“I have had the pleasure of working with Terry at Brittane's Event Center in Gurnee, Illinois on two occasions. Immediately I found her to be professional and an experienced event planner. She went above and beyond of me. She, her team, and event center have earned my 5 star rating.”
“Attended a winter concert inside the Martin theatre and it was a wonderful experience. We had seats in row N and we were able to see the performance perfectly. Greeters/ushers were friendly and helpful. I would definitely attend another winter concert at Ravinia.”

“Beautiful little park, wonderful trails for running, walking, biking. Sandy beach area with fire pits. Fantastic beer garden next to the water. I don't think I've ever seen a place with all this before.”
“I attended an art show for the Chicago Pastel Painters Society at The Art Center. It was beautifully presented, with the art in various rooms, allowing the crowd to mingle and flow. The lighting was excellent for the paintings, and the staff was very accomodating. Overall an excellent venue for an art show!”

“We utilized The Forester for a large (20+) corporate workshop and the experience was excellent - rooms were set up with necessary A/V needs, and they had onsite help for the hiccups. The rooms were equipped with refreshments and natural light, making the day feel fresh. Thanks to the hosting team for making our experience impactful!”
“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!”
“My kids and I crashed the grounds of WYC to take photos for my sons Navy Graduation (10/15/2021). It was the most beautiful backdrop to our new Sailor saluting! We were greeted by Bo who graciously invited us in for a beer. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, we were unable to come in...But we appreciate the offer, congratulations and hope to be back someday when we are in town again. Thank you for having us! You made Louis's Graduation extra special!”
“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!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Exceptional Experience at The Birchstone!
I recently hosted a Hanukkah holiday party at Birchstone for approximately 70 guests, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about the experience.
From the moment the event began, my guests were raving about everything — the beautiful room, the delicious hors d’oeuvres, the fabulous buffet, and the incredible dessert table. The highlight for many was the soft-serve ice cream sundae station, which was such a fun and memorable touch.
Shelly, the owner, truly went above and beyond in every possible way. She anticipated my needs before I even had to ask and handled every detail with care, creativity, and professionalism. One of the most breathtaking elements was a Hanukkah menorah she designed and suspended from the ceiling using beautiful pearl roping — it was absolutely stunning and made the space feel magical and meaningful.
The food was outstanding. The staff was attentive, warm, and seamless throughout the evening. Everything — and I truly mean everything — was absolutely perfect.
If you are looking for an event venue where the owner and staff genuinely care about creating a flawless, unforgettable experience, Birchstone is it. I could not recommend it more highly.
This is my second event that Pear Tree Catering has done for me. I didn't think Shelly and her staff could outdo what they did for me for my Garden party, But she certainly raised the bar!”
“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!!!”

“We held our annual company party at Bowlero in Waukegan again this year, and once again they did a fantastic job hosting our group. The experience was excellent from start to finish. General Manager Kim Ocasio was on top of every detail, and when we requested a few last-minute extras, she delivered on every one. Outstanding work by Kim and the entire staff. On behalf of everyone at Quality Hydraulics, Thank You! We will definitely be back!”
“Perfect space for up to 80 people. Omar was very accommodating. We through my grandma a 70th birthday party and the space was so conveniently located 15 minutes from her house. Perfect space to get your creative juices flowing you can do so much with the space.”
“I brought some friends, and we had an incredible experience. The food was outstanding — especially the tacos and enchiladas, which were packed with flavor and cooked perfectly.
Maria’s Live Star has the perfect mix of great food, friendly service, and a fun atmosphere. Can’t wait to come 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!”
“I had my wedding at Encore in June and it was such a beautiful night and a wonderful experience working with the Encore team. They take time and care in your event and really work to ensure you are getting everything you want. I was able to speak to the chef to ask questions about the menu and had some specific asks, which they accommodated. They are a great value, especially in an industry where costs can easily get out of hand. they worked with me and made adjustments as needed throughout the almost 2 years from when I signed the contract to my event. The venue is beautiful! I had the Rose room which was perfect for my 75 person wedding. We used the outside gazebo for the ceremony and took pictures on the beautiful golf course. The food was outstanding! All of my guests complimented the food, with some saying it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding! I would happily have another event at Encore. They really were a dream to work with and made planning a large event so easy. Highly recommend if you are looking for a wedding venue!”
“Such a tremendous wedding venue in the Chicagoland area. The Armour House has a European Old World grandeur that is unmatched. We might as well have been in Italy all day long! I was so impressed and had so much fun playing on the grounds. It's elegant and romantic with plenty of outdoor and indoor spaces for photos. Can't say enough positive things about this stunning wedding venue!

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My name is Charrie and I own Luxcharrie Events. I have to say—Lakehurst Banquets is truly one of the most beautiful, well-organized, and well-maintained venues I’ve ever stepped into. The space is absolutely stunning, and their event packages are top-tier.
This is exactly what an event hall should be! I can't wait to host an event here myself after seeing it firsthand. Even though I was only there to do a setup for a client and not the actual renter, the staff was so pleasant and accommodating. They allowed me to complete my work with ease, and I was blown away by the service and professionalism.
I’m definitely recommending this venue to everyone I know. If you’re looking for a space that’s elegant, organized, and professionally run—book it! You won’t be disappointed.

“Our daughter loves her team and coach. If your child is ready to go beyond park district soccer this is the club for you. Being a private club expect to pay and volunteer. But, we've watch our child grow rapidly in the few months she's been there.”
“My 11 yo daughter has gone here for five years, starting with rec classes and moved into the XCEL teams, and absolutely love it. She looks forward to practice, and the open gyms, and loves her coaches. She says they are really nice, and she enjoys being there so much.”

“I give 10 stars for service. We went for naval graduation. The girl at the front desk was beyond helpful the whole time. I’m pretty sure her name was Jamie. She got us set up with a shuttle so we could get to and from base cheaply and FAST. Anything we asked, she was knowledgeable and quick to answer. She is literally an all star and made our trip sooo enjoyable and amazing. I’ve never had service like this before. Also, a huge shoutout to George. He was amazing fixing the hot tub for us when the warmer went to sleep and bringing us supplies when requested. Literally 50/10!”

“One of the standout features a drop off area and a good amount of parking, which made it incredibly convenient to access. The rink itself is not only well-maintained but also spotlessly clean, providing a pristine environment for ice skating enthusiasts. What truly sets this place apart is the picturesque drive to the rink; the scenic route leading to it adds a touch of beauty and serenity to the overall experience. Whether you're a seasoned skater or a novice looking for a fun outing, this ice rink with its parking convenience, cleanliness, and scenic drive is an absolute gem that I highly recommend.”
“Service oriented always there to help the citizens and answer all questions. The clients are aware ofWhat is going on. The City can handle it. A resident of 42 years. I look forward to my next 42”

“We hosted a joined birthday for my husband and close friend’s 40th birthday with Petergof. I was so impressed with how Tanya handled every detail of our event to make it a perfect evening. We had 25 kids ranging from babies to 16 and everyone had an amazing time. All of the staff were so nice, helpful, and professional. I look forward to having future events here.”
“I had the opportunity to visit this Bowlero location for a company holiday Christmas party and had a very nice time! The staff was very pleasant and accommodating, even going the extra mile to ensure there was something available for my dietary needs.
Unfortunately there are no pinball tables here, but I was able to play my best round of giant Pac-Man, adding my name to to scoreboard (boo yeah!)!”
