    A Dream Wedding Experience at Lido Banquets & Events

    Writing this review fills me with joy and gratitude as I reminisce about our wedding day at Lido Banquets & Events. It was nothing short of a fairytale, a seamless blend of elegance, impeccable service, and culinary excellence. From the moment we first stepped into the venue, we knew it was the perfect place for our special day. The Lido team, led by the remarkable Andre, exceeded all our expectations. Their professionalism and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of our wedding planning and execution. They handled everything with such finesse. The culinary experience at Lido was a highlight. Their in-house team crafted a menu that was both innovative and delicious. Each dish, from the Alfredo pasta to the tender chicken breast, was a gastronomic delight. The roast beef and heavenly mashed potatoes were particularly memorable, and the staff's willingness to accommodate second servings was a testament to their exceptional service. Lido’s custom lighting options added a magical touch, perfectly aligning with our wedding theme and creating a mesmerizing ambiance. The servers were the epitome of professionalism - attentive, efficient, and genuinely caring. Our guests were equally impressed, continuously praising the quality of service. Lido’s expertise in wedding planning shone through in every detail. They made sure that every aspect, from the seating arrangement to the music, was tailored to our preferences. Their warmth and dedication made us feel like the most important people in the world. For smaller weddings like ours, Lido provided an intimate and upscale setting. We had the opportunity to truly connect with our guests, creating lasting memories. The coordinator ensured everything ran smoothly, proving that perfection on your wedding day is possible.

    Dream come true!

    As a newlywed, I can confidently say that our wedding at Lido Banquets & Events was an absolute dream come true. The setting was incredibly gorgeous, with tasteful furnishings and an amazing perspective of the skyline. We knew the setting was ideal for our big day the moment we walked into the room. The team at Lido Banquets & Events was incredibly helpful and accommodating throughout the planning process. They worked really hard to make sure that everything was handled, from the seating arrangement to the music choice, and they paid special attention to our requests. Their expertise in wedding planning really showed, and we were able to relax and enjoy the festivities without any worries or stress. Of course, no wedding is complete without delicious food, and Lido Banquets & Events did not disappoint in this regard. The menu was carefully crafted with a wide range of options to please all palates, and every dish was beautifully presented. But what truly caught our attention was the staff's first-rate service. They were warm, welcoming, and attentive to every need. From making sure that the bride and groom were taken care of to ensuring that our guests were comfortable and happy, the staff at Lido Banquets & Events truly went above and beyond.

    Perfect as planned

    When searching for the perfect venue, several factors were crucial to us: atmosphere, location, affordability, and ease of planning. We wanted our wedding to be upscale and beautiful, and Lido's exceeded our expectations on all fronts. As a small wedding of 50 guests, Lido's provided support throughout the entire process - from the venue tour, walk-through of inclusions, to tasty tasting. On our wedding day, the coordinator went above and beyond to ensure a seamless and flawless event. Despite the common belief that things won't go perfectly on your wedding day, Lido's proved otherwise. Our small guest list allowed us to spend quality time with each other and our guests danced all night. The space was perfect and our only regret is that we only get to get married once. Thank you, Lido Banquets & Events!

    I recommend!

    I recently attended a wedding at Lido Banquets & Events and was thoroughly impressed with the experience. The venue itself was beautiful and had a lovely ambiance that really added to the celebratory mood of the occasion. What's more, the price for the venue rental was quite reasonable considering the high quality of the facilities. The food was absolutely delicious, with a wide variety of options to suit all tastes. I particularly enjoyed the appetizers and main course, which were both beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The staff was also very attentive, making sure that everyone was well taken care of and had everything they needed throughout the event. Perhaps the standout aspect of the wedding, however, was the exceptional service provided by the friendly and helpful staff. They went above and beyond to ensure that everything ran smoothly and that all of the guests were comfortable and happy. Their attention to detail and customer-focused approach really made a difference and helped to create a truly memorable experience. Overall, I would highly recommend Lido Banquets & Events as a wedding venue. With great facilities, tasty food, and exceptional service, it's a wonderful choice for couples looking to make their special day even more unforgettable.

    Best banquet hall for our wedding reception!

    Our wedding was on June 26, 2021 and it was the best day of our life and we had a blast! Lido Banquets & Events was clean, organized, food was great and everything well served. Andre was professional and I was 100% comfortable with our communication after my husband and I postponed our original wedding date due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I have had dozens of family members call and compliment on how beautiful the hall was and how great the food and service was.
    Every table was serviced by a very nice and attentive stuff, my guests felt good and well taken care of and of that i must thank
    I would highly recommend this venue for your event!

