Elizabeth Birch worked with us to helped us achieve the perfect wedding of our dreams. From the beautifully landscaped ceremony, photo, and reception spaces, to the outstanding food and service, there was no detail overlooked. Elizabeth helped us coordinate the entire wedding long-distance. I was in Florida, and the bride was in Chicago. But with her guidance, we were able to coordinate the local vendors needed to pull off a dream wedding.

Lilly was fantastic to work with - she answered all of my questions in a timely manner, she was always professional and the day was seamless with her being there.

The Roostertail was the perfect venue for our wedding day. From the beginning, their communication was timely, flexible, and personable - Nicole, Colleen, and Shawna were all a pleasure to work with. The preparation leading up to our big day was so helpful, ensuring everything went smoothly. On the day of, they checked in multiple times to make sure all was well and address any questions or concerns. The true star of the Roostertail, though, is their stunning riverfront view, which speaks for itself as one of the most beautiful settings we could have imagined for our special celebration.

My Husband and I visited 5 venues and fell in love with not only the Holly Vault but also Alisa and her team. We fell in love with the unique space and felt that it was the perfect space for us. We loved that the venue offered and/or included: linens, tables, chairs, silverware, plates, catering, drinks, coordinator, getting ready space, and ceremony options. Alisa is the best of the best and thought about every detail that I would never have thought about. She made our day memorable and seamless from start to finish. We were truly able to live in the moment and didn’t have to worry about getting drinks, missing our desserts or appetizers because they were placed at our table throughout the night. Alisa was so easy to work with and her communication was clear and fast. If I had a question I would just either email or text her and would get response within 24 hours. I was completely confident in the team and they made wedding planning easy and my wedding day seamless. Out of all the venues we visited and all teams we have met, the Holly Vault collection is truly the best venue and the team is the best of the best. I wish I could relive my wedding day all over again because of this team and venue!

I could not have envisioned a more perfect place for our wedding reception than Stonebridge. This is a stunning venue! We had our reception at Stonebridge on Friday, 5/31/24. Kim helped us coordinate everything from the beginning and made everything so easy. Stonebridge is great because it includes catering, lots of decor, and ceremony too, though we had our ceremony elsewhere. Having catering through the venue made it that much easier because we didn't have to look for another vendor for this. The outdoor cocktail hour space was beautiful and perfect. Having the outdoor tiki bar in addition to the indoor bar helped move the line along. We had buffet style dinner, and we got so many compliments on our food. The garlic mashed potatoes and bronzed salmon with capers were the clear winners, but everything was so good. The event managers of the day, Sarah and Hannah, were amazing. They checked in on my husband and I frequently to make sure we always had what we needed, and brought us so much peace of mind! If anything went wrong, I don't know about it, because they along with Kim ensured that everything was taken care of. All decorations supplied by Stonebridge were set up and taken down for us at no extra cost, but we also opted to pay a little extra to have Stonebridge's staff clean up the decorations that we brought, which eased a lot of the burden on our families. This was 100% worth every penny. Everything got cleaned up that night and they took great care of our things so nothing was damaged. They also assisted in setting up our donut table shown in one of the attached photos! Pictures don't do this beautiful place justice but hopefully you can get an idea :)

The quality and value were amazing - the space was clean and very well organized for our wedding events. They worked seamlessly with our other vendors to flip the room three times from cocktail hour, to dinner, to late night dancing and games. The coordinators helped us create floorplans and made modifications when needed. All of our guests loved the space and different things we were able to do with it. They also had a bunch of great places on the grounds to take photos - I loved that I didn’t have to find park to get outside photos.

Our reception at Oak Pointe CC turned out to be so beautiful and perfect. Everything was placed where I wanted it to be and looked exactly how I had hoped. The execution of the day was seamless and smooth, and my fiancé and I were VERY happy with how everything turned out that day. We didn't have to worry about anything, except for placing the name cards at the head table. The bridal room came very much in hand for privacy and keeping our personal belongings safe and out of the way during the reception. The grounds looked beautiful and clean, and the staff was very friendly. Servers, kitchen personnel, set up/tear down helpers, bartenders, etc... thank you so much for making our wedding day so wonderful! Food came out in a timely fashion and was delicious, servers and bar tenders all had a good attitude and were friendly, which was very important to me as well. All of our guests seemed to really enjoy themselves, and everyone said how beautiful it was there! Our only criticism was the communication during the "off season". It wasn't the best when it came to confirming the food, setting up the tasting, getting the updated contracts when changes were made, and the other minor details. However, the communication as we got closer to our wedding was much better, and we felt at ease as the day drew nearer. Julianna ended up going out of her way to add in small details for our day to make it look even prettier in the ballroom and she really put her best foot forward as soon as we got there. All in all, we were very happy with how everything turned out, and we want to thank everyone at Oak Pointe Country Club, especially Julianna for going above and beyond what we had hoped, and truly making us feel special on our day :) Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

