At the Chicago Botanic Garden, your event springs to life amid a backdrop of pure beauty and serenity. This world-renowned cultural destination is the perfect venue for your wedding, reception, and rehearsal dinner. From the simple to the sublime, we have something for every taste! Our impeccable attention to detail will bring your big idea to life.

With unique elements like authentic ethnic fare, locally grown produce, and dishes inspired on culinary trend your guests will experience an event they will be talking about for years to come.

The Gardens are absolutely gorgeous in the summer, and my husband and I fell in love with the location immediately after we entered. Aside from the beautiful scenery, the Gardens provide delicious food from Culinary Landscapes, their in-house catering service, and all of our wedding guests were raving about the food and beverages. The catering staff were amazing and very attentive. The only smudge on our experience was that establishing and maintain communication was rocky – especially towards the beginning of our planning process – and there were a few surprise expenses tacked on. All things considered, however, we would go back to CBG in a heartbeat – we had a fairy tale wedding.

The Armour House at Lake Forest Academy 

5.0

Lake Forest, IL
  • Up to 200 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $15,000

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.

The Armour House is truly a dream venue, it feels like you're at an Italian villa but in the middle of Lake Forest, IL. The entire staff is fantastic and they also help manage day of coordinating. I could not recommend this venue enough!

Recently the wedding reception for my daughter took place at The Glen Club. It was about 12 months in planning. Kate was the main person who worked with all parties on the many details leading up to the reception. Christine and her crew worked the reception the day of. My wife and I could not be more pleased with the way the evening went. Everything that was planned went off without a hitch. The staff was prompt and performed exceptionally well. Even the cleanup at the end went very smoothly. Even the hotel staff was most gracious and helpful. All employees we dealt with would get 10 out of 10 ratings from us.

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!
