Our ceremony and reception were in the Monaco Ballroom on the top floor and it was fantastic. Our guests loved the window views and we even had a beautiful sunset at dinner (which i'd like to say was planned but it wasn't). Our guests continue to compliment on how good the appetizers and dinners were and everything ran as smoothly as we could have hoped for.

Martha Schwartz is who handles the sales and the go to person if you want your venue there. I have to say she is absolutely fantastic and unlike other people she will work with you it's not all cut and dry. We didn't end up using this venue the only reason is because we wanted an out door option also. I can't say enough good things she really made the experience enjoyable! Absolutely beautiful view!!

Having our reception at the Doubletree was a dream. The staff was so accommodating and awesome to work with. They helped plan every detail that I wanted to made sure we had a great experience. They were willing to go above and beyond to make sure we were happy. And the price was great (respectively) as weddings can be so experience! I think the Double tree is priced well compared to other more experience venues. Rachel was my main contact and she was available and helpful at every turn! Thank you all!

Lovely setting, delicious food (lots of our guests complimented and we're surprised by how delicious the food was.), very accommodating and helpful event planner (Lisa was terrific) and banquet manager team. Lisa followed up with us, handled all of our requests with warmth and professionalism - I don't think she said 'No' to anything! Everything was included in the price (including some free rooms, and rooms for the bridal party to get ready in), as well as open bar, appetizers, cake, dinner with entree choices, linens, etc. The view and sunset are amazing from the top floor of the doubletree Monaco ballroom. We comfortably sat 200 guests, including bridal party tables for 19. (Only Concern was a couple of tables have obstructed view behind wide pillars). Having our daughter's wedding there was a wonderful experience from day one, through the day after cleanup and retrieving our DIY floral items. Warm chocolate chip cookies and apples at every meeting didn't hurt! We came from Californ... Read moreia and felt especially taken care of by Lisa. She really made planning from a distance easy indeed. All hospitality and banquet staff were gracious and very helpful too. We highly recommend having your wedding here if you want a totally beautiful experience!

The first time we saw the Monaco Ballroom, we knew this is where we wanted to get married. The view of Chicago’s skyline is impressive. From our initial contact with Martha, then Molly and finally with Meagan, our wedding coordinator, we knew we were in good hands. Meagan is extremely professional and was very helpful prior to the event date and on the day of the wedding. Our guests still talk about the delicious food and amazing service by all the DoubleTree hotel employees. Truly a first-rate service! Meagan made the Monaco Ballroom look even more beautiful than I had expected for both our ceremony and reception. She took care of all the details and was there to assist us. The hotel is centrally located near highways and malls. This is the perfect venue to host an event. Thanks Meagan for making our wedding an event no one will forget.

Wonderful venue, we had a magnificent sunset during the reception in the Monaco Room at the top of the building . We'd had two prior events there (Bar Mitzvahs) and keep confirming it's the best place on the North Shore for an event. Our coordinator was Molly Larmon and she made everything perfect! Great food, great service, they made everything easy, very accommodating.

The DoubleTree was an incredible venue for our wedding! Molly, made sure that every detail was thought out and that we did not have to worry about anything the day of our event.

Meagan was amazing!! She helped me with every single detail, no question was too much! She made me feel comfortable and relaxed the day of my wedding, and for me that is a very difficult task. She helped us with our rehearsal. She went above and beyond our expectations! Our wedding was perfect because of her!! We cannot thank her enough!

My wedding was in October 2014 and we our reception at Doubletree by Hilton North Shore in Skokie , Illinois. During our search for a reception venue, I was quickly a fan of the Monaco Ballroom. The space has floor to ceiling windows that really add a "wow" factor. We were won over! We worked closely with our catering sales manager, Molly Larmon, throughout the process. Molly was a joy to work with and such a resource for us! Everything from the start to finish was excellent - the service, the food, and the accommodations! Molly is very responsive - I had so many questions and ideas that she was able to help with. Molly is very detail oriented and she did a great job listening and executing everything we had envisioned. She made the process and the day of significantly less nerve-racking. A big thank you to Molly and the DoubleTree staff!

We loved the Monaco ballroom and foyer, and had a great experience with Rachel. She was responsive, organized, and friendly. They coordinated the cake and photo booth for us, and recommended our DJ. The ballroom was the perfect size and we loved having the whole top floor to ourselves. We received lots of compliments on the view and the food. Rachel was very flexible and accommodating with our never-ending requests. They did forget to put out some of the desserts for the dessert table but they reimbursed us later. The suites were great too - both the guys and girls got ready there before our ceremony at Loyola and the photos turned out really nice. It was all very convenient. We couldn't have picked a better venue. Thanks for everything, Rachel and staff!

The staff went above and beyond helping to make our day special. We had a few last minute unexpected changes and both Rachel and Mollie came to the rescue! We were so pleased with the food, drinks and venue - we only heard rave reviews from our family and friends. We had the Monaco Ballroom - which has an exquisite view of the surrounding area - including a long distance view of the Chicago skyline.

Meagan, Molly and the DoubleTree team were fantastic to work with. From beginning to end, the process was organized and our questions/concerns were addressed promptly. The Monaco Ballroom is quite an amazing spot- even on a foggy night it's magical! Meagan is down to earth, approachable, helpful, and patient. We felt like she was a friend to us throughout, and day of I knew we could trust her to execute the vision we'd worked so hard to create. It was beautiful. There was an event before ours too, so she, our vendors and the DT team had to turn the room over in a limited amount of time and you never would have known. Word to the wise: uplights make a huge impact in the room and our awesome DJ (Carl at City Street DJ's) includes them in his packages. Meagan was ON IT: the lights were lowered immediately upon request, our special champagne glasses were packaged away carefully by Meagan personally, the remainder of our cheese board was packaged to take home, the list goes on. In gen... Read moreeral, the DT team treated my husband and I, our families and guests with patience and respect. EXCELLENT service. Best yet, they clean up after the party! Two reasonably minor complaints: 1- The entire pool area was closed for maintenance for our whole stay and we were given NO notice. We'd even asked when we booked if there was construction planned. Several families including my sister's (with four young boys) were counting on the pool to help entertain the kids over the weekend. The kids were crushed and it was a HUGE disappointment. 2- Our centerpieces included several large candles and hurricanes which were packed away on our behalf at the end of the night. When we unpacked them wax had spilled all over, and two of our vases with candles were never located. All that being said, we would book the DoubleTree again in a heartbeat and were so grateful to Meagan and the team for everything that they did throughout the process! Call them now!

Rachel was great. I would recommend her to anyone. As was the gentleman who managed the event. Everyone had a great time. There was some comment about the polenta not being prepared properly. I did not have it so I cannot comment. One observation I had was chairs could use a cleaning. There were spots on some of the sheers as well.

We cannot say enough good things about the venue and the team at the DoubleTree. Molly and Rachel worked with us to make sure our reception turned out exactly how we imagined. They were so responsible and accommodating! You spend countless hours planning the little details, and Rachel made sure our vision was executed to the very last candle. She was incredible! The Monaco Ballroom is gorgeous and the food was fantastic! We got so many compliments!
