Reviewed On 1/11/2022 by Lauren M
We held our wedding at Chandlers in November 2021 and absolutely loved it! Migdalia was our wedding planner and she made sure every detail was perfect. I called, a lot, and she never made me feel like I was bugging her and always listened to my...
concerns. We were so thankful to have her help us along the way. The food was also delicious and our guests are still talking about it. We did family style so everyone could try a little of everything and it worked out really well. I can't recommend Chandler's enough!
Reviewed On 12/15/2021 by Mel K
I have never once went online to write a bad review, but to save anyone the headache of this venue I am. The only reason I gave 2 stars was because it is a beautiful venue for a reasonable price. The food is also very good. That being said, I ...
didn't understand the importance of the wedding coordinator until having the pleasure of working with Migdalia. She is very difficult to work with and quite unprofessional. If you want to work with someone who answers emails and gets you the information necessary to plan your wedding, this is not the place to go. I have lost count of how many emails I sent that were never responded to. I asked for months to get a copy of our event order and did not receive it until a month before our wedding, at which point it was a little late if changes needed to be made. I wish I could upload a photo of what our head table looked like. The tablecloth was pulled out of the bag it was in, and had large square wrinkles where it had been folded. Numerous guests mentioned the eyesore in all of my first dance and cake cutting photos, I truly don't know how anyone could have set that up thinking it was acceptable. I ordered colored napkins for the tables, and they were the wrong color on the day of the wedding. One of my guests was missing a chair and ended up sitting at a table without his wife. When I reached out to Migdalia about all of this after the wedding, again my emails were left with no response. It wasn't until I hounded her that I finally got a refund for the table clothes that I paid for. Icing on the cake, when the check came in the mail, the card was not from Migdalia but her assistant. Every venue photo was ruined with a table cloth that looked like I pulled it out of a mattress bag, and the gesture to make this right was a $25 gift card... and an apology from someone we have never worked with.

Wow! Chandler’s is just absolutely stunning and the Augusta Ballroom is and feels like a huge space due to the high vaulted ceilings and large windows that look out to a beautiful fountain! They also have an outdoor area for wedding guests to...
relax which was perfect for our Sept. 2021 wedding! The outdoor area lights up at night, includes a gazebo, and has outdoor seating! It’s definitely a breath of fresh air compared to the other traditional banquet halls. They also provide a ton of food which is perfect if you come from an Italian family like myself! I received so many great compliments about the food, especially the sirloin of beef and the cake (which is included in your package). The entire hall is clean, they have numerous bathroom stalls for guests, and even a separate bridal room with a huge bathroom just for the bride (nice perk)! Migdalia was amazing to us and helped us throughout the entire process. We made some last minute changes and she was attentive and flexible with our needs. She works hard to ensure you and your guests have the best time ever and we definitely agree that she did just that! We highly, highly, highly recommend Chandler’s for any of your banquet event needs!

Chandlers is a very beautiful venue however I was extremely disappointed in all of the staff. Needless to say, Migdalia and the rest of the crew really upset me over and over again on what was supposed to be the best day of my life. I was promi...
sed many things that were not given to me, Migdalia “lost” the print-out of the table setup and had the nerve to ask every person in my bridal party if they could figure out how to set it up rather than going up to her office to re-print the email (which she printed right in front of us 2 days earlier), she tried to change up the ceremony an hour beforehand telling my mom that she didn’t think I should walk down the aisle and instead should walk around (we then had to personally move the chairs ourselves to create an aisle), we paid for the included premium liquor and the bartenders refused to give out half the liquor that was promised on the contract, they cleaned up the centerpieces and other decorations 2 hours early, they took our guests’ party favors off their tables, and so much more. I could go on forever. Very disappointed in the service we received the day of the wedding and it is really unfortunate that I have this to look back on when I think of my special day.

