My husband and I had our wedding and reception here on 9/2/18. From the moment we started talking…read moreabout having a wedding and reception locally, I knew that I wanted a venue with a lot more pizazz and Jacob Henry was at the top of my list. It ended up being the only venue we visited and booked the day after we visited. Every couple's wedding is supposed to show a part of them and ours was no different. Sarah worked with us to make our day show "us" through and through. Our dream day focused on the Mansion and the unique setting it provided us. We were able to have a cost-effective wedding/reception as their pricing is based solely on a minimum cost. She added extra touches like staff bringing hor d'oeuvres and champagne out to my family while we did photos after the reception. They brought water to my husband and I while we did our couple photos after that (it was hot!). They did everything to make us feel, not only like it was our day, but like everything was perfect and there wasn't a thing to worry about - and there wasn't! As far as my guest experience... I did not have guests complaining about food, beverage or service. I actually had a few guests come to me and say some things were amazing. My nephews were devouring the mini-quiche even though we had set up a kids room with Mac n cheese special for them.

I'm just going to say that this place is a 4.5 star place but I'll keep it at four stars for the…read morereview purposes. My friend recently got married here and they had their ceremony and reception here as well. This place is absolutely beautiful for a place not in the best part of Joliet. The ceremony itself was beautiful with live musicians playing through the ceremony and the cocktail hour provided afterwards. The food here was actually really good and I love the food that was provided though I was slightly disappointed that they screw it up one of the special meals that belongs to my wife but they were able to rectify the issue last minute. This place is a lot bigger than you would think and it has a good size dance floor. Many amenities are in-house as well which is great as well. This place was clean and a staff actually work really hard at what they do. They were a few hiccups that hindered this place from being a true five star venue but overall I was not disappointed. I would recommend having your wedding here.

We absolutely loved having our wedding at Monte Bello Estate! One of my favorite things about the…read morevenue was being able to get ready on site and have our entire wedding day unfold in one place. We had our ceremony at the gazebo, which was absolutely beautiful, and our cocktail hour looked stunning. Moving from one space to another throughout the day felt effortless and seamless. They also had golf carts available to transport guests from the parking lot to the ceremony site, which was such a thoughtful touch and made things easier for our guests. One of the biggest things that gave me peace of mind when choosing Monte Bello was knowing that even if it rained, our wedding would still be beautiful. We had a May wedding, so rain was always a very real possibility, but I genuinely never felt overly worried about it. The inside of the venue is gorgeous on its own, and all of the windows still allow you to see the beautiful scenery while bringing in so much natural light. Even more importantly, their backup indoor ceremony space does not feel like a "Plan B." It is beautiful in its own right and still allows for that grand entrance moment I had always envisioned. Knowing I would be happy with either ceremony option took so much weather-related stress out of the planning process. I was also initially nervous about the food because that was such an important part of the guest experience for us. Attending both the food tasting and Raise the Bar event made me feel even more confident in our venue choice. And somehow, the food was even better on our wedding day than it was at the tasting, if you can believe it! We were so happy with everything. Another one of my favorite things about Monte Bello was their network of vendors. They work with so many amazing vendors and provided recommended vendors from the very beginning. Having vendors who already knew the property and were familiar with the venue helped bring our entire wedding together perfectly and made the planning process so much easier. Communication was amazing as well. I honestly didn't have many questions in the beginning, but naturally, as we got closer to the big day, we had more questions and a few last-minute things come up. The team was always incredibly responsive and answered us quickly, which gave us so much peace of mind during those final weeks. Monte Bello gave us the romantic garden wedding we envisioned while also making the logistics of the day feel incredibly easy. From getting ready on site, to our gazebo ceremony, to cocktail hour and the reception, everything flowed beautifully. Our guests loved the venue, the food was amazing, and our photos turned out gorgeous. We couldn't be happier that we chose Monte Bello Estate for our wedding day and would absolutely choose it again.

It…read morewas the only venue we actually toured in person and we knew it was it as soon as we saw it. First of all, the outside is absolutely stunning- no matter which way you turn there's a prime photo backdrop. Secondly, the built in bridal and groom suites are amazing. The bridal suite is designed for getting ready with a separate area with mirrors and vanity, built in rod for the perfect wedding dress photo. The grooms suite is the perfect man cave, with a poker table, pool and foosball tables and signed jerseys and guitars hung up all around. The venue also renovated in between us signing and the day of our wedding and they made it even better than I could have ever imagined- a lot more neutral walls for photos and a women's bathroom that was jaw dropping when I saw it for the first time. Throughout our planning process, we worked closely with Abbey who was nothing but helpful and amazing. She was so communicative and always answered my hundreds of questions promptly. Food tasting went swimmingly and the Raise the Bar event (cocktail and wine tasting for signature cocktails and add ons) was so fun. Throughout these events, it was so clear how dedicated the entire team is to making sure we have the best wedding possible. The real tell was the day of the wedding. I've heard that most venue coordinators don't do all that much the day of in terms of helping with third party vendors so that was my expectation going in: I didn't have a wedding planner so I had assigned all my bridesmaids tasks just in case anything needed to be done. Let me just say- Abbey and the other venue staff took care of everything. All the vendors (florist, photobooth rental, band) came and set up seamlessly without me needing to think twice about it. Abbey even helped with coordinating the timing for the professional during the ceremony. We and all our guests had a blast, the food and drinks were amazing. We got so many compliments on everything, especially our signature cocktails! If you're looking for a wedding venue, I seriously cannot recommend Monte Bello enough!

Once you walk in you can see how beautiful everything was done. The service was on point. All the staff was very friendly and helpful. The owners were on site, too, making sure everything went smoothly. Nothing was overlooked. The food, music and drinks kept the party going into the night. Plenty of room to dance. I liked the place enough to plan an event there in the future. The owners answered all of my questions and made sure my event would be everything I wanted it to be. They had a lot of options for decorations and the price was more than reasonable. Give this place a try if you are planning an event. You will not be disappointed. You really cannot get this level of service from any other place.

Several of our invited guests were refused entry, and when I offered to pay for the additional attendees on the spot (these guests had not RSVP'd and were not included in the original count), the owners declined the payment and continued to keep people waiting outside--or turned them away entirely. Their explanation was that the venue had reached capacity, but this simply wasn't true. We were informed beforehand that the building's capacity was at least 70 people more than the number in attendance. Even with payment in hand, the staff acted as though the situation was beyond their control, which came across as both unprofessional and unreasonable.... it was strange. After investing over 20K into this event, it was humiliating to have to PLEAD for our guests to be allowed in. The entire situation completely ruined the night. If you're considering booking this venue, I strongly suggest looking elsewhere for a location that is more accommodating, and capable of handling unexpected situations with professionalism and respect. To top it off....When we left that night, we were told everything was settled and that our balance was fully paid. However, when I followed up a week later to request the return of our $500 deposit, I was suddenly told that we still had an outstanding balance. The inconsistency and lack of transparency were extremely frustrating -- trust me, save yourself the stress and look elsewhere.
