Hyatt Lodge Oak Brook Chicago

had the pleasure of staying at the Hyatt as well. This could not have been more perfect. The bridal party had so much fun getting ready in the provided meeting room while the groom’s party got ready in a suite. The set up for the ceremony was seamless and we had a beautiful day. There were also so many little things that the Hyatt did that made our wedding day special. It also helped that the food tasted amazing! We LOVED having the late night cheeseburgers passed out on a platter around the dancefloor. None of our guests can stop talking about it and it made the whole experience super unique. Everyone from the check in staff to the maintenance crew were wonderful. Our bartenders, Anthony and Dan were super friendly and kept the party going. Our personal server, Barb, was constantly ensuring my husband and my needs were met and even brought out a platter of appetizers while we were taking pictures on the grounds during cocktail hour. Cheryl, our banquet manager, did a fantastic job of working with our planner to solve any last minute hiccups without adding any additional stress on my husband or me. Prior to our wedding, planning with the Hyatt was also really easy. Lynsey, our assistant did a great job of ironing out details with our planner and made sure we had a great tasting experience. The platform Hyatt uses for payments was uncomplicated it was effortless to negotiate our contract with the Hyatt and get last minute things added to our final order. The overall cost was also very reasonable for all of the services that the Hyatt provided. I could not have asked for a better wedding experience, everything was just so beautiful and perfect!

nd presentation was exactly how we wanted it!!! i'm still living on a high from how lovely our special day way

le times, the Hyatt was extremely friendly and accommodating in helping us find a new date in 2021. We were one of the few lucky couples in this sense. Even though the Hyatt team underwent several staffing changes between our initial communication in 2019 and our wedding day in 2021, they remained professional and communicative. Everything ran extremely smoothly on our wedding day. We could not be more grateful to the team at the Hyatt Lodge!

ide on the terrace, and the reception in the Grand Oak Pavillion. We loved the setting outside for the ceremony, and the reception was beautiful with the lighting on the trees we could see from the room. The food, wine, and bar were all very good and our guests loved the venue. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that there was a lot of turnover between when we booked the venue and when we had the wedding. This led to some frustrating communciations between us, our planner, and Hyatt, and a few minor things didn't go as planned on the day of. Nothing major, and we got refunded for the mistakes, but wanted to call that out. Overall, we loved our experience at Hyatt and would recommend!

beautiful rooms you get to pick from, from a wide variety of food. The services they offered were amazing. If I could do it all over again, I would pick the same place. Thank you Lynsey for endless emails back and forth. Cheryl, for the day of the wedding, you were amazing in every way!

r wine service was very timely. We received many compliments on how good the food was. We chose the filet mignon and sea bass. People who chose beef loved it, but the real stand out was how good the fish was. Our upgraded bar was a big hit. We loved having the ceremony and cocktail hour outside. The ceremony location was beautiful overlooking the water. Swans even swam by right as we were saying our vows. The event staff was really what made the Hyatt stand out. Everyone went above and beyond to make sure we had what we needed and that everyone had a good time and enjoyed themselves. An extra special touch was when my husband and I were brought champagne glasses and hors d'oeuvres right after the ceremony, because the staff knew we would be busy and would not have time to eat or stop by the bar. Everything about the day was magical!

manager, was incredibly responsive via email and ready to meet whenever we needed it. It is reasonably priced and worth every penny. There are options for all types of wedding (wooded, water front, indoors). We were all able to stay on site and got a beautiful discounted suite for the bridal suite. Our wedding would not have been the same if we didn't have it at the Hyatt Lodge 10000/10 recommend.

nning process stress free. It is a beautiful property, set further back with incredible landscaping, flowers and lake (the lake even has swans!). A great setting for a wedding. We had our wedding reception in Prairie ballroom, which was very spacious and had a great view of the lake. The food was delicious and our wedding guests raved about it. Most of them stayed at the hotel too, which they found convenient. If you are looking for a wedding venue, I would highly recommend you check the Hyatt Lodge out (and ask for Jimmy!)

