Unique and Affordable Venue in Chicago Suburbs

I was hoping to get some help with finding an affordable venue in the Chicago North/Northwest Suburbs. I have a guest list of 150 people with a total budget of $10K. I am really trying to keep the venue budget under $5K because DJ and photography are important to us. I know we will spend more money that I actually want to spend on those items. My family is from Chicago and his is scattered (we live in Crystal Lake, so I am looking for something somewhat in the middle. I'd love any help/advice that you can give me! Smiley smile

    Jessica, not sure what you're willing to look for, and I'm not sure of prices but I know of a beautiful banquet hall in Willow Springs, IL.

    You can try Four Points Sheraton in Schiller Park as well. That was pretty reasonable!
