e family, the food is unbelievable and totally customizable because it’s all made in house! (we are still getting texts and calls about the steak/lamb chops!), they know and work with every other vendor in the area so there’s no need to worry about the vendors working well together or the flow of your night…they’ve worked with them before!, they are attached to a hotel , & they basically come with a built in day of coordinator- Cheryl exceeded our expectations on our wedding day and was so helpful the months leading up! During cocktail hour, she pulled us into the reception hall and had champagne/appetizers put aside for us and gave us a moment to enjoy the room and each other before hopping back in to the craziness- this was truly one of our favorite parts of the day and may possibly have been the only time we were alone, it was so special! BOOK THIS VENUE!

nt and located in a prime location. We fell in love with it immediately, so much so that we reluctantly booked a Friday wedding due to there being no Saturdays available. The food is fantastic (all our guests raved about it), the service is top-notch, and the overall vibe of the venue is very luxe. Our wedding was heavily impacted by Covid (we lost our ceremony venue, officiant and wedding band) and Cheryl was always there willing to help in anyway she could. She went above and beyond in trying to help us find a different ceremony location even working with the restaurant next door to try to secure their outdoor space as an option. In the end we chose to also have our ceremony at Elements and I'm so glad we did as it truly made the day so much easier. Elements and Cheryl were so accommodating throughout the entire process of planning a wedding during Covid and all the constantly changing restrictions imposed by the state. They were flexible with whatever we wanted to do, whether it was to reschedule or push forward and they did not hold us to our original contract minimum. All of our guests felt comfortable and were able to enjoy themselves even during a pandemic. They truly went above and beyond to make sure that we still had our dream wedding despite what was going on. I am so grateful to Cheryl and the entire Elements staff in making our special day run so seamlessly and giving us an absolutely perfect wedding. Do not hesitate to book your event with them, you will not regret it!!! 10 stars!

ments did everything possible to ensure that we had a beautiful, intimate, and safe wedding reception. They allowed us autonomy in deciding what was best for our event and did not hold us to the minimum even though we had a smaller and therefore less expensive reception. I believe that the true character of a vendor is shown when times are hard and things are not going well. Elements maintained their commitment to the satisfaction of the customer even when it went against their personal business interests. I give the owner and wedding coordinator, Cheryl, tremendous credit for dealing with countless stressed and panicking brides all wedding season long while being positive, supportive, and understanding. In the end, we had an amazingly perfect wedding because of them. I am forever grateful. If they can make our wedding incredible during a global pandemic, they can make your wedding outstanding during regular times. Congratulations and check out Elements soon!

It was a really easy process to make the entree, app, cake, and decor choices for the wedding. There was an issue with the passing out of apps because the servers kept coming out at the same spot and therefore giving apps to the same group of people. The people in the back never received the apps because of this. However, overall was an amazing experience. Our guests had a great time and said it was amazing how convenient it was having the hotel right there and so many shops/restaurants/bars near by.

Our wedding reception was amazing and I could not have done it without Elements at Water Street and Cheryl Cady. I changed the date of my wedding so that we could have the reception at Elements. I had visited a couple other places before going ...
to Elements, and everything left me feeling “Eh,” but once I went to Elements, I told my fiancé we HAVE to have it there. It was elegant, sophisticated, had a “downtown feel,” and the venue has it all. They have bartenders, servers, tables and chairs, silverware and plates, table linens, and the most amazing food, and it all comes with the package- I did not have to hire out or search for those types of vendors. The only thing to keep in mind is that the room holds at most 230 guests, so you have to take that into account when creating your guest list. Cheryl was great to work with. She is approachable and over the course of 1.5 years, I asked her many questions that she happily and readily answered. Even when I would email on a Sunday night, she would get back to me. We ended up using a lot of her “preferred” vendors, and they definitely did not disappoint! They came recommended by Cheryl, and I liked that because then I knew the vendors knew how things worked at Elements, which would hopefully prevent any problems. And I was right because all my vendors worked well together and the reception was perfect. I already told my husband that one day I hope to have a baby shower there- LOL! We are so glad we had our reception at Elements. Also, I live super close to the venue so we would occasionally show up and examine the layout etc, and they were totally cool with it! Overall, we felt very welcome and our guests did as well.

ple that really accommodated the guests. Things ran as smoothly as possible. No lines or bars, I noticed all of the tables got food in an exceptionally timely manner, spills (eek!) were cleaned up immediately. Rich really took care of the head tables and our families. and that felt really special. One of the staff members, Gina, let me and my sister peek in the ballroom the morning of the wedding. A lovely server came up to me during the wedding and gave me two pieces of cake because I never left the dance floor and completely missed eating it. Molly was so wonderful at the end of the night making sure I got all of my things. She even packed an extra entree for me when she thought I didn't eat. The personal touch (at every level) for such a big event did not go unnoticed. And then there is Cheryl Cady. Cheryl went above and beyond in every aspect of my wedding planning experience with Elements. I just moved to Naperville, so didn't have any vendor contacts. Cheryl provided so many (amazing) vendor recommendations. She helped with design and aesthetics and just provided guidance and support along the way. She has so much confidence in what she does and her team does, it really made me feel completely comfortable and stress free leading up to the wedding. She is also fabulous and fun and it was a real pleasure working with her. Beyond the staff and service, the location is perfect - most of our out of town guests stayed at Hotel Indigo and got to explore downtown Naperville. The décor is original and stunning. The food was outstanding and the food display was so high-end. We couldn't have had a better experience at Elements.

