The perfect wedding!
Acquaviva was amazing! Our wedding was perfect! Food was fantastic! Fireworks were unbelievable! Kara helped us so much organizing from beginning to end and we didn’t even need a wedding planner. I’m very glad we chose Acquaviva as our venue! We highly recommend it!-

Wedding of our Dreams
Acquaviva was quite literally the most magical place to have our wedding. They were the first venue we saw and from the moment we walked in we knew that nothing would top it. The staff were all extremely kind and welcoming to us throughout our planning process and truly helped our dreams become reality. The day of our wedding was everything we could’ve asked for and more, from the food to the wine and to the impeccable service at the bridal house and bartenders, we were extremely well taken care of. All of our guests raved about what a beautiful wedding it was and we agree- couldn’t highly recommend Acquaviva more to any couple wishing for a piece of Italy on the wedding day!Acquaviva Winery's reply:

Amazing venue
The was absolutely beautiful, with plenty of space for dancing. The food and wine were delicious. The staff was very attentive when it came to assisting our guests. And the coordinator solved any problem big or small within minutes while checking in with us consistently to make sure the bride and groom were able to focus purely on enjoying our day. Also communications throughout the entire planning process were consistent and helpful.Acquaviva Winery's reply:

Amazing Venue, Amazing Food, and Amazing People!
We had our reception at Acquaviva Winery and loved the process of working with them from start to finish. Very accommodating, flexible, and communicative. They genuinely cared and wanted our wedding day to be the best it could be. Everyone was so kind and even the guests at the wedding remarked on this. The food was AMAZING and guests could not stop talking about the dinner and the late night pizza. The winery/restaurant itself is stunning and look great on camera. Would highly recommend! 5 out of 5!Acquaviva Winery's reply:

Our first and only venue we looked at!
“The food was amazing!” “The venue was so pretty.” We didn’t stop hearing this from all of our guests.
Beata did such an amazing job from the first tour all the way til the wedding night. She helped us step by step with the process and even gave suggestions!
The service that comes from every person that works there is above and beyond. Our entire reception was served dinner in 11 mins! (Record!) They pay attention to details and have many people working and watching to help make your day go by without a hitch!
The vines are gorgeous in August! I couldn’t be happier that we chose this venue.Acquaviva Winery's reply:

The Best Day at Acquaviva Winery
My wife and I recently had the pleasure of having our dream wedding at Acquaviva Winery, and we could not be happier with the entire experience. From the moment we set foot on the property, we were enchanted by the venue's beauty and the professionalism of the staff.
The outdoor ceremony in the vineyard was undoubtedly the highlight of our wedding. The lush green vineyard rows created a natural and breathtaking backdrop for our vows, enhancing the romantic atmosphere. The serene sounds of the breeze rustling through the vines made it an unforgettable setting that left a lasting impression on our guests and provided beautiful photographs to cherish.
The venue aesthetics for the reception includes stunning interior design, with its exquisite paintwork and high ceilings. Another remarkable aspect of the reception hall was its spacious layout. We had approximately 200 guests in attendance, and there was more than enough room to comfortably accommodate everyone. The bar area was well-designed and well-stocked, making it a popular spot for our guests to mingle and enjoy their favorite beverages. The dance floor was generously sized, allowing for plenty of space for our guests to dance the night away.
Another highlight would be the food at Acquaviva Winery was nothing short of extraordinary. The menu was diverse and exquisitely prepared, with both hors d'oeuvres and the main course receiving rave reviews from our guests. The wine selection was top-notch, perfectly complementing the meal. The culinary expertise on display was truly remarkable.
And the most special part of the experience was working with Beata and the events team. Throughout the planning process, Beata and the events team at Acquaviva Winery were a joy to work with. Their attention to detail and prompt communication made the planning process smooth and stress-free. Beata was always available to answer our questions, provide guidance, and offer creative suggestions. She truly understood our vision and worked tirelessly to ensure that every aspect of our wedding was executed flawlessly.
In conclusion, Acquaviva Winery is a gem of a wedding venue, offering a delightful combination of delectable cuisine, stunning aesthetics, breathtaking vineyard views, and a dedicated team. Our wedding day was everything we had ever dreamed of, thanks to Acquaviva. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue to celebrate our special day, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone in search of a truly magical wedding experience. Thank you, Acquaviva Winery, for making our wedding day an unforgettable one!Acquaviva Winery's reply:
Thank you for choosing us for your special day! It was our absolute pleasure to work with you and your families to make your day as perfect as possible. We look forward to seeing you when you come back to visit for many more celebrations for many years to come ! -

Amazing venue
This venue has incredible authentic Italian food. It is also a unique venue with a gorgeous vineyard, apple orchard, a pool house to rent to get ready in and a guest house to rent on the property with 6 bedrooms so bride and groom and family or bridal party can stay after the wedding. The staff are all super professional and helpful, especially the on site coordinator Beata. I had a beautiful wedding here that all the guests are still renting and raving over.-

