We loved absolutely everything about having our wedding at the Marriott. The second we walked into our initial venue tour, we felt so welcomed and cared for, which had us leaving knowing this was going to be our venue. We worked with Ella, Victoria, and Faby in all different capacities and they were all so wonderful and always going above and beyond for us. Everyone was so kind and professional. Our questions were always answered so quickly, and they were always so accomodating with requests big and small, especially the last minute ones. All of the day of staff were incredible too, and the food was to die for. I can't say enough good things about our experience, and I hope to return as a wedding guest one day. Thank you for everything! Reviewed on 05-01-2024

I don't think there is enough room on this sheet for me to express the amazing wedding that I had at the Marriott Southwest at Burr Ridge. From the very first meeting at the hotel to days AFTER my wedding, everything was spot on. From Jill to Victoria and all servers at the wedding, I can't express enough how thankful I am that you made my day PERFECT. Everything was just so easy on me. The emails flowed without me waiting on answers and the line of communication was really important to me and they killed it. From the landscape to the lighting an even the temperature of the rooms, they made sure everything was what I wanted. The menu tasting was super special and so much fun. Chef even came in and made a totally different soup for us, talk about service. Victoria, the hotel wedding planner was AMAZING. She worked with my wedding planner and all my vendors on the wedding setup which was breathtaking. She stayed all night long and checked in personally with me throughout the entire night. I requested something, she made it happen. Jill, let me tell you, she is amazing too. She treated my mom and I with just grace a respect the entire time. She even reached out days after the wedding check in on me. She was professional and such a joy to work with. My wedding was the most magical night of my life, and I truly am so thankful I held it at the Marriott in Bur Ridge. Beautiful ballroom, beautiful rooms, beautiful outside for photos, just beautiful everything!! There isn't one thing I would ever change!! A million Thank Yous to everyone that played a part.

From one MOG to another...Our son had his wedding at the Burr Ridge Marriott. Since both his ceremony and reception were taking place at the hotel, my husband and I opted to host the dinner rehearsal there as well. BEST idea ever! Let me start with the convenience factor. To all you MOGS (mother-of-grooms) deliberating on dinner rehearsal venues- trust me, having dinner just a 5-minute walk away is a complete game changer.Next- the space. We were initially interested in Marriott's outdoor patio due to its charming ambiance. Unfortunately, the weather was not our friend. Our event planners, however, displayed remarkable adaptability and seamlessly transitioned us to an indoor space with a beautiful view that ended up being the perfect fit for our group.The food was another highlight. I had a bit of insider knowledge on this one as I'd previously attended a work meeting here. We opted for the Mexican buffet at the rehearsal which, from the fajitas to the churros, did not disappoint! However, what truly set our entire experience apart was the consistent above and beyond efforts from the staff. Jill, Katrina, and the entire sales/event staff were insightful, patient, and intuitive to our specific needs. They didn't just orchestrate an event; they created a cherished memory. Thank you, Marriott! Reviewed on 13-12-2023

The Burr Ridge Marriott was wonderful to work with for our wedding room block and post wedding brunch. Faby and her team made the experience easy during what is a high stress time. The team was professional, accommodating to all of our requests, and everything was handled with class. Something we loved about the venue was their willingness to have the bar stay open late the evening of our wedding for a post party. Thank you for helping make our wedding weekend the best!

We couldn't have have picked a more perfect place to get married. Our original coordinator was Ella, who was a pleasure to work with before she left, and our new coordinators Victoria and Fabiola aka Faby were amazing as well. Victoria helped us come up with our signature drink and its name, the Fall Bubbly, and Faby was also our day of coordinator who constantly checked-in to make sure we were happy and if we needed anything. Both were very professional and friendly. The entire staff including our coordinators were helpful, always ready to answer any questions we had and truly cared about us and our big day, which is a must-have trait from a venue for any couple getting married. My guests can't stop raving about the food (we recommend the Halibut because its to die for), the elegant decor (our Fall theme wedding was elegantly complimented by the gold and brown interior decor), and the amazing bartenders. While rain from the night before prevented us from doing the first look under the big willow tree, their patio overlooking the pond and willow tree was the perfect alternative location. If you pick this location, you will have a ton of location options for photos, both inside and out. Another benefit we really enjoyed was having everything all on-site. The ceremony, cocktail, and reception were in the same general area/floor of the hotel which eased the minds of our guests with mobility issues. Thank you Chicago Marriott Southwest at Burr Ridge for everything and for making our wedding day truly perfect. Reviewed on 02-11-2023

