    Best Venue of all Time!

    I cannot rate The Monte Bello Estate higher. Not only is the venue absolutely gorgeous and unique, but their team is so kind and will match your excitement through the entire process! We worked with Abbey to plan and Lauren in the final months and on the big day and we cannot thank those women enough. It rained on our day and at first I was disappointed until I saw how perfect their rain location is!! Floor to ceiling windows, natural lighting! They used the florals I was going to use for an outdoor arch to line the aisles and it was BEAUTIFUL! Their team checked in, throughout the day, answered questions, and Lauren even helped me pin up my dress when the bustle fell. I cannot think of a better venue, a better team, or a more magical place to hold your wedding ceremony and reception. Thank you to the Monte Bello for making the day absolutely perfect - no notes! It was perfect!

    Our Dream Wedding!

    We want to start off by saying that The Monte Bello Estate was the first, and ONLY, venue we visited when selecting a wedding venue. As soon as we pulled up we knew we were someplace special. This venue somehow combines rolling green hills, beautiful trees, and a beautiful estate and as soon as you pull up you will quickly understand how stunning The Monte Bello is. We met with Lauren for our tour/meeting and she made our decision even easier! Lauren is incredibly nice, informative, and helpful, and she remained that way throughout our entire wedding planning process. She really is the best and we made sure to tell the owner of The Monte Bello the same thing towards the end of our wedding when he popped in to see how everything was going.
    Beyond the amazing grounds and staff, the estate itself is absolutely gorgeous. They had made some renovations to the estate, reception area, and bathrooms prior to our wedding and all the updates they made were a 10/10. We had our ceremony in the “forest” location, which was amazing, with a champagne/water station for guests to grab a drink on their way to get seated. The reception was inside and all of our 200+ guests fit perfectly (shoutout Lauren for being so helpful with arranging the tables and making the most of the space!). We have received so many compliments on the food and drinks, whether it was the hors d’oeuvres, cocktails, dinners, desserts, or our wedding cake, everything was outstanding. We really can’t recommend The Monte Bello Estate enough. It is such a beautiful venue, there’s no way you would ever regret having your wedding here. The amount of compliments we’ve received since the wedding are countless and we are so happy we had our wedding here. If you’re currently searching for a wedding venue, PLEASE set up a time to visit The Monte Bello Estate. We will never forget the day we had here! Thank you so much!

    The Most Magical Day Ever, Thanks to The Monte Bello

    This venue was the only venue that my now husband and I visited. We knew we didn't want the traditional hotel or country club venue and wanted something different but with a twist of our personality. The Monte Bello was everything we were looking for and exceeded expectations for not only us as the bride and groom but all of our guests raved about how amazing the venue was and it’s still being raved about two months after the wedding!

    The dream wedding venue

    The Monte Bello Estate was the best decision that my husband and I made during our wedding planning process. First and foremost, every aspect and detail of the property is STUNNING. The beautiful scenery combined with their exceptional team, made our decision easy. Lauren and their team invested time in understanding our unique preferences as a couple and maintained consistent and timely communication throughout the process. They extended their support by providing recommendations for other vendors and valuable planning insights. Their readiness to address our questions and concerns was greatly appreciated. On the day of our wedding, their meticulous coordination was instrumental in ensuring that everything ran as planned. Our guests were exceptionally well-cared for, ensuring a worry-free experience while vendors set up. Furthermore, the attentive team ensured that both my husband and I were never without food or drinks. Even in the face of a minor dress bustle mishap, Lauren's quick thinking and resourcefulness helped save the day. The beautiful landscape, reception space, the team's level of professionalism and dedication truly made our wedding day perfect. We wholeheartedly credit the Monte Bello team for the beautiful, perfect day that we had!

    The wedding venue and staff of our dreams!!

    From our first visit at the Monte Bello Estate, we knew it was the perfect venue for our wedding. We loved the stunning grounds and the gorgeous estate, each room is more beautiful than the next, but what made MBE our dream space is truly the incredible staff! We had the pleasure of working with Lauren and Abbey as well as other team members throughout, who all made us feel like family. They matched our excitement, answered all of our questions timely and ultimately went above and beyond to bring all of our inspiration to life. We feel so grateful for the team making the whole process so easy!!

