  The Drake made a fairy tale wedding for my daughter!

  My daughters wedding in the Gold Coast room at the Drake was the most elegant, beautiful affair I have ever witnessed. Shaun Rajah at the Drake was unbelievable, his professionalism and class showed in every are of the wedding. The entire weekend was a dream come true. Elegant, classy, beautiful the highest quality of service made this event the most wonderful wedding ever! I can not recommend Shaun or the Drake enough! Actually all of the staff from the check in staff, to the bell man, the bar staff, the dining staff and everyone in-between were warm, welcoming and wonderful! The Drake is the place to have your once in a lifetime affair!

  Shaun Rajah was the best coordinator!!

  The Drake itself is an iconic building & we got married in the Gold Coast room, which wowed all our guests. But what made getting married in the Drake so great, was working with Shaun Rajah.
  
  We had a 300 person multiple-day Indian wedding, and Shaun helped execute with perfection. We had 4 parents who were hyper involved and always asking many questions, and Shaun fielded their questions/comments/concerns easily. While sometimes messages got lost through our deluge of emails, Shaun always made time to meet in person and was always impeccable with execution. He whipped his team into shaped and spent countless hours making our wedding perfect. From our guests’ perspective, they thought the wedding was perfect logistically & and all of the Drake’s staff treated our guests with such hospitality.
  
  Truly, getting married at the Drake was a dream – would highly recommend to anyone looking for a classic wedding & working with the best coordinator!

  The Perfect Chicago Wedding

  We celebrated our wedding at The Drake on 6.1.19. From cocktail hour in the Palm Court (one of the most beautiful rooms in Chicago) to the champagne parade to the beautiful Gold Coast Room - everything about our wedding at The Drake was exquisite. Every time that we went to The Drake for planning, we received the best service and felt like family. We worked with Shaun Rajah who is absolutely incredible, knowledgeable, and a joy to work with. The Gold Coast room has great natural light, is beautiful and warm as the night goes on, and is a wonderful piece of Chicago history. The Drake was the perfect venue for us!
