They went above and beyond anything that we contracted, providing 5 star service to not just us but every single guest that we had staying there.

Our experience with The Blackstone was amazing and we would recommend it to anyone considering their wedding here. It was the first venue we toured and it completely set the bar. The ballroom is stunning and we found ourselves comparing every other venue to it. Nothing else compared. Carly was so great to work with throughout the entire process. She kept us organized, answered all of our questions, and made everything feel smooth and stress free. On the wedding day, the team executed everything perfectly. Even with a full room flip between our ceremony and reception in the ballroom, the day flowed and stayed right on schedule. We felt the value was very reasonable for everything included. The food was delicious and the service was incredible. The bridal suite was also a special highlight for us. It was so huge and one of the nicest hotel rooms I have stayed in. Our guests loved their rooms too, and the pricing for our wedding block was great. We had all of our guests stay at The Blackstone and did not need to consider any secondary block elsewhere. If we could do it all over again we would choose the Blackstone every time

You’ll feel on top of the world. From its inception in the early 1920s, the Warwick Allerton has been the standard bearer of Jazz Age style and sophistication and remains one of Chicago’s most legendary addresses. And ever since its days as a Chicago hotspot hosting the likes of Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, and Lucille Ball at its legendary top-floor lounge the Tip Top Tap, the famous, fashionable and fun-loving alike have been drawn by the hotel’s unique architecture, unique charm, and breathtaking views. Today the beautifully restored Warwick Allerton – Chicago hotel wedding venue offers brides and grooms a chance to channel that timeless glamour into the wedding of their dreams and become a part of this hotel’s storied history.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Lighting and sound are not included
  • Does not have a dance floor
  • Not for you if you are drawn to more unconventional venues
One of the best decisions my now-husband and I made during the whole wedding process was the choice to host the celebration at the Warwick Allerton. Living in Florida and wanting to hold the wedding in the groom’s hometown, we had a very tight timeline with choosing a venue. By chance, we wandered into the famous hotel with the “Tip Top Tap” sign that we had always wondered about and asked if they did weddings- they did! We were absolutely STUNNED by the beautiful ballrooms, elegant chandeliers, and warm service we received. From the beginning, Mina was super helpful and answered all our questions clearly and promptly. She provided thoughtful suggestions and honest advice to help us plan an amazing wedding in a tight timeline- just four months by the time we contacted her. Wedding planning and tastings went smoothly and were super fun! The team at Warwick also accommodated my busy schedule super well. From the time I was a little girl, I dreamed of a cathedral wedding followed by an elegant reception in a penthouse ballroom in a city, preferably at Christmas. Every aspect of that was delivered on. I cannot put into words how STUNNING the ballroom was an the views- it was simply magical (not like a typical hotel/corporate ballroom), and Mina went above and beyond and made sure we had little Christmas decorations from her own house and a giant tree. She also found string lights and put in little decor touches that we didn’t know we needed, but enhanced the space. Cocktail hour was both cozy and glamorous. The bartending service was AMAZING- all of our guests raved at how kind and efficient the staff was. The bridal suite was gorgeous and comfortable as well. Speaking of guests, the Warwick room blocks are a fantastic deal. My guests loved staying in the heart of downtown. As a bride, I loved hearing how excited they were to see the city and the location on Michigan avenue cannot be topped. One of the highlights of the weekend was having everyone in one place and getting to take them around the city of Chicago- the hotels location facilitates this. Lastly, Mina, Christina, and the whole Warwick team facilitated the event smoothly and professionally. When no one in the wedding party could figure out the complicated bustle, Christina stepped in and made sure my dress looked fabulous the whole night, and I could dance! She did it so quickly that my husband and I were able to enjoy cocktail hour stress free. The whole Warwick team, including the bartenders, waitstaff, cleaners, cooks, and front desk staff are warm, personable, and incredibly professional and good at what they do. My husband and I could not be more grateful for them for making our dreams come true and truly making our wedding one of the best days of our lives. I would recommend the Warwick to any bride who wants an elegant venue that truly speaks for itself, a team of vendors that truly care about your wishes and go above and beyond on your special day, and an absolutely fabulous guest experience.

