Stan Mansion

Absolutely phenomenal experience. From the ease of communication, the ability to be flexible and accommodative with requests, and just generally great people to work with, this team is top of the line. Stunning setting in a great location, most guests are still raving a week later. For a wedding larger than 100 people, you will be hard pressed to find a better venue to work with for the value. A+

Our special day/night was planned almost 2 years in advance, as Stan Mansion was a dream venue and they lived up to all of our expectations. The support and communication throughout the process, especially over the final month leading up to our wedding then exceeded our expectations. We are and will always feel so fortunate to have Stan Mansion as part of our marriage, not just the place where we held our wedding.

We booked Stan Mansion in March of 2023 for April of 2024. My husband and I had been engaged for 7 years, with no rush to set a date. We’ve lived in the Logan Square neighborhood for over 10 years and have known about Stan Mansion for quite some time. When it came time to start the wedding planning process, we knew that Stan Mansion would be one of our first stops on our list of venues. Turns out, it was the only stop we needed! Cera Stan personally gave us a tour of her beautiful home while citing all of its historical details as well as amenities. It was obvious that she was extremely passionate about hosting events and seeing the beauty that others can create in her space. When meeting other vendors throughout the planning process, all of them had nothing but the kindest things to say about Cera and her love for holding magnificent events. Overall, here are the reasons why we chose Stan Mansion to host our wedding: Bridal Suite - The bridal suite is extremely spacious with a full kitchen. I loved that my bridesmaids and I had a place to get ready on the big day, as well as a wonderful backdrop for photos. As someone who has a bit of anxiety and limited social battery, I really appreciated the security of knowing that there was somewhere I could go to be by myself if I needed a moment alone. Expansive multi-purpose spaces - We chose to hold our ceremony in the main ballroom, cocktail hour in the lower ballroom, and flipped the main ballroom in that time for our reception. While the space has character on its own, it truly can be anything you want it to be. Worth noting that the bar is in a separate space from the main ballroom so you do have to go a very short distance across the hall for a drink. We were a little worried about this being inconvenient but trust me when I say that it did not stop any of our guests. The hallway in between the ballroom and bar is the perfect space for a guestbook too since guests pass it so frequently. Vendor Recommendations - Cera sat down with us and went through all her recommended vendors one by one. She was very genuine in discussing what some vendors are/are not good at. We ended up choosing our caterer, lighting/drapery, florist, beauty team, and bridal shop from her recommendations and we truly could not be happier. The benefit of working with Sarah’s recommended vendors is that they know the space front and back. Many already had custom proposals for Stan Mansion and saved me from having to walk them through the entire space myself. Our wedding was a BLAST and nothing - literally nothing - went wrong. Even when I almost lit my dress on fire, one of the day-of coordinators jumped into action before I even knew my dress was caught over an open flame. I owe so much of our success to Cera and her team for their level of care, knowledge, and guidance. Thank you so much for being a major part of the best day of our lives!

Choosing a wedding venue can be extremely stressful. When I walked into the Stan Mansion for the first time, I knew this venue was different. This place is so magical. From their two stunning ballrooms, to the swanky Versaille lounge bar, to the huge on site bridal suite, Stan Mansion has everything you could ask for. Not only is the venue gorgeous, the staff here is something special. Aleya was our day of coordinator which is not even fair title. She helped us every step of the way and never hesitated to answer my emails. Aleya brought our vision to life and coordinated everything in order for my husband and I to have a relaxing and memorable day. This place is something from a fairytale and I would choose the Stan Mansion over and over again.

The staff, venue, location and service were 10/10. Aleya was with us every step of the way and made our day perfect and special. This is such a magical place I’ll cherish forever!

