I attended a wedding here & was stressed out about there probably being no parking. Well, my fears were unfounded because there is plenty of free street parking all around. The signage is lacking though, so I'd be lying if I didn't say that I did worry a little about walking out to see a ticket on my car (but there wasn't one :)). Also, it's in an industrial area so it felt kinda sketch (dimly lit) walking to my car alone that night (ended up having a friend drop me off at my car - safety first ladies!) As for the actual venue, I think it definitely has a lot of potential. It's not a place whose beauty just commanded my attention as i entered, but what it is, is a blank canvas that you can shape into whatever you desire. The bartenders were INCREDIBLE, although I'm not certain if they were with 1520 or independent. Again, I was just a wedding guest. The coat check attendants were very kind as well. Overall, I really enjoyed the wedding and I would certainly consider having a special event here.

We had hoped to be able to utilize the outdoor space, but Mother Nature didn't cooperate...and it really didn't matter. Things were set up inside and it looked stunning.

They were responsive and helpful throughout the process from our tour and booking right through to the day of the wedding. And, Spencer nailed it with the DJ match (Devin); we danced up a storm! I can't recommend Greenhouse Loft more highly. We would do it all again!

The Doctor and I were invited to the wedding of a friend of ours that was held at this venue. When…read morewe pulled up, I was not sure what to expect as we went into an older building and had to take an escalator to get to the main event. However once we reached the top, there was no need to worry. What a lovely space this was to have an event. There was a reception area for drinks prior to the ceremony. The room was set up nicely with a combination of standing cocktail tables and seating to sit down in. The bar area was set up nicely and was well organized. I was so surprised to see the outdoor space next to the room where the ceremony was held. The room itself was beautiful, but seeing the outdoor greenery made it all the more magical. After the ceremony everyone retired back to the reception area for drinks. I kept trying to figure out where dinner was going to be served. While having drinks, the staff kept walking around with these amazing hors d'oeuvres! I had so many that I almost did not want to have dinner, they were that good. Well color me surprised as the same room we were in for the ceremony was transformed into a dining area, with a second room next to it set up for a band and dancing. The set up for dinner was nice and the food was actually pretty good, I mean clean your plate good. The staff did an excellent job of serving without getting in the way of things. And the speed at which they transformed the room was pretty quick. I am usually not much for wedding events but we had a great time here, in part to the lovely couple, but the venue had a big part to play in it. If I had known about this place and COVID had not been a thing, we could have had The Doctor's 60th here.

The facility has been…read morerecently updated to a modern, sleek look and we were able to use the gazebo in the park for the ceremony. Most importantly you can not beat the price for a wedding, especially with what you get in return. We looked far and wide for an affordable location in the Chicago area and Centre beat them all in price and quality. I'm still hearing about how great the staff was, how good the food tasted, it was very good, and we were able to have a 6 hour open bar. All included in our price with tax and tip. JoAnne and Roberta at Centre made the process of getting everything ready extremely easy and JoAnne made sure we didn't spend anything over what we needed to,which I appreciated. If you are in the process of looking for a wedding venue I would stop here first and see what JoAnne and her team can do. You won't be disappointed.

From start to finish, the staff at Garden Manor were professional, attentive, and easy to work with. They always responded to our questions quickly, offered helpful advice during planning and contract signing, and made the process stress-free. The venue itself is beautiful--modern, spotless, and so elegant that it needs little to no extra decoration. Our guests loved it, and so did we! I would absolutely recommend The Garden Manor to any couple looking for a venue with excellent service and a stunning space.

How do I start with this one. It was a cluster if your looking for a simple summary of this fiasco…read morethat this horrible place pretended to disguise as a formal banquet hall. The incident started with a sweet 16 that my family booked there. First of all, the bill was why to high for just a hall with no food or decorations. Not even an open bar was offered for the $5,000.00 price tag. There was a young lady when we walked I who was asked to make sure that invites were in hand and that wasn't the case. I had to ask her twice during the night to continue to do her job. The next gross level of horrible service came from the bartenders who not only didn't know how to mix a drink, they were to check IDs that according to them is their policy. I know of at least 3 family members who are not 21 who got drinks. This was discovered after the end of the night when one of our aunt's called to let me know that her 19 year old was intoxicated. If you think this is the end, please read on. At the end of the night the banquet hall manager explained that the liquor that we had purchased,. Over $600 worth needed to be inventoried so we would be able to take back the rest of our spirits until Monday when the inventory was completed. Well, Monday comes around and more than half of the alcohol that was left over was magically gone. I mean, how doea this happen? I asked my aunt that night where in the contract this was written and she said that it was the agreement that she signed. I asked her again a couple of days later and she still was reluctant bro let me see it because I knew that this was a horrible way to do business. I ask that anyone looking for a banquet hall and you find yourself stumbling across this "gem", look elsewhere. The place is dated, the restrooms were not clean, the staff is very disorganized, and their practices are worst of all. There are way more options out there.

The decor reminded me a classic elegant movie. The planning process was a little stressful, but Amy was super friendly and really seemed to want to make us happy. The food was tasty, but I wish we could've tried more of it before choosing our menu. (We could only try 2 entrees and none of the super long hors d'oeuvres list. They also didn't have photos to look at, which would've been a decent alternative to trying the food.) On wedding day, the servers took away my plate before I ate any of it, after I specifically asked them not to. And they also told my grandmother there were to to-go boxes. I understand if I wasn't the bride, but that was pretty frustrating considering the amount of money we spent on the reception.

Also- there is street parking as well as a public garage around the corner- I think it's $2 for 1 hour or less, $3 for 2-3 hours, and I'm not sure what the prices are above that.
