The Midland Hotel, Chicago, was the perfect venue for our wedding celebration. From the very beginning, their communication was clear, prompt, and engaging, which put us at ease throughout the planning process. The character of the space was truly beautiful, with gorgeous architectural details and an immaculately pristine, timeless aesthetic. We really enjoyed the welcome our guests received entering the hotel with the bar paying homage to the Chicago Loop. It is truly like none other! Staff went above and beyond to ensure our special day was seamless, even going so far as to provide personalized assistance to our elderly family member who required additional accessibility getting around. The Midland Hotel's exceptional service and the beauty of their venue made our wedding day feel truly magical. We are so grateful to have celebrated at such a wonderful place.