more than 5 stars. Jimmy was on top of everything which was so comforting since I am an out of state bride. This place was my dream venue and I wish 2020 worked out differently, but I am thankful for the experience of working with Jimmy and the Hyatt Oak Brook. I would recommend them to anyone and am hopeful to attend a wedding here someday to see what the day could have been.

as! Cheryl was the captain day of and she was so sweet from the moment I met her! Rest assured that this team will do everything they can to make sure you have the wedding of your dreams! The Grand Oaks Pavilion was the perfect spot for my wedding and it turned out to be magical and all I could hope for! Food was delicious as well as my fab cake! I would recommend them a thousand times over!!!

e COVID protocol). The ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception were impeccable! Cheryl and Sally were extremely attentive and a pleasure. The bartender Dan kept everyone happy mixing great drinks all night! We had the absolute best wedding day and that was by far thanks to the staff. Specifically, the planning and communication of each detail with Jimmy Viscomi, our venue coordinator, was fantastic!

make our wedding exactly what we wanted. The food on our wedding day was incredible, as were all of the services throughout the night. I could choose this venue 100+ more times if I could. It is 100% worth the price; they did ALL of the work and made the process entirely stress free. Love this venue and all of the people that work there!

lion to host our event (the room with all the windows). We looked at venues all over the Chicago suburb area but this ballroom was easily the most beautiful out of everything we saw and it really brought my vision of an outdoor wedding to life without the complications of actually having an outdoor wedding. We worked with Jimmy and he was suer helpful and accommodating throughout the whole process. A couple months before our wedding Jimmy let us know that he may not be available on our date because he was having a baby, and so the final week before our wedding we had to work with someone else. I was a little nervous, especially since that final week is the most important in the planning process but to our luck, the girl stepping in for Jimmy was amazing! She really took care of our every request and especially on the wedding day she went above and beyond. I did not have to worry about a single thing. The food was excellent as well, our guests loved their dinner. The only thing I would warn couples about is to stay away from Lezza Spumoni bakery, which is the bakery the hotel works with for the wedding cakes. If you get your cake from elsewhere they will charge you a dollar per slice, but it may be worth it. Our cake tasted great, but it arrived with some cracks in the icing. I asked for a very clean and simple design for our three-tier cake because my florist was going to go ahead and decorate the cake with fresh flowers. If it weren't for my excellent florist (Lavender Fields Flowers & Decor, call her!!) I would have been very upset. A cracked wedding cake would have been a total disaster!!! Otherwise, the Hyatt Lodge was lovely and we got amazing photos! Check it out, the grounds and the ballroom will win you over!

anquet hall and the Prairie Ballroom is just that. The floor to ceiling windows surrounded by lush green made the space feel very unique. Sigita and Megan were helpful during the planning and offered advice and suggestions with choosing our menu and the layout of our reception. The day of the entire staff was so lovely. Megan greeted us when we arrived and offered us a private space where apps and drinks were brought and we could have a quiet moment. It offered me a chance to bustle my dress and do touch ups as well. We were well taken care off all night with the staff checking if we wanted another drink and making sure we got to try the apps. We chef even brought out meal out to us personally. All the guest loved the food and commended on how beautiful the space was. Highly recommend!

nd it was perfect. The Grand Oaks Pavilion is such a beautiful room with the floor to ceiling windows. EVERY single staff member in the hotel was INCREDIBLE!! I couldn't believe how formal and professional the staff was during our reception. They were so attentive to everyone's need. Cheryl, the banquet head, and the waiting staff made sure we had our own hors d'oeuvres during cocktail hour and made sure the bride and groom were comfortable during dinner and continuously checked on us. The food was OUTSTANDING, especially the prime rib! The McDonald Hamburgers for a late night snack are a must! They were delicious and were a hit with the guests! Sigita and Megan were very helpful with the planning process when living out of state! Couldn’t be happier! Thank you for making our day so special <3

he was fantastic. She personally made sure that everything ran smoothly. I can't say enough positive things about this venue and event team. Judith was also fantastic--in charge of the banquets that day. I felt like I was working with family. Everyone was very friendly and highly professional. Book here with confidence and set any worry aside. It will be amazing and your guests will be impressed.

