Throughout the entire wedding planning process, there was never bad experience. Communication was clear and we could not be more happy the day of having the most confidence that everything was handled. It was clear that everyone involved truly cared about making our night so special. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone considering! The convenience of the entire weekend was also huge weight lifted off of our shoulders when it came to planning.

In 2000, The City of Bloomington formed the Bloomington Cultural District to assume ownership of the Consistory and surrounding properties to shepherd it through a restoration.

My husband and I had our wedding here in March of 2022 and it was INCREDIBLE. Brian and the staff are amazing to work with and I would highly recommend this venue if you are wanting a beautiful blank slate wedding venue to work with that allows for you to pick and choose your own outside vendors! We used palace events for rentals to completely transform the space.

The Barrel Room

5.0

Normal, IL
  • Up to 175 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $7,000

An area once reserved solely for the practical application of aging beers, and on occasion for private beer dinners, we opened up this space for guests to host private events such as ceremonies, receptions, showers & rehearsal dinners. Located within DESTIHL Brewery, the Barrel Room is where you’ll find something unique. Our modern-industrial space is perfect for the craft beer experience, a place where you’ll be greeted with our warm hospitality, and an experience unlike any other in Central Illinois.

We really cannot recommend our experience with DESTIHL enough! We planned both an outdoor ceremony on the grounds, and our reception in the Barrel Room, and felt like we had the most wonderful wedding day with friends and family (especially impressive during the COVID-19 period). You simply cannot beat the quality of food and bar offerings that DESTIHL offers to its guest. That, accompanied by the exceptional service of all the staff we worked with on our big day, really made it such an easy day for us. The cherry on top of the service, is that the staff allowed for us to pull vehicles into a garage bay to leave our reception as it was pouring rain outside - they truly went above and beyond. We are so excited to be working with them again next year, for our full reception for our first anniversary!

A century-old building that was once a thriving coat factory is now a thoroughly modern space that is customizable for a truly memorable event.

The venue itself looks very deceiving and small from the outside. However, the cocktail room and reception room are beautiful and elegant. Gabrielle, our day of coordinator, was an absolute pleasure to work with. She made our day go so smoothly, and we never had to worry about anything going wrong. She truly cares about her job and clients, and it shows in her beautiful work. The food was very good, and I am a harsh critic when it comes to wedding food. Multiple guests have came up to us stating that the venue was beautiful and food great. We could have not asked for a better place to host our special day.

Dana, the coordinator, assured me to not stress over details because that was her job and she totally delivered on that promise. Dan is the owner and he actually married us in a really beautiful ceremony. We were all so pleased with how things turned out that my mom even booked her 60th birthday there 6 weeks after our wedding. We cannot say enough good things about the Public Landing!

City Hall Events

5.0

Chicago, IL
  • Up to 225 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor

Located in Chicago’s popular West Loop neighborhood, we offer an unparalleled choice for weddings. The building’s industrial character is preserved with touch points inspired by historic municipal buildings, while classic details and finishes enhance the space’s timeless decor. Skylights run the length of the building and bathe the space in natural light, accentuating the intricate iron trusses and exposed brick original to the structure. Refined finishes such as laser-cut art deco steel panels, a 37-foot marble bar bring a modern industrial look to the space. The adjunct bar, named Recess, is the perfect location for cocktail hour or post reception celebration. Awash in natural light, the dining room is anchored by a 40-foot wooden bar. The roll-top glass-paneled garage doors open directly onto the massive patio which is surrounded by shipping containers, creating a playful West Loop paradise. In the middle of the patio, a square raised platform can act as a center-stage.

City Hall, our wedding venue, deserves all the stars in the universe! I'm absolutely thrilled to share our experience because it was nothing short of magical. First things first, everyone at City Hall is not just good but utterly fantastic. Shoutout to Mandy – she's not your typical coordinator; she's more like your enthusiastic partner in crime. Mandy's bubbly, responsive, and oh-so-much-fun to work with. She made the whole wedding planning journey feel like a breeze, and we genuinely felt like we were planning our special day with a friend. Now, let's talk about flexibility. City Hall didn't just accommodate our needs; they welcomed them with open arms. I must've visited the venue a dozen times for the quirkiest, most random requests, and every time, they were like, "No problem, we've got you!" Going the extra mile? Absolutely. And here's the icing on the cake – City Hall has these incredible relationships with other wedding vendors. Our other vendors absolutely adored working with them, and it added this amazing synergy to the whole event. Everything just fell into place seamlessly. In summary, City Hall is a dream come true for wedding venues, and I wouldn't hesitate to do it all over again just to work with them. Their team, especially Mandy, turned our special day into something out of a fairytale. If you're on the hunt for a venue that offers professionalism, flexibility, and a team that feels like family, look no further than City Hall. They're the wedding venue of your dreams, trust me!