Disclaimer: My husband and I planned our wedding all throughout the Pandemic (May 2020-April 2021). Chandler's was the best decision we could have made for the venue on our day. We knew however big or small it was able to be, this was the place...
. First, the space is top of the line exquisite. We wanted an elegant, classic, fancy feel for our wedding day and Chandler's Ballroom was everything we could have imagined and more. The high ceilings and exposed white brick gave it that "juj" we envisioned! All of our guests RAVED about how GOOD the food was and how great the service was, as well! From the first moment we stepped foot in Chandler's and met Migdalia we felt like we were working with family. Even though I know this woman had to be balancing a million other events on-top of rescheduling all the ones that were cancelled due to COVID, Migdalia treated us like we were the most important wedding she was planning. She was in constant communication with me throughout our planning process, laid out a very comprehensive timelines for detail meetings, food tasting, cake tasting, vendor partners they've worked with, etc. She was always easy to get a hold of, replied to emails promptly, and if she didn't have the answer to something, she went to get it and got back to us in a very timely manner. This place runs like a WELL oiled machine. Everything about their customer service is friendly, accommodating and exceeds expectations. I can't be more grateful to Migdalia and her team. They took care of everything! From tables/linens/chairs/cocktail hour/late night snack/drinks, you name it! The most impressive piece to me was when I dropped off all reception decorations to Migdalia the Wednesday before the wedding. They took care of setting everything up. At that point I felt like I could breathe and enjoy the next couple days with friends and family before the big day. Again, customer service is top notch. She made us feel so important which is exactly how every bride and groom deserves to feel as they plan their special celebration and most importantly, on their wedding day!!

d around 175 guests which fit comfortably in the Augusta Ballroom (we rented out the entire wing). The outdoor patio is really pretty, but our guests still fit comfortably inside since we had a colder fall day. We also had our ceremony at Chandler's and it looked really nice! Note, for indoor ceremonies the pre-set dinner tables are in the room (on the sides) for the ceremony since they need to flip the room quickly during cocktail hour. We did most of our planning with Gineane before she left Chandler's, but Migdalia picked it up right where we left off. Migdalia, Jose, and their team were great the day of and made sure we were taken care of. Overall, we had a great time and really enjoyed working with Chandler's!

I had high hopes for Chandlers, but was extremely disappointed. On the day of my sister’s bridal shower they had another large event going on and no one from the event staff was on hand to help us. We made multiple trips up the stairs with heav...
y boxes before we were able to locate a cart and elevator. Furthermore, because of the number of events that they had booked that day, there was insufficient parking for our guests. Several guests reported driving around in circles looking for parking and one ended up parking across the street and had to cross Roselle Road with her heavy package. Once our guests got into the building they had difficulty finding the room as it was listed in tiny print on a TV screen and no one from Chandlers was on hand to direct people to the appropriate event spaces, so I missed the first 20 minutes of my sister’s shower because I was in the lobby helping guests find their way around. Our food was pretty good, but it came out 25 minutes late. However, the absolute worst part about Chandlers is the way they conduct business. They lure you in with a relatively inexpensive plate cost, then they charge you an 18% “event fee”, for event setup and “administration” costs. However, none of that 18% goes to the service staff that does the actual setup, which is only made clear if you read all the fine print (I clearly should have done a better job of that). They say you don’t have to tip the wait staff because they are “well compensated”, but really, who doesn’t tip the wait staff? So in the end I ended up paying close to 35% in “fees” and tips even though no one from the event staff bothered to show up for my event. When I complained to management about paying an 18% event fee for an absent event staff in addition to my tip, they gave me a half-hearted apology and offered to refund my tip money (i.e. take away the money from the hard-working waitress). No wonder they have a “D-“ rating with the Better Business Bureau. I guess I should have done my homework before I booked, but I wanted to write this review so others don’t make the same mistake I did.

