We had our wedding ceremony and reception at the Medinah Shrine Center on January 8, 2022. It could not have been a better experience! Joanna was very responsive and able to answer...
all of our questions and help guide us through the planning. The hall has been recently renovated and the lobby now has beautiful dark wood flooring instead of carpet. The inside of the hall also now has a beige/neutral color scheme so we were able to decorate with our wedding colors and have them really pop. The food was excellent and we had a tough time choosing our entrees because there were so many great choices. We also chose to have a late-night hot dog cart at our reception that was provided by Medinah and it was such a hit! The bar staff was great and we received many compliments from our guests about the food, the service, and the look of the venue. I would recommend Medinah for weddings, quinces, parties, and luncheons/brunches.
My husband and I had our reception here in October and could not have asked for a better place! Everything was set up perfect and how we imagined. Joanna was great at making sure e...
verything was going to plan and that all our needs were met. She was very accommodating to our needs throughout the whole process. The staff was excellent! All our guest raved about the food and how beautiful the place was. I didn't have to worry about anything that night except for having a good time! If your still looking, look not further this is the place that you need to have your wedding!
We had such a wonderful experience with Medinah Banquets... we had our reception there for our May 11th wedding and my parents, my husband, and I have nothing but terrific things t...
o say about Medinah Banquets! Cyrille was the main coordinator for our reception and he was so accommodating with every request and wish. We did not have to worry about a thing the day of and leading up to the event, he was very responsive. "Your wish is my command" should be their slogan because they truly made us feel like they could accomplish anything for us on this special occasion! Also, the large space was really perfect for our 350 guests.
Everyone should get married here! All of the people that work there and that help you plan your day are extremely friendly and are extremely helpful.. You get a lot in your wedding...
packages and it is very reasonable. They do not rip people off like other banquet halls tried to when I spoke with them. The banquet hall is BEAUTIFUL, the food is AMAZING, they are understanding when it comes to payments and they are AMAZING OVERALL!!!
We held our ceremony and reception at the shrine center, it was great just perfect, the location is beautiful, garden areas also beautiful,(great for pictures)The staff was very he...
lpful, the only thing I would say to improve on, is keeping everyone on the same page, when we picked our date we originally went with a Saturday. We then found out, its cheaper to have it on a friday, so we changed dates. When it came time to choose the meal though, it seemed the station buffet would suit our needs better, then found out we wouldn't receive the discount. Big bummer! The day of the wedding I kept losing my flowers, I had them on one of the halls carts right outside of my bridal suite, except every time I needed them, I had to track them down, which as a bride can cause alot of chaos and on your wedding... well you'd rather not worry about trying to find your flowers all day long. The food was delicious, the staff very helpful, and as I said before very beautiful. I would definetly, recommend this venue. Also, there is a hotel in the same parking lot,so convient.
My husband and I hosted our wedding here through the Old town wedding chapel.
The price is unbeatable, they provide the officiant, the docorations, set up and vocalist for $500! ...
The bride and groom have the space reserved for 2 hours. They have a judge or a minister who are able to preform the ceremony so you can be married by a minister or judge, which i think is nice. Most churches want more than what the old town wedding chapel wants.
The mister was friendly and hosted an outstanding wedding ceremony.
We received rave reviews from so many of our guests proclaiming the food to be the best wedding meal ever. Being original Chicagoans, quality food was top priority for me and my ...