    Our big day in August 2023 was everything we hoped for and so much more, the most magical day of our lives!! With all of the awesome renovations, we along with our favorite people got to enjoy the most elegant and unforgettable experience. The bridal and groom suites had the exact vibes we were going for, aesthetically beautiful for the gals and fun games for the guys, which made us feel so relaxed that we genuinely enjoyed the time with our wedding party while getting ready. We intentionally opted to have our ceremony inside, and it was the perfect intimate moment in which all of our 180 guests fit comfortably.

    There are so many gorgeous photo ops, and everything is so perfectly laid out that it felt totally natural to pause for photos and continue the fun. The outdoor cocktail hour space was unique to enjoy the grounds more, and our guests loved it!! The food was delicious, and thanks to the lovely MBE “Raise the Bar” event, we had the best additions to our bar and late night snacks. The service team was on point and took care of everything! We would take any excuse to go back, we love Monte Bello & the team so much!! We can’t recommend booking this venue enough.

    Amazing in every way!

    The Monte Bello was the perfect venue for our wedding this past august! Lauren and her team made our day seamless and amazing. She did a great job of staying in tune with us throughout our year of planning. We could not be happier with all of the staff, and would recommend this venue to everyone. Our guests are still talking about the beautiful landscape, food, and details.

    Amazing Wedding Venue!

    We had Abbey as our venue coordinator at the Monte Bello Estate - and we couldn’t have had a better experience. Abbey was so sweet and kind - she made the process so smooth and helped hold our hands through each step.

    She always made herself available for calls, visits, etc. She was also very quick and thorough when responding to emails. She was an enormous help in making sure our big day was perfect - and in the end - it was perfect.

    The Monte Bello Estate makes for the perfect backdrop to your event - all staff members (coordinators, grounds crew, servers, bartenders, etc.) are all the best of the best. Every single person we interacted with there was helpful and kind, and the grounds are absolutely stunning.

    We would highly recommend Monte Bello and we are so happy we had this beautiful place for our wedding!

    A fairytale wedding venue

    My husband and I had our wedding at Monte Bello in June and it was one of the best decisions we've ever made! Monte Bello was the first and only venue we toured because while we had other venue tours planned, once we visited Monte Bello we knew we weren't going to find anything better. Abbey, our venue coordinator, and the rest of the staff were nothing short of amazing throughout the planning process - always staying in touch and offering to help. Throughout planning, I received so many praises about the venue, food, drinks etc so I knew I was in good hands, however, I never expected them to surpass my expectations the way they did. I would joke to my friends that I never heard Abbey and staff tell me "no" to anything - it was always "yes, we can do that!" I received compliments on the food, drinks, and serving staff. While I fell in love with Monte Bello in January 2022, they underwent renovations before my wedding and made the venue even more beautiful than before. We especially enjoyed the updated bridal suite (with balcony!!), gorgeous bathrooms, and additional patios. We are so happy with Monte Bello and I will miss working with Abbey and the rest of the team.

    Amazing Venue/Staff

    We had our 170 guest wedding at Monte Bello Estate this summer and it was absolutely incredible. We received so many compliments about the food being great, the venue staff being extremely accommodating and the grounds being beautiful. One of the reasons we fell in love with Monte Bello when we toured it was because of how unique the house is, as well as how beautiful the grounds are. There are endless possibilities you can do with this venue to make your vision come to life and the staff is willing to help every step of the way. They are extremely responsive and will get back to you on any question you have along the way. The actual day was incredible and my vision completely came to life thanks to their help. I would highly recommend this venue to any bride considering it!

    The Monte Bello Estate's reply:

    Thank you, Briana! We are so glad to know that you and your guests enjoyed your experience at Monte Bello. You and Mark planned an amazing celebration, and it was obvious that your guests enjoyed!

    10 star venue!

    WOW, just wow. I don't even know where to beginning other than, they deserve more than 5 stars. Planning my wedding was SO easy, seamless AND enjoyable when it comes to working with all the employees at The Monte Bello Estate. Lauren K. is a true saint, she was always responsive and such a joy to work with. My dreams were absolutely surpassed when it came to working with them. I recommend anyone in the market for a wedding venue to go here. I even said that, WHEN, Elias and I get pregnant, I would LOVE to have my baby shower here because of how much I loved everything about the venue, the employees, the food, the service and so much more.

    The Monte Bello Estate's reply:

    Thank you so much for sharing this thoughtful review, and these gorgeous photos! We loved working with you and Elias, and hope to see you back for a baby shower in the future!!