Our wedding at the Burr Ridge Marriott was pretty much perfect; so we wanted to write this review to help other couples experience what we did and as a way of saying thank you to the Marriott staff, who were amazing.Things we loved about the Burr Ridge Marriott:•\tOne convenient – and beautiful - location. Easy to get to right off of I-55, we were able to have a beautiful outdoor ceremony under a willow tree on the property (more on that later), an indoor/outdoor cocktail hour on their awesome stone patio and the reception in the ballroom, and since it’s a hotel we didn’t need to arrange any transportation. •\tThe food was excellent. We went with the grilled striploin, pecan crusted chicken, and an eggplant dish for our vegetarian option, but everything we tried during our tasting was incredible and would’ve been a good choice. One of the reasons we wanted a location in the suburbs rather than the city was that we didn’t want to have to worry about catering, and their kitchen did an amazing job.•\tHigher-end, but still affordable. We thought the Burr Ridge Marriott had the best outdoor area of anywhere we saw, at a price we could afford, and we also thought that the food and alcohol packages they offered were the best value for the money, like the 5 hour open bar.•\tAmazing, dedicated staff. Honestly, the best part of the Burr Ridge Marriott location was the way they took care of us from the moment we came to visit, especially Ella. They started going above and beyond for us at the very beginning. When we first saw the location, we thought it checked almost all our boxes, but were worried that the outdoor location on the patio might be a little narrow for our guests during the ceremony. Ella suggested that we have the ceremony elsewhere on the grounds, and found us a beautiful location under the willow tree to hold our ceremony – a location they’d considered, but never offered before. This is typical of the way we were treated throughout the planning and the wedding itself. The staff did so many wonderful things to make our day perfect, too many to list in a short review, so I’ll just say that you could tell they truly cared about how our day went and that made all the difference. We couldn’t be happier with how things turned out, and we didn’t even have a wedding planner.Things you might want to be aware of:•\tIf you’re having an outdoor ceremony, you might want to order extra chairs. •\tThe area under the willow tree does have a lot of goose poop. The Marriott cleaned it up before our ceremony so it wasn’t a problem for us.•\tWe had the bridal party exit from the stairwell for the ceremony, which is the only way to get there through the building. The walk outside is short, but some guests found it confusing. I can’t recommend the Burr Ridge Marriott highly enough, and hope this review helps another couple have the wonderful experience we did. If possible I’ll update with pictures once we get them back from our photographer. Reviewed on 02-10-2023

After 16 months of planning, we were ready to have our dream wedding on January 8th with 300+ guests. However, COVID had other plans.

However, the Marriott and all their wonderful staff did not let me down. They immediately helped with changing our date and postponing our large wedding to a few months later. Any questions/concerns/thoughts we had were always answered promptly and they were so accommodating and helpful from the very beginning.

Both Ella and Jill knew how much I wanted to get married outside and unfortunately when the day came the weather didn't cooperate. They created a backup option that was better than the original and everything went flawlessly.

Erica, Jill and Kelly... all of who were so wonderfully accommodating and more than willing to help me and my husband with anything and everything due to our chaotic schedules; Kelly even helped with finishing up some favors and putting together our escort table; she asked what I wanted and I told her my vision and she made it happen without hesitation and it turned out perfect! The servers were wonderful, especially Barb; she was there every step of the way to make sure not only us but our guests were well taken care of. It was so refreshing to work with people who are passionate in what they do; it was apparent with how they helped make our dream reception into a breathtaking reality. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was due to the hotel accommodations with room mix-ups, resulting in double charges for some guests and key cards not working, one of which was ours. It was a little frustrating due to the response of the hotel desk clerk when my husband called him to inform him of our key card not working; despite that minor glitch, everything was wonderful and I would highly recommend this venue!!!

Lisa Vaca(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-10-2018 We had our wedding reception at Chicago Marriott Southwest at Burr Ridge and could not have been happier with the accommodating, enthusiastic staff. Shoutout to Kelly for helping us host our dream reception! All of our visions were followed through on and Kelly (and the rest of the amazing staff) made everything stress free and seamless. From reaching out to our vendors to helping us pack up that night and the next day, they could not have been better to work with. I will recommend this Marriott to all of my friends looking for a place to have a wedding, considering its ideal location, excellent staff, and phenomenal food. I can’t wait to be back!

