0 people and the dinner service was perfectly on time and everyone’s meals were correct and hot. Working with Tammy eased any wedding planning stress. She is so helpful and truly wants to make you happy and make your dream wedding come true. We had a few curveballs when wedding planning and Tammy was so quick with solutions and problem solving. I really can’t say anything bad about Drury Lane. It’s a beautiful space with incredible service!

does. We were told by our guests that our wedding was the best they’ve ever been to and no doubt in mind Drury Lane was a huge reason for that. The food was fantastic, the room was beautiful, wait staff and bartenders were second to none. Highly recommend Drury Lane for any events especially your wedding reception.

nue itself was stunning, and the service was exceptional. Our guests raved about the atmosphere and the unforgettable memories made. Highly recommend!” Amer

worked with Megan Carroll-Zizzo on planning things out and she was so helpful. All our requests were met with hard work from Megan and the end result was a perfect experience at the venue. One of the key selling points was that there are plenty of great spots to take pictures, especially with a winter wedding. The cost came in less than we had budgeted, but you would never know based on the overall experience. I would highly recommend Drury Lane

area. The Crystal Room 100% fit the vibe and theme of our wedding. They were very accommodating with us bringing in our own centerpieces and worked well with our other vendors. The food was great not your typical "banquet food" by far and the presentation was beautiful. Where they missed the mark just a little was the execution of after dinner service and "clean up". As the bride and groom if we did not have a wedding planner we feel we may not have gotten the attention we did, she checked in more than the servers. Maybe the banquet staff felt they could leave some tasks to her? Guests mentioned they felt rushed after dinner, with drinks including water being taken away any time they stepped away from the table to dance or go to the bathroom. They then would need to go to the bar for another. We had ordered the nacho bar that came out around 10:30. Later when some raved about this others reported it was not refilled and they did not get any. We know by 11:00pm several of our guest had left so I am unsure how there was not enough for the ones that were there when the amount was based on our final count. We chose to end the DJ early because the crowd was thinning but then felt rushed to leave to room when we had it until 12:00. With the after bar area reserved starting at 12:00 some of our guests were left roaming in main the lobby until the bar lights came on at 12:00. It was an awkward 20 minutes or so. When the bar opened up we did fill the space with 30-40 guests who stayed almost the whole extra 2 hours. So that was worth the extra amount spent on the deposit. Overall we had a great time, and a good experience. Our guests are still talking about the beautiful reception and great food. Megan even helped after the event with an issue we had at the hotel we stayed at as part of the package. We would hold another event there and would recommend it to others.

s able to answer and very prompt to get back to us through email or phone call. The food at Drury Lane is delicious and the wait staff was fabulous. The set up of our wedding was beautiful and staff was very helpful in assisting us gather our belongings at the end of the night as well. I would highly recommend Drury Lane for anyone looking for a wedding reception venue in the Oakbrook area!

as a delight. Her commitment to excellence and attention to details is commendable. We looked at 7 other venues and chose Drury lane because of the ambience, location, easy access and the amenities it provided. Tammy B was an absolute delight to work with and went beyond our expectations. The food was excellent and everything went flawless from start to finish. Tammy was more than willing to accommodate all our special needs . I have referred several of my friends to Drury lane. Thank you Tammy for all you have done. It was the most pleasant experience! Jacob M

ntion to details is second to none. Guests kept praising how good the food was and how beautiful the venue is , we had the crystal ballroom and enjoyed every second of it . Tammy is super accommodating and flexible . She isnt pushing you to upgrade or spend but there to make sure things go according to your plans . Highly reccomended !!!!!!!!!!!!

ack! Working with Megan was a pleasure! Megan was responsive, organized, and professional! She answered all our questions and the wedding day went so smoothly! We would definitely recommend Drury Lane to anyone!!

hroughout the entire process. The reception venue was gorgeous, all the food options were fantastic, and everything was timely. We had zero complaints ourselves or from any of our guests. We can not think of anything that went even slightly wrong during our wedding reception thanks to Tammy and the entire Drury Lane staff.

