Planning a wedding from 2,000 miles away was definitely a challenge. We live in California, but originally from Chicago where all our families still reside. Outside of one quick visit to Meyer's Castle, all our meetings and preparations were done remotely. Their team worked with us at every step of the journey, and we couldn’t be more grateful! They were highly communicative, exceptionally helpful, and ceaselessly encouraging throughout the entire process. The estate, building, furnishings, and amenities at Meyer's Castle are undeniably beautiful and meticulously curated. The people of Meyer's Castle make it so spectacular. We would not have been successful without the incredible staff at Meyer's Castle who made our dream a reality. Their professionalism and capabilities are outstanding! The owners immediately made a positive and lasting impression on us. They made us feel like family! Our coordinator, Brenda, worked tirelessly to ensure that our vision came to life. Her abilities were on full display the day of the wedding. She not only kept us all on the same schedule, which in and of itself is impressive, but she conducted the flow of the day, with all its moving parts, seamlessly and with remarkable poise! Though their hard work behind the scenes may have gone largely unseen, their efforts were tremendously appreciated by all, especially by my husband and me. In short, Meyer's Castle frequently exceeded all of our expectations. They continuously eased the hassle of planning our big day from afar. Any concerns and anxieties we had were immediately addressed and solved by the Meyer's Castle team! We highly recommend them for any wedding or other big event on your horizon!

We had our wedding at Port 393 on December 14, 2024, and it was an absolutely unforgettable experience. Chloe, our wedding planner, was incredibly attentive and had everything under control from start to finish. Her meticulous attention to detail allowed us to relax and truly enjoy our special day. Chloe was always easy to reach and guided us through every step of the planning process. On the day of the wedding, she made sure I had everything I needed and went above and beyond to make the day special. She even took care of loading up the car throughout the night, so we could focus on enjoying time with our family and each other. The decorations were stunning, and the entire venue looked beautiful. I highly recommend letting Port 393 handle all the details—they truly made our wedding everything we had hoped for and more. It was a fun and memorable day, thanks to their exceptional service.

Solasta was a surprise to me in that it simply wasn’t on my radar, but I’m glad I stopped by when I saw it just off the road. The mulled wine I tried tasted great and wasn’t cloyingly sweet. The staff seemed very friendly and helpful, and the interior was warm and inviting. The wine menu was surprisingly large, and the mulled wine actually used multiple wines to get the profile they were after. It’s definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area and like wine.

We are still dreaming of how amazing and perfect our wedding day was at Solarium.

Getting to wake up and get ready for the day in the bridal suite was an absolute dream! The ambiance and vibes create a chill and laid back atmosphere, but we still had the classiness of a formal wedding, exactly what we wanted. It truly was the best party of our lives! Side note, but a very important one, their on site Airbnb made getting ready yet staying separate a breeze. No travel for the bridal party of the photographer(s)!

Breathtaking floor to ceiling windows, refinished hardwood floors, handmade farm tables, gold charivari chairs, 8' tall chandelier, built-in custom bar, exposed brick and wood beams & private rooms for your bridal party. 19 North is a gorgeous 11,000 sqft venue located above Froehlich's charming Kitchen & Pantry restaurant. With the original wood floors and over 800 tin ceiling tiles still intact and beautifully restored, this space embodies a rustic opulence that offers couples the feel of a big city event in a quaint village. At the top of the grand staircase in the all-glass foyer, guests will find a tall corridor, flanked by two sets of massive, 12 foot turn-of-the-century doors, leading to a grand ballroom, complete with a show-stopping chandelier.

My fiancé and I discovered the hidden gem of 19 North by Froehlich's while initially visiting for a delightful breakfast at Froehlich's restaurant. We were thrilled to learn it doubles as a stunning wedding venue! From the grandeur of the 8-foot chandelier and star-like pendant lights to the vintage charm of the ornate tin ceiling tiles, this venue marries historical preservation with modern elegance. The impressive wooden doors promise an unforgettable ceremony entrance, complemented by antique lounge sets and a private entrance through a picturesque glass atrium, perfect for a cocktail hour. The photos I'm including are frames from a video I took during the tour and they simply do not do this beautiful space justice! As a Chicago couple seeking a beautiful wedding without the metropolitan price tag, we were thrilled by 19 North's proximity to Chicago and charming towns like Three Oaks, New Buffalo, and Michigan City. The all-inclusive experience, from the beautiful furnishings to the option of building a custom menu, means fewer details to manage and more time to enjoy the journey to our special day. There are also tons of walkable Airbnbs which will be great for us and our out-of-town guests. The array of options and pricing transparency for catering and staffing have been impressive, reflecting the venue's commitment to ease and excellence. Drew, our point of contact, embodies professionalism and attentiveness, answering every query quickly with patience and insight. For those on the market for a wedding venue that promises a seamless blend of historical allure and contemporary services, look no further. I wholeheartedly recommend scheduling a visit to 19 North by Froehlich's - a true embodiment of vintage elegance and an all-encompassing wedding experience. We eagerly await our wedding day at this enchanting venue and are confident it will create memories that we and our guests will cherish forever!

If you are looking for a ONE OF A KIND and modern barn themed wedding, Etre Farms is the location that surpasses all others. Not only is the venue unlike anything I have seen before but the staff from Day 1 have been so approachable and amazing to deal with. Rather than telling us rules and limitations and "cookie cutter" packages like most venues, the staff at Etre Farms got to know my fiancée & myself as a couple and our personalities before anything else. Their attention to detail is refreshing and gives us confidence in our wedding running flawless in May of 2022.