We discovered Stan Mansion through The Knot, and from our initial meeting with Cera Stan and her team, we knew it was the ideal venue for our wedding. During our first encounter, they graciously addressed all our initial questions, even providing a list of recommended vendors that proved invaluable in kickstarting our planning process. Thanks to their suggestions, we secured an exceptional caterer, DJ, and decorator, all of whom played a pivotal role in making our day everything we had envisioned. We also chose to work with one of Stan Mansion's onsite wedding coordinators, Aleya Huebner, a true collaborator and professional in every sense of the word. Throughout the months leading up to our wedding, Aleya met with us multiple times. Each meeting was marked by her thorough preparation, addressing all our questions and concerns, and leaving us with a clear list of action items to work on. Every time we left for the day, we felt more and more confident our wedding was going to be a success. We honestly don’t know what we would have done without Aleya! Easily the best perk of choosing Stan Mansion is that you receive full access to the entire building! This includes the downstairs ballroom which we used for our rehearsal and cocktail hour, the spacious multi-room bridal suite upstairs for the entire wedding party to get ready and relax, and the stunning grand ballroom and bar for our ceremony and reception. Having the entire space to ourselves created a safe and comfortable environment for our wedding party and guests to truly enjoy and celebrate. We will forever be grateful to Stan Mansion for helping us making our dreams come true. Many of our guests commented on the amazing experience of attending a wedding at Stan Mansion! Without hesitation, we wholeheartedly recommend working with Aleya, Cera, and the fantastic team at Stan Mansion for anyone seeking a truly magical venue for their wedding.

We were thrilled to get married at the Stan Mansion! The building has stunning architecture and decor, and the owner Cera and coordinator Aleya are an absolute delight to work with. We got married slightly in the off-season and pricing was fair and more competitive than other venues we were eyeing. There is so much possibility at the Stan Mansion between the Grand Ballroom, the Versailles Bar, and the downstairs ballroom, and Cera and team are so flexible in helping you arrange and organize your event in whatever way works best for you and your guests. The bridal suite is a great bonus - a fully furnished 2 bed 2 bath apartment where you can get ready comfortably in the morning just a few steps away. We are deeply grateful to Cera, Aleya, and the rest of the staff at Stan Mansion for all their help along the way, and for making this a truly special, memorable day. Aleya spent so much time with us talking through decorations, schedule, and other planning details and everything went off so smoothly. We could not have done it without you all!

SM was the first venue we toured. It is a very unique venue, a 1920's historic Chicago mansion and we knew it would have the unique charm we sought for our wedding day. We had our ceremony in the downstairs ballroom that was gorgeous with draping on the back wall, cocktail hour in the bar, and the reception in the ballroom. To fully accentuate the charm of the venue, I did feel like some "extras" were required like draping of the spaces however SM provided a list of vendors that we could use if desired and many had promotional discounts as well. Overall, the space was STUNNING and I'm so happy we booked with them for our wedding day!

Stan Mansion was an incredible venue! It was so unique compared to the many other common wedding venues, and there were beautiful spaces all over the mansion to use for our wedding! Also they offer a massive 2 bedroom apartment upstairs as a bridal suite on site that was incredible. We also used their in house coordinator Aleya to run our wedding and she was an absolute rockstar! She was so sweet and did such a great job helping us plan everything; and then on our wedding day she handled everything like a pro! You are in great hands with her and the venue's other recommended vendors! We can't express enough how thrilled we were with our experience, it was truly the wedding of our dreams!

A wonderful team of talented and friendly professionals - Cera Stan and our wedding coordinator Aleya go above and beyond to make sure your wedding vision comes to life. My husband and I could not be happier with the experience we had at Stan Mansion for our special day. The planning meetings were so detailed and informative, and Aleya truly made the day of seem like a breeze. The venue comes highly recommended!

The best wedding venue in Chicago! Stunning architecture and gorgeous foliage, kind and knowledgeable staff, and plenty of space for those looking for a larger wedding or event! The owner, Cera, is the queen of weddings! There is a reason Stan Mansion has so many awards, Cera knows everything about weddings and is always willing to share what she knows to her brides and grooms! Our day of coordinator, Aleya, was absolutely amazing! She was attentive, organized, and creative - even making sure things happened that I forgot I wanted! She kept us at ease throughout the whole process, making sure everything was perfectly in place. Her and Reagan made sure our wedding was decorated perfectly (all I did was drop off a bunch of random decor and they made it stunning) and all little things were accounted for. We couldn’t have had such an amazing wedding without the help of Stan Mansion’s extraordinary staff!

We first visited Stan Mansion on a date to one of those Candlelight Concerts. I couldn't believe this amazing venue was tucked in Logan Square. The building is gorgeous. Like, so beautiful. I knew I wanted to get married there. The centerpiece of our whole experience was Cera. We walked in and instantly became fast friends. Cera is funny and brilliant. A true expert in her field. Cera and her dream team created the most romantic, intimate setting for our wedding. Our guests raved about everything. It was a literal dream. You won't regret booking this venue!