Step into Belvedere Events & Banquets and be welcomed by the subtle elegance of what our facility has to offer you on your wedding day. Each room is turn-key, with elegant mosaic tiles displayed throughout, chandeliers and lighting that can be customized for your desired ambiance. The rooms stand alone, or can be configured for additional possibilities for seated, cocktail or lounge receptions. The Belvedere resides in a perfectly centralized location in the western suburbs of the Greater O´Hare Area of Chicago for your wedding ceremony and reception.Our experienced planners are ready to design your perfect day with personalized service.

I got married 1/25/20 (literally right before pandemic hit). Never did I image the process of planning would be so smooth and of course I prepared for at least 1 hiccup during the day. When I tell you EVERYTHING was perfect; it really was. Belvedere's team is the reason for this! From months leading up to my day, weeks, days, and hours; Jodi, Doro, and the rest of the team were great at getting back to all my questions and made me feel comfortable with all things wedding related. The tasting (3 months prior) was amazing and chef Alfredo made his presence, explained all choices, and this was the moment that getting married hit us! Let's not forget that doro was amazing at the tasting too! Although side note; I've worked with the belvedere team for 10+ years for corporate events so there were lots of jokes on why i even needed a tasting. :) fast forward to rehersal the day before, doro once again was a gem to have around. He calmed my nerves with a glass of chardonnay. :) day of the wedding jodi stuck around in my bridal suite and made sure my dress was perfect for my entrance, came down and watched a bit of the ceramony, hugged me afterwards, and made sure all was great before she made her exit. The bartenders were on point, food service was quick, hot and delicious, decorations were in ALL the right spots per my horrible instructions (they are great at figuring things out!) And I had nothing to worry about other than making sure I soaked up EVERY second with my new groom. Although I've known belvedere a long time and have had numerous events here (sometimes 6 or more a month) my wedding felt amazing and it was nothing like my corporate events. I also will let future brides know that you will be treated just as amazing! If you want a jaw dropping venue with bonus amazing staff that will treat you as if you're their most important customer (and even a friend) then you are in the right place. You will get all of these same treatments... it doesnt matter if you've known them for 10 years or it's your first meeting. They care about every person coming in their venue and want you to walk away knowing they have their $%*T together and you only have to focus on you!

Engelbrecht Farm

Paxton, IL
  • Up to 220 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $5,000

Engelbrecht Farm sits on 8 acres and is located in the heart of farming country. A very unique structural features of the barn is the opening to allow guests to be seated to two levels and both levels can look at the head table for a gallery type feel. The other unique feature is its size. It is the largest actual barn (not modern structure that looks like a barn) within multiple states at 4500 square feet. Adjacent to the barn is the old 4000 square foot feedlot with flower garden and iron pergola. Late in the day makes for a great spot for outdoor games. With the barn comes the recently restored, three bedroom farmhouse originally constructed in the 1890’s. One amazing aspect for the wedding package is it’s a standard three day booking. Families arrive on Friday and check out on Sunday. This gives them time to relax and take the whole experience in. Plus the time is spent making their wedding their own. This is the place for imagination and creativity to really shine.

My husband and I had our wedding reception at Englebrecht Farm last September and had to change many details last minute due to the pandemic. Chris was extremely flexible and understanding of our situation. He helped us safely plan our dream wedding and made sure everything went perfect for us. The barn is original, rustic and absolutely beautiful. You can really make it fit your vision with your decorations, lights, etc. You get access to the barn and farmhouse for the entire weekend of your wedding which takes out a lot of the stress and time constraints that usually occur. I can’t say enough good things about this place and the people who run it! If your looking for a rustic wedding venue in the area that is just down the road from a brand new hotel and several local businesses for your guests to enjoy, I highly recommend Englebrecht Farm!

Aside from the beautiful scenery, the Gardens provide delicious food from Culinary Landscapes, their in-house catering service, and all of our wedding guests were raving about the food and beverages. The catering staff were amazing and very attentive. The only smudge on our experience was that establishing and maintain communication was rocky – especially towards the beginning of our planning process – and there were a few surprise expenses tacked on. All things considered, however, we would go back to CBG in a heartbeat – we had a fairy tale wedding.

Colvin House is an extraordinary wedding venue featuring an inviting glamorous interior, large outdoor reception areas, beautiful gardens, beach access & unforgettable views of Lake Michigan. Designed in 1909 by visionary Prairie School architect, George W Maher, the mansion is a historic landmark and was a private residence before its current life as an events venue & coworking space. We pride ourselves on fostering inclusivity & we strive to reduce wedding waste by having almost everything needed onsite while also allowing couples vendor flexibility. Previous residents added details reflecting the styles of grand movie theaters and the glamorous neoclassical revival flair of the 1920’s and 1930’s, giving the house a relaxed but unified mix of architectural styles. From the majestic crystal chandelier escorting you down the grand staircase to the marble fireplaces, we invite you to imagine the house is yours for the day as you invite family and friends in to celebrate your union.

