Amber D. Married on 05/25/2019A fairy tale
Honestly.. this venue is EVERYTHING for your wedding. The venue is so extraordinary. You get goosebumps when you walk in. Almost like you are walking directly into the ballroom scene of beauty and the beast. I promise you... you feel like a princess that day. It truly becomes your castle. And they make sure you feel at home.
It has history. It has your whimsical.. it has your fairytale.. it has your romance... it has your surprises.... and best of all it has a Nancy!
Nancy is the Rialto’s wedding coordinator. And she knows the venue, she knows weddings, she knows people. She would answer the most bizarre questions. I’m not kidding.. I sent her an email randomly and then also called her because I was afraid of the stairs to get on the stage. And then she reminded me I was not crazy. Lol. She also helped me figure out situations that she really didn’t have to. She helped me with the florals, the linens, the schedule.
She was just there for me through the entire thing. Even when I was anxious and needed to talk it through. She knew every single detail of our day.
She went above and beyond with our wedding and because of that i was calm and confident the entire day.
And the day of your wedding she is always there. Anytime I would look for her she was there. And that honestly made me positive everything was going perfect.
As a matter of fact... after everyone was cleared out and I was about to get into our car to leave I simply couldn’t without going back and hugging her one more time.
She was such a huge part of our day. And I made such a wonderful friend.
Don’t hesitate-

Carol R. Married on 03/19/2022The Most Magical Wedding Possible!
I've lived in Joliet my whole life and have always loved the Rialto. My fiancé found them online and we decided to tour it with the perspective of it being or Reception location. I have never loved anything more! The building is so beautiful and every guest was awed by how incredible it was! It was cost affordable, and I was thrilled to give a historical town icon my business. Classy, beautiful, memorable and all because of the Rialto and their most incredible team working there. I would 110/10 recommend them!-

Anna Married on 03/30/2019A Dream and Perfection
The Rialto was the perfect venue for my husband and myself. He is in the film business and I love the past. The vendor staff is absolutely astounding in curating a experience. Our guests are still raving about this venue and it generated so much unique memory and joy. Every detail is attended to and Nancy, the coordinator, ensures perfection.-
