On the day of the wedding, the onsite ceremony coordinator ensured the ceremony ran smoothly, and the reception team worked seamlessly with the ceremony team to make the entire day flow effortlessly. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, and the staff provided top-notch service to us and all of our guests.

Jerry and his crew made out wedding day incredible! They helped run the whole day, they got the guests seated, kept everything on schedule, and ensured that Ben and I didn't have to worry about anything. When our flowergirl got stage-fright right before walking down the aisle, Jerry swooped in to save the day and helped her find her mom. We initially didn't plan to do a grand entrance into the reception, but Jerry and the DJ (Megan from Music that Moves) made one happen last-minute so our flower girl could have a second shot ar throwing her petals. You're not just getting a venue at Parkway, you're getting a whole team who will make your event run smoothly. If we ever do a vow renewal or anniversary party, we will be back!

My daughter and son in law were just married at Two Brothers Roundhouse just over week ago. Suffice it to say that everything came out absolutely perfect. From day one, Lori and Nicole put our minds at ease answering every one of our questions and no question was too crazy for them. There is so much included in the package, the cake from Sweet Reserve Bakery (delicious!) , a plated meal or many different buffets to choose from. We had a plated dinner and everything was devine! Hor d'oeuvres, a fabulous beer selection at the bar... The outdoor gazebo was the perfect backdrop for their ceremony and the building itself is really interesting if you're into historical venues. Angie and Elizabeth took the reins for day of coordinating and I can't say enough good things about their professionalism and attention to detail. They took the worry out of everything1 So if you're looking for the perfect venue for your wedding, look no further than Two Brothers!

Everything from to the visuals, the staff, the food, was fantastic day of! The layout was perfect for my 125 person wedding allowing for my dance floor to be directly in the center. The space itself is gorgeous with exposed brick and wooden floors. The second floor patio is a lifesaver for the dance floor lovers needing to cool down. Even though my cocktail reception was just downstairs, the entire feel is completely different, promoting and Irish pub setting with elegant lighting. Staff was extremely efficient, and the bartenders were so personal! Gabrielle was my coordinator, and she went above and beyond during the entire planning process. She even added the personalized touch of having our signature drinks served in pineapples (as this this was how he proposed). Minor hiccups with pricing/guarantees due to the switching of hands, but fair compromises were put in place to offset this.

We had the pleasure of having our wedding here September 2024. When I say our experience with this venue could not have gotten any better. Our wedding coordinator, Katie Volkening, was with us every step of the way and never hesitated to answer all of my questions (and there was a lot lol). She was so helpful and responsive through the entire planning process and went above and beyond what was required of her as well as the rest of the BlackBerry Farm staff. The carousel and train ride were such a bargain and were a hit with our guests and made for great pictures! Our ceremony location by the pond was perfect and so serene. Two recommended vendors we used from BlackBerry Farm were, 11th Hour Bartending and Uncle Bub’s and both were amazing to work with as well. We look forward to visiting again on our one year anniversary and taking a train ride with our first child. Just book this venue, you won’t regret it regret it!!!

We had our wedding at Rosewood farm in August 2025 and it was the most perfect day we could imagine, and lots of that can be credited to the venue and the staff there. Harmony was a huge help during the planning process and made sure we had every detail in line. The new event space is so gorgeous and we had so many compliments from our guests about how amazing the venue was. It was so much fun to have our guests walk around the farm and see the animals as well. We also purchased our flowers from Rosewood, they not only fit our budget but they turned out stunning. We were over the moon and we can’t recommend this place enough!!

CityGate Grille is THE hidden gem in Naperville! I have DJ'd several times at CityGate Grille and this is one of the few venues in the Chicagoland area that I will refer to my clients. First of all, the staff that you work with is literally second-to-none. Barb is extremely nice, professional, always has a smile on her face and is willing to go above and beyond to make sure that your wedding is absolutely perfect! The staff on the day of your wedding are timely, professional, courteous, and will stop at nothing to give you one of the best experiences of your life! Even at a vendor table, they treat you with respect and ask if there is anything we need - and, again, that's just at a VENDOR TABLE! Secondly, the space is beautiful! CityGate's lawn and patio ceremony areas are perfect! Confined to just your family and friends, there will be no worries of having random people walking by during your ceremony - which I personally love as your ceremony needs to be intimate between you, your spouse, and your guests. The actual reception space is gorgeous! Floor-to-ceiling windows looking out to the patio coupled with aesthetically-pleasing ceiling lights and bar with all of the fixin's for that perfect cocktail will keep you and your guests more than satisfied throughout your reception. Finally, the service is FIVE STARS ACROSS THE BOARD! This should be the single most important aspect of selecting your wedding venue. As I stated above, from your first meeting down to the minuscule details, Barb and her team have it covered 100%. Everyone will treat you with kindness, respect, and will be genuinely excited about your celebration! Do yourself a favor and look no further than CityGate Grille for your wedding reception. You won't regret it for a moment!