    Best Wedding Venue!

    Having our wedding at the Monte Bello Estate was the best decision! Not only are the grounds incredibly beautiful, but their staff is amazing. My husband and I worked closely with Abbey to plan our dream wedding. They helped us navigate all of the little details, and made our day care free and unforgettable! It also felt like they honestly cared about us and making our day special. If you are considering the Estate for your wedding, you won’t regret it! Best venue ever!

    The Monte Bello Estate's reply:

    Paula, you and Matt were such a joy to work with throughout the planning process. We are so glad you were able to enjoy every moment of your special day. Our entire staff really DOES care about every wedding at Monte Bello, and we are so glad you felt that love!

    The Best Experience with The Monte Bello!

    When we first got engaged, the Monte Bello was one of the first venues we looked at and I immediately fell in love with it! From the second we booked a tour, the girls at the Monte Bello were so accommodating and on top of everything. Anything we needed Abbey, and the girls would respond ASAP. As far as the venue goes, the grounds are absolutely stunning. Guests from our wedding still say how it was the most beautiful venue! Everything about the venue is truly perfect! I cannot recommend the Monte Bello Estate enough!

    The Monte Bello Estate's reply:

    Thank you, Stephanie! We had so much fun planning with you and Adam, and loved being part of your special day!

    Get married at Monte Bello!

    I truly can’t find the words to describe how amazing it was to have our wedding at The Monte Bello Estate. It was a no brainer once we went to tour the property but the thing that made it even more magical was getting to work with their amazing team. Everyone was SO helpful from the get go – especially Abbey. They were quick to respond to our endless questions, helped us navigate having to move our wedding date and were beyond helpful the day of (especially since we had to make a last minute call on indoors or outdoors due to rain). Abbey and her team made everything run so smoothly that both my husband and I had zero worries the week leading up to our wedding and the day of. She made us feel like VIPs and was constantly checking in to make sure we had everything we needed and were enjoying ourselves. I would recommend Monte Bello in a heartbeat to anyone that asked – trust me, you won’t regret it!!

    PS. We have had SO many people tell me that the food was the best they’ve ever had at a wedding - everything tasted AMAZING and the tasting was a blast :)

    The Monte Bello Estate's reply:

    Thank you for this thoughtful review, Ashleigh! You and John were such a pleasure to work with, and even when thrown unexpected curveballs, were easy going and optimistic. We are so glad we fought the weather so you could have your outdoor ceremony. Everything came together so beautifully, and we are thrilled to know that everyone loved the food and overall experience!

    100/10 - amazing

    Having our wedding at the Monte Bello Estates was hands down the best decision we could have made! The staff was so accommodating & went above and beyond, especially in planning and replanning our wedding multiple times. Specifically Abbey was amazing at making all our wedding dreams come true, she truly is the best at what she does! The food was amazing and our guests loved the venue!

    The Monte Bello Estate's reply:

    Taylor, you and your family are a household name here at Monte Bello! Thank you for sticking with us through the ups and downs of wedding planning during a global pandemic. We are so glad that you and Jake finally got the wedding you deserved!

    Best venue for a wedding!

    First of all, Monte Bello Estate is a hidden gem in the western suburbs of Chicago. Absolutely stunning grounds with several locations for your ceremony. We chose the forest and cold not be happier! The Estate offers a wonderful place for the bridal party to spend the day getting ready with lots of beautiful backdrops for getting ready photos. The reception room is elegant and inviting to your guests. But one of the biggest reasons we are so so happy that we had our daughter's wedding there is the staff!! Hands down the best!! Communication was excellent and very friendly. They also had lots of creative ideas and were always eager to help when asked. I want to adopt Abbey into our family! Oh, and the food is delicious!! Our guests are still commenting on how good the appetizers and meal tasted. Run don't walk to check this venue out for your wedding!!! I wish we could do it all over again!

    The Monte Bello Estate's reply:

    Desiree, you and your family were the true MVPs on this one!! Your vision was larger than life and was perfectly executed with a stellar vendor team! From Kelly at Shannon Gail, to Kerri Carlquist capturing the day and the epic custom-made door entrance when it was time to day “I Do…” the day could not have been more special. No adoption necessary… you’re all forever part of the Monte Bello family! ❤️

    Look no further for your wedding venue!

