We LOVE 676, inside the Omni Hotel. Ever since my husband I and discovered 676 on a date night a few years ago, it has been a special place for us. Adrian, who was our server the first time we dined at 676, somehow managed to remember us and greet us warmly and treat us like his personal friends every time we’ve visited the restaurant. Over the years, we’ve had special dinners and birthday parties at 676, so they were a naturally perfect choice for our rehearsal celebration.

Sydney helped us create a special heavy appetizer and beverage menu that included many of our favorite restaurant items. She could not have been more patient or flexible in working with us to create the perfect event. The space is gorgeous, the food is exceptional, and having Adrian take care of our party was a special treat. Adrian and his colleagues went out of their way to make us feel special – he even sent my husband home with a doggy bag of his favorite menu item from the evening. We cannot recommend Sydney, Adrian and the 676 team highly enough!

I had a fabulous experience with the Omni for my october wedding ceremony and reception. I worked with both Sarah Johnson and Sydney Peltier. Sydney was very responsive and helpful throughout the whole process and worked with all my vendors individually so I didn't have to worry about it. One of the biggest things that everyone raved about at the wedding was the food, which was fabulous! The food was nothing like banquet food and tasted like you were at an expensive restaurant. The presidential suite was also the perfect place for the bridal party to get ready and had more than enough room and beautiful views. Although there were a few mistakes here and there, I honestly have no complaints. My wedding was magical and the Omni was the perfect venue!

We had our June wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception at the Omni Chicago. We knew from the minute we met Sarah that we wanted to work with her. Sarah made us feel comfortable and was extremely responsive throughout the whole wedding planning process. The day of our wedding was absolutely perfect, thanks to Sarah. The rooms were beautiful and everything went off without a hitch. We could not have asked for a better venue and wedding coordinator. The Omni Chicago is the perfect Chicago venue!

From start to finish my husband and I had a phenomenal experience with the Omni Chicago. The food - staff - facilities - and overall standard of service was phenomenal. Logistically it was so easy to get married at Holy Name Cathedral, have a fantastic view of Michigan Avenue at the 676 restaurant for our cocktail hour, and have our reception and guest rooms in one building. The food that was served at our reception was served hot and tasted phenomenal.The front desk and maintenance staff were very helpful and even put up an extra hook in my closet so we could hang up my wedding dress. The entire event went off without a hitch and far surpassed our expectations - and those were bridal expectations :) Sarah Johnson was our event manager and she made us feel at ease and excited about our wedding from the start. She was extremely professional, flexible, very responsive, easy to work with, and an overall pleasure to be around. I am a very detailed oriented bride and we never worried about a thing. Thank you for such an incredible event!!!

I like to call the Chicago Omni Hotel the hidden gem for wedding receptions. My husband and I were looking for a wedding on Mag Mile that we could afford and Omni delivered. Not only is it located on Mag Mile but I was shocked to see that the entire cocktail hour is located with floor to ceiling windows facing Michigan Ave. The reception rooms also have floor to ceiling windows which is rare for that area of downtown Chicago (Park Hyatt and Drake I "don't believe" have windows...but don't quote me on that). Perfect for a wedding of 100-150 guests. Claudia Avalrez was our catering manager and she is nothing short of amazing. Weddings can be long days and the entire staff were troopers. The food selection, presentation and portion to guests is amazing.

we love you and thank you for all your hard work and dedication.

Sarah Johnson is a dream to work with. The Omni Hotel was extremely flexible, easy to work with, attentive to details and made our whole event the intimate, beautiful day we were hoping for. I would highly recommend this location to anyone looking for a wonderful space that can take care of all of your needs.

Claudia Alvarez at the Omni Chicago Hotel is nothing short of amazing. My husband and I are young (23) and it seemed like every other hotel on Michigan Avenue showed us around with disdain assuming that we couldn't afford it or that we weren't serious. Claudia was never anything but wonderful to us. She showed us the venue several times before we booked it, she was extremely knowledgeable about the hotel and the city (we had only been living there about 6 months at the time), and she got answers to us very quickly. When it came to planning, she had great ideas, knew great vendors, and was always available to help. On the actual wedding day, she took care of everything, kept me calm, and was extremely resourceful and fast-acting. The hotel itself is gorgeous. The food is outstanding (we have not stopped getting compliments). The staff is very helpful and quickly responds to your needs. Everything about the Omni and the week we were there for wedding activities (including the rehearsal, the ceremony, the reception and a morning-after brunch) was perfect.

We had our reception here (our ceremony was held in a church). Sydney Peltier was awesome to work with! As I had to arrange everything while overseas, she was prompt in her responses to my numerous emails and addressed all my queries with much patience. She also showed us around the venue, the bridal suite and sat in with us throughout the food tasting. My husband and I were really pleased with the service provided. Even on the actual day itself, Sydney ensured that we did not have to worry about liaising with our vendors. She liaised directly with them and everything was set up beautifully. The food here is also awesome! We had the filet mignon and grilled salmon. Our guests loved it! We had about 70 people. Our reception was held at the Chagall Ballroom with the cocktail at a smaller ballroom - the Van Gogh Ballroom. We loved how both places were set up and the fact that our guests get a separate ballroom for the cocktail. The service staff were also very professional and attended to the needs of our guests promptly. Most importantly, they were courteous. I would definitely recommend Omni Chicago Hotel as a venue for a bridal reception!

We had our ceremony and reception at the Omni. Our wedding coordinator Jessica was FABULOUS!! She was so accommodating, made sure everything was absolutely perfect, and answered all my questions. The only problem we had was with the Omni reservation center (which they outsource) and a rude reservation specialist. However, once I informed Jessica of this problem she handled it immediately and compensated us accordingly for the hassle. Again, amazing! The best part about having our cocktail hour/reception at the Omni...THE FOOD!!!! I cannot rave enough about how incredible to food was! It was from their main restaurant kitchen and it was so delicious!! We actually had a 32oz. bone-in ribeye as one of our menu options!!! My husband was THRILLED! The Omni and all of their staff is great and I would recommend them to anyone!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
