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. -

Classic, Timeless Venue
Natalie, Erin, Michelle, and the staff at The Allure truly know how to create wedding magic. My husband and I had our wedding there this past weekend and could not have been happier. From the moment we signed on with The Allure, the team there has been very helpful and communicative throughout the planning process, even when they were dealing with the horrible tragedy of the Chesterton fire. They were so gracious in allowing us to set up several days beforehand, leaving everyone (especially me) feeling stress-free come the morning of our wedding. The day-of flowed so smoothly thanks to these marvelous ladies and their team; I knew they had everything taken care of, leaving me and my husband to truly enjoy the day and our guests. If great customer care isn't enough, the venue is breathtaking. Few other venues will compare to the timeless class The Allure provides. If this isn't enough to convince you that The Allure should be your wedding venue, just give it a look! I'm sure you'll be as blown away as we were. -

From ashes to magic
The Allure + Allure on the lake was such a wonderful (although unexpectedly shocking) wedding experience! We originally booked to have our wedding at the Allure on the Lake on 6.8.19. We woke to a flood of news that the venue had sadly burned down the morning of 6.3.19. Natalie, Troy, and all of the staff at the Allure worked so hard to help us find another venue with only 5 days before our wedding. We were able to move to The Allure and had such a magical day. Natalie became like family to me after all of the planning we did together over 20 months. I cherish the friendships I made and the memories will last a lifetime! I highly recommend this venue for your dream day! -

Perfection
The staff were very accommodating and helpful with any questions that we had. The wedding day was very smooth and very timely. We had zero hiccups on our end. Very accommodating with all the food allergies in our booking we had no one felt left out or singled out. The food is very good. The bridal and groom rooms are both top notch. The grooms room had a poker table, streaming tv and very relaxing. When it came to the decorating for my big day it was spot on and I had no issues. I would have no issues with this venue for anything. Bring a lock so everyone can see what day your big day was on. -

Wowwwwww!
We had our ceremony and reception at the Allure on the Lake and...WOW! I cannot say enough good things about this venue. I worked with Natalie and Michelle. They truly want your dream wedding/vision to come to life and they do everything in their power to make that happen. Planning a wedding is extremely overwhelming and they made the process so easy - from start to finish they are there to assist with everything. They answered my one billion questions in a timely manner and did so with such kindness. I never once felt like a burden when sending them my 3rd email of the day because they made it clear that that's what they are there for. They made everything flow so smoothly on the day of the wedding. Even when a few hiccups happened.. and those things will happen no matter how perfectly you think you have it planned. They truly are the most amazing staff! We had endless compliments from our wedding guests about how excellent the food was and how beautiful the venue was. You will not regret having your wedding here!! -

Beyond what we could have imagined!
Our wedding day was absolutely perfect thanks to Allure on the Lake. The venue is stunning - we just loved the modern industrial look! They let us bring our decor the day before, and they were there all morning setting up and putting our vision to life! They made it easy - we didn’t have to do a thing the morning of! Everyone complimented the food. It was delicious and they give you a very good serving size where nobody is left hungry. They were also super accommodating with food choices certain people couldn’t have and allowed us to alter/substitute. Our wedding day was beyond perfect. Thank you Allure on the Lake, especially Natalie and Michelle, for everything! -

Captured our vision
From searching, to securing our date, to planning and hosting our wedding, The Allure on the Lake was a delight to work with. The first two venues that we viewed were The Allure and The Allure on the Lake and that was enough for us. The Allure on the Lake stole our hearts! It was the perfect venue to capture what we had envisioned for our big day. The planning process was made so much easier thanks to their amazing crew. They always answered all our questions in a timely manor and were able to accommodate all our ideas! The day of our wedding ran so smooth. The crew had everything set up when the wedding party arrived and made sure we had everything we needed. They worked closely with our vendors to make sure everything was there on time and in place. Our guests complimented us so much on how beautiful the ceremony room was and how great the food was at the reception. To this day we are still hearing about the food and what great options we had chosen. Planning a wedding was one of the most stressful things I have ever done but with the help of the crew at The Allure on the Lake we never had to worry about the venue. They really did take care of everything! I would highly recommend this venue to all future brides! -

