Awarded Best of Zola
“We highly recommend The Seville Chicagoland as a wedding venue. Desire was amazing to work with - she communicated promptly and professionally every step of the way. The space itself is elegant without the high price tag, giving great value. On our big day, The Seville really came through for us. When some out-of-town guests couldn't make the rehearsal, Desire allowed us to cancel without penalty. She also helped with DJ equipment rental when our original rental fell through. We couldn't have asked for a better venue or coordinator for our special day. The Seville handled all the little details and last minute changes beautifully. We're so grateful for the role they played in making our wedding day stress-free and magical.”

The Lyric Theater Blue Island is a unique wedding venue located in Blue Island, IL.

It closed in the late 1980s but was recently fully renovated and reopened by the Garetto and Cantelo families. For both families, the theater played a role in their family history, and so bringing it back to life was a labor of love. Today, The Lyric Theater Blue Island not only shows movies but also hosts live concerts and private events. This one-of-a-kind venue promises a celebration you'll never forget.

“From the first day my family and I spoke with Scott, he has made our wedding the smoothest process we have ever experienced. The love and support from Scott and his staff at The Lyric Theater Blue Island was wonderful - everything we asked for was there plus more. Their communication style was outstanding and efficient, and the quality of their work was breathtaking! No words can express the gratitude and love we have for Scott and the entire Lyric Theater team for making our special day so perfect.”

Meyer's Castle 

5.0

Dyer, IN
  • Up to 325 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor

Meyer’s Castle in Dyer, Indiana, offers a unique and historic venue for weddings. The castle-like architecture and beautiful gardens create a romantic and enchanting setting. Guests appreciate the attentive service and flexibility to customize the space to suit their wedding vision. The professional staff ensures a smooth and memorable event, from planning to execution. Meyer’s Castle provides a fairytale-like venue with historic charm and modern amenities.

“We recently got married at Meyer's Castle, and it was an absolute dream come true. My husband, Jeff, and I fell in love with this venue at first sight. We love how private and intimate it is. The castle is completely gated and surrounded by dense trees. You would never know that such an oasis exists just outside of Chicago. When you enter the gate, you drive on a long driveway to the top where you see the castle sitting on the hill. It's quite impressive and reminds me of destination weddings in Europe. The best part is that you don't have to leave the country. We decided to opt for the outdoor reception, which is their most expensive option because it involves a plan B in case of bad weather. The plan B was to host a reception in one of their gorgeous ballrooms. We could choose between two. However, the outdoor reception was so worth it. We were lucky enough to have a perfect sunny day without it being too hot. The venue's booking manager told us that September is their most popular month for weddings, and now I understand why—the weather was absolutely perfect. The team at Meyer's Castle was very friendly, professional, and always responded to our questions in a timely manner. It was totally worth it to hire their Month-Off coordinator, Kate. She was amazing! They also have a list of preferred vendors who they don't force you to hire but recommend based on their experience with them. We hired a photographer and a cake vendor from Meyer's Castle's list, and we were extremely happy we did. The venue's newly renovated bridal suite is cute and elegant at the same time. It has beautiful baby blue peacock wallpaper and a grand gold mirror. They actually have real peacocks living on the property, so the wallpaper in the bridal suite really fits the theme of the venue. This place is awesome. You can have both the wedding ceremony and reception at the same location, which is very convenient and stress-free. I don't like ceremonies in the church, and I would choose over and over to exchange my vows with my husband in the beautiful, green, lush gardens with birds singing around us.”
