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!

Many venues we researched already had a lot of character on their own and it was hard to find one that accurately reflected our vibes. At first I was hesitant because most of the gallery is light and airy and I wasn't sure it would be the type of moody we wanted to achieve, but the space is a beautiful blank canvas. When we went for a tour I knew it was the right choice. You don't need dramatic decorations, just simple things and lighting. Several weddings I've attended were at places where multiple events were going on at once and it felt crowded and confusing. Here you get the whole building to yourself and it felt very exclusive and intimate. Our wedding was a winter night by candle light and they reflected beautifully in the large windows and created a sanctuary of warm light on the cold night. It made me feel like royalty and it wouldn't have been the same anywhere else. My guests described the night as magical. The venue team was so understanding and accommodating. They went above and beyond to make sure it was everything we wanted. They were easy to reach and quick to respond. I hope I have the opportunity to use this space again.

CityGate Grille is THE hidden gem in Naperville! I have DJ'd several times at CityGate Grille and this is one of the few venues in the Chicagoland area that I will refer to my clients. First of all, the staff that you work with is literally second-to-none. Barb is extremely nice, professional, always has a smile on her face and is willing to go above and beyond to make sure that your wedding is absolutely perfect! The staff on the day of your wedding are timely, professional, courteous, and will stop at nothing to give you one of the best experiences of your life! Even at a vendor table, they treat you with respect and ask if there is anything we need - and, again, that's just at a VENDOR TABLE! Secondly, the space is beautiful! CityGate's lawn and patio ceremony areas are perfect! Confined to just your family and friends, there will be no worries of having random people walking by during your ceremony - which I personally love as your ceremony needs to be intimate between you, your spouse, and your guests. The actual reception space is gorgeous! Floor-to-ceiling windows looking out to the patio coupled with aesthetically-pleasing ceiling lights and bar with all of the fixin's for that perfect cocktail will keep you and your guests more than satisfied throughout your reception. Finally, the service is FIVE STARS ACROSS THE BOARD! This should be the single most important aspect of selecting your wedding venue. As I stated above, from your first meeting down to the minuscule details, Barb and her team have it covered 100%. Everyone will treat you with kindness, respect, and will be genuinely excited about your celebration! Do yourself a favor and look no further than CityGate Grille for your wedding reception. You won't regret it for a moment!

"I can't recommend Seven Bridges Golf Club enough! From their beautiful ceremony space to the fantastic onsite bar and catering, they truly offer an all-in-one experience that made wedding planning a breeze for us. Our sunset ceremony was absolutely breathtaking, with the sun setting over the rolling hills of the course, creating the perfect backdrop for our special day. The venue itself is stunning, but what really sets Seven Bridges apart is their exceptional staff. Every member of the team, from the waiters to the bartenders, was amazing, but a special shoutout goes to Roisin, who was an absolute gem throughout our entire year of planning. She was always responsive, supportive, and a wealth of knowledge. On the day of our wedding, Jen stepped in and ensured everything went off without a hitch. Her professionalism and calm demeanor were exactly what we needed. As a couple who planned everything ourselves, it was incredibly reassuring to hear our parents rave about the outstanding service they experienced. If you're looking for a venue that combines convenience, elegance, and a top-notch team, Seven Bridges is the perfect choice!"

The venue is absolutely beautiful with stunning views that created the perfect backdrop for our day.

Our reception was in the ballroom which was absolutely perfect. Michelle and the entire team made sure that everything went exactly according to plan. And... THE FOOD!!!!

My daughter and son in law were just married at Two Brothers Roundhouse just over week ago. Suffice it to say that everything came out absolutely perfect. From day one, Lori and Nicole put our minds at ease answering every one of our questions and no question was too crazy for them. There is so much included in the package, the cake from Sweet Reserve Bakery (delicious!) , a plated meal or many different buffets to choose from. We had a plated dinner and everything was devine! Hor d'oeuvres, a fabulous beer selection at the bar... The outdoor gazebo was the perfect backdrop for their ceremony and the building itself is really interesting if you're into historical venues. Angie and Elizabeth took the reins for day of coordinating and I can't say enough good things about their professionalism and attention to detail. They took the worry out of everything1 So if you're looking for the perfect venue for your wedding, look no further than Two Brothers!

We had Ravi do the catering for my daughter's wedding, which was at The Old Post Office in 2022. The tasting we had was fantastic, as a result we ended up offering more varieties of appetizers than originally planned, they were all amazing! The dinner options we chose were over the top! In addition my daughter wanted a dessert that wasn't on Ravi's menu, but he made it happen for her. Fast forward to 2024, my daughter is expecting and I was beginning to plan a baby shower for her. I called Ravi and found out he had become the caterer of choice for The Oak Brook Manor. Ravi bent over backwards to give my daughter the perfect baby shower. The facility is beautiful, and of course the food outstanding! We had 40 people, some of the choices of food we had were the siracha chicken, which everyone loved & my favorite!!! Swedish meatballs, not one was left over. Pulled pork, amazing. Mac & cheese, loved it! Vegetarian pasta salad, a big hit. Our guests went back for 2nds & 3rds and everyone loved it. I would, without a doubt, recommend Ravi. His food choices and quality go above and beyond. The venue itself is perfect. I would use Ravi in a heartbeat and know that he would be providing the best ingredients, service, location, and on-hand help/experience!!!

