Just had a perfect wedding day here!! We celebrated our ceremony in the outdoor tent and had our reception in the Versailles Room. Everything was beautiful, ran smoothly, and the planning process with John Plafoutzis was effortless.

Royal Palms has always held a special place in our hearts. At the beginning of our relationship, I joined a league with my now-husband’s best friends. Shuffleboard (and Shuffleboard Bobs) brought us together, and they welcomed me into the group. We were league regulars and made some great memories, even though we rarely won a game. When we got engaged, we knew we wanted an untraditional wedding experience and were so excited that Royal Palms was willing to host us - their first wedding! Their events coordinator, Taylor, was just as enthusiastic and worked closely with us to plan an incredible event. We walked down a shuffleboard aisle on the roof while the Blue Line passed behind us, making for some incredible photos. Captain Scott gave our guests tutorials while they ate Big Star tacos from a truck and drank amazing cocktails. The energy was incredible, and it meant the world to us to see our families and friends connecting over rounds of shuffleboard. Hosting was easy - the space is already so beautiful that we did not bring in any decorations! No flowers or linens needed. Catering from a food truck was fun and unique. The photo station was fully stocked with props. The AV equipment was ready for a DJ and we kept our custom playlist bumping all night. The bartenders kept energy high and drinks flowing all night (truly the best bar in the city, in my opinion!). We danced and ate and played for hours. Our guests still talk about this night to this day. It was a party to remember, which is exactly what we wanted. Even better than the wonderful memories, pictures, and stories is the fact that we can go back whenever we want to relive the night. Even after two kids, we still make a point of playing a round of shuffleboard every year on our anniversary - it will be 6 years this fall! We cannot thank the Royal Palms staff enough for working with us. They are high-energy and fun, and they are also professional and take their clients’ experience very seriously. You would never know ours was their first wedding - they had every single detail covered, resulting in a seamless night. I look back on that night with nothing but happy memories. I wouldn’t change a single thing!

Our wedding was amazing at Eaglewood Resort & Spa! The service was unbelievable, the food was fabulous, and the whole day was seamless with Robb Rybicki leading the way. We planned to have our ceremony outside in the beautiful golf course, but God had other plans and it stormed. It was actually pretty cool. Robb quickly moved our ceremony into the ballroom, which was gorgeous! The whole venue is gorgeous and I wouldn’t have changed a thing! All of our guests raved about the truffled gnocchi, filet mignon, salmon and pork chop! The wine was very good too!

Loft on Lake (LoL) was the perfect venue for our wedding. We had 120 guests and held the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception there. It was just the right amount of space for a large amount of guests to enjoy themselves while keeping and intimate vibe. We worked with Art of Imagination (AoI) to decorate the space. AoI has a strong relationship with LoL and that really came through in the execution of the day-of look. We also worked with Jill Garrett (Venue Director at LoL) as a day-of coordinator. She was flexible and calm throughout all stages of planning, easing all our worries leading up to the event. On the actual wedding day she took care of everything without me even being aware. It really helped us to be present in the moment without worrying about transitions between ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. We were so happy with how everything turned out and highly recommend LoL and Jill!

Lisa and her team are, hands down, the best group of people I have ever met and would hire them 100% again and again. Lisa ensured she understood what our vision was by asking thorough and detailed questions. She went above and beyond contacting our venue and all necessary vendors to make sure everything ran smoothly. If there was ever an issue, she solved it without worrying us. And the day of our wedding, several of our guests informed us how amazing her and her teams’ service, professionalism, and how invested she is… not to mention how delicious all the food was, requiring seconds and thirds!!! There aren’t enough words to explain how phenomenal Lisa and her team are and how if it weren’t for Lisa, we wouldn’t have had the wedding of our dreams come true.

