We planned our wedding from Phoenix, AZ and relied heavily on recommendations from friends and family in the Chicago area. We booked Mirage Banquets based on internet reviews, a friend of the family who had her wedding reception there, and speaking to Beata and Violeta at Mirage. It was the best decision we made. First we worked with Beata and then Violeta but both were wonderful. They helped us through every step of the process knowing we were planning from out of state. I emailed them several times a week with questions and they always responded that day or the next. All of our out of town guests stayed at the Four Points Hotel and it worked out perfectly. The majority of our guests spent the night at the hotel after the wedding for a great rate! The actual reception was beautiful beyond words. Violeta did an amazing job with the decorations, lighting, and coordination. The food was delicious and people are still raving about it. The servers, bartenders, and managers were very helpful and friendly. The night was perfect and I couldn't have asked for more. I would recommend this to any bride who is looking for a beautiful venue to host her wedding!!

Mirage Banquets gave us our dream wedding reception! The food was fresh, warm, and delicious. Our waiters and waitresses were friendly and very helpful. The bartender was out of this world.....very friendly man who knew how to make a drink. The people at Mirage were very helpful and flexible to our needs. My wife and I have nothing but praise to offer this banquet hall. We would love to hold another celebration there if the time ever came. What made our experience even better was the banquet hall catering manager Violeta Bednarek. Ms. Bednarek was absolutely wonderful. She was quick to answer any phone calls or emails. She always had an answer to every question and satisfied every one of our requests. More importantly, Ms. Bednarek was very supportive and helped calm our nerves and fears. Not only is she pleasant and personable, she is very organized and knows the business. We firmly believe that Ms. Bednarek was one of the biggest reasons our wedding reception was so successful. We highly recommend Mirage to anyone thinking of throwing a reception of any sort. You won't be disappointed!

AMAZING, amazing, amazing!!!! Beata and Violet are Rockstars. They made my wedding day perfect!!!! Not only were they professional and organized but they were so understanding of my every want and need. They helped me plan my dream wedding from top to bottom. Not only was my wedding perfect but they planned my amazing display shower (see pics on their facebook). I cannot say enough....they are FANTASTIC!!!!

The chef was also great to work with, really understanding and extremely creative.

I loved the whole Mirage and Four Points Sheraton Team....

Quick note for Brides to Be...getting married at a hotel is AMAZING....not only for out of town guests, but even for just friends and family that want to enjoy themselves till the wee hours of the morning.

Also, ask about after wedding brunches or breakfeasts...we did this and it was a great way to see all our guest again the morning after :)

Everything we asked for, the Mirage gave us. The food was excellent and accommodations was great. I would definitely recommend The Mirage to anyone looking for a great venue to cap off one of the most important days of their lives.

Mirage was the perfect place for our wedding! I will tell you with out Beata, it would not have been the same! She is amazing at what she does. She knows what she is talking about and I didn't make many decisions i was a very non-nonchalant bride. Beata and her team more than impressed me with the way everything was set up the amazing organization and so happy to do it. How she went out of her way to make sure all of our out of town guests were able to get affordable hotel rooms. The wait staff was very professional and it was so helpful to have polish speaking staff for half of our family. I loved the Mirage and I would not do it any different! I also want to say that the manager Johnny was awesome too! Thank you so much to the entire team at the Mirage for the most spectacular wedding ever!

I would definately recommend Mirage Banquets for your next venue !!! Their rates were definately the cheapest that I have found and I searched quite a few different places. All my guests enjoyed the food, and the service.

**Service provided was reception only.**

This is a funny review to write because at first I was 100% against using Four Points (particularly The Mirage) as my reception site. For starters this was my mom's choice and of course the day we went was not one of my better days. =0)

Since my parents were footing the bill for the reception, I "okayed" the Sheraton as the place where the party was going to take place. And boy was I ever glad.

We worked with Kasia at first and she was amazing. Closer to the day of we worked with Beata and she was equally amazing. I got the impression that they were pretty much a "whatever makes the bride happy makes us happy" vendor. Being the bride-to-be, that was all that mattered to me.

I cannot tell you how many times I "bugged" Kasia and Beata with silly questions. They were just sweethearts. Everyone commented on how great the service was. The food was yummy...but most importantly they made me feel like the only bride they were planning with. I could look at the hall whenever I liked...even if there was a wedding, they always welcomed me and took the time to answer questions.

The night of the wedding, they made a point to come to my husband and I and ask how everything was going. Best part...after my honeymoon, I came back to a thank you letter from them!

I cannot say enough nice things about the banquet part of the hotel! Even though I wasn't the best bride the day we booked with them...I am so happy we did!

Fantastic! We could not be happier with The Mirage at the Four Points Sheraton. The staff was very friendly, professional, and just fun to work with in planning our reception. You will not find a better venue for the price, and you will not have to sacrifice quality in the process. We had countless guests tell us that this was the best wedding reception food they'd ever had. The food was not only delicious, but plentiful. The ballroom is lovely and they do a great job with the table decorations, cake table, guest card table, etc. Throughout the year of our engagement, anytime I had a question I would get a response by phone or email within hours if not minutes. We worked primarily with Kasia and some with Beata. They are sweet people and just really make you feel special. We had a big wedding with a ton of guests in from out of town so it was nice to know they could just wander upstairs at the end of their night to their hotel room. The rooms are nice, newly renovated, and a great price. Thank you Kasia and the Mirage for all you did to make our day so memorable.

You get alot for your money here. Very affordable. The room was beautiful and the food was very good. The have packages for every budget. It was conveniently located for our out of town guests flying in.

We did have some problems with the room blocks and the the discounted rate, but it was resolved once I brought it to Kasia's attention.

I couldn't have asked for anything more from this restaurant. Everything was perfect, the food was delicious, the service was extrordinary, and we got a free night at the hotel. They include so much in their packages!

We would give this a complete 5.0 except for the fact that they messed up the seating which delayed the cermony and they forgot to put the flowers on the cake which they didn't fix until I pointed it out. Other than that every thing was wonderful!!!!!!!!!!

This was the least expensive place we looked at that offered the most for the money and they included a free room for the night of the wedding

They were so great at accomodating everything we asked for Kasha is wonderful to work with.

The manager Alex worked with us and Bee-etta did wonders with our budget. A overnight stay at the Four Points Sheraton Hotel and a full breakfast without a price limit for two is included with your package.