The other staff at Elements are also wonderful and made our wedding such an easy and memorable day. We have had numerous compliments from our guests about how good the food was, how beautiful the venue was, and overall, what a great time they had. We also loved that Cheryl added a special touch and gave us some alone time when we first arrived to the venue, where we could sit in the reception hall as a newly married couple, enjoy a drink and some appetizers, and get re-energized for the party that followed. Further, the fact that Elements is attached to Hotel Indigo, where our guests stayed, and is also in the heart of downtown Naperville really made it a perfect selection for hosting the biggest party of our lives. Can’t recommend Elements enough!

. Throughout our year and a half engagement, we were in frequent contact with Cheryl and were kept briefed on what needed to take place when. A few things that really stood out about the space itself where the tables and chairs, the ceiling in the ballroom, and the decor of the cocktail hour room. You truly didn't need to overdo the decorations, as the space is well appointed as-is. The hallway leading to the cocktail room gets floral arrangements in regularly, so we didn't have to schlep a lot of stuff in to spruce it up. The apps and dinner all turned out great, and chef Zac was accommodating to the children in our family who had food allergies (and trust me, there were a LOT). The ballroom was set up as we wanted it, and we were taken in early to have some apps and a drink in silence. I wish I remember our banquet manager's name that evening, she was FANTASTIC and made sure we had drinks and food, got us up to our room with our gifts, etc.

As for the Elements staff, they were beyond to happy to host our big day. I cannot stress how many compliments on the friendliness and attentive of the staff we received. We even had a hiccup when our limo broke down that caused a big shift in our timeline and they completely adjusted. On-top of all this, the chef and food was phenomenal. My husband and I are foodies so trendy, bold, delicious food was on the top of our list -- Elements hit it out of the ball park. The space itself is so beautiful with a wooden weave ceiling, windows overlooking the riverwalk, fine dining with modern finishes, and a grand corner bar.

Elements was the perfect venue for our winter wedding! The bartenders and kitchen staff were very friendly and respectful (Rich especially). Cheryl is very great to work with, she accommodated all of our special requests and was very helpful d...

Eric & I were some of the first people to book the venue back in May of 2016. We are SO incredibly happy we took a chance booking before they broke ground because it was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. We worked closely with Cheryl throughout our 18 month ...
engagement and she was so dedicated to making our day everything I had dreamed of & more. Even though the weather was FULL of storms, Cheryl took my mind off of it.. she welcomed us into the reception room to see it before anyone else, as we sat to eat and drink in privacy before the party started. The pictures of us in the venue space are some of my favorites from the day. From the excellent service, to the DELICIOUS food & gorgeous decor... it is worth every single penny! A month later & we're still stuck on how amazing & seamless it was. THANK YOU, ELEMENTS STAFF!!

We hosted our wedding reception at Elements at Water Street on 5/20/17 and it was an absolute DREAM! Our guests loved the location, and we got so many complements on how unique and gorgeous the event space was. Cheryl Cady was such a pleasure t...
o work with! She is so professional, helpful, responsive, and genuinely cares about making sure everything goes as planned for your big day. We had a large wedding party (21 BM/GM) and were able to get ready in the pre-function space outside of the ballroom- it was so helpful and a great space for my bridesmaids and I to get ready. The hotel rooms are on the small side so be sure to book the pre function space for getting ready the morning of or you will be super cramped, even in a suite. The food was unbelievable, and our guests loved the late night snack -Lou Malnati's Pizza and the drinks were strong and the bartenders were quick! Honestly it was such a perfect day and I am so thankful for the whole Elements team- you will love working with them!! They know what they're doing and will make your day unforgettable!!

We just had our wedding at Elements this past weekend, and the reception space and staff are exceptional! Cheryl goes above and beyond to assist with all of the planning and preparation, and Molly was also a great help the night of. The food ...
is fantastic, and all of our guests seemed to have a fun time and enjoy everything! I highly recommend Elements. *Note that Elements is a separate entity from the Hotel Indigo and these spaces are owned and operated separately. We unfortunately encountered some very frustrating problems with our stay as the bride and groom at the hotel and were not given the rooms and upgrades we booked and were promised which, long story short, impacted our plans for getting ready in our rooms with the bridesmaids/groomsmen and taking photographs together the morning of the wedding. You won't be let down by Elements, but I can't say the same for the Hotel Indigo, so just make sure to keep in mind that they are separate spaces and know that you can count on Cheryl and Elements, but stay on top of the staff at the hotel if you use them for your block!

sure our special day went smoothly. The venue is beautiful; very tastefully and modernly decorated. The view looking over the riverwalk makes the venue unlike any others. The food was absolutely amazing... we had filet and salmon and the taco bar for the midnight snack. It was also extremely convenient for our guests that the Hotel Indigo was attached. Our guests didn't have to worry about catching a shuttle or driving after the reception, they were able to just walk to their rooms. Again, I cannot say enough about Elements. I highly recommend!! We could not have asked for a better experience or venue for our special day! We got married two weeks ago and I am still getting texts from our guests raving about the wedding!

WOW, Elements was outstanding for our wedding day! The location was perfect for our many out-of-town guests; no one had to drive all weekend. Our guests raved about the food (filet and roulade of chicken) and bar. Cheryl was amazing to work wit...