We were drawn to Colvin House because of the mansion's historic details, but believe it truly shines when paired with the talents of Pyrite Sun, their in-house planning, catering, rentals, and floral team. We met with Sarah (Colvin's Events Manager/Owner of Pyrite Sun) to tour the space and ended up hiring Pyrite Sun for our entire wedding at Colvin House. Not only was it convenient to have everything under one roof, but we had a personalized wedding experience like no other–complete with vintage furniture, plates, and coupes, the most incredible floral from Colvin's gardens, and a customized food menu that our guests still rave about. I also love that Sarah recommends great vendors they've worked with and happily coordinates whatever you need with any other vendors you'd like to hire, as well. Overall, an incredibly special experience you won't find anywhere else. Thank you, Colvin House and Pyrite Sun, for making our vintage glamour wedding dreams come true!

John’s customer service was exceptional. Every time we reached out, he responded quickly. The staff who worked the reception also had amazing customer service. They were attentive to all of our guests. Our guests RAVED about the food. The staff was so helpful in meeting the needs of dietary restrictions. Having an on-tap selection of 12 beers was fantastic. Being an LGBT+ couple, it was important to us to find a reception venue where we felt comfortable. John was amazing to work with and incredibly inclusive. We would highly recommend Schlafly’s (definitely John) for a reception or event. Thank you for everything!

Avec West Loop's entire second floor is a dedicated private dining venue.

The space features an open kitchen and private bar where cocktails and hors d'oeuvres may be served prior to groups being seated. We can accommodate 40 guests for a seated event and 60 guests for a reception style event.

I used AVEC for my daughter pre-wedding event for the family and close friends of the bride and husband. The staff at AVEC really made it a life time memorable experience to last for everyone. As for the reception, the appetizers/ hors-d’oeuvre was excellent. The open bar and the wine selection made a difference for those who attended. For the friends of my daughters, AVEC was one of the restaurant that they envied to dine at and the second floor atmosphere made it a unique experience. As for the sit down dinner for the family, it become a highlight for both family history. The wine selection for dinner was memorable and was an experience which cannot be replicated. The food was excellent and the how the family style serving provided an atmosphere for everyone closer and to become “one family”. In my mind , this was one of the top experience I have had including my time as working and living as a top executive in the Chicago area in the past 20 years. I have organized and attended dinner events for business but this experience at AVEC was the one I enjoyed the most and is ranked as my number one. I have to say that all dining experience, the staff at AVEC served us and others with a kind, friendly, and proactive way which led making the whole dining experience one that can not match by other restaurants in Chicago or anywhere around the world. As a Japanese we are used to high quality personalized services but AVEC in the West Loop is in our mind belongs in the top league worldwide. I recommend AVEC with the highest level and without any hesitation if you are seeking a life time experience to be remembered for generations.

Formerly a 1920’s speakeasy bar, The Skyline Club is a private rooftop venue at the historic Old Republic Building on Michigan Avenue. Originally, a pub in the Sussex region of southern England, the Skyline Club was dismantled, shipped to Chicago, and reassembled on what was then the Bell Building. Guests can now experience the elegant charm of this historic penthouse, along with the gorgeous view of Michigan Ave from our breathtaking outside terrace. Host an unforgettable event in our main dining room, outside terrace, private dining room, and historic library.

We had our wedding and reception at the Sky-Line Club. It was a truly magical day for us and our guests. I can't begin to thank the staff at the Sky-Line Club for all they did for us throughout the entire day. The wedding was on the outdoor terrace with breathtaking views of the city. The menu that they helped create was absolutely delicious. Our guests kept going back to all of the food stations, making sure they had sampled every item on the menu. The staff made all of our guest feel at home, even though the majority were from out of town. Being able to go out on the terrace during the evening reception allowed our guests to experience the beautiful Chicago skyline and get some air in between dances. I would highly recommend the Sky-Line Club.

Park Hyatt Chicago

5.0

Chicago, IL
  • Up to 180 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor

Host a romantic celebration in intimate, award-winning wedding venues located perfectly in downtown Chicago. Enhanced by expertly crafted catering and with the support of dedicated specialists, weddings at Park Hyatt Chicago are luxurious and timeless occasions.