Our experience at The Drake was incredibly special! From the moment we had our tour, we loved how friendly everyone was and how beautiful each space is. We met with Melissa, who was very kind and truly a lifesaver! She helped us create our dream wedding, and we can’t thank her enough. Melissa was our primary contact leading up to the wedding, and communication was always prompt. Our questions were answered quickly and effectively. On our wedding day, The Drake staff was very helpful and attentive, making sure everything went smoothly. The venue is absolutely stunning, and everyone did everything they could to make this the best day ever! We could not be happier with our choice and would highly recommend this venue!

Welcome to 223 Main! Located in the Heart of Downtown Lemont’s historical district, just three doors down from the Metra Station, 223 Main boasts a storied origin. Initially built in the 1900s as a double storefront, it transformed throughout the century into a department store, political office, coffee shop, and now an event space. 223 Main is owned and operated by a local Lemont couple, Hector and Lauren Tamayo. Hector grew up in Lemont and always loved the downtown area. At the beginning of 2020, the coffee shop leasing the space decided to close down. While brainstorming what the building could be next, the Covid-19 Pandemic hit. Lauren and Hector decided to cancel their destination wedding and remodel 223 Main. After having their intimate wedding at the building, they decided to officially launch 223 Main and open the space up to the community to enjoy.

The team at 223 Main was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. We planed the wedding in a few weeks and it was super easy. Their communication was fast, friendly and easy - they were always available to answer our questions and walked us through every aspect of our special day. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful and the perfect size for our 30-person wedding. We had the ceremony and reception inside and they went above and beyond to make sure everything was set up perfectly ahead of time, including the decor, and the day-of staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The packages they offer for liquor and the option to bring in our own were also huge perks. We couldn't have asked for a better venue and highly recommend 223 Main to any couple planning an intimate wedding celebration.

We had our wedding at Rosewood farm in August 2025 and it was the most perfect day we could imagine, and lots of that can be credited to the venue and the staff there. Harmony was a huge help during the planning process and made sure we had every detail in line. The new event space is so gorgeous and we had so many compliments from our guests about how amazing the venue was. It was so much fun to have our guests walk around the farm and see the animals as well. We also purchased our flowers from Rosewood, they not only fit our budget but they turned out stunning. We were over the moon and we can’t recommend this place enough!!

It was a pleasure to work with Jodi at the Belvedere Banquet. She was amazing and made it very simple and easy at every step. I saw the prices and we talked about any changes along with the price for any changes. I got a packet that clearly stated what was included so I did not have to guess or question anything. We agreed on everything and I put down a small payment. Next payment could be spread out or in my case since the wedding was so close, I just paid in full. No extra fees were added on. Over the next few weeks, I had a few questions arise and she answered everything within the same day or next business day. My vendors were able to set up earlier than expected which was nice for them. I stayed next door at the hotel which was very convenient. They have doors that open between the hotel lobby and the banquet lobby. Plus a beautiful indoor lobby and outdoor courtyard for pictures. I loved the tall ceiling and the windows at my wedding. The food was amazing as well. I got many complements from my guests about the quality of the food. Many guests also enjoyed taking pictures in the lobby. Food was served at a timely manner. Overall, a very pleasant experience.

We had the pleasure and privilege of working with Fabiola, Lisa, and Jill as our event managers at the Marriott Chicago Southwest at Burr Ridge for our wedding weekend in April 2025. Throughout the planning process (January 2024 - April 2025), we probably had more than 100 questions varying in detail, and Fabiola / Lisa consistently answered our questions holistically with patience and grace. The staff is very knowledgeable and experienced with hosting Indian weddings successfully, which made the planning even easier. When the time came, Marriott worked seamlessly with all of our vendors and shielded us from logistics that we didn't need to get involved with. This took a huge load off of our shoulders, and gave us the space to prepare for our big day. Beyond helping perfect the details of the actual wedding events, Marriott was very helpful and responsive with helping us manage our hotel guest room block. Whether we needed an ad-hoc report of our currently booked rooms and/or a quick turn-around of adding more rooms to the block, they were always quick and happy to help. We would truly use the word "perfect" to describe how the weekend came together and it would not have been possible without all of the help, support and guidance from the Marriott staff. Thank you so much, we will always be grateful! We would 100% recommend the Marriott at Burr Ridge for any of your events, you will be in fantastic hands!

Fishermen's Inn was the perfect venue for our wedding. Their communication style was effective, fast, and thorough from the moment we first inquired about booking. The quality of their work and the overall value was exceptional - everything was clean, elegant, and beautifully orchestrated. They went above and beyond to ensure our special day was perfect. For example, I had a large cross that didn't fit the altar in the ceremony space, but instead of not allowing me to have anything at all, they provided their own ceremony cross for us to use free of charge. We loved this venue and felt it was worth every penny. They have so many included perks which allows you way less stress on wedding planning.