We used Stan Mansion as our venue for our NYE wedding and it was incredible. I fell in love with Stan Mansion when we first visited it. t is truly beautiful and such a unique venue. All of our wedding guests were blown away by it. We had our ceremony in the downstairs ballroom and our reception upstairs. The owner Cera is really great and helpful and always has recommendation for other vendors that she likes to work with. We worked with their in house day of coordinator, Kathy, and she was the best part of my wedding planning. She was with me every step of the way and really helped make my wedding so special. I recommend booking Stan Mansion for a truly unique and special wedding.

Stan Mansion and its staff was truly out of this world for our November wedding! From the minute we started working with the team, we knew we selected the right venue. Cera is so gracious and truly could not have done it without Kathy!!! This venue is so unique and beautiful - we received so many compliments after the wedding. Love love love!

My now Husband and I married at the StanMansion July 18, 2021. Cera is an amazing owner and have a wonderful vision for her venue and her clients. Cera and her staff were very professional, responsive and attentive to our needs and wants. We utilized a few of the vendors they recommended and they were amazing. I would definitely recommend StanMansion for weddings and other events.

Stan Mansion is a beautiful venue in Chicago's Logan Square with a talented and attentive staff. Cera Stan was a huge asset as we planned our wedding, including a very helpful list of suggested vendors. Her staff, Aleya especially, were so valuable on the day of the wedding and did a wonderful job with the room flip for our ceremony and reception. Stan Mansion was an incredible value as well-- the getting ready suite, beautiful decor and ability to hire your own liquor vendor helped us save money in a few ways and still have a beautiful wedding. Highly recommend!

Stan Mansion was an amazing venue for many reasons! Not only was it perfectly beautiful and needed minimal decorations to make it perfect. Cera and Aleya were amazing to work with, so I highly recommend going with the day-of-planner when booking Stan Mansion. It is worth it for the ease of planning up to the day of and then on the day, no stress all the way up until the end of the night. The venue is perfect for ceremony and reception combo venue as well, and everything ran so seamless for our ceremony then cocktail hour and then reception all in the same venue. Pure perfection of a venue and staff that work there! Highly, highly recommend this venue for your wedding!

What an incredible space for our day! Cera and her coordinators were incredibly accommodating and communicative leading up to our big day! Her list of vendors was extremely useful in that we used most of their recs & everything truly went so smooth! The bridal suite was such a spacious and beautiful space to prep for our ceremony. The bar area was so spectacular and perfect for cocktail hour - so many guests love taking photos in front of the gorgeous fireplace. Because this space has so much detail and historical charm, outside decor was minimal which made it so much easier for us. What an incredible venue, it was truly a dream!!

Truly a beautiful venue in the heart of Logan Square, that is an amazing hidden gem. There were a few details in the planning process that were confusing at first but Aleya and Cera walked us through the process and were great to work with. Would highly recommend Stan Mansion for a wedding. My husband, family, and I had the best time!

If you’re wondering where you should have your wedding look no further! Cera, Kathy, and the entirety of the staff were all so so wonderful- our vendors even made note to tell us the Stan had the nicest staff around! Our wedding was everything we dreamed of and super spacious for ~150 guest, we had a band on stage and literally danced all night! Everyone was so in love with the venue, especially the giant bridal suite. It made getting ready so easy, we arrived at 9am and left at midnight and loved every second! Logan Square is also such an important neighborhood to us and getting to share that with our guest made everything even better. Can’t wait to be back for a candlelight show so we can remanence 💕

It was a DREAM to get married at the Stan Mansion. We were originally scheduled to get married July 2020 but has reschedule…multiple times. Cera, Kathy, and the Stan Mansion team were so supportive during the whole process of delays due to the pandemic. When the big day finally came, Cera was genuinely excited for us Special shout out to Kathy who was a total BOSS of a day-of coordinator. She checked in on our nerves, kept us on schedule, and coordinated the decorations perfectly. The Stan Mansion is a beauitful venue for your wedding ceremony and reception. I cannot recommend it enough. We were also lucky enough to get the bridal suite the night before and I got to have a sleepover when my mom, sister, and niece. Regardless, it’s also a great staging area to get ready with your bridal party.

