The Metropolitan

orked with us for over a year as we planned the wedding of our dreams. Gina was an incredible communicator and efficiently and effectively got things done. She was so easy to work with and made our vision a possibility. The venue was stunning and our guests are still raving about The Metropolitan. The food was extremely high quality and the service was spectacular. There was absolutely no detail that was overlooked. HUGE thank you to Gina and the Metropolitan!!!

solutely spectacular. She worked with us through every detail and had so many beautiful recommendations on touches that truly made the day so perfect. We almost had to postpone due to a family member being in the ICU and she was so kind and patient throughout the process. The Mixologist, Ashley, also went above and beyond to accommodate. I do not drink alcohol but still wanted to have a signature “mocktail” and she helped me create something way above my expectations! She even offered a non-alcoholic champagne I could drink to toast the night. Additionally all the staff makes you feel so celebrated and the food really is a wow factor. Highly recommend!!

get more than your money's worth and your guests will LOVE IT!!

to a stressful process and went above and beyond her duties. The food, venue layout, and level of service from the waitstaff was incredible and was consistently mentioned by all of our guests. All of our other vendors enjoyed working with the Metropolitan, and would highly recommend The Metropolitan to anyone looking for a venue.

ll happen. She was so accommodating and pleasant to work with. Our guests are still talking about the amazing view, the beautiful venue and the delicious food. Thank you Sally!

(held in the Craftsman) was on the 67th floor of the Sears Tower - all rooms offered amazing views for our guests that had traveled and even our Chicago guests were in awe. They even offer guests a private elevator to the top floor of the Sears Tower! Everything from the food to the open bar were FANTASTIC and the layout was just perfect for our guests - and all for an extremely reasonable price! Due to COVID, we had postponed our wedding for a year and a half and throughout that time, Lorena was extremely patient, helpful and accommodating - she was a great resource to have while navigating through the unusual year. Any requests we had to help tailor our wedding, her and her team were able to execute and was extremely responsive to all our questions. Two weeks after our wedding, we're still hearing from our guests how amazing the venue / food and drinks were - we can't thank her and her team enough and we would HIGHLY recommend this venue - everything was just perfect about it!

ming, reassuring, and knowledgeable guide. Everything went off flawlessly with coordinating our vendors. The view was breathtaking and the food/drinks were fabulous. Choosing the Metropolitan as our venue was hands-down the best decision we made. We are so grateful to everyone for making our special day possible!

tiful setup for us and took care of everything. The entire team that evening was professional, kind and fun. Highly recommend having your reception here!

fantastic.

ated Lorena’s patience with our questions, as well as her transparency with costs as we felt like other venues were not as collaborative. The whole team was very friendly and responsive, and made every step of the wedding process enjoyable and exciting (ie; wedding tasting). If there was something we wanted at the reception, Lorena made sure we got it! We received so many compliments from our guests regarding the food and how the room itself looked beautiful and classy, in line with our black tie encouraged event. The staff on the day of was very professional, yet fun, and made our guests’ experience one to remember. What better place to get married than one of the most memorable landmarks in Chicago?

used on making sure I was happy with our plans and were flexible in helping us achieve our goals. I was honestly worried that I wouldn't be able to "let go and have fun" at the reception after planning like a crazy person for months, but the fantastic team took everything off my hands so I really had the best time ever. I would definitely recommend The Metropolitan.

f filet. We wanted a venue that was unique, and it doesn't get much more impactful than the 66th floor of the Sears Tower. The views are obviously stunning and made for an unforgettable experience. We really enjoyed working with our point of contact Lorena, who was incredibly professional and patient with us during our many rounds of questions. The day-of staff was also very friendly and helped elevate the experience for our guests.

h. They answered any and all questions promptly and were extremely accommodating to all requests. They were very flexible and responsive in working with all of our other vendors. The room turned out exactly how I wanted, and the food was delicious. The new renovations look great, and the ballroom is the perfect size for a 200-person wedding. The views were wonderful for the cocktail hour and reception.

erfect. We would recommend The Metropolitan whole-heartedly and without reservation. Thank you so much!

