Amazing, 10/10 experience!

We are so happy we chose Aaron Leetch Legacy Club at Illinois State University as our ceremony and reception site. All of the staff were great to work with and very responsive with all of our questions. They helped us in making decisions that best suited our budget and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you so much to Cassie, Emma, Mackenzie, Cathy, and Cindy for helping us make our wedding day perfect!

Book your reception here!

We couldn't be happier with our experience having our wedding reception at Hancock Stadium. The staff were so accommodating and professional. They helped walk us through the entire process and offered advice where ever needed. I am not exaggerating when I say there was not one aspect of the experience we would change! We has so many comments from our guests about how fun and beautiful this venue was. I would highly recommend looking into having your reception here. A huge thank you to all the staff (special shout out to Emily, Cindy, and Cathy) for making our day one we will never forget!

Great Venue for the price

This venue was great! The price was better than expected and we had it for pretty much the entire day. We were able to set things up the night before but they took care of everything else. They were quick to respond to any questions/concerns we had. The only negative I have is that once we ended the reception at 9pm (even though we paid for the room until 11:30pm) it felt as though they wanted us out. They were taking down tables and decorations while we were still in there trying to get organized and ready to leave, we really felt rushed to get out of there.

In one word AWESOME!

Hancock Stadium Club and Sodexo rock! They made our daughters wedding reception a night to remember. The venue is beautiful, the food is delicious and the staff is exceptional. Their attention to detail is amazing and nothing is too much trouble. They cater to you and want you to enjoy your event and we absolutely did!!

Great Responsiveness!

While this event ultimately ended up not suiting our needs, the team here were extremely responsive in contacting us and were quite professional and helpful!

Modern space, fair price

Other than the turnover of employees, we had a great experience. The menu tasting before was nice and helpful, staff was friendly throughout, and the space was beautiful. Although prices have already increased since out wedding in 2017, the price is still one of the cheapest in the area.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
