    Beautiful Wedding

    I had my wedding at Drury Lane in September and it was everything I had dreamed of and more! Drury Lane is the most beautiful backdrop for an elegant and romantic wedding. The giant glass chandeliers are breathtaking and the food and service was amazing. We got so many compliments about how wonderful and timeless our wedding was from guests. Tammy was great to work with and always very communicative throughout the entire process! Highly recommend Drury Lane for a gorgeous wedding venue.

    Excellent Venue

    My daughter had a beautiful wedding reception at Drury Lane. Everything was perfect and the staff was wonderful to work with. Can’t say enough good things about this venue!

    Amazing Wedding Experience!

    Megan and the rest of the staff at Drury Lane helped make our wedding a DREAM. Megan was communicative from the start, responding promptly to e-mails and calls, providing thoughtful suggestions, and offering advice. She was pleasant and sharp! She helped all of my vendors including the florist, DJ, and photo booth, around the space, so we showed up to a room that was perfectly set up and ready to party. I loved not having anything to worry about on the day of. The space itself (my husband and I used the Crystal Room) was stunning and required truly minimal decorations - a huge plus, as we were on a pretty tight budget. The food was wonderful, as was the service by the catering staff. They were all kind and attentive. Also impressive was the chef's attention to detail. Out of an almost 130-person wedding, we had four guests with very serious food allergies. The chef created a custom menu for each guest and was even able to provide it for us in advance. Overall, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Drury Lane. Planning was minimally stressful since the pricing includes so much. And if you can, definitely work with Megan! She was truly a rockstar.

    A Dream Wedding at Drury Lane!

    We are so happy we decided to have our wedding reception at Drury Lane. The venue is absolutely beautiful, and the staff is extremely professional and focused on the client and guest experience. Our coordinator was Tammy Blachuciak, and we could not have been more impressed with her. Tammy was very professional, responsive, and accommodating throughout the entire planning process. Her years of experience working in the industry are evident as she always had a calm demeanor while still executing flawlessly with her staff on everything we requested. The food at our wedding reception blew us away, and we received so many compliments from guests on how much they enjoyed the dinner. We could not be happier with our experience and cannot recommend Drury Lane enough!

    The perfect wedding venue!

    If you are looking for a wedding venue in the Chicago area, Drury Lane is the place to go! I cannot say enough great things about this venue, Tammy Blachuciak and all of the staff. From my first interaction reaching out to inquire about dates and pricing, I was surprised by how responsive and flexible everyone was, especially compared to experiences I had with other venues at the beginning of our planning process. My then fiancé and I toured Drury Lane on December 28th, 2018 and had it booked for our wedding date, October 5th, 2019 within one week because Tammy knew I was going out of the country for two weeks and worked extremely hard to work with me on the contract in such a short time frame. Having a wedding with 325 guests takes a lot of coordination and time and Tammy helped me with all of my random questions, last minute changes, and pointing out things that I hadn't even thought of. She was very flexible with meeting me at Drury Lane, even staying late to accommodate my drive in from the city. She even worked with my other vendors directly so that I wasn't stressing out right before the wedding. We had our wedding reception in the Oak and Brook ballrooms. It is hard to even describe how gorgeous and elegant Drury Lane is. From the beautiful entrance and foyer to the huge mirrors and stunning chandeliers in the ballroom, it is simply the most beautiful wedding venue I have ever been to. On top of that, the food is amazing! All of our guests were raving about how delicious the food was. The serving staff was great about getting all of the food out efficiently but also taking the time to make sure guests were done with each course before taking it away. As this was my wedding, I know that I am probably biased in saying this was the best wedding I have ever been to, but ALL of my guests said the same thing and I know this would not have been the case if not for Tammy and Drury Lane. Tammy truly cared about our wedding and making it as perfect as can be, you can tell that it is not just a job for her. I cannot recommend Drury Lane enough!

    Simply amazing!

    We got married at Drury Lane last month and it was just an overall wonderful experience! They were one of the first vendors we booked during our 18-month engagement, and every step over those 18 months was so simple and straightforward.
    We were looking for a venue that was beautiful on its own, pretty much all-inclusive, and reasonably priced and Drury Lane ticked all those boxes. Also, the food was DELICIOUS! Seriously, its a month later and people are still telling me how it was probably the food they'd had at a wedding (shout out to the champagne sorbet). So much parking, plus complimentary valet, hotels on-site (plus a complimentary hotel room), easy to get to from the city and just all that old-Hollywood glam.
    We worked with Ruth, Lesley, and Tammy and each of them was incredibly helpful and so nice. It was so easy to arrange our tasting, pick a menu, discuss linens, arrange a rehearsal, etc.
    I can't recommend highly enough!

