The Crystal Ballroom & Lounge

Hubby and I had our wedding over the weekend on August 8^th 2015 at The Crystal Ballroom and Amy, Alberto and Matt had worked with us for nearly a year now to help us create the perfect event for our wedding. Amy, Alberto, Oscar and Matt especially (on his first week on the job), knew instinctively how to set up the room to maximize the room space, efficiently time our reception from start to finish, craft a delicious dinner menu and create an enticing space to dance. I know this is something that many people don’t even think about. But remember, the ceremony may last 90 minutes; the speeches 30 minutes; even dinner 60 minutes; but in the end, it’s the overall experience that we had that created those most talked about memories.
Matt’s careful attention to detail and the staff constantly checking in on us says a lot about their attentiveness and wanting to put their best foot forward to make us happy. Thank you for helping us consummate the wedding of our dreams.

My fiancé and I went to visit the venue as a potential option for our wedding. Amy, the wedding/​event planner is AMAZING. She greeted me with wedding magazines and knew our names from e-​mails. She was enthusiastic and accommodating in every way. The venue was beautiful and had so much character, however is was not perfect our perfect match. However, we wish we could take Amy with us to plan our wedding. I would have complete trust in her.

I recently planned our company Holiday Party at the Crystal Ballroom and was so impressed with the beautiful venue and excellent service. The décor is so elegant with the beautiful chandeliers and mirrors. The food was exceptional in presentation and flavor. Everyone was commenting on how delicious the food was. Our captain Alberto was very attentive along with his staff. They were very easily found throughout the entire evening. Amy the catering director was also constantly checking in with everyone to make sure that we had everything we needed. She was very helpful with the menu selections and I knew I would have nothing to worry about. I was able to enjoy the evening knowing that everything was taken care of. No detail was overlooked. I was very impressed that when I got up after dinner to go to the dance floor, I returned to my seat to find my napkin neatly re-​folded and in place. The entire staff was friendly from the valet to the coat check person. I would highly recommend the Crystal Ballroom for any festive event. This is truly an exquisite elegant venue!

Hidden Gem in Chicago. My first impression when visiting this venue space was Stylish, Classy, and Elegant. The venue is honestly one of a kind. The entrance, lounge, and ballroom were both chic and upscale.
My Fiancé and I visited the location this last weekend and we both knew this is the one. Keep in mind we visited more than 10 other venues and contacted many many more.
We met with Amy. She was very thorough and pleasant to meet with. She also was very flexible with our idea’s with a Indian/​Pakistani wedding. Amy explained how the owners of the property were married at the same venue in 1960’s. I like how there is history in the place.
We placed our date on hold (summer of 2015) and going next week to claim it. I will update my review after our event takes place. My Fiancé and I are very excited and have high hopes for our event.
This venue will catch on soon and will no doubt be in high demand.