    I got married this past October at The Monte Bello Estate, and I can't begin to describe the perfection that is this venue. I'm from the area and knew I wanted something cozy, unique, beautiful and accommodating of 250 guests, and I found that at Monte Bello. From the different location options to have our ceremony at, to the twinkly lit cocktail hour, all the way to our beautiful, fun and elegant reception space. It was nothing short of a fairytale. You can have a beautiful space, but what is it without the TLC of the staff? I couldn't even imagine planning my wedding without the help from our wedding coordinator at Monte Bello, Abbey Casteel. Abbey is friendly, responsive, organized, thoughtful and really makes you feel taken care of. When the bakery we chose at the food tasting was no longer available for our date, and we were pretty set on their flavor, Abbey went above and beyond to reach out to approved baker vendors to help us find our perfect cake. We absolutely couldn't love her more!! I was blown away with the different events MB had for the future couples like the food tasting, and cocktail hour tasting which just added to our wonderful experience at the estate. I wish we could go back to 10.16 at Monte Bello every day and I could not recommend this space more for your wedding!!

    The Monte Bello Estate's reply:

    Oh Nikki! We’d relive your dreamy wedding over and over if we could! It was such a delight to work with you and your wonderful families. We loved dreaming up your perfect day, and were overjoyed to see it come to life! Best wishes to you and Jimmy! ❤️ Abbey and your MB family!

    The Monte Bello Is An Amazing Venue

    My beautiful bride and I got married here on 10/15/21. The venue is gorgeous. We were hoping for more fall foliage for our pictures but with the 80's we've had for good chunk of October, that didn't happen, but that's ok! We worked with Abbey at the venue since spring of 2020. She was awesome. Very knowledgeable and very responsive to our questions. My groomsmen and I got ready there the morning of in the basement. It was decked out with a small bar, poker table, craps table, fooseball, pool table, and old school juke box. It was awesome. Our wedding itself was held by the gazebo outside. There are many locations to choose from to get married and we found that was the best for us. I highly highly recommend this venue for your wedding/event!

    The Monte Bello Estate's reply:

    Who would have thought that October would give us such AMAZING weather?! We cannot wait to see all the photos from your fall day, and are so glad that you all took advantage of the amenities Monte Bello offers. Thank you for trusting Monte Bello with your wedding day!

    Perfect Wedding Venue

    The Monte Bello Estate is the absolute perfect wedding venue!!! To this day, our friends and family rave about what a beautiful and unique setting/atmosphere this estate provides! The food was delicious, the grounds make for the most beautiful photos, and everyone there was such a pleasure to work with throughout our entire wedding planning process! Abbey (the venue coordinator) is so thoughtful, detail oriented, flexible and was continually willing to remind me "it's your day" any time a detail or decision was discussed!! She was such an enormous help throughout the entire wedding day, and it truly was the smoothest day and most fun we've ever had thanks in such large part to the Monte Bello team! They were always so mindful of the timeline, always so mindful of keeping a drink in our hands, and always so helpful with keeping our vendors on task/in the loop! They're amazing at what they do! Having our wedding at The Monte Bello was the best decision we could have made! Thank you to the entire team :)

    The Monte Bello Estate's reply:

    Awww! Alex, it was YOUR day, and we were happy to work beside your vendor team to make it everything you envisioned and more. We could not have asked for better weather, and are so glad that you were able to sit back and savor the day. Happy memories to last a lifetime!!!

    Picture Perfect

    This venue is a fairytale come true!! Every detail from the house, to the decor, to the lovely prairie is mesmerizing! The first time we visited took my breath away! I love how personal we made it and the space allowed for endless possibilities. Our guests were beyond impressed with the venue, with our wedding coordinator (Sarah), and with the FOOD!!! A huge bear hug for Sarah! We had some scheduling issues and the way she still kept us on track was incredible. To make a COVID bride happy is nearly impossible, but I couldn’t be more happy with the outcome! My biggest tip if you have the ceremony at the venue is to get early access because you’ll want all the prep time you can get. This is a very unique way to celebrate your big day!! There’s no need to look anywhere else. The Monte Bello Estate will blow you away!

    Could not have asked for a better venue!

    The Monte Bello was an absolute dream wedding venue. I could not have been happier with the service, the food, the ambiance etc. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous and lend themselves so well to photos. I've gotten SO many compliments on how beautiful our venue was. It's a one stop shop! Ceremony, photos and reception venue. Made our day so special.

