10/5/24 Fall Wedding
We are so happy that we chose to have our wedding at the Metropolis Ballroom!! We booked this venue very early in the wedding planning process because we absolutely fell in love with the space, and how it's multi-functional which was a huge selling point for us. We loved the layout of the venue from the wood beams, the string lights, floor to ceiling windows, and having a patio overlooking downtown Arlington Heights was such a plus. Rachel was so helpful from the beginning. She really made us feel like we were a part of the planning process and went above and beyong to answer all of our questions, even making changes the week of the wedding. She truly is amazing at what she does and if you have a chance to work with her she will go the extra mile for you! She was so kind, professional, efficient and communicated very well with us and our family. The food was excellent!! We had many guests say how great the food was! It was so nice to have many options and the tasting was such a good experience. Their customer service is top notch!! Their staff really did an amazing job throughout the day and making us feel our best on our wedding day. The bridal suite was so beautiful, I'm grateful that we had that space during the day/night. We are so glad that we chose Metropolis Ballroom as our wedding venue as it will always hold a special place in our hearts. Thank you so much to all the staff and Rachel for being the best coordinator!!!

Perfect venue, excellent staff and service, made our day a dream!
We got married at Metropolis on 10/19/2019 and it was the most perfect wedding day we could have ever dreamed of. I can’t say enough great things about the venue and staff – especially Shawna, the wedding director. She led us through the entire process and was honest, friendly, and calm, which is so appreciated especially during the last few stressful months of planning. Shawna and the staff went above and beyond in making sure every detail of our big day was taken care of, so that on the day of, all we had to do was show up! It was completely stress-free and allowed us to truly enjoy the day. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous and EXACTLY what I envisioned for our October wedding. The ballroom is elegant, romantic, and timeless and everyone kept talking about what a beautiful wedding it was. It was well worth the investment. Thank you so much to everyone at Metropolis for making our wedding a day that we will never forget!

I had the best time with the staff and the venue at the Metropolis. First of all, you have your floor length windows, modern lighting, classic wood ballroom floors, and even a beautiful grand piano. In addition, the bridal party has its own stocked-up room called the harmony suite, which is an incredibly magical room where you would want to take some of your family portraits. The staff was wonderful. My coordinator and I actually became pretty good friends, although business was still very professional. My coordinator made the time to call me during her personal hours to make sure things were all ok and even ordered extra linens when she thought I might like them, just so that I could "check them out." My husband likes the modern look, and I like the traditional. Metropolis satiated both of our tastes. One other thing that I really liked about this venue was that we were able to rent out the entire place to ourselves, and it also had designated parking spaces in the parking garage next door. We were able to fit about 350 guests (by also using some of the extra rooms for guests who just "showed up").
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
