“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Concorde Banquets in Kildeer! My daughter had her wedding here a week ago, and from the moment we started planning until the very end of the wedding, the entire team was absolutely outstanding.

From the owner, John, to every member of his staff, everyone was incredibly professional, attentive, caring, and accommodating. The food was absolutely outstanding, and the service went far beyond our expectations.

What meant the most to us was how much they genuinely cared about the bride. Wedding planning can be incredibly stressful, especially for the bride, but they were always there for my daughter, following up on every request, listening to her, working with her, and making sure she felt comfortable and happy. They treated her with such kindness and made her feel that everything was going to be okay.

They also made sure her husband was taken care of and that everything came together beautifully on their special day. Their attention to detail and commitment to making the wedding perfect truly made a difference.

A very special thank you to John and his entire staff for making my daughter and son-in-law’s wedding such a beautiful and unforgettable experience. We will always be grateful for the care, professionalism, and love you showed our family.

I would highly recommend Concorde Banquets to anyone looking for the perfect place for their wedding. You will be in wonderful hands from beginning to end! ❤”

“From the start to the very end, Doug and his crew ran a 1st Class, child and family-centric party. We were greeted at the car and Doug and his crew got out all of the party items and set everything up. Doug carefully explained how the party was going to go for my 7 y/o and 23 of his friends and relatives. Doug has an amazing way with children, keeping them having fun while staying disciplined. The Kayak carrying to the birthday cake and the sword cutting of the cake are special experiences my child is still talking about. Doug and his crew did everything, served all of the food, drinks, snacks, and cake. At the end, Doug and his crew took care of everything yet again and helped carry everything out for the day. Doug's dedication to serving others shows in every single thing he does with Hot Ground Gym. Knowing that he served our country in the Marines made the decision to choose Hot Ground Gym for my son's birthday party that much better. Thanks Doug!”

“We had my son’s 6th birthday party here. It was amazing! Sam was so wonderful to work with. From the second I drove up to the facility they were there to meet me with a cart and bring up our items. The party went seamlessly. They handled everything and it was so well structured! All the kids had a blast! Highly recommend having your party here. (Our ages ranged from 5-9 for the party if that helps! And they all thoroughly enjoyed it and were able to participate in the obstacles).

… Also— my son was THRILLED he got to cut his cake with a real sword! So cool’”

“We had such a wonderful birthday party experience at Bottle & Bottega in Arlington Heights!
The kids painted beautiful pictures, made their own slime, had pizza, and everyone had so much fun from beginning to end.
A very special thank you to Chris and Gio for making the party so fun, welcoming, and organized. They were amazing with the kids and helped make the day very special.
If you are looking for a great place to celebrate a birthday or just spend quality time with family and friends, do yourself a favor and check this place out. Highly recommended!”

“This venue is gorgeous, and the service is incredible. Bergen was an amazing coordinator for us. Great communication throughout the planning process. She always got back to us with answers to questions. On the day of our wedding she helped to make sure everything was set up impeccably. When you book this venue you are required to have the decor/floral provided by Yanni Design Studios. Keith is the designer we worked with. Keith was awesome in helping the vision I had in mind become reality. Keith and Bergen were also great at giving us advice or tips. Weddings are also very expensive and the team we worked with were very respectful of our budget and were not pushy about upselling us. We had visited other venues where we dealt with this issue. I would recommend Canvas to everyone. Many of our guests said that our event was one of the most beautiful weddings they had been to.”

“Raajan and Lakshmi selected this amazing venue for their Wedding and Reception. Everything was perfect including the venue, decorations and amenities. Janet went above and beyond our expectations and provided outstanding support to our families. She set up a separate room for my daughter’s new baby. Janet set up the room such that my daughter could watch the events and participate where she could. Our guests were extremely pleased with how everything was set up and went. The staff at Stonegate was also extremely gracious and helpful.”

