Top Notch Venue

I have photographed dozens of weddings in Bloomington IL (Ernst Jacobsen Photography) and the DoubleTree is one of the best options for hosting a gorgeous wedding reception. Staying at the hotel and having your reception there is super convenient PLUS there's the option to have your ceremony there either by design or if there's an issue with the weather = peace of mind! The ballroom is beautiful plus there's a lovely large hall just outside the ballroom which is perfect for the cocktail hour. Top it off with an amazing wedding coordinator and catering service! Highly recommend.

All Inclusive & Affordable Venue

I just want to start by saying Ashley Walter is AMAZING! We are so happy we picked DoubleTree for our wedding reception. My husband and I were planning our wedding from Arizona. We flew back to Illinois to look at a few venues in the Bloomington/Normal area and were immediately impressed with the DoubleTree after meeting with Ashley for the first time. Ashley is AMAZING, super organized, prepared and responsive to all correspondence.
When we met with her she provided us with a folder that included a packet of information including the packages they provide, food and drink options. Right off the bat she crunched numbers for us, so we knew exactly what we would be getting into. After meeting with Ashley we knew it was a no brainer that this was going to be our reception venue. Ashley advised me to give all of my vendors her contact information and she would schedule deliveries the day of the wedding for us, final numbers were requested only 4 days prior to the wedding and I met with her 3 days prior to the wedding to drop off our decorations for the staff to set up for us and everything looked perfect. The food at the reception was AMAZING! We had a plated meal served and I didn’t hear any complaints about cold food or it taking too long for our guests to receive their food. The next day we walked down and all of our decorations were boxed and ready for us to take home with us. Thank you so much Ashley and team for making our wedding reception and stay so memorable!

The DoubleTree is one of my favorite venues in Bloomington! My mom and both of my sisters got married there/had their reception there, so I knew when I got engaged that it was one of my top contenders. Kaitlin Muckey, the coordinator, is absolutely phenomenal! She is so knowledgeable about everything that goes on in that hotel that it is so easy to ask her questions; she always has the answer! Plus she's great to work with! The food there is amazing (I would know, I've had it 4 times!)! I couldn't have chosen a better location for our wedding next fall! I cannot wait for our big day thanks to Kaitlin and the amazing DoubleTree staff!

We were very pleased with the way the DoubleTree staff was flexible to meet our needs. The DoubleTree also does the set up and tear down of everything! We would highly recommend this as a venue for a wedding reception.

The food was delicious, the staff was great, and the wedding coordinator was always willing to help us and answer any questions that came up in a very timely fashion.

The hotel staff set up all of our decorations and they did a wonderful job!

We are our reception at the Doubletree. The place was everything I could ask for. AJ was very helpful through the whole thing. His staff was very nice and made the night go smoothly. My fiance was not very excited about the price of having our reception there, but after the big day, he said he couldn't have imagined it anywhere else. All of our family and friends loved the place. It's def. a little costly, but it came out to be well worth it!

(The Doubletree only did my catering, I did not have my wedding there)

Stephanie, the event coordinator, is amazing. She is genuinely nice and, most importantly, completely on top of everything. I never felt like I was bothering her and we had no miscommunications (quite a feat in wedding planning!). To top it off, even though I had off-site catering, I had a dining manager (Ben - also very nice and responsible) with us the whole night just in case we had any issues - we didn't, of course, but it was a nice touch. The food was great and competitively priced based on the other nice caterers in town (CJ's, Michaels, Central Station etc). They do a free tasting and have many many meal options and choices to suit everyone.

Stephanie did a wonderful job. The food was amazing and it was so beautiful in the banquet room. We couldn't have asked for a better day and night.
