Review: If you are looking for a one-of-a-kind beautiful historic venue for an unique and special event in Chicago, the search is over. Book Stan Mansion now!!! We could not imagine or have chosen a better venue for our wedding. We live out of state but wanted to get married in Chicago for several reasons - after a trip we took just to look at several venues we had identified online it was such an easy choice for us to go with Stan Mansion. Cera Stan, the visionary owner, met with us and our families and told us all about her incredible story with the historic building - built in 1920s as a Masonic Lodge. The space is absolutely gorgeous and speaks for itself but we particularly loved how we were able to do everything onsite - getting ready, photos, ceremony, cocktail hour, reception - everything has a home at Stan Mansion and a beautiful, well-appointed one at that. We were impressed with their thoughtful and competitive pricing and the care and attention we were shown before we ever signed a contract - even sharing a list of favored vendors which was a guiding hand for us throughout our planning process. Cera gave us valuable advice at that first meeting about planning a wedding that rang in our ears throughout the entire year leading up to our big day. The other major appeal for us with SM was our incredible Wedding Coordinator, Aleya. We knew we wanted help with our planning process, but to have that be someone who works full time for the venue was invaluable. Aleya worked long distance with us for months via zoom, phone, and in-person meetings planned around our other travel to Chicago to assist in whatever way she could to help keep us on track. I plan events regularly as a part of my job and was excited to do the bulk of the planning of our wedding with my family, but Aleya’s knowledge of the venue and area, her strong relationship with vendors, her creative eye, passion for events, calming aura, and genuine love for her job shine through in everything she does. She is a gem and a huge part of why the venue is so phenomonal, but everyone we met who works there - Miguel, Monica, Cera’s husband Drago - warm, wonderful, lovely humans. At The Stan Mansion we were able to plan a bespoke, creative, seamless and well-run event that didn’t feel cookie-cutter or like any wedding we had been to before. Our guests were a mix of local Chicagoans and out-of-towners and they all raved about the venue - its beauty, its history, and just how special it felt. You can’t invent that about a space, it is inherent to the love poured into it and the care surrounding it. We will forever be so grateful to have found this special home in Logan Square! Thank you Stan Mansion! We will see you soon :)

We had our reception on the first floor and it was so perfect for us. It was so nice that there were multiple rooms to step away from the dance floor and have a private conversation or out on the balcony and view the river and cool off. The food is the best banquet hall food I’ve ever had. Everyone was so nice and friendly. Highly recommend.

Melissa was our primary contact leading up to the wedding, and communication was always prompt. Our questions were answered quickly and effectively. On our wedding day, The Drake staff was very helpful and attentive, making sure everything went smoothly.
