My husband and I had our wedding reception at the Evanston Woman's Club and couldn't have been happier with how it turned out. The venue is absolutely beautiful, and Gretchen is very communicative, friendly, and easy to work with. The vendors she put us in touch with also did a great job. We were also very happy knowing that our fee to use the venue went to support the philanthropic work of the Woman's Club. Book the Woman's Club, you won't be disappointed :)

Firehouse Chicago is magical! My husband and I got married here on the Friday of Labor day weekend and we had the best day of our lives! We toured a few places a year prior and when we left our tour for Firehouse Chicago, we just knew this must be the place! What stands out about Firehouse Chicago is the people, Sarah and Teddy are wonderful to work with for all your planning needs, which trust me as a type A person, I had so many questions. They approached every question with care and really supported our vision and if our vision changed, they were down for that too! Firehouse Chicago provides a thoughtful vendor list that really made all the wedding planning seamless and our vendors all mentioned how much they love working at Firehouse Chicago! The space itself is perfect. I love plants and being outdoors so having our ceremony in the garden area was truly a dream come true. The Firehouse is so well decorated and furnished so well that you don’t have to do a lot of wedding decor. We loved that space immediately and seeing it full of everyone we love at our wedding was incredible! So to summarize, the venue was perfect, our wedding flowed so well and felt like us, and was the perfect backdrop to celebrate our love story. Sarah, Teddy, Heidi, and Shanna were the BEST to work with. We are truly grateful for the care and attention Firehouse Chicago provided us during the planning process and day of!!

Crystal, the event director at Parson’s, was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we started planning, she felt like so much more than an event coordinator—she was, for all intents and purposes, like having an incredibly skilled wedding planner by our side. She was thoughtful, intuitive, and completely in tune with the vibe we were going for—even when we couldn’t quite put it into words ourselves. On the big day, when we arrived for our surprise wedding, Crystal immediately picked up on our nerves and somehow knew exactly what we needed to feel calm and grounded. That kind of attentiveness is rare, and it meant everything to us. Her coordination was seamless, and her staff were equally incredible—warm, professional, and so clearly invested in making the day special. It’s honestly hard to put into words just how wonderful our wedding was at Parson’s. Thanks to Crystal, it felt effortless, joyful, and completely us. We will be forever grateful.

We were drawn to Colvin House because of the mansion's historic details, but believe it truly shines when paired with the talents of Pyrite Sun, their in-house planning, catering, rentals, and floral team. We met with Sarah (Colvin's Events Manager/Owner of Pyrite Sun) to tour the space and ended up hiring Pyrite Sun for our entire wedding at Colvin House. Not only was it convenient to have everything under one roof, but we had a personalized wedding experience like no other–complete with vintage furniture, plates, and coupes, the most incredible floral from Colvin's gardens, and a customized food menu that our guests still rave about. I also love that Sarah recommends great vendors they've worked with and happily coordinates whatever you need with any other vendors you'd like to hire, as well. Overall, an incredibly special experience you won't find anywhere else. Thank you, Colvin House and Pyrite Sun, for making our vintage glamour wedding dreams come true!

The open kitchen layout added a warm, communal feel that worked beautifully for our intimate gathering. It was exactly what we needed—comfortable, modern, and easy to make our own. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, we did experience a hiccup with the booking that made me a little nervous about how things would unfold. That said, Jordyn stepped in and handled the situation with care. She coordinated directly with our vendors to ensure everything ran smoothly on the day of the event, and I really appreciated that effort. Her involvement helped ease my nerves and allowed me to enjoy the day. Overall, the space was a great fit, and I would absolutely recommend it to others planning a small or medium-sized event. It struck the right balance between functional and beautiful, and with the right team in place, it made for a memorable and meaningful celebration.

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!!

Lisa and her team are, hands down, the best group of people I have ever met and would hire them 100% again and again. Lisa ensured she understood what our vision was by asking thorough and detailed questions. She went above and beyond contacting our venue and all necessary vendors to make sure everything ran smoothly. If there was ever an issue, she solved it without worrying us. And the day of our wedding, several of our guests informed us how amazing her and her teams’ service, professionalism, and how invested she is… not to mention how delicious all the food was, requiring seconds and thirds!!! There aren’t enough words to explain how phenomenal Lisa and her team are and how if it weren’t for Lisa, we wouldn’t have had the wedding of our dreams come true.

