Do you want to have a completely stress-free wedding day and planning experience? Then book your wedding here. Throughout the year I had to plan my wedding at BWH, I had countless people ask me if I was stressed, or comment that I seemed pretty relaxed for planning a wedding. That’s because Sharon S. and BWH’s recommended vendors make having a wedding here the most seamless and worry free experience. Everyone is so easy and fun to work with and made everything a breeze. Our family and wedding party noted how professional and coordinated everybody was- they run a tight ship! I can’t recommend this venue enough, and I am so glad we had our wedding here. Everything went perfectly- thank you so much Sharon!

Renaissance Schaumburg Convention Center Hotel 
Schaumburg, IL
  • Up to 1100 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor
  • Starts at $23,000

From the moment you arrive at Renaissance Schaumburg Convention Center Hotel, you experience our warm and thoughtful welcome. Set alongside tranquil wetlands, a cascading waterfall, and a profusion of green, we provide a rare and soothing calm. This is not your typical convention hotel. Our façade faces two ponds, each shooting a waterjet fountain into the air. Upon a watery channel extending the length of the hotel stands Chronos, a stunning stainless-steel sculpture forged by John Portman and named for the Greek god of space. At first glance, this brilliant piece of art – resembling the crumpled piece of paper that inspired it – appears as a sphere of interlocking metal planes. But it is equally composed of open space, a theme we echo in the airiness of our hotel. A pair of massive curved rails reaches out from our entrance like two arms embracing the whole scene – and embracing you in the spirit of our Midwestern hospitality.