What a place! Julie at Rust Belt is by far the best vendor I have worked with across three weddings. She is professional, proactive and responsive, doing everything she can to make our vision a reality. Her staff made the event seamless, leaving us to enjoy the evening with our guests. And the venue sets up so nicely for a party. It's open but with separate areas for the bar and dinner, giving ample room for people to move around and socialize.

We had the most wonderful experience at St. Cecilia's on our wedding day! From booking to the day of the wedding, Nadine was so helpful! Communication was wonderful leading up to the day. We even got a layout of our table setup to send to other vendors. They were also so accommodating when we decided to move the buffet to the lower level of the building. Choosing this venue was truly a worthwhile investment! We were originally concerned about the option of only one bar vendor. But we now know why they prioritize them! Martha's catering went above and beyond for us and the bartenders were wonderful. They clearly know the venue and have a lot of experience. So do not let the catering options deter you, clearly St. Cecilia's has them picked for a reason and you can trust your vendors! Have I mentioned that the building is gorgeous!?! The ballroom is stunning and the rooms are all so magical. It is such a beautiful wedding venue. Our guests had a wonderful time!

My husband and I attended a wedding at the Bissell Tree House in May of 2022, and before we were even engaged I said to him that I wanted us to get married there. This location is so stunning at any time of the year, but during our October 12, 2024 wedding, it couldn't have been more perfect. We had an absolutely gorgeous day and the venue was surrounded by fall colors and just a gorgeous ambience. Hilariously it started raining just as our ceremony was about to start, but because of the overhand of the roof above the ceremony location, no one got wet and we got to have a magical ceremony while the rain was coming down around us. The team is very helpful and worked with our vendors so well. Many of our guests complimented how organized and kind the staff were. Do yourself a favor and get married at the Bissell Tree House, you won't regret it!

We were truly blown away by our experience with FWB. We had the best wedding day, and the venue & service were such a big factor in that. Both Robin & Riley were phenomenal to work with- so patient, quick to respond and always answered the many questions we had. We loved doing the food tasting ahead of the wedding as well as the wine/beer tasting. Riley was there to walk us through the rehearsal the night before and was amazing on the wedding day to coordinate the ceremony and schedule throughout the night. I really appreciated how she checked in with us to make sure we weren’t overwhelmed and made sure that when we did take a minute to take a breath, there was food and drinks in the suite for us. We really loved being able to have the bridal suites for the day- it was awesome. The service for the reception was phenomenal. Staff always ensured we had full plates & drinks so that we could focus on interacting with guests. We cannot overstate how much we love FWB’s food. Not only at the wedding and throughout the tastings, but we had so many guests comment on how amazing all the food was. I highly recommend the rosemary pork and the chicken marsala. The mushroom ravioli was a fan favorite and we heard comments about it all night. Since the wedding we have visited FWB multiple times just to eat there because the food is that good. The coordination of the entire day was seriously flawless and took so much stress off our shoulders. We were able to focus on having fun while they ensured things were set-up, running on time and later taken down without us having to lift a finger (except for our own decor that we brought!). If you’re thinking about choosing FWB for your big day- do it! We had such a great experience and can’t stop talking about it.

My husband and I got married at North Lake October 4th, 2025 and had the most beautiful backdrop to the day. North Lake was incredible to work with and were so accommodating. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how wonderful the venue was. Dan really has put so much thought behind every detail from not having any curbs or steps making it incredibly handicap accessible to constantly making upgrades that only add to the experience. My husband and I are both huge baseball fans and we got married on a Cubs Brewers postseason game that started at 2pm. The tv in the groom's room was not working and Dan brought a tv from his own home and had it set up in time for the game. Any questions I had were promptly responded to by Danelle and she was so sweet and personable. If you're looking for a venue where you have the control of which vendors to work with while not missing out on the location and luxuries of an inclusive venue I'd highly recommend North Lake.