d us there would be flowers in May. There were beautiful flowers outside on our wedding day. The reception was everything we imagined it to be. It was big enough and had a really inviting dance floor. The layout of this venue really encouraged our guest to get up dance! The staff at Chandlers are INCREDIBLE. We couldn't have done this without all of Gineanes help and guidance. You will be working with the most caring, creative person who makes your dream come true. The service provided was outstanding. They were so incredibly accommodating and really made you feel like anything you wanted was possible. The communication was outstanding. They really make you feel at ease the day of wedding. I will honestly admit there wasn't a thing I was worried about on our wedding day because I trusted Gineane and her team at Chandlers that they will do everything to make sure this day was perfect. And they did. Her and her team make you feel like you and your fiance are the most important people. They really do a good job reminding you that your wedding day is about you and to not worry because they have everything in control. We had 200 guest at our wedding and they were complimenting Chandlers so much. Our guest still talk about how good the food was here and would say "that was the best wedding food I ever had". They compliment the timely and kind service and how organized everything was. They truly did an amazing job taking care of our guest. I highly recommend this venue.

I never have been at a wedding where guests stayed on the dance floor the entire time. The manager that evening was wonderful. He ensured that everything ran smoothly and was always nearby to see if we needed anything. He and his staff worked quickly to pack everything up and take things to our car. The staff made it so easy for us, after a late evening. Most importantly, you did such a tremendous job at answering all of our questions so quickly and providing all of the details before the wedding began. I loved how "on task" you were with everything. You were the absolute "best." We are so grateful that you were our wedding coordinator. Thank you ever so much!

ooked at a wide variety of options -- from cheap to the expensive ones. Chandler's was the most reasonably priced venue without any compromise in quality. We have communicated and connected with other venues, but we never felt the security and trust that we felt with Chandler's right from the start. Gineane was on top of everything. She knew all the details, and that made me feel so comfortable and less stressed. Every time we looked at our potential great venues, we always looked back on Chandler's, and said to each other that "maybe it'd be as good as Chandler's, but Gineane is still missing in the equation". On the week of the wedding, Gineane was very understanding and was always willing to work with me, as I had not completed and brought all of the stuff that I needed to give her on our last meeting prior to the wedding. She made everything possible in the most convenient way. She made sure to see us even minutes before the reception started, just to make sure that everything was fine, as I was going to make a slight change in the seating arrangement. She even helped me with my dress. I received a lot of compliments from families and friends that it was the best wedding they have attended. The food was great, the place was spectacular, the table arrangements and decorations were excellent. The servers were very attentive. The event manager assigned to us that night was awesome. He stayed till everyone left. He made sure that we did not forget anything important. Chandler's was the best decision I've ever made regarding the wedding, besides getting married in a church. We also used most of their recommended vendors, and they also turned out to be the best!

A few of her comments even felt prejudicial. We tried to power through the tour and be respectful of her time (one of us had to be respectful) but it was a big waste of time. The longer the tour went on, we truly began to feel as if she intentionally treated us this way because she didn't want our business. Gineane is the SOLE reason we decided to book elsewhere. Luckily for us, her distasteful behavior led us to a find a beautiful venue with great people to work with.