Club came to mind as a place that would as unforgettable as it was beautiful. From the beginning, the team at the Metropolitan, namely Sally Woodson, made the entire process as seamless as ever. We had the lovely experience of allowing all of our guests to go up to the SkyDeck before the happy hour which really wowed everyone. From there, the food and the whole evening were absolutely perfect! Our guests still tell us about how much they enjoyed the night, which truly makes us so happy. If you are looking for an iconic Chicago venue for your wedding that you will remember for the rest of your life, look no further than the Metropolitan Club!

politan were outstanding at helping us envision our event, budget for (realistic!) costs, refer competent vendors and hotels for out of town guests, and coordinated the event without the additional need, headache, and cost of a wedding coordinator. The team at the Metropolitan, led by General Manager Simona Blaugh, and Private Event Director Lorena Mulvaney, along with former team member Ashley Toomey, helped us every step of the way. As guest counts changed, logistics were altered, and the other unexpected things that pop up in the days leading up to the event, the team handled them professionally, quickly, and transparently. Our experience from the phenomenal tasting and planning session (bring to go bags, as you'll leave with a full array of entrees!), to the follow up meetings to finalize the details, to the day of the event when we were focused on the remaining details, we felt supported and treated as one of the Metropolitan family right until we walked down the aisle through the end of the evening. Even as the club underwent massive (and beautiful!) renovations in the months leading up to the ceremony, we never worried that the work would get done and that we'd be well taken care of when the day finally came. The views are stunning, the food is impeccable, the venue and operations teams work like a well-oiled machine, and the great event leaders are strong, competent communicators. Although we only get one wedding, this may not be the last event we host with the team at the club. A++

my wedding here a thousand times over! My guests are still raving about the night. The beauty, the view, the food, and experience! Everything was lovely! Only thing I wish I could’ve done was have enough time for all my guests to go to the sky deck. We had that planned, but didn’t realize it would take an hour per table to go up there. So, we nixed it the day of. But, Sally ensured that we’d get a refund for that. If you want that aspect to be a part of your wedding, start earlier than 5 and plan accordingly. Anyway, very beautiful day. I wish I could relive it again :). Can’t wait to go back for our anniversary dinner! They offer you a complimentary anniversary dinner and replica wedding cake- so no need to save the top after your wedding!

million emails and helped me plan every little detail. The food and service was amazing during our wedding and Ashley came up to us numerous times to make sure everything was going okay. She coordinated with all my vendors, set up everything for our big day and they even took it down! This is one of the VERY few venues I know that’ll do that for you for no extra charge. You will not regret having your wedding here.

sional the whole way through! The food is literally amazing...I had nothing but compliments all night regarding how good it was and not your typical “wedding food”. Bartenders were great, speedy and made a good drink! Request Sally for all your wedding needs and you will be good to go!

staff and event planners were truly wonderful to work with for the duration of the planning process and their execution on the big night was everything I could have asked for and more. All of the little details I requested were honored and done so well above my expectations. I recommend The Metro Club to any bride and groom.

for better. We had a rainy/cloudy wedding day so I was very afraid the view would be ruined but by 9 PM the clouds went down and we had the city views back! Ashley Toomey was also an incredible key piece to the day. She was with us every step of the way in helping us totally customize our experience. The day of she took care of everything and we were so worry-free! I would highly recommend this venue!

ent above and beyond to make our day special and were very accommodating throughout the entire process, from the initial tour to the end of our reception. Ashley was a pleasure to work with and definitely helped alleviate the stress that comes with planning a wedding. Our guests proclaimed that our wedding was the best one they had ever been to and raved about the stellar views, the amazing food and the superior level of service. Thank you to the entire staff for making our wedding day memorable!

