If you are looking for an absolutely stunning venue, delicious food, and amazing service - look no further!! We had the pleasure to work with Wanda for our wedding and it was one of the best experiences we could’ve asked for. Wanda truly made our dreams come true. She is a true professional, kind, and cares for her couples so much. In any way possible, Wanda went above and beyond. She always prioritized our interests and made sure our wedding was exactly what we wanted. Every time we stepped into the venue leading up to our wedding, the space gave us butterflies. If you are looking for a truly memorable experience, book with Wanda at Victoria In The Park!! Reviewed on 21-09-2023

They made my husband and my day better than we could have ever imagined. They always were super responsive and quick with any question, big or small. The food was absolutely incredible and all of our guests raved about it. They were able to help provide other vendors they have worked with and we used many of those.

Mikayla Hermsen(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-05-2022 Stunning venue. Incredible food (no joke). The way it lights up at night with the chandeliers is fairy tale like. Their space is large and can be transformed into any vision. Their team works so hard. Wanda was our head planner and made us feel like family. She truly outdid herself to ensure the day went smooth. It was an immediate decision after meeting her and touring the venue. Highly recommend touring! Reviewed on 23-06-2022
Michelle Capezio(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 31-07-2021 I have nothing but wonderful things to say about my experience with Victoria in the Park (VIP). I'd like to preface by saying that I work in event planning myself. I have for many years, which provides me with extra insight and appreciation for the work VIP did. I've worked with poor vendors, and I know how much that can tarnish an experience which is why when I work with a truly wonderful vendor, they stand out. I partnered with Lucy for my wedding - she was professional, fun to work with and it was very evident that she would and wanted to do everything she could to give her clients the best experience possible. I thoroughly enjoyed working with her and would recommend her to all. I was married seven months ago but waited until I received my professional photos to write my review (hoping to include some) - in this time we STILL have guests reaching out to us saying how much they enjoyed our wedding. We had roughly 300 guests and my husband and I are often told how our wedding was one of, if not the best wedding our guests have been to. We had one couple compare our wedding to being on a cruise which we got a big kick out of haha. I attribute that a lot to VIP. The venue offers a unique experience for guests - cocktail hour upstairs, later ushered down a beautiful stairway to reveal the grand ballroom, the wine parade to start the dinner, the bananas foster performance to conclude the meal and open the dance floor - all these little experiences add up and set VIP apart to make for a memorable night. We had the cognac room open as well for guests which from what we've heard, they really enjoyed. We also used the cognac room with our bridal party for a pre-reception toast and it made for a fun experience and great pictures. In addition to the reception at VIP, I also got ready with my bridal party at VIP that morning. Lucy was kind enough to allow my dog to come and get ready with us which meant a lot to me (again with those little touches!). The venue was perfect for the morning of - the staff set out breakfast, mimosas, coffee, etc. The bridal suite is lovely and was the ideal spot for hair & makeup. I had 14 bridesmaids, 4 flower girls, my mother, a friend who came to help with my dog, my photographer, and my videographer all there. There was never a time where we felt cramped or overwhelmed in the space. Not to mention all the pictures that we took there that morning turned out wonderful. I had my dad come and we had our first look on the staircase. I could go on. I'll end with this last point though. I wasn't crazy with how my flowers came out. The flowers are unrelated to VIP - but what is related to VIP is that even with the disappointment I felt in my arrangements, I still felt that the venue looked wonderful. The pictures are still very pretty and everyone in attendance raved about how gorgeous everything looked. That is because the venue is an impressive space all in its own. I met with and researched a lot of venues before landing on VIP and I am 100% confident that I made the right decision. If you want your event to stand out and working with someone who will treat you with respect and care is a priority – look no further than Lucy & her team at Victoria in the Park.

