This is a PERFECT space!

Wow this space is awesome! It's right in downtown Lemont so it has such a cute vibe. And the huge windows that line the front of the venue let the outside in. Plenty of natural light such a bonus! Who likes going into a stuffy ballroom that is just an enclosed dark space. The interior is really neutral and updated so you're not competing with interior decor when bringing in your vision for your event. And I personally always look for a venue that has the option of an outdoor area and this one has a perfect spot on the side of the building to set up a cocktail hour for. Love that! There's a super cute stand for beverage service that I heard was brought in from Wrigley Field. How fun! It's small details like the beautiful cross back chairs in a beautiful on trend wood that makes all the difference! Even after the event is over there are some pretty cute bars/restaurants to hit up so the party doesn't end! I went here for a baby shower but it's the perfect space for a small wedding which lets face it is todays reality. I could also see doing some cool work events here or birthday parties. A+
