From start to finish, our experience at Bartlett Hills Golf Club & Banquets was nothing short of spectacular. The venue itself is stunning , nestled in a picturesque setting with rolling greens and beautiful views that added a touch of magic to our special day. But what truly made the event unforgettable was Evan. He was an absolute gem throughout the entire planning process. Friendly, organized, and incredibly accommodating, Evan took the stress out of every decision and made everything feel effortless. It felt like he genuinely cared about making our day perfect — and he absolutely delivered. The banquet space was beautifully set up, the food was exceptional, and the staff provided attentive service that left our guests raving.

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!

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.

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

Where do I begin to review the absolute best vendor in the world? My husband and I looked at one place before the Marriott for our wedding, and the second we saw the Marriott and started speaking to the sales manager, we were sold. They were so accommodating from start to finish. Jill, Faby, and the entire team met and exceeded every single one of our expectations. The marriott @ burr ridge is not only an amazing location, our guests loved it, the rooms were nice and updated, affordable pricing, BEAUTIFUL and HUGE ballroom, great food, and I cannot think of one reason not to book here. If you want a stress-free wedding process at a place that you. your future spouse, and all of your guests are going to love, then look no further.

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.

We chose Remi for our wedding and couldn't be happier with how everything came together. From our first conversations through the big day, the team got back to us quickly whenever we had questions about timing or logistics. The space itself is stunning—clean lines, modern finishes, and the perfect blank canvas for our vision. During setup, the staff jumped in to help and made sure everything ran smoothly, answering every question we threw their way without hesitation. We did run into a couple of small hiccups, but honestly they were so minor compared to how well the day went overall. Celebrating with our family and friends in this beautiful space with such a supportive team behind the scenes made our wedding day truly special.
