However, I was disappointed with the way the day went. With 8 hours of access we planned for an hour of clean up at the end with all guests out. The owner had my guests cleaning up the venue starting at 7:30 even though we didn't need to be out until 10:30. I understand asking guests to clean plates but my photos from the end of the night didn't have any of the decor because it was put away before my wedding was over. Truthfully it made me feel rushed to end my wedding which was very disappointing. The bartending service we hired also complained about being rushed and having their services disrupted by the owner. Again, a gorgeous venue but maybe not the place if you want a traditional wedding reception.

We visit here because it's Grandma's house. It's a nice community west of Chicago with pretty, well maintained homes and common areas. There are all kinds of recreation options including raquet sports, golf, gardening and various clubs. At least they were all operating pre-Covid. The community takes good care of the landscape so owners can forget about yard work and just enjoy life. And enjoy it they do. From my experience the folks here are happy and social, and content to live here. The local community offers all the shopping and services you could want just a short drive away. For those over 55 this is a good option to have a single family home, but relinquish some of the work.

For $30/hr, Algonquin's residents can rent the first floor of this building that's nestled on the…read morecorner of Algonquin Rd. & 31. I never even knew this was a possibility but stumbled upon it, thanks to the power of Google, when I was looking for a venue that would accommodate 50-ish people for my son's baptism reception lunch. This place definitely won't break the bank by any stretch of the imagination. The only downside is that it's not much to look at. The hall is nice and airy, 2 walls of windows let ample light stream in, and a wall of floor to ceiling mirrors reflect the light. The floors are wood, and the walls are cream, which provide a nice neutral palette for decorating without worrying about clashing. There's a tiny little kitchen in the back corner, complete with microwave and a full-sized refrigerator. Obviously they don't cater or anything, which is both a plus and a minus. They don't even have a coffee maker on hand, so be prepared to bring your own. What they do supply, or at least claim to, are 6-8 tables and 40-50 chairs. What we found when we arrived were 3 tables and about 20 chairs. We never did locate the rest of the tables and chairs, but we made due with what we had. This place isn't fancy by any stretch of the imagination, but if you're looking for a nice facility to hold a lunch or a get-together that isn't in your home, Algonquin's Historic Village Hall is a great option. We will definitely keep this place in mind for our next party.

I believe booking was a breeze (according to my mother and sister) and the owner was incredibly helpful, friendly, answered all of their questions and checked in on us prior to when the event started and afterwards! I love how you're able to bring your own food and drinks (non alcoholic - but they do have a bar area that can be rented), and supply you with tables, chairs, tablecloths and black chair covers. This was such a beautiful experience and I know we will be renting this place in future for other events!

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.

She…read morekinda looked at my funny, but I think she thought about it for a minute and realized that Bingo is awesome and everyone should play at least once in a while. She got on her handy iPhone and found S. Elgin's Lions Club. Bingo on Saturday nights. 2 (6 board) cards for $11 with some bonus game options for a buck a piece. It was a blast. They have a full service bar, snacks, and food. They even have Pull Tabs!!! If you have been to Michigan (and I'm sure other states, too), you will know what I'm referring to. It's a great time for little moolah if you can control yourself and I cant wait to go back. But be careful....you should not yell "Bingo!" unless you are absolutely certain you have it.... ...I did this and it was incredibly embarrassing. :/ Also, they are very quiet here while the game is going. This is not a social event by any means.

My name is Jennifer S. and I love bingo…read more Don't ask me how it happened. I couldn't even begin to tell you when I first got the bug. It just sorta happened. I visit the South Elgin Lions Club from time to time with my sister. I toss on a babushka to keep my hairdo in place until my weekly trip to the parlor (just kidding, btw), grab some bottled water, snacks, my bingo dabbers and cash then I'm on my way. Doors open at like 5pm on Saturday - actually it might even be a little earlier, but the Lions have a Facebook page, so you may want to double check there. I've only been that early once and we got prime seating, but boy were the regulars mad at us. So I try to get in by 5:30 and get average seating upstairs. They have two bars - one upstairs and one downstairs. They have plenty of drink options and lots of sweet treats available for purchase. They sell some savory bites as well, but I haven't tried those. It's a lot of packaged bakery items to raise funds for the club which is fine by me. The mint chocolate pie last time was a nice choice. Anyhow, we usually pick our table. Lay claim to our seats and then go buy our bingo cards, raffles and computers. You can have a pretty fun evening on just a small amount of money. $20 could easily be sufficient, but I usually end up in the $40 range. It's still reasonable considering we are there until almost 10pm and don't go that often. They also have half price bingo once a month which is extra crowded, but totally worth it! The early bird starts at 6:45pm. Don't worry - a regular will explain it all to you. The first official game is at 7pm. This is officially not the time to chat. You don't want to miss a number on one of your boards or you could risk throwing the whole thing out the window. Also, please don't call, text or Facebook me when I'm at bingo. Service can be spotty and I need to focus. Don't forget, I'm trying to win big money here. It can be a lot of fun especially if you win. Grab your lady friends (or a strapping young lad) and head over for the evening. Maybe I'll see you there!
