I've been a GNO fan for years! I visited the Chicago location a handful of times, participated…read morevirtually in Game Night In during COVID and last weekend had a game night with friends at the new Hoffman Estates location. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint! The new location within the Bell Works Chicagoland campus is a thing of beauty. The design aesthetic is what you would expect from a high end brand like GNO and the best part is that they make it feel inviting and like home. Just like at home, we kicked off the evening in the kitchen area greeting friends and ordering drinks. I really liked that we had the option to cater food through a GNO catering partner or coordinate a pot luck amongst our friends. The hosts were amazing and it was an honor to have the man, the myth, the legend Alex live and in person with us! I am not the type to break out a board game for fun, but my friends and I agreed that GNO is on a different level and has a game to meet the knowledge, interest and physical ability of every player. 2 hours of fun, games and laughs flew by and each of our friends who attended for the first time were raving about their evening and how they were planning to tell their friends, family, and employers about GNO. It is obvious that the owners (Brandon & Aaron) have dedicated their time and talent to curating a unique experience that brings families and friends together. If you are interested in a game night but don't want to go through the hassle of hosting, GNO to the rescue!

My complaint about this place is this... I did not have my event here I ended up canceling because…read moreme and my husband had been layed off from our jobs months ago so we decided to cancel. Mind you we cancelled a year in advance you would think that's enough time for them to book a new event but no they did not refund our deposit. Our event was booked for August 9, 2025 we canceled April 2024.... The place we put a deposit for the dress, The decorator, the choreographer all gave our deposits back because we cancelled well in advance. Oh no not Sai Banquet. They only said if they book the date then they will refund our money... how convenient right. People there is other places that will take $250 to book an event this place takes $2000 non refundable. That is our fault for even doing that. Before you consider this place be super sure or book closer to your date because if something unfortunate happens they WILL NOT give your money back... Don't get me wrong they were nice but it did leave a bad taste in our mouth that we were out that much money...

Sai Banquest recently went through ownership change. It previously used to be Amor Banquet…read more Amit, the owner of Sai Banquet, has been in this business for years, and you can tell he is really experienced. When we were looking to host a party, we reached out to Amit. He called us to his office and went through every detail possible. He became our party planner more than the businessman trying to sell me stuff. We had several dietary restrictions (vegan, gluten-free, Jain, nut allergies), and Amit made sure all requirements were met. Amit worked with us on accommodating based on party size. The food was from Flambe India restaurant, which is our favorite Indian restaurant in Chicago. The hall is very nice with multi colored LED lights in the ceiling. They have a big dance floor in the middle of the room with a small stage up front and a small host room in the back. They have a big sitting area outside and a hallway for food. The place can easily hold 200 guests and is perfect for any kind of party. Overall, we had a great experience where we, as a host, just walked in and walked out without worrying.

I reached out and had an initial consultation call for my wedding in June. After the call, I was…read moretold I would receive a proposal, but more than two weeks passed without anything being sent. I followed up and was told I would receive the proposal by the end of the day, but I never heard back. I reached out multiple times over the following two weeks to everyone I had been in contact with and did not receive a single response. This lack of communication was extremely disappointing and felt unprofessional for a service costing $5,000+. I would not feel confident hiring a vendor who communicates this poorly for such an important event.

Over the course of 10 months, I spoke to Henna regularly where she told me about her planning services, day of coordination, and decor in extreme detail. She was reliable and understood what the vision was that my sister wanted for her wedding. She was quick to respond, transparent with pricing, and very accommodating to our budget. As we started exceeding our budget, Henna came up with multiple ideas to help cut costs and repurpose items to help us remain comfortable with our vision and pricing while also remaining true to the vision we had curated over the year of planning. Henna and her team exceeded our expectations and are so glad we went with her services when deciding on a vendor that we felt comfortable with. We are excited to use her services in the future.

She was able to handle the chaos and manage when food went in and came out to make sure dinner and apps were warm and on time. She even carved my Turkey. Above the work I asked her to do her suggestions on how to make things more effecient were very helpful.

Be Our Guest Event services researched several venues and resorts for me to visit, while simultaneously planning every inch of the entire weekend. After deciding on Bacara Resort we chose to give my guests their own bit of down time along with an incredibly planned out day for my wedding. My wedding day consisted of an amazing brunch on a veranda overlooking the ocean followed by 2 custom painted school buses that took us on a wine tasting adventure to 5 wineries. It was a day of fun and celebration and an incredible weekend of relaxation with family and friends. Tammie took care of every inch of planning my wedding- down to even my "something blue" so I didn't have to think, not to mention tactfully endured any stress that comes with a wedding. Tammie's selections in music vendors, flowers, etc. made the final choices for me a breeze as she knew exactly what I was looking for and most importantly, listened to my requests. My friends and family still talk about my wedding as being the most fun wedding they have ever attended. I give most of that to my hostess with the mostess!! The team not only took all the pressure and worry off of me with such an important and stressful time, but had this infectious energy they brought to my party . Thank you Tammie! I will be back with something else exciting for you to plan.