9/15/2017 Wedding day went sooo much better than I thought it would. Dealt with Gineane, who in all honesty, is the main reason we chose to have our wedding at Chandlers, Schaumburg golf course. Just talking to Gineane for 2 min I felt like sh...
e was a family friend. The bonus was the view that came with chandlers and the gorgeous gazebo to get married under, if not done in a church. Of course nothing can ever go perfect and there are always hiccups but honestly I didn't even worry about it because of Gineane. Didn't even no anything happened or went wrong until after the wedding and by then it didn't even matter cause it was over and done with and no one even noticed. The room was set up beautifully and just more than i could have imagined. You don't really notice anything when you are the bride and groom because so much is going on, but being shown pictures of my room and how it was decorated, at 1st I was thinking wow that room is so pretty thats what we should have done not realizing it was actually MY room. We also got the best surprise of our life because originally we had booked the upstairs pebble room, smaller in size but i was only having about 150 people coming so the room size was perfect. About 2 months before the wedding when you are just completely drained and in panic mode we went to one of our last final appointments. Right before our appointment ended Gineane told us she had a little surprise for us. There was an event that had booked one of the smaller size downstairs rooms but the party was growing in size and she asked if we wouldnt mind moving our wedding party downstairs to the Augusta Grand Ballroom no additional charge. Originally that was the room I really wanted but with the amount of people I was having there was no point in spending the extra $. It was just amazing that they offered that room to us. The food was absolutely amazing. We had the chandlers mixed grill which was grilled chicken and a sirloin steak with garlic mashed potatoes and garlic broccoli. Came with soup fresh rolls and salad. SOOOO many people complimented me on the food and how they have been to many many weddings and this was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. The cake was included in the package and seriously WOW. ordered it from the baking institute and not even Gineane could believe that he cake i had was actually included. Not only was it absolutely gorgeous it was delicious as well. Before Gineane saw The cake she asked if we had a cake topper and I told her no. She did not look to thrilled that I said no topper because really that pulls the cake together. After she saw the cake she then came up to me and said she understands why I'd didnt want a topper. The amount of detail on the cake would have been washed out if there was a topper. The bartenders were great and took such good care of my bridal party. Like really good care of them. The DJ we got is the one recommended by chandlers and just gets added to your bill. Had Marty as my DJ from America's Best DJ and their company name did not let us down. By far best DJ i have ever seen. Also got their photobooth as well which was amazing. So many props came with it and really had the best clarity when printing out the pictures. DJs either make or break a wedding. At all times there were crowds of ppl on the dance floor. Not once was the dance floor ever left with less than 40 people on it. Just perfect. Everything

lling in from our guests. We planned our wedding within 6months and from San Diego. A challenging feat to embark on, but Gineane is the best. Fun hidden fact, not only do you get the space and amazing food, you get Gineane. She is a wedding planning Goddess! She makes sure that every aspect of the wedding will be perfect for every single individual and covers the bases you didn't know needed to be covered. Because of Chicago weather, we chose to do an indoor wedding, and had nothing but amazing reviews. We had our ceremony and reception in the main ballroom (rooms A and B) and around 150 guests. We somehow still were adding on items to meet are already low food and beverage minimum. So we were able to make sure our guests had a great time before, during the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, reception and beyond! The room has built in lighting and there is additional lighting that you can add on to truly make your room look magnificent and change the ambience from ceremony to reception. Chandler's is also on a golf course which work out amazingly for the Bride and Groom to sneak away for some post-ceremony photos on the golf course! They are also centrally located within a mile of hotels. We had our block at the Wingate which provided a free shuttle to and from Chandler's, and right next door (literally feet away) is a Country Inn. The ladies prepped there (where there is a stunning stairwell for first look pictures and patio also great for first look) and the guys got ready at the Wingate (so the bride wouldn't be seen by any guests naturally). There are great photo locations in the area. They partner with America's Best DJ and Marty is amazing. Thank you for everything Chandler's, Gineane, Marty and everyone who has written great reviews about Chandler's they are a hidden gem and nothing short of top notch!

annoyed at the fact we could not take pictures on the golf course unless you pay a $500 fee (you get $250 back) and only the bride and groom can go, we didn't even bother with that. Our ceremony was beautiful and the weather was amazing. I didn't care for the fact we had to walk next to our guests versus down a middle aisle. The pebble beach room was also beautiful a little tight but it was fine. The food was good but not as good as our tasting (filet and chicken), but I'd have to say better than most wedding food. Also at the end of the night you had to take all your belonging with you, not come back the next day... Mind you we didn't have a car and we were staying at a hotel, luckily we had a family member take everything that night.

