    A&B Wedding

    We couldn't have gotten any luckier stumbling across Wilder Mansion when we did! The Venue is absolutely beautiful and the staff there was so kind and helpful as they helped out with the smaller details too! We would choose this place a hundred times over

    We had a Ball!

    I cannot say enough about Wilder Mansion and the incredible staff. From the very beginning, they were extremely communicative and spent hours with my mother and I, showing us around the property and discussing minute details. My wedding was a dream come true. Everything was beautiful and the guests had a wonderful time.

    Wildly Wonderful

    The staff at Wilder are some of the nicest people in the business. Even though I changed my mind a lot and needed help figuring out details with my other vendors, they were there. The day of the wedding, the staff helped orchestrate everything flawlessly and provided me with great kindness before I walked down the aisle. I highly recommend booking Wilder for your wedding!!

    Thank you Katie! We appreciate the review (and the super cute title of the review). Enjoy the holidays!

    my daughter's 10/6/23 Wilder wedding

    I'm the bride's mom. The bride chose this wedding site. The venue & gardens are beautiful. Meagan Dovidio & Peg Koch & the rest of the staff/crew were amazing. They were receptive to ideas ( the bride wanted to include her dog in ceremony) as well as made other wonderful suggestions. They were patient answering tons of questions. They were courteous and always helped with a big smile. They even offered to help set up decor on tables & mantles) according to our instructions. They also helped us take down & pack up decorations, even offering us to leave/store stuff there for pick-up another day. They were also a good resource for officiants, musicians, DJs, florists, caterers & bakeries. We ended up using vendors familiar with the mansion such as MyChef Catering & Blossoms & Branches Florist. We were happy with all of them. Wilder staff were extraordinary at the last minute when we had to change the ceremony to indoors due to rain & wind. We're in awe of their skills and quick action. We were very satisfied with how everything turned out. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them!

    Wilder Mansion's reply:

    Thank you Ada! It was a pleasure to host your daughter's wedding. Everything was beautiful, including the super sweet flower girl. Please be sure to stop by the next time you're in the area!

    Wonderfully personal, beautiful and intimate venue

    Amanda and the rest of the events team helped make our wedding so perfect. The grounds are immaculately kept, with tightly pruned flowers trees and bushes lining every conceivable pathway on the property.

    Lovely venue

    We loved Wilder Mansion! We were hesitant about not having space for everyone in one room, but it turned out to be a great time that allowed guests to choose what they did with their night—chatting, playing games, or dancing. The night went beautifully!

    Wilder Mansion's reply:

    Thank you Maggie! We were thrilled to host your event. Everything was beautiful. Be sure to send a few pictures when you have a moment.

    Beautiful Ceremony Location

    Wilder Mansion was such a beautiful and wonderful place to have our ceremony. They have a really nice tent over the space, which was great for the sun and heat. We also took our photos there and just so beautiful! So many different spots to get photos. Our officiant even said this was one of the best venues he has been too. Meghan the Wilder coordinator is fantastic! Very responsive and made sure the day went so smoothly. Highly recommend wilder for a ceremony location.

    Wilder Mansion's reply:

    Thank you Kayla! It was a wonderful day (although so, so hot!). You looked absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for choosing our venue for your big day!

    Wonderful Wedding Venue!

    This was such a good option for my small and intimate wedding! We did just the ceremony at the mansion and I was completely blown away by how helpful and considerate Meagan and her staff were. The mansion is totally beautiful by itself we felt there was no need for any extra décor. We had the whole mansion to ourselves in the morning and it was so perfect-- all the boys got ready together and there was enough space for the girls to get hair and makeup done in the upper level. We chose to do the ceremony outside in front of the fountain, but also had the inside as a back-up option which was such a relief! Meagan really knows what she is doing and was prepared for my every question and request! So thankful we were able to do it here. It was a an easy set-up, easy and beautiful ceremony, and an effortless cleanup. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for something all-in-one or even just a simple yet flawless ceremony!

    Wilder Mansion's reply:

    Thanks for the great review Josie! It was such a beautiful ceremony, and it was an honor to host your special day. Be sure to stop by whenever you're in the area!

    Book this venue – you will not regret it!

    WOW. Out of all of the vendors we worked with throughout our wedding journey, Wilder Mansion was hands down the best. Our main contact person was Meagan and she was lovely; very quick to respond, clear and the most kind. The days leading up to our wedding was so stress free and we were so confident we made the right decision going with them. We were late to our decor drop off and Meagan was so understanding. Our rehearsal was the day before with Peg and it went very smooth even with how many other things she had on her plate. Heather S., Heather U., and Janice helped us set up on the day of the event and they were truly the icing on top of the cake. They made for a perfect evening; helped with set up, tear down and were the most beautiful kind souls I have ever met.

    The venue itself is so beautiful that you don't need much decor. We had our ceremony in the gardens and the flowers were in full bloom and so well kept.

    I highly recommend the Wilder Mansion – you will not regret it.

    The most PERFECT venue!

    Wilder Mansion was perfect for our wedding of 90 guests. It had everything we envisioned and more, including a gorgeous space for an outdoor ceremony, a bridal suite, and a gorgeous reception space. To top it all off, it is incredibly affordable. Meagan was our main contact and she was very accessible and accommodating to all our needs and offered us support in choosing vendors. Additionally, Meagan and the Wilder Mansion staff act as day-of coordinators ,taking out the need for us to hire one. Overall, this is a venue that I would definitely recommend!

    Thank you for the great review Charity! It was a pleasure working with you and your family over the past year, and I am so happy we were able to host your big day. Be sure to stop by in the future to say hi!

    The Perfect Venue

    This venue was perfect for our wedding. We fell in love with Wilder Mansion when we first toured. The cozy atmosphere and ability to have our ceremony and reception all in one place was exactly what we were looking for. Meagan was wonderful throughout all the ups and downs of planning a wedding during COVID. Lisa and Heather were also amazing helping us the day of making everything flow so smoothly.

    The Perfect Venue

    We hosted our wedding at the Wilder Mansion in October, and it was absolutely perfect! The venue is gorgeous and historical, with perfectly-kept grounds. We received so many compliments about our venue choice from our guests. The Wilder Mansion team was outstanding as well – Meagan, Peg, and Heather. Everything was ready to go the week before, and having Peg and Heather on site to help run the evening was wonderful; they did a perfect job and the evening went flawlessly. We would highly recommend booking your wedding at the Wilder Mansion!

    Would Absolutely Recommend the Wilder Mansion!

    Everything about the Wilder Mansion is amazing-- from the venue itself to the staff, my husband and I are so happy we chose it for our wedding! Everyone at the Wilder Mansion was super easy to work with, made the whole planning experience extremely simple, and were amazing the day of our wedding! All of our guests also loved that the venue felt very cozy but also had a ton of room for dancing, taking pictures, etc. Would definitely recommend the Wilder Mansion for any couple looking for a beautiful venue not too far from the city of Chicago!

    Thank you Caroline! We were thrilled to host your ceremony and reception. Best of luck to you and Ted!
