“The Artisan was the perfect venue for our wedding. Payal and her team were incredibly organized, personal, and professional throughout the entire planning process. The modern, elegant, and beautiful space exceeded our expectations - it provided the ideal backdrop for our special day. Payal really went above and beyond, taking care of every detail from the layout, to the schedule, and even the napkin design. The food was absolutely delicious and the chef accommodated food for my celiac disease. The Artisan was worth every penny and we are so grateful for their incredible service.”

“There are not enough words to express how happy we were with Lost Hill. We did the pine micro in the glampers and it was perfect! We wanted something all inclusive, and they did not disappoint. From the very first phone call, everything went so smoothly, ESPECIALLY, because we weren’t local! We didn’t even see the venue until we got there actually but it was exactly what we imagined . It was the best, casual, intimate, fun weekend and we’re thrilled. 20/10 . We are also a queer couple and lost hill was so affirming and welcoming AND we could bring our dogs, which was so important in our planning. It IS still camping! So, please read through the glamping listings - they’re described perfectly. But we were well prepared!”

Which Illinois Venues Offer Outstanding Culinary Experiences?

Food can make your wedding truly memorable. The Seville in the Chicagoland area features an award-winning chef who creates show-stopping flaming desserts as part of their comprehensive packages.