Amazing Venue and Amazing Staff
My husband Luke and I got married in May 2018. This venue was fairly new at that time, but let me tell you, you would have thought they had been doing this for an eternity at this location. From the moment I walked in I fell in love with the venue, but loving the venue is only part of it. The whole staff was AMAZING. I would call or email and within an hour I would have some type of response. They made me feel like they were my own personal wedding planners. I worked with Natalie the most and she would not only give me ideas, but she made me feel like my wedding was her only wedding she had been planning for. The food was spectacular and the service through the whole evening was amazing! I cannot say enough good things about this venue! -

Breathtaking Venue
I cannot say enough good things about using The Allure as our wedding venue! The building itself is a complete surprise and absolutely stunning. It was so convenient to have everything happen in one location! The staff was very easy to work with and ready to answer any and all of my questions and concerns. The day of the wedding, I truly had nothing to worry about! -

I owe them everything!
There is nothing about my wedding that I would change and that’s because of Natalie. From her quick thinking, to her creative mind and knowing what will look best where. My journey from not knowing anything about weddings and planning my own has been long and treacherous, but i wouldn’t change a thing. From the moment I signed my contract Natalie was there for any question, concern and wonder I had about any topic. My night went smoothly and it was magical thanks to her and the team. I did not have to decorate much, since the Allure alone is a beautiful historical hidden gem, but the staff and the feature of having the ceremony, cocktail hour & reception with catering & an on-site organizer worth the money. I will be telling brides, even if I don’t know them about the allure!-

Stunning Venue
Best venue & team ever. My husband & I had the time of our lives. The food was great too! The Allure has such a charm that our guest made tons of comments. Every question I asked was answered in a quick manner which is so important.
If I had to do it all over again, I would choose the Allure in a heartbeat. -

Natalie and Michelle were so wonderful to work with. I was planning my wedding from another state with a time difference. I waa slightly worried about this at first but they reassured me that this was something they have dealt with before. They sure didn’t disappoint!! They got back to me via email within the day, even at 10 o’clock at night sometimes! I felt like I was in such great hands with those two. Extremely professional and kind. Day of the wedding I couldn’t have asked for more. They constantly checked in on me and my girls (rented the bridal suite) brought drinks, food etc. I didn’t have to worry about a thing day of the wedding! I felt very much at peace and could enjoy my time getting ready and being with my family. The venue is amazing and pictures don’t do it justice. Food came out HOT and delicious. I would highly recommend this venue for any type of event you need. -

The Allure was exactly what we were looking for in a venue! We wanted to decrease travel for our guests and to have everything in one place. It was so fun to have two unique and amazing rooms available for our wedding day all at the same location. The ceremony and cocktail hour was beautiful and romantic . The ballroom was elegance and gorgeous for dinner and dancing! The photos are fantastic with very little effort from us decorating! The rooms are so nicely set up, that you don't have to do any extra decorations if you don't want to. Food was great, and the staff was so helpful for the entire duration of the event planning. We got our own wedding planners included with the venue who were experienced and creative. We wouldn't change a thing about our experience or choice to use The Allure! -

This venue was so elegant and beautiful. The whole experience was amazing from start to finish. The girls really take care of you throughout the whole process! I would get responses from them within the hour no matter what day or time. Natalie & Corynn made my wedding experience so much easier than I could imagine. They took care of every detail, coordinated everything day of, and solved any problem! I imagined myself running around like crazy on the morning of my wedding but that was not the case with them. They handled everything so I could enjoy my morning with my bridesmaids in their beautiful bridal suite! They made my ballroom/ceremony area more beautiful than I could imagine. The food and alcohol is all top quality and the staff is delightful!! The security guy was even helping us figure out my bustle when we were struggling! I can't say enough positive things about this venue, staff, and experience. I LOVE THE ALLURE!!

