I booked them after seeing them DJ for years at other events and at pubs. The service they provide is unmatched. They do everything they can to make you happy. They have an extensive music collection, but if there are any songs that they don't have, they will get them for you. They have an especially large Irish music collection. When we worked with Jim, he met with us on three different occasions to make sure we got exactly what we wanted.

The reason for that was because I was so concerned that I needed to control the entire DJ process. I feel the music and flow the DJ produces at an event is the most important factor that creates the entire experience. After meeting with you, Kristen and I both agreed you were perfect. I couldn't have been happier with how you took control and put our minds at ease during such a hectic time. We both felt you exceeded our expectations and would highly recommend you to everyone. I can't tell you how much we appreciate you making our wedding perfect and exactly how we imagined it. We truly had a blast and have amazing memories of Music, Dancing and awesome lights!"

I've been to two different events here at the Ritz. The venue itself is beautiful, food is good,…read more but SOME staff need to learn basic customer service and manners. The first event I attended a server was upset that there were so many guests (some dressed in ball gowns) that she started complaining that she can't do her job. OUT LOUD while serving guests their food. The second event I've attended, our server who is very sweet, simply forgot four plates for the main course at our table. We waited very patiently but she was busy. We waived one server, she said that they will make their way around. We waited more and our server didn't come back with the plates. I'd like to mention that all the food for the main course was on the table. I just stood by the door to only ask for plates since we've been waiting. The first server brushed me off and didn't let me finish my sentence and said "ask your waitress okay?" , another guest at my table asked a different server and she went to the kitchen just to come back empty handed to look at the table that's missing plates when it's clear that they're missing. I told her we're missing four plates and she's says "I KNOW", used a calm down gesture and shook her head at me. They took so long with plates that one of the guests at the table just ended up using the saucer plate to start eating. As I said earlier, SOME staff need improvement. I wish the servers had name tags.

As with most Wedding Planners and Event Managers - we are very focused on finding the ideal venue,…read morewhich will help us to deliver a beautiful and memorable event for our clients. Our first impression upon arriving at The Cotillion Banquets in Palatine, IL - for an upcoming wedding venue selection visit, was the grand and opulent exterior and ample parking lot. Our team from Luxe Décors and Events, LLC, was greeted by George, the director and information specialist on everything you hoped for, wanted and envisioned to happen, at The Cotillion Banquets in Palatine, IL. George is beyond warm, pleasant, professional, knowledgeable, charming, gracious, efficient, and oh so very skilled at listening to what you would like to accomplish for the event, that you have been hired to do. We hit it off with George IMMEDIATELY upon meeting him. He took us on a guided tour of The Cotillion Banquets, explaining to us in measured detail, what was at our disposal, to ensure that we would be able to do everything that we had planned, and be able to provide our clients - the wedding of their dreams, with regards to their décor and wedding theme. The staff at The Cotillion, under George's dedicated, experienced and genuine love and pride for what he has been doing for so many, many years - also reflects the outstanding service provided by everyone at The Cotillion Banquets. The kitchen staff, is beyond kind, truly professional and obviously loves what they do. The table settings were impeccable. The food - all freshly prepared by The Cotillion staff - is simply AMAZING !!! When we first arrived to meet with George and get to see what The Cotillion had to offer - we had already been informed about the superb level of service and the first class menu selections. The Cotillion DID NOT DISAPPOINT. We were also introduced to the owners of The Cotillion, who were also so genuinely kind and considerate, obviously wanting to also ensure, that we knew they were available, should we have any additional concerns. The Cotillion Banquets in Palatine will forever be Number One on our recommendation list for any and all events, which we are privileged to manage. We cannot say enough about ALL that George did to make this wedding event so beautiful, memorable, classy and successful. No matter how skilled, talented, or experienced an Event Planner is - without directors such as George at the venue site - who can offer their kindness, experience and support - an event will not be as successful and seamless as you may have envisioned. We at Luxe Décors and Events, LLC, are eternally grateful to you George, your staff and the owners - at The Cotillion Banquets in Palatine - for your genuine friendship, guidance and assistance, in helping to make the wedding event on November 22, 2024, the elegant success that it was. THANK YOU GEORGE, FOR MAKING OUR JOB SEAMLESSLY SUCCESSFUL!! Bravo to you George and a special toast as well to you and Everyone at The Cotillion Banquets.

The most recent was yesterday, where we had additional guests confirm last minute for a party and needed a tent for outside to accommodate additional people. I called the same day and they were able to perform a miracle and come setup a 10x20 tent for us. This is not something they regularly do, but they were able to make it happen and we were extremely grateful. They came by to pick it up this morning. So easy and a nice setup. I highly recommend.

Would not reccomend. Guess somebody else will take care of our company outings.

My child sung alongside to her favorite Princesses songs, greeted with open arms and hugs was a dream for her! With all the activities and engagement the Princesses stayed in character thee entire time and you can tell they were gladly to put a smile on our little one's faces! The Princesses were truly AMAZING! It was a two hour cap for the event which stated in the purchased tickets. Professional pictures were also available for pre orders only. A group photo with all the Princesses was a MUST, and we did! Also there were cute princess accessories and a stuffed animal available for purchase during the event. The event was jaw dropping for all the girls and for us parents it felt great to see our little ones so excited! My kid even thank me during the event! What a day for a Princess!

My husband and I highly recommend LK Events. Carolyn F. was our wedding planner and she is…read morephenomenal. She was perfect for our wedding at Chicago Illuminating Company. Carolyn is detail-oriented, patient and smart. Our wedding had a lot of customization and details that required a planner that was highly organized. Wedding planning for an engaged couple is practically a second job in itself, but Carolyn made sure that planning was seamless and stress-free. Every single phone call, email, and meeting was managed efficiently and with ease. She is also very mindful of your stylistic needs while remaining within your budget. There will be no surprises when it comes down to your final numbers, as Carolyn clearly lists out your costs, using excel sheets comparing different vendor quotes, for you to consider. Furthermore, she even highlights these differences in a quick summary email to make the price analysis more efficient for you. One very important factor of our wedding was the food and stylistic presentation. I wanted mini beverage pairings with mini lobster rolls, mini gyros, etc. Carolyn handled our requests seamlessly with our caterer and every single idea was executed flawlessly, and deliciously. To show you even further, how Carolyn doesn't miss ANY detail, the day before the wedding, I asked Carolyn to place custom blankets on my seat and my husband's seat as a surprise to my husband. The blankets had quotes we say to each other. Low and behold, they were sitting nicely on both of our chairs. There are many planners, but not every planner can catch every single detail. Carolyn truly does not miss a thing and you will have nothing to worry about! I cannot recommend her enough!
