Without a doubt, hiring Kristen and EverLasting Impressions was the #1 million dollar decision we…read moremade in our wedding planning process. Kristen and Beth helped make our day run smoothly, flawlessly and like clockwork, and my husband and I never worried about a single thing during the day. We cannot recommend EverLasting Impressions enough and hope that all future couples reading these reviews look no further. We will certainly be recommending them to anyone that is ever looking for an event planner!

How do you write a review for someone who single-handedly made your wedding the prettiest, least…read morestressful, most enjoyable day you have ever had?? Kristen is a goddess. Right away we knew she was the right fit for us. She took the time to get to know us before we contracted, so both sides knew what they were getting into. We picked the Full Planning Package, and that allowed us to occasionally get distracted by buying a house and major job changes without worrying that we were losing track of our wedding checklist and timetable. We met frequently and every time I came away feeling more and more prepared for the day. She brought things up I wouldn't have even considered, she helped give advice but never pushed. On the day of the wedding I didn't have to think about anything but what was happening in the moment. A truly precious gift. Kristen and her assistant really went above and beyond. The day truly felt like us. Thank you Kristen for being a rock for us throughout everything!! If you aren't sure if a planner is in your budget, let me tell you that NOT having Kristen would have been a disaster and we couldn't afford to NOT have her brilliant mind and kind soul working for that one beautiful day. (PS- sorry I didn't eat enough dinner even though you Specifically made time for me to!! lol, SO EXCITED!) LOVE YOU KRISTEN!

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.

My group had a great time getting to tour the mansion before the lunch and entertainment. Many hadn't been to the mansion before, or it had been years since they visited.

I highly recommend Jacob Henry to anyone looking for a social outing for a group (church, bank, Red Hats, senior group, women's group, etc). Would definitely return!

I am forever THANKFUL. Their experience, organization, and just willingness to commit to making this day so special. From the start, we loved their food and knew immediately they were it. We even did an additional tasting to look at other options on their menu. Wedding day ... everything that could have happened to us ... happened (never returning to our venue ever). Luckily none of the guests found out because they were all distracted about the food. During contrail hour, the staff was nonstop bringing appetizers because people were taking thirds, fourths, etc. & I'm still hearing about it! Then dinner was exquisite. The portion of the food is very notable... GENEROUS and FILLING. Even my pickiest family members were asking for more. We had a lot of DIYs and they accommodated all of them. Even the ones I brought last minute. And the staff -- every single person -- was so kind, friendly, and just lovely to be around. The bartenders were absolute champs. They even went above and beyond to make us happy while our venue was being EXTRAORDINARILY difficult. Stephanie even came to help us de stress us & the bartenders were just phenomenal - trust me, our 170 guests do not mess around with an open bar. In conclusion, our venue.. never again. Marie's catering would choose all over again! Thank you again!! I don't have photos of our food at the moment, but wanted to share photos because it ended up being such a beautiful day

I was part of a planning committee to host a high school reunion. We ended up choosing Ashyana…read moreBanquets because they were flexible with the first deposit and subsequent payments. We worked with Aamit, who really did a lot to keep our business. Although we booked the venue a year in advance, it was difficult to encourage classmates to purchase tickets that far in advance so we were limited with how much we could use as a deposit, coming out of our own pockets. As the date neared, we realized we may need to use a smaller room than originally anticipated. We even had some thoughts of canceling entirely. Ultimately, we reserved the venue for 120 people and it was beautiful. A time was had by all and people are still talking about it a week later. We only had one bartender for the night, but I felt that he kept up well with the drinks. The food was surprisingly delicious. We had a chicken option and roast beef option buffet style. The space was nice and when I got there an hour early to finish setting up, the tables were set, waters poured, etc. However, Aamit really deserves a special shout out. I know there were certain upgrades (like the gold chairs) that he gave our group for free. Although it was a bumpy process for us in collecting the funds we needed to have the reunion, Aamit was patient and ensured that we were able to have the awesome reunion we wanted.

We hosted our daughter's high school graduation party in June 2025…read more While planning, ambience and set up were all great, the food quality was good; but the place faltered severely in the execution. We booked the place for 120 guests, while only 114 attended they ran out of food. Food buffet was not monitored and replenished and when we asked to replenish, the staff behavior was totally unprofessional and said they cannot do anything as chef was gone for the day. After seeking help from management there was an attempt to "patch up" by mixing frozen food etc. and by the time food came the guests were not in mood anymore. After the event the hotel management (Mr. Jain) asked for feedback. While the feedback was given, there was no acknowledgement, no apology and no remedy. Totally disappointed with staff behavior and management's attitude. I will not host event here again because of their attitude!
