Our décor was put up perfectly, my husband and I didn’t have to worry about anything on the day of. It is an excellent value for what you get, as well. I could not recommend this venue more! – Shanna via WeddingWire.

We could not have asked for a more perfect venue for our July 2022 wedding! Spencer and his team were amazing to work with – organized, quick to respond, and accommodating with any requests we had. The space speaks for itself and is absolutely beautiful. We did both our ceremony and cocktail hour outside. Leading up to the wedding, I was worried about the highway/metra noise; however, we didn’t hear it at all on our wedding day! Our guests are still raving about the venue and how beautiful everything turned out. – Lauren Cenko via Google reviews.

Dream place to have a wedding. Spencer and his team went over and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful and easy day. We picked the venue over a year and have asked a bunch of questions along the way. Each time we get a quick and detailed response. Every single detail of the venue we amazing and unique. It is everything a couple getting married and their friends the family could ask for. All the people who work there, the DJ, The photo booth, and the look and feel of the venue create memories that last a lifetime. – Anna Bishir via Google reviews.

If you are looking for a perfect city venue this is it! Our outdoor ceremony and cocktail time were wonderful for summer and the indoor space is the perfect vibe.

We absolutely recommend the Haley Mansion as a wedding venue. Our wedding on 5-21-22 was fantastic! The staff was attentive and professional throughout, making the day stress-free and smooth.

We have nothing but good things to say. – Allison Tusek via Google reviews.

We were the photographers for a wedding here. The City View Loft staff were so helpful to us as vendors with everything from where we should put our things to be the most out of the way to making sure we were there for all of the important moments.

Highly recommend. The Monte Bello staff went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was perfect.

We just had our wedding on October 7th, 2022. We absolutely loved having our ceremony at Loft On Lake! Jill is amazing. She replies so quickly via email & is always willing to help. 10/10 would recommend! – Stacey Augle via Google reviews.

Loft on Lake hosted our wedding on November 18th and we can’t thank them enough for sharing their beautiful space with us! Jill was beyond helpful and assisted with coordinating vendors making sure we would have everything set up correctly and with enough time to take pictures at the venue with family. Our original venue went bankrupt earlier in the year and Jill eased our nerves of starting our planning from scratch the second we met her. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to become husband and wife. Anyone getting married or having an event would be so lucky to have it at Loft on Lake! – Abby Baum via Google reviews.

We had an amazing wedding day. Can’t thank Jill and the loft on lake team enough. The venue was beautiful and we loved that they allowed dogs so our pup could be in the wedding.

Overall 10/10 would recommend the space! – Nato Dorado via Google reviews.

The moment we drove up to the Barn, we fell IN LOVE with the beauty of this venue and couldn’t wait to marry at The Barn. It is a STUNNING venue. I could not speak more highly of both Tara and Lindsay. Tara would check in with me regularly to see if I needed any help with the wedding planning process. Lindsay did not miss a beat the day of my Wedding. She went above and beyond to make sure the day was absolutely perfect. From getting there early to let my makeup girl in to set up to the hand-written note I found in my card box that brought me to tears. She is the most thoughtful and kind person. THANK YOU, ladies, for making my experience unforgettable! – Maggie Toraason via Google reviews.

I have wanted to get married at The Barn at Hornbakers since it opened. My dream came true this past weekend and it did not disappoint. Lindsay, our venue coordinator, was absolutely wonderful throughout our planning and made the weekend run smoothly and stress free. They have this down to a science and leave little room for error. The venue was gorgeous through rain and shine and speaks for itself with minimal decor needed to make it beautiful. I cannot recommend this location for your special day enough. – Alyssa Thompson via Google reviews.

We attended our friend’s wedding at this place and it was AMAZING. The venue is absolutely beautiful. The staff was extremely polite and professional. I highly recommend the Mac and Cheese as it was delicious! The icing on the cake for me was the granite or marble Cornhole boards they had out back. It was truly an amazing night and I would highly recommend this venue to anyone around the area. – George Osti via Google reviews.
