who would get things done. Your recommendations from day one were excellent. The food was fabulous, the room looked great, and everything else in general about the Hyatt went very

were perfect and beat out every other hotel in the city. During the reception, our guests could not stop talking about how wonderful the view of the city was from the Crystal Ballroom. We 

wanted our guests to get the whole Chicago experience, so seeing the Wrigley building and the river from the window of our wedding was a treat for everyone. The food and service were 

phenomenal. I still don’t understand when brides say they don’t remember the food at their wedding because I remembered and savored every bite. The service was timed perfectly so that you 

were never waiting for the next course but you also never felt rushed to finish your current course. Rebecca had a huge part in making our wedding perfect. She is extremely organized and 

very passionate about her job, which would make any bride-zilla calm and cool for her wedding day. Throughout the wedding planning process she was always available and accommodating so 

once the wedding came along, I didn’t worry about anything and just enjoyed my time!"

"I wanted to say thank you for everything. The wedding was a big success and people really enjoyed the stations. The room looked beautiful and the food was excellent and nicely presented and 

served. In spite of the delay due to the flowers, you kept everything moving along smoothly without missing a beat. That is the hallmark of a good manager. Everyone at the Hyatt is to be 

commended on their positive attitude with their customers. When we arrived, there was a long wait for check in but it went very swiftly. The rooms were immaculate and well appointed and 

many of the employees greeted us during the day. I thought a hotel this large would be very impersonal but that was certainly not the case. Kudos to you and congratulations to the Hyatt 

Corporation and all those who work for them." 

Lynn Winikates, 2011 mother of the groom 

We held our wedding reception in in July 2011, and to this day we could not be happier with how everything turned out! Rebecca and her team were fantastic—from the initial meeting to the 

big day itself. Everything went smoothly, on time, and with so little hassle to us, and Rebecca had great suggestions for pacing the event and room design. The ballroom looked beautiful, and 

we are still getting compliments from guests about the elegance of the event. The meal and bar service were both terrific, satisfying everyone from meat-eaters to vegetarians to gluten-free 

eaters. What an amazing place to hold a reception!
