The Haight is a wedding and event venue located in Elgin, IL and is enveloped by a historic neighborhood, for a romantic and storied setting for your wedding. This converted warehouse was originally constructed in the 1890s. It began as the Elgin Storage & Transfer Company. Over the years numerous companies used the building until 1985 when it was bought by John Haight, who refurbished the building. The Haight features two floors and a rooftop area. Brick walls and hardwood flooring accent exposed ductwork. There are multiple spaces for hosting your ceremony, reception, and many other wedding-related gatherings. On the first floor, there is room for up to 175 guests standing. This makes the 2,000-square-foot space ideal for the cocktail reception.

The Haight was the perfect venue for our wedding day. Lauren, our coordinator, was incredibly responsive, thoughtful, and detail-oriented throughout the planning process, making it stress-free for us. On the big day itself, Lauren handled everything seamlessly behind the scenes - if any issues came up, we were blissfully unaware thanks to her proactive approach. The venue itself is unique, clean, and simply beautiful. From the charming exposed brick to the giant windows flooding the space with natural light, The Haight provided a warm, romantic backdrop for our nuptials. Combined with Lauren's coordination, their team delivered a flawless event beyond our wildest dreams.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I decided on getting married at cooper fox over a year before our wedding. We were thrilled one we found this place! It was everything we were looking for. Though the whole process wasn’t without frustration as the event coordinator we booked with was fired two months before our wedding. We weren’t told until I reached out to that coordinator after not hearing from her and she told me she was fired and thought the venue would have told us by then. The things we had been told by her were not consistent with what we were being told by our new coordinators so it was very confusing. Things I had already discussed I had to discuss again and it added a lot of stress just two months before. But I have to say that the wedding itself was absolutely PERFECT! Everything that was frustrating before was fixed in time and it all came together beautifully. I really appreciated Mandy’s helpfulness and creativity with decor and making things look the way we wanted. And the wait staff/bartenders were the best part! They seemed to genuinely enjoy their job and were so kind and it was fun to see them dance to our music!! The food was delicious, our guests couldn’t stop talking about it. Overall I would definitely book with them. The price/package you just can’t beat and the photos are beautiful outside in the courtyard. I think a lot of our frustrations came from a badly timed inconvenience and they had to try to pick up everything our original coordinator was doing. But genuinely a great place for a small wedding.

The Wagner House 

5.0

Freeport, IL
  • Up to 250 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor
  • Starts at $1,500

The Wagner House, located in the historic Wagner Print Building, is a three-story industrial warehouse in downtown Freeport, Illinois. The building was built in 1903 and was one of the first buildings that had electricity in Freeport. Established in 1853 and incorporated on March 9, 1912, the Wagner Building was home to the German-born Wagner Family who, like Freeport, has a long and interesting history. The Wagner House also served as an industrial manufacturing spot for textiles and fashion. For four generations, the business did not change hands, and the present Wagner company pledged to continue their record of quality printing and letterpress and are still in business today. In 2013, The Wagner building was sold to Bill Green to redevelop and re-imagine it, creating a wine bar, business incubator, and beautiful event space.

We got married at the Wagner House in September of 2021. We had a short window, only 3 months to plan, but everything went off without a hitch. The best part was their accommodation of live music instead of a dj. The venue has house sound and lights so that saved us a ton of money. We had six musicians throughout the night and a full band. It was a blast!
