You’re not looking for overly formal or a wedding experience like everyone else’s. You want a space that feels warm, inviting, and comfortable where guests can relax and celebrate from dinner through the last song. You’re drawn to laid-back elegance, personalized touches, and a classy-casual atmosphere that feels welcoming, not stuffy. You want flavorful, comforting food that gives guests choices while keeping the mood fun, social, and easygoing. You appreciate a local, family-run business and a team that is approachable, organized, and easy to work with — people who guide you through the planning, communicate clearly, and make everything feel less overwhelming. You want your wedding to feel like a joyful gathering, not a production. Great food, genuine hospitality, transparent pricing, and a comfortable atmosphere matter more to you than rigid traditions. You want your guests to leave feeling cared for and ready to rave about what an incredible time they had.

“As a newly engaged bride-to-be, deciding who to work with is an overwhelming experience. There are SO many options and wedding expos.. phew! The Enchanted Forest's all inclusive package helped take a huge amount of stress off of my shoulders. Knowing that the venue, catering, linens, tables, cutlery, servers, bartenders and chairs were ALL taken care of... it was the peace of mind I needed to be able to really enjoy being engaged and enjoying the time leading up to the big day. I recommend this venue to anyone that wants to know that you'll have everything you need, without coordinating with 10 different vendors to make it happen. Thank you Steve & Laurie!”

“We got married at Mercantile Hall on 11/2/2024, and it was an absolute dream! The coordinator packages are worth every penny—Stephanie stepped in during the final weeks and went above and beyond, she and the staff even brought drinks to the head table and our parents during dinner. The in-house services are so convenient, and the new getting-ready suite is gorgeous and perfect for a relaxing morning. The entire team was incredible throughout our two-year planning process—fun, professional, and detail-oriented. Every vendor had told us how amazing they are to work with, and they see why as they executed our day flawlessly. The venue is stunning, spacious yet intimate, and our guests haven’t stopped complimenting it. Merc. Sound handled our DJ, and Nate was fantastic! **Bonus for pet parents: Merc is pet-friendly, and our pups were so welcomed, making the day extra special. Mercantile Hall exceeded every expectation and made our vision a reality. Worth every dollar—highly recommend!”

“We could not have imagined a more perfect venue for our day. Everyone at Nippersink was beyond kind and helpful on the day of and for the entire year leading up to the wedding. Jaclyn was a dream to work with. She answered all of my many questions and was so flexible and accommodating. She always responded very promptly and went above and beyond in answering any questions or requests. Paul, the owner, and his wife were equally helpful and kind. I loved how personable their entire family was. My now husband and I kept saying throughout the whole wedding planning process how lucky we were to find Nippersink. Some examples of how they went above and beyond: buying my favorite flavored water and Malibu to use as a signature drink, allowing us to add on an appetizer a week before the wedding, sending us pictures of all of the available decor to use (they have so many great options available!), giving us the nicest gift day of, being flexible in the rehearsal dinner timing, and allowing us to have our ceremony at the venue with only 4 months notice when our church fell through. Besides their family being the sweetest, they have created such a wonderful space! The new wooden tables and chairs are gorgeous, the hotel was just redone, the grounds are beautiful and the food was delicious. We have gotten SO many compliments from guests about how much they loved the venue and were told from a guest it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had! We truthfully could not have had a better experience and we are so thankful to everyone at Nippersink on the Lake for that! Five stars just isn’t enough!”

“We had our wedding at Bluestem Farm in Illinois, and it was absolutely amazing from start to finish. We received so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful the venue was — it truly speaks for itself. The entire setup made the day feel fun, relaxed, and incredibly special. One of our favorite parts was the flexibility to choose all of our own vendors, which allowed us to really personalize our day. At the same time, Bluestem provided a list of fantastic recommended vendors, which made planning so much easier. Choosing Kelly, the owner, as our day-of coordinator was hands down one of the best decisions we made. She ensured everything ran smoothly and handled anything that came up behind the scenes so we could be fully present and enjoy every moment. We never had to worry about a thing. We genuinely wish we could go back and do it all over again. We couldn’t recommend Bluestem Farm more highly!”

We had a sweetheart table up at the front of the eating space and were able to look out at our guests on the main floor and then up at those sitting on the balcony. We brought in a DJ and live band to dance the night away! The staff was amazing - we had a few meetings leading up to the day and they handled all of the set up and table decorations. Our wedding was in late June, so we were able to utilize their patio space, as well. Food was amazing - everyone was raving on the mashed potatoes and beef!”

“As the Mother of the Bride, you want everything to be beautiful and meaningful for your daughter—while still being able to relax and truly enjoy the celebration. I was so grateful to experience exactly that at my daughter’s wedding. Working with Kari as our planner was a wonderful experience. She made the entire process feel easy and fun, while paying close attention to every detail that ensured the wedding ran seamlessly. I joined both video planning consultations, and her well-organized, thoughtful approach made each meeting productive and enjoyable. Most importantly, Kari delivered on everything she promised—and more. Her husband, Mark, is an exceptional chef who created the most delicious food. Along with his friendly and professional staff, he treated us to a lively Italian feast at the rehearsal dinner and a truly sumptuous dinner on the wedding night. The food was unforgettable. Throughout the evening, we received countless compliments on the wedding—from the atmosphere to the service to the incredible meal. The venue’s gazebo is especially magical—a wonderfully romantic setting that feels perfect for photos and dreaming about the future. One look at the photos and you know you’ve discovered a truly special place. We will cherish these memories for many years to come. Thank you, Kari and Mark, for creating such a beautiful and unforgettable experience!”

“My husband and I got married at Western Lakes Golf Club 5/4/24 and it was incredible. Food was amazing, staff were very friendly. The only downside for why I took off a star was because of the day of coordinator provided with the venue. She was great leading up to the day of the wedding but on the wedding day I saw her twice and then never saw her again. She never introduced herself to my husband, never made sure we were lining up for the ceremony or anything. Never checked in on us. I’m the one that noticed we should be getting lined up which should have been the coordinator doing it. But overall, it was a great experience.”
