Incredible Experience!
We worked with Gina and Julia from The Metropolitan, and everything went unbelievably smoothly. The venue was all-inclusive, which took a lot off of our plate, and literally nothing went wrong day-of, which we couldn't believe was possible.
In terms of the wedding itself, the venue was perfect. The view from the Sears Tower was gorgeous, and we were able to take wedding photos on the sky deck. The food, both appetizers and entrees, was the best we've ever had at a wedding. Couldn't be happier with our decision!

Phenomenal experience
Our wedding at The Metropolitan was incredible. Choosing the Metropolitan was one of the best decisions we made. The staff was absolutely amazing, most notably Gina Trombetti who worked with us for over a year as we planned the wedding of our dreams. Gina was an incredible communicator and efficiently and effectively got things done. She was so easy to work with and made our vision a possibility. The venue was stunning and our guests are still raving about The Metropolitan. The food was extremely high quality and the service was spectacular. There was absolutely no detail that was overlooked. HUGE thank you to Gina and the Metropolitan!!!

Incredible Views and Experience!
There are no words for how incredible our experience was with the Metropolitan. Despite the uncertainty of COVID and the postponement of our original date, Sally was there as a calming, reassuring, and knowledgeable guide. Everything went off flawlessly with coordinating our vendors. The view was breathtaking and the food/drinks were fabulous. Choosing the Metropolitan as our venue was hands-down the best decision we made. We are so grateful to everyone there who made our special day possible!

Amazing venue with incredible views
Lorena and her team at the Metropolitan took care of us and gave us the most fun, beautiful and memorable evening! We had great food, great service and danced the night away. Highly recommend having your reception or rehearsal dinner here!

Totally worth it!
My husband and I were so lucky to be able to have our wedding reception here. From the food to the view to the day-of coordination (shout out to Lorena!!), everything was picture perfect. We would recommend The Metropolitan whole-heartedly and without reservation. Thank you so much!

Best. Wedding. Ever.
Best. Wedding. Ever. The Metropolitan is an iconic venue, offering stunning views from the 66th floor. Lorena and her team did an amazing job making our wedding perfect. We appreciated Lorena’s patience with our questions, as well as her transparency with costs as we felt like other venues were not as collaborative. The whole team was very friendly and responsive, and made every step of the wedding process enjoyable and exciting (ie; wedding tasting). If there was something we wanted at the reception, Lorena made sure we got it! We received so many compliments from our guests regarding the food and how the room itself looked beautiful and classy, in line with our black tie encouraged event. The staff on the day of was very professional, yet fun, and made our guests’ experience one to remember. What better place to get married than one of the most memorable landmarks in Chicago?
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
