Do you want to have a completely stress-free wedding day and planning experience? Then book your wedding here. Throughout the year I had to plan my wedding at BWH, I had countless people ask me if I was stressed, or comment that I seemed pretty relaxed for planning a wedding. That’s because Sharon S. and BWH’s recommended vendors make having a wedding here the most seamless and worry free experience. Everyone is so easy and fun to work with and made everything a breeze. Our family and wedding party noted how professional and coordinated everybody was- they run a tight ship! I can’t recommend this venue enough, and I am so glad we had our wedding here. Everything went perfectly- thank you so much Sharon!

The house, known today as Reid Hall, was completed in 1908 and the family moved in on May 5, led by J. Ogden Armour, until approximately September of 1927. Many of the house’s mantle pieces, there are 15, and the paneling of the library reading room (or former living room), were imported from Paris, Vienna and London, including the marble dining room while the main walls are of Italian marble, the central panels of each wall have been painted over the plaster to simulate actual marble. It is also reputed that the marble staircase was built with the primary purpose in mind that their daughter, Lolita Ogden Armour, would descend the curving stairway on her wedding day, which she did in 1921, to John J. Mitchell, Jr. Eventually the property was sold to Lake Forest Academy where classes began in 1948. Today, Academy grounds total approximately 170 acres.

I loved my wedding, it was everything I could've wanted out of the venue. I had My ceremony (outside) & reception (inside) and it was such a wonderful time! I did the family-style menu and all the food was delicious. The reception area in the all seasons room was beautiful with the light globe. The bartenders and servers were very attentive and polite. All of our guests loved the food, the chocolate fountain, and of course the late-night bowling!! The communication with the venue was my main pain point as I was appointed multiple sales managers as it seemed like they were going through a management change. I thought it was odd that I talked with the sales manager for all of my communication regarding the wedding up until the day of I was assigned an event manager who I met 1 hour before my ceremony. The sales manager was still on property the day of but I thought it was weird I didn't receive any information that I would be working with someone else the day of. I highly recommend this venue if you're looking for a beautiful and fun place to get married!!

We worked with Emma and she was such a breath of fresh air to work with, communication was amazing and she had all the ideas and advice you could ask for.

We met with Melissa, who was very kind and truly a lifesaver! She helped us create our dream wedding, and we can’t thank her enough. 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. The venue is absolutely stunning, and everyone did everything they could to make this the best day ever! We could not be happier with our choice and would highly recommend this venue!