Many venues we researched already had a lot of character on their own and it was hard to find one that accurately reflected our vibes. At first I was hesitant because most of the gallery is light and airy and I wasn't sure it would be the type of moody we wanted to achieve, but the space is a beautiful blank canvas. When we went for a tour I knew it was the right choice. You don't need dramatic decorations, just simple things and lighting. Several weddings I've attended were at places where multiple events were going on at once and it felt crowded and confusing. Here you get the whole building to yourself and it felt very exclusive and intimate. Our wedding was a winter night by candle light and they reflected beautifully in the large windows and created a sanctuary of warm light on the cold night. It made me feel like royalty and it wouldn't have been the same anywhere else. My guests described the night as magical. The venue team was so understanding and accommodating. They went above and beyond to make sure it was everything we wanted. They were easy to reach and quick to respond. I hope I have the opportunity to use this space again.

We worked with them for over a year to plan every detail of our wedding, and anyone and everyone on their staff was available night and day to answer all of our questions and ease our worries. The day of, the staff was incredible and made sure all of our needs were taken care of. From their in house florist to DJ, their styling and coordinating staff to the owners themselves, we couldn't imagine having worked with a better team or a more beautiful venue.

We loved having our wedding at Arrowhead Golf Club. The venue was beautiful and classy, with great communication from our coordinator Lauren throughout the whole planning process. Lauren helped us make decisions on food, decor and other details, while also keeping us on schedule leading up to the big day. The team was so organized in setting up and their attention to detail really showed. Our guests were impressed with the beautiful ballroom and raved about the delicious meal. We felt Arrowhead went above and beyond to understand our vision and make our wedding day special. We would highly recommend Arrowhead Golf Club for any couple's wedding or special event!

It is so serene, peaceful, and beautiful. It also has a very intimate, homey-feel to it. I love the horses galloping around the farm the warm twinkle lights sprinkled around the barn. Plus, the staff is WONDERFUL and does a great job at handling all the ins and outs of running a venue and making sure their couples are taken care of. For anyone who's always dreamed of a barn wedding - Northfork Farm is THE ONE!!!

Started off our experience with the amazing Jill. She did everything just right and went beyond our expectations. When looking for a venue it can be very over whelming. Jill took that away from us right away. She explained everything to us in detail and broke it down. We then had the pleasure of working with the amazing Javi. He makes an excellent addition to Jills team. When I say this man was on top of everything I am not over exaggerating. He texted and called, and kept us on to date on everything. The day of the wedding and rehearsal Javi took top tier care of us and we will forever be grateful for the Bolingbrook Golf Club team for making our day extra special.

Seven Bridges was an outstanding wedding venue that made planning and day of a breeze! From the very beginning, Roisin was extremely flexible and made sure we knew she was always available for questions. She was always super fast to respond and eager to provide guidance. We chose the venue because we were excited to work with her and the packages (especially the higher ones) included so many details I didn’t want to have to worry about. Additionally, they have a beautiful outdoor ceremony space with ways to personalize and a backup space that would allow for a beautiful ceremony if bad weather happened. Also very important, they would have allowed my dog to be present had she been able to make it. There is only one wedding happening at a time and the ceremony space was very quiet, despite the golf course still being open. I did not have a planner but did not ever feel like I needed one. Roisin gave a list early on and while overwhelming at first look, I was able to chip away at it for 18 months. Leading up to the wedding, the venue coordinated with vendors to ensure everything went smoothly. While Roisin was not present the day of, there was an event manager, Jen, who helped to ensure everything went off without a hitch and any problems were handled immediately. The food was excellent and the bartenders were wonderful and so friendly. All the staff the day of were outstanding. I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Seven Bridges.

Had the 5 hour lunch wedding package on 5/20/23. It was fabulous. Lisa was the wedding coordinator and offered the Emerald Room with high ceilings. Very light and airy. She set up everything beautifully. Lots of food. Cake was beautiful and delicious. Everything was perfect. The only thing that could have changed was cleanup started 15 minutes before event ended which caused some guests to leave slightly early. But overall a 10 out of 10. You will not be disappointed by selecting Villa Olivia. Also beautiful outdoor pictures at this facility.

From start to finish, our experience at Bartlett Hills Golf Club & Banquets was nothing short of spectacular. The venue itself is stunning , nestled in a picturesque setting with rolling greens and beautiful views that added a touch of magic to our special day. But what truly made the event unforgettable was Evan. He was an absolute gem throughout the entire planning process. Friendly, organized, and incredibly accommodating, Evan took the stress out of every decision and made everything feel effortless. It felt like he genuinely cared about making our day perfect — and he absolutely delivered. The banquet space was beautifully set up, the food was exceptional, and the staff provided attentive service that left our guests raving. We couldn’t have asked for a more seamless or joyful celebration. If we could do it all over again, we wouldn’t change a thing — and without hesitation, we’d choose Bartlett Hills and Evan again. Their professionalism and warmth set them apart, and we’re beyond grateful for the memories they helped us create.
