Absolutely Worth It

Aberdeen Manor ended up being our first and only venue we looked at. It had everything we needed. I loved the idea that we were the only couple onsite the entire day. We weren't sharing the venue like some other large banquet halls. They are so quick to accommodate any needs, including changing your ceremony from outside to inside the morning of. The place is gorgeous and can fit a very good amount of guests.
Megan was our coordinator, and I HIGHLY recommend her. She was so patient and worked on every detail with us. This was both of our first marriage after all, so we didn't have the experience. She was able to visually show us various designs and provide many options. She walked through nearly every step to ensure we had everything in order and worked with our vendors to keep them in line and on schedule. She is your timekeeper that day and handles absolutely anything that arises. She was the ultimate coordinator.

Amazing Experience!

Had my wedding at Aberdeen Manor on October 26th and the entire process from the planning to the day of went smoothly. Kara was an amazing coordinator with excellent communication and the night was everything we could ask for and more! The food and drinks were great and the way everything was run was completely on point. All of the staff there are top notch. Highly recommend Aberdeen Manor to anyone looking to host a wedding/reception!

Beautiful outdoor ceremony venue!!

We absolutely loved our experience at Aberdeen! Kara and the entire team were so helpful throughout our process. We used their brand new bridal suite to get ready which is beautiful and VERY spacious (we had 15 women getting ready together). They also had a grooms suite available. They were able to accommodate our timeline, provided delicious breakfast and drinks while we got ready.

For the ceremony, we chose the outdoor garden that was stunning and the team helped out with all our questions and prep day of as well as rehearsal. They even allowed a welcome drink station for our guests. You can definitely feel the family owned business in how personal and thoughtful they are - we felt very take of at aberdeen. Thank you!!

Aberdeen Manor is a premier wedding day venue, certainly among the best in the Northwest Indiana and the entire Chicagoland market. Their focus on attention to detail is backed by years of first-hand experience. From a wedding ceremony in the lush outdoor garden or within the elegance of their own chapel to the excitement of a wedding reception in the grand ballroom, Aberdeen Manor is the place for a beautiful and carefree wedding day.

One of our favorite venues. Always a pleasure working here. The chapel is picture perfect, the garden is beautiful and inside it lights so well for wedding photography.