    Sarah S. was specifically so delightful to work with. She was kind, helpful and made my family feel so comfortable. She was a joy!

    Dream come true!

    We could not be more happy and thankful that we decided to have our wedding ceremony and reception at The Monte Bello Estate! From the first time we visited the venue, to the morning after our reception, everyone at The Monte Bello was welcoming, helpful, enthusiastic and consistently went above and beyond to ensure we had the experience we were envisioning! The food tasting and 'Raise the Bar' events were both top notch and were great ways to preview the food and drink, as well as meet the other couples getting married. On the day of our event, their staff ensured that everything was handled and coordinated so that there were no last minute headaches for us to deal with. We were able to truly enjoy every minute of our day. Our guests continue to tell us how great of a time they had and how impressed they were with the grounds, the food, and the service the night of. We are so thankful for The Monte Bello and could not recommend it enough!

    Brianna, thank you SO much for writing such a thoughtful review! We absolutely loved working with you and Brett throughout the entire planning process, and are so glad that you were able to relax and enjoy the day you dreamt of and planned for so long!

    The Most Perfect Wedding Venue

    The Monte Bello Estate was the perfect location for our wedding. We were looking for something unique and elegant, surrounded by nature that felt like home. The service offered was top notch from the very beginning. Courtney and Abby made sure every detail was covered and they put together a really special and memorable tasting day. The day of the wedding, Courtney was there to ensure that all moved smoothly. Our families and friends were so impressed with the quality of service and how charming the venue was. The food and cake were absolutely delicious! The photos turned out beautifully on the grounds of the estate. The entire day really felt like a dream come true. We are so happy to have chosen The Monte Bello Estate for the most special day of our lives.

    Everything was absolutely amazing.

    Monte Bello Estate is a stunning venue for a classic, elegant wedding. It's easy to design a wedding around such beautiful grounds. I never felt like I had to bring a lot of outside design in - the florals and backdrop are beautiful without having to go overboard with styling. We knew we wanted a venue where we could do it all - ceremony & reception. Not to mention the food is exceptional. The grounds and venues were stunning and we had the most picturesque day. It was truly magical from start to finish.

    Outstanding planners, the most beautiful venue we have ever seen, amazing food!

    My husband, family, and I were beyond impressed with this venue. I am SO happy we picked this place to have our ceremony and reception. When initially looking for wedding venues I knew that I was going to be very picky. I work in the wedding industry as a florist and have seen dozens of venues in the area but have never been here before. After seeing pictures online I knew I had to see this place. When pulling in, our jaws dropped - it was even more beautiful than the pictures and the property was massive. One piece of advice I would give is to book this place fast because spots fill up quickly (rightfully so since it is gorgeous). We booked our July 11th, 2020 wedding date in January 2019 and had about a year and a half to plan. Abbey was our coordinator at Monte Bello and she was wonderful with the planning process. She was kind, organized, and always replied in a timely manner. By the time of spring 2020, we were panicking about our wedding due to Covid-19 and whether it was going to be canceled or not. We debated postponing but there were, unfortunately, no summer dates left for 2021. Monte Bello was so amazing with the constant change of plans and even held a tentative date for us in the spring of 2021, but we were all still hoping we could go forward with our wedding on July 11th. Finally, about 2 weeks before the wedding we got the go ahead from the mayor and the team at Monte Bello to go forward with our wedding with some adjustments. We also had another change of plans in that we were originally supposed to have our ceremony in a catholic church but were unable to do so with their Covid restrictions. Monte Bello helped us plan an entire ceremony in a matter of only about a week and I'm so happy we had this change of plans because it was the most beautiful outdoor ceremony in the woods. My parents and family kept bringing up that this was the smoothest wedding they have ever been to, down to the cocktail hour, dinner, late night snacks, and everything in between - every server was friendly and brought things out in a timely matter. I have to bring up that the food was AMAZING. We had the option of filet mignon and champagne chicken for our guests and everyone was raving about the food and how they could cut their steak with a butter knife. My husband is vegetarian and I am pescatarian and they even made special entrees for the two of us upon request. My husband said his pesto tortellini was amazing and my shrimp were THE BEST shrimp I ever had! All of our guests said that this was the best and most beautiful wedding they have ever been to and we definitely have Abbey and the Monte Bello Estate to thank for that. We wish we could re-live our wedding date over and over again at this amazing venue :)
