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.

From the moment we first set foot in Mission Hills Country Club and met with our coordinator, Gabi, we knew we had found the perfect venue for our special day. Their communication style was incredibly supportive, collaborative, and flexible, making the planning process a breeze. The quality of their work was top-tier. The venue space is truly so charming, intimate, and timeless. Our winter wedding dream came to life at Mission Hills - the outdoor setting was made to sparkle with the lights they put up on all the trees, and the day flowed without a single hiccup. It was the best day ever, and we are so grateful to Gabi and the entire Mission Hills team for making it all come together seamlessly.
