    People right next to people, no mask, no social distancing
    John S.

    Wanted to love this place but holy cow it's not being managed right during covid. Attended a concert last night because their website said social distancing protocol was in place. NOT EVEN CLOSE! Six seats to a table.. laughable. Try 8-10 no different than if there wasn't a pandemic. I will say the staff all wore mask. Maybe 4 others along with us but everyone else was crammed together for 3+hrs with about 2' in between at best. We were lucky enough to find a short wall to be by away from everyone. If not for that we would have left even though we were wearing mask. Going to be a lot of sick people in a couple weeks. That crowd should have been cut in 1/2! Food was very good, place is very nice but nothing in place like the website said that would keep you and loved ones social distanced from others a couple feet away. We will not be back unless they start limiting more people from attending. Also when you post on your website that you open at 6pm and people get there at 6pm and all available seating by concert stage are already occupied that's a problem. We saw numerous people complaining. Limit ticket sales and make it safe please. We have never minded crowds before but now we do until this virus passes.

    The tables were well organized and set up by the staff.

    I had my wedding at CD&ME on July 11th, 2015, and my husband and I had a truly wonderful experience. From the moment we walked in, we fell in love with the rustic-yet-elegant feel of the Loft location. I especially loved that we could use the outdoor gazebo for the ceremony and then be steps away from the indoor-outdoor reception area. The glass garage doors are beautiful, and all of the landscaping is professional and well-maintained. It was visually a stunning location. We really enjoyed working with Catherine for the planning. She was very professional, organized, and made us feel comfortable. My favorite part was how flexible everything was and how much they supported my slightly non-traditional requests. They also kept me on top of things, which was very helpful! When it came to the day of the wedding, we worked with the hostess Marni, who I adored. We had some drizzle right before the ceremony, but Marni watched the radar and we ended up being able to start right on time with no rain. She made sure the staff dried off the chairs and that everything was ready to go. During the reception, she made sure the vendors were being handled properly and that we stayed on time. I didn't hear any complaints! Overall, I had a really incredible wedding at CD&ME. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a unique venue in the Chicagoland area.

    Where do I begin? We had our wedding reception at The Mica at CD & Me and it was just the most perfect day!! The CD & Me team was fantastic and Catherine was so supportive and organized!! We had many guests tell us it was the best wedding venue they have been to!! The grounds are just amazing, everything is clean and well kept!! We had a total guest count of 190 and it was the perfect size venue for us to have lots of space, but it still felt intimate. Our dream wedding came to life and we are so grateful we chose CD & Me!!!

    I had my wedding here and it was incredible!! Catherine, Kathy, and Eva were beyond accommodating in planning the event and making sure everything went perfect...including allowing my dog in the ceremony. :) Our family and friends were absolutely blown away with how beautiful the loft was and how perfect everything was. I was over the moon that day and would pick CDandME again in a heartbeat!!!

    See all

We chatted on the phone first, then met up that week, and once more before the wedding. Tom knows what he's doing. He sets up a profile for you to fill out, but all in all, he says "trust me."

I gave three stars, because my husband and i weren't satisfied with the emceeing portion, which we feel is just as important during the reception. The emcee directs everyone's attention, makes announcements, introductions, etc. The flow of our evening had several moments of awkward silence during transitions and he wasn't enthusiastic. I wished he could have filled in the gaps with either mentioning who/what was next on the schedule, say some nice words, or was quicker with the dinner music transition. Our wedding coordinator felt he wasn't on the ball and could have been better. Again, the dancing music was great, but with all his experience I expected him to be a better emcee. Perhaps he was having an off night.

That should have been my first clue- lack of customer service and follow up. Finally got a quote of 175-200 for a planter and was told it would most likely be less. I received a text from owner, saying after plants were installed, my total was $540! I was told prior I would get a say or input on design choices when they were planted- the women came while I was gone, which is fine, but prior to that no options were given. Just a price- which I did approve. When I asked why this was so high I was told Two hours for labor and additional taxes. Really? My ring door bell shows she was here less than 20 min. I should have been informed there would be add ons (labor, taxes) during the quote. That would be the professional business and honest thing to do. Clearly the owner does not value my business because I was told to bring the plants back and leave them back the back door. What a waste of my time. Do not recommend this business for poor customer service and appreciation. Shame

Tiffany and Karen took over my event six weeks before the wedding. In that time, they reviewed plans with me, encouraged me and communicated in great detail with myself and vendors.

When it came time to select a wedding planner, we are so thankful that we recieved Events by Tiffany R as a referral. Tiffany and Karen planned our wedding as if they were envisioning an event for a family member or a friend. We are still in awe when we look back on everything they did for us, before and during the wedding. Without their help our special day would not have been picturesque event we dreamed of. I was very specific in my desires for my wedding and our planners tried as hard as possible to make that vision come to light. The decorations were superb. They were flexible with our families and our timelines. Their planning, preparation, and attention to detail was amazing. We appreciate them more than words can say. And a huge thanks for their thoughtful wedding gift of a surprise flower arrangement that was waiting for us. We thank them for being our wedding planner and coordinator.

We had a disaster on our hands when we had to move our ceremony location the DAY OF our wedding due to weather. Peter stepped in to be not only our wedding DJ but also our ceremony sound technician. He came in two hours earlier than planned (in horrendous traffic, I might add), downloaded ALL our ceremony music, and made sure we had speakers and microphones waiting for us at the new ceremony venue. He went above and BEYOND to make sure our ceremony went off without a hitch (or WITH a hitch, actually!). During the reception, he was great with the crowd, kept people dancing, and even knew all the popular crowd dances when a few people asked him to play Cupid Shuffle and the Wobble. The pre-wedding process was also wonderful. I was planning my own wedding remotely (I live in LA but got married in Chicago), and Peter was organized and extremely communicative, working with us months before the event to nail down every detail from the playlist and special dance song selections to wedding toasts and wedding party introductions - all to make sure the event was just right.
