Beautiful venue, professional staff, perfect day!
The food was restaurant-quality – no banquet halls here! Many people emphatically said that was the best food they had ever had at a wedding. The menu tasting was a wonderful experience guided by the Chief of Staff, and included a personal visit from the chef near the end. There are many great food and wine options, it was hard to limit ourselves to just a few! The staff was very helpful in accommodating our guests with dietary restrictions and allergies; if one of the food choices would not work, they created a special alternative dish for them at no extra charge. They were so organized, they even remembered to not drizzle honey on one of our guest’s dessert. I checked with every single one of our guests who needed an accommodation, and every single one was fulfilled. We even had a guest who was arriving late; his food was kept warm and brought out immediately when he arrived.
As the bride and groom, we got to sit at the head table with our personal Head Waiter, Justin, who was awesome. He made sure our water and wine glasses were always full, and would personally deliver them to us throughout the night whether we were chatting at a table or in the middle of the dance floor. He said he was there if we needed anything, and he always jumped in to help with a smile.
Our guests repeatedly told us how beautiful, elegant, and classy the venue was. The Tiffany Room and first floor galleries were the perfect setup for cocktail hour, and everyone loved the gorgeous glasswork (and open bar). The Wisteria room, bathed in candlelight, with a view of the Chicago Skyline, was perfect for dinner and dancing. The staff was professional and helpful, and the entire event ran smoothly.
We specifically wanted a venue that would “do it all” so we didn’t have to, and Halim Time and Glass Museum absolutely delivered. We treasure the experience we had on our special day and thank Jessica and all of the staff for making it the perfect experience.
Exceptional Experience!
For the event itself, the mimosas were perfect, the food was delicious, & our service was prompt, efficient & cheerful. We were so pleased that all of the staff were extremely attentive to our needs.
After our meal, bridal shower games, and gift opening, we had the opportunity to tour the museum. It has a magnificent collection of Tiffany glass, jewelry, vases, etc. It also has an extensive collection of glass by other glass artists.
The Cafe has a wonderful collection of paintings by the Wisconsin regionalist Thomas Mueller Dietrich, who painted many scenes of Appleton, Wisconsin. He was the artist in residence at Lawrence University for many years. The clock collection is the “ne plus ultra” of clock collections! They are thoughtfully displayed, and illustrate the differences between European and American clock making. We all enjoyed our time wandering around & absorbing the well documented exhibits.
I look forward to returning to the museum & browsing the exhibits again, and I would not hesitate to recommend the Halim Time & Glass Museum for any event.
