“My husband and I cannot recommend this venue enough to anyone looking to get married in Chicago. The venue is located a very short distance from the city, and honestly, the traffic from the city to Indiana is nearly not as bad as the Northern Suburbs. The venue itself is gorgeous for the ceremony as well as the reception! Maria, our wedding coordinator, was able to calm all our nerves, make the planning process so easy, and the fact that they have optional in-house vendors helped take off so much from our plate. She is such a valuable asset to the wedding planning aspect, and she was a delight to work with: so kind, patient, and fun! Plus, every one of our wedding guests kept raving about how beautiful the venue was and how seamless it appeared. We got married in October 2025, and the gardens were spectacular. They were just as green as if we had chosen to get married in the summer. We toured the venue in the summer so we can really compare!”

“Fernwood really is a hidden gem. The grounds are beautiful and their rates very affordable! They were very responsive to my many questions, and very helpful on the day of our wedding. They even let us use an extra classroom for the groomsmen to get ready in. They were also really flexible. You can’t really go wrong here, and the garden itself can be your decor! We also left one item behind by accident which we were able to pick up a few days later. Lots of “areas” to choose from for your day, too. Only complaint was the poison Ivy growing along some of the pathways, which were already fairly narrow. We just used alternate paths and it was no big deal!”
