Lindsey of Lili Marie Parties is FANTASTIC! I live in San Diego, and planned a joint baby shower…read morefor a large party of family and friends at the Herbarium in Chicago. Lindsey was so creative and easy to work with. Her prices were the best. We came up with ideas for decorating the venue, table arrangements, and ideas for a kids activity table. She took care of the setup and takedown, and made everything look even better than we could have imagined. I would hire her for any party, and only wish she worked in San Diego! Thank you so much Lindsey- you're the BEST :)

Lil Marie's did a fantastic job making my daughters big day even better, Becka did a great job with everyone even the adults! There were tons of designs for the kids to choose from and I myself choose a Wolverine design that was very well done. Could've worn that design with pride at a Bears game WOW! Anyone looking for face painting for parties or for the tons of other things they have to offer I definitely suggest lil Marie's, design's were fantastic and our artist was very nice and professional thank you for making my little girls big day one she'll never forget you guys are the best.

We had a beautiful wedding day that we will cherish forever, but unfortunately, our experience with…read morethe venue and its management team was extremely disappointing. The venue itself is beautiful and has so much potential, but the lack of organization, communication, and professionalism made the planning process unnecessarily stressful. I would not recommend working with this team. Throughout the planning process, we found that the only way to get anything accomplished was to constantly follow up and hound the venue. Even then, things were often delayed, overlooked, or not completed as promised. The two business partners frequently seemed to be on completely different pages, and we received conflicting information depending on who we spoke with. We were specifically told that the room flip would take approximately 45 minutes. In reality, it took about an hour and a half. That delay pushed our entire wedding timeline back and resulted in additional costs because we had to extend the time for our photographer, videographer, and DJ. The space was also far too small for the number of guests we were told it could accommodate. The tables were placed so close together that guests could barely walk through the room, making the reception feel extremely cramped and uncomfortable. There were also issues with our personal wedding items. The venue damaged some of our decorator's decorations and failed to properly store our wedding cake in the refrigerator. These are not minor details when you are trusting a venue with expensive items and one of the most important days of your life. Perhaps most upsetting was how my mom was treated. After spending months having to repeatedly follow up to get things done, the venue coordinator referred to my mom as "PITA" -- "pain in the a**" -- simply because she was advocating for the wedding we were paying thousands of dollars to have. Expecting the venue to deliver what was promised and to execute the details correctly should not make a client a nuisance. To be clear, we had an amazing wedding day and will cherish it forever. Our family, friends, and vendors made sure of that. The venue is beautiful, and the day itself was special because of the people we surrounded ourselves with. But a beautiful space does not make up for poor organization, inconsistent communication, damaged property, mishandled wedding details, and a lack of professionalism. When couples spend thousands of dollars on their wedding venue, they should be able to expect competent coordination, clear communication, and respect. Unfortunately, that was not our experience. I strongly recommend couples considering this venue get every promise, timeline, capacity limit, responsibility, and detail in writing -- and be prepared to follow up repeatedly to ensure things actually happen.

What a venue! After searching for months, we selected Chez. The location could not be better with…read moreeasy access from airports, a ton of hotels for all price ranges within stumbling distance, and the venue is just amazing. Communication was always prompt and they even helped us select the right designers/catering for what we envisioned. The techs made custom graphics for the massive LED wall, custom light shows for our events, and assisted with everything we needed every step of the way. I cannot recommend Chez's enough! If you need to host a meeting, event, or WEDDING- this is your place!

This team is talented and has customer service down to a science. Thank you all for making my event so special.

Stacey knows how to put together an amazing event . I hired her for my son's recent bar mitzvah and…read moream so glad I did. She has impeccable taste and her attention to detail is remarkable. She is creative, organized, fun and easy to work with. She helped orchestrate the whole night and helped with service set up ( even designed and created our floral arrangements!) and helped with every detail of our celebration. While I knew we would have a fun party, Stacey's ideas and execution from start to finish made our event spectacular. Highly recommend!!!!

I call Stacey Moe the Energizer Bunny - she is unstoppable on the longest of days, never flagging…read morein energy, effort or creativity. We most recently hired Stacey for our daughter's bat mitzvah. From the very first meeting, she was creative, resourceful, and on top of all aspects of the party. Nothing was halfway. Even when I, long since tired of the planning process, declared something "good enough," Stacey came up with something better, a wow-factor that didn't stretch the budget. On the evening of the event, I didn't do a thing. Stacey never stopped moving, never missed a thing, and when it did occur to me to check on things, Stacey beat me to it by showing up with an update. What sets Stacey apart from the myriad event planners on the north shore is her range, adaptability and accessibility. She can do a lovely, refined bridal shower at the country club just as meticulously as a loud, techno party in a loft space. She never makes you feel like you need to spend more or do more than you'd planned. She doesn't push ideas. Stacey's so very fun and easy to work with, such an authentic person, it feels like planning a party with your best girlfriend, the one who knows all the best places and picks out the best centerpieces and has an amazing little source for favors that no one else has used - and is just as excited as you are about making it a great event.
