Venue considerations

  • Not wheelchair accessible

Northfork Farm hosted our absolute dream wedding! The venue was absolutely gorgeous, and everyone was great to work with! Pete answered all of our questions throughout the process, and Leann took the day of stress away! We had multiple meetings with Leann before the wedding to communicate our vision, and get a full walkthrough of what we wanted the day to look like. Day of, all we had to do was bring her our stuff (which we actually got to do the night before at the rehearsal which was a bonus!) and she took care of the rest. She set everything up exactly how I envisioned it, and allowed my husband and I to just live in the moment rather than feeling like we were working or hosting. The property was gorgeous and incredibly well maintained. We had access to it all day and the salon was the perfect space to get ready in. There are tons of great places for photos, and some fun things that you don’t get anywhere. One, the horses! They are so friendly and adorable. Two, the fire pit! We had s’mores as a late night snack which our guests loved. And three, the pool! The pool is was what made my husband and I fall in love with the venue because we immediately knew we wanted to jump in at the end of the night. Pete set up the perfect send off and we ran through a sparkler send off and jumped right in. Our day was perfect, and the venue was everything we dreamed.

We found MATS at a friends wedding and knew right away that we wanted them to be our wedding band! They were both affordable as an 8 piece band (but you have many options) & amazing having the wedding guests on the dance floor the entire night! Marlon coordinated everything with us and made it very easy with a template he already built. We let them choose the songs with a few do not play lists. They even let us customize the night including a song they learned for us by our request, singing happy birthday to my maid of honor, & letting my father in law sing a song with the band. It was all so memorable! I would recommend them to anyone, especially if having your wedding in the greater Chicago area!!

Denise and her team were such a pleasure to work with! As a photographer I’m able to almost go on autopilot when working with Marryment because I know they are on top of every small detail! From the flatlay, to the dress, the fine details of the timeline, etc. This might be an overstatement, but it also seems that Marryment has a huge following from word of mouth and not from a bunch of mindless advertising. That tells me one thing that is most important for any planner to have with couples…Trust! Every couple knows undoubtedly that their day is in great hands with Marryment! If I had money on the line I would put my money on them any day of the weekend!

Working out of Lombard, IL, I am a type A planner from the very center of my heart. I love lists, schedules, budgets, and all things organized. Weddings are my passion because they involve so much coordinated detail in every phase of the day from start to finish. I love to see my client's vision for their special day come together with every check off the to do list. I have been coordinating weddings since early 2018, but have been networking in the industry for several years now. I love working with all of the gorgeous venues we have here in the suburbs of Chicago and can't wait to get started planning your dream wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
Wow... just wow. I am SO beyond grateful that I chose Grayter Events for my day-of wedding coordination. It was truly one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. Everything went so perfectly and seamlessly, and I didn't have to stress about a single thing the entire day because BreAnn had it all covered. She thought of absolutely everything. I think she opened at least 10 water bottles for me just to make sure I was actually drinking water! She was always one step ahead, making sure I had everything I needed before I even realized I needed it. Even at the rehearsal, I didn't have to do anything. BreAnn jumped right in, knew exactly what to do, and confidently took charge. She was organized, calm, and assertive in the best way possible. Watching her handle so many moving pieces without ever looking stressed was honestly incredible. Her calmness helped keep me calm too. Because of BreAnn, I was actually able to be fully present and enjoy every second of my wedding day instead of worrying about timelines, vendors, or what was happening next. She made my wedding day exactly what I had dreamed of, and I will forever be thankful for everything she did. If you're on the fence about hiring a wedding coordinator, DO IT—and hire Grayter Events. I truly cannot recommend BreAnn and her team enough. She is beyond organized, so kind, incredibly hardworking, and genuinely cares about making your day perfect. She is simply the best, and I can't imagine my wedding day without her.

Jamie and Natalie made sure that we knew to approach them with any questions that we might have with anything, they responded quickly and even made the effort to call us whenever we asked to talk on the phone for further clarification on some questions we had. My husband and I got so many compliments from our guests that the food was great, which was such a relief to hear!

This June my husband and I hosted a college graduation party for our youngest daughter. We had it outdoors in the tent. The service was amazing. I was worried about rain and the helped me have a back up location indoors. The food was amazing and the day of the event the Director was there to make sure everything went smooth!! Our event had 60 peopleI would high recommend Itasca Country Club!! Love love love the people at the club!!

Bogdanov Photography was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding day. From the moment we first connected, Svat was outgoing, reachable, and prompt in his communication, putting us at ease throughout the entire planning process. He gave us a comprehensive checklist and many tips for the makeup trial, rain preparation, and building our shot list. His detail-oriented, gorgeous photography captured all the special moments of our day in a truly high-quality and affordable way. He was flexible and generous with his time and saved us quite a bit of money finding the perfect package to suit our exact needs. Svat went above and beyond, even gifting us beautiful Polaroid photos just before we left for the evening. We were crunched for time before the ceremony, but he was still able to capture so many meaningful moments that surprised us and beautiful accessory layouts. We couldn't be happier with our forever photos - Svat went above and beyond and we highly recommend his work to any couple looking for an amazing wedding photographer.
