These people work hard and make sure everything goes smoothly. Thank you, Christine and the rest of the Armour House staff for making our special day SO incredibly special.
We got married at the Armour House in August, and it was a great experience from start to finish. The food was great, the venue is obviously stunning, and Christine and Alisa were very flexible. We had signature drinks with our last name writte Alisa and Christine were always quick to answer our questions. The head chef, Mark, was very sensitive to our guests' dietary restrictions and even set up a few phone conversations with guests to ensure that he could make something to accommodate their restrictions.
Overall, everything ran smoothly, and we were able to have the wedding of our dreams. Our wedding felt like it was straight out of a fairytale at the Armour House. Everything was detailed oriented to perfection from beginning to end.
From getting ready upstairs to our first look pictures in the garden to the amazing reception, w The Armour House is one of the most beautiful wedding venues I have ever seen. Our family and friends can't stop talking about our reception, the food to the cocktails to the experience.
There was some staff turnover during the middle of our planning but Alisa and Christine helped ease the transition smoothly and never let us feel like we were left behind.
We live out of state and I couldn't have planned this without their unending support and advice. Thank you for such an amazing day from beginning to end! Our wedding was magical. I did not expect a fairy tale moment, but the staff, setting, and food at the Armour House made our reception exceed expectations. The venue is beautiful.
The food is delicious. And the staff work diligently to ensu Our friends, families, and my husband and I have very special memories to treasure from our wedding thanks to the Armour House. The beauty of the venue speaks for itself in pictures.
I can't imagine a better setting for a wedding. But what y Well, the entire staff of the Armour worked tirelessly to make sure the evening went perfectly. A special thank you must to go to Christine Sward. Christine may have just put more work into this wedding than we did.
She was there at 9am the morning of, after not going home until 1am after the wedding from the night before. The rest of the staff was also incredible: always pleasant, highly skilled, gracious, etc. Several of our guests commented on the stellar service during cocktail hour and dinner.
The only negative to the Armour House is that, because it is such an incredible venue, it books up 1-and-a-half to two years in advance. If you're newly engaged and looking for a place to create some amazing memories and photos, make an appointment now!
Thank you so much Christine and staff! Truly a stunning venue! Expensive, but it includes a lot! The planning process is very organized. Recently, the main "wedding coordinator" left. Unfortunately I feel like my wedding was less organized the day of because of this. I was disappo In addition, I was disappointed to hear from several guests that one of the bartenders was less than friendly for the price that we paid. Overall, a beautiful venue and I wouldn't have done it differently.
Advice: with the change of positions, get a day-of coordinator to alleviate any day-of stress. The Armour House made my entire wedding.
It is obviously beautiful so I am going to focus on what really makes it stand out, which is the staff. The planning sheet with cost estimates they give you, is very accurate. Then, Dean gave us a tour and to be honest that is what sold me. I thought if this guy is in charge of my wedding, it is going to run smoothly. Dean and Alisa answered all of my million questions via email very promptly. There is an overwhelming amount of decisions to make when it comes to your wedding and they are there with advice every step of the way.
Even the way they break up the meetings makes planning easy. I was pretty sure I was in great hands leading up to the weekend and then the rehearsal made all the nervousness disappear. Dean runs the rehearsal with the precision of a drill sergeant. Focusing on every little detail that will make the presentation absolutely perfect. The day of was absolutely the best showcase of service I have ever seen. From the moment we arrived it was like they were preparing for a grand ball! I saw the wait staff having a meeting in the marble room.
As I got ready in the bridal suite with my bridesmaids I looked out and Dean was even trimming the bushes in the gardens!
The best part was the little details that you never think about. Exactly when to enter during the grand introductions, how to cut the cake, etc. Dean somehow magically appeared every time you thought to yourself "I'm not sure how to Christine even put together a tray of appetizers so the wedding party could eat them after pictures. All the other important things to think about regarding a venue are positive as well. The Armour House is beautiful.
It makes your guests feel like they traveled back in time to an Italian Villa. It is convenient to Chicago. The food is amazing!