    An honest dream come true wedding

    Drury Lane was everything we could have imagined for our wedding reception. We walked into our first tour assuming they would be far out of our price range - the beautiful venue, the high ceilings, the incredible food - no way we could afford it, right? WRONG! Drury Lane had an option for almost every budget, including ours. We held our reception in the Oak Room - with high ceilings and beautiful chandeliers. We had an open bar, served a 5 course meal, and danced the night away until midnight. Every member of the staff was wonderful. Tammy was a dream to work with, and we are so so so happy with the way our wedding turned out! I could go on for days about how happy we are with Drury Lane, but I'll keep it short - the food was out of this world, the staff was amazing, the space was GORGEOUS, and it was a dream come true! I am still getting compliments and "I can't believe that venue!" messages. Honestly, if you want a glam wedding in the Chicago area without the "downtown Chicago" price point - Drury Lane is IT!

    We loved everything about Drury Lane when we had our wedding day reception there. The food was amazing, the chandeliers are beautiful, the service was great. The only thing that was missing is there wasn't a bridal room to store our stuff in, so we put purses, boxes, etc. underneath the gift card table. Other than that it was a really beautiful place and I'd recommend.

    We were originally looking for a venue where we could do both ceremony and reception, but thought we'd give Drury Lane a try. And I'm so glad we did! So many good things to say - the sales and planning teams answered all of our questions and found something that worked with our budget, and then kept me calm and on track for planning. We found a church close by for the ceremony. Our out of town guests were happy to have lots of hotel options close by. The service was great. It's been almost a month and people are still talking about how good the food was.

    This venue was perfect! It accommodated my huge wedding and I have gotten a lot of compliments. Everyone raved about the food and the space! I can never ask for a beautiful evening. Kara has been attentive, and she was pretty good responding back to me and my day of coordinator. The budget was very reasonable! I just wish the day didn't fly by fast! Everything was a blur!

    My advice for others is to have a Wedding budget. please set limitations on what is important to spend the most money on versus where you can save on other things. Take your time, breathe and Love each other through the process. The day of your Wedding will go by so fast, So enjoy it and stay by each other side the whole time!! Drury Lane was everything I wanted and more..The entire staff was spectacular, especially Leslye!

    We had the BEST experience with Drury Lane. Our event manager, Lesley, was fantastic - so responsive, flexible, attentive and just made everything so so easy. The food is amazing - everything tastes just like it did during the tasting and we received so many complements from our guests. We had a Christmas wedding, and the decor within the lobby itself is just breathtaking. I would recommend this venue to anyone and everyone - stunning, classic, perfect.

    We had the most wonderful experience working with the staff at Drury Lane. The venue is amazing and everything was pulled off perfectly. They answered all the emails with questions along the way in a timely manner and went above and beyond to make sure the reception was everything we wanted. We have had multiple comments on how beautiful the room looked, how delicious the food was and how good the drinks were. We are only sad that it went by so quickly. We will be back for Sunday brunches often!

    One of the first and best decisions we made in the wedding planning process was choosing Drury Lane for our venue, and we agree that we would do it again in hindsight. Not only does Drury Lane include everything (and I do mean everything, right down to linens, centerpieces, valet parking, and a honeymoon suite), but Lesley, the catering manager, was so helpful and responsive throughout the entire process, answering every question we came up with, often in a matter of hours. Our actual wedding day was completely perfect, and Lesley even worked with our other vendors to coordinate deliveries and setup, making a day-of coordinator unnecessary for us. As if all that weren't enough of a recommendation, we heard from multiple guests that the food was the best they had eaten at a wedding, and we stayed well within our desired budget. We could not come up with a negative aspect of our experience with Drury Lane if we tried. Book them if you can!

    My husband and I had our wedding at Drury Lane on May 20, 2016. It was the wedding of our dreams!!!! Since the wedding, I feel that it is my duty, whenever I can, to highly recommend this venue!!! From the moment you enter the facility, you step into a classy and gorgeous environment. Kara, my coordinator was unbelievably amazing and sooooooo helpful with EVERYTHING! The staff is professional and courteous, and above all very caring and attentive towards making our day a special and memorable one! I cannot say enough positive things about Drury Lane. When you see what is offered and available to you, you will see that it is the best bang for your buck in the Chicagoland area!!! The food is UNREAL!!! Guests are still talking about the food quality and that the food was the best tasting at any wedding attended. Guests with NOT leave hungry and the drinks are flowing aplenty! It was truly the wedding of our dreams and the most perfect day! And the chandeliers????!!!! STUNNING! We had our ceremony in the Venetian Room and the the reception in the Crystal Ballroom. I would highly recommend booking these two rooms! And the venue is perfect since the Hilton Suites and Garden Inn bookend this venue! Everything is right there! Thank you thank you to Drury Lane and all staff members! look no further than Drury Lane when deciding on your wedding venue!

    My daughter's reception was at the Drury Lane and I must say that it was everything they said it would be. Leslie was an outstanding coordinator with a tremendous amount of patience (we changed the linen at least 4 times) and understanding. The food at the reception was just as wonderful as it was when we went for the tasting. Thanks again for making my daughter's wedding day all that she dreamed of.