Picture Perfect Wedding Day
Acquaviva is simply the best! Beata is wonderful to work with. We wanted our wedding to be romantic and intimate, and Acquaviva was the perfect venue to make that happen. The food was incredible, our guests are still commenting on how great the food was. There is nothing we would change about our wedding and it's mostly thanks to Beata and the staff at Acquaviva!Acquaviva Winery's reply:

Summer wedding
My husband and I got married in July of 2023. Our reception was at Acquaviva Winery. This winery is incredible. We stumbled upon it while browsing on the knot, and I’m glad we did. We wanted something different than your traditional banquet or barn wedding. The food is AMAZING. Our guests were infatuated with the food, and the space. Weeks later we are still receiving comments about how amazing everything was. Beata was the coordinator that I worked with and no surprise here, she was amazing! She is very organized, and is great with communication. She will do everything to help you on the day and before the wedding to make sure everything is ready to go. Her kindness and positive energy was everything we needed when meeting with her to discuss all of the details. Overall, our day was majestic and we couldn’t be more in love with our venue choice. We are hoping to come back every year for an anniversary dinner. -

Best Day Ever!
Acquaviva was an easy 5 star for us. They have the most beautiful venue. As a former bride, I know how important/stressful it can be going for an outdoor venue. This venue has a unbelievably beautiful backup plan and allow you to decide as close to last minute as possible. Luckily the weather was perfect but the piece of mind means everything leading up to the big day.
We are still getting raving reviews of their food from our guests weeks after the wedding. The fillet and whitefish are to die for! They include so much in their initial minimum (open bar, appetizers, wine during dinner, salad, pasta, main dishes, dessert bar) but also have awesome upgrades available! Some that we utilized that I think were so worth it was:
-extended cocktail hour (more time for pictures too!)
-upgraded bar options
-upgraded dessert bar
-wine bar at vineyard ceremony
-champagne toast
-meal choice for guests
-late night pizza
One of the things I love best is that my husband and I can come back to eat at our reception venue for years to come to celebrate our marriage and the most amazing day/night we had there.
All of this and to top it off their staff was amazing! Family owned and it shows in the best way. Easy going, accommodating, and flexible. A million thank yous to them for making our day so perfect for us.Acquaviva Winery's reply:

Perfect wedding venue
From the initial wedding tour to our wedding day Beata and the entire staff at Acquaviva didn’t miss a thing. They kept the planning process organized from start to finish. The venue itself is absolutely stunning and goes with any wedding style. As we came across different stages of the planning process, I had so many questions that came up along the way and Beata responded to every question in a timely manor. Being a very well established wedding venue they also had a lot of great ideas to help us make it day special! We rented the guest house for two nights and hosted our immediate families there. It made for a perfect weekend spent with our closest family. Anything we needed while staying at the guest house they had maintenance staff on call if needed. The day of our wedding went very smooth without any unexpected issues. Beata was there to coordinate every step of the day which helped us stay on time. They also worked well with our DJ, photographers and videographers, bakery, Pastor, florist and decor venders. Our guests complimented the quality of the food and wine, in fact many of our guests purchased bottles of wine at the end of the evening. I am so glad we chose Acquaviva as our wedding venue and look forward to hosting futures events there! -

Exceeded Our Expectations!
I couldn't imagine getting married anywhere else but Acquaviva! It is a gorgeous venue, and the staff was amazing to work with. They were so great with discussing and helping finalize our plans. On the day of the wedding, their team helped set up our decorations and get everything into place to start the wedding. Our wedding day ran so smoothly thanks to the Acquaviva team! So many of our guests couldn't stop talking about how gorgeous the venue is, how delicious the food is, and how kind and professional the staff is. We are so lucky to have had Acquaviva and their team for our wedding day and we would highly recommend them for any other couple getting married in the Chicago suburbs! -

Best Day Ever!
We had our “best day ever” at Acquaviva and it was a-m-a-z-i-n-g! I had 30+ people say it was the best wedding they had ever been to. The venue and grounds are beautiful, the food is impeccable, the service was great! One awesome add on is the guest house on the property. My bridesmaids slept there with me the night before and the bridal party slept there after the wedding. It was the perfect place to get ready on the day of.
Through out the process, Acquaviva staff communicated promptly with me, we had the most fun tasting, and we met with one of the owners for our final details meeting. When our wedding coordinator (outside vendor) was late, Acquaviva staff stepped in to start setting up our centerpieces. At the end of the night, we hadn’t gotten any dessert and the staff packaged up 2 cannolis for the groom & I to go. It was above and beyond (and I have high expectations!) I can’t recommend Acquaviva enough. -

Beautiful December wedding
I was father of the groom and I could not have been happier with the professionalism of Suzanne, the wedding coordinator, at Acquaviva Winery. Suzanne took us through everything, including the tasting menu, the meal and wine choices, and the hors d'oeuvre choices. Their recommender vendors are a wise choice because they are professional and are familiar with the layout. We were not disappointed one bit. Thank you so much Suzanne.-

