Amazing experience - rehearsal, ceremony, and reception

We booked with Beth then had Arin take care of us. Nothing but amazing things to say. All I heard all night was how delicious the food was. We had a little over 200 people and the room was huge. We had rehearsal dinner here, our ceremony, and reception. Everything was perfect. All the staff is amazing, the food is delicious, the venue is beautiful, and attached to a hotel. What more can you ask for?

Fantastic - Arin was a SAINT!

ARIN!! I cannot begin to describe how much we appreciate Arin and her team for the most INCREDIBLE day!! We are still blown away by everything Arin has done for us. I cannot say this enough - if you are in need of a reception, BOOK HARRY CARAY'S! Our reception was absolutely flawless, and we owe it all to Arin! She genuinely cares about you and your wedding, has great energy and such a positive attitude, and her organization and attention to detail BLEW US AWAY! I've never met someone with such talent! She is perfect for the job and will make your planning process seamless! Arin, we LOVE YOU!!!! Thank you Harry Caray's!!!

Everything we dreamed of

The food was out of this world, with generous portions. Not "wedding food". The room was beautiful and spacious, very easy to customize and fit all of our details. The staff was awesome, so professional and attentive.

We had an incredible experience at Harry Caray’s! Henry was amazing to work with. He checked in with us often throughout the entire process and was always quick to respond to even the simplest question. At our reception, we had countless compliments about the venue and food. We cannot recommend Harry Caray’s enough!

There are not enough words to describe how happy we are with Harry Caray's for our wedding reception. Beth was exceptional and went above and beyond all of our expectations. She made sure the night ran smoothly and even set aside a plate of appetizers for us that we were able to enjoy. She was attentive throughout the whole process and responded to all emails instantly. She made us feel comfortable and worked with us every step of the way. The ballroom was amazing and the atmosphere was perfect for our simple, classy, elegant theme. The terrace was perfect for pictures. We received nothing but compliments for the beautiful venue. We could not ask for more.

We had our wedding at Harry Caray's in Lombard and it was the most amazing venue! From day 1, my husband and I felt comfortable and excited about our decision. Beth, the on-site coordinator was such a pleasure to work with. She responded very quickly to emails, questions, requests and on the day of, was my savior. The food was beyond delicious; we received so many compliments that the pork chop was cooked to perfection and that the braised beef was melt in your mouth. The venue itself is so beautiful, you get the ballroom feel with steakhouse quality food and staff. We thought it was very reasonably priced, especially considering the superb quality. My husband and I had the best day of our lives and are so very thankful to all the staff at Harry Caray's.

We could not be more happy with our experience of having our wedding at Harry Caray’s in Lombard! One of the biggest reasons we chose to have our wedding at Harry Caray’s was how amazingly helpful and accommodating Beth was when we initially went to check out the venue. During our planning process, we worked with Beth and Alyssa, who both were so incredible with communication and getting back to our emails and phone calls so quickly. Any idea or recommendation we asked for, they found a way to make it work for us!

Leading up to our wedding day, we worked with Alyssa who helped us with multiple meetings including our food tasting and linen choices. She let us drop off our decorations a week early and went through all the final details of our day. Alyssa even contacted all of our vendors the week before our wedding to coordinate everything with them. She attended our rehearsal to make sure everything went smoothly on our day, and she helped us set up a “happy hour” after our rehearsal at the Harry Caray’s Bar. I felt so calm and relaxed knowing that I could count on Alyssa to take care of everything for us. On the day of our wedding, she had all of our decorations set up beautifully. She checked in with us throughout the night to make sure we had everything we needed. She even left a plate of all of our appetizers at our wedding table because she knew we would be too busy to have them during our cocktail hour. After the wedding, she collected all of our decorations and kept them for me until I could pick them up later in the week. She even kept the top tier of our cake to give to us!

I also loved the set up of the Harry Caray’s Ballroom including the large room, high ceilings with floor to ceiling windows, and walkout terrace with a fire pit that we used for our cocktail hour. The chairs and decor of the room was tasteful and classy, and we loved the black and white old Wrigley Field photos on the walls. It was very convenient having the Westin Hotel attached.