I worked with LNF for over a year to plan my dream wedding. We knew we wanted to go a little unconventional from the standard type of venue and let me say it PAID OFF. From the planning perspective: I want to give all my kudos to Brianna from the events team for everything she did! She was in constant communication with me about everything from food selections to reception layout and was so kind throughout the entire process. She helped me feel empowered with the decisions we were making and helped with monthly touch bases to go over details to weekly once we got close to the wedding. She made sure I had everything I needed and helped make our vision come to life! From the venue/event perspective: Our guests are still raving about this wedding two weeks out. The family style entrees gave everyone more than enough food that was delicious and the bar staff was getting into the party with us as much as we were! Everyone was attended to in a timely manner and the entire staff played a huge role in making the night so welcoming and engaging. The layout worked perfectly for our group, too. The garden transformed into our dance floor that easily fit all of our guests together and the rooftop served as such a unique and beautiful setting for our ceremony. I truthfully don’t have enough positive things to say about the staff and the venue. Not to mention that the pricing for our event was all inclusive (bar, food, venue, DJ, decor, etc.) which made it super easy to keep track of everything and was also WAY more affordable than other venues within the area. Thank you, LNF, for the best experience I could’ve asked for going into my big day!

Bookclub is one of my favorite places to be at in the world. Its charm, spirit, and ethos resonates deeply with me. I could list many other things about the space that I love, but I think the one that should be highlighted the most is the staff and owners of the venue. They truly go above and beyond to make the space so incredibly warm and welcoming to everyone. Every time I have a nice chat with someone there, I leave feeling my soul nourished. Maybe I’m a sap, but I truly have had some of the most pleasant experiences at this space. If you were to ever be lucky to go there, tell them Wayne says hi! I’m sure they’d love to hear it :)

John was always available to answer questions, and what I really appreciated was that he didn't use annoying sales tactics like other places that try to pressure you into booking a space; he provided me with the information I needed and then answered questions and provided adequate advice/feedback along the way. Additionally, the flexibility to find your own vendors to bring your event to life was what made me choose this place over others.

Royal Palms has always held a special place in our hearts. At the beginning of our relationship, I joined a league with my now-husband’s best friends. Shuffleboard (and Shuffleboard Bobs) brought us together, and they welcomed me into the group. We were league regulars and made some great memories, even though we rarely won a game. When we got engaged, we knew we wanted an untraditional wedding experience and were so excited that Royal Palms was willing to host us - their first wedding! Their events coordinator, Taylor, was just as enthusiastic and worked closely with us to plan an incredible event. We walked down a shuffleboard aisle on the roof while the Blue Line passed behind us, making for some incredible photos. Captain Scott gave our guests tutorials while they ate Big Star tacos from a truck and drank amazing cocktails. The energy was incredible, and it meant the world to us to see our families and friends connecting over rounds of shuffleboard. Hosting was easy - the space is already so beautiful that we did not bring in any decorations! No flowers or linens needed. Catering from a food truck was fun and unique. The photo station was fully stocked with props. The AV equipment was ready for a DJ and we kept our custom playlist bumping all night. The bartenders kept energy high and drinks flowing all night (truly the best bar in the city, in my opinion!). We danced and ate and played for hours. Our guests still talk about this night to this day. It was a party to remember, which is exactly what we wanted. Even better than the wonderful memories, pictures, and stories is the fact that we can go back whenever we want to relive the night. Even after two kids, we still make a point of playing a round of shuffleboard every year on our anniversary - it will be 6 years this fall! We cannot thank the Royal Palms staff enough for working with us. They are high-energy and fun, and they are also professional and take their clients’ experience very seriously. You would never know ours was their first wedding - they had every single detail covered, resulting in a seamless night. I look back on that night with nothing but happy memories. I wouldn’t change a single thing!

Café Brauer was my absolute dream venue, and the entire experience exceeded every expectation. The space is stunning, the architecture and historic charm speak for themselves and hardly need additional décor to feel wedding ready. We had the pleasure of working with Ellen from our first tour to the day-of (and even after!) and she was incredible every step of the way. Ellen was extremely attentive, she answered every question and handled every request with such grace and care. I always felt supported, and she truly went above and beyond—coordinating seamlessly with our planner, florist, and other vendors to ensure our day was nothing short of perfect. It meant so much to feel like someone genuinely cared about our day through it all. We also used Café Brauer’s in-house caterer, Tigerlily, and the compliments haven’t stopped rolling in. Guests are still reaching out to us—as well as our parents—saying it was the most beautiful wedding they’ve attended and hands-down the best wedding food they’ve ever had. I couldn’t recommend Café Brauer and Ellen more. It was everything we dreamed of and more!!