I will always remember Park Hyatt so fondly because they truly gave us our Best Day Ever :) My initial experience was Park Hyatt was a little bit bittersweet due to being handed over through multiple coordinators without any good real communication on who to reach out to (a lot of very sudden turn over occurred throughout our long planning period). That was difficult to deal with because it was re-inventing the wheel multiple times and a lot of re-communicating things that had already been discussed. However, once Vanessa stepped into the picture in Sept 2022, I immediately felt SO much relief. She was so sweet, so organized, such a great communicator, and really did everything she could to make our day the best day ever - and she and her team absolutely delivered. I will sincerely miss getting to interact with her, because she was just that awesome!!! Park Hyatt as a whole did a great job, too. For the sake of transparency, I will say the billing department was a little difficult to get through to at one time made some kind of odd billing mistakes that seemed to stem from lack of communication. It was kind of hard to tell because I was getting the information second hand rather than talking to the billing person directly. That was really the only thing that I'd say was difficult to deal with. But I could always, ALWAYS rely on Vanessa to take care of the issue and in a punctual time period. And prices were great per person for an elevated Chicago wedding experience. Another nice thing is they bundled everything together (food/bev/service/taxes) into one per person price, so you know exactly what you're getting. I can't recommend Vanessa and her team highly enough. I'd relive it all over again if I could!

From the moment you book your wedding, we work side by side with you to personalize and perfect every facet of your reception. You can conduct your wedding ceremony here or host a separate afternoon or evening reception. From setting casual, intimate or elegant moods to customizing your menu, every decision is catered to your personality, style and budget. There is a wide variety of options, including formal dinner receptions to intimate champagne brunches. Work with our professional staff to construct traditional or contemporary plated meals, stations or buffets.

With everything going on with COVID-19, my fiance and I were super nervous about what would happen if we postponed our wedding or even if we had it with a smaller crowd. We had friends tell us that for their wedding at a different venue, they were still going to be charged the minimum amount even if there were only 50 people, I was so nervous about what was going to happen but then we got the call. Jennifer called us from Brides of Poplar Creek and assured us that they understood what was going on and that they would do whatever they could to accommodate us with what we decided to do. They allowed us to maintain our date for 2020 but then also offered to hold a date (at no cost) for 2021! My fiance and I hit the lotto with this place. Jennifer is up to date on the guidelines they are mandated to follow and continued to support us as we took our time deciding what we were going to do. We have finally decided to move our date and Jennifer drew up the new contract and got it to us in no time. Honestly, she made it so much easier for us to make this decision because it definitely was not easy. If you have not seen this venue in person, you need to go check it out. I am very picky and was looking for a place that did not have carpet. If you look at their old photos you see what the upstairs used to look like, it was beautiful but it had carpet. I was going to not even check out this venue but my mom saw that they updated their floors and now it is wood flooring. IT IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. Having both inside and outside ceremony options, you could not ask for a better place. I cannot wait to continue working with Jennifer and her crew as the countdown to our new wedding date continues. I will post a new review after our wedding happens next September. CHECK OUT BRIDGES OF POPLAR CREEK, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT

She set up everything beautifully. Lots of food. Cake was beautiful and delicious. Everything was perfect. The only thing that could have changed was cleanup started 15 minutes before event ended which caused some guests to leave slightly early. But overall a 10 out of 10.

Creek bend was such a perfect fit for our wedding, we essentially wanted a field but the house of the grounds was the cherry on top. When it was a bit rainy the house was the perfect place to take pictures, we loved the dark wood library! The only thing that was disappointing is that we wanted to get ready at the venue but they wouldn’t open until 9:00 which wouldn’t have given us enough time to get ready for the ceremony. They were easy to communicate with and worked well with our wedding planner. Would definitely recommend!

We having nothing but wonderful things to say about our experience with them. We even got to do our food tasting twice because there was a new chef and they wanted to make sure he cooked everything the same as we had agreed upon before. We literally had minimal things to stress about they took care of everything. The reception was decorated exactly how we wanted and absolutely stunning. The whole staff at River City did an amazing job taking care of us and all of our guests and everything ran smoothly. We had the most perfect day and my husband and I recommend River City to every engaged couple we know and talk to! You will not be disappointed!

All furnishings both inside and outside are fully removable for maximum flexibility in configuring the space to your specifications.

We had a small rehearsal dinner, followed by a big welcome party on the river for over 200 guests from 20 different states. This is a perfect location for people that have never been to Chicago and those that are locals, because the view of the river and the buildings is absolutely stunning. They have the biggest covered outdoor patio in the city, and it was a perfect setting for our guests. From the dinner food to the appetizers and cocktails, every single detail was excellent. We couldn't believe how kind the staff was, from the person that we first interacted with to every bartender. They were flexible and really cared about making this experience enjoyable and unique for our guests, and wow, they delivered! We are so thankful for what your team put together for us. Thank you, Rivers!
