We had Ravi do the catering for my daughter's wedding, which was at The Old Post Office in 2022. The tasting we had was fantastic, as a result we ended up offering more varieties of appetizers than originally planned, they were all amazing! The dinner options we chose were over the top! In addition my daughter wanted a dessert that wasn't on Ravi's menu, but he made it happen for her. Fast forward to 2024, my daughter is expecting and I was beginning to plan a baby shower for her. I called Ravi and found out he had become the caterer of choice for The Oak Brook Manor. Ravi bent over backwards to give my daughter the perfect baby shower. The facility is beautiful, and of course the food outstanding! We had 40 people, some of the choices of food we had were the siracha chicken, which everyone loved & my favorite!!! Swedish meatballs, not one was left over. Pulled pork, amazing. Mac & cheese, loved it! Vegetarian pasta salad, a big hit. Our guests went back for 2nds & 3rds and everyone loved it. I would, without a doubt, recommend Ravi. His food choices and quality go above and beyond. The venue itself is perfect. I would use Ravi in a heartbeat and know that he would be providing the best ingredients, service, location, and on-hand help/experience!!!

Where do I begin to review the absolute best vendor in the world? My husband and I looked at one place before the Marriott for our wedding, and the second we saw the Marriott and started speaking to the sales manager, we were sold. They were so accommodating from start to finish. Jill, Faby, and the entire team met and exceeded every single one of our expectations. The marriott @ burr ridge is not only an amazing location, our guests loved it, the rooms were nice and updated, affordable pricing, BEAUTIFUL and HUGE ballroom, great food, and I cannot think of one reason not to book here. If you want a stress-free wedding process at a place that you. your future spouse, and all of your guests are going to love, then look no further. I will never stop recommending the Marriott @ Burr Ridge for hosting a wedding. The absolute BEST vendor. THANK YOU MARRIOTT for making June 8 the best day of our lives!!!!!!

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Seven Bridges and it was truly magical! Everything was absolutely beautiful from start to finish, giving us the Winter Wonderland wedding of our dreams! Roisin provided us with tremendous guidance and support as we navigated through the craziness of wedding planning. She was always quick to respond to emails and answered all of our questions thoroughly. Jen was also extremely helpful with returning emails, assisting with our rehearsal, and making sure our wedding day ran smoothly. She was there for anything and everything that we may have needed during our big day. Overall, the entire staff was just amazing, from the day I requested information about the venue, all the way up to the last minute of our reception! The wedding packages provided us with options to be able to cater to all of our wants for our big day. They were flexible with some "non-traditional" aspects that we wanted to include, which was amazing! My family agreed that we chose the best venue! They told us how beautiful everything was and how the staff was impeccable! Our guests even expressed to us how it was one of the best weddings they have ever been to! My husband and I could not be more grateful to Seven Bridges for giving us the best day of our lives! Definitely one that we will remember forever!! We strongly recommend this venue for weddings!