entire planning process, Ashley Toomey was always ready to answer all my questions (and I had many!) and she organized everything in the most perfect way (she's awesome!). The dinner was delicious, and all the extras we included were worth it. We had both our ceremony and reception at the 66th floor and went to the skydeck to take pictures at the ledge. There is not even one bad thing to mention, it was perfect!

econd time thinking I would rearrange my schedule to fit theirs, but not even a response to acknowledge my message. I actually cannot imagine dealing with this venue come closer to your wedding date- i'd be SO stressed out working with people like this! I can rest easy because I have found 4 other venues that have gone above and beyond for my fiance and us. Stay away!!!

f our questions answered right away throughout the process. Very professional and the place was beautiful. Highly recommend!!

f, including Ashley Toomey, as the coordinator on my wedding day made it stress free and an amazing experience. I was truly satisfied with everyone at the Metropolitan Club for making my wedding day unforgettable!

was perfect !

our private events director. She was extremely helpful, always prompt and responsive (especially to our millions of emails), and no detail was too big or small for her to handle! The food was terrific, the waitstaff all did a tremendous job (our guests even told us how great they were). Our wedding guests said over and over that it was the best wedding they had attended. Truly the most memorable day EVER!

coordinator. Throughout our entire 18 month planning process, Lorena was so accommodating and wonderful to work with! Lorena was very prompt when responding to emails, and as future bride will come to realize, there will be a LOT of emails during the planning process! I was not once worried that the day would not go as planned! Lorena is on top of everything! We received so many compliments about how beautiful the room was, how amazing the views were, how great the food was, and how smoothly things were run! This would not have been possible without Lorena and her wonderful team! Thank you does not seem like enough! Our wedding will be a day my husband and I, along with our guests will never forget! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!

or. She was a pleasure to work with and was always available with any questions/concerns we had. On the day of our wedding, we were a bit behind schedule as we were still waiting on family members to arrive. Sally made sure to keep the day going as planned, as if we were on time. The food tasted amazing. The decor was very elegant. The staff were very attentive. And of course all of our guests were in awe with the view of Chicago from the 67th floor. The Metropolitan Club made our wedding vision come to life. We definitely recommend if to any newly-engaged couples looking for a wedding venue.

ll, intimate and emotional - the staff and Sally were amazing in ensuring those elements remained in tact throughout the evening. We added little touches up to the last day and the team had no problem making adjustments. Anytime we had questions or needed another walk-through Sally was happy to make herself available. The day of our wedding went smoother than we could have hoped. The bar wasn't open yet, but this bride needed a glass of wine and Aby found a way to make it happen! The room we reserved to get ready in was too hot due to the time of day, and the team easily moved us into another adjacent room that was much cooler, making make-up and hair a snap for all. Our bartender and service team were a delight throughout the evening and made each of our guests feel special - down to the chocolate tower treat for our kids. There was another female attendant in addition to Aby that I want to give special thanks to (so sorry I cannot remember her name!). She kept everything moving efficiently and was wonderfully patient with me - much appreciated. We wouldn't change a thing about our day.

am. The views were without equal and the space was complete with every amenity you could possibly want. Add that to the "wow" factor of being in one of Chicago's most iconic buildings and you've got a beautiful combination. Thanks!

t. The food, service and of course the view were amazing. Lorena, was the absolute best to work with. We had winter wedding and snow came down at the perfect time which just added more to the magical evening. I cannot say enough about every staff member, it is the hidden gem that is worth visiting.

dding a reality. I couldn't have been happier! The food was so amazing, we got so many complements; a friend said he asked for seconds on the salad! Overall, we had the best day ever! Thank you Ashley and staff at the Metropolitan Club!