GORGEOUS Winery with Exceptional & Attentive Team
We cannot rave enough about our experience with Acquaviva and Suzanne! Our November wedding of ~130 was absolutely phenomenal and all our guests raved about the venue being so naturally gorgeous and unique (not just a giant, empty banquet hall). Our ceremony was in the winery atrium and felt so intimate with our lighted lanterns, fall floral arrangements, and family members seated comfortably around us. The reception was elegant and formal and the servers were all so professional - but it also felt like a relaxed and fun environment in that same vein. It honestly couldn't have been more perfect all around. Suzanne and her team are truly experienced with wedding planning and hosting large events - they made our party of ~130 seem easy. Suzanne also made the entire planning experience SO smooth - we felt like it was too good to be true. Her regular check-ins, meetings, and forms helped streamline everything. She had suggestions for any vendor we needed, and many of them we used. The entire day was so perfect and I would choose Acquaviva over and over again. Thank you for everything!! -

Gorgeous venue, delicious Italian fare, perfect spot for a party!
Everyone always tells you that if you're planning an event, it's all about the food, the drinks, and a good time! Hands down, Acquaviva Winery has it all for a wedding.
Our wedding was booked in February 2019 for August 2020. The booking process was easy - their Events Manager, Suzanne, was so easy to work with, responded within 24 hours generally, and always made sure to relay every detail we would need to know. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic we had to postpone our wedding to May 2021. With all of the emotions and frustrations we were experiencing, how Acquaviva handled the reschedule process reassured us that we made the right decision booking with them. Suzanne went above and beyond to make sure we got the best reschedule date that would work for us and reassured us that our big day would be just the same as if it hadn't been rescheduled.
AND IT WAS! Our guests and family still rave about how amazing our reception was. The food was AMAZING - it was a delicious, true Italian cuisine with huge dinner size portions (none of that "smaller portions" you sometimes get at event halls). The set up of the restaurant is a bit weird but we chose the right DJ to make sure sound got across the whole venue (Spin N Play - ask for Ron). The bartenders made sure to keep our specialty drink just how we asked for it. And the coordinators and servers/head servers did everything to help set up, take down, and make our guests comfortable.
While Acquaviva might be a bit off the beaten path, the distance and time it took to get there was well worth our amazing experience having our wedding day there. We will continue to go there for dinners and to buy our favorite wines.-

My husband and I could not have asked for a more beautiful venue to have our wedding reception! Suzanne and the staff were excellent to work with. The planning process went smoothly and we did not have to worry about a thing during the reception besides enjoying ourselves. Our guests were raving about the venue and food!

Dream Wedding
I feel so lucky to have found Acquaviva Winery for my wedding. The moment my husband and I walked in, we knew it was the place for us. Suzanne was great to work with and made the entire planning process easier. The vineyard was absolutely stunning for our ceremony and all our guests absolutely loved the venue. The food was another thing everyone kept raving about to this day. We cannot say enough good things about this venue and team. I HIGHLY recommend Acquaviva Winery for your wedding day dreams to come true.-

I Highly Reccomend This Venue!
Wonderful place to have your special day! Suzanne was so available and helpful throughout the entire planning process. The venue and food were both simply amazing. We weren't sure if it was going to rain and the coordinators helped us make last minute decisions with ease and as little stress as possible. Thanks so much for such a wonderful and memorable experience! -

Absolutely incredible venue!
I would rec this venue a million times over. Suzanne is the coordinator and always extremely responsive and helpful. I got so many compliments!! The food is amazing, it comes right from the kitchen. I can't explain how many people raved about the Filet and Salmon! The vineyard is incredible to have the ceremony in. And to top it all off, the price is not going to break the bank! Very reasonable, kind of in the middle of the price spectrum. 100% rec this place! You will love it and so will your guests! -

Suzanne and her team (and the whole staff!!) made our day absolutely phenomenal. We had many questions as we planned and they were helpful, prompt, communicative, flexible, all the things you want in someone you’re working with on such an important day!! Our wedding day was everything we could have wanted it to be and we only have good things to say about the entire experience. Planning, visiting, tasting, execution-all of it was just so wonderful. We are so grateful and cannot recommend them enough! If we could do it again we wouldn’t change a thing. -

Unique Venue with Incredible Food and Service
Tracy and I had our wedding at Acquaviva Winery on Memorial Day weekend, 2021. The venue is perfect, the weather was amazing and the ceremony in the Vineyard is something truly unique. We also rented the guest house for out family to stay in before/after the event.
The reception hall is beautiful from the entryway, to the barrel room and it was all immaculately decorated. Suzanne Read and her crew did an incredible job of preparing and setting every table. Throughout the meal and the entire day, Suzanne was like a battlefield general making sure every last thing including special requests was handled flawlessly. As dinner was served she personally inspected every plate to ensure it was correct as her team was setting it out.
We received compliments all day long, all evening and for weeks afternoon Acquaviva Winery. If you want a beautiful venue to get married in, incredible food, amazing deserts, and of course spectacular wine, do not hesitate for a moment to check out Acquaviva. It is truly unique.-