We loved working with Rob and his team to create an unforgettable day, thank you to everyone at the Hilton who works so hard to pull off events like ours regularly. This is why I recommend a union hotel to any couples looking to get married without getting bogged down in details and logistics - these people are pros!

My husband and I had the luxury of hosting our special day at Hyatt Regency Chicago. We knew it would be a seamless day with Rebecca Stern at the helm. She provided innovative ideas, solutions to areas of opportunity, and always provided a listening ear with any inquiry that arose. The Hotel Staff was prompt with any onsite request(s), and made our Guests feel welcomed from the point of arrival until post-Wedding Brunch. We utilized the onsite Outlet restaurant(s) for various social gatherings, and felt the Team was well prepared for our Wedding weekend. For out-of-town Guests, or suburban locals, their location alone allows for scenic exploring and easy transportation from Ceremony to Reception location(s). We hosted a post-Wedding Brunch onsite, and it capped off a wonderful weekend. We highly recommend Hyatt Regency Chicago for your special day!

Planning an Indian wedding in Chicago — with 700 to 1,000 guests — felt overwhelming at first. We knew we needed a venue that wasn’t just beautiful, but one that truly understood the scale, the culture, and the heart behind a celebration like ours. After searching everywhere, we found the Sheraton Grand on the River… and it ended up being everything we hoped for and more. From the moment we walked in, we felt supported. Vince was one of the first people we worked with, and he made such a difference. When we ran into a small issue with our room blocks, he handled it with so much kindness and patience. It wasn’t just “good service” — it felt like someone genuinely looking out for us during one of the most stressful parts of planning. Behind the scenes, Lisa was our quiet hero. Coordinating with third‑party vendors — especially our own caterers — can be complicated, but she managed it all seamlessly. Knowing she was on top of every detail gave us so much peace of mind. We never had to worry about whether things were being handled; she made sure everything just worked. The venue itself was magical. We split our reception into a cocktail hour and a sit‑down dinner, and the flow couldn’t have been more perfect. The Riverwalk during Labor Day weekend felt like something out of a movie — the views, the energy, the breeze off the water. It created such a joyful start to the evening. And when we stepped into the reception hall… it took our breath away. With the décor in place, it felt grand, elegant, and full of warmth. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful everything looked. Looking back, choosing the Sheraton Grand was one of the best decisions we made. They didn’t just give us a venue — they gave us a team that cared, a space that elevated our traditions, and a wedding day we’ll remember for the rest of our lives.

Writing this on our one-year wedding anniversary reminds us how much care and thought went into making our day so special. We exchanged our vows at the venue with a small group of only family and 2 officiants, and Charmagne and her team made the entire experience feel intimate, elegant, and truly meaningful. From the beginning, they were incredibly professional, organized, and attentive to every detail. They listened to our vision and offered thoughtful insight throughout the planning process, which made everything feel smooth and stress-free. What stood out most was how considerate they were with our guests. They handled dietary needs with great care and were especially attentive to my elderly parents, making sure they were comfortable and well taken care of. Looking back a year later, we are so grateful for the kindness, attention, and dedication they put into making our wedding day unforgettable. Thank you

The Grand Oaks Pavillion was one of the most beautiful reception spaces I have seen. The staff’s attention and care from the first consult to the final day was exceptional. Jason made sure everything was on time and perfect. The food was fantastic. Everyone had a great time. I am incredibly grateful to Jason, Tiana, Herminio, and the rest of the staff (front desk, servers, valet) for making my daughter’s special day so memorable.

We wanted a more casual wedding and pinstripes was perfect for that. The weather was perfect so we were able to have our ceremony outside on the patio and that area was perfect for the pictures! We had bowling during cocktail hour which our guests loved. The food was incredible and they did a great job managing our cake, decor, and everything we dropped off. The whole staff was so easy to work with and all of the meetings went so smooth.
