Carolyn C. Married on 03/04/2021Elegant and Sophisticated Ballroom
On first glance, the timeless elegant ballroom took our breath away. We were looking for a venue that was intimate, warm and inviting. The Crystal Ballroom delivered on all fronts. We had both our wedding ceremony and reception at the Ballroom.
Meredith and all of the staff members were wonderful; no small detail was over-looked. Planning and communication leading up to our day was timely and efficient. The Ballroom is perfectly situated in downtown Evanston; close to bars, restaurants, shops, etc.. Our guests had to simply walk across the street to the hotel at the end of the evening.
Day-of, we utilized the two bridal suites to take our time getting ready on-site. It was so great to have hair and make-up come to us. Stress free prep! Meredith had our fridge stocked with our favorite drinks and plenty of goodies. The ballroom itself is spectacular, we did not feel the need to decorate much beyond flowers. Cocktail hour took place in the stylish lobby & foyer., with two bars.
Returning to the Ballroom for dinner and our reception---it was breathtaking! And, the food! So so good. Above and beyond the standard wedding fare. Our guests all really enjoyed their meals. Overall, we received so many compliments on everything :)
We truly cannot say enough good things about the Crystal Ballroom and our wedding. We would 100% recommend!The Crystal Ballroom & Lounge's reply:
Your group was incredible and so much fun!! I truly enjoyed working with you and Ryan and look forward to seeing you guys around Wrigley this summer. Thanks so much for this review. I'm grateful for the trust you bestowed in me to help plan your special day!! Cheers to you both!
Deals
Complimentary LCD projectors on both side of the room for your Video Montage. They come down from the ceiling, so no floor space is used. That's an $800 savings.
Come in a see our Ballroom!
