Great people to work with and a beautiful ballroom!

Kristin was my contact at this venue and was very responsive throughout our communications! From scheduling a tour of the venue as soon as possible to answering my questions on a daily basis, Kristin has been very proactive and expressed care for my wedding as much as me! In my experience, choosing the right venue was important but choosing the right people to work was very important as well. The TTT ballroom is also gorgeous with a lot of natural light flowing through!

Best Venue Choice!

I cannot put into words how amazing our wedding at the Warwick Allerton Hotel in Chicago was. I wish I could go back and relive this day over and over again. Everything went so smoothly, the staff, (especially Amaralys and Jonathan), were absolutely wonderful to work with and I would recommend them to anyone that asked. Our wedding vision came to life and it was absolutely beautiful. I loved everything about this hotel, and the food was the BEST food. They went out of their way to make us feel so special.

Elegant & Timeless Venue

The Allerton was my dream venue. Being up above Michigan Avenue is magical throughout the day and especially the glow of the night. The chandeliers and arched windows made for an elegant and timeless reception/ceremony space. One thing we were apprehensive about was the food but wow were we blown away. Wedding food is not usually something guests talk about after the wedding but every guest has commented on how amazing the food was, especially the crusted beef tenderloin and the potato dauphinoise is a must. Guests raved about the food and we agreed. The manager, Michael, made sure our day was a success. We were extremely disappointed when the venue coordinator quit, but thankfully we had hired an outside coordinator. The venue coordinator quitting was the biggest downfall, but I was impressed by the Allerton’s promptness and flexibility throughout the rest of the planning process. The Allerton accommodated our requests and worked as a team with us. Jonathan was another huge component to our successful wedding day. He was there all wedding morning checking in with us and getting us anything we needed. He was a calming and joyful presence who I trusted with our wedding day. We can’t wait to go back next year for our complimentary anniversary stay!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
