  • Up to 250 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor

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.

Following our engagement, my husband and I were eager to tie the knot within a few months but wished to sidestep the typical stresses associated with wedding planning. Enter Kylie, whose invaluable assistance allowed us to relish our brief engagement period while navigating a seamless and stress-free planning process. Guiding everyone through the where and when, meticulously overseeing everything from decorations to music and food, Kylie granted us the luxury of merely showing up and savoring the results of her hard work with our nearest and dearest friends and family. Her meticulous attention to detail, organization, exceptional communication skills, and boundless creativity played pivotal roles in crafting a smooth, intimate day that will forever be etched in our memories. Moreover, Kylie's warm and personable nature put both my husband and me, as well as all our wedding attendees, at ease. Thanks to Kylie's unwavering dedication, our wedding day surpassed perfection and exceeded our wildest expectations. We are profoundly grateful for her assistance, and if given the chance to relive the experience, we would choose her a thousand times over!

Owner and operator Amanda is a talented individual that takes great joy in serving couples as they celebrate life’s precious milestones. 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!

My husband and I loved working with sugargoat for our wedding. As someone who doesn’t love cake but wanted the traditional experience of a cake cutting - I reached out to sugargoat to coordinate a tasting as I was intrigued by their adventurous flavors. We were able to set up a tasting quickly - the tasting consisted of their traditional flavors and a custom flavor that my husband and I came up with on our own - Peanut Butter, Jelly, Potato Chip. The bakery turned our flavor into the most delicious cupcake, so of course we included it as one of the layers in our wedding cake. I emailed inspiration photos of how I wanted our cake to look, and the team at sugargoat exceeded our expectations. Everyone was kind, and we loved communicating with Brennan. The team at sugargoat seemed genuinely excited about our wedding and our cake, it was nice to feel a personal connection with them vs. feeling like a number to them. Sadly on our wedding day, we did not have a piece of cake saved for her to eat, so I reached out to Brennan and they were able to make us a small cake of our custom flavor which we could eat on our Anniversary. 10/10

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.

We had the pleasure and privilege of working with Fabiola, Lisa, and Jill as our event managers at the Marriott Chicago Southwest at Burr Ridge for our wedding weekend in April 2025. Throughout the planning process (January 2024 - April 2025), we probably had more than 100 questions varying in detail, and Fabiola / Lisa consistently answered our questions holistically with patience and grace. The staff is very knowledgeable and experienced with hosting Indian weddings successfully, which made the planning even easier. When the time came, Marriott worked seamlessly with all of our vendors and shielded us from logistics that we didn't need to get involved with. This took a huge load off of our shoulders, and gave us the space to prepare for our big day. Beyond helping perfect the details of the actual wedding events, Marriott was very helpful and responsive with helping us manage our hotel guest room block. Whether we needed an ad-hoc report of our currently booked rooms and/or a quick turn-around of adding more rooms to the block, they were always quick and happy to help. We would truly use the word "perfect" to describe how the weekend came together and it would not have been possible without all of the help, support and guidance from the Marriott staff. Thank you so much, we will always be grateful! We would 100% recommend the Marriott at Burr Ridge for any of your events, you will be in fantastic hands!

From the picturesque lakeside to the heart of the city, I specialize in crafting timeless engagement and wedding photos that reflect the love and joy of couples saying, "will you marry me?" and "I do" in Chicago. Chicago’s skyline is a masterpiece, and I take pride in capturing its grandeur. My architectural photography brings out the unique character of each building, from historic landmarks to modern skyscrapers.

Kunleidoscope Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From our first conversation, Phil and his team were clear, concise, friendly, thoughtful, and accommodating in their communication style. Their elegant, thorough, and beautiful work captured every moment of our special day with excellence. Phil made sure to capture the specific moments and poses that we wanted, and he navigated our hectic day of wedding preparation seamlessly to get wonderful shots of us getting ready. We definitely recommend Kunleidoscope Photography to anyone looking for a high quality photographer with great prices!

We recently had the absolute pleasure of working with John at Chicago Top DJ for our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the beginning, John was professional, personable, and really took into account our vision for the day. He was so easy to work with and made our reception unforgettable. The planning process was seamless. John took the time to meet with us beforehand to understand our preferences and what vibe we were going for. He helped us curate the perfect playlist, blending our favorite songs with crowd-pleasers that got everyone on the dance floor. He even took note what songs we wanted to avoid and he made sure not to play them. On the big day, John was amazing. His charisma and energy were infectious. He read the room and played exactly what the crowd needed over the course of the night. From the cocktail hour to the last song, the music was spot-on. He perfectly balanced the mood, starting with more relaxed tunes and gradually building to a high-energy party that had everyone dancing until the very end. John interacted with the crowd, hyped people up, and created an amazing atmosphere. He had great transitions and timing for announcements. We didn’t worry about a thing during the reception, he took care of keeping track of the timeline of events and made everything stress-free so we really could just enjoy. We and our guests had an incredible time dancing the night away. It was exactly what we wanted. John went above and beyond to make our wedding day special, and we’ll be forever grateful for the memories he helped us create. We could not recommend him enough, he knows how to throw an unforgettable party.
