We can’t thank Fishermen's Inn enough for going above and beyond for our wedding. From start to finish, everyone was professional, kind, helpful, and excited right along with us. We looked forward to every meeting, and having Erin at the helm of the event gave me so much comfort. Patti, has done an incredible job of building something beautiful, and we appreciate all of the care she has put into her business - it shows! On our wedding day, from the moment I walked into the space, I felt like royalty. Erin did a great job of running the show, and Tara gets a special award for sprinting back up to the bridal suite when I forgot my bouquet for the ceremony! Everyone commented on how good the food was and made a point to mention how incredible the staff & service was throughout the whole night. Jon is incredible at what he does managing the bar. He helped wrap everything up at the end of the evening, helped coordinate space for our last dance together, helped us pack up, and saw us off at the end of the night. Our only sadness is that we don’t get to do it again! Now we need to try to snag an invite to a Fishermen’s Inn wedding so we can go back for a visit! Wishing the Fishermen's Inn team many years of success, and thank you for making our wedding such an incredible event. (Photos by Colin Lyons Photography)

We had our wedding 6/15/24 at the blue stem farms and events. When I say this venue is breathtaking, it has everything you’re looking for in a rustic style barn. From the beautiful property to the barn this will make your wedding day even more special. Have to give a huge shot out to Kelly the owner, she is the sweetest lady you will meet. She made sure during the whole planning process to be by our sides. If you need to speak to her, she’s right there for you. On our wedding day she made sure everything ran smoothly. I cannot think of one thing that went wrong. She did a fabulous job ensuring everything was set up properly with the vendors. Highly recommend!

CityGate Grille is THE hidden gem in Naperville! I have DJ'd several times at CityGate Grille and this is one of the few venues in the Chicagoland area that I will refer to my clients. First of all, the staff that you work with is literally second-to-none. Barb is extremely nice, professional, always has a smile on her face and is willing to go above and beyond to make sure that your wedding is absolutely perfect! The staff on the day of your wedding are timely, professional, courteous, and will stop at nothing to give you one of the best experiences of your life! Even at a vendor table, they treat you with respect and ask if there is anything we need - and, again, that's just at a VENDOR TABLE! Secondly, the space is beautiful! CityGate's lawn and patio ceremony areas are perfect! Confined to just your family and friends, there will be no worries of having random people walking by during your ceremony - which I personally love as your ceremony needs to be intimate between you, your spouse, and your guests. The actual reception space is gorgeous! Floor-to-ceiling windows looking out to the patio coupled with aesthetically-pleasing ceiling lights and bar with all of the fixin's for that perfect cocktail will keep you and your guests more than satisfied throughout your reception. Finally, the service is FIVE STARS ACROSS THE BOARD! This should be the single most important aspect of selecting your wedding venue. As I stated above, from your first meeting down to the minuscule details, Barb and her team have it covered 100%. Everyone will treat you with kindness, respect, and will be genuinely excited about your celebration! Do yourself a favor and look no further than CityGate Grille for your wedding reception. You won't regret it for a moment!

Our reception was held in their stunning lakeside pavilion, and it was everything we could have dreamed of. The venue itself was beautiful, offering the perfect atmosphere for our celebration. One of the best parts was how convenient it was for our guests, with the pavilion being connected to the hotel—it made the whole event so seamless for everyone.

Seven Bridges was an outstanding wedding venue that made planning and day of a breeze! From the very beginning, Roisin was extremely flexible and made sure we knew she was always available for questions. She was always super fast to respond and eager to provide guidance. We chose the venue because we were excited to work with her and the packages (especially the higher ones) included so many details I didn’t want to have to worry about. Additionally, they have a beautiful outdoor ceremony space with ways to personalize and a backup space that would allow for a beautiful ceremony if bad weather happened. Also very important, they would have allowed my dog to be present had she been able to make it. There is only one wedding happening at a time and the ceremony space was very quiet, despite the golf course still being open. I did not have a planner but did not ever feel like I needed one. Roisin gave a list early on and while overwhelming at first look, I was able to chip away at it for 18 months. Leading up to the wedding, the venue coordinated with vendors to ensure everything went smoothly. While Roisin was not present the day of, there was an event manager, Jen, who helped to ensure everything went off without a hitch and any problems were handled immediately. The food was excellent and the bartenders were wonderful and so friendly. All the staff the day of were outstanding. I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Seven Bridges.

Bergen swept us off our feet and won our hearts after our first phone call with her. After seeing the venue for the first time, we were completely blown away. There is no other reception space like it. During the event itself, everything flowed smoothly and was handled with ease. Truly could not say a single bad thing about them!
