We hosted our wedding at The Hyatt Lodge and had a great experience! We had many out of town guests, so having our venue in a hotel was very important to us. The night before our wedding, we hosted a welcome reception for our guests in the Hearth Lounge. The team there was wonderful to work with, and our guests had a great time. Our wedding ceremony and reception were held in The Grand Oaks Pavilion the following day. It was a stunning venue, and we received so many complements from our guests about how beautiful it was and how great the food was! The weather was nice too, so we were able to host our cocktail hour outside! The banquets staff was so wonderful! They made sure we had everything we needed and took great care of our guests. We hosted a breakfast buffet for our guests the morning after our wedding too, which was lovely. All of our guests loved how everything was in the hotel that weekend and they didn't have to worry about getting from place to place. Tiana was amazing to work with throughout the planning process. She answered all of our questions very quickly and was so helpful in making our big day come to life! Once we arrived onsite for the weekend, the whole staff was amazing, from the front desk to the banquets team. Everyone truly went above and beyond to make our day special. Reviewed on 05-12-2023

This was a beautiful and wonderful venue for our summer weekend wedding. We were blessed with weather in the 70s, so we could fully enjoy the beauty of the grounds, as we had our wedding in the Grand Oaks Pavilion and ceremony on the Grassy Knoll in front of Lake Fred. The staff, hotel coordinator, and managers were all extremely responsive and friendly. For example, we asked a few people to clear the pathway from acorns and goose droppings as much as possible, and while we were taking photos we saw at least 3-4 people working on it. Our guests raved about the food, the beautiful grounds, comfortable rooms, the amenities including the pool, and the convenience of us hosting everything at the hotel including the rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception and post-wedding breakfast. Shout out to Tiana, Jason, Cheryl, Barb - who were all so wonderful, responsive and professional. Highly recommend as a wedding venue! Reviewed on 02-09-2023
Lauren Lauer(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-06-2022 We loved this venue due to the fact that it felt like you were outside in nature even though you were in the suburbs of Chicago. We also loved the packages they offered and how so much was included in the packages. Communication could have been a bit better at times, but last year was so busy for many venues it all turned out amazing in the end. The event staff made our day truly special and made sure we had everything we needed. We heard that the bartenders were also amazing with the guests. So many people also complimented the food and that is always a plus at a wedding! The property is gorgeous in the summer and we would highly recommend using Hyatt Lodge. Our only complaint was the room block filling up before we could add more rooms, so we had to have some people stay at another hotel due to the hotel being fully booked! It shows you how popular the venue is! Reviewed on 11-01-2023
Sara Drake(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-11-2022 I cannot say enough about the Hyatt Lodge. My husband and I got married in the Grand Oaks Pavilion, stepped right outside to the foyer for cocktails, and then everyone went right back inside the main room for dinner and dancing.

I also appreciated it was kind if a one-stop-shop. We could do both ceremony and reception there, and they take care of catering, cake, and room block.

Our guests kept complimenting how beautiful the grounds were and I couldn't be happier with the turn out of the day.Working with the staff was an absolute breeze as well, especially with Cassidy and Tiana.

Mira Marchioretto(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-05-2022 It was an absolute delight to get married at the Lodge! Everything about our wedding was just perfect! We had our ceremony on the Grassy Knoll and our reception in the Grand Oaks Pavillion. Many of our out of town, and some of our local guests, 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!

Samantha Larson(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-07-2021 The first time my husband and I visited the Hyatt for a venue tour in 2019, we knew it was the venue for us. We were so thrilled when it ended up working out for our big day! When 2020 hit and my husband and I had to postpone our wedding multiple 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! Reviewed on 22-12-2021
Colleen Gunsaulus(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-09-2021 Overall, our wedding at the Hyatt Lodge was amazing. We were fortunate to book our date prior to the pandemic, so we had a lot of time to work with Hyatt leading up to the wedding. We had our ceremony on the grassy knoll, our cocktail hour outside 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! Reviewed on 12-10-2021
Danna Gonzalez(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 19-09-2021 Although, I started planning this wedding during the start of COVID season, the event planners at the Hyatt Lodge always kept me up to date on everything that was going on. Absolutely amazing place, amazing people, amazing food. From multiple 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!

Everything about our wedding exceeded our expectations. You must have your wedding here!!The food and dinner 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! Reviewed on 18-09-2021
Maggie Schulz(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-06-2021 I would recommend this venue to anybody! This was the only venue we looked at before everything shut down due to COVID and it did not disappoint. We immediately booked and it was the best choice we could have made. Jimmy Viscomi, the events 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.