When my fiancé and I began shopping around for venues, we became overwhelmed and disenchanted. When we got the opportunity to meet with Natalie at The Allure, we immediately felt at ease. Any questions along the way, the coordinators Jenny and Natalie answered quickly. They were really organized and professional.
The venue is elegant and classy, but not stuffy. You do not have to decorate too much because the venue itself is a decoration. Every inch of the building is beautiful. We told our guests not to judge it from the outside, because it truly is a hidden gem. We liked how it is a “one-stop shop” with the ceremony and reception areas in the same building. The dedicated cocktail area had plenty of seating for our guests.
The Bridal suite was included with the package we chose. It was a roomy, comfortable space for all of the ladies to get ready. I had my hair stylists, makeup artist, videographer, photographers and bridal party in the suite and there was still plenty of room. It was very convenient to have the ability to get ready in the same location as the ceremony.
My fiancé and I liked that the packages were presented as a price per head. It made it very simple for calculating while working on our budget. The package lists include food, liquor, service fees, gratuity and security. They do not have hidden costs as everything is listed and crystal clear. We also liked that The Allure provided a suggested vendor list as it showed that they had good working relationships with quality companies. They also contacted our vendors the week of the wedding to coordinate times with them, so it was one less thing for me to worry about!
They made it very convenient by allowing us to drop off our decorations early. Even better, they set it all up for us. The food was tasty and family style serving was nice because it was quick and easy. Everyone who worked that night from the wait staff and bartenders to security were amazing. We highly recommend The Allure to anyone. -

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!!! :) -

I had my dream wedding at The Allure and Natalie and Jenny were incredible to work with! They were amazing with answering all of my questions and were super accommodating when I asked to re-tour when my husband was in town since he is in the military and didn't get to come to the first one. The Allure is a one stop shop and it made my life SO much easier to know I could trust Natalie and Jenny with all the little details of my big day! -

The Allure is a beautiful, glamorous venue located in the kind of town you wouldn't expect to have such a stellar venue. We received so many compliments on our reception and hall, but all of that pales to just how amazing Natalie and Jenny. They are a dream. They are on a mission to make beautiful weddings AND to keep their brides in one piece on the big day. Jenny and Natalie took care of everything. Every time I had a question, I got a quick response with solid information. When I took all of my decorations to them the week of the wedding, I was nervous about all of the items and wondering how they would make it all work without me being right there. However, these ladies are pros. Everything was laid out perfectly and was stunning. These ladies took care of everything for my wedding and I didn't have to worry about a thing. Wonderful venue, wonderful service. -

This venue is a diamond in the rough! From the outside it looks like an ordinary old brick building but on the inside it is breathtaking! The staff is equally as wonderful! Jenny and Natalie helped me through every stage of the planning process and kept in close contact with all of my vendors. The week of my wedding, the only think I had to worry about is showing up where I needed to be. They even did complete set up and tear down of everything! I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out and would highly recommend this venue to anyone who is starting the planning process for their wedding! -

I can't say enough good things about the allure. The venue is absolutely stunning and the staff was so helpful. Definitely worth the price tag. So many of our guests commented on how beautiful the Allure was. The food and drinks were also very good. The staff made it very easy to plan a wedding from 2 hours away. Would definitely recommend! -

This is a beautiful spaces placed in La Porte IN. I have been nothing but please with my planning experience. My wedding is less then a month away and the staff at the Allure are extremely helpful! I did all my research before choosing a venue, I looked at every space within a 50-mile radius and nothing compares, its beautiful, great staff and there are no hidden fees! -

I was so lucky to have my wedding done at the Allure. I knew from the moment I saw the pictures online...that was my venue. Going to visit the venue sealed the deal. I couldn't imagine having my wedding anywhere else.
I worked with Natalie the entire time and since I didn't have a wedding-go-to person for my questions, they went to Natalie who answered them all perfectly and within a timely fashion. We worked very well together and in the end, the wedding went off without any issues (or at least, I wasn't aware of it!).
All my guests raved about the venue - how beautiful and unique it was. I am so lucky to have had my wedding in such a beautiful place and to have worked with such great people who helped make my wedding perfect. -

