They were so helpful from day of, to planning, to the DJ, and all my questions in between. I would highly suggest using this venue. We got SO many compliments from our guests. They also were so excited to have my dog involved with our wedding and that was very important to me.

Jerry and his crew made out wedding day incredible! They helped run the whole day, they got the guests seated, kept everything on schedule, and ensured that Ben and I didn't have to worry about anything. When our flowergirl got stage-fright right before walking down the aisle, Jerry swooped in to save the day and helped her find her mom. We initially didn't plan to do a grand entrance into the reception, but Jerry and the DJ (Megan from Music that Moves) made one happen last-minute so our flower girl could have a second shot ar throwing her petals. You're not just getting a venue at Parkway, you're getting a whole team who will make your event run smoothly. If we ever do a vow renewal or anniversary party, we will be back!

This place was so good to us through the planning process. We booked about 2 years ahead of our date as the world was coming off all the covid craziness. I had seen them on social media prior to getting engaged and we booked after it being the only venue we toured. It is the perfect back drop to any theme or color palette. Let me tell you, they have it all! I worked closest with Kelsey and then Hanni and they were wonderful. Always available by email every step of the way through planning and sent reminders of when we needed to get together for detail meetings. I loved that I was able to do ceremony, reception, food/beverage, tables/chairs, linens, photobooth and even decor with them. It was so nice to have less outside vendors to coordinate. They throw an amazing tasting party where you get to sample a good portion of the menu items including drinks and meet other couples. The tier packages they have updated make it even easier to get an 'all inclusive' experience. (I also booked my bridal shower at Circa on Seventh and got some freebies for already having my wedding booked with them) Everyone I have run into since our wedding has RAVED about the food that it was the best wedding food they have ever had. We did custom cocktails that they special ordered ingredients for. As far as logistics, I was able to drop all my decor off the week of the wedding and did not have to pick up til the Monday after which was a HUGE RELIEF. The bridal suites are absolutely gorgeous and photograph well. There is not a spot for the guys to get ready but the staff had plenty of suggestions and partnerships with other close-by establishments. Also, my wedding was mid July and my dress was quite heavy so it did get hot on the dance floor even with AC. All in all, I would absolutely do it all over again. THANKS UPPER EAST/CULINARY INFUSIONS!!

My partner and I just got married at Illinois Beach Hotel and I could not be happier. Kellie who runs the events was very kind and accommodating. Especially in the month leading up to the wedding, communication was clear, quick and consistent. The price could not be beat. We actually added a welcome dinner and farewell brunch because it was more affordable than comparable venues we viewed. It was wonderful for our guests because they could stay right there at the hotel and also enjoy time on the beach. All staff we encountered were kind, helpful and professional. Kellie helped organize the vendors and helped us get everything set up. In addition, the reception space in the ballroom has a beautiful view of the lake. The food for all three of our events was delicious. Our suite was clean and beautiful. I highly recommend this venue if you want a beautiful beach wedding at an affordable price that is convenient for out of town guests.