t spaces are absolutely beautiful! We had our ceremony and reception in the Prairie Ballroom because our guest count didn't fit in the other one, but we loved being in Prairie. Everything was so beautiful! It's hard to even put into words how happy we were with everything. Jimmy was so wonderful to work with throughout the whole time! We also loved working with our banquet captain Kelly for our tasting and on the day of. We did have a slight hiccup with the hotel block and some lack of communication when there was a personnel change with our reservation coordinator. Jimmy was understanding of our frustrations though and worked with us to resolve everything. Everything went smoothly the day of and Jimmy was so great at dealing with our overly involved parents (all four of them). Of course the venue is beautiful, but having Jimmy as our coordinator there was everything! We would recommend working with Hyatt Lodge just for him!

all its greenery and architecture- our wedding last minute had to be moved indoors because of weather nonetheless it was PERFECT. Tricia herself is amazing. She is so efficient, responds immediately to every concern and finds a solution to everything. The food tasted great. Planning a wedding has been 100% transparent and just so fun honestly. The ENTIRE staff is so pleasant and kind as well. Im going to miss them all !

ng for our reception with its lighting and floor-length windows. Everyone was professional and helpful on our wedding day. Our guests had so many positive things to say about this venue!

ooking for a place that takes the stress out of wedding planning this is your place. I can't say thank you enough to Sigita and her team for making my wedding day beyond special.

servers during the wedding, bartenders, and reception captain -Kelly. EVERYONE was incredible!!!! They all exceeded our expectations and will definitely recommend all brides to look into this place to have a beautiful wedding. They made sure I was taken care of in the morning getting ready, timely on absolutely all wedding planning throughout the day, delivered a platter of food for us, made sure the bride and groom were eating or satisfied with our dinner, and let the bride soak in all of her decorations before guests were seated for the ceremony/reception. They definitely made this experience unforgettable and an AMAZING wedding for us! Thank you SO much! 💗

patient and honest. Leslie took the time to answer all my questions and helped my vision come alive. During our wedding weekend the entire Hyatt staff was accommodating and went above and beyond to make our special day beyond memorable.

ls/calls, accommodating, and always friendly. There are so many decisions to be made and it's clear that Sigita knows her stuff! She was incredibly helpful offering advice and suggestions based on her experience. The day of the wedding, everything went off without a hitch! Since we used the Prairie Ballroom, we had our cocktail hour in the lobby just outside the ballroom. The space was perfect – plenty of space for guests to mingle and beautiful views of the changing trees. During the cocktail hour, my husband and I had a server that made a point to seek us out to ensure we were able to get some appetizers. Also, our captain for the night made sure we always had something to drink – there was no way we could have gone hungry or thirsty! Every person on the staff was SO friendly and professional. Several guests mentioned what a nice touch it was when they entered the ballroom. The wait staff was lined up on the dance floor smiling at all our guests, which made everyone feel very welcome. The food was incredible and we received many compliments and comments that it was the best wedding food they have ever had! Also, we had a handful of guests with very strict dietary needs and the Hyatt Lodge was able to provide a delicious meal for each of them. Actually, some of the other guests at those tables wanted one of the “special request” meals because they looked so good! Everything flowed seamlessly and on-time from cocktail hour, to dinner, to dessert, to dancing. Later in the evening, we had cheeseburgers and milkshake shooters for our guests, which were a HUGE hit! As the evening began to wind down, the staff did an excellent job of starting to pack table decorations up without making anyone feel rushed. I have been to other weddings where the staff is frantically packing things up and then waiting in anticipation of everyone leaving. This was NOT the case at the Hyatt Lodge! Overall, we felt so welcome and taken care of which just added to the evening. On top of being an incredible venue inside, the grounds of the Hyatt Lodge are equally great! We got some stunning pictures near the pond/lake and back in the “wooded” sections! I have seen the grounds during each season and I think it’s safe to say there are great photo opportunities no matter the season! We are thrilled with how the evening went and are so happy we chose the Hyatt Lodge for our wedding reception. The entire experience from start to finish was great and everything turned out better than we imagined! We would whole-heartedly recommend the Hyatt Lodge to anyone who is on the hunt for a wedding venue! Thank you to everyone at the Hyatt Lodge for such a great evening!!!