I cannot speak highly enough of the Allure. Its beauty cannot be overstated. From its simple, tasteful ceremony space, to its modern, sophisticated downstairs cocktail lounge, to its 20's-inspired grand reception hall, a Midwestern bride would be hard pressed to find better. The bridal suite was the proverbial icing on the cake, giving my bridesmaids, family, and self more than enough space to get ready.
I found their pricing a bit high, but compared to other wedding venues in Indianapolis and Chicago, they are a steal. Their all-in pricing makes planning your big day straight forward and simple. Moreover, with three packages (silver, gold, and platinum) and a-la carte add-ons, their offering can fit almost any budget and desire. The Allure only becomes comparatively expensive if you're having an extremely small wedding. This is due to event minimums, but since most full-service venues have some sort of event minimum, the Allure is still going to be among your best bets financially. Moreover, given the quality and beauty of it's offering, the Allure will almost certainly prove your best value.
Perhaps one of the best features of the Allure, aside from its beauty and all-in pricing system, is its provision of event coordinators. Since I was planning my wedding all the way from Belgium, I could not have successfully planned our wedding without Natalie and the other coordinators. They responded professionally, promptly, and courteously. They patiently answered my questions and gave me honest opinions. Moreover, they suggested and worked with my vendors. In truth, they went above and beyond, and I could not have asked for better service.
The wedding and reception both proceeded smoothly on the day itself. The decor was flawless. The hors d'oeuvres were excellent; the salad and main courses were good. The plated meals were served efficiently, and the bartender kept the drinks flowing.
If I had it to do it again, I'd choose the Allure every single time. -

My husband and I had our wedding reception at The Allure on May 3, 2014. It was absolutely beautiful! The Allure team was very helpful throughout the planning process and willing to accommodate any special requests. They were super friendly and helped to make our day very special! Our guests could not rave enough about how lovely everything turned out and how delicious the food was! It was an amazing day :) -

I just had my wedding here this past weekend and I can't begin to tell you how amazing it was. From the moment we walked in during our initial consultation, I knew we were in really good hands. Our coordinators, Natalie & Michelle were OUTSTANDING. They really made us feel so welcome and taken care of. Their coordinator services eliminated the need for me to hire a third party day-of planner.
The atmosphere/decor is so unique that you really don't need to do much to gussy the place up. I'm from Chicago and I have YET to see an event space like this. All of my guests still can't stop talking about what an amazing venue we chose.
The bridal suite is AWESOME!!! The suite on its own could've sold me on this hall. We had somewhere between 10-25 people in there and still had enough elbow room to breathe as we all got ready.
I also love the fact that it is a one-event/night space so you won't have to worry about running into other random guests/brides at your own wedding.
Did I mention how affordable this place is?!! If I could do my wedding all over again, I would DEFINITELY choose this place. No regrets..not a single one!! -

The Allure is the most beautiful venue and I was so pleased with the way it looked the day of the wedding! The wedding planners are more than amazing. They make the day so easy for the bride and groom! -

We used them for our wedding and could not have been any happier. They try to do as much for the couple as they can. Ahead of time we dropped of our seating, wedding favors, and other miscellaneous things we wanted out and they placed everything on the tables. They did an awesome job of coordinating the night and events that took place. The food was great too! You also have a few days to pick up all of your things after the reception ends. Would recommend!!! -

This venue is breathtaking. The staff is incredibly friendly and really helps you organize (plan, and offer advice if you need them) and implement your ideal visions. They are very intelligent and skilled at what they do, and help be your wedding manager if needed. They make the wedding day very worry-free. This venue has a variety of packages...all with great food, lots of rooms, and many extras (if you so desire). Very pleased with our experience! -

Jenny and Megan are amazing. They are there with you every step of the way. It is an amazing place to get married. We had our ceremony and reception there. I was blow away from all of the hard work they do for you. The food was very yummy too. It's nice to have the venue and caterer all in one. Took away a lot of stress. -

