“Genuine people with a beautiful space inside and out to use that checks all the boxes. They are easy to work with and responsive throughout the planning process. Staff go above and beyond to make your big day perfect. The bridal getting ready room is beautiful and has everything you’d need. Having the onsite hotel was perfect and convenient for us and our guests. They added a grooms room to the hotel that was perfect for them as well. Also best wedding food we’ve ever had- our guests asked if they owned a restaurant because they want to eat their food again!

“Embassy Suites by Hilton is such a wonderful space to hold a wedding! My husband and our families first met with their event staff in March 2025 for a wedding just five months later on August 30th, 2025! I credit the wonderful and knowledgeable event staff, Karina Oliva (Wedding Coordinator at Embassy Suites in Brookfield, WI) especially for this turn around! The planning process was a breeze with her constant advice, patience and expertise. Karina guided us through the timeline, helping us add personal touches and always reminding us that everything was alright and we were exactly where we should be in terms of planning! She was completely patient in my constant questions and slight delays in decision making. Karina and some of her event staff are bilingual as well, which helped in planning as my husband and his family are from Ecuador—as well as some of our guests who only spoke Spanish! Since Embassy suites allows pets we were also permitted to have our dog be our ring barrier which was a dream of ours since the beginning! I got so many compliments from my guests at how wonderful my wedding was and a huge part is to do with the Embassy Suites staff. They were around and ready during the celebration to assure everything moved as smooth as possible! The food was delicious (especially the appetizer we served which were the potstickers). Both me, my husband and my mother are so incredibly pleased at our experience with embassy suites! Thank you so much to the staff for making the night perfect! Special shout out to Karina Oliva who did such a wonderful job I cannot thank her enough!”

“I recently attended a wedding at Dresden Castle for a close friend, and having been looped into much of the planning, I can confidently say the venue and its team exceeded expectations. The space itself is breathtaking—historic architecture, stained glass, and vaulted ceilings that give the entire event a sense of timeless elegance. It’s rare to find a venue that feels both grand and intimate, but Dresden Castle strikes that balance beautifully. The garden area was especially memorable for photos and quiet moments between the ceremony and reception. From what I observed and heard throughout the planning process, Jason and Alex were outstanding partners. They were responsive, organized, and genuinely invested in making the day seamless. Their flexibility with vendors, clear communication, and calm presence during setup made a huge difference. They anticipated needs before they became issues and handled last-minute adjustments with grace. The amenities were modern and well-maintained—sound system, WiFi, private rooms for the wedding party, and a layout that flowed naturally from ceremony to celebration. The staff were professional and courteous, and the bartenders kept everything moving smoothly without ever feeling rushed. As a guest, I was impressed. As someone who saw the behind-the-scenes effort, I was even more so. Dresden Castle is a gem for couples who want a venue that’s visually stunning, logistically sound, and run by people who truly care.”

“Jane was an absolute dream to work with as our coordinator for our wedding ceremony at the Noble Victory Memorial Chapel. We originally began working with Duane, and after he retired, Jane stepped in so seamlessly that the transition felt completely effortless. From start to finish, she made everything stress-free with her calm presence, organization, and attention to detail. She ensured our ceremony flowed perfectly and made us feel so supported throughout the entire process, allowing us to truly enjoy every moment of our day. We couldn’t have asked for a better coordinator or a more beautiful experience. We are so grateful for Jane and highly recommend her and the Chapel to any couple planning their wedding!”

“From start to finish, our experience with Canvas was a dream. We first met the team of Canvas in January of 2022 for our wedding in September 2023. Bergen swept us off our feet and won our hearts after our first phone call with her. After seeing the venue for the first time, we were completely blown away. There is no other reception space like it. During the event itself, everything flowed smoothly and was handled with ease. Truly could not say a single bad thing about them! Thank you Canvas for making our wedding dreams come true! 3”