Winery Wedding
The food, service, wine, and scenery is amazing. Suzanne and her team are wonderful to work with. I was the type of bride that had many questions and would email frequently. Suzanne always responded in a timely matter and was extremely organized. Suzanne and her team make sure the big day runs smoothly and help out any way they can. They offer everything you need for your big day. I highly recommend renting out the house on site for getting ready and staying over the night. Her preferred vendor list (just suggested not mandatory) was great, also. I have had so many complement on the food, service, and wine from my guest. My guests and I had a blast. I just received some of my photos, and my pictures look phenomenal because of the scenery (picture attached is from a guest’s cellphone). If your looking for a winery wedding this is the place! -

Best Day Ever!
Acquaviva is a dream come true. This venue has been extremely accommodating though out the entire wedding process. When we first visited the site back in 2019 Suzanne left an everlasting positive impression on us. The only reason we did not select the venue at that time was distance. We were looking for a venue closer to our guests so they would not have to travel far. After rescheduling our wedding several times due to Covid we decided to give Suzanne a call to see if we could be accommodated. Covid -19 became our events blessing in disguise as our wedding was more than we could have ever wish or imagined.
Suzanne helped us plan our entire wedding in just a couple of months. During the cocktail hour we were brought appetizers to the awesome bridal room, as we took photos and prepared to line up for announcements.
Every staff member bent over backwards for us with organized, professional and impeccable service.
Our guests, have been raving about the food and wine. This is not an exaggeration, no overstatements here. In our opinion, you have not lived until you try their food. Several of our family members told us they were purchasing the wine and coming back for dinner on their own.
It’s been several weeks and I am still thinking about the mouth watering dishes, and the savory nocchi that we are dying to have the vodka sauce recipe for. The pastries were so so so good. The late night brick oven pizza is the best pizza I have had by far.
Even a few of the guests that arrived late were provided top notch service . We absolutely felt like royalty. Aquaviva proved to be a benchmark for service on our wedding day.
Beautiful design and care has been placed into every detail of this business. Even the design of the entry door has so much detail and art to it. The grounds are breathtaking. The guest house looking over the winery that we spent the night at was immaculate and gorgeous.
The winery is flexible, clean and service oriented. You will not go wrong choosing this winery to host your special day. Our guests are as impressed and happy as we are. We cannot thank Acquaviva Winery enough for making our day so special and amazing, which we will remember and cherish forever.

Amazing Wedding Ceremony & Reception
Our wedding ceremony and reception was held at Acquaviva Winery. The ceremony was held in the vineyard. The wedding went perfectly as planned. The weather was great! All our venders worked well together to create the best wedding day.
Working with Suzanne and Brianna was wonderful and easy. They did an amazing job at helping us plan the day and making sure it went smoothly.
We had rented out the guest house the night of the wedding. The groom, the grooms men and grooms family were able to hang out, have lunch and great ready there. The house worked great for them! The groom and his grooms men went down to the market to have wine, they had great service in the market from Julie!
The service during the reception was fantastic. I (the bride) did not realize on of our guest had a dietary restriction. The guest had mentioned to Brianna during dinner and Brianna came back with a different meal for our guest. Our guest was very happy with the service provided.
All of our guest raved about the service and the food!! They loved that during dinner the staff would bring more bottles of wine to the table when the bottle at their table was empty! The food was great! It is made to order and delicious.
Also, like any wedding, a lot of drinks were spilled on the dance floor. The staff was very attentive and within in seconds they were there to mop it up! This allowed our guest to continue dancing all night long.
We had left a lot of the stuff at the winery to pick up the next day. When we went in to grab it Vito was their to greet us. He helped us with gather all of our stuff. We could not thank him enough. He was the best bartender the night of the wedding!! He always provides the best service.
We had spent almost 2 years planning our wedding with Acquaviva. Suzanne, Brianna, Vito, Joe, Paul, Julie, and the rest of the Acquaviva staff have become like family! We love to go back for lunch or dinner. Plus we are wine club members so it gives us an excuse to go more often. =-

Amazing!
Acquaviva was the most amazing wedding venue we could have asked for. From the beautiful views of getting married in a vineyard, to the comfort of working with such a great coordinator (Suzanne), we couldn't have asked for a better experience!
First off, the venue is absolutely beautiful. The ceremony overlooked the vineyard and the entire property was gorgeous. The layout of the venue was perfect. We had 185 guests, it was spacious enough to where nobody felt crammed but the whole setting still felt intimate. The food was also FANTASTIC! All of our guests have continued to rave about how delicious it was for weeks after the wedding!
The best part about Acquaviva was working with Suzanne, the events coordinator. She was so incredibly helpful, responsive and comforting. During the stressful time that is wedding planning, Suzanne answered all of our questions very quickly, met with us about a million extra times and put us at ease with the whole planning process!-

Taste of Tuscany in the Midwest
My family and I used to go to Acquaviva for dinners, so when they started doing weddings several years ago, I knew this must be the venue once the time came! We toured other places but nothing came close. From when we first came to tour, to the day after our wedding- the service Acquaviva provides cannot be beat. Suzanne and her team are so incredibly responsive and talented. You truly cannot ask for a better group to help your wedding day run smoothly. We received so many compliments from our guests on how beautiful the venue was, and how good the food was- and of course the wine! Thank you Acquaviva for making our day perfect!Acquaviva Winery's reply:
Thank you Jessica! You and Brian were a pleasure to work with, it was such a beautiful June wedding! It's always so much fun getting to know the couples an their families. We hope to see you back soon for dinner or some of our amazing wine!!