Stan Mansion was the absolutely perfect venue for our wedding! We received so many compliments on the venue from our guests as well. It worked perfectly for our smaller (~100 people) wedding, but could easily have worked just as well for larger groups too. The whole process was really straightforward too from seeing the venue, booking it, and then the month ahead planning. Cera, Kathy, and Aleya were all very easy to work with and would answer questions I had via email promptly. The venue looked stunning on our wedding day and it shows in our wedding pictures too! We loved being able to have our ceremony and reception activities in different spaces within the venue as well. Everyone loved the bar off of the reception too and many stayed in there for a lot of the night. We would highly recommend choosing Stan for your wedding venue, you won't regret it. Thank you so much to Stan Mansion for the perfect wedding!

What a wonderful time we had at Stan Mansion for our big day. Our guests were raving about what a great backdrop it provided both for photos and our celebration in general. The building has a lot of character on its own, but can also be a blank canvas for whatever you want your decor to be! Slight drawback would be the lack of ramps or an inclined surface for guests with ADA needs, but is understandable given the historic nature of the building. Everyone from Cera to Kathy and Aleyah on the day of was easy to work with and flexible regarding a payment date we had to change. We're looking forward to going back for our next event and/or candlelit concert. Also looking forward to seeing our pictures with the wonderful backdrop that we had. -M&J

I can't say enough amazing things about Stan Mansion for a wedding venue. First of all - the venue itself is absolutely gorgeous, and its wonderful to be able to have the entire mansion at your disposal. The bridal suite is great for getting ready too! Most importantly, Kathy and Cera are amazing to work with. They're helpful, kind, excited for you, and they could not have made the day go by any smoother. I can truly say we had a perfect wedding, and we couldn't have done it without Stan. Thank you for everything!

The Stan Mansion was such a WONDERFUL place to have our wedding. The venue is beautiful. It’s not in perfect condition because it’s hard with historic landmark status to do modernization projects, but we absolutely loved the vibe and feel throughout the building. In that regard, there are no elevators and that can be a hassle for some guests if they are severely limited in their movement. Cera is always fixing/adding things and making it even better. Between when we booked and when we had our wedding, new chandeliers were installed on dimmer switches in the main ballroom and they looked beautiful. We used the downstairs ballroom for our ceremony and had an outside company do some drapery down there, but Stan has a basic drapery setup installed and it’s not completely necessary if you don’t want to. It was a perfect size for the ceremony. We used the bar on the 2nd floor for happy hour, it is probably our favorite room in the entire venue and the pictures we took there turned out spectacular. The main ballroom is gorgeous with soaring ceilings and a beautiful stage. On-site they have a coat check, bridal suite (spacious and very updated 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment), lots of potential decor items, and a wonderful staff. There is a parking lot they can rent for you a couple blocks away, which is hard to find in the city if you’re not at a big hotel. We got married this past December and the exterior of the venue was decorated beautifully with holiday touches. The decor looked AMAZING in all of our pictures! And it’s all situated on a beautiful boulevard in Logan, it doesn’t get more picture-perfect than the Stan Mansion. Cera (owner) and Kathy (day-of coordinator) were both excellent and always on top of everything. A few very minor things went wrong the day of, and between the two of them they were immediately remedied. Cera clearly loves her property dearly, she’s the perfect person to own a beautiful vintage event space. Kathy was always good about getting back to us in a timely manner and helped organize the day flawlessly. On the day of the wedding, I was expecting to have to help make sure a lot of different things happened, but Kathy was constantly on top of it and any time I tried to ensure a task was completed, she had already done it. I was extremely nervous on our wedding day for things to run smoothly and with Kathy taking care of things that anxiety went away and I was able to focus on enjoying our day to the fullest. Kathy took care of every small detail, including making sure my dress looked picture perfect for my walk down the aisle. We couldn’t have asked for a better coordinator to keep everything running smoothly. Our wedding day was beautiful in large part because of the Stan Mansion and their staff. We really appreciate all of the work that went into making the day go off without a hitch :)

Right as soon as we hired our wedding planner and started talking about our vision for our wedding, Stan Mansion was the very first place that we were recommended to host our wedding. The second we entered the lobby, we knew this is where we wanted to have our wedding reception. We wanted a venue that was unique and would leave our guests speechless, and we got everything we wanted at Stan Mansion. We really enjoyed that we could bring in all of our own vendors! We ended up choosing vendors that they recommended, which we loved, since all of our vendors knew the venue so well, everything ran smoothly. We also loved the fact that we had the whole place to ourselves and weren't sharing it with another reception. Cera was great to work with and we loved that she came over to celebrate with us! We had the best wedding and would recommend the Stan Mansion to everyone!