is wonderful. HOWEVER, the service was terrible and UNACCEPTABLE. Chandler's screw up over 6 things written in our contract. The patio was not ready for our guests for cocktail hour due to another wedding, and it caused the schedule to get pushed back and our guests did not receive dinner until 9 pm. There was an entire list of things that went wrong. Nobody was in charge the night of the wedding and it stressed us out. They did not set out our candy buffet, they lost our glass cylinder centerpieces after the wedding. The list goes on and on. We were very dissatisfied. When I sent a letter with all the issues that they didn't fulfill in the contract, they said they would get back to me and never did. I'm still following up 3 weeks later to understand why it was so disorganized after we went over everything and I provided a very organized detailed list that they ASSURED me would be done. I cannot recommend Chandler's to any bride. There is no wedding coordinator the night of the wedding. The Coordinator you work with throughout the process is not present the night of the wedding which causes chaos and disorganization for the guests and bride/groom. They took away my mom's plate while she was visiting tables, they forgot to play our video montage which we paid $250 extra for, they gave my glass centerpieces to my florist after the wedding and they were 'lost', they were not equipped to serve 230 guests and everyone at at 9/9:30 pm.

asonable! The pain points started as we got closer to the wedding. We had our tasting two months before the wedding and we brought both our moms (4 people). We were given two entree choices (with sides) and we had to split the two entrees between the 4 of us (not really what I was expecting). Also, the tasting was not private (several other couples were there too) and we were not able to have any questions about the menu answered. When we did ask a question or make a comment, we were told "that will be ironed out in your final contract". Two days before the wedding I went to Chandlers to drop off all my items for the reception. We were supposed to be able to have cocktail hour on their beautiful patio that is connected to the ballroom and overlooks the golf course. I made mention of the cocktail hour and Kathy said oh there is a wedding going on out there at 5:30 (our cocktail hour started at 6) but they will have it all cleaned up before. Needless to say while the wedding was over by 6 the space was not cleared and our cocktail hour had to be held in our reception space. There were also positives about the reception. everyone raved about the food, the chocolate fountain and commented on how beautiful the venue was. The room was warm when dancing started but the waitstaff was very responsive when we asked them to turn up the air conditioning. Overall, I would cautiously recommend Chandlers to other brides. The price is wonderful if you are looking for a beautiful venue with great food but it does come with pitfalls. If you are high maintenance, stressed about every detail,or want to be treated like royalty, this may not be the right venue. The staff has a more laid back approach and made it more of a self-service experience rather than feeling like we were being catered to.

We were promised use of the back terrace, and the doors remained locked the whole night so no one could go out there. After the wedding, our contact at Chandler's said that she had told us we wouldn't be able to use it because of construction, she did not. Another problem, which was a big one, so I'm happy I didn't know about it until after, was that the air conditioning in the hall was out. My day-of coordinator, amazing idea by the way, got the the hall an hour before everyone else did, and it was 85 degrees inside. It did not get fixed until 8:30, thank God, right before dancing.

She made everything more difficult than it had to be, from answering her phone calls (which she didn't) to the actual day of the wedding when she forced us to more mid-family portraits. She placed a hold on my parents credit card twice, and as a result final payment had to be done in cash. The food was excellent, everyone raved about the chocolate fountain and they did a great job setting up the room. My wedding was the only one set up on time, my cake was correct when a previous wedding was not, but they broke down the room before the end of the wedding.

When we got there we had the option to be taken out on the golf course for pictures, but since we went somewhere for pics we opted out of this. For the cocktail hour we had the option of the foyer or the whole banquet room and since the outside is beautiful we used the whole hall. We had a lot of hors d'oeuves that were delicious but my favorites were the mini egg rolls and the cucumber cups filled with oriental sesame chicken. For dinner we started with soup, there were so many options but we went with the cream of chicken soup,not really traditional but so good! Then we had a house salad. For our entrees we had Chandler's Mixed Grill which was a Sirloin steak with Mushroom-bordelaise sauce and Grilled Herb Chicken Breast. They were both delicious and the chicken was so moist. It was great! We also had broccoli and Mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes we so good! There are so many options it was great. They also gave us the option for gluten free meals and vegetarian meals. All the food however was great. My Bridal party pretty much cleaned their plates! A wedding cake was included in the package. We could have gone to the bakery for a tasting but we didn't. We choose a design out of the book for the cake and it turned out beautiful! It tasted great too. We did a marble with a vanilla custard filling. My husband and I are both not really cake eaters but it was delicious. Intercontinental Bakery did a great job with it. For desert, in our package we got a chocolate fountain and fruit comes with it. also everyone got cookies and cream ice cream. So good. We supplied the dessert/ sweet table, other wise they have great options. Our service was great there! They were so attentive to me and my husband. They also adjusted the table because my cousins daughters wanted to with at the head with us. The only thing I wish they had, but didn't really affect my night too much, was a bathroom in the bridal suite. There was one next to it, but its technically available to anyone who goes down stairs. At the end of the night they returned everything to us back in the boxes and cleaned. "Just like new" is what they told us ;) In the end everything was totally worth the money we paid. We got such a great deal I am forever grateful Chandler's was suggested to us. I would repeat my wedding there in a heartbeat.

