“There are not enough stars to give Ivy Thomas and The View at Lincoln Park the review they deserve. Our wedding was everything we had hoped for and more, and so much of that was because of Ivy and the incredible team around her.
I’m Jewish and grew up attending weddings at country clubs on Long Island, so I came into our wedding with very high expectations for the setting, food, and service. The View lived up to those expectations and exceeded them. With 180 guests, ours was one of their larger weddings, and they handled it beautifully. Everything felt seamless, and the level of attention and care was incredible.
The venue looked absolutely gorgeous. The ceremony room with our chuppah was stunning, and the reception room was breathtaking. Seeing those spaces transformed into everything we had envisioned was such an emotional, unforgettable moment. We also held our after-party upstairs on the rooftop, and Ivy made the indoor space up there look so beautiful, too. She put care into every part of the celebration, right through the end of the night.
The food was delicious, from cocktail hour through dinner. Ivy made sure the appetizers came out hot and kept flowing out of the kitchen throughout cocktail hour. Our friends raved about them, and it was so wonderful to hear how much everyone enjoyed the food. She also made sure they had all the right ingredients for our signature drinks—one of the many thoughtful details that made the celebration feel so personal to us.
Ivy deserves endless praise. Throughout the planning process, she stayed in close communication with both us and my dad, making sure every detail was understood and that we had everything we wanted. She was responsive, attentive, and so wonderful to work with. She listened to what mattered to us, understood our vision, and went above and beyond to bring it all to life. She made us feel that our wedding mattered to her personally, and having someone who cared that much and followed through so completely meant the world to us.
The entire staff was amazing—warm, attentive, and on top of everything. And Jude, our bridal attendant, was absolutely unreal. The care and attention Jude gave us made us feel so supported and allowed us to relax and enjoy our day.
Ivy, Jude, and everyone at The View at Lincoln Park: thank you for giving us such a beautiful celebration and for taking such incredible care of us and our guests. Our wedding was perfect for us, and we would choose you all over again in a heartbeat.”
