The Bridge Lemont 

5.0

Lemont, IL
  • Venue
  • Up to 250 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $6,000

At The Bridge Lemont, we are proud to offer the same level of attention to each of our couples as we would to our own wedding. Because we are family owned and operated, we are heavily invested in the success of your day. From our rustic industrial décor to our hand-selected list of curated vendors, every detail has been carefully chosen with you in mind. If you’re looking for a rustic industrial wedding venue, Chicago has no shortage of options. But only The Bridge offers minimalist décor, warm welcomes, and concierge-level service in a convenient downtown location.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Versatile for various event styles
  • Provides setup and cleanup
  • Has a dance floor for celebration

Venue considerations

  • No all-inclusive dining options
  • On-site parking not available
  • No on-premises lodging options
As a DJ, I've had the opportunity to work with many venues in the Chicagoland area. The Bridge in Lemont is by far my favorite venue. The space is designed to give guests an outstanding experience in a beautiful building with several areas to keep the experience fresh, instead of being stuck in a stale hotel ballroom for six hours! The facility is purposely designed to make working in the space a breeze for vendors like myself. Finally, the staff—from the owners to the bartenders—are the best we work with. They care for both the clients (couples getting married) and the vendors, always keeping the best interests of the event's outcome in mind. I will always choose a Bridge Lemont wedding over another inquiry because it is guaranteed to be an amazing wedding.

I started coordinating/event planning in 2017 by creating, managing, and executing my own nurses brunch which started as a 12 person event and now has grown to hosting over 150 attendees annually. Over the last 3 years I've had the pleasure to plan, coordinate, and execute multiple weddings. What started as a personal hobby has transitioned into a business, and it has been a pleasure to be able to serve couples on their big day. My flat rate fee of $900 bundles all the needs of the couple from start to finish.

I have worked alongside Kylie in a few different event planning capacities, and her attention to detail and vision for flawlessly executing and coordinating celebrations is excellent! Kylie has years of experience coordinating within the realm of non-profits; including fundraising events, a yearly brunch for nurses, and volunteer appreciation dinners. In addition to this, Kylie has executed the coordination of several weddings. I would highly recommend using Kylie as your event coordinator. She will always bring the fun, energy and attention to beauty that every event deserves.

With a focus on exceptional customer experience, Amanda and her team look forward to bringing your dream wedding to life.

My husband and I got married in July 2022 and we booked Amanda about 16 months in advance. I think I, perhaps, was on the moderately chill side and sometimes I didn't know what to do because I either liked a lot of options or I just didn't even know what the options were. Amanda really helped me narrow things down and kept the wedding planning moving forward on pace. She had great ideas, great vendor recommendations, and was always kind and patient when I was confused or indecisive. I am so glad that I worked with Amanda for my wedding; I had the most joyful day and even when there were unexpected problems, Amanda and the assigned coordinator, Taylor, worked everything out so that my husband I really never felt anything but wedded bliss. I can't recommend Amanda Paige Events enough, they truly made me feel cared for and that they were invested in making my wedding the best it could possibly be!

As a result, your event gets 110% of all my effort and attention because I love what I do and care that my clients are always satisfied.

I loved my wedding, it was everything I could've wanted out of the venue. I had My ceremony (outside) & reception (inside) and it was such a wonderful time! I did the family-style menu and all the food was delicious. The reception area in the all seasons room was beautiful with the light globe. The bartenders and servers were very attentive and polite. All of our guests loved the food, the chocolate fountain, and of course the late-night bowling!! The communication with the venue was my main pain point as I was appointed multiple sales managers as it seemed like they were going through a management change. I thought it was odd that I talked with the sales manager for all of my communication regarding the wedding up until the day of I was assigned an event manager who I met 1 hour before my ceremony. The sales manager was still on property the day of but I thought it was weird I didn't receive any information that I would be working with someone else the day of. I highly recommend this venue if you're looking for a beautiful and fun place to get married!!

We never take lightly the incredibly humbling role which our clients entrust us to. It is our job to not only document once-in-a-lifetime moments and emotions but to do so in an artful, romantic and documentary manner. We are passionate about storytelling through images that elicit an emotional response, using both film and digital mediums. Our style is unobtrusive which allows us to capture fleeting moments of joy, love, and tenderness with intentionality.

Lynzie was the first person I called after I got engaged! I had been following (okay, stalking) her work on instagram for a while and I knew she would be the perfect fit to capture the romance and soft and airy look that I wanted for my wedding! Lucky for me, she was available and willing to fly to France for my destination wedding! The whole experience with Lynzie and her team was flawless. She worked so well with my wedding planner and made sure we would have enough time to take photos in all the locations I wanted. I loved our engagement photos so much that I hired Lynzie to also photograph my welcome dinner for our international guests in Paris prior to the wedding day! Apparently I'm not the only one who was OBSESSED with how beautifully the images turned out because our wedding was published in THREE magazines, including the front page of Style Me Pretty! I couldn't be happier with Bonphotage. It doesn't get better than Lynzie - she is a true artist who will deliver and more!

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!!

I had the honor of coordinating Deanna and Andrew's wedding at The Glen Club, and I couldn’t be more impressed by the entire experience. The venue is gorgeous, offering the perfect setting for a romantic celebration. What made this experience even better was how fantastic the team at The Glen Club is to work with. Kate, in particular, was a dream! She’s professional, friendly, and incredibly helpful, ensuring everything ran like clockwork. As a wedding coordinator, it’s always a pleasure to work with venues that make my job easy, and The Glen Club truly delivered on all fronts. Highly recommend to all couples looking for an unforgettable wedding day!

Hi, I'm Samuel! Chicago based wedding and elopement photographer here to give couples a truly relaxed and down to earth experience. Being photographed shouldn't be uncomfortable or boring!  Telling love stories through photos brings me immense joy. 

We loved working with Samuel for our wedding and engagement shoot! We don’t really love taking photos and are not comfortable in front of the camera, but Samuel was so reassuring and made us feel comfortable. We were surprised at how much fun we had at the engagement shoot, and the photos turned out so beautifully! Samuel has an ability to capture very unique and real shots, they don’t feel posed, they capture natural moments which we loved.   Not only are they beautiful, but he really captured everything about the event, from beginning to end!   And I am not sure how he captured everything because I don't really remember seeing him, it's like he was everywhere, but yet invisible. We are really happy with the way the wedding photos turned out, and so glad we have them as memories of our wonderful event. Also, Samuel is just a fun, cool guy and really great to be around. Definitely hire him!

My special night at White Eagle was a dream. I specially remember one server David, he was attentive, kind, and helped us stay on top of our timeline. The food was phenomenal! My photos came out perfectly with beautiful chandeliers in the background. White Eagle has a classic vintage vibe with excellent service and great food! Most importantly, I never thought I could ever afford the wedding of my dreams but White Eagle made that dream come true for both me and my husband.