Absolutely perfect
Acquaviva Winery was an absolute dream! Everything for our wedding was perfect - the venue, the staff, the coordinators, the food - you name it. Multiple guests complimented that this was the best wedding food they have ever had. Suzanne was a pleasure to work with while coordinating our wedding and really went above and beyond. I wish we could go back there every year and do it all over again! Oh and their wine is FABULOUS. We absolutely love this place and highly recommend.Acquaviva Winery's reply:
Thank you Courtney for the great review! You and Nick had such a special day, we were all so glad to be a part and help make it perfect for you! Those memories will last forever, I'm so glad you were so happy!

Beautiful scenery and amazing food
absolutely loved everything about Acquaviva! The second we arrived for our tour, we knew this was this venue for us. The restaurant itself has so much character and the vineyard is just beautiful. Suzanne was so helpful with every step along the way. Our outdoor ceremony in the vineyard was absolutely breathtaking, which subsequently led to amazing photos. Aside from the beautiful scenery, food was also very important to us and Acquaviva did not disappoint. We even has many guests tell us later how much they enjoyed their meals. I could not have asked for a better venue or coordinator. Acquaviva truly made all of our wedding dreams come true. -

Wedding of my dreams!
My husband and I couldn't have picked a place more perfect than Acquaviva to have our reception! Often times I felt like I wasn't 'doing enough' to prepare but that's only because Suzanne was so helpful and made planning a breeze! Saying our guests loved the food is an understatement, and everything else was more perfect than we could've imagined. Our wedding was literally the best night of our lives and we're so glad we spent it here! -

Best venue ever!
Acquaviva was a dream come true for our October wedding! It was everything we could have hoped for and MORE! From the very beginning stages of planning until the wedding day, Suzanne was there every step of the way. During wedding planning, she is incredibly responsive to e-mails which calmed all of my bride stress. She communicated with all of our vendors so there was nothing to worry about on the wedding day. When our day finally came, Suzanne, Brianna, and the entire staff at Acquaviva went above and beyond to make our wedding day beyond perfection. Having our ceremony in the vineyard truly meant everything to us and although it was raining in the morning, Suzanne was very calming and made sure that it was still held outside. Our guests have not stopped talking about how much they enjoyed our wedding ceremony and reception; everything from the vineyard views to the delicious food and wine at the winery. We could not have picked a more beautiful, elegant, and accommodating venue for our wedding day. Thank you to the entire staff at Acquaviva for making our wedding day our BEST DAY EVER! -

A Dream Come True!
It was always a dream of mine to have my wedding at Acquaviva Winery, so when we booked our date with them, I had a lot of high expectations. Acquaviva met and exceeded all of them! Joe and Suzanne made the process simple and told us not to stress about anything. Suzanne even contacted one of our other vendors directly during the week before the wedding to help with a timeline glitch so that I wouldn't have to stress about it! The food was absolutely delicious and guests were shocked that the food just kept coming! Suzanne was also kind enough to make sure that a few pieces of wedding cake were boxed up for my new husband and myself to eat back at the hotel! And of course the venue itself is absolutely breathtaking! Guests still tell us six months later how our wedding was the best wedding they have ever been to! I may be biased, but I completely agree :) Thank you so much for making all of our wedding dreams come true! -

Dream come true
We had our wedding here in September and it was beyond any dream come true! Suzanne, Brianna and Joe were amazing to work with. We fell in love with the place the first time we walked into the restaurant and never looked back to try to find something else to beat it as a venue. Suzanne did such an amazing work to make our vision come true, she was there since day one. They all worked great with the other vendors and made sure that everything was set to go for the big day. When our day finally came, it was beyond perfection. If there was a hiccup along the way, we didn't know about it, and in all honesty, we were too busy having fun and taking in the moment to even care about those hiccups! We had rented the pool house from 9am till the ceremony and it was such an amazing place to get ready in. We had also rented the guest house next to the restaurant for the night before and the night of the wedding and it was amazing as well! Our children and parents had plenty of room and it was such a cozy and comfortable place to be before and after the wedding.
The night of the wedding, we had asked the staff to save the flowers for us so we can take them to a nursing home in the early morning and they did. It was very sweet of them to do.
We always thrive on how businesses offer customer service and Acquaviva did amazing at setting that bar high. Joe, just topped it off with the icing and the cherry on top......you see my car (the bride) had been used by 2 of her daughters and none of them bothered to check the fuel gage. So when Joe told me to move the car to the lower level to get the flowers in my car, I told him that I was embarrassed but I needed the closest gas station, that my car was driving on fumes. He grabbed his phone, called one of his employees and had him bring the 5 gallon gas tank to fill up my car enough to make it to a gas station. That is not only having customer service skills but having a kind heart!
Overall, we can't say enough about this place and are in love with the staff, the restaurant and their wine. We look forward to becoming their wine members and are seeking another reason to hold a party here once again. Thank you again for such an amazing, beautiful, dream come true wedding! -