I used AVEC for my daughter pre-wedding event for the family and close friends of the bride and husband. The staff at AVEC really made it a life time memorable experience to last for everyone. As for the reception, the appetizers/ hors-d’oeuvre was excellent. The open bar and the wine selection made a difference for those who attended. For the friends of my daughters, AVEC was one of the restaurant that they envied to dine at and the second floor atmosphere made it a unique experience. As for the sit down dinner for the family, it become a highlight for both family history. The wine selection for dinner was memorable and was an experience which cannot be replicated. The food was excellent and the how the family style serving provided an atmosphere for everyone closer and to become “one family”. In my mind , this was one of the top experience I have had including my time as working and living as a top executive in the Chicago area in the past 20 years. I have organized and attended dinner events for business but this experience at AVEC was the one I enjoyed the most and is ranked as my number one. I have to say that all dining experience, the staff at AVEC served us and others with a kind, friendly, and proactive way which led making the whole dining experience one that can not match by other restaurants in Chicago or anywhere around the world. As a Japanese we are used to high quality personalized services but AVEC in the West Loop is in our mind belongs in the top league worldwide. I recommend AVEC with the highest level and without any hesitation if you are seeking a life time experience to be remembered for generations.

We found Sepia Private Dining and it was the perfect venue for our small wedding (50 guests). The Sepia staff did almost everything to make my wedding everything I wanted. The mirror on the wall and the decor matched our vibe. We had one set-up for the ceremony, then the guests had appetizers (we left to take pictures) and they changed the set-up for dinner and then moved a couple of tables for dancing later. I did not have a wedding planner and they made everything easy, from planning the menu to the set-up it was a stress free day! I would strongly recommend Sepia Private Dining for all of your smaller events.

We were lucky enough to book Canal Street Eatery & Market for our wedding on October 19th, 2024. Working with the Canal Street Team to create our event was absolutely incredible – everyone who works here is kind, warm and provided top tier service to us and our guests. Elise, the senior sales manager for catering and events, is an absolute rockstar. She ensured that our day went off without a hitch and worked very closely with us on all of the details that were important to us and our wedding day. She is extremely detail oriented, responsive, and above all else an incredible person. We love Elise!! Aside from the amazing team of people at Canal, the venue itself is absolutely jaw-dropping. Gorgeous high ceilings, perfectly decorated with a funky, yet simplistic design. It is truly the perfect setting for any party – and the pictures speak for themselves! We hardly added any of our own décor aside from our floral pieces and it was all the space needed. By utilizing the main dining space as well as their sister bar only a few steps away, we were able to have a seamless evening filled with delicious food, family and friends. We really cannot recommend Canal Street enough! Seriously, have your wedding here and come back again and again to relive the memories.

Our family held a rehearsal dinner for 60 people at Porter Kitchen on a beautiful night last fall and had the most wonderful experience. We worked with Laura, who shepherded us through the entire process from beginning to end. She welcomed every idea and desire we had with open arms, allowed us to bring in outside vendors for tables and chairs, linens, glassware and flowers and never once said “no” to any request we had. She introduced us to the chef at our tasting and he was fantastic with a willingness to adjust their entrée presentation and ingredients as long as we used ingredients that were already on their menu. They made adjustments for guests with gluten allergies and chef did all of this with a willingness to make his guests happy, without ego. The meal he and the staff served was spectacular and the table service matched the food. Throughout the evening, the ratio of staff to guests was abundant. Passed appetizers flowed continuously and there was never any wait for drinks. They encouraged us to stream our own Spotify playlists through their sound system to create the atmosphere we were seeking and helped us play videos on their multiple TV’s as well. By the end of the evening, our guests were raving about the event and how warmly they were treated the entire evening by the staff. Regardless of the type of event you are holding, this is a location on the river that is not to be missed and a more importantly, an exceptionally professional and accommodating staff that will help your vison come to life. Porter Kitchen easily exceeded all expectations and has earned our highest recommendation!

When it comes to Chicago weddings, Floating World Gallery is a hidden gem. Before we found Floating World, we were having a lackluster experience finding the right vendors for our wedding. However, that all changed as soon as we met Allen and Nicholette. They were always transparent and happy to guide us whenever we had questions. The wedding was beyond anything we could have expected. We highly recommend Floating World Gallery for your big day.

If you’re thinking about a stress free wedding, look no farther than seven bridges!!! The staff is INCREDIBLE. From the start, Roisin was a huge help. She had a list of questions to help with the planning process, helped us understand their packages and make adjustments as we needed, and answered all of my emails with random thoughts. The venue set everything up for us and took a huge chunk of our to do list off of our plate! Jen and Martin were fantastic as well at our rehearsal dinner and wedding day making sure everything went off without a hitch. They had a list of preferred vendors as well which was incredibly helpful in the rest of our search. Our day was absolutely beautiful and even more than we could have imagined!