the perfect fit. I first visited with my parents and we were all SOLD instantly! Not to mention, I worked with Megan throughout the duration, and she was so professional, patient, and helpful with our 10000 questions. She helped me through every step of the way. ALSO, if Megan was not available, all of the girls in the office were ready to step in and help. A true class act of professionals all around. All of our guests could not stop talking about how amazing the food was, and of course how stunning and classy the venue is. My new husband and I wish we could plan another wedding! (lol). I wish I could leave 100 stars. Do not hesitate to book this venue! You will be taken care of, and your guests will talk about this event for many years to come! THANK YOU Megan and Staff!!! <3

n't take long. He fell in love during our first visit). Tammy and the rest of the staff and Drury Lane are AMAZING. I can't rave about them enough. Leading up the wedding they were supportive, helpful, and just all around wonderful. During our wedding day, Tammy helped us organize everything. The wait staff was outstanding. No one ever had an empty plate or cup. I wish we could get married every weekend! We had such a blast. Drury Lane is stunning, affordable, and absolutely perfect!

had a lot of great advice for us. (I always felt bad for emailing her a bunch of silly questions, but she always answered them.) All of the event staff are very nice, but major props to Megan for helping us basically make our wedding a success in 6 months. All of our food was fantastic (so so so many compliments on everything and how everyone basically cleaned their plates). Seriously, I almost wish I could have had more food on our menu. We held our reception in the Crystal Room, and it looked gorgeous! In fact, if you decide to get married here in December, the entire building is beautifully decorated for the holidays. (We were also kindly let in to one of the rooms for some pictures that I can't wait to see.) Seriously though, everything was handled wonderfully, the staff were great, and I couldn't be happier for how everything turned out. I can't recommend them enough and I'm excited for our 1 Year Anniversary brunch in the future!

e information it was a dream come true that this was in our budget. It’s such a beautiful and elegant place our photos will be gorgeous! Tammy and her team did a wonderful job creating everything I needed. I hope the next brides enjoy and love this place as much as we did

much they loved the food and how beautiful the room was. It was wonderful and everything was handled perfectly.

ree because of her expertise. Also the venue is breathtaking!!!!! and the service staff were absolutely wonderful. and All our guests could not stop raving about the delicious food. we are so grateful. it all still seems like a dream

r special day really really special. One example of their staff is Brandon, the Director of Events. From start to finish, he was amazing and his staff who he worked with was amazing. I could not recall all the names but I am thankful for making that day special. Brandon is Professional, responsive, efficient, and flexible .Brandon communicated well with all the vendors and everyone involved with the wedding arrangements and he made it so seamless and simple taking stress out of everyone. We had a fantastic event at Drury Lane. Thank you Brandon and his team to make our day very special.

cor is just too stunning. Also the food is amazing, we had so many good comments on it. highly recommend doing the peach melba for desert :) My wedding was the second large party we did with Drury lane so we really trust them to do it right!

help things go smooth as possible. I would recommend to ANY brides out there!

Director of Events. From start to finish, he was amazing. Professional, responsive, efficient, and flexible enough to adapt to the most extreme conditions of trying to plan our wedding during a global pandemic! With the continuously changing rules and guidelines, Brandon made sure to let us know what we could and could not do, and always offered helpful ideas and suggestions. Coordination leading up to the event was excellent, but execution on the night was world class. It made our whole wedding celebration that much better as I did not have to worry or fuss over anything. Brandon, the banquet manager and our servers on the night made sure to take care of everything. We had a fantastic wedding at Drury Lane and will recommend to anyone looking for an elegant and glam indoor location.

ch would need to accommodate 500 guests. But no matter where we looked, we couldn’t find a place that offered the elegance that we wanted more than anything. The venue itself is stunning, without any additional decor. With its pillars and chandeliers and even greenery. Not only was it EXTREMELY affordable, but every single step of the process was done seamlessly with the help of their wedding coordinators, Tammy and Kara. Kara was moving away and so she would no longer be with Drury Lane, so she introduced us to Tammy! Tammy and the rest of the staff at Drury Lane helped make our wedding a DREAM. Tammy was communicative from the start, responding promptly to e-mails and calls, providing thoughtful suggestions, and offering advice. She has done this many times, so she knows all the ins and outs. She coordinated the location of the table arrangements, the DJ, gift table, and the dessert table. She helped all of my vendors including the decorator, DJ, and caterers around the space, so we showed up to the venue that was perfectly set up. She coordinated with the bar staff (opening and closing the bars), opening and closing doors during all of our entrances, moving people out of the hall and into the venue when the events were about to start. I loved not having anything to worry about on the day of. Would highly recommend this venue. We had the best day ever!

