We got married at Aberdeen on 10/24/26. We got engaged and hopped right into planning Sept. 2025. Aberdeen was the 2nd venue we toured and I immediately wanted to stop looking because we both fell in love with it. The entire venue is beautiful. We loved the stained glass windows in the chapel. Lisa gave us our tour and was also our planner/coordinator and she was absolutely amazing. Every meeting, email, question, concern was given so much care and detail I could not have asked for a better person to help us plan our day. The entire staff was friendly and helpful. Wedding day ran so smooth and Lisa made sure our vision came together flawlessly. I am forever greatful for Lisa and Aberdeen for the overall experience we had planning as well as our absolutely perfect wedding day.

We had our wedding (ceremony & reception) in the Burnham Ballroom at the JW Marriott and were beyond impressed with every aspect of our experience. The team was a pleasure to work with and met every request with a smile. Our guests were blown away by the grandeur of the room and how the Marriott team was able to transform the space between the ceremony & reception (special thank you to the Encore team for making the room beautiful with ceiling lighting!). Chrissy was our event manager and was always available to answer any questions we had leading up to the event, and during the festivities as well. Our guests continue to rave about the food, and how quick the waiter service was - they really helped keep the event on track! On top of all of that, the hotel rooms were stunning, and the JW team accommodated our need for a bigger bridal suite. We can’t thank everyone enough for making our day so special.

We had our wedding at Seven Bridges this past September and everything went off without a hitch. Roisin was a godsend during our planning process - she was always quick to answer any questions we had and always helped ease our nerves when going through the checklists. The food was amazing and we continue to receive rave reviews from our 230 guests. The venue was perfect for our rainy day, with the outdoor patio allowing for guests to get fresh air during the evening. I can't thank Roisin and her team enough for setting up the decor - the centerpieces were arranged perfectly. They made sure our day was perfect and I would highly recommend Seven Bridges to anyone!

Two of our daughters weddings in 16 weeks…our most recent event was at the BRIX on Nov 7th! Outstanding  experience with the BRIX! Ample parking, no downtown traffic jams…Rob and Team cover every detail! Open vendor options, I had no issues with any vendors and highly recommend: 11th hour bartending, drapery by SNP and mortar design for China rental. Service was provided by Twin2Me me and catering by Francesca’s in Barrington. A wedding for 220, never felt crowded; we reserved the evening prior, which assisted with DIY decor and rehearsal. A huge plus! The entire team at the BRIX was amazing, professional, pleasant to work with.   So many compliments on the venue!  The ceremony space was converted from ceremony to appetizer hour in minutes. The Photo Booth was tons of fun, guests loved! The sound system amazing and after dinner lighting a lovely touch! A nice inclusion is an ice machine! Rob, my only suggestion would be the purchase of a food warmer in the chef prep kitchen space:) Sincerely, Mother of the Bride

Much like everyone planning a wedding throughout covid, things got turned upside down. My fiancee and I planned to get married on our day even if it was just the two of us and an officiant in our living room. Luckily Chicago moved to Phase 4 and we were able to have a downsized covid safe wedding at the Loews Chicago Terrace. All workers masked at all times. Patrons masked at all points indoors, and once outside and in your own private space, people were able to take them off and there was plenty of room to socially distance. Our photographer recommended the Loews when we were first looking for a venue because in her words "of all the places I've worked, I've seen them pull off the most incredible events". Originally they had an event on our date, but with Covid we figured we'd check to see if they were open and doing smaller events. Less than a month to the date we secured the space and planned everything with them and they did an INCREDIBLE job. I stayed in one of the Lakeview suites to get ready. It was plenty big enough! Great rate as well. We had 40 people on the terrace. They had plenty of space for people to spread out. Several highboy tables, two different couch areas, 3-4 round tables with linens. Plenty of room to stand, mingle and spread out. They also had a tent set up which saved us from a two minute rain storm, but I was more interested in to save from the mid-summer Chicago sun/heat. All servers, managers, bartenders wore masks the whole time. The food was served by servers behind a partition. The restaurant kitchens aren't open yet, but they have partnerships with a few restaurants. We used Luella's Southern Kitchen and we had so many people tell us it was the best wedding food they'd ever had. Melissa with the Loews and Darnell from Luella's knocked it out of the park! Again, can't say enough good things about my experience with having our micro-wedding at the Loews!

We had an amazing wedding at the Renassaince Chicago North Shore Hotel! Michele Zurlo took care of everything and we can’t thank her enough! My husband and I are so grateful for Michele!

Tiffany and her crew were some of the most helpful, caring and responsive people ! Planning during a pandemic is hard, and yet they made it feel so easy! Tiffany helped. Us find backup plans in case we needed them and called or emailed to check in with us. I highly recommend!