He was very organized and made the wedding planning 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.

Kareen Barakat(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-08-2019 My husband and I just had our wedding here in August of 2019 and we were very happy throughout the entire wedding planning process (which for us began in October of 2018). We only had a reception for our big day and we chose the Grand Oaks Pavilion 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! Reviewed on 21-10-2019
Julie Murray(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-06-2019 I really loved our wedding in the Prairie Ballroom at Hyatt Lodge. Sigita, Megan, and the whole staff were so wonderful to work with throughout the entire planning process. I really wanted a space that did not look like a typical ballroom or banquet 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! Reviewed on 15-10-2019

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.

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).

From the beginning, Sigita (who I was primarily in contact with, along with Kelsey) was responsive to emails/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 worked with her and Kelsey and they were both very easy to work with and were always available to answer any questions or to go over details. The day of the wedding I made some small changes to the layout for cocktail hour and the Hyatt was more than accommodating. Our guests still comment on how beautiful the hotel and grounds were and how delicious the food was. They also loving having cheeseburgers as a late night snack. Reviewed on 20-11-2016
Theresa Y(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-07-2016 I am writing two separate reviews for the Hyatt Lodge because I feel that my wedding experience was drastically different depending on who I was working with. This review is for Leslie, who if you have the chance to work with, is just amazing! Leslie from start to finish really cared about making our wedding day special and truly did everything she could to make sure you got everything you could possible want even if it meant more work for her. There were many times when I had special requests for food, setup, sparklers, and she always found a way to make it happen if she could. She is super patient and willing to work with you and no detail is too small. Though this may not be important to some, for those who care about knowing what to expect and details, Leslie is the best. She was always very honest and friendly and I would recommend her to anyone.

Lauren Smith(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-08-2016 I could probably write volumes about how spectacular the hotel was as our wedding venue. Absolutely everything was thought out and executed with perfection. Even down to the wedding cake - the topper was positioned towards the doors when guests arrived, and then was rotated when guests were seated for dinner! Who even would have thought of that?! My husband and I felt pampered the entire day. Servers were following us making sure we got hors d'ouvers, drinks, and that we ate our meal. Our guests raved about the service, the food was amazing, cake was INSANELY gorgeous and delicious. Yes, it is pricey, but you get what you pay for. And not only that, you feel that your business is truly appreciated. Reviewed on 27-09-2016
Jenell Tylkowski(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 26-09-2015 I had my nails, makeup, and hair done at the Midtown Spa. It was wonderful! Jovi & Patty were great to work with. It was a bit of an unusual set up because there is only one room for beauty. Makeup is done in the locker room because of lighting. That part is a bit odd, but Jovi & Patty's skills were excellent!

Alex White(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-09-2015 I can't rave enough about the Hyatt Lodge. \r\rSigita and Leslie, our event planners, were miracle workers and Cheryl, our food captain, was incredible. From start to finish, the event was elegant and I felt like the most important bride they've ever had. \r\rIt is a bit pricy but you ABSOLUTELY get what you pay for! It is classy and elegant and our guests couldn't stop raving about it. \r\rWe had our ceremony outside on the Grassy Knoll and as I was walking down the aisle, I couldn't stop staring at how gorgeous the setup was. \r\rOur reception was in the Grand Oaks Pavillion and our guests were blown away by how romantic it was. The floor to ceiling windows created a classy and elegant look and I felt like I was in a fairytale. \r\rHaving our wedding at this location was one of the best decisions my (now!) husband and I have made and I can't wait to recommend it to all my girls getting married in the area soon!

Julie Alex(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-10-2014 If you want the best, this is it! I felt like a princess on my wedding day. The waitstaff at the Hyatt were AMAZING! They kept coming up to me and handing me appetizers to make sure I was eating. The few times I had to go to the bar (they were very good at watching when I needed something to drink and bringing it up to me without me even asking) I walked up and they already knew what I wanted. They were so attentive to both me and my guests. As the guests walked in all the servers stood lined up in black with white cloths hanging from their arms. My guests said they felt like they were in a movie. It was a nice touch. Sure the venue is a little pricey, but it is totally worth it and I would do it again in a heartbeat. Cheeseburgers as a late night snack at the end were a HUGE hit! The guests loved them! Reviewed on 28-01-2015
rachel yapp(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-11-2014 We had both our ceremony and reception in the Grand Oaks Pavilion. Our cocktail hour was in the Grand Oaks Pavilion foyer. It was perfect and exactly what we imagined. The hyatt really knows how to throw a wedding. We worked with multiple wedding coordinators but mainly Lauren, Tracy and Kelly. They all went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was exactly as we wanted. Whenever we asked or requested something they made sure to make it work. The food was also excellent and we got multiple compliments on it. We also had our rehearsal and morning after brunch at the Hyatt in the Q room. The food and attention to detail was great. They even placed pink napkins on the tables (we had pink napkins at the reception). It was little touches like that, that we really appreciated. I highly recommend Hyatt Lodge for your wedding venue!

