Reviewed On 12/07/2021 by Amanda P
Like most couples, my husband and I found ourselves in a predicament when COVID hit two months out from our original wedding date. Fast forward a year and half later and we couldn’t be happier that we postponed and moved our wedding celebration...
outdoors to Jen’s Guesthouse. Not only is the food incredible, the staff extremely attentive and great to work with (special shoutout to Alicia and Joe!) but the back patio is a hidden GEM in the Chicago suburbs. It’s been months and people are still commenting on what a beautiful setting it was and how much fun they had. Thank you Jen’s Guesthouse for such an incredible evening—it’s truly a night we will never forget.

If I could give Jen’s Guesthouse 10 stars I would! My husband and I had our wedding here and it was beyond amazing. The service was OUTSTANDING, the food was nothing but great, and my wedding guests loved the atmosphere of Jen’s. The owner and ...
staff are simply great people. Everyone treated my husband and I like family. I recommend anyone who is interested in dining here or having an event to please do so, you will be very pleased. Great job, Jen’s, you’re doing it ALL 100% the right way.

We recently had our March 17 wedding at Jen’s from start to finish, planning process to the event execution, they were a class act! Food is amazing, service is great, and they really make your vision come to life! We had to down size and change...
venues due to COVID, and they always went above and beyond to make each party feel special and make us feel like VIP. I cannot wait to get our photos back to share in the moment with them. Jens guesthouse will always hold a special place in mine and my families heart and we are excited to host many other events there in the future! We love, Dee, Martha, Mike, and Jen!!!