Magical Vineyard
We were blown away by the ambiance and decor of the venue. Then we met with the wedding coordinator, Suzanne, and she blew us out of the water. She definitely has a close eye to detail and her assistant Brianna operated the same way. They made sure our day was perfect in every possible way! -

Acquaviva Winery was the one and only venue my (now) husband and I looked at. We knew from the moment we arrived that it was going to be the place we would be getting married at. Suzanne and her staff were incredible from start to finish. I cannot thank them enough for all of the support and help they provided through out the planning process. We got married in the vineyards and I TOTALLY recommend doing the same. Our pictures are breathtaking! The food was outstanding as well and so was the staff during our reception. We are so happy that we chose Acquaviva, we couldn't have found a more perfect venue for our special day. -

I originally went to Aquaviva one night for a dinner with my now Husband, and we absolutely loved the venue. We joked about getting married their "one day" and little did I know that I really would! This venue is not only unique but it is hand crafted, with gorgeous interiors, a breath taking vineyard and a friendly staff that is over the moon helpful and kind.
I first worked with Suzanne who helped us get the details arranged. Suzanne is one of the sweetest women I've ever worked with. She is kind and patient and has great attention to detail. She ensured me that everything was going to be perfect, and it was. It was better than perfect. Our guests raved about the food, the drinks the service, and how uniquely beautiful the venue was. The vineyard ceremony really just makes the whole day even more special.
The day of my wedding Kippy was our go to girl. She was so organized and patient, also super detailed and made me smile. The day was truly the best of my life, as it should be. And this venue has A LOT to do with how our wedding day went. If you are on the fence about making the trip out the Maple Park, it is so WORTH IT! Thank you to the entire Aquaviva family & staff <3 -

I went to look at this vineyard and fell in love with it. Reminded me of being in Italy. The family is amazing and made us more than comfortable. It felt like home is how I can best describe it. Talking with Suzanne and Joe and the family was what made us decide to have our wedding there. It wasn’t a meeting it was like Sunday dinner. For those of you who are Italian you will know what I mean. They are so flexible and so easy to work with. I couldn’t be happier with our decision. -

Acquaviva was the PERFECT venue for our wedding. Everything was absolutely beautiful and the staff was so professional and responsive to all of our needs. We had a lot of special needs including decorations, meal choices, liquor choices, timing, and more. Acquaviva worked with us to accomadate all of our needs respectively- without nickle and dimeing for everything we were looking for. Suzanne specifically worked closely with us throughout the entire process and helped facilitate a night that we won't ever forget. All of our family and friends have raved about the venue since. I cannot imagine a more perfect wedding venue with numerous beautiful locations for photos! Thank you so much! -

From start to finish, this was the exact venue our daughter was looking for! It was beautiful, food was fabulous, and service was impeccable! Please ask for Suzanne R. when planning! She helped us from the first time we looked at the winery, until the evening of the wedding. It is truly a unique venue if you are looking for a classy place to hold your ceremony. They opted to have the ceremony indoors, under the gorgeous atrium, due to weather concerns. But, you may also choose the vineyards, or the patio for your ceremony. We had prime rib and chicken saltimboca for our guests, and it was delicious! We would recommend this in a heartbeat!! -

Acquaviva Winery was a dream venue for our wedding! Not only were we blown away by the beautiful style of the restaurant itself, the food was heavenly, and the staff was so accommodating that we worried about nothing on the day of the actual event. The bartenders were friendly with guests and everyone was extremely satisfied with the quality of the drinks they were being served. Suzanne was so organized, and so easy to chat with, the planning process was a breeze with her as the captain of the ship. We could not have picked a more elegant, beautiful, warm and welcoming venue for our reception, and we have had so many guests say the same. Huge thanks to the Acquaviva staff for making our day so special, you are all wonderful! -

Perfect venue for our wedding.
It was such a pleasure working with the event coordinator, Suzanne. She was prompt when returning emails, stayed on top of due-dates for menu selections, ceremony and reception details, etc. She would even respond to my silly questions about napkin colors at 10:00PM! She made what could be an overwhelming process, easy, manageable and enjoyable.
When it came to the day of the wedding, ALL of the staff was phenomenal. Food was amazing, drinks were perfect, and every staff member was friendly and inviting. They all worked so well together and the drinks and courses were delivered to the guests promptly and food was hot. The venue itself is breathtaking. We were lucky enough to have engagement photos taken on the vineyard, as we got married in December so we wouldn't have been able to use it then due to weather. The winery is tastefully and elegantly decorated, making our wedding so beautiful. Thank you to everyone involved in the process, you made our day so special!-

Our wedding was amazing! Suzanne was very helpful in planning every aspect of the ceremony/dinner. The food was really good and the vineyard set up for the ceremony was beautiful. I loved how they had the cocktail hour inside and out and of course everyone loved the wine! The service was impeccable and I had a server solely check on my every need... he even showed up behind me and brought me a tide pen when I spilled some pasta sauce on my dress without me asking! Overall best day of my life! -

