Venues We Love: The Ritz-Carlton Chicago – A Four Seasons Hotel

Posted on April 23, 2013 by Amy Ottman

Amy and Shar went to visit the Ritz-Carlton and it was fabulous!

We wanted to share our visit with you.  Upon entering the Michigan Avenue hotel we boarded the beautifully decorated elevator to take us up the 12th floor lobby.

What we loved most about this venue were all the chandeliers throughout the space.  In each elevator, ballroom, and lobby, everywhere you looked there was a crystal chandelier beautifully placed.

Ballroom

The main ballroom holds anywhere from 350-620 guests.  Underneath one of the largest chandeliers in the world you can have your ceremony then your reception after.   With large windows that are wrapped around the ballroom, you will have an unforgettable experience.

Parking

There is valet parking available for guests.

What makes it special?

The venue is the perfect space that can be transformed into your dream wedding.  It is open and ready, if you have the vision, it can be done.

Happy Friday Citygirls!  Damask was popular a few years back and most recently the Chevron pattern is in.  Until the next thing comes along, we’re happy to indulge in our Chevron obsession.
