Meyer’s Castle is such a hidden gem—you’d never expect to find a place like this in the Midwest! I’ve had the chance to shoot two weddings here, and both times were such a dream. The venue itself is stunning and feels like a little escape from the everyday. But what really makes it stand out is the team. The staff is always so kind and helpful, especially Kate—not just with the couples, but with us vendors too, which honestly makes the day run so much smoother. I can’t wait for the next time I get to come back and create more magic within those castle walls. Forever a fan of this place.

We had an amazing experience with the Sculpture Garden at Bridgeport Art Center. We started our process with Claire who was super accommodating with a last minute Friday evening tour to accommodate my work schedule, once we booked we worked with Eleanor who was also wonderful. Communication with both was timely and efficient and they were super patient with all my questions! The space itself was stunning, guests are still commenting on it a month later! For us it was awesome to have an “outdoor wedding” that didn’t need a rain plan due to the cover on the ceremony space. You felt like you were outside with more of the comforts of an inside space, and the pictures turned out amazing with the natural light, tall ceilings and chandeliers! The indoor space is just as lovely and the night flowed beautifully thanks to the venue team!

Lacuna Lofts saved the day after our first venue closed. We loved the unique space. The food was amazing—some of our guests said it was the best wedding dinner they've ever had! (The mashed potatoes were a real crowd pleaser.) It ended up raining on our wedding day, so we had to pivot and have our ceremony in Magik Street rather than the skydeck. The space worked perfectly with our flowers, and our guests still got to grab photos on the roof during cocktail hour.

Beautiful venue and stunning for the price compared to a lot of locations. Really easy to work with but we found ourselves repeating details A LOT and yet some of them got lost anyways - for example, I had made a full allergy list for the reception organized by table, and yet staff brought me (the bride) food I am dangerously allergic to. It was fixed quickly but annoying because I’d spent so much time preparing this and details got lost anyways. This happened in multiple ways. Several things—ceremony set up, rehearsal timeline, etc—were easily fixed, but shouldn’t have needed to be fixed in the first place, given the amount of prep we did.

The Hilton Chicago was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, Rob and his team met us with enthusiasm, responsive communication, and a determination to make sure everything was perfect. The quality of their work and the value of this stunning, one-of-a-kind historic venue exceeded our expectations. They seamlessly transitioned our event from the ceremony to the cocktail hour to the reception, and the bar and table service was extremely responsive and efficient. Our guests who stayed and the hotel and vendors working in and out of the hotel had no complaints or confusion in their day. So many of our guests said it was the nicest wedding they had ever been to, and we completely agree! We loved working with Rob and his team to create an unforgettable day, thank you to everyone at the Hilton who works so hard to pull off events like ours regularly.

I couldn't be happier with our decision to book The Carter as our wedding venue! The staff made the night go flawlessly. My wedding coordinator even commented how impressed she was with how quick their staff was able to move throughout setup during the day. She also complimented the catering coordinator as being a complete pro. With The Carter you are required to use their caterer, D'Absolute, but that was not a problem for us because the food was phenomenal. Wedding food can be hit or miss, but we had multiple guests raving about everything from the apps to the late night snacks. Chris allowed us to include 2 signature drinks and customized our bar menu to whatever we wanted. Since I got married on my birthday Chris even upgraded our glassware free of charge which was such a sweet, unexpected gesture! They are very flexible with how you want to use the space, which I loved because we were able to make the event truly unique. What sold me on the space is that you don't need to add much additional decor because it's so beautiful on its own. The connecting courtyard comes with string lights. The interior space includes multiple chandeliers and string lights over the dance floor. Most other places you'd need to bring those details in, and pay for them. What I also love about the space is you get the "lofty, urban" feel without all of the pillars/poles in a typical loft space. You get high ceilings and an open floor plan, which makes the space look so much nicer (in my opinion). The cost is a little pricier than other venues we explored, however I 100% think we paid for higher quality and I have zero regrets.

Our experience with Walden, Krystle and Ally was amazing. From the very start they made it so easy to plan our dream destination wedding. It was magical. The Walden team is very organized and helped us stay on top of things. They were very accommodating and made us feel comfortable every step of the way. The food and drinks were incredible - everything was delicious and the portions were huge! 95% of our wedding guests do not live in Chicago, including us, and we have had so much feedback from our family and friends about how much they loved the entire wedding. From decision making to day-of, Krystle and Ally were there for us and answered any questions we had. I would 10000% recommend this venue to everyone looking.

We had our wedding reception at Silver Lake Country Club and were thrilled with our experience from start to finish. Amy and her team were amazing to work with - efficient and personal in their communication, helping us every step of the way as we planned our big day. The venue itself is beautiful and surprisingly affordable for being so close by. Amy talked us through what to expect and then she and her crew helped decorate the space perfectly. Janine and the rest of the Silver Lake staff were also fantastic during the event itself. The venue was the ideal backdrop for our reception and Amy's guidance made our wedding flow smoothly. We're so grateful to the entire Silver Lake team for helping create such special memories on our wedding day.

We absolutely loved having our wedding day at Fairlie and would have it there 100 times again. The beauty of this space is that you can really make it yours with whatever decor you choose to bring in. Alexis and Alex at Fairlie are incredibly easy to work with, super laid back, and are just as excited about your big day as you are. The romantic vibes that we got in this space at golden hour just elevated our wedding that much more, and the exposed brick really made this a unique venue for our city wedding. The curtains allow for an easy way to flip the space and also are just beautiful paired with the tall ceilings. Our guests loved how big the bar was because they felt there was never too long of a wait for a drink. So many good things to say — we love Fairlie so much!!!!

Wildman BT is a great, unique space in Chicago for a wedding! Michelle, Valentina, and the Wildman BT team were great at bringing our vision to life. My husband and I wanted to host a cocktail style reception. Neither of us had been to a wedding like this before but Wildman BT helped us decide on chair counts, station placement, and floor plan layout to encourage the vibe we were going for. We love the openness of the space, media wall, and beautiful bathrooms!
