I cannot recommend Lytle more! They were so patient, organized and communicative during our entire year leading up to our wedding day. If you're looking for a small to medium sized wedding space that's intimate and beautiful this is the place! It's decorated enough to stand on it's own, but open and spacious enough to add your own decor elements to it.

Beautiful venue and stunning for the price compared to a lot of locations. Really easy to work with but we found ourselves repeating details A LOT and yet some of them got lost anyways - for example, I had made a full allergy list for the reception organized by table, and yet staff brought me (the bride) food I am dangerously allergic to. It was fixed quickly but annoying because I’d spent so much time preparing this and details got lost anyways. This happened in multiple ways. Several things—ceremony set up, rehearsal timeline, etc—were easily fixed, but shouldn’t have needed to be fixed in the first place, given the amount of prep we did.

Where do I begin to review the absolute best vendor in the world? My husband and I looked at one place before the Marriott for our wedding, and the second we saw the Marriott and started speaking to the sales manager, we were sold. They were so accommodating from start to finish. Jill, Faby, and the entire team met and exceeded every single one of our expectations. The marriott @ burr ridge is not only an amazing location, our guests loved it, the rooms were nice and updated, affordable pricing, BEAUTIFUL and HUGE ballroom, great food, and I cannot think of one reason not to book here. If you want a stress-free wedding process at a place that you. your future spouse, and all of your guests are going to love, then look no further. I will never stop recommending the Marriott @ Burr Ridge for hosting a wedding. The absolute BEST vendor. THANK YOU MARRIOTT for making June 8 the best day of our lives!!!!!!

The Olympia Fields Park District is possibly one of the best park districts in the south suburbs. Every location they offer to have an event at is top tier. The Olympia Fields Park District is a photographer's dream. Whether you are planning a wedding, bridal shower, party, celebration, corporate retreat, workshop, retirement dinner, or an association meeting, their facilities can provide the perfect setting for you. The Bradford barn takes the cake when it comes to ELEGANCE. I worked as a photographer at every location the Olympia Fields Park District has to offer and they all receive five stars from me. The thing that gives Olympia Fields Park District the Superior advantage over other locations and park districts is the option to have everything set up how you want it. From the catering to the layout to the design, they don't get in your way. Most banquet halls force your hand when it comes to catering or using their partners, but the Olympia Fields Park District let's you host your event how you would like to. Also their locations bring a different kind of highly upscale energy. When you host an event in the Olympia Fields Park District, there's a certain level of excellence and class that comes with it. If you plan on renting one of their facilities, I would strongly suggest calling to check if the date and time you are looking to get is available. They host lots of events and you don't want to find yourself thinking you will be able to rent a location and it is already booked up.

We wanted a more casual wedding and pinstripes was perfect for that. The weather was perfect so we were able to have our ceremony outside on the patio and that area was perfect for the pictures! We had bowling during cocktail hour which our guests loved. The food was incredible and they did a great job managing our cake, decor, and everything we dropped off. The whole staff was so easy to work with and all of the meetings went so smooth.

Venuti's Italian Restaurant & Banquet Hall was the perfect venue for our wedding celebration. From the very beginning, their communication was quick, simple, and reliable - they made the planning process a breeze. The quality of their work and value was exceptional, with a beautiful, clean space featuring high ceilings and lots of natural lighting that created the perfect atmosphere for our special day. They went above and beyond, cutting and serving our wedding cake beautifully and creating custom menus that perfectly matched our invitations. The Vita room was ideal for our micro-wedding of 40 guests, providing an intimate and elegant setting. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue - Venuti's truly helped make our day unforgettable.

Eaglewood Resort & Spa is such a lovely place to work for us. We are always happy when clients come to us saying they have booked at Eaglewood and would like to hire a coordinator. Not only is the staff professional, they are reliable, dependable, and easy to work with. Ultimately, however, what they want is for their clients to have the best day ever! We love that about Eaglewood!

I attended a Murder Mystery night at this venue during the winter and was very pleased with how the evening went! The production company that set up the "theater" was fantastic and made everyone feel very comfortable while the event coordination made everything run smooth, from drink service to food! The food is delicious (highly recomend the cheese curds) and the space is beautiful, with a nice chandalier bringing everything together. Had a great time!

Upscale hideaway near Chicago: quiet and secluded, it's a great place to slow down and be pampered during your wedding. It's pricier compared to other venues in the area, but this place truly offers a "get what you pay for" experience.

Had the 5 hour lunch wedding package on 5/20/23. It was fabulous. Lisa was the wedding coordinator and offered the Emerald Room with high ceilings. Very light and airy. She set up everything beautifully. Lots of food. Cake was beautiful and delicious. Everything was perfect. The only thing that could have changed was cleanup started 15 minutes before event ended which caused some guests to leave slightly early. But overall a 10 out of 10. You will not be disappointed by selecting Villa Olivia. Also beautiful outdoor pictures at this facility.
