Villa Olivia Reviews

My husband and I took one look at this black and we knew it was it. We had an outdoor ceremony right by there pond on the golf course. They already had an arch there that we were able to add our little touch to. Courtney was amazing every step of the way. Any question I had she always was able to give an answer. The set up was perfect. Food was amazing and our guests had a great night. We had a large bridal party but they were able to accommodate seating everyone comfortably. I couldn’t have asked for a better place for our special day.

My husband and I recently got married here and we absolutely loved it! Courtney was our main contact and she so helpful, flexible and very responsive. Our hostess and staff the night of the wedding were amazing and so friendly. The hostess worked with us to make more room for out photo booth and slightly move tables around when we had to move the ceremony inside. The venue was absolutely beautiful! I was a little upset that we wouldn't be getting married under the arch outside by the fountain because of the weather, but was pleasantly surprised when I walked in to find they had set up an arch inside. It made me so happy! We had the Crystal room and it was the perfect size for the 175 guests we had and looked gorgeous with the up lighting we had from our DJ. The food was incredible! We had the steak, chicken cordon bleu, and eggplant parmesan and all of it was cooked to perfection. All of our guests raved about the food ( and shot skis) for days after the wedding. Absolute best venue for events!

We loved everything about Villa Olivia. It is a spectacular venue and the food was out of this world. Someone was always available to help us out when ever we had a questions. I would absolutely recommend anyone looking to have an easy going wedding that will look fantastic to contact this venue.

Jessica is the absolute BEST to work with! My fiancé and I had wanted to check out a few different venues before deciding but Villa Olivia was the second we visited and after talking with Jessica, we really didn't want to look anywhere else! We loved the space available and even more so, we loved how straight forward and honest Jessica was! She told us exactly what we would get, all the different options and choices we had to make, what was provided and what wasn't, what was allowed and what wasn't, all on the first meeting so there were no surprises when going over the contract! We have no concerns about our tight budget because we know within a couple hundred dollars (based on some choices we make) what our final bill is going to be! Also, the venue is completely affordable because it is owned by the park district but they haven't scrimped on a thing! We wanted a venue that wasn't the typical stuffy ballroom and that's exactly what we found! Windows all over the place looking out onto the beautiful property, which we will have complete access to for pictures! We can't wait to do our food and cake tasting because we've heard rave reviews too! If you want a venue that is extremely budget friendly with great staff, free parking, and a straight-forward contract with phenomenal service, I highly suggest talking with Jessica at Villa Olivia! She's quick to respond by phone or email and is extremely friendly!

The staff at Villa Oliva was phenomenal, from the very start everything was explained and assistance was given upon each request. I loved having my venue here!

I am so happy I picked Villa Olivia to get married and have my reception. This location was my first choice and I fell in love with the venue. It was absolutely the best day of my life. Jessica was wonderful to work with! She was super friendly and professional and made every step of the way easy. She knew exactly what I wanted the entire time and assured me not to worry about anything. The whole staff was professional and friendly. Everything from booking the venue, to the tasting, to my actual wedding was exactly what I dreamed about. People raved about the venue and especially the food! The prices were very reasonable compared to all of the other venues I looked at.

Please, do yourself a favor and book this venue! You won't regret it :)

Our Coordinator at Villa Olivia was the best! So accomodating & more helpful than i would have ever dreamed! These people will bend over backwards to be sure your day goes smoothly. They really go above and beyond their job description. The Venue was just beautiful.. sunset in the back windows....food Superb! Just Superb!

We were SO pleased with Villa Olivia for our daughter's wedding venue! Jessica was extremely helpful from beginning to end. Always answered my questions promptly and completely.

We shared the most memorable day of our lives at Villa Olivia.
Firstly I would like to say a huge thank you to Jessica, our wedding coordinator. Her organization, and willingness to assist in all areas of our wedding was extremely helpful to lessen the stress of the event and planning.

Secondly, the venue itself was perfect from the way they set our tables, to the choices we picked for colors, everything was exactly as we had envisioned it.

Finally I would like to talk about the food, my word the food, it was amazing! We had so many compliments from our guests regarding the food and how exquisite it was.

I would also like to mention, to anyone who is thinking about this venue for their wedding. We were working on a budget with regard to the wedding and I have to say this place was worth every penny! So if there is any doubt in your mind, let it go, because this venue made our day extremely special.

Everything went so well and was so beautiful. Courtney and Jessica were both so awesome at helping with all the little details and plans. Everyone loved the venue - I couldn't recommend it enough. The cake was great, the food was excellent, and the room was beautiful. I didn't give too much direction on how to set things up and just let them do it as they thought best (it is what they do for a living afterall) and it was awesome! Very happy with everything, 10/10 would marry there again.

Villa Olivia was a beautiful venue - so clean and an amazing setting. We had an outdoor ceremony and indoor reception, and everything went very smoothly.

Everyone at the wedding told us how wonderful the food was - we enjoyed every minute! Thank you so much!
