    The Wade Hotel was an excellent choice for our wedding venue. Their communication style was positive, professional, and enthusiastic, and they were incredibly supportive throughout the planning process. The entire staff, from the restaurant team to the concierge, security team and valet, were friendly and helpful, ensuring a seamless experience. We thoroughly enjoyed the tasting process, and all of our guests raved about the food and drinks. Although our onsite event manager has since left, she was wonderful to work with as well as our initial booking contact, Natalie. The Wade Hotel provided the best value for our chic city wedding, and we were able to accrue Marriott Bonvoy points, which was an added bonus. We definitely recommend the Wade Hotel. A couple of watchpoints to consider: - we loved the ability to have an outdoor wedding facing the lake however the end of May in Chicago was unpredictable so it was cooler than we hoped. The sun is covered by the building so if your event is in the afternoon/evening that wont help - Our wedding was 150 guests and it was "tight" in the Altitude reception space. I think 125 would have been far more comfortable. - Our wedding was on a holiday weekend so unfortunately many of our guests did not receive lake view rooms for the room block. Some guests also were able to find prices cheaper elsewhere online.

    The Wade Hotel was the perfect venue for our wedding! From the moment we first contacted them, the staff was incredibly fast, approachable, and responsive. Daisy, our event manager, was an absolute delight to work with - she had a keen eye for detail and went above and beyond to ensure our special day was absolutely gorgeous. The venue itself was stunning, with beautiful decor and a wonderful ambiance that our guests raved about. The team at The Wade Hotel truly helped make our wedding day terrific in every way. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and are so grateful for their hard work and hospitality.
