“My husband and I cannot recommend this venue enough to anyone looking to get married in Chicago. The venue is located a very short distance from the city, and honestly, the traffic from the city to Indiana is nearly not as bad as the Northern Suburbs. The venue itself is gorgeous for the ceremony as well as the reception! Maria, our wedding coordinator, was able to calm all our nerves, make the planning process so easy, and the fact that they have optional in-house vendors helped take off so much from our plate. She is such a valuable asset to the wedding planning aspect, and she was a delight to work with: so kind, patient, and fun! Plus, every one of our wedding guests kept raving about how beautiful the venue was and how seamless it appeared. We got married in October 2025, and the gardens were spectacular. They were just as green as if we had chosen to get married in the summer. We toured the venue in the summer so we can really compare!”
