Carleton of Oak Park Hotel

The Carleton is the crown jewel of wedding and party venues in Oak Park. Just steps from the Lake Street “L,” the Carleton provides an atmosphere of true elegance and warmth. The Grand Ballroom, with its 12-foot ceilings, can accommodate weddings and events of up to 200 guests. Start with an indoor wedding ceremony, then repair to the Plaza Bar and Library for cocktails, then back to the ballroom for a sumptuous meal and dancing.

Your bridal party has the use of its own exclusive suite; out-of-town guests will enjoy preferred pricing on overnight accommodations; and each couple enjoys a complimentary tasting of the Carleton’s world-class cuisine.

The service is personal and attentive, and you’ll be able to choose your menu and the layout of the ballroom for your special night. A hearty thumbs-up for the Carleton.

To complete your perfect day, choose professional Chicago wedding DJ entertainment by Fourth Estate Audio. Here’s what the client in these photos had to say about Fourth Estate on Wedding Wire:

I am beyond pleased that we picked Jay Congdon from Fourth Estate Audio for our wedding DJ services! The preparation process is very organized via an easy to use online process. Jay is extremely responsive to any and all questions as you prepare for your big day although he is so organized that you might not have too many if you follow his preparation forms. More than the upfront preparation, I truly can’t express my thanks for Jay’s organization on the day of the wedding. He worked closely with the venue planner to ensure the day went smoothly. Most importantly, the sound was great and the music had everyone dancing the entire night away! Fourth Estate Audio exceeded all my expectations when it came to DJ services!
