The Nineteenth Century Club

My wedding would not have been as wonderful as it was if it had been held at any other venue. The venue itself is stunning, Danielle and her team were amazingly accommodating and the food was top notch. We rented the first and second floor for our wedding of about 240 people. We used the first floor for cocktail hour and then had the kids eat down there while everyone else was in the upstairs ballroom for dinner. My wedding was 8 months ago and I still regularly have friends and family members comment on how beautiful and unique the venue was. It was so convenient to have everything in one space, but great to save the first look of the ballroom until after cocktail hour. Despite initially having a delay in response when I first reached out for a tour, I could not have imagined a better group to work with in planning my wedding than Danielle and her team. Danielle is a true professional- she is calm and reassuring and throughout the entire process made me feel completely comfortable in her hands. From suggestions such as having the salads already platted when guests are seated to move the dinner service along, to her suggestions on where to place the DJ so he would not be in the background of our photos of the speeches (something I had not thought of!), she knows what she's doing. In addition, she was so accommodating to my father-in-law who was quite particular on the wine choices for the evening! The day could not have run any smoother. We did use their catering services and the food did not disappoint. I will be honest that the food was not a top priority of mine, so I really lucked out that the food here is incredible. So many guests commented on how good the food was- and not just good for being "wedding food", but a genuinely great meal. Lastly, this venue was by far the best value I found and believe me I searched throughout the entire Chicagoland area. I cannot emphasize enough how great of a decision it was to have our reception at the 19th Century Club!
