The Chicago Marriott Oak Brook made all of our wedding dreams come true. We picked the Marriott as our reception venue because we were planning a large wedding and because we had a lot of out of town guests and wanted the parking and hotel stay to be easy and convenient for people driving into town. Our event manager was Megan Noldan, and she definitely went above and beyond the call of duty. As an out-of-town bride, she was very accommodating so that I could make the most of my trips to the Chicago area, even when I made last minute changes regarding the tasting. I dropped a lot of decorations off the week of the wedding, and everything looked absolutely beautiful on the day of. Walking into the ballroom definitely took my breath away. We got so many compliments about the food, the drink, the décor, and the overall organization of the wedding, and I have Megan and the Marriott staff to thank for that! Megan even asked the staff to move the leftover floral centerpieces into the room where we were having brunch the next morning, which was a lovely touch. I would definitely recommend considering the Chicago Marriott Oak Brook if you are looking to have a large wedding reception that is convenient for your guests, with good food and extremely organized staff.

We had our reception at the Oak Brook Marriott. They did an amazing job creating exactly what we had imagined. The décor that they put together for us was perfect. We worked with Daneel and she was extremely helpful through the whole planning process. The food was absolutely delicious and exactly like the tasting we had. The service was exceptional during the reception and people are still raving about the venue, food, and service 3 weeks after our wedding :)

I used the Marriott for my room block for my wedding since it was so close to my venue. Everything with planning went super smooth and great - until the weekend of my wedding. I ...

had family from out of town coming a day early before the special wedding price took effect. They would not honor the price even though they were staying multiple nights. They were told to call closer to the day and maybe they would honor it if they weren't booked up. There were still rooms left over (i know this because I asked myself when they weren't having luck). I spoke with my event manager and they said to call them but this was 10 min before they were due to leave for the day and I didnt get the email until an hour later. My number is on file so I wish I was called. My family ended up having to book another hotel. Also - I had set up way in advance to have a shuttle run from 11:45 til midnight. Most of our guests ended up driving so we only needed 1 shuttle. Right as the shuttle showed up we were playing the final song and one of my bridesmaids went and told the shuttle "We are just finishing the final song we will all be on right after" This was a very short song - not like he would be waiting 10 minutes..more like 3. He rudely told my bridemaid "I guess youll have to uber then". This is unacceptable when we thought there would be multiple shuttles and there was only 1 and it was not a long wait at all. Lastly My brother had called to ask if we can book an area of the bar for the after party and they said they will not do that because they cannot guarantee they will stay open if nobody is at the bar..even though we just said a bunch of us were coming over. We ended up just having to have a mini after party in the lobby with a cooler. Its a beautiful hotel but the pre-planning went way smoother than the actual event. Sort of a bummer.

I’ve researched several venues before choosing the Marriott in Oak Brook, and I felt like this hotel offered a good balance between quality and price. At first glance: Althoug...

h the exterior looks fairly old, the interior of the hotel is surprisingly modern. The lobby has a decent sized sitting area with a few TVs, and there is a Starbucks attached as well. I was actually really surprised at how spacious and beautiful the ballroom was compared to the exterior of the hotel. Service: Our sales manager was wonderful. She was very negotiable on the cost per plate and included several complimentary additions to our wedding package. Our event manager and I got off to a rocky start at the beginning. She didn’t respond to our emails or messages in a timely manner, and we were told months after the signed contract that there was another event taking place in our ballroom right before our wedding. Even though we were upset that we had to revise the timing of our wedding day, we were able to move past this conflict, and her level of service improved drastically after our confrontation. As our wedding day approached, we felt that she was always there to answer our questions, very accommodating, and understanding. The Wedding: The service provided by the hotel before and on our wedding day was flawless. Our event manager was there during our rehearsal to gain an understanding of how our ceremony will run. She always made sure that I had everything I needed and constantly checked up on me to make sure I wasn’t overwhelmed or too stressed. The food was much better than other the food I’ve had at other weddings, and so many of my guests have agreed. The procession of events, vendor setup, and ballroom turnover was seamless. Everything flowed so smoothly, and we were extremely happy with how it all turned out. I would definitely recommend the Marriott as a wedding venue, especially if you’re looking for a good balance between cost and quality of the hotel.

or me. The ballroom was recently redone and updated. It is a grand space. We used one section of the ballroom as a trendy cocktail hour with high boys and low tables and the stunning candle-lit bars with signature martinis. Then the staff held a grand reveal by opening the sliding doors to the rest of the ballroom which was set for our wedding reception. The lighting, pipe and drape, GOBO spotlight and small details were breathtaking. We also received several compliments on the food and service. Heather at the Marriott was very attentive to any requests or needs I wanted from 9 months out to the week before. It was great working with someone who loves weddings and wants each of her weddings to be unique and special. Overall a beautiful space with beautiful service. Email me if you are interested in seeing pictures of the room set. Happy wedding planning!