The outdoor ceremony location was set up very nicely. The food was great and the bakery they work with made us a wonderful cake. After your ceremony you are able to take golf carts on to the Schuamburg Golf Course in order to get the best backdrop for photos. Definitely a perk!

dn't meet our minimum, we were able to spend the rest of our few thousands of dollars on FOOD through them...which, by the way, their food is AMAZING!!! We now have TONS of meet, lobsters, and chicken....all frozen in our freezer. We are set for parties and dinners at our home for a WHILE!! The only negative thing was that at the end, I felt quite rushed to get out of there, as people were starting to take things down before midnight. :( And the guy, Jose (I think that was his name), was kinda rude and pushy for me to take all of my vases (center pieces) home with me that night. Umm...I was the bride, and had already told them I would get them all in a few days. He was quite adamant that I take them home with me right them and there. I told them...I didn't have a vehicle, and my mom's vehicle was already filled with stuff. Needless to say, we did not take the vases home with us (or our props from the photo booth), and picked them up on Sunday. Oh---I was also not happy that I was told that there would be our appetizers (from the cocktail hour) waiting for us on the head table, and there was not. I had to request this...and...we only were given 3 out of the 7 items we had at our cocktail hour. :( I heard they were ALL amazing, but I really only got to eat shrimp (very good and beautiful the way it was set up), cucumber thing (the only thing I would not recommend), and california sushi rolls. I was really looking forward to eating them, and was not able to. :( Oh--Not sure if this usually happens or not...but I thought it was strange the way they served the guests---not everything came out at the same time, as I thought it would. People who ordered steak, got their steaks first...then fish...then chicken. The patio is very nice for people tohang out at. The pictures where you can have you and your significant other go to...are so pretty! (Make sure you have a good photographer though!!) Have your DJ announce if you have a midnight snack and/or chocolate fountaint/desserts in the back of the room. Mine did not...and some people didn't ever know about the choc. fountain. :(

n into what our entire family (and friends) described to be the best wedding they had been to in years, if not ever! The prices are very reasonable for the area and you get a LOT for your money. This place was a one-stop shop for us. We were able to have our ceremony there, book our DJ through them (who also did the music for our ceremony), and they ordered our cake on our behalf. We didn't have to deal with multiple vendors and contracts, and the worry of making sure that everyone had what they needed and would deliver on time, etc. Their service was impeccable (from the waiters/waitresses to the GM of the golf course) and the property/scenery is beautiful. If you're looking to have a wedding at a golf course for a reasonable price, I highly recommend this place!

wn the aisle! The only problem we ran into was that our ceremony location had been double booked. We booked it way before the other couple but they had more guests so we took backseat to them.

We had the chicken and filet (was good at the tasting and magnificant at the wedding). A majority of the family has allergies or special requests and the staff here was very helpful and cautious to make sure that there would be not problems.. We appreciate that 100%!!! Better to be safe then have a food allergy. The grand ballroom is where out reception was held, but all rooms in this facilty are very very nice. (The ballroom was not our choice but we ended up with it) however, would have been very happy with what we originally book! If you are considering a wedding (we had a sunday wedding) definately stop by and give this place a chance. We are so glad we did- It was a fairytale.