dding reception. When we were looking for a venue for our wedding reception, we noticed many places wanted us to fit our wedding to their space. That was not the case with Drury Lane; Drury Lane’s goal was to make their space the perfect fit for our wedding. Throughout the process of planning our reception, Brandon and the staff at Drury Lane worked together with us to transform our ideas into concrete plans. The communication and support we received from Drury Lane’s staff made planning a wedding reception so much easier than I could have ever imagined. From the food tasting, the choosing of linens, the collaboration with our vendors, and the planning of all our special details, Drury Lane went above and beyond to help us create our wedding vision. On the day of the wedding, we walked in and we were blown away to see how the Crystal Room had been transformed into the most unique and stunning reception space. I had a handful of ideas I wanted included in our wedding reception and they made each of them happen. From the hot chocolate bar, to the grand piano for the band to play, to the special Caesar salad delivered especially to the groom, each detail had been executed perfectly. We are so grateful for all Drury Lane did to make memories on our wedding day that will last a lifetime!

inator, Megan was simply the best! Anything we needed she was always ready and available, not to mention extremely kind and personable! The decor of the lobby and our ballroom was picture perfect!! The night was amazing! The food was delicious and the service was wonderful! In fact, we got so many compliments on how good our food was! Drury Lane is also an amazing venue because you have two hotels right next door and free parking! It was truly a fairytale night and we couldn't have picked a better place to ring in the year! Simply the best!

ng and did everything she possibly could have to make our vision come to life. Christina was approachable, personable, and receptive. She always answered our questions in a timely manner and always professional. She did an awesome job at making us feel important and had our best interest in mind. Christina became more than our coordinator. She was so involved in our vision, that by the end of it all, I felt like I had gained a friend. She made the whole experience very personal. Her recommendations from her personal experience were all great with five star reviews themselves. I actually ended up using a Pianist she had recommended during our cocktail hour. When we walked into our reception for the first time, I cried. It was perfect. The food was also fantastic, our guests are still talking about it! The hospitality from staff was wonderful. I do not have any regrets with our decision and if I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change one thing. I would highly recommend Drury Lane and to work with Christina, of course. I can't imagine planning our wedding without Christina. Bride to Bride, you will not regret it!

al. We didn’t want to end up in a cookie cutter hotel ballroom. But no matter where we looked, we couldn’t find a place that offered the elegance that we wanted more than anything. That is, until we visited Drury Lane. The minute we walked into the Crystal Room our eyes met and I knew we were in agreement, we had found our venue. The entire process was relatively seamless. The coordinator we were originally assigned left Drury Lane, and it ended up being a godsend! Christina was assigned our new coordinator and she became our right hand lady. No matter how many emails we sent her, or weird questions we asked, or details we threw her way, she met the challenge. And trust me, it was no easy feat, she literally went above and beyond. She listened to every single thing and made sure what we saw on our big day was exactly what we wanted. Even Megan, one of the other coordinators, was exceptionally kind and helpful when I showed up to drop off items for the reception. She grabbed carts and helped me to haul stuff in, with a smile on her face and nothing but congratulations! When we arrived on the day of, the venue was gorgeous and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. Maria, who not only served us for our tasting, but was also our server the night of our wedding, is the kindest, most attentive and thoughtful woman I’ve ever met. She went the extra mile to make sure everything was taken care of and that we felt like a king and queen! The food was good - but there was a significant difference in the taste and quality compared to the tasting. But we knew that is to be expected when cooking for 100 vs cooking for 2. And a word of advise to future brides and grooms - always hand deliver your payments! We sent a payment via FedEx with tracking, and although FedEx shows it got delivered, we were told it was never received. So less than a week out we had to scramble to get a new check cut and get it there. All in all, with the complimentary valet and coat check, two options for hotels in the same parking lot, the beautiful ballrooms, and the amazing staff, you truly can’t go wrong with booking your wedding at Drury Lane!

st experience. Our coordinator was Tammy Blachuciak, and we could not have been more impressed with her. Tammy was very professional, responsive, and accommodating throughout the entire planning process. Her years of experience working in the industry are evident as she always had a calm demeanor while still executing flawlessly with her staff on everything we requested. The food at our wedding reception blew us away, and we received so many compliments from guests on how much they enjoyed the dinner. We could not be happier with our experience and cannot recommend Drury Lane enough!

eryone from my party is still talking about food and venue. Our party was perfect. I mean perfect. Christine was so great she not only felt like coordinator. She was like a best friend. Drury lane was the first time I ever met her. She was great. And a amazing asset to the Drury lane in Oakbrook. Thank you Drury lane for making such memorable event.

