“I had the most magical wedding experience at Georgios this past December, and I can't recommend it enough for anyone looking to host their special day! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. I stayed the night before the wedding in one of their beautiful whirlpool suites, which was not only spacious but also perfect for having my bridal party join me while getting ready. It was a great way to start the day and feel relaxed before the big moment. The hotel has such thoughtful amenities, and I loved that I could book a meeting room to get my hair and makeup done the day of the wedding. It was spacious, private, and comfortable for everyone involved. The guys had their own suite to hang out and relax before the ceremony, which helped keep everything calm and stress-free for them as well. As for the ceremony itself, we held it in the Clarion Room, which was absolutely breathtaking. We went with an evening wedding and dim lighting, which created such a romantic and intimate atmosphere that truly made the moment feel magical. It was just perfect. After the ceremony, we moved to the Ravinia room for the reception, and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better space. The room was elegant, the ambiance was on point, and I had it themed for Christmas, which added such a festive and cozy touch. The food was amazing—delicious, flavorful, and beautifully presented. And the cake… it was perfect! I still hear compliments about it from our guests. A special shoutout to Tricia, the banquet manager. She was incredible from start to finish. She made sure everything ran smoothly, anticipated our needs, and handled every detail with such professionalism. I felt like I was in good hands the entire time, and I can’t thank her enough for making our day so memorable. Overall, our experience at Georgios was everything we dreamed of and more. If you're planning a wedding, this is definitely the place to consider. Thank you, Georgios, for helping make our day so perfect!”

“The Design Barn was the perfect venue! They are very accommodating and will work with you to put your vision together. Alex was so helpful with making our dreams come to life. Jorge makes the BEST food. You don't have to worry about food and drinks. They have a team there to do it all! The venue also includes all your seating, plates/silverware/glasses, linens, cute Photo Booth area, along with tables for your welcome set up. We've been to many venues where you get charged extra for security, plating, linens, extra chairs, etc. They also have plenty of space to have over 200 people! We never felt cramped or crowded. The Design Barn also has beautiful and fun SPACIOUS rooms for the bridal parties. They also have a very cute and fun room for when the bride gets ready. We've been to other venues where there were no bridal suites or they were extremely small. Our bridal party had 9 people on each side so room to get ready was a must. The venue also provides drinks and lunch for when you are getting ready. All the staff are super friendly and helpful. We are so glad we picked the Design Barn. It was PERFECT!!”

It was also a huge win that we were able to get the airbnb next door, it made it easy to run back and forth if we forgot something while getting ready. The ladies and I utilized the bridal suite which is a must! We also used the outdoor ceremony space, which was breath taking.
