I was shocked the first time I visited and met with Angelique and Richard. We had a really great time with them, felt comfortable and well informed. They were very transparent and we didn’t feel like they were just trying to get the sale like every other place we toured. Not to mention the prices for what you get is worth every penny. The place is clean, well kept and everything we wanted . And being a photographer, this place has the perfect lighting. Excited to work with them for our event very soon!

The Ivy Room At Tree Studios 

5.0

Chicago, IL
  • Up to 200 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $16,875

The Ivy Room is a full-service event space in a historic courtyard building right in the heart of Chicago’s River North neighborhood. Elegance meets simplicity at The Ivy Room. As a full-service event space, we provide nearly everything you need for a beautiful wedding ceremony and reception. Our classic design elements will act as the perfect canvas for any creative vision.

From the moment our tour ended, my husband and I knew this was where we wanted to get married. Abby at the Ivy Room was SO helpful in literally ever step of this process. The courtyard is deceptively spacious and felt like we were tucked away in a serene garden while also thriving off the energy of the surrounding city. As Chicago locals, the space felt perfectly urban and classy, without being stuffy at all. It was beautiful and memorable and the perfect fit for us a couple. 100/10 would recommend.

Park Hyatt Chicago 

5.0

Chicago, IL
  • Up to 180 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor

Host a romantic celebration in intimate, award-winning wedding venues located perfectly in downtown Chicago. Enhanced by expertly crafted catering and with the support of dedicated specialists, weddings at Park Hyatt Chicago are luxurious and timeless occasions.

I will always remember Park Hyatt so fondly because they truly gave us our Best Day Ever :) My initial experience was Park Hyatt was a little bit bittersweet due to being handed over through multiple coordinators without any good real communication on who to reach out to (a lot of very sudden turn over occurred throughout our long planning period). That was difficult to deal with because it was re-inventing the wheel multiple times and a lot of re-communicating things that had already been discussed. However, once Vanessa stepped into the picture in Sept 2022, I immediately felt SO much relief. She was so sweet, so organized, such a great communicator, and really did everything she could to make our day the best day ever - and she and her team absolutely delivered. I will sincerely miss getting to interact with her, because she was just that awesome!!! Park Hyatt as a whole did a great job, too. For the sake of transparency, I will say the billing department was a little difficult to get through to at one time made some kind of odd billing mistakes that seemed to stem from lack of communication. It was kind of hard to tell because I was getting the information second hand rather than talking to the billing person directly. That was really the only thing that I'd say was difficult to deal with. But I could always, ALWAYS rely on Vanessa to take care of the issue and in a punctual time period. And prices were great per person for an elevated Chicago wedding experience. Another nice thing is they bundled everything together (food/bev/service/taxes) into one per person price, so you know exactly what you're getting. I can't recommend Vanessa and her team highly enough. I'd relive it all over again if I could!

19 North by Froehlich's 

5.0

Three Oaks, MI
  • Up to 350 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor
  • Starts at $35,000

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!