We had our wonderful event on Sunday 11/14/21 at Victoria in the Park. The venue was beautiful, the staff were friendly and service was amazing!Planning an event can be exhausting and not always enjoyable for the planners. However, our event coordinator Zaneta is a natural and she was outstanding! From the beginning of the process she provided excellent customer service and went above and beyond to help us accomplish a great event. Zaneta was professional, attentive and had a very pleasant and welcoming disposition. She possesses great communication skills from quick response to emails, to phone calls and during the event she was there and ready to do everything she can to make our event timeline flow with ease. Zaneta provided great and simple suggestions, professional advice and followed through on all of it to make our event successful. Because she had done such an awesome job for us as the event coordinator it allowed for everyone (including myself) to have a great time! Zaneta was quick in accommodating our needs and provided a flawless execution of the event! Our guests were very pleased with the event and we had an overwhelming amount of people express what a wonderful time they had and are looking forward to the next event, Thank you Zaneta, for making our night special and wonderful! Of course we're looking forward to having more events like this with you ! Reviewed on 18-11-2021
Brittany San Roman(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-09-2021 I got married at Victoria in the park and let me tell you everything was perfect. We were originally suppose to have our wedding in 2020 but due to the pandemic we couldn't. Lucy sat with us and helped us choose a new date and we rolled from there. Lucy was Beyond helpful and we really couldn't as for more. Honestly any thing we asked for, within reason of course, Lucy did to the best of her ability and made our night a dream come true! its almost two months later and I'm still getting compliments on Staff, food, and the venue. If your thinking of choosing Victoria in the park, don't hesitate any longer! this is the perfect venue! (Also huge recommendation, go with the tomato bisque soup, its delicious) Reviewed on 16-11-2021
Therese Spalla(guest)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-11-2021 This venue was absolutely breathtakingly beautiful! When we walked in we were greeted by a champagne wall!!! It was kept fully stocked as they passed the Delicious hors d’oeuvres . We walked into the grand ballroom it looked like a beautiful fairytale castle. The room was spectacular and the food was just as spectacular. We enjoyed the evening from beginning to end . Thank you for taking such exquisite care of your establishment and making our experience joyous and beautiful! Reviewed on 15-11-2021
Samantha Jahjah(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-07-2021 VIP was a great experience during the planning and organizing prior the wedding day. They were very understand about or circumstances with international travel and our guest count. They always answered our questions and concerns. However during the day of the wedding there was a lack of follow through with a lot of their promises. For example the dessert table was nowhere to be seen until after all our guest were practically gone as well as the late night snack where there should’ve been enough pizza to feed 186 people but we only saw a handful of trays hidden in a corner of the venue and none could see them. The only reason I give the venue one less star is because staff were very sketch. One of our guests caught the waiter putting tip money in their pocket from the tip box and also the staff left with our over $700 dollars worth in floral without asking for permission and as well as baklava we brought externally from Lebanon and Detroit that was highly offensive. They did not ask if they could take these things before the end of the night. Even if we didn’t want them they should’ve asked no questions asked but they didn’t even do so and left with our pizza and some favors too. There was some coordinator mishaps the day of the wedding like us ending at midnight but we were told we never communicated this when we 100% did. Otherwise with the help of my family we were able to still make this a wonderful place to have our guests. Their chef deserves a lot of credit because everyone loved the food and didn’t have any concerns on that note. We were thankful to use the bridal suite to get ready. Another thing that bothered us was we were promised to be able to take photos of our bridal party inside and the venue coordinator kicked us outside in 90 degree weather. I was so upset to get my dress dirty and it was hot and uncomfortable for us... They should’ve told us earlier that they would need this to happen... Reviewed on 14-07-2021

Kiley Birch(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-04-2019 We had our wedding at Victoria in the Park on Friday, April 12 and it was the perfect space for our wedding. Our main concern when picking a venue was one that could hold all of our 300 invited guests but also didn't share a wall with another event. Victoria in the Park was beautiful and most importantly private. We worked with Maria as our coordinator and we loved her. She was so helpful and fun throughout the whole process. She was so accommodating and helpful. Day-of she was there to make sure everything ran smoothly and everything worked out very well. Eric, our banquet captain was also very attentive and friendly. We have had many compliments on the food, the service, and the space. If you are looking for a banquet hall in the suburbs of Chicago, I would definitely recommend Victoria in the Park.