“This is one of my favorite places to walk. Everyone around the park are very friendly. People wave and say hi and are very helpful if they think you may be in trouble. I had and issue with my bike once and 20+ people stopped to see if they could help. It's free for Lake County residents and I think about $5 for non- residents. Since the pandemic they have not been collecting fees. It's been free for everyone for awhile. I am not sure if this will change soon or continue to be free.

Update 7/26/26 : This is still one of my favorite walking places. However I don't visit as much as I used to as some of the birds during their mating season have had it out for me. I have been attacked from above 8-9 times over the last couple years. I used to go 4-5 times a week and now only a couple times a month because it is a little annoying. I try and go now at the end of July through the fall because it is safer for the top of my head.”

“Barrington’s White House was an absolutely stunning venue for our wedding! The beauty of the house meant very little decor was needed. Sharon, the house manager, was knowledgeable and incredibly helpful throughout the planning process. Our guests were full of compliments, and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect setting! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Had a great time at this bowling alley. The place was clean, the vibe was good, and everything was super easy. Heather was the standout—she was super helpful and just made the whole experience better without even trying. Really appreciated how chill and friendly she was.
Definitely worth stopping by, especially if Heather’s around!”

“I stopped by this cute boutique of unique jewelry, art, and other accessories today and loved it! You can find something here for everyone for any occasion. Prices are reasonable and the employees are kind and friendly. I highly recommend this hidden gem in Long Grove, IL.”

“Brother's Field is a local gem of a hang out. Jesse and Aaron are the epitome of customer service, greeting every guest, and making them feel welcome. I, as most guests, wish this was a year round venue.”

“I had my daughter's baby shower at Metropolis Ballroom this past weekend and it was everything my daughter hoped for. I worked with Lauren and Taylor J who did a phenomenal job! Lauren was so helpful with ideas for setting up the room and food suggestions. When it came to the day of the shower Taylor was right there helping and made sure everything was perfect! The food was so delicious and venue is a perfect place to hold your event. Thank you Lauren and Taylor for making this day special!! Carol B”

“What an amazing place for a birthday party. We took my daughter and a handful of friends for her 8th and it was perfect. Location is beautiful, staff is kind. Highly recommend!”

“Shelly and the team at The Birchstone helped us out at the last minute when the venue we had booked cancelled on us two months before the wedding date. We had a micro wedding of only 32 guests so I was hesitant regarding the spaces feeling too large. After visiting the site, I knew right away that it was perfect! They had two smaller spaces that accommodated our group perfectly: one for cocktails and one for the dinner. They also had an outdoor courtyard for the ceremony which was beautiful surrounded by natural greenery and vines. The ceremony space felt beautiful and private.

Shelly made everything feel so special. The food was amazing, the staff were gracious and helpful and the space itself was just perfect! It was beyond my expectations and came together in such a short period of time.

I highly recommend Shelly's work at The Birchstone with Pear Tree Catering for any special event, whether a small event like ours of 32 people or a much larger wedding. The venue had everything we needed and more. (Shelly even pulled out a pool table which was set up perfectly in the back which was a big hit with many of the guests.)”

“This golf course is hidden away in a park. There's plenty of parking and you can relax looking by the lake. Whether you want to take a stroll, sit under the covered benches, or take out a paddle boat, you'll enjoy the peace and tranquility this site offers. Great for strollers, do walking, There's also a tennis and pickle ball courts down the street.”

“I really enjoyed staying here and Vonetta was soo sweet and attentive to my needs at the front desk. She made my stay extremely great. And the days I was here, she remained the same. Always smiling, very humble and caring. 🩷”

“My wife and I recently had our wedding at Loft 21 a few weeks ago, and let me tell you, the pictures, walk throughs and planning did not do justice to how amazing the venue was.My wife and I are planners and we booked with Loft 21 a year in advance, so you can imagine we had a lot of ideas for our wedding. The planning process with Loft was good, some minor miscommunication, but feel like that will happen anywhere when you're emailing back and forth for that long. We were quickly able to jump on the phone and hash out all the plans and timeline to make everything flow perfectly.Brittni (Operation Lead) did an amazing job for our ceremony and reception and made the day of so easy for us that we did not have to do anything before the wedding, other than setting up our own props. The pre-ceremony, ceremony, cocktail hour and reception went so smoothly, it's really hard to believe. I would highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend Loft 21 to any couple looking to get married in the area.I'd also highly recommend utilizing Loft 21s preferred vendors, specifically H.Y.P.E Media as the owner of Loft also owns them so it made the Music and Production so much easier on us.They allow you to customize pretty much your own event, from lighting to set up to bar package, to pretty much anything you can think of.Thank you again Loft 21, Brittni, Jazmine and everyone else at Loft 21 for making our day so special and easy on us!”