    Lido Banquets & Events's reply:

    It was a pleasure hosting you and your guests. We're glad the night was a success for you.

    Best,
    Andre

    We looked at almost 20 vendors for our April wedding, and we got lucky with Lido Banquets. They had the best price for the best type of meal, and they accommodated so many things for us. First of all, they are located in Jefferson Park, right on Milwaukee, and we couldn't have picked a better location for us and our guests. The great thing about it was that there is only one banquet room. I was worried about sharing banquets with other wedding parties, and this is pretty much what sold me. The second HUGE thing about this banquet was the price. We looked at the menu options, and the Manager, Joanna, said we could either do Individual Plates, or Family Style, which is the same price......WAIT WHAAAAT? that was definitely the best menu pricing in the whole Chicago-Northwest Suburban area.

    Other great things about Lido, were that they had a bridal suite/coat check (whichever one you wanted to use it as), a nice looking bar, a huge dance floor, and updated/easy-to-access bathrooms for our older guests. The tasting process was a bit unique, since they are only able to give you tastings when they have parties, but it makes sense, since they don't have a restaurant part, and they are mainly a banquet for special occasions.

    We booked this banquet about a year before our wedding, and I am so glad we did, because it was definitely worth it! They gave you options of chair covers, colored napkins, uplighting, and they even have centerpieces that you can use! They made everything easy

    We absolutely loved this banquet. We had our wedding reception here on Feb 6th 2016 and our guests were raving about how good the food was. They thought that Joanna our banquet manager did a great job. The hall was beautifully decorated, we had family style food, and open bar. The cake was included in the price. They had the best pricing and they were close to the church we got married at. This banquet hall only has one reception room for the whole place which is awesome because we didn't have to worry about another party being too loud or people getting confused between rooms.

    Peter made sure the service for our wedding and reception was absolutely fabulous. I really appreciated all of the detailed attention that the staff provided to the wedding party as well as our guests. There was a winter storm the day of our wedding and the staff made our guests feel safe and provided us with impeccable service. I would definitely recommend Lido's Banquets to our friends.

    One of the greatest venues I have visited so far. Service was exceptional and honestly the best one can wish for a wedding day. Honestly I was just a guest but my wedding day is coming soon and I'm glad I already know where I'll be accommodating my friends and family. Hopefully the guyz will earn one more positive review ;)

    I had my wedding reception at the Lido this past August and my husband and I are extremely happy that we choose this banquet facility. We were treated from the very start with understanding of how exactly we wanted our wedding to look. The owner was able to provide us with suggestions and assist us in any questions we may of had. We were looking to have an elegant but yet not an over expensive wedding and that is EXACTLY what we had. The food was AMAZING and the service was very attentive. The room was decorated beautifully for our event and all of our guests were complimenting us on our choice. I was able to communicate with the owner prior to the wedding and then his wife during our wedding reception, we never felt unattended!!!! I would definately choose Lido banquets again, and again!!!

    We were an out of town couple so all of our decisions were based on email/phone calls (and 1 visit by my now husband). I had done my research and found 2 venues that I thought would be perfect for us, my husband was in Chicago for business and I told him go see each place and let me know which one you like better. He came back and said that without a doubt Lido was the place for us! We were on a budget as we were paying for everything ourselves and it was important that we included an open bar in our package. Lido does a great job of working with you and they don't try to nickel and dime you! The prices are great and the service is even better, we loved the family style meal - it helped cut down on our cost and it was great for our guests, they even gave the tables seconds if they wanted it! What other venue does that!!!! They worked with our DJ and my mom who came in a bit early to set up our decorations. Everyone there was so nice and really worked to make our wedding reception special. My guests all raved about the bartenders and their amazing service!!! I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a great place to host a reception!!!

    I had the pleasant expierence of having my wedding reception at the Lido and i have to say that all of my expectations were completely met. I was reasured by the mgr./owner that I would not be disappointed w/the food and the way the banquet room was set up for my special day. The food was very tastey and the waiters and waiteress were friendly and accomodating to me and my husband. I would refer the Lido to anyone at anytime for any occasion.

    Our wedding party was small and Lido banquets was very close to us so we decided to have our wedding there. Everything was great. We expected a little bit more from the venue concerning the service and the choice of food, but overall everything was fine.
