If I could give them 100 stars I would! This was by far the best decision we made for our wedding. Everything was PERFECT - from the food, to the staff to the accommodations we could not have asked for a better experience. Simply the best from ...
beginning to end!
Great service!
We had our wedding (ceremony & reception) in the Burnham Ballroom at the JW Marriott and were beyond impressed with every aspect of our experience. The team was a pleasure to work with and met every request with a smile. Our guests were blown a...
way by the grandeur of the room and how the Marriott team was able to transform the space between the ceremony & reception (special thank you to the Encore team for making the room beautiful with ceiling lighting!). Chrissy was our event manager and was always available to answer any questions we had leading up to the event, and during the festivities as well. Our guests continue to rave about the food, and how quick the waiter service was - they really helped keep the event on track! On top of all of that, the hotel rooms were stunning, and the JW team accommodated our need for a bigger bridal suite. We can’t thank everyone enough for making our day so special.
Any questions?
My husband and I worked with Director of Event Planning, Ken, and we couldn't be happier. Ken was so patient and kind. We had to make major changes to our contract and reception details after COVID. Not only was Ken understanding of the situati...
on, he proposed changes to help ensure that our reception retained the feel we wanted for the party. For example, we kept our dinner in the 250 person ballroom but only had about 25 people. He proposed a long u-shaped dining arrangement that worked out perfectly. Everyone had enough space to social distance but could also all see each other. The arrangement also made great use of the space so it didn't feel like we were swimming in the grand room. It was beautiful. He also suggested that we rent out a "hospitality suite" which was right off of the ballroom. It was like we had a living room to hang out in. The guests loved it. We got to spend the weekend and after-dinner time in there. It was perfect.
Anita P, the wedding coordinator of the JW Marriot Chicago, is so kind and knowledgeable. I felt like a princess. They have amazing customer service. I would definitely book a wedding here, beautiful and budget friendly.
When looking for hotels for our wedding guests in downtown Chicago, we knew the options were almost endless. But when the search began, the place that stood out to us was the JW Marriott. From the attentiveness of our assigned coordinator, Rubi...
, to the room block manager, Austin, everything was so easy. They made sure all of our guests felt cared for with the room block custom URL that made booking hotel rooms under the block extremely quick and easy, and even went to the length to memorize the names of the parents of the bride and groom and the entire bridal party. I can not say enough wonderful things about this exquisite hotel. To my wife and I, it feels a little bit like home now. We will be staying here for all our Chicago hotel needs.
10/10 would recommend. We LOVED everything about our experience with the JW. They went above and beyond for us in every aspect. We know so many of them by name and the JW felt like a second home to us by the time our wedding day rolled aroun...

I hosted my wedding hotel block at the JW Marriott Chicago and was thrilled with how beautiful and convenient the hotel was for our guests. The lobby and bar area were a wonderful place for our guests to spend time together, and the bar/restau...
rant had great food and drinks. I was impressed by how helpful the staff was as well. I worked with Rachel to book the block and she was very easy to work with and very helpful. We agreed on a fair rate and my guests were very satisfied with the room rate based on the great location of the hotel and the high quality of the hotel. I especially loved the suite that my husband and I had. It was enormous, with gorgeous views of the city and an amazing bathroom. I would highly recommend this hotel to any Chicago bride!
I tip my hat to the amazing people at the JW Marriott. They were the only ones, during a tough weekend, that were willing and able to set up a room block for my wedding guests. When planning my Oct, 10th wedding, we didn't realize that was th...
e weekend of the Chicago Marathon! No other hotel in the city was willing to come down in price or set up a room block for that particular weekend except for them and we honestly cannot thank them enough. the rooms were beautiful and we were right down the street from our reception which was at the Berghoff restaurant. We look forward to visiting the JW Marriott again the next time we are in Chicago! :)
We had our ceremony and reception in the beautiful Burnham Ballroom at the JW Marriott Chicago. From my original sales meeting to the day of the wedding I was blown away by the incredible service and attention that the staff at JW Marriott Chic...
ago gave to us and all of our family. They went above and beyond on more than one occasion and made us feel like we were their only clients (even though I'm sure they had a lot going on).
This hotel was amazing. The hotel rooms and suites were modern, comfortable and had high end amenities such as televisions in the bathroom mirrors, over sized soaking tubs, iPod docks, etc.
The service was as amazing as the rooms - from t...

I loved how they listened to what you wanted for your special day. It was very elegant and classy.;I had my wedding in the tent on the property. The only downfall was that the due to the noise ordinance you had to turn your music off by 10:30 p...

The hotel was in the west loop, so it was a very good price for a Marriott Hotel. The Food was good and we had access to two outdoor patios, which was great. The cake was amazing!;The attitudes of the employees in the catering department stink!...
They made my planning expereince horrible. Miscommunication, unprofessionalism, and outright rudeness- where only a FEW of the issues I had. I also worked with 3 different people during the 8 months of planning- people kept leaving the company or moving around.
it was big enough for 400 people and everyone was not packed into the receptiona area. the hotel was brand-new and the hotel was beautiful. the hotle was easilt accessable.
Event manager and stuff were very friendly and helpful.