Caitrin Gruchot(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-07-2018 My husband and I had our reception at the Marriott Burr Ridge in July 2018. From the start of the planning process we knew that we wanted a hotel venue, but that Marriott was that and so much more. We looked at many other hotel ballrooms in the western suburbs, but none quite made us feel \"right\" like the Marriott did. The event staff was extraordinary. We worked with a variety of people whom frequently checked in with us to ensure we had everything we wanted / needed to make the day special. We want to especially mentioned Jill and Erica. These two women genuinely cared for my extremely Type-A personality and were sincere in doing so. All the way up to the day of the wedding we felt supported and cared for in every way. I would highly recommend the Marriott Burr Ridge for your upcoming wedding! Reviewed on 06-10-2018

We had our wedding 8/4/18 at the Marriott- ceremony and reception. Every.single.thing. about this venue is amazing! The hotel had a semi recent remodel and it’s just GORGEOUS. The staff were outstanding from beginning to end...our (very large) wedding party were so well taken care of and our 200 guests felt very comfortable and also well taken care of. Jill was our partner and I cannot say enough about her. She got “in it” with me and truly felt like a part of the wedding- she handled every small detail and made us feel 100% calm all the time. Everyone says there’s some sort of stress in the day but I have to say, we really didn’t feel anything because everything was handled end to end. I cannot say enough about the ease of this venue and the positive attitudes of the staff. There are so many places outside to take pictures too- it’s set up so great for amazing memorable lifestyle photos. Jill- we cannot thank you enough and wish we could do it all over again LOL :) Reviewed on 16-08-2018
Nidhi Shah(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-06-2018 We had our Hindu/Catholic wedding weekend here the summer of 2018. We had a pre-wedding event (Garba) with about 250 guests on Friday and our wedding and reception 370 guests on Saturday with - all at the Marriott. When we first came to tour the hotel, we had no idea what to expect - the hotel is kind of hidden and neither of us even knew there was a Marriott in Burr Ridge. But when we arrived in summer 2017 we were pleasantly surprised with the modern renovation that had recently been completed in the entire hotel. We met with Erica who was fantastic, very accommodating, and was super easy to talk to. She listened to our vision and made a custom package for our unconventional weekend that worked within our budget. The hotel had everything we wanted - one ballroom so we were the focus of the staff, a great outdoor patio, and some beautiful ponds and trails right behind the hotel to take pictures. We were really looking for a venue that had everything in one location and where we felt like the priority. We went to a lot of venues that had multiple ballrooms which felt much too hectic. Erica went on maternity leave the three months leading up to our wedding and Jill was our event coordinator. Both were great - easy to work with and very responsive to all our questions - Jill even gave me her cell phone number. It ended up that Erica was back for our event weekend which was nice!The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is because of the hotel block and hotel reservation issues we had. We repeatedly had to call the hotel to add more rooms to our block when they filled up. About 3 weeks before our room block cutoff date, some of our guest had trouble booking and the hotel stated they had no more rooms left for us. They very accommodating and quickly shifted some things around and added more rooms. My main issue was the lack of communication, they should have called us to tell us the rooms were booked up and been on top of adding more rooms to the block. We also had a lot of issues of people’s key cards (probably around 10 people) suddenly not working. In the end everything worked out but there was some unnecessary added stress.Overall our experience at the hotel was fantastic. The event staff was all amazing and we had such a memorable, perfect weekend. Jill and Erica checked in with us frequently during the events to make sure everything was the way we wanted. The hotel is beautiful, and we were so happy with how everything turned out. I would definitely recommend the Marriott Burr Ridge! Reviewed on 31-07-2018

April Gallion(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-05-2018 I was impressed with Burr Ridge Marriot from start of the process to finish. We met with Erica initially and she was amazing. Great personality, very informative. We told her what we were looking to do and she helped us achieve our goal. Day of we worked with Jill and Todd. To say the staff is amazing is an understatement. Jill sent me pictures the day before of how the room was looking and gave me her cell number for any questions or concerns. She made sure to check on me throughout the day to make sure everything was how I wanted. The food.. OMG AMAZING!! It is the best \"wedding\" food I have ever had.

Maya Tarach(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-09-2018 Having our wedding reception at the Marriott in Burr Ridge was great. Erica was incredible to work with—she was very responsive to all the questions I had during planning and she was there on the wedding day to make sure everything went well for the reception. What I loved about this space is that you’re the only wedding that takes place at this location and they have a beautiful patio area that can be used for the cocktail hour (weather permitting). It was gorgeous weather on our wedding day so guests were able to enjoy the patio for the cocktail hour. We were also able to book several conference rooms to do hair/makeup and other wedding events. The food and drinks were delicious (both at the reception and at the food tasting which was so much fun). I loved that catering was in house, it made everything so much less stressful! The service at this Marriott is great—everyone was very friendly and helpful, and they were fine with us staying late as we knew our wedding would run long into the night.

