were highly impressed and some said it was the nicest event they'd ever attended. I 10/10 recommend the Fountain Blue, because of the amazing facilities and food, great genuinely kind and helpful staff, accessible location, and overall experience!

Dream Venue

Everything down to the food, Venue, and staff were amazing!!! Had my 15 Anos here back in 2005 so when looking for a wedding venue we thought we would give it a try and we meet John who was such a pleasure to work with he answered all of our questions and went above and beyond to making sure our day went smoothly. Recommended this venue to all Chicago Brides or for any special event you may have.
