“Meyer’s Castle is such a hidden gem—you’d never expect to find a place like this in the Midwest! I’ve had the chance to shoot two weddings here, and both times were such a dream. The venue itself is stunning and feels like a little escape from the everyday. But what really makes it stand out is the team. The staff is always so kind and helpful, especially Kate—not just with the couples, but with us vendors too, which honestly makes the day run so much smoother. I can’t wait for the next time I get to come back and create more magic within those castle walls. Forever a fan of this place.”

In Lieu of a wedding cake, we did pumpkin pie and apple cider donuts provided by the venue. It was beautiful and means a lot to me that this was a family-owned operation. On the day of event, we had several attendants there for us for both the giant slide and tractor ride. Overall, it was a great experience, and I am very happy.”

“Jennifer’s Garden was everything we hoped for and more for our wedding and reception. Deb is the owner of the venue. She is fantastic. We wanted an outdoor ceremony and an elegant reception. The outdoor area has a beautiful landscape, a gazebo with lights strung up in the ceiling, and a water fountain in the center of the lake/pond that you can see from the gazebo. We had ideas of what we wanted to do but needed help turning our ideas into reality. Deb was an amazing help during the process. When I had questions, I could text her anytime and she would get back to me within a few hours if it was late at night. We knew what our wedding colors would be and Deb showed us the different options for tables and chairs so we could figure out what we wanted. Deb also gave us ideas for what we could do for the centerpieces. When the wedding was about a week and a half away, we sat down with Deb and went through all the final details. She offered to store anything we wanted to bring early, and I took her up on the offer. I created a list of what was in each box brought and how I planned to set it up. I gave Deb a copy of that list to show her what I was planning. When I came to set up the reception room, she had already had everything set up for us. I just had to do final touch ups. They made the wedding cake. I told her and showed her a few pictures for what I was envisioning and the colors I wanted for the cake. They made it happen. It was exactly what we wanted. It rained the day of our wedding and we were disappointed that the wedding would be inside. Since we had a small number of guests, Deb had an idea for how to do it outside. We fit everyone in the gazebo for the ceremony. We used an umbrella for the walk between the building and the gazebo. The reception was incredible. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Deb was there the entire time and checked with us throughout the night to see how we were doing. The food was amazing. Everyone commented on how good the food was. We had the Italian wedding soup, beef tenderloin, pork with spiced apples, tricolored roasted carrots, herb bliss roasted potatoes, and cheese mostaccioli. The beef tenderloin and roasted carrots were everybody’s favorite. We had a sweets table with cannolis, chocolate covered strawberries, and cream puffs in addition to the wedding cake. They went over very well. I also want to mention Julie, their social media person. She was there the entire time taking pictures and videos of everything. A few days after the wedding, she sent us a few short videos that she made. It was an extra special touch that we weren’t expecting and it was nice surprise. Overall, our wedding and reception was everything we wanted, and we know Deb had a large hand in that. She brought our ideas to life and worked with us to make the day flow as smoothly as possible. Everyone who came commented on how beautiful the room was set up, how friendly and helpful the staff was, and how great the food was. When we had our first visit with Deb to look at the place, we ran into another couple that had been married the night before and they said that Deb was amazing with everything they did. I completely agree with them. The venue is beautiful and Deb is wonderful to work with and helped every step of the way. I am so glad we chose it for our wedding and reception. I don’t think any person or place else would have treated us nearly as good as she treated us.”