My wedding was the most beautiful wedding I have ever been to. And many other people told me and my parents the same thing. It is not a budget wedding option but that is part of what makes it so special and unique.
It is expensive but not at all overpriced. The easiest decision we made for our wedding. I cannot imagine a better place for our wedding.
The beauty of the venue speaks for itself. We always had our eye on it but after one visit we knew it was the place we wanted. We loved that it wasn't your typical reception banquet hall or no em The only real decorating we did were the flowers. All the different rooms add such a fun and unique spin.
The library was quieter for older guests, and the marble room was perfect for our photobooth! Everyone who worked there, especially were extremely Dean and Alisa were beyond helpful throughout the entire planning process. I work nights as a nurse and my husband is and they were very accommodating of our crazy and differing schedules. They made sure my day was stress free and went smoothly.
The food was incredible and every little detail was thoughtfully planned out. I had my wedding at the Armour House and it was amazing! Dean and the staff were incredible. The food was amazing, and all of my guests said it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding.
Everything was so well organized and so beautiful. It was the best day ever, and I will be forever grateful for all that they did to help. We recently got married at the Armour House and I have never seen a more organized Wedding and I was the bride. The venue itself was just gorgeous and I had my fairytale wedding.
One of the nice things about Armour House is that they have their Also, we got married in doors it was April but a gorgeous day, we lucked out but I would recommend having ceremony and reception there. My husband and family members truly hate the hour gaps from churches to reception. The only negative comment is how slow they are to getting back at you until you're a couple months out from your wedding date.
I was persistent and they were very courteous and gave me a wonderful overall experience. This venue is truly incredible.
Dean was beyond helpful throughout the entire planning process. He made our day so much more manageable. If you are looking for an unforgettable wedding, the Armour House won't disappoint. I don't even know where to begin- I have so many good things to say about this venue and staff.
Our wedding at the Armour House was more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. Working with Dean and his team was incredible- if you have them The team is extremely professional and takes pride in their venue and work. Dean took us through every single detail of the planning process and had our day-of timeline laid out by the minute. He and his team were responsive and answered all our questions and were accommodating of all our requests.
They let us personalize our wedding as much as we wanted and we never felt like we were limited in options. There were a few things on the day of our wedding that didn't go quite as planned, and Dean and his team addressed them immediately. For example, we had a glass box for cards that got cracked at some point could have happened during transport to the venue- not the fault of the venue. When I pointed this out, the team said they'd take care of it and, next time I saw it, there was a bow made of ribbon and some flowers taped to the side of the case blocking the crack from sight.
The staff was SO friendly and helpful the night of our wedding. The venue itself is stunning- we barely had to do anything in terms of decor. Our guests are still raving about how beautiful the venue was and how wonderful the staff was. This was the wedding of our dreams and looked just like a fairytale. I could not have more positive things to say about my wedding reception at the Armour House. This venue provided me with my dream wedding, and I give so much credit to Dean and his team.
Throughout our 18 months of planning, Dean ensured we wer The food was incredible, and our guests cannot stop raving about their meals! The backyard of the Armour House provided the most beautiful pictures I could ever imagine. I would definitely recommend the Armour House to anyone in my network. Such and Amazing Experience! We could not be happier with how our wedding reception turned out. This was the only venue we had looked at while planning our wedding.
It was clear from the moment we met Dean and saw the Armour House that this Its absolutely stunning and we loved that it was a historic building and was modeled after an Italian Villa. While its beauty hooked us, its dedicated team really made this venue incredible. Dean is very knowledgeable and walked us through everything. By the time our wedding came around we were confident that it would go smoothly. He is very organized and has been in the business for a while.
Its clear that he loves his job, and it was a joy working with him. We had our wedding at the Armour House in August and it was the best choice we could have made. Everything was as perfect as it possibly could have been. Dean and his staff are unbelievable. Family Login:. Mrs Mary Bolhous Obituary. Mrs Mary Bolhous. Click on the item you would like to print.