Overall, my experience with Allure was great! There were a few minor things along the way, but the wedding reception was amazing anyway. Both ladies worked very hard with me to make sure everything went how I liked. The place is jaw dropping and I don't think I could have picked a more unique reception hall. The ceremony space is beautiful too, but we decided to get married at a local park. Their inside ceremony space was out back-up plan. This is definitely a must see. You won't regret it. -

As soon as I found the Allure I was ready to sign on the dotted line. The decor just screamed my name and my fiance's name. It was very much our style. We had a vintage glamourous wedding and didn't have to decorate much because the building is already amazing as it is. Megan and Jenny did a great job always being available, attentive, and responsive to any questions I had at any time. It was a little tough planning this event from far away because I don't live in Laporte anymore. I was a little bummed that I couldn't attend my tasting because they only do it in the middle of the week, but not a big deal. The food was amazing anyway and exactly what we wanted. The staff was great! -

The entire staff of The Allure is great! They made everything simple from start to finish, and made sure every detail was perfect. The venue is so gorgeous and the food was very good too. Megan made sure everyone had want they wanted and needed the day of, and kept everything on track and running smoothly. -

Beautiful venue
From the outside, you wouldn't expect this venue to look so beautiful but it's truly breathtaking inside. The 1920's building has been restored but still has a vintage glam feel to it. All of our guests could not stop talking about how great the food was and how gorgeous the venue was!-

100% would recommend!
I was recently married at The Allure on the Lake and I would recommend this venue to anyone getting married in the Chicagoland/Michiana area. Natalie and Michelle were incredibly helpful every step of the way, they were even there to help calm my pre-ceremony jitters and it felt like they really cared about making everything special. They provided a list of vendors upon booking and were excellent in their communication with them. Heads up, if you plan on upgrading alcohol to something they don't have then have multiple options ready and communicate that with the coordinators as soon as you can. They are incredibly flexible and accommodating. We were able to have a wonderful wedding day that cost less than comparable venues. The views are wonderful, there are hotels extremely close by, and you will be well taken care of. -

Beautiful venue! We fell in love with The Allure and didn't bother to look at any other venues for our wedding. The staff and coordinators were a joy to work with! They're attentive, informative and fun people. Everyone who attended our wedding was highly impressed with the venue and we still get compliments on our wedding and choosing The Allure. I would highly recommend it to future brides and grooms! -

The Allure is absolutely stunning. Pictures turn out fantastic and people are definitely "wowed" by this venue! It has all the charm and elegance you could ask for. The VERY only complaint I had was that the cake was cut into tiny slivers and we had almost a whole sheet cake to take home at the end of the night.. -

The Allure was great to work with. Jenny & Troy were so helpful during the planning process and were overly accomodating during the reception as well as after. The food was incredible, everyone was raving about their steak and the white cake! The venue itself is gorgeous and allows a bride to do a little or a lot and have a huge impact either way. -

Overall very flexible and accomodating. We got married out of state and they were able to set up the tables for us. Only complaint is that it was rather annoying that the light in the bathroom of the bridal suite we paid extra for was not working, so we had to go downstairs when we had to use the restroom, and there was no attempt to fix it. Also, we had to ask for the orange juice to be brought up for the mimosas, as there was initially only champagne. Other than that, it was great! Food was excellent. -

Horrifying
Had our daughters wedding at this facility last weekend, paid for a platinum package which included: gray goose, absolute citron, absolute mandarin, tanqueray, Bacardi rum, captain morgan, crown royal, dewars scotch, Johnny walker red,courvoisier, Malibu rum, peach tree schnapps, triple sec, jack daniels, beefeaters, margaritas , and bloody Mary’s...Only two of those listed were served, and most guests left by ten because the bartender was watering their drinks down..The coordinater was not helpful and came up with every excuse in the book as to why it wasn’t served...we paid $91.00 per person and it was horrifying...Most staff was very rude....
We were warned by two other couples not to chose this venue and I sure wish we had listened...
Not even one apology... -