“We absolutely loved having our wedding at Monte Bello Estate! One of my favorite things about the venue was being able to get ready on site and have our entire wedding day unfold in one place. We had our ceremony at the gazebo, which was absolutely beautiful, and our cocktail hour looked stunning. Moving from one space to another throughout the day felt effortless and seamless. They also had golf carts available to transport guests from the parking lot to the ceremony site, which was such a thoughtful touch and made things easier for our guests. One of the biggest things that gave me peace of mind when choosing Monte Bello was knowing that even if it rained, our wedding would still be beautiful. We had a May wedding, so rain was always a very real possibility, but I genuinely never felt overly worried about it. The inside of the venue is gorgeous on its own, and all of the windows still allow you to see the beautiful scenery while bringing in so much natural light. Even more importantly, their backup indoor ceremony space does not feel like a “Plan B.” It is beautiful in its own right and still allows for that grand entrance moment I had always envisioned. Knowing I would be happy with either ceremony option took so much weather-related stress out of the planning process. I was also initially nervous about the food because that was such an important part of the guest experience for us. Attending both the food tasting and Raise the Bar event made me feel even more confident in our venue choice. And somehow, the food was even better on our wedding day than it was at the tasting, if you can believe it! We were so happy with everything. Another one of my favorite things about Monte Bello was their network of vendors. They work with so many amazing vendors and provided recommended vendors from the very beginning. Having vendors who already knew the property and were familiar with the venue helped bring our entire wedding together perfectly and made the planning process so much easier. Communication was amazing as well. I honestly didn't have many questions in the beginning, but naturally, as we got closer to the big day, we had more questions and a few last-minute things come up. The team was always incredibly responsive and answered us quickly, which gave us so much peace of mind during those final weeks. Monte Bello gave us the romantic garden wedding we envisioned while also making the logistics of the day feel incredibly easy. From getting ready on site, to our gazebo ceremony, to cocktail hour and the reception, everything flowed beautifully. Our guests loved the venue, the food was amazing, and our photos turned out gorgeous. We couldn't be happier that we chose Monte Bello Estate for our wedding day and would absolutely choose it again.”

Welcome to 223 Main! Located in the Heart of Downtown Lemont’s historical district, just three doors down from the Metra Station, 223 Main boasts a storied origin. Initially built in the 1900s as a double storefront, it transformed throughout the century into a department store, political office, coffee shop, and now an event space. 223 Main is owned and operated by a local Lemont couple, Hector and Lauren Tamayo. Hector grew up in Lemont and always loved the downtown area. At the beginning of 2020, the coffee shop leasing the space decided to close down. While brainstorming what the building could be next, the Covid-19 Pandemic hit. Lauren and Hector decided to cancel their destination wedding and remodel 223 Main. After having their intimate wedding at the building, they decided to officially launch 223 Main and open the space up to the community to enjoy.

“The team at 223 Main was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. We planed the wedding in a few weeks and it was super easy. Their communication was fast, friendly and easy - they were always available to answer our questions and walked us through every aspect of our special day. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful and the perfect size for our 30-person wedding. We had the ceremony and reception inside and they went above and beyond to make sure everything was set up perfectly ahead of time, including the decor, and the day-of staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The packages they offer for liquor and the option to bring in our own were also huge perks. We couldn't have asked for a better venue and highly recommend 223 Main to any couple planning an intimate wedding celebration.”

“Seven Bridges was an outstanding wedding venue that made planning and day of a breeze! From the very beginning, Roisin was extremely flexible and made sure we knew she was always available for questions. She was always super fast to respond and eager to provide guidance. We chose the venue because we were excited to work with her and the packages (especially the higher ones) included so many details I didn’t want to have to worry about. Additionally, they have a beautiful outdoor ceremony space with ways to personalize and a backup space that would allow for a beautiful ceremony if bad weather happened. Also very important, they would have allowed my dog to be present had she been able to make it. There is only one wedding happening at a time and the ceremony space was very quiet, despite the golf course still being open. I did not have a planner but did not ever feel like I needed one. Roisin gave a list early on and while overwhelming at first look, I was able to chip away at it for 18 months. Leading up to the wedding, the venue coordinated with vendors to ensure everything went smoothly. While Roisin was not present the day of, there was an event manager, Jen, who helped to ensure everything went off without a hitch and any problems were handled immediately. The food was excellent and the bartenders were wonderful and so friendly. All the staff the day of were outstanding. I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Seven Bridges.”
