You won't go to any other venue once you meet Claire Lind. My wedding (250+ guests) was on 7/29/2017, and there is no one better than Claire Lind to guide you. Their prices are very competitive, but our deciding factor in choosing a Venue was C...laire. From the first meeting, she sat down with us, and talked to us about our vision for our wedding, even before we knew what we wanted. Other coordinators gave us a tour, a price list, and a nice trinket. Claire gave us a VISION about our wedding based on our fledgling ideas, and she brought it to life. You can't put a price on her expertise and the execution her team brought to the table.
And I haven't even mentioned the food! The meal they crafted was personalized and delicious. It really reflected who we are as a couple. It's not just "Steak" or "Salmon," it is a dining experience. you know how they say that you don't eat at your own wedding? We ate. and I ate from my wife's plate when she changed dresses. it was THAT good. Also, the mixologist came up with drinks that captured our individual tastes perfectly after just sitting with us and getting to know us. And the dessert table? definitely a must have and a huge hit.
The biggest hiccup for the wedding was when an outside vendor delivered items to another Hyatt in Chicago. did we know about it? No, because Claire and her team took care of it.
I know I talked about Claire a lot in this review, but I can not stress how amazing she is. If you have your own ideas, she brings them to life. If you're unsure about things, she works with you and gives ideas to help you along the way.
When you look around for venues and talk to the other coordinators, ask yourself "Is this person someone I will trust with the most important day of our lives?" For us, it was Claire. If you go with her, you will never regret it.
Claire, if you ever read this, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
