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!!!

The day of our dreams!
We just had our wedding on 5/21/22 at the Metropolis and it was the BEST day. We had a very long engagement due to Covid, but Jill was so helpful from day 1 of working with her. She was quick to answer my (seemingly never-ending list of) questions, she was on top of every little detail I threw her way, and she was so kind and pleasant to work with the entire time!
As for the wedding itself, the day was quite literally perfect. We had both our ceremony and reception in the ballroom, and it was just so lovely. Everything ran smooth as could be. We got SO many compliments on the food - like so, so many. I’m biased, but it was some of the best wedding food I’ve ever had. The space is beautiful, it’s in such a convenient location, and our day went exactly as we pictured it and planned for. Kate, our event captain for the evening was incredible; she was so quick to any of my night-of requests and she really helped make the reception run without a single hitch.
My husband and I absolutely loved our experience with the Metropolis Ballroom, and we would 100% recommend it to anybody searching for an event venue in the northwest Chicago suburbs.

Consistent and Accommodating: Beautiful Venue
We just celebrated our Wedding on 3/25/22- which was previously postponed from our NYE 2021 date due to Covid. Jill and Tom were AMAZING to work with and I can't say enough about them. Jill was so consistent and accommodating to anything that we needed and was always willing to go above and beyond to make our special day a dream come true! The venue itself is beautiful with the lofted ceilings and floor to ceiling windows that overlooked the veranda. The wait staff was also top notch and Kate (catering manager I believe) could not have been more attentive the night of! Over all, if you are looking for a beautiful venue to hold your next event, you should definitely consider The Metropolis and ask for Jill! Thank you again :)

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!

We had a wonderful celebration at the Metropolis Ballroom. EVERYONE on staff was helpful, attentive, and courteous. Shawna coordinated everything perfectly, and carefully attended to every detail. She kept us organized and she maintained constant and timely communication throughout our wedding planning experience. The bridal suite, cocktail space, and ceremony/reception room were gorgeous, clean, and inviting. We highly recommend this venue!

My husband & I keep talking about how much we loved having our wedding here. We have no regrets at all! Shawna was on top of her game! She coordinated everything so perfectly and our ceremony & reception went very smoothly. When you walk in, you know that Shawna is a busy person helping others plan their event but when it's your turn to meet, she will give you her undivided attention for planning yours. Shawna was very flexible and willing to work with our budget and every time we met, she always gave us checklists and tasks to have done by the next meeting (definitely kept us on top of things!).
Aside from the amazing planning, the food was great! Ive heard from a lot of our guests how good the food was, the coffee, and the exceptional service! The veranda was a perfect cherry on top to the wedding! It was a nice spot to socialize/catch up and for those who needed some air after dancing! You also get the venue to yourself that day FYI!
I highly highly recommend this venue for anyone looking for a venue! They can host many events and offer different sized rooms depending on the size of your party!

Shawna and the entire staff at Metropolis are an outstanding team to plan a wedding with! They made the entire process easy, fun, and stress free. Shawna kept me up to speed on details, meetings, and deadlines. She had an amazing ability to work with my large family that all wanted a say in wedding planning and allow us to still have fun in the process! The day of, Shawna and her staff set up the ballroom to look like it was straight out of a bridal magazine. My jaw literally dropped when I first waked in the room! I wouldn’t trust anyone more with all the details of my big day, Shawna is a blessing and her team creates memories to last a lifetime at Metropolis!

My husband I were married at the Metropolis on 6/17/16. We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Shawna and her team from start to finish. Shawna was such a helpful resource during the entire process and was extremely accommodating to my schedule since I live out of town.
The venue itself was exactly what we were looking for - a modern, airy feel but still unique with character. Shawna and her team did an amazing job in creatively setting up all of the extra details that made our wedding feel personalized.
I received tons of compliments during and after the wedding on the food and drinks. Everyone raved about the cocktail hour apps and entrees. Make sure to go hungry to the tasting.. it will not disappoint :)
Lastly, all of my vendors also complimented Shawna and her team for their organization and communication in the days leading up to the wedding and during the actual event.
I highly recommend the Metropolis!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