We searched far and wide in the city of Chicago for a wedding venue that was unique and affordable for our event. The moment we walked into Stan Mansion, we knew we wanted to book it. We felt we had seen numerous venues around the city that were essentially copies of themselves over and over again. They were nice, but there was nothing memorable or special about them. They all seemed very similar and forgettable. Stan Mansion was anything but. The location, curb appeal, and Gatsby-esque aesthetic are all extremely unique and exactly what we were looking for. After the booking, the team at Stan Mansion was extremely approachable, professional, and responsive - even when the pandemic delayed our event by over a year. The team at Stan helped us reschedule the event, helped coordinate with our vendors, and made sure we did not feel forgotten about. Oh - and they recommended us Ovy Catering, who did an incredible job. Between the unique aesthetics of the venue, professionalism, and wedding industry connections, we cannot recommend Stan Mansion more for your event. Multiple guests told us they will never forget our wedding and the venue played a huge part in that. Thank you Stan Mansion.

We had our wedding here in June 2021 & it is such a beautiful & historical venue! Tons of space for all of your guests and so much versatility with what you can do here. We would recommend having any event hosted at Stan Mansion.

Stan Mansion was the absolute dream venue for us to have our perfect wedding. From working with Cera and Kathy (who are the best hypewomen ever :D) to them assisting us with finding the right vendors, Stan will forever hold a special place in our hearts!!! From the grand ballroom having the perfect acoustics for our wedding singers to the amazing giant bridal suite, Stan really has it all. Highly recommend this beautiful venue to anyone!!!

We just got married at Stan Mansion in October. Cera is wonderful and her day of coordinator, Kathy, made everything run perfectly. We could not have been happier, the venue was beautiful, functional, spacious, and truly one of a kind. We feel incredibly lucky to have celebrated our special day at Stan Mansion!

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at the Stan Mansion, and it was absolutely perfect. I love the historic and beautiful architecture on the outside, and the grand, elegant and vintage rooms on the inside. The staff are incredibly helpful, and our day went so smoothly. They are experienced with weddings, and made our dream day come true.

What can we say, everything about the Stan Mansion was perfect! All of our guests commented on how cool and elegant the space was. Kathy was a dream leading up to the day with managing vendors and setting everything up day-of so we didn’t have to worry about a single thing! She paid attention to every detail, such as a wobbly cake stand I provided, and she switched out so there wouldn’t be a huge cake mess! The venue was also incredibly accommodating as we navigated wedding planning. Our original date was March 2020, and we were the first wedding of theirs to be canceled. They helped navigate the changing schedules with vendors and the process was pretty simple considering things! Highly recommend, and the price is RIGHT in comparison to many venues in Chicago.

When my wife and I were looking at different venues, we did so by different tiers based on the pricing. We stopped by other venues before going to Stan Mansion, and while adequate for our needs, were missing that special something. None of them quite jumped out as us as the one we envisioned, and we almost gave up on the idea that any venue would live up to the vision we had; that is, until we went to Stan Mansion. Located in Logan Square, this venue is tucked away and is unassuming at first. You can walk past it and will never imagine it is a venue. However, right as you enter the main doors of the mansion, you are welcomed into a gorgeous, sophisticated, and beautiful space. We got a chance to tour the entire mansion, and each room, from the main ballroom to the bridal sweet to the bar area, was like something straight out of our imagination. We knew we absolutely needed to go with this location as our wedding venue just for the sheer elegance and vibrance of the place, but on top of that, we were provided great wisdom by the lovely Cera Stan along with the in-house wedding coordinator, Kathy, we included. Both of them did a absolutely fantastic job guiding us throughout the process, and also offered excellent recommendations for other vendors, a few of which we ended up going with and were not disappointed by either! The day of the event, because of the ample space of the ballroom and downstairs floor where we had cocktail hour, all of our guests were able to spread out if they wanted to, or get together with other friends and family they hadn't seen in a while. The table layout worked perfectly for our guest count, as it did not have the feeling of being crowded, and this is including areas for a photo booth, churro bar, and designated dance floor! Needless to say, the place can host even larger events with more people if needed. Overall, we fell in love with the venue and people at Stan Mansion right from the beginning, and we would not hesitate in the least to recommend this place to anyone that has the budget for it (even if you need to squeeze out some extra cash to do it, it's worth it).

