We had our wedding reception at Silver Lake Country Club and were thrilled with our experience from start to finish. Amy and her team were amazing to work with - efficient and personal in their communication, helping us every step of the way as we planned our big day. The venue itself is beautiful and surprisingly affordable for being so close by. Amy talked us through what to expect and then she and her crew helped decorate the space perfectly. Janine and the rest of the Silver Lake staff were also fantastic during the event itself. The venue was the ideal backdrop for our reception and Amy's guidance made our wedding flow smoothly. We're so grateful to the entire Silver Lake team for helping create such special memories on our wedding day.

We were honored to host our wedding at Meyers Castle in August 2024 and can’t imagine having our dream day anywhere else. My husband’s been familiar with the venue for years way back when they hosted events at the speakeasy. When he described it to me it sounded too good to be true but after touring the first time words can’t describe how beautiful it is. It’s an absolute dream venue with so many beautiful backdrops and details you don’t need much decor! The garden and statues are stunning! We honeymooned in Italy and have to say this venue rivals any Italian Villa. The staff were so accommodating and helpful. The food is amazing and for smaller weddings the Oakroom is so intimate and beautiful. I wish we could relive the day over and over again. It’s so romantic and can fit any size wedding. We didn’t use the bridal suite because it’s a separate fee but found the venues all inclusive rates to be extremely affordable. Our ceremony was in front of the gazebo with the castle in the background but any location would be equally beautiful. If you’re thinking about it let this be your sign it’s just as beautiful in person as in pictures. Our wedding was even featured on Brides as a hidden NWI gem. It’s only 30 min-1 hour outside of Chicago so it wasn’t an issue for guests to get to. Thank you Meyers Castle for hosting our dream day!

We LOVED our wedding reception at Le Meridien! The reception space was at the top of the hotel and had great views and even a peak of the Chicago skyline in the distance. More elevated and chic space than a typical stuffy ballroom. Charmagne was amazing to work with, answered all of our questions, and was helpful day of the wedding too. The food selection was EXCELLENT- way better than stereotypical wedding food. Highly recommend the late night snack option and signature drink. And at the end of the night it’s so convenient to just hop on the elevator back to your room. We’ve already been back to celebrate our one year anniversary at the restaurant on the same floor as the reception space. Highly recommend this fantastic venue for your wedding!!!