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Acquaviva Winery on 9/16/17. Suzanne, Joey & the rest of the staff at Acquaviva were great to work with! The venue is absolutely beautiful!! They made the wedding planning a breeze. Easy to work with and very flexible. The venue was gorgeous and our guests still can't stop talking about how great the food was. We will be visiting Acquaviva every year for our anniversary. Very happy we had our wedding at Acquaviva on September 16th, 2017. Wish we could do it all over again :) -

I could not have picked a better venue to share the most important day of my life with all of my family and friends! Everyone at Acquaviva Winery were so pleasant, professional, and dedicated to making the wedding go as smoothly as possible! Suzanne was absolutely amazing to work with. She was professional, had great communication, and was there every step of the way giving us great advice and making sure the venue was set up as we envisioned. The thing I loved most is that every time we visited Acquaviva, the staff made you feel like you were family. I will forever remember that day and how absolutely perfect it was thanks to the amazing people at the winery! Not to mention, the vineyard and grounds are absolutely breathtaking! -

We had our 9/29/17 wedding at Acquaviva Winery and it turned out incredible, truly one of the best days our lives! Suzanne, Ron and the other staff were amazing to work with. I booked my venue 1 year out and during that time was frequently emailing Suzanne with questions. She was very responsive and helpful in the planning process. We did not have our ceremony there, only reception, and when we arrived I was amazed at how beautiful it looked. We lucked out with amazing weather so it made it that much more beautiful taking our pictures at sunset in the vineyard. I through they were very reasonably priced considering the amount of upgrades that are already included in the regular package. I would highly recommend having your wedding at this beautiful winery/vineyard, I give it 5+! Thanks again Suzanne and Ron for truly making our day unforgettable! -

Acquaviva Winery was absolutely fantastic for our wedding! It was the perfect place to give us the intimate family event we were looking for. All the staff, including Suzanne, Joe, and Kippy, were so helpful, accommodating, and a pleasure to work with. They definitely took a lot of stress out of our planning and brought our vision for our special day to life. On top of that, the food was fantastic and being able to use the bed and breakfast made getting ready comfortable and easy. And a special shout out to their entire service staff, they were all so attentive it seemed there was always someone to take care of any want/need that arose! -

After recently having our wedding at Acquaviva Winery (8/5/17) our guests have not stopped showering us with compliments on how beautiful the ceremony was and how delicious the food and wine were. We held our ceremony outdoors in the vineyard and it was gorgeous - it definitely made all my dreams come true! The scenery is to die for and a sunny summer day made our wedding even more fabulous. The reception at the restaurant was just as perfect. The venue alone is a work of art and when you combine that with delicious food and exceptional wine and you have a perfect evening - it really put a smile on all our guests' faces!
Joe and Suzanne were beyond amazing to work with and the staff was fantastic! Suzanne provided great communication and feedback and it was a pleasure to work with her. The entire Acquaviva team really helps put your ideas to life when planning an event and they are a wonderful, hardworking group. From the menu tasting to organizing fine details to accomplishing the big day, everything went smoothly and my husband and I are ecstatic with the outcome of our celebration.
I would highly recommend Acquaviva Winery not only for a wedding venue but for all of its services and amenities as well. It is a one of a kind place that will definitely leave a lasting impression! -

We had my daughter's wedding at Acquaviva in September. It was such an awesome venue and the staff was so helpful and fun to work with. They truly cared about our event and making it special. The food was absolutely fantastic. I had so many guests tell me that it was the best wedding food they have ever had. The wedding photos (both indoor and outdoor) turned out fantastic. If you are planning any event, you owe it to yourself to check out Acquaviva. -

This is the MOST AMAZING venue you will find in the Chicago area. Not only is it gorgeous any time of year, but the staff are just the kindest, most responsive people you'll ever meet. Suzanne's confidence in coordinating the wedding let us relax and just enjoy the weekend. Also, our guests raved about the food and said the filets were the best they'd ever had. Some our our guests went back the next day to buy wine, too, it was so good. We loved everything about Acquaviva and wouldn't change a thing!!! They put on such a top-notch classy event! Thank you! -

Choosing Acquaviva Winery for my husband and I's wedding reception venue was hands down the best decision we made. We had been to Acquaviva many times for dinner to celebrate special occasions, and always admired its beauty, but when we toured the venue when it was set up for a wedding, it was transformed from a beautiful restaurant to the most elegant and romantic wedding venue we could imagine. Joe and Shelly made the wedding planning process so easy and stress-free, which is what every bride and groom want when planning a wedding. When it came to discussing decor (not that it was necessary with a venue like Acquaviva), Joe literally told me I can do whatever I want as long as it doesn't involve putting holes in the walls - and he meant it. When I dropped off my decorations the night prior to our big day, if I wasn't sure where to put a decoration, Joe went out of his way to find or create a place for it to make sure we didn't have to sacrifice any part of our wedding day vision. Shelly was equally as helpful, responsive, flexible and just wonderful to work with, especially with planning the menu (which was the hardest part out of everything because there is not a single thing on their menu that doesn't make your mouth water) and working out contracts. Fast forward to the actual wedding day, and it was more perfect than we could've ever imagined. Having the property to ourselves was priceless, and having access to the vineyard made for some of the most breathtaking wedding photos ever. Plus, the staff at the reception were so pleasant and went above and beyond to make sure everyone was taken care of and having a great time. All in all, I would recommend this venue to absolutely ANY bride or groom to be. An Acquaviva Winery wedding will for sure leave your guests talking about your wedding for years to come. -