Our experience performing at Stan Mansion was phenomenal. We can't wait to perform there again! Not just for the beautiful space and acoustic, but for another chance to connect with Cera Stan. The location is superb, parking is easy, and it is close to some of the most reliable public transportation in the city. The grand ballroom is large and unique and the whole mansion has more than one large gathering space. There are restrooms on every floor and there's a gorgeous view of trees from bar. Delightful historical details abound and dimmable chandeliers and sconces and other special light features enhance the magic of the space. The acoustic is phenomenal for live music. This space works well for any size crowd. Cera Stan is generous, engaged, delightful, communicative, and creative. Thank you, Stan Mansion, and thank you, Cera, for a fabulous experience!!

Our wedding, rescheduled 3 times due to the pandemic, was everything we hoped thanks to Cera, Kathy and the whole team at Stan Mansion. It is such a beautiful venue with multiple rooms to hold your ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. They were so flexible to work with and really help you make your wedding day special and unique to you. We highly recommend adding the day-of planner if you choose Stan Mansion as your venue. Kathy provided way more than just “day-of” support! She coordinated with all of our vendors for months leading up to our wedding day and we didn’t have to think about a single detail on the day. The bridal suite is also worth every penny to add on to your day. We had hair and makeup for 11 done in the bridal suite, which provided a great place for photos and a relaxed day getting ready. It was also a great place during our reception for kids to escape with the babysitter when they needed a break from the party. This place is fantastic!

I am forever grateful to the Stan Mansion venue for serving as the backdrop for the most amazing day of my life, and especially thankful to Cera, Kathy, and the entire Stan Mansion team for truly going ABOVE AND BEYOND to make my wedding dreams come true! This venue really is unlike any other. Our guests and friends online have nothing but 'ooohs' and 'aaahs' to say about the gorgeous, dazzling MAGNIFICENCE that IS the STAN MANSION! Beyond the sheer, stunning beauty of this historic venue, I owe all of my thanks and high praise to the LEGENDARY Cera Stan and her team, who *literally* rolled out the red carpet for us. My husband and I had just signed our agreement - then COVID hit. What was supposed to be our planning for a 175 person wedding was out the window, and I had a MILLION questions as I scrambled to make sense of the situation (like everyone else). Cera, Kathy, and the team were extremely patient with me, answered all of my questions with a kind professionalism, and really helped us think through our best options. We ultimately postponed our date and they did not 'penalize' us in any way like some other venues/vendors do, which was SO appreciated. When it was safe to do so, we hosted our wedding with 50 guests (with a livestream), and it was absolutely beautiful. We even recieved some money back to account the lower difference in headcount which was EXTRA appreciated! THAT is customer serivce of the highest caliber. I honestly have nothing bad to say about the Stan Mansion. I used the preferred vendors and they were all fabulous. The bridal suite was amazing and made my day so awesome to be able to have all of my bridesmaids there getting ready. All of the various rooms made for great photo backdrops for variation in my bridal photos. Kathy was excellent in helping with day-of coordination, and I am extremely glad I went with her (originally I thought I could do it all myself - LOL!!) I am sad to even end this review because that means my experience at the Stan Mansion is officially over. But, just as I started, I am forever grateful to the *legendary* Cera Stan, her amazing team, and the venue that was there for me on the most important day of my life. Thank you!

Stan Mansion is an incredible place to have your wedding. Iren was extremely helpful ensuring our wedding ran smoothly. The venue is beautiful and provided us a night we will never forget.

Stan Mansion is absolutely beautiful, but what truly makes it special is the team. They were so cooperative, understanding, and adaptable as our wedding plans seemed to constantly change over and over again during this COVID pandemic season. They truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day everything we envisioned it to be.

I found this venue on the Knot!! It is gorgeous and Cera is the best. Her staff is sooo sweet and they check in to make sure everything is going well. Please use their vendor list. You will not be disappointed!! So for the venue itself I was in love. There are multiple levels that you can use. We used every floor. Downstairs for cocktail and wedding ceremonies. Yes ceremonies we had 2!! Then the 2nd floor for cocktail and reception. It looks so amazing with decorations and lights. The bridal suite is to die for. Its so clean and really felt like we were at home. Please book this venue. They really care about you and your event. If I ever need another venue for an event in Chicago, I'm booking Stan Mansion!

