The Haight is a wedding and event venue located in Elgin, IL and is enveloped by a historic neighborhood, for a romantic and storied setting for your wedding. This converted warehouse was originally constructed in the 1890s. It began as the Elgin Storage & Transfer Company.

Brick walls and hardwood flooring accent exposed ductwork. There are multiple spaces for hosting your ceremony, reception, and many other wedding-related gatherings. On the first floor, there is room for up to 175 guests standing. This makes the 2,000-square-foot space ideal for the cocktail reception. The second floor features 7,000 square feet of space. 250 people seated or 200 people seated with a dance floor can fit in this event area. You can also take your celebrations outside on the spacious rooftop deck.

“The Haight was the perfect venue for our wedding day. Lauren, our coordinator, was incredibly responsive, thoughtful, and detail-oriented throughout the planning process, making it stress-free for us. On the big day itself, Lauren handled everything seamlessly behind the scenes - if any issues came up, we were blissfully unaware thanks to her proactive approach. The venue itself is unique, clean, and simply beautiful. From the charming exposed brick to the giant windows flooding the space with natural light, The Haight provided a warm, romantic backdrop for our nuptials. Combined with Lauren's coordination, their team delivered a flawless event beyond our wildest dreams. If you're looking for a one-of-a-kind venue with wonderful personal service, The Haight exceeds expectations. We wholeheartedly recommend them for your special day!”

St. Charles, IL
  • Up to 175 guests
  • Select services

Creek Bend Nature Center is available for your special event. This charming venue is located within beautiful LeRoy Oakes Forest Preserve on the banks of Ferson Creek in St. Charles. This gorgeous facility will take your event from special to extraordinary. We provide the facility and grounds. You provide the special touches that make the event uniquely yours.

“Creek bend was such a perfect fit for our wedding, we essentially wanted a field but the house of the grounds was the cherry on top. When it was a bit rainy the house was the perfect place to take pictures, we loved the dark wood library! The only thing that was disappointing is that we wanted to get ready at the venue but they wouldn’t open until 9:00 which wouldn’t have given us enough time to get ready for the ceremony. They were easy to communicate with and worked well with our wedding planner. Would definitely recommend!”
