Had our wedding here August 11th, 2018. First of all, ALLLLL the staff there is amazing. They made suggestions I wouldn’t have even thought of. It’s a unique place to get married. I highly, highly recommend using Ellis House for any event.
Had my wedding here in September, all i can say is think before you book. Tina is a joke doesnt help you at all, the other staff did more then she did, even when they were clocked out. they were amazing. Tina beyond rude and not a person to be around on your big day! beautiful place just wrong person running it.
We had our wedding (ceremony and reception) at this location this past July, and we absolutely loved it! The venue is a working equestrian center with a lovely house and a beautiful tent in the back. The grounds are very natural and simply beautiful. Perfect for pictures. Tina, the event coordinator, is wonderful to work with and the rest of the staff and volunteers were so friendly and helpful. Ellis House in owned and run by the forest preserve district, so the price is very reasonable, but you will have to do most of the set up/take down yourself. The nice thing about that is you get to make it your own. And they have staff and a few volunteers to assist if needed. If you have family willing and able to help, it's perfect! Tina is so flexible and always available to help guide you, suggest vendors, etc. Ellis House was the perfect wedding venue for us!
The grounds at the Ellis House are absolutely beautiful. We had our wedding in a tent in the backyard of this beautiful home. The staff was unbelievably easy to work with and helped make our night perfect.