l suggestions, and offering advice. She was pleasant and sharp! She helped all of my vendors including the florist, DJ, and photo booth, around the space, so we showed up to a room that was perfectly set up and ready to party. I loved not having anything to worry about on the day of. The space itself (my husband and I used the Crystal Room) was stunning and required truly minimal decorations - a huge plus, as we were on a pretty tight budget. The food was wonderful, as was the service by the catering staff. They were all kind and attentive. Also impressive was the chef's attention to detail. Out of an almost 130-person wedding, we had four guests with very serious food allergies. The chef created a custom menu for each guest and was even able to provide it for us in advance. Overall, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Drury Lane. Planning was minimally stressful since the pricing includes so much. And if you can, definitely work with Megan! She was truly a rockstar.

over those 18 months was so simple and straightforward. We were looking for a venue that was beautiful on its own, pretty much all-inclusive, and reasonably priced and Drury Lane ticked all those boxes. Also, the food was DELICIOUS! Seriously, its a month later and people are still telling me how it was probably the food they'd had at a wedding (shout out to the champagne sorbet). So much parking, plus complimentary valet, hotels on-site (plus a complimentary hotel room), easy to get to from the city and just all that old-Hollywood glam. We worked with Ruth, Lesley, and Tammy and each of them was incredibly helpful and so nice. It was so easy to arrange our tasting, pick a menu, discuss linens, arrange a rehearsal, etc. I can't recommend highly enough! *copied to multiple review sites*

From my first interaction reaching out to inquire about dates and pricing, I was surprised by how responsive and flexible everyone was, especially compared to experiences I had with other venues at the beginning of our planning process. My then fiancé and I toured Drury Lane on December 28th, 2018 and had it booked for our wedding date, October 5th, 2019 within one week because Tammy knew I was going out of the country for two weeks and worked extremely hard to work with me on the contract in such a short time frame. Having a wedding with 325 guests takes a lot of coordination and time and Tammy helped me with all of my random questions, last minute changes, and pointing out things that I hadn't even thought of. She was very flexible with meeting me at Drury Lane, even staying late to accommodate my drive in from the city. She even worked with my other vendors directly so that I wasn't stressing out right before the wedding. We had our wedding reception in the Oak and Brook ballrooms. It is hard to even describe how gorgeous and elegant Drury Lane is. From the beautiful entrance and foyer to the huge mirrors and stunning chandeliers in the ballroom, it is simply the most beautiful wedding venue I have ever been to. On top of that, the food is amazing! All of our guests were raving about how delicious the food was. The serving staff was great about getting all of the food out efficiently but also taking the time to make sure guests were done with each course before taking it away. As this was my wedding, I know that I am probably biased in saying this was the best wedding I have ever been to, but ALL of my guests said the same thing and I know this would not have been the case if not for Tammy and Drury Lane. Tammy truly cared about our wedding and making it as perfect as can be, you can tell that it is not just a job for her. I cannot recommend Drury Lane enough!

ed Drury Lane that previous summer. Tammy worked with us the entire time and was so great. She was very quick to respond to any questions via email or phone that we might of had, no matter how small or silly they were. She met with us several times just to make sure she knew exactly what our vision was for our day. Tammy also wrote down that I (bride) was gluten and dairy free, and the food brought out to me was things that I could eat. Not many places would go that above and beyond for a complicated diet. The day of our wedding, everything went very smoothly. Tammy and others checked in with us throughout the night to ask if we needed anything, ask how food was and ask how the night was going. Tammy was helpful in making sure things were on time as well as helping with my dress when we couldn’t figure out how to bustle it. Our guests had nothing but great things to say about the day and the food! I would definitely recommend Drury Lane to any couple getting married.

e friendly and accommodating at every turn. My guests had a great time, and brunch the next morning was the cherry on top of a perfect wedding. Would absolutely recommend! We’ve received so many compliments about our special day.

words! Ruth and Tammy did an amazing job guiding us and listening to all our needs! The food was absolutely amazing all my guests loved it! The bar service was super fast! The staff was all so sweet and helpful. When walking into Drury Lane the enormous chandeliers grab your attention, the elegance, and the stunning style is just breathtaking. It really is a one of a kind venue! A+++++ Excellent Service! I highly recommend booking any event here!

the decor for the theater was so beautiful, it was an added bonus as we got married around the holidays. I would also like to point out the service during our reception. I have family members who have food allergies, and I had informed our server, they went above and beyond to ensure that everything was perfect for my family and that there would be no issues. It was service that made such a positive impression that I had family members talking about it a few months later! If I had to host any events I would choose Drury Lane again. Thank you for making everything so perfect!