great place to have a wedding. Every time we are driving into downtown or can spot the Willis Tower from the suburbs, we say "hey that's where we got married! Relatives from out of town were definitely thrilled to be in Chicago's tallest skyscraper to celebrate with us. Location and atmosphere aside, the food and service was equally outstanding. The planning was perfect by Lorena, who I cannot say enough great things about. I would recommend this venue to anybody that is looking for a place to have the perfect wedding and hope they all get to work with Lorena and the same staff that helped us.

the entire staff had everything under control, and I honestly felt like we were free to enjoy the evening, without a worry. We were able to add our own special touches to the space, and I watched Lorena as events unfolded, attentive to every detail to ensure things flowed smoothly. We had a blast, the food was wonderful, and the service was flawless. Our guests are still telling us it was the best wedding they have ever attended. It is worth noting, The Metropolitan Club is a welcoming space for all couples. If you are looking for a magical place in Chicago to host your family and friends for your special day, you owe it to yourself to have a look.

ccessible, super helpful, and on top of things which is what you want when you're a bride and already have a million things to keep track of. Everything about our day was perfect and if anything went wrong, I had no idea. All of our details were executed exactly as we asked and turned out even better than we envisioned. The staff was extremely accommodating and our guests raved about the venue and the food especially. Everyone we spoke with could not compliment the food and the space enough. I wish we could do it all over again and would choose the Metropolitan Club every time!

ive brides and grooms with an event table that has a binder of recent wedding photographs, and they tour you around the event spaces with a glass of champagne. They provide you a very helpful binder checklist, and any outstanding question (big or small) was promptly replied to by Lorena with complete understanding and professionalism. It was truly a seemless experience, and I don't know what I would have done without Lorena and the Metropolitan Club team. A very special thank you to her and Rick for going beyond the call of duty with our concerns, and providing us the best day of our lives. If we could do the day all over again, we would still confidently choose the Metropolitan Club and Lorena for our venue. Everything was top notch. Total satisfaction!

and friendly, the space was classic, and the VIEW! Ashley was wonderful to work with, and made the process a breeze. Plus the cost was really reasonable for a downtown location. Plus you can add the Sky Deck to your package, which our guests LOVED. We were so happy with our decision and highly recommend the Metropolitan Club!

bride (no easy task). The views were spectacular and the venue was not your ordinary space. Food was excellent and service was great. The club accommodated special request for our event and really tailored it for us. They worked well with outside vendors. Everything went smoothly and the timing of all events was perfect. Couldn't recommend the Metropolitan Club enough. If you are searching for wedding venues in Chicago definitely call Sally you will not be disappointed.

and reception everything could not have gone smoother. The food was outstanding, the wait staff professional and the views breath taking.

onal and helpful. The food was outstanding and was delivered en mass per table. No one had to wait. Cake was excellent. Bartenders were fast and efficient. No one had to wait.

w but also great food and service that would be affordable when I found The Metropolitan Club! Kelley was super helpful, understood my needs, she was very accesible since the begginning even though I wasnt in Chicago I was able to plan everything with her. I only got to Chicago two weeks before the wedding but by that time Kelley and I had everything planned out. on the wedding day I didnt had toworry of vendors going to the club since Kelley had already arranged everything for that day. The view was espectacular and had the chance to see the sunset! The food was deliciooouuus and the service also exceed my expectations! If you are thinking of having a wedding in Chicago you must look at The Metropolitan Club!

Godinez, Director of Private Events, is amazing to work with; she is organized, prompt and accommodating. She and her staff worked tirelessly to make our wedding vision a reality. Wedding planning can be very stressful and her guidance helped bring down the anxiety. Our guests had a wonderful time and continue to tell us how they enjoyed the opportunity to go to the Skydeck (added bonus for our guests) and that the food was 'the best they've had at a wedding reception'. They also continue to rave about the view. Oh, that view. There are no words to express our gratitude to The Metropolitan Club for making our wedding beautiful, special and memorable.

acts every few months. Due to the constant turnover, it also led to a breakdown in communication among the Met Club employees. Otherwise - everything was fabulous.
