Timeless & Classy

As a native Oak Parker, I grew up going to the Cheney Mansion for family photos and daddy-daughter dances. While my husband and I were unable to have our wedding at the Mansion because of our larger wedding size, we were able to take STUNNING photos at Cheney before our wedding ceremony in Oak Park. The Cheney Mansion staff was so easy to work with in getting a photo permit for the day, and allowed us to use so many of the rooms and outside grounds for photos. The photos were beautiful, and we are so happy to have had this historic piece of Oak Park be a part of our big day! For anyone looking for a unique, classic place for wedding photos, Cheney is an excellent and easy choice!

The best place for our wedding!

We were looking for a vintage style venue with rooms to get ready and an outside location for our ceremony. This venue did not disappoint. Tricia was amazing to work with and answered all of our questions and made sure all of our requests were granted! It was a perfect day and Cheney Mansion made it even better!