We knew we loved the location and then we stepped inside the winery and it was breathtaking. With little decorating on our part the winery still looked majestic. Our guests were raving about the food and the fabulous service during the cocktail hour. I could not have asked for a more beautiful venue for our daughter's wedding reception and was over the top pleased with the quality of food and service. They allowed us to try table configurations that they had not used before and it was amazing. Suzanne and the staff made our long-distance planning smooth and without a hitch. We loved Acquaviva Winery! -

We recently got married at Acquaviva Winery and have nothing but the highest regards for the way this event was managed, catered, and carried out. Kippy, Joe, and Shelly were with us every step of the way, answering questions and accommodating special requests for our special day. The service was phenomenal and the food was fantastic! Our guests have raved to us about everything at this venue, the beautiful vineyard where the ceremony was held, to the lighting on the patio, to the food at the reception. We are beyond pleased with Acquaviva Winery and we highly recommend this establishment. Definitely a 5 star!!!!! -

We had an absolutely incredible experience working with Acquaviva for our wedding. They were extremely professional, very responsive and were so flexible to give us the day we envisioned. I have had some people who had horror stories, wishing they could do things differently, and I'm so happy I'm not one of them. If I had to do it all again, I would absolutely go with Acquaviva. From their helpful staff, to the delicious food, to the fantastic wine, I highly recommend getting married at this venue. -

Five stars are not enough! We hosted our daughter's wedding reception at Acquaviva in August of 2016. Joe and Shelly were unbelievably responsive, helpful and flexible in every respect. The staff was top shelf and the food was amazing, We received innumerable compliments from our guests about the beautiful venue, food and service. We paid a little extra to open the bar early, stay a little later and added an outdoor bar which were worth every penny to add to this experience. I highly, highly, highly recommend this venue if you are looking for the perfect reception. -

By far the best place in the western suburbs to get married. The scenery is gorgeous, the restaurant is beautiful inside, the staff is amazing, and the food is wonderful!! We were so happy with how everything turned out, if we had to do it all again we wouldn't change a thing. A major shot out to Kippy, Joe, and Shelly for making our big day so special!! -

My daughter got married in October 2013 at Acquaviva Winery. Yes, a winery in Illinois! This venue couldn't be more beautiful and unique. The family who owns and operates it are wonderful people who go out of there way to accommodate your wishes and treat you like family. You get the entire estate to yourself as they close the restaurant and winery to the public on your day! The wine is excellent, the food is top notch restaurant gourmet and not your typical wedding fair. The entire staff is professional and friendly. The building is beautiful with Italian frescos and domed entry, plus with so many old world touches, it makes a stunning setting for a reception. The ceremony was held down in the vineyard by the owners mansion and it was spectacular. All of our guests raved about everything from the food to the beauty of the setting and said it was the best wedding they have ever attended. If you're looking for a unique experience for your special day and want to feel like you aren't in Illinois, this is worth every penny. Highly recommend Acquaviva. -

Beautiful Venue and great people
We looked at a lot of venues... What we loved about Acquaviva is how both the ceremony and reception space are so gorgeous we did not feel like we really even needed to decorate. We were able to use the elegance of the venue to make the personal touches we wished to use like their own empty wine bottles with labels still on and the wine barrels. Suzanne and her staff were great to work with and responded quickly to my hundreds of questions. They really made planning our special day really easy. The owners and their family work there and made a point to get to know us too! There are so many unique locations to take pictures onsite too we could not get all the ones we wanted with the amount of time.
In regard to price, like I said we looked at a lot of venues, Acquaviva caterers every wedding so it was great to not have to budget the open bar and food. Their prices are very open we could guess when comparing to our other vendor locations what the price would be in the long run, no surprises when the final bill came!!
We loved our whole day and got compliments on how amazing our venue was.Acquaviva Winery's reply:
Thank you Katelyn, for such a wonderful review. We loved working with you and Peter, you had so many unique special touches on your day, My favorite was your escort card rocks for each guest, bringing your geologist personalities into the mix, and different colors for each meal, amazing!
Best

Food and restaurant staff was AMAZING!!! VITO was AMAZING TOO!!!
Words cannot describe how delicious the Italian food was!!!! The wait staff and VITO were AMAZING and ABSOLUTELY ACCOMMODATING!! We did have a few mishaps with the event coordinator who was unable to accommodate our centerpiececs and made us come down the day before our wedding to the venue (1.5 hours away) to assemble them. That did not make me a happy bride, but with our family's help- we prevailed!!! The venue is BEAUTIFUL; ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING!-
