Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- This award-winning family-owned spot in the O'Hare area combines two of our favorite qualities in a wedding venue—real versatility and all-inclusive ease. Only two miles from the ORD airport, it's an especially convenient option for out-of-towners. An impressive four-tiered fountain welcomes guests to your ceremony in the outdoor tent, a beautifully breezy setting that pairs seamlessly with the indoor spaces.
- You have three elegant ballrooms to choose from, accommodating 200–400 seated guests. All three have their own vibe, each with thoughtful decorative touches—ornate coffered ceilings and drapery in the Versailles Ballroom, a sleek neutral palette and gold sconces in the Athaneum, and shimmering chandeliers and a built-in bar in the Normandy.
- They offer a huge range of packages to meet a host of needs, from micro-weddings to multi-day gatherings—including South Asian and cultural celebrations—and the experienced staff delights in helping put together al the details. The affordable rates cover everything you need, including an open bar, delicious dinner, wine service, a custom cake, and more!
