We had an unexpected rain delay, which meant our guests arrived at the house early while the team was still trying to set up the bar, food, and everything else. I'm sure it was stressful behind the scenes, but you would never have known it. They stayed calm, professional, flexible, and jumped in wherever they were needed. Once the rain cleared, we were able to get everyone over to the park for our ceremony, and the team kept everything running smoothly back at the house. They were attentive throughout the entire party and also did an amazing job cleaning everything up afterward. Having them there allowed me to actually enjoy our celebration instead of worrying about all the details. I was so grateful for each of them and would absolutely recommend Carol's team for any special event. Thank you for helping make our day so special!

The event staff were professional, polished, and extremely attentive to detail. The bartenders ran smooth, efficient bars and maintained a great presence with guests, while the service staff were proactive, organized, and truly elevated the overall experience. It's clear that Carol takes pride in sending high-quality people who understand hospitality at a high level. Reliable, professional, and easy to work with--I highly recommend Carol's staffing company for any event where service and execution matter.

Wantz Events placed great and thorough rigor into the planning process, researching and presenting only the very best solutions to meet our desired outcomes. The team's professionalism and attention to service really gave us the confidence in our plan. The team delivered the advanced planning, communication prep, location and vendor management. Throughout the live event, the team was onsite, ensuring our plan and vision were achieved with excellent service and management. After the event, the team reviewed our feedback and any follow-up / closure needs. Our event was on-time, under-budget and dubbed by our CEO as "spectacular." We could not have delivered such an outcome without the partnership and leadership of Wantz Events! Thank you, Wantz Events!! Excited to work together again, real soon!

We chose Chez to be our wedding reception location in June 2018 and booked it during summer of…read more2017. The online scheduler to view the place was super convenient! The place is breathtaking, and ceilings are very high. Additionally, it is located close to Michigan avenue. With majority of our guests being out of town, this was a huge plus! Chez is a like a white canvas, you can make whatever you want of it. Due to the recommendations from our designers, we decided to use lights as our main form of décor, and it worked like a charm. Chez accommodated all of our needs and was one of the few places that was willing to be open till 2am if we needed it (we used it till 1am). The rental also included beautiful ghost chairs and large rectangular tables. The staircase provides a different touch from the rest of the places we saw, and we got to make a grand entrance walking down. The views from up there are also amazing as you can get a bird's eye view of the place. Lauren was of great help. She was very open to our ideas and always open to accommodate anything we needed. She also made herself and the place available whenever we needed to come by and see the place or show the place to our family and friends (which was a few times throughout the year). Her communications were prompt. She helped make our reception go smoothly.

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.

Our event took place and we are not the happiest with the service. The bartender that was provided…read moredid show up early to setup for the event which was awesome, however A few things would've made our event perfect but, had a lot of complaints throughout the night and when you are hosting the bar should be the last thing to worry about when you hire a company. The bartender that was provided was NOT knowledgeable about the 4 speciality cocktails that we picked from your list. Every time a guest wanted one of the drinks he had to Google the recipe on how to make it, which made the line long at some point throughout the night. He also was asking the host for other ingredients that were not on the inventory list provided in the booking process. At another point of the night he asked the host what was "Brandy". A consistent sanitary method of getting ice would have been very considerate seeing as through you are serving guest and should not be using your hand to grab ice. At a point in the night we were very tempted to ask him to leave and we would've figured out the rest of the night but, do to the fact we had guest there and we honored our contract, we just left it alone to make it through the party. There was also a moment to where we had to ask him to get back to the bar to make drinks as he was up making a plate of food a couple of times throughout the night. The invoice that was sent to us is incorrect. Our balance should only be $187.50. Once we get the corrected version, we will make that payment. Lastly, we were impressed in the beginning of our booking with the level of communication we received which is why we chose to book you all. As we got closer to the day of the event, we reached out via email and thumbtack for an update and check in and never received a response from our reaching out. It would've been nice to speak to the bartender before the day of.
