Doubletree shines! Amazing views!

Maureen and Gorashi from the Doubletree were so easy and awesome to work with during our daughter's wedding wedding. Maureen had the patience of a saint with my hundreds of questions, and Gorashi was completely on top of everything during the wedding events. The views from the Monaco ballroom were stunning, and our guests loved everything! Highly recommended

I could not have been happier with the entire process, from initial inquiries to the big day, and have nothing but rave reviews to give for the DoubleTree Hilton North Shore. From the beginning, those at the venue were highly responsive. We were able to quickly set up a meeting to see the venue, and were so happy with the flexibility that could be offered in the packages and in the accommodations (i.e. using the downstairs space for cocktail hour vs. the lobby of the 15th floor). We signed the dotted line after looking at only one place, and most of this was due to feeling so comfortable with Molly. She is professional, yet approachable, and provides her opinions without imposing. I personally valued her opinions and have to say that the day would not have gone so smoothly without her input and assistance. Her prompt responsiveness to inquiries, her willingness to make minor changes leading up to the event, and detailed note taking were very appreciated by this Type A bride! She did her best to go above and beyond, getting us extra "get ready" rooms and letting us store items in advance to make the day of the wedding that much smoother. The day went off without a hitch, and I have received so many compliments on the food, the venue, and the hotel. If I had to do it again, I would not have changed a thing, and would absolutely recommend Molly and the DoubleTree to any bride!

My wedding was in October 2014 and we our reception at Doubletree by Hilton North Shore in Skokie , Illinois. During our search for a reception venue, I was quickly a fan of the Monaco Ballroom. The space has floor to ceiling windows that really add a "wow" factor. We were won over! We worked closely with our catering sales manager, Molly Larmon, throughout the process. Molly was a joy to work with and such a resource for us!

Everything from the start to finish was excellent - the service, the food, and the accommodations! Molly is very responsive - I had so many questions and ideas that she was able to help with. Molly is very detail oriented and she did a great job listening and executing everything we had envisioned. She made the process and the day of significantly less nerve-racking.

A big thank you to Molly and the DoubleTree staff!

We are so pleased with the way our daughter's wedding turned out - Molly Larmon, our Doubletree contact, made it all happen - she spent the time perfecting the menus for the stations, she promptly responded to all questions and met all of our needs, she made all the arrangements for our guests' hotel reservations, for our shuttle transportation, for all rooms needed the day of, for the tasting, etc. And if I forgot to ask or plan something, she asked me and was immediately on it. She is truly a professional, with a great product to sell! Thanks so much!

My husband and I were extremely pleased with the elegance offered at the DoubleTree by Hilton Chicago North Shore location. We were looking for a unique, classy, and modern location to hold our reception of 250 and could not have been happier! The breathtaking view of the Chicago cityscape, romantically lit by the city lights, and visible from the Monaco ballroom, was a scene our guests were in awe of. The professionalism, efficiency, and attention to detail demonstrated by DoubleTree staff, Molly, Rachel, and Mariano, allowed us to relax and know that our dream reception would be well executed. Upon consultation and recommendation of Molly, we opted for small enhancements that made a large impact on the overall presentation: We chose to upgrade to gold chiavari chairs, navy table linens, and up lighting. We also chose 3 hors d'oeuvres coconut shrimp, beef skewers, and three cheese artichoke bites, as well as late night snacks, which were all absolutely delicious! Our guests are still commenting on the delectable meal: Potato gnocchi, Mediterranean salad, braised short ribs, blue crusted tilapia, and Portabello medley. The hotel staff even surprised us with a small congratulatory gift within our hotel room, awaiting us at the end of the night. It truly was the best night of our night and we could not have asked for things to go more smoothly. Our guests even commented that our reception was "the classiest...most organized...and most (importantly) fun wedding they have ever attended!" Thanks Molly!

Martha Schwartz is who handles the sales and the go to person if you want your venue there. I have to say she is absolutely fantastic and unlike other people she will work with you it's not all cut and dry. We didn't end up using this venue the only reason is because we wanted an out door option also. I can't say enough good things she really made the experience enjoyable! Absolutely beautiful view!!

The first time we saw the Monaco Ballroom, we knew this is where we wanted to get married. The view of Chicago’s skyline is impressive. From our initial contact with Martha, then Molly and finally with Meagan, our wedding coordinator, we knew we were in good hands. Meagan is extremely professional and was very helpful prior to the event date and on the day of the wedding. Our guests still talk about the delicious food and amazing service by all the DoubleTree hotel employees. Truly a first-rate service! Meagan made the Monaco Ballroom look even more beautiful than I had expected for both our ceremony and reception. She took care of all the details and was there to assist us. The hotel is centrally located near highways and malls. This is the perfect venue to host an event. Thanks Meagan for making our wedding an event no one will forget.

Lovely setting, delicious food (lots of our guests complimented and we're surprised by how delicious the food was.), very accommodating and helpful event planner (Lisa was terrific) and banquet manager team. Lisa followed up with us, handled all of our requests with warmth and professionalism - I don't think she said 'No' to anything! Everything was included in the price (including some free rooms, and rooms for the bridal party to get ready in), as well as open bar, appetizers, cake, dinner with entree choices, linens, etc. The view and sunset are amazing from the top floor of the doubletree Monaco ballroom. We comfortably sat 200 guests, including bridal party tables for 19. (Only Concern was a couple of tables have obstructed view behind wide pillars). Having our daughter's wedding there was a wonderful experience from day one, through the day after cleanup and retrieving our DIY floral items. Warm chocolate chip cookies and apples at every meeting didn't hurt! We came from California and felt especially taken care of by Lisa. She really made planning from a distance easy indeed. All hospitality and banquet staff were gracious and very helpful too. We highly recommend having your wedding here if you want a totally beautiful experience!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I had the pleasure of working with Molly from the Double Tree Hotel for a recent wedding in October 2015. As a planner with Storybook Weddings & Events, we have the opportunity to work at many locations and with many Venue Managers. Molly was by far, one of the more exceptional vendors that we have had the chance to work with. From her detailed floor plans, catering orders and estimated timelines, we were thrilled to have worked along side her during the planning process and on the wedding day. I recommend whole-heartedly, the Double Tree by Hilton for any wedding or event. Not only is the room stunning, but it showcases the gorgeous Chicago skyline!!! Thank you Molly and the entire DoubleTree Team! We look forward to working with you all again!
