Bride Comments...

“Getting married in Union Station was nothing short of incredible. The rich history, beautiful atmosphere and ample space were one thing, but the true delight of this venue was the staff. They are professional, thorough in their communication and are willing to go above and beyond what is expected of them. Our big day went off without a hitch thanks to them!“

“My husband and I got married here on October 22, 2022 and I can honestly say everything was perfectly flawless! A complete dream! When I first saw the space in person, I couldn't believe we were lucky enough to snag that date! We had a 12-month engagement, and venues were filling up so quickly. We were struggling to find a venue with availability, and nothing we toured compared to here. We originally went to visit thinking it would be enough to convince me to push our date out…and I think we got lucky with someone's cancellation for an October weekend!! It was so magical because everything felt meant to be. From day one, we were working with Casey- I LOVE HER. She is so professional, so kind, so welcoming, so thorough, gave all kinds of tips based on her experience, was SO patient during the final crunch time decision. Her experience is obvious from the get go. She personally knows sooo many vendors whom all speak highly of her.“

“This helped us feel instantly comfortable sitting back and letting the experts run the show! The room flip was executed so flawlessly, I was seriously dying both times I saw the room for the first time (1st for ceremony, 2nd for reception). Stunning. We loved the food. Casey kept saying how much the chef pours into his menu for weddings, and it showed. All of the guests were so happy! Bar was also a hit! They have great alcohol selections in their packages, and the look/feel of the bar was also very fun. I agree with some of the other reviewers in advising that it's important to have a day of wedding coordinator (at a minimum). When signing a contract with the venue, they will advise this too. Casey's/Union Station's intake forms are very thorough in terms of the space and the room, we definitely felt prepared from that aspect. However, having an expert to manage timeline made everything extra perfect, and low stress.“

“My husband and I got married at the Illinois Street Ballroom and it was absolutely amazing! The staff here worked very hard to make sure out day was flawless. We did the buffet stations and were very happy with that as well. Also very thankful for having several days of storage leading up to the wedding. I couldn't say better things with working with Eva and her staff. She was very thorough and made sure to go over every detail so that we had a good timeline of the day“

“Eva with Union Station helped make our wedding truly a dream come true. The bartenders, wait staff, and hotel employees went above and beyond to take care of us and our guests. Not only is it such a unique venue, but the entire planning process was seamless and our day was perfect. They made the day EXTRA special. So many of guests also stated that it was the best wedding food they have ever had. Best day ever!!!“

“This venue was more than I could have dreamed of! It is so beautiful and has so much character. The wedding team at the venue knows what they are doing and make the planning process so easy. The food is delicious and the staff is wonderful.“

“Having our wedding at the Grand Hall was perfection! Eva and her team went above and beyond to make our day exactly what we hoped it would be. On top of it being such a beautiful space, they do not disappoint for food and drinks. We did the Diamond Stations for dinner and got SO many compliments that the food was “the best wedding food” our guests had ever had! My maid-of-honor said that the Grand Hall seems like a “no mistakes” kind of venue, and that is so true! My husband and I wanted to have a Polaroid camera with our guest book and when Eva and her team realized we had forgotten to give them batteries with the camera, she ran out and grabbed some. To me, that speaks volumes about the level of care and dedication you can expect from the events team at this venue. Eva checked in with Chris and I throughout the day to make sure we were happy, and we were! Cannot recommend this venue enough!“