“I find myself having to work from more co-working spaces than I'd ideally like, and I have to say that this place is my favorite by a distance. The office Clubhouse is a great space, it's well equipped and it's incredible value compared to any of the chains. Mac is personable, diligent and makes a hell of an espresso! Already looking forward to my next visit.”

“Here's a good joint to come and have a drink, nice place to have a drink and it's really clean, everybody should give it a try, drinks are not too expensive, compared to other bars. Highly recommend!!!”

“The Circus was awesome. The 2nd to last act was mindblowing. They have a lot of talent. What a shame there was hardly anyone there to watch them. I went on a Thursday night.”

“I rarely leave reviews, but Sam and his co-manager at Bowlero, they both absolutely deserves recognition’s . From the moment we walked in, they set the tone for a smooth, enjoyable night. They were friendly, patient, and incredibly professional.

When we had an issue, Sam handled it immediately and with real care. He didn’t brush anything off, he took ownership, communicated clearly, and made sure everything was fixed quickly. You don’t see that level of customer service much anymore.

Sam and his associate manager genuinely made our visit better. They checked in on us, made sure the lanes were good, and treated us like actual valued guests. You can tell they takes pride in the place and in their job.

Bowlero is lucky to have them. Because of these fine people, we’ll definitely be coming back.”

“I had my kids birthday party here. It was cool. The staff was cool. Tobe made the set up simple and was present and responsive. The bathrooms are small. The pizza was good, even though it comes from outside. Price for the party was reasonable and the music was diverse. I'll be back.”

“We had our daughter’s baby shower here. It’s a really nice venue! Lots of room, long countertop in kitchen area, nice restrooms and the building was very clean. Julie was so helpful with the reservation and Colin was so accommodating in showing us the room and making sure we had everything we needed. They have new tables and new chairs. I would book here again!”

“Great comfortable and clean experience. I would like to see a little more variety in the breakfast options. I also got woken up every morning around 6:30 by a neighboring guest letting their door slam, but that isn't the hotel's fault. Just be aware if you're very sensitive to noise. I really appreciated how comfortable the bed was and how cold the AC got. I stayed 3 nights and would stay again.”

“I was there to play bingo and the men who ran the event were so very nice, very helpful to explain the games and they all made me feel very comfortable. It was a very nice night, even though I didn't win, I had fun.”

“I rented an office here from April 23-Dec 23. The staff here is fantastic. They are very friendly and will do everything possible to make your stay hospitable and warm. No internet issues, coffee is always great and the other tenants are also pretty amazing. I will wholeheartedly recommend this place and Andres, the community manager is rockstar.”

“We held our company Christmas party at One Life Kitchen and it was wonderful. The venue was decorated perfectly for the Holidays and we enjoyed the hands on cooking while enjoying a glass of wine and appetizers. Lauren and Tammy were the perfect hosts! The entire evening went so smoothly and the food was excellent. Highly Recommend for any special occasion/event.”

“Birthday group booking. Helmets, instructions, then pure grin for twenty minutes. Book ahead on weekends; walk-ins risk waiting. Not Chicago proper but easy suburban drive.”

“We had a work event at the Hilton Garden and Kelly Jernigan and her team did an outstanding job! Our Conference room was clean and comfortable. Our daily lunches were delicious! Thank you Kelly for an outstanding experience!”

“Great for winter! staff were very friendly, Conner the cook was very helpful in remaking my sisters pizza 3 times because of how picky she is with cheese.. food was great! very clean and much to do!”