Melissa Brackmann(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-06-2014 We had our wedding reception here on June 21st and I could not be more pleased with how everything turned out. We are still getting compliments on the food and the venue from our guests.\r\rWorking with Leslie and Sigita was such a pleasure. They were always there to answer my questions or give us suggestions on things. They were so helpful and made the planning process such a breeze.\r\rThe days leading up to the wedding I was a basket case (as many brides are) but I knew I did not have to worry about anything when I handed everything over to Leslie and Sigita.\r\rWhen I walked into the Grand Oaks Pavilion before our reception I was blown away. It was BEAUTIFUL! The lighting, tables, everything. It was exactly what my husband and I wanted for our reception. And the grounds of the Lodge are beautiful also. My husband and I and our bridal party took all of our photos there. When it was all filled in with the trees and the flowers, it looked amazing.\r\rI can't say enough about the Hyatt staff either. First, one of the servers was following us around with champagne and a tray of hors d'oeuvres when we were taking our photos during the cocktail reception. Amazing. We were STARVING. Our Captain (I think her name was Barb) was the most amazing person in the world. At the end of the night when we just wanted to crash, she was carting things up to our room and saving dessert trays for us to take the next day. She went above and beyond her call of duty for us and did it with the best attitude in the world. We cannot thank her enough for all of her help.\r\rThe food was also amazing. We got compliments on it all night. The service went great also and the cheeseburgers in paradise were a huge hit with the milkshake shooters. Bonus: not many brides and grooms get to actually eat their dinner at their reception because of mingling, photos etc. The amazing staff at the Hyatt saved plates for my husband and I to eat when we had a minute. While everyone was dancing, we had our prime rib dinner, just the two of us. I was so happy they did that because again, we were so hungry!! \r\rI am so happy we chose to work with the Hyatt for our wedding reception. It was exactly what my husband and I were looking for in a space and the staff went above and beyond our expectations and just blew us away. We cannot thank them enough for making our wedding day so special.\r\rIf you are looking for a reception hall, the Hyatt Lodge is your place and Leslie and Sigita are your girls.

Jillian Mitchell(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-12-2013 Our venue was awesome because our reception hall wasn't just the ballroom, it extended into he lobby (I didn't notice one outsider) so people could mingle or dance and didn't feel awkward if they weren't dancing.

We stayed overnight at the hotel and the rooms which are newly remodeled are awesome- clean and modern. I also used a make up artist from their Spa and she was great!

Lindsay Wilson(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-01-2011 The Hyatt Lodge was a beautiful place for our wedding! When we talked to them about how it was a great site for our trees/outdoorsy themed wedding but out of our budget they worked with us to get everything we wanted and more into our budget. Our wedding had food that our guests are STILL talking about (not just boring wedding food) and was even served elegantly. There are literally pictures of the dishes by our guests. They provided us with a wedding planner who made sure everything went well and the server for our wedding party made sure to check in with us. They set up everything for us and when our guests tried to help clean up at the end of the night, they stopped them and cleaned up insisting our guests were there for entertainment and us. They even provided individual take home cartons for our guests to put the cookies in we had at the wedding. With the small issue of our bridal party not having their ids on hand and not being able to get champagne. That resolved itself quickly and they apologized. I would recommend them to anyone!

Erika Malik(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-09-2010 The Hyatt was an exception venue to host the reception. We used the Grand Oaks Pavillion which sits near the woods (spectacular backdrop behind the glass walls). They were very professional and had great service the day of the wedding. My only concern was working with a particular coordinator who made the planning difficult. She has since moved on to another position so new couples shouldn't have a problem going forward. This person is the reason I rated \"Service\" lower since both herself and the Hyatt were not being problem solvers when she caused problems. For example, with our room block, we were not informed ahead of time as promised that the Hyatt was booking up. We had a minimal, uneven number of rooms for two nights and were forced to book more rooms at another hotel and shuttle our guests. This was a very unfortunate situation that could have been avoided.