    Drury Lane was incredible. Everything from the staff, to the location and food. Everything we requested was granted. The staff and Lesley were very well organized. The food at the reception was every bit as good as the tasting. Everyone has raved about Drury Lane and we could not be happier with our choice. The hall was elegant and the perfect venue for our guests.

    I had my wedding and reception at Drury Lane in June of this year. First, I must say that it was everything I dreamed of. The wait service was great;professional; and prompt, the food was excellent (We served rack of lamb and filet mignon), the rooms were beautiful, the drinks were great (my guests walked up to me to share that bit of info), and most of all....Tammy was great to work with. Every special request I asked her for, she delivered with a smile. Though I had quite a bit of decor from my vendor, I still did a lot of DIY. I left her pics and instructions on where everything went. I highly recommend having your wedding and/or reception here. They handled my large wedding without breaking a sweat. I had almost 300 people. The value (the cost for what you get) is better than other venues in the area. The parking is free and plentiful, and there are two hotels next door for you out of town guests and getting ready. If you don't at least consider them, you are doing yourself an injustice.

    From the very beginning, working with everyone at Drury Lane has been amazing. Lesley helped me take care of every little detail and made sure my vision came to life. The food at Drury Lane is unbelievable, some of the best food I have ever had at a wedding. Everyone I encountered during both the planning process, and the reception itself was friendly, helpful, and went out of their way to make sure the night was perfect. I would recommend Drury Lane to anyone looking for a beautiful, classy venue, without the Chicago price tag. The night was an absolute fairy tail.

    An Event Coordinator's experience: I got married here in December of 1991. We had the pleasure to return to Drury Lane to celebrate my 23rd Wedding Anniversary. We hadn't been there since 1991.
    OMG! It was exquisite and we were blown away by the facility. It seems you are walking into a downtown venue without the $$ price tag.
    The service was way beyond attentive. Our waiter was so sweet and made us feel important, his name is Yuri. They had station after station giving their customers so much variety to select from and they even had a ice cream sundae bar! Yummy! You should have seen the sleigh Santa Claus was sitting on! It was classic and made for a great Christmas picture with Santa.
    The color scheme is sophisticated and their attention to detail is apparent everywhere. As an Event Coordinator, you always notice the special little touches that sets that venue apart from the others, realizing that the owners and management take great pride in giving you the very best.
    The remodeling went all the way from the new wallpaper to the last details of new banquet chairs. The new banquet chairs are gorgeous! Yes, gorgeous and modern. Now, you as clients, do not have to worry about the EXTRA money and expense it takes renting to cover what venue offers.
    The main ballrooms are everything you would hope for.
    In my experience, the most requested items a Bride and Groom wants from a venue is:
    1. Gorgeous, timeless, and impressive, the "wow" factor. - Check
    2. A beautiful and large lobby area with lounge area and sitting area outside ofballroom, the "wow" factor. - Check
    2. A beautiful and large lobby area with lounge area and sitting area outside of ballroom. - Check
    * Great for your guests to grab a drink during dinner hour.
    3. Close by or attached hotel for guests to stay. Convenient. - Check
    4. Neutral color scheme, updated, and beautifully maintained. - Check
    5. Attention to detail is everywhere. - Check
    A must to tour!

    My husband and I just got married this past Saturday (11/1/14) and we are beyond pleased with how wonderful the night was. We were in the Crystal Room. The chandeliers and entryway were beautiful, the setup was perfect, and the atmosphere was truly magical. Drury Lane was very hands on in the weeks and months leading up to the wedding, and this continued through the day of. We had the pleasure of working with Kara, Tammy and Ruth and I do not have a negative thing to say about any of them. Kara and Tammy helped with so much of the planning and were very responsive to any and all requests I had. I know our guests who had food allergies and intolerances had nothing to worry about - Drury Lane was able to accommodate all of their dietary needs. The servers bringing out food and clearing tables were very professional and polite. I was a nervous wreck for a lot of the day and had no appetite, but they were kind enough to wrap up my food for me to take home and enjoy the next day (and boy did I - even reheated the food was OUT OF THIS WORLD).

    Ruth was there day of and she really took care of us. It was such a relief having her there to help guide the night, as neither I nor my husband really knew how crazy it would be until we were in the middle of it. She made sure we were well fed, there was always wine at our table, and even made sure our parents had everything they needed. Nothing went according to plan and yet everything was perfect.

    I made it a point for us to greet every one of our guests and they all RAVED about the venue, the food and the great time they had. All of the pictures people snapped are streaming in and every comment is about how beautiful the wedding was. I like to think that was my planning, but we could not have had such an amazing night in such a breathtaking venue without the help of the wonderful women of the catering department of Drury Lane. THANK YOU!

    I loooooved this venue!!! And that's an understatement!!! They were so helpful from beginning to end! If I had more money I would have paid them all extra!!! They even helped me take care of the centerpieces I did myself and they arranged them themselves. I couldn't be happier with my choice of venue! The food was awesome staff was awesome and Kara was more like a wedding assistant from beginning to end! It's a pricy venue but worth every dollar!
