“My husband and I got married at Meyer's Castle in early November, 2025. It was the most beautiful day ever, no matter that it was cold and rainy! We first fell in love with the venue when we toured in August 2024, and then after seeing a few other venues we went back to Meyer's for another tour and booked it. Everyone was so excited about the venue and still talks about it. Our coordinator Eva was a rock star on the day of the wedding! She was so helpful in reassuring me and getting me answers leading up to the wedding, but nothing can surpass how amazing she was on the day off. She took care of everything! She managed problems without me having to even hear them, she advocated for us, she helped decorate, and made us feel seen and taken care of. It began to rain shortly before the ceremony time and she made sure we got the idyllic outdoor ceremony of our dreams, and had umbrellas on hand as needed. She was there for the entire day and my sister couldn't stop singing her praises! We loved our wedding so much and highly recommend Meyer's Castle and Eva! Our photographer said the venue was a photographers dream, we got compliments on the food, and everyone had a great time! A day I would happily revisit anytime.”

“My husband and I recently got married at the stunning Lakefront Pavilion at Bay Pointe Inn — and from the very beginning, we knew it was the place we wanted to say “I do.” We have absolutely no regrets! The venue is breathtaking on its own, with gorgeous waterfront views that created the most peaceful, romantic atmosphere. On top of that, the staff’s hospitality was next-level. They provided so much helpful guidance throughout the planning process and truly made everything feel seamless. Even without a wedding planner, I felt fully supported thanks to their incredible in-house catering and event managers (shoutout to Mariesa and Juno!) and our amazing day-of coordinator, Meagan. She ran the show flawlessly and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect — I truly can’t thank her enough. We also hosted our rehearsal dinner onsite in the Fireside Room, which made everything so easy and gave us extra time to enjoy with our family and wedding party. The food was delicious, and another huge perk was staying in the beautiful Bay Pointe cottages. Having a place right at the venue for all of us to stay and celebrate together made the weekend even more special. All night long, our guests raved about how beautiful the venue was. It was everything we dreamed of and more — the most magical place to start our forever. We truly couldn’t recommend Bay Pointe more!!”

“We had Xavier and Kaley for our wedding at Journeyman in November, and they were absolutely incredible to work with. From start to finish, they made the entire experience feel effortless. Their communication was clear, their energy was warm and positive, and they truly went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. Everyone loved the food—it was delicious and beautifully presented! The servers were so nice too!! At one point, we realized we needed to add an extra table, and Xavier and Kaley were so accommodating. They made it completely seamless and just made it happen, which took such a weight off our shoulders. You can tell they genuinely care about the couples they work with. They anticipated needs before we even said them out loud, kept everything organized behind the scenes, and made us feel supported and relaxed the entire day. Our guests even commented on how kind and professional they were. Xavier and Kaley played such a big part in making our day unforgettable, and we couldn’t be more grateful. If you’re getting married at Journeyman, ask for them—you will be in the absolute best hands. 3”

“My fiancé and I discovered the hidden gem of 19 North by Froehlich's while initially visiting for a delightful breakfast at Froehlich's restaurant. We were thrilled to learn it doubles as a stunning wedding venue! From the grandeur of the 8-foot chandelier and star-like pendant lights to the vintage charm of the ornate tin ceiling tiles, this venue marries historical preservation with modern elegance. The impressive wooden doors promise an unforgettable ceremony entrance, complemented by antique lounge sets and a private entrance through a picturesque glass atrium, perfect for a cocktail hour. The photos I'm including are frames from a video I took during the tour and they simply do not do this beautiful space justice! As a Chicago couple seeking a beautiful wedding without the metropolitan price tag, we were thrilled by 19 North's proximity to Chicago and charming towns like Three Oaks, New Buffalo, and Michigan City. The all-inclusive experience, from the beautiful furnishings to the option of building a custom menu, means fewer details to manage and more time to enjoy the journey to our special day. There are also tons of walkable Airbnbs which will be great for us and our out-of-town guests. The array of options and pricing transparency for catering and staffing have been impressive, reflecting the venue's commitment to ease and excellence. Drew, our point of contact, embodies professionalism and attentiveness, answering every query quickly with patience and insight. For those on the market for a wedding venue that promises a seamless blend of historical allure and contemporary services, look no further. I wholeheartedly recommend scheduling a visit to 19 North by Froehlich's - a true embodiment of vintage elegance and an all-encompassing wedding experience. We eagerly await our wedding day at this enchanting venue and are confident it will create memories that we and our guests will cherish forever!”

“I highly recommend William's Orchard as your venue if you're considering it. Throughout the wedding planning process the team was communicative and helpful. They were accommodating down to the last day before the wedding, helping our dream come to life. The team had great ideas too when it came to catering and small details that ultimately improved our guest experience. The venue itself is gorgeous and our guests had a blast.

“Once we found The Lodge at Rush Lakes for our wedding venue, we knew it was the one! Logan and Dustin are the most down to earth and thoughtful guys who helped make our wedding day everything we dreamt of, plus more! We met with them multiple times on the property to go over everything wedding related. We live over 2 hours away and this place was worth the drive every single time! I could not recommend Rush Lakes enough to anyone looking for a wedding venue, special occasion, reunion, family gathering, bridal shower, baby shower, etc. We also worked with a handful of vendors recommended by Logan that have done events at Rush Lakes before, so the process was so incredibly easy! Being able to spend the weekend with our pups, friends, and family before and after our wedding day made it so much more special too. Being able to have our dogs be a part of our day meant everything to us and Rush Lakes made that possible. The whole property is stunning, there is not one bad spot for photos! Everything was perfect and I could talk highly about Rush Lakes for days on end. THE PERFECT VENUE!!! I miss it every single day. Thank you Logan and Dustin for making the wedding of my dreams possible!!!”