“If there was an option to give more than 5 stars, The Valerie deserves it! I don't even know where to start - everything was even more perfect than we could have imagined. Picking a venue is a very tough, but important decision. I found myself googling The Valerie daily before finally biting the bullet on a venue that wasn't even built yet - but boy am I glad I did!!! This place is absolutely STUNNING. From the very beginning, I knew I wanted a classy and elegant vibe for my wedding and The Valerie matches that perfectly. From the gorgeous bridal suite, to the large light wall, the sparkly chandeliers, the aesthetic bars, the names of all the spaces, and the employees. Matty is such a joy to work with! From the initial conversation to the very last, he made sure that everything was perfect. He was extremely prompt in his responses via email, text, and call. Anything I needed, he was there to find the answer for me. He is AMAZING at what he does and we are so thankful! My ONE request was an espresso martini tower—and the second I said it, Matty didn’t hesitate. He just said, ‘Let’s do it!’ and made it happen. Jen was the MVP! We met Jen at our 90 day check in and immediately clicked and she offered to be our Wedding Coordinator from that point on - BEST DECISION EVER! She made everything go so smoothly, I didn't have to worry about a thing. Jen was also available at any time of the day to answer and questions or even offer suggestions! Half the time, I didn’t even know what I wanted—but Jen somehow took my scattered thoughts and turned them into something more beautiful than I could’ve imagined. I saw so many mixed opinions about hiring a wedding coordinator—so many people said we could just 'do it ourselves.' But looking back, I know without a doubt that our wedding was everything we dreamed of because of her! Mike, Jordan, and Madeline were the bartenders working the night of our wedding and they played one of the biggest roles of the night! All of our guests were raving about Mike's Brandy Old Fashions :) The three of them made sure all of the guests were taken care of in a timely manner and we are so appreciative of their service! For all the future brides out there - this is the BEST place to have the wedding of your dreams :)”

“We had our wedding here in July and are so incredibly grateful to the entire team for making it such a special occasion. I really wanted beautiful window light to make it appear "natural" and not so "banquet" without having to be outside and the Chandler achieved this. We worked with Lisa throughout the planning and actual event and she was great to work with. We had an appetizer tasting, wine tasting, and then entrée tasting and they made it very relaxing and easy. We went with the carving stations and they were delicious & guests could pick what they wanted and how much they wanted. Our picks - they were all so good: HOT: Mac & Cheese Bites and Fried Chicken Potstickers COLD: Antipasti Spears and Tomato Basil Bruschetta Carving Stations: Roast Sirloin of Beef Herb-roasted Turkey Mashed potato bar was amazing!! I really appreciated that they had a lot of dietary needs alternatives. The staff was so nice and accommodating, the ambiance was perfect, and it was the perfect place for our 110-person wedding reception. We used Mel Schroeder Photo for photography and Fantastic DJs for our DJ.”

“Meridian Banquets came through for us in a pinch when our original venue canceled six months out from our May wedding. Bob and Tina were absolute gems to work with, they helped us maintain the vision we had, while also providing even more special touches we didn't even think about. The space is absolutely GORGEOUS! Everyone who attended our wedding swears we spent a fortune, but that's the thing, our space, 2 entree meal, wedding cake (included with our package), open bar and sweet table was very affordable! I am referring everyone I know to Meridian, and will use them again for any future events.”

“The Factory on Barclay was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we started planning, the team at FOB was responsive, helpful, and confident in guiding us through the planning process. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful and super spacious. As our details came together, I started to worry the industrial look wasn't matching the rest of my wedding style, but we added some drapery to soften the space and it was PERFECT. The brick, high ceilings, drapes, florals, beautiful chandeliers... it was stunning. The big bar by the dance floor was an absolute hit, and we were able to use the outdoor patio space to have a mini golf course during our reception! Mei-Lyn was extremely knowledgeable and always available to answer our questions or meet with us as we planned. Whenever we asked to come take another walk through of the venue, Mei-Lyn was available and happy to help. The Factory on Barclay was truly one of the best choices we made for our wedding. We got so many comments from guests who loved the venue as much as we did.”

“We highly recommend The Seville Chicagoland as a wedding venue. Desire was amazing to work with - she communicated promptly and professionally every step of the way. The space itself is elegant without the high price tag, giving great value. On our big day, The Seville really came through for us. When some out-of-town guests couldn't make the rehearsal, Desire allowed us to cancel without penalty. She also helped with DJ equipment rental when our original rental fell through. We couldn't have asked for a better venue or coordinator for our special day. The Seville handled all the little details and last minute changes beautifully.
