When the room is set up for an event, especially in the evening, it is beautiful. The only challenge here is the parking. The small lot doesn't hold enough cars and parking along the dark side streets can be challenging and unsafe to walk, due to uneven sidewalk surfaces. I cannot imagine making this walk when it is icy or slippery out. Valet parking here can be an issue too with long lines to wait for service. I wish there was a better solution to parking. The food here is pretty tasty, as banquet places go. Prices are reasonable too.

Nope, and instead I ended up circling around. But sure, enough, make a right when the GPS tells you too. Ignore that the car dealership is there, and pay attention to the fact there's a giant sign letting you know Vogelei Park is there. We had a barbecue at one of the seating areas with a roof and it was OK. The engineers who designed and created the shelter's roof apparently didn't like the sunrise, as the way it was angled, the unusual early June 90-degree heat and sun shone right on us during the early evening. After it got dark, the shelter had lights that illuminated, which was a bummer. Overall though, it's a great place to consider for a BBQ. BATHROOM REVIEW: Located in the building, the bathrooms were good, for a public park bathroom. It had a couple of urinals and stalls. Sit or squat? Squat.

HIDDEN PARK ALERT!! HIDDEN GEM ALERT!…read more When the sun came out one afternoon after a cloudy, dreary week, I knew I had to find some outdoor spot to frolic about in. Since I was in Palatine at the time, and wanted to go home to Roselle without driving too far out of my way, I pulled up the Yelp app and typed in "park." Too many places popped up, none were what I was looking for. So I tried, "zoo." One of the first things to pop up was the Northern Illinois Raptor Center. What!? I did a quick search on what it was, expected there was some kind of magical owl zoo somewhere, and headed out this way. The drive to this park is very easy to miss. I did miss it, and had to do a long turn about through a neighborhood to get back to the entrance, which is located off of Higgins at the intersection of Golf, in between a couple car dealerships. The easiest way to find it is to look for the Hoffman Estates Park District sign and turn RIGHT THERE. Then you'll see a barn at the end of the drive and a park. Whew. I got out of my car, walked over to the barn and older building, found locked doors, wandered over to a map, scanned the map, saw absolutely no mention of any raptors or owls or birds, and decided, "Screw it, I'll just go walk around the park since I'm already here." Fortunately, my disappointment was quickly dissolved after one leisurely lap around the park. Here's what Vogelei has: - A pond that's part of the Bio Swale Water Quality Initiative. I'm still not quite clear on what it is, but it's a water system that cleans storm water runoff of man-made chemicals while providing a habitat for animals and helping the environment. Whatever it was, it sounded and looked awesome -- grassy, marshy areas, a walking path, a picturesque bride and gazebo. And white birds with long legs that fly away when I try to take pictures (darn bird). - A rose garden. Not a very big rose garden, but it's a nice little rose garden with blooms bigger than my hand. I kid you not. Crazy giant flowers. - Lots of grassy areas for picnicking, hooping, and running around like crazy. The park district also holds concerts (mainly for kids) here sometimes. - A playground jungle gym that's shaped like a barn. Sweet. - A splash pad!! It's basically a large, squishy pad with sprinklers. It's turned on during the day -- all you have to do is press down on one of the buttons on the padded surface to activate the water that shoots up. Yes, there is a chance you could get wet doing this. It's fun. Take it from this lady with the crazy hair (oh, what a sight that must have been)! - A conifer garden: an area with a bunch of tiny pine tree bushes. - Safety town. One of those little set-ups where kids can ride their tiny bikes around a little town and learn how to be safe when they cross the street and all that fun stuff. - The barn. Apparently the barn holds some kind of banquet room that you can rent for events. Cool. The park district's summer camp also uses the building for the kids -- I kind of felt like a creep walking in there. Not sure what that other, seemingly abandoned building was for. I probably spent a good forty-five minutes lurking around the park. Not bad. Still no awesome owl zoo, though. Disappointed, I left and wrote this review. As I was finishing up this review earlier this morning, I decided I really needed to go back and find that mysterious magical bird zoo before finishing this review! Back I went... and instead of an empty park, I was greeting with a full parking lot and tons of camp kids. Definitely not the kind of scene for aimless wandering with a camera. Fortunately, someone pointed me in the direction of the raptor center... YES! IT EXISTS! ... which was in a cluster of tiny house-like buildings, surrounded by a fence to keep people out. There were no birds. The birds will be on display later this year or something. Bummer, but so glad I figured out this mystery! SO. This definitely isn't your typical suburban neighborhood park. I won't go out of my way to come back here again (OK, maybe I will -- because I already did), but if I'm in the area and looking for a quiet park to hang out in, I'd re-visit. Nice job, Hoffman Estates.

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.

Wedding Review. We…read morerecently used MDM Entertainment for hung bistro lights in our wedding reception space at Walden Chicago. We were extremely impressed with the company's professionalism throughout the entire planning process! From the staff who answered our emails to those that hung up the lights the day of, everyone was extremely helpful and assisted in making our special day run smoothly. We got married on a Friday and had the option to split the cost of the lighting package with the couple getting married on the following day-this was a great alternative that the company offered us! If you are looking to add some extra flare to your event space (especially those brides/grooms getting married in a loft/industrial space!), we would highly recommend looking into MDM Entertainment!

This florist even delivered the flowers in a well-packaged manner to the front desk of the hotel. First and foremost, the leis were absolutely gorgeous! The aroma and arrangements did not go unnoticed. The scent of Jasmine was mesmerizing! The facility employees, other graduates, the dean, the school faculty, and the photographers all stopped to comment on the aroma and beauty of the flowers. The photographers asked to take multiple photographs. "Those are the most beautiful arrangements I've ever seen." "WOW! Those are gorgeous!" Trust me, there were so many other compliments Manoj and Indian Wedding Flowers & More made the day so special; I can't thank them enough. Their beautiful arrangements added a touch of elegance and joy to the event, and the graduate was over the moon with the arrangement and felt truly special. Their service truly made a difference. I highly recommend Indian Wedding Flowers & More!!!!
