Melissa O. Married on 04/07/2023Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! Amazing!
Booking The Standard on State as our wedding day venue was the easiest choice we could’ve made. The breathtaking venue, stunning views on the rooftop, their staff and preferred vendors are the reason we had a seamless wedding day. All of our wedding day/ night we were consistently told how beautiful and unique of a venue we found. We were fortunate to have amazing weather in April to have the wedding on the outside rooftop otherwise we would have moved it in the conservatory looking out to the rooftop, which is just as stunning. Posting pictures will NEVER do this place justice
I could never say enough great things about Sara, Hannah, Bree and all the others that assist with their venue leading into our big day. Sara is so kind and will always be sure to make you feel like a priority in the wedding planning process. Is consistent in communication and reassuring when it came to any concerns we had along the way.
Trust all vendors Sara sends your way and if within your own budget, book from their wedding planning packages. As someone who worked while planning her wedding they take all of the stress and not-knowing out of it. -

Highly recommend The Standard!
We could not have been happier with every aspect of our wedding at The Standard. From the beginning- communication, planning, tours, through the end- the day of, it was FANTASTIC. We really enjoyed working with all of the staff we came into contact with. I utilized day of coordination services as well and afterward, I realized I wouldn’t have been able to go through the day as stress free as I was if we didn’t! The building itself is beautiful and made for amazing pictures and videos. The Standard helped our wedding dream come to life and we’ll forever be thankful for it! Highly recommend The Standard in Rockford, IL! -

When she isn’t answering phone calls or emails she is hanging out with her family (4 boys including her husband, dog and 2 boys under 4) and drinking all of the oat milk lattes.
