Hands down the BEST VENUE in the Chicago area!!

Our experience with Chateau Ritz was nothing short of extraordinary. From the owner, Mike, to the venue coordinator, Jessica, to the servers, the entire team was an absolute dream to work with. They went above and beyond to ensure our wedding was a spectacular event, and we felt completely stress-free throughout the entire process. No matter how busy they were, they made us feel like a top priority, always available for any questions we had, no matter how small.

The feedback from our guests was overwhelmingly positive. Many said it was the best wedding they had ever attended, and everything was top-notch, fitting perfectly with the black-tie event we had envisioned. Our guests raved about the butler passed hors d’oeuvres, the open bar, the food, and the deluxe sweet and fruit table. Thanks to Mike, Jessica, and the incredible team at Chateau Ritz, our wedding day was truly unforgettable. I can’t recommend them enough for making our day so memorable and spectacular!

Gorgeous hall and amazing customer service

My wedding WAS fabulous and EXACTLY how I imagined it from the day I booked this venue. Chateau Ritz is only 2mins away from my house but I never stepped in thinking that the hall might be too small to host 500 people wedding since it doesn't look that big from the outside. However, I am so glad that one day I decided to call and speak to them and it turns out that they have a space for about 800 people. I initially worked with Jim and then with Mike since Jim went on vacation. My experience was super pleasant! I called Mike probably million times to confirm every minor thing or request a change and EACH time he was super patient with me and accommodated everything I needed. On the day of the event, he was running around and available to ensure that every detail we requested was fulfilled. The hall is gorgeous itself and doesn't need additional words but customer service is something that was very difficult to find when it comes to venues. I had my food catered outside due to religious reasons but they offer in-house catering too so definitely a plus for many people. I also used an outside decorator for the stage and tables, but their in-house decorator Jessica is also a sweet person to work with. She will try her best to work with your budget and give you the best. I definitely would be recommending Chateau Ritz to ALL the South Asians for their wedding! Thank you sooo much, Mike and Ritz team for such amazing customer service and a memorable event for my husband and me.

100 stars!

I would give Chateau Ritz 100 stars if I could...After switching banquet halls, THE WEEK OF OUR PLANNED WEDDING, Chateau Ritz came in for the rescue! Mike, who helped us with everything, was our lifesaver, savior, angel in disguise. Through every detail, he guided us and helped us throw a wedding that we will never forget. We will never ever forget the care that was put into ensuring that we were happy. Believe me not, he made us even more than happy! On top of the genuine care, Chateau Ritz is the most beautiful banquet hall that you will ever see. EVERYTHING is stunning, from the first entrance in the lobby to the actual hall. The chandeliers are absolutely breathtaking, jaw-dropping, a magical sight to see. Chateau, you will hold a dear place in my heart and I will never stop bragging about how you made my wedding absolutely perfect. You are magnificently beautiful, and the owners behind you are even more beautiful. I will tell all family, friends, random strangers, that if they don't have their wedding/event at Chateau Ritz they are absolutely crazy. This is the BEST banquet in the Chicagoland area, nothing else comes close! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! - Donna & John

Class. Style. Perfection. - They're AMAZING!

My husband and I celebrated our wedding reception at Chateau Ritz on Saturday, 9/28, and everything ran so smoothly and with such grace, you can tell they are pros! Thank you to your team for being so accommodating and allowing us to bring in touches of home that made the day complete. Special thanks to Jim and Mike, who were both such a pleasure to work with and who ensured that all of our hopes for the day were met. Chateau is an unbelievably beautiful venue, but what really made it perfect for us was how personable the whole team was. We were so nervous that we wouldn’t be able to find a place in Chicago that would work for us, but you all more than fulfilled any expectations we could have had. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Excellent Venue!! SO happy with my wedding!!


We are very pleased after having our wedding at the Chateau Ritz in September of this year! Mike and the rest of the crew were very helpful with our wedding planning process. We had to do most of our wedding planning long distance and they were nothing but accommodating. We even had a last minute issue and they were there to take care of it so I wouldn’t have to be stressed out days before my wedding. The food was excellent and the wedding day itself was perfect! The venue is so beautiful! Thank you to all of the staff who helped us make our wedding dreams come true !!

We had our wedding reception at the Chateau Ritz in November of 2017 and couldn't have been happier about our choice!

The very spacious bridal suite included a full bathroom (separate powder room) with enough room for about 3-4 girls to primp PLUS a whole sitting area big enough for at least 5-6 people comfortably. It was the perfect retreat when we needed a breather between the ceremony and the reception and the best part was that the waitstaff brought us up some food from our cocktail hour! We were starving and that hit the spot.

The candlelit room looked gorgeous! They placed the lighting exactly where I asked them to. Listen to them when they tell you what size room to get, they know what they're talking about. I kept thinking my 125 person wedding would take up the entire banquet hall but they insisted that I only rent one side. Of course, they were right. There are many places to take amazing pictures here.

My guests are still talking about how awesome the food was. We served filet, sea bass, and vegetarian lasagna. This is not your average banquet food and the portions were huge! They did this really cute bow tie strawberry display on our sweets table too. The bartenders were super friendly and accommodating. Actually, everyone was. They never missed any of the details we requested.

The price was very fair and the bar package was generous. We are truly thankful we chose the Chateau Ritz.

The best decision I made. My husband and I had our wedding 10/15/16 and from beginning to end they were all helpful and worked with me, no matter how many times I emailed them.

The food was delicious and I hot tons of compliments. You really get a great deal with what it comes with. I had some DIYs and I gave them pics how it should be set up and they did a perfect job. I just can not express how thankful I am that we went w Chateau Ritz.

We had our wedding here a few weeks ago and couldn't have asked for anything better. The staff there kept us informed of things we needed to do and get done or paid for. They were flexible on payments and days/times to come in and taste the food and choose the menu. The day of the wedding they checked on us several times to make sure everyone was having a great time and that we got enough food. The top shelf open bar was a plus and the cake included. For everything we got for the price - I'd recommend this to anyone! Thanks Chateau Ritz!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
