From friends, I'd heard about this venue in Elgin before but never had a chance to visit until I…read moreattended a wedding here recently. Now after attending, I can say that this spot really exceeded expectations. One of the best things about this spot was having a large variety of different areas for guests to spread out and socialize. This led to a much more relaxed atmosphere for talking than most weddings that I've attended (I'm not huge into dancing). Even throughout the afternoon and evening, it was very nice to be able to enjoy appetizers on the beautiful rooftop deck, enjoy music and dancing on the dance floor, while still being able to carry on a conversation in the large main dining room -- or head downstairs to lounge around to avoid the crowds and noise. As I attended for a family wedding, I was also able to utilize the generously sized suites that had more than enough room for everyone to bring items they needed and have space to get ready for the event. The Haight has done the look of a rustic venue better than most places that I've seen. One thing that I really appreciated is that the look is rustic, but the facilities themselves are in great shape and modern. There were also plenty of great photo spots all around the venue that were lit nicely and contributed to guests having plenty of photo opportunities that they could create on their own. For those who were looking to rest, I did enjoy having sofas and softer cushioned chairs available to relax in. Overall, excellent venue that I would love to attend another wedding in the future. A beautiful facility with friendly service and lots of space to move around make this a great gathering spot.

I can't say enough amazing things about Sylwia and her team - our day went off without a hitch and she thought of every small detail. She listened to what I wanted (even if it was slightly outrageous), and delivered in every way. She planned every detail and was able to handle a very energetic bridal party and members of the family. We had a 300 person Polish wedding, and Sylwia was so organized and efficient throughout it all. Somehow, she was everywhere all at once and juggled so many tasks. We are so happy we chose Rebel & Lace Events to coordinate our wedding. Sylwia also has decorator experience, and helped me with some centerpiece details at my venue. It all looked so beautiful.

They were hand and hand with us every step of the way, were so helpful they solved problems or set things up before I even knew they were doing it, gave us the space to make our even completely our own, the building is STUNNING and functional with a great history (as someone who is from the area), and it really is true that Rob and Tone created the perfect venue by alleviating every issue and nuance that they have experience go wrong at weddings they have attended. My wedding is only what it was because of them, and I will be forever grateful for that.

We are very impressed with amazing look and feel of the banquet hall and the building as a whole. The interior is very spacious, very clean and very pleasant overall.

My wife and I highly recommend considering "The Brix" if you are evaluating banquet space for an event.

We couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue, Fishermen's Inn truly exceeded our expectations!…read more One of the biggest advantages of choosing this venue is that their food and drink are all in-house. This took a huge weight off our shoulders during the planning process, and they absolutely delivered. We received so many compliments from our guests about both the food and drinks. For hors d'oeuvres, we chose the bacon-wrapped dates, sweet potato and avocado bites, bruschetta, and buffalo chicken bites, our guests especially raved about the buffalo chicken bites and bacon-wrapped dates! We also added the mimosa service while we were getting ready, which was such a fun and thoughtful touch. The staff set everything up beautifully with cups, juice, champagne, and fruit for garnish, it was so cute and made the morning feel extra special. I am so happy that we made the decision to get ready at the venue! The boys had a great time playing bags and football on the patio while the girls got ready upstairs. Our day of coordinator, Tara, was beyond excellent. She helped us plan every detail down to the minute and brought up things I would have never even considered. She was kind, thoughtful, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire day and night. She struck the perfect balance, always there when we needed her, but never overbearing. I truly couldn't be happier with her support. The dining experience was another highlight. The dining room is absolutely stunning, the natural light that comes in from all of the windows and the view is stunning! Many guests mentioned how memorable the dinner service was, they present the meals in such an elegant way! We chose the Fishermen's Inn signature salad, creamy chicken and rice pilaf soup, chicken piccata, and salmon with pineapple mango salsa. Guests consistently told us the food was fresh, served warm, and perfectly portioned. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous and offer so many beautiful spots for photos. Since we got married in October, having a strong indoor ceremony option was very important to us in case of bad weather. Fishermen's Inn gave us that peace of mind. We were lucky to have a perfect 75 degree day and held our dream outdoor ceremony, but I felt completely confident in the indoor backup as well. Our guests loved the outdoor cocktail hour on the patio, and many took that time to explore the grounds and take photos. The landscaping is clearly a priority, the property is incredibly well-maintained, and the fall mums were especially stunning! There was also plenty of parking for guests, which made things very convenient. Another feature we loved is how each part of the day, ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception, can take place in different spaces. It keeps the experience feeling fresh and exciting for everyone. Fishermen's Inn truly sets couples up for success with their organized planning process and consistent check-ins. I am so grateful for their support and how seamless they made everything feel. They have truly thought of everything. We cannot recommend Fishermen's Inn enough, they went above and beyond in every way!

Patti and the team have done an incredible job transforming the venue and grounds--it's hard to believe it was once a restaurant I remember from my childhood. Throughout planning, Tara was always so responsive, kind, and helpful. On our wedding day, every member of the Fishermen's Inn staff went above and beyond. They were professional, accommodating, and genuinely excited for us, which made everything feel seamless. All the vendor arrivals and little details we had discussed in advance were carried out just as we imagined, which gave us so much peace of mind. The setting itself was breathtaking, and we've continued to receive compliments from guests and vendors on how beautiful, scenic, and welcoming the venue was. The food, drinks and staff was also raved about by our guests! We couldn't imagine a more perfect backdrop for our May wedding day and are so grateful to the entire team at Fishermen's Inn.

Clean, spacious, clean restroom facilities, gorgeous everywhere you went. I attended my friend's daughter's wedding over the weekend at Riverside Receptions. I found it to be unique and beautiful in the interior. The wall of windows was insane. The happy couple was married, and their guests watched while overlooking the Fox River. The reception/dinner moved to the upper floor and the room and food were excellent, as was the service. I have food allergies and they accommodated them beautifully. I had the chicken with I think some sort of broccoli on the inside and a cream sauce. The mashed redskin potatoes were insanely delicious. Truly a classy and memorable wedding for the couple, their families and the guests. This goes down as one of the nicest weddings I ever attended.

Above the work I asked her to do her suggestions on how to make things more effecient were very helpful.

Be Our Guest Event services researched several venues and resorts for me to visit, while simultaneously planning every inch of the entire weekend. After deciding on Bacara Resort we chose to give my guests their own bit of down time along with an incredibly planned out day for my wedding. My wedding day consisted of an amazing brunch on a veranda overlooking the ocean followed by 2 custom painted school buses that took us on a wine tasting adventure to 5 wineries. It was a day of fun and celebration and an incredible weekend of relaxation with family and friends. Tammie took care of every inch of planning my wedding- down to even my "something blue" so I didn't have to think, not to mention tactfully endured any stress that comes with a wedding. Tammie's selections in music vendors, flowers, etc. made the final choices for me a breeze as she knew exactly what I was looking for and most importantly, listened to my requests. My friends and family still talk about my wedding as being the most fun wedding they have ever attended. I give most of that to my hostess with the mostess!! The team not only took all the pressure and worry off of me with such an important and stressful time, but had this infectious energy they brought to my party . Thank you Tammie! I will be back with something else exciting for you to plan.
