Hyland Hills Ski Area Reviews

What a great team to work with! We had 200 guest and the space was amazing. The decor was minimal because we had the beautiful windows!!! 10/10 would recommend!

My husband and I had our wedding reception at Hyland Hills on 9/10/22 and it was truly the best venue we could have asked for! We toured numerous other venues (all at a much higher price) before finding everything we wanted and more (at the most reasonable rate!) at Hyland Hills. We were able to see the space in person several times, had great communication with the staff, everything was timely, and we also were given several helpful planning guides/resources that made planning our reception very easy. Both during and quite some time after our wedding, we received SO many compliments about the venue - everyone loved how open and spacious it was, the wonderful outdoor space - overall truly such a beautiful spot to have a wedding reception. I have highly recommended it to other people and will continue to do so!

Suzanne and her team were so easy to work with and made it so easy for all of us. Make it easy...let them worry!

Hyland Hills was the best location. It is absolutely beautiful in the summer and the people are so wonderful to work with. They accommodated us so well and went out of their way to show us that our event was important to them despite the fact that they have plenty of other events as well. Suzanne made all of our dreams come true for our perfect set up and was quick to find solutions to any issues that came up. She was an absolute doll!! I recommend Hyland Hills 11/10

Hyland Hills was one of the first places we thought of since we had been to a wedding there and loved it. The space is beautiful, including the outdoor space and especially the huge floor to ceiling windows, plenty of parking, and Suzanne and her staff are incredible to work with. They have a huge list of caterers to choose from that will fit within all budgets, more so than any other venue we visited, and they don’t nickel and dime you for each little thing—all costs were straightforward and extremely affordable. We loved working with Hyland Hills and would choose them again every time!

We can't say enough good things about Hyland Hills! Suzanne and her team were amazing. We had our ceremony off site at Richardson Nature Center (same park district) and had the reception at Hyland. We loved the layout of this venue with the floor to ceiling windows overlooking the ski hill, rain or shine (we had both) it was stunning! The patio and lawn space were great options for guests to get some fresh air during the reception. We did very little decorating–this space doesn't even need any decorations. We received so many compliments from our family and friends on the space, and are so grateful to have had our wedding at Hyland Hills!

We had our ceremony outside on the lawn and reception inside at Hyland Hills! We received so many compliments on the venue, with the gorgeous hill, beautiful windows, and just the amount of space the venue has. There is a patio for guests with lights that are strung and a fire pit. The bathrooms are a fantastic size. There’s incredibly easy parking- all things that were important to us when selecting a venue.

Working with Suzanne was fantastic! I was a very DIY bride, and the space and Suzanne really allowed for my vision to come to life.

We got married at Hyland Hills Ski Chalet on 9/1/18 and we couldn’t have asked for a more amazing experience. The stunning views of the ski hill and city skyline are truly breathtaking and were more than memorable to us and our guests. This venue is relaxing, affordable, beautiful (both indoors & outdoors) and easy to work with. Suzanne and the Hyland Hills staff went above and beyond to ensure that everything we dreamed of on our wedding day was turned into a reality.

My husband and I were lucky enough to have our wedding reception at Hyland Hills this summer. I was so pleased with how quickly the staff answered questions and made our day so special. We received so many compliments on the gorgeous venue with huge windows and views, indoor/outdoor spaces, and the new chalet. I’m so thankful for Hyland Hills and their staff!

My fiance and I were scheduled to have our wedding here this July. When we originally toured the facility, we felt at home right away. The large windows allow a TON of natural light - seriously, if that's your thing, you need to check this out! - and showcase the green hills, but the internal wooden structure and exposed pipe also provide an industrial vibe. It is a large venue that will comfortably host a bigger wedding but could be downsized without drowning a smaller party.

Unfortunately, we had to reconfigure our wedding due to COVID-19, so our celebration this summer will look different that planned. But what I would really like to say about Hyland is that Suzanne and her team are PHENOMENAL. After working with many vendors during the planning - and then re-planning process - I can confidently say that they have level of responsiveness and flexibility that is not common in the wedding industry. Hyland is not only a gorgeous venue, but will minimize your wedding planning stress!

We had our wedding reception here and it was amazing! It is a beautiful venue and in a convenient location. There was ample free parking, bathrooms, and overall space for all of our guests.

The large windows and beautiful scenery allows for minimal decorations needed which is a huge plus. They provide a dance floor.

Hyland is a HUGE venue and with our guest count of 95, we were afraid that the space would be too big, but it worked out perfectly and it felt like the perfect size!

Prices are comparable to other venues in the area. You have to choose from a list of caterers, but the list was actually a good place to start and had some great options.

We would definitely recommend Hyland for your wedding reception!

Hyland Hills was an absolutely gorgeous venue and from the moment we walked in the door, we were in love! Working with Suzanne was so great and she answered all of my questions quickly and professionally. Many of our guests commented on how beautiful the venue was, and our pictures showed that off so well! Our guests especially loved the patio outdoors and the lawn games. We did an indoor ceremony so we didn't have to rent chairs and were very happy with that choice.

The only thing I would say is that while the price looks very affordable, be careful on the alcohol prices. They are very high and then they add a 20% service fee on top of it. Not a deal breaker for us, but something I feel is important to point out.

Overall, it was the perfect space for our big day and fit our needs so well!