Katie O'Connell(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-09-2015 We worked with the Marriott team, Courtney and Erika, for our wedding block and brunch the morning following our wedding. Both were responsive, efficient, and easy to work with, which is definitely something that I can't say about others that we reached out to. We requested 40-50 rooms, which I know isn't a lot, but they made us feel that our business was valued and important. The only reason that I gave the value 4 stars is because the brunch was really expensive. However, it was well staffed and delicious. Overall, our guests were very happy with the hotel, the food and their stay. Thanks to Erika and Courtney! Reviewed on 29-09-2015
Jorie Ollenburger(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 19-09-2015 Booking our wedding at the Marriott Chicago Southwest at Burr Ridge was a great decision because we had the BEST wedding day! Mary Ann was so incredible to work with; she connected with all of my outside vendors to ensure that everyone was on the same page, she followed up with me on every little detail, and executed everything to perfection. From the small things like the signature drink frames at cocktail hour, to the larger details like the table linens, Mary Ann ensured that my vision was carried through. We had our ceremony and reception on site, and my (new) husband and I both enjoyed that it was such a stress-free and seamless day. We did all of our pictures on the property too (so many awesome photo opportunities!) and even had our own spaces to dress and get ready. The customer service at the Marriott is amazing; the staff was so accommodating and friendly, and everyone really worked hard to ensure we had the best day possible. Our guests loved the food (as did we!) and the cocktails were expertly made. Late night snack and sweets table were both a hit, and we kept hearing over and over how wonderful the evening was.

The tasting with our parents was a nice touch, as well. \r\rThe hotel was clean and I received no complaints from our guests about accommodations (we had about 40 guests book rooms). They handed out our guest bags with out much problem--we heard that some folks may have gotten a bag that were NOT part of our wedding, but we made extras, so it was ok.\r\rJust a note, the hospitality suite (which is huge!) has no windows, so brides, if you're having your make-up done, make sure to leave time to run to a different room if you need natural light. \r Reviewed on 18-08-2014

He was so kind and knowledgeable about weddings and the long process that precedes the big day. He was very organized, and gave us good advice on vendors, and how to set things up. He was very reasonable when it came to pricing because half of my wedding guests didn't drink. He was always available by phone or email and would get back to you in a matter of minutes. When it came to taste testing and linens, I changed my mind plenty and he did not have any problems with that. he encouraged me to come back in and look through the books of fabric to get the perfect look for my wedding. On the day of, everything was executed perfectly. It was truly wonderful seeing how all my ideas transformed to real life.

With about six months to go before the big day, she took a job at another hotel. We were really worried because we felt like she understood exactly what we wanted. The new coordinator that the hotel hired was named Hemant. He took meeting after meeting with me, was incredibly patient and made sure that my husband and I had the best night ever.

alexis tolman(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-01-1970 I was married at the Marriott Burr Ridge on August 11, 2012. We had a little over 300 guests and I think that all of my guests would agree it was a beautiful and spectacular wedding. The entire staff at the Marriott ensured that we had a wedding that went off with out a hitch. The package that is included is a huge costs savings for any bride that is looking to stick to her budget. The package includes the cake, chair covers and ties, huge selection of entrees and appetizers as well as a great bar package. We selected the duet plate for our guest with beef tenderloin and chicken picata and both looked and tasted great. We were a little unsure on where to take pictures after the ceremony since we didn't have enough time to go downtown and back and our contact at the hotel suggested we use the outside area surrounding the hotel, our pictures turned out amazing! There is a beautiful little pond and bridge perfect for romantic pictures. The best part about the whole night for me was the champagne parade the staff performed to kick off our reception. It set the tone for the rest of the night. At the end of the night no one had to get in a car and go anywhere, everyone just hopped in the elevator and went on up to their room. To end the night we had a great treat in our room waiting for us from the Marriott team. I would highly recommend the Marriott Burr Ridge to any bride looking in the Chicago suburbs; the Marriott is a hidden gem. They transformed their huge ballroom into the room of my dreams and my husband and I couldn't have asked for a better night. Reviewed on 30-08-2012

Jennifer Bettin(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-09-2011 There are many things to look for when you begin your search for the perfect venue for your wedding reception - price/package, location, service, quality and overall feel. After deciding that we wanted our reception at a hotel, we spent time visiting several hotels in the area and comparing different wedding packages to find the best fit. As soon as we met with the wedding coordinator at the Marriott in Burr Ridge, we immediately knew it was the perfect place for our reception for 200 guests. Since the hotel only has one wedding a night, the staff is completely focused on you and making sure everything is perfect. The hotel also has a nice outdoor patio, which can be used for cocktail hour as well as beautiful grounds for picture taking. Their wedding package also included more options for a better price in comparison to some of the other hotels we looked at.
