That lake view!

The Allure on the Lake is such a beautiful venue. Outdoor or indoor…the lake backdrop is stunning. The venue itself is so versatile. It can fit any style from rustic barn feel to modern luxe. The spacious bridal suite is perfect for any bride and her bridesmaids.

Perfect Night

I recently attended my first wedding at The Allure and cannot get over how amazing it was. I was on the bride's Pinterest board so I knew what she was imagining for her ceremony and reception spaces and the coordinators really worked with us to make sure it turned out exactly how she wanted (and more!). The coordinators did great checking in and making sure we had what we needed and were a big help to keep us on schedule. The staff also helped set up and tear stuff down so that we could enjoy the night. I thought the food was beyond delicious, the chicken was my favorite! A lot of family members have food allergies/sensitivities and they were very accommodating. The reception had such a romantic feel, especially with all the lanterns and fairy lights. My daughter keeps asking to go back to "the castle". Honestly, its one of the prettiest venues I've been to. The bridal suite & groom's room were so fun to spend the day in (and the picture opportunities are dreamy). That staircase...I don't even have words! Perfect for the wedding party entrance and pictures. I would say if you're wanting or planning a fall or winter wedding that this place would be great since its beautiful inside (but we did snap some outside as well!). I know I keep talking about the picture possibilities but even the pictures I snapped on my iPhone are gorgeous.

My husband and I threw the party of a lifetime at The Allure last month, and we are proud beyond words that we were able to call that "party" our wedding! The food, the cocktails, the venue - all just amazing! Coming from Chicago, I knew I was going to be picky on my venue - and this place went beyond my expectations! Natalie and Jenny are the assistants that really made it all come together for us. The best!!! :)

Absolutely love this venue, when you are on the outside of the building you would never guess how beautiful it is on the inside. I done know which I line better, the ceremony area or the amazing ballroom. I have done numerous weddings here and everyone that works there are so very friendly and helpful. I have also had the opportunity to dine with them as well and the food was delicious. I would highly recommend The Allure for your very special day.
