Astoria Banquets and Events Venue was an ABSOLUTE DREAM to work with for our wedding. All through the planning process, their communication was incredibly responsive, reassuring, and detailed. The venue itself is truly glamorous and elegant, yet versatile enough to suit any couple's style. The bartenders, wait staff, and coordinators provided incredible service, ensuring we didn't have to worry about a single thing on our special day. In fact, Max at Astoria was better than any wedding planner we could have hired. For brides with a desire for minimal planning and a tight budget, we highly recommend considering Astoria, especially if booking in the off-season or on a Friday or Sunday. We got married at Astoria on a Sunday in February, and the price per person was a steal, especially since the venue included everything we needed aside from a DJ and photographer. Overall, Astoria Banquets and Events Venue provided us with the most beautiful wedding, all while keeping us well under budget. We are so grateful for their outstanding service and beautiful venue!!

5.0

Lake Forest, IL
  • Up to 200 guests

  • Starts at $15,000

The house, known today as Reid Hall, was completed in 1908 and the family moved in on May 5, led by J. Ogden Armour, until approximately September of 1927. Many of the house’s mantle pieces, there are 15, and the paneling of the library reading room (or former living room), were imported from Paris, Vienna and London, including the marble dining room while the main walls are of Italian marble, the central panels of each wall have been painted over the plaster to simulate actual marble. It is also reputed that the marble staircase was built with the primary purpose in mind that their daughter, Lolita Ogden Armour, would descend the curving stairway on her wedding day, which she did in 1921, to John J. Mitchell, Jr. Eventually the property was sold to Lake Forest Academy where classes began in 1948. Today, Academy grounds total approximately 170 acres.

Our experience at The Grove Country Club was absolutely fantastic. Their communication style was prompt, clear, and incredibly friendly throughout the entire planning process. The value we received was great - the space was warm and welcoming, with fantastic dressing rooms for the bride and groom. Lisa, our event coordinator, was simply the best. She paid attention to every detail prior to and during the event, and the service from the entire staff was second to none. The food was restaurant-quality and the presentation of the meal was truly 5-star. We felt like it was their own wedding with how well they treated us, and the views and use of the golf course for our photos made for a gorgeous backdrop. Lisa was attentive to our every request and last-minute change, and checked in on us throughout the night to ensure everything was perfect.