Covid fairytale wedding. Every detail was taken care of (classical live music straight from Chicago Symphony Orchestra, talented photographer that guided us through the picture "dancing") and we loved every second of our special day under the current restrictions. Yes, fewer guests but, amazing reception, amazing & beautiful location and everything we wished was clicked on our list. Every guest agreed that the setting was beautiful and your supreme organisational skills took the stress out of everything! All best wishes + Love from Ray&Bogdan

Stan Mansion is by far one of my favorite venues for weddings. The great architecture makes this mansion unique from most banquet halls and it's got amazing character. The staff who work there are just as great and always make sure that their clients come first by providing excellent service all throughout the wedding/event. As a photographer l love shooting there because of the amount of great indoor spots that come out beautifully in photos. I would gladly recommend this venue to any of my clients and friends. It's always a pleasure being there.

Stan Mansion has been always a place we love to work at. Cera and all the staff members are very helpful before and during the events. We have photographed several weddings at Stan Mansion and right after the event the couples always mention how incredible was to work with the staff and how great the felt by celebrating their event there. We as vendors feel the same and know we can count on them from beginning to end with the only purpose of bringing to life what the clients wants.

Best Historical Venue in Chicago! The mansion is about 100 years old and has been preserved as a historical landmark and it looks beautiful. My band performed for an event here on January 19, 2020 in the ballroom on the second floor and the acoustics were great! It's great to know that such beautiful mansions exist and they were preserved in the original. We had a great experience with the staff here, Cera & Irene were super helpful and responsive. We had a great show, hopefully we'll come back for more!

Stan Mansion was the absolute perfect venue for our wedding. It was beautiful in every way, and the people were so easy and accommodating throughout the planning process. Every single step of the process from the initial meeting, to the booking, to the vendor selection, to the day of the wedding - it was all unbelievably easy, stress-free, and fit exactly with the vision we had for our big day. They provided a list of "suggested vendors", and we pretty much booked solely vendors from the list. All of these vendors knew the venue extremely well, making the process extremely smooth. We worked with Irene from Stan Mansion from day 1, and ended up booking her as our day-of wedding coordinator. She was unbelievably helpful during the entire planning process, and made the day of the wedding go as smoothly as possible. Any little issues that popped up, she would take care of immediately. We did both the ceremony and reception in the upstairs room (with cocktail hour in between) and it was perfect - no hassle in changing over the room between the 2 parts. We also chose to also book the bridal suite for the night before the wedding, which we would highly recommend - it is amazing, and so unbelievably convenient to have the space before/during the wedding.

We had our ceremony at a church in Logan Square and the reception at Stan Mansion, it was AMAZING. They were so accommodating with our large, somewhat rowdy crowd. My bridesmaids and I used the bridal suite to get ready and it was awesome, great pictures and so much space. Our day of coordinator was Irene and she was incredible. I cannot imagine the day without her. She was so helpful with keeping everything running smoothly and keeping me calm and relaxed. She was so wonderful to work with from day one and throughout the entire process. We are so happy we chose Stan Mansion for our big day!

If Stan Mansion is on your radar, do not hesitate - book your gathering with them! Not only is the venue inherently beautiful with its ornate decor and vibrant warm color scheme, but the outside of the building is perfection when it comes to bridal party photos. My husband and I did our first look right outside in the courtyard and the late afternoon lighting was simply gorgeous! As far as room accommodations, we utilized the downstairs ballroom for our ceremony, bar for cocktail hour and upstairs ballroom for our reception. The compliments flowing in from our guests were innumerable - each room is unique but all are equally breathtaking in intimacy, yet grandeur.  Only other thing to mention is that we worked with the venue manager Irene. She was incredibly helpful, readily available, very accommodating and highly responsive to any and all of our questions and concerns. She worked very well with our personal day-of-coordinator and added to our stress-free magical wedding day. Irene truly adds to the wonderful experience you will have with Stan Mansion!

I simply LOVE when I have the opportunity to direct a wedding at Stan Mansion. This venue is simply gorgeous and the staff is amazing! Over the last few years I have been able to work with Irene and she goes 100% and beyond for the client. She is extremely knowledgeable about the venue and is so very helpful on wedding day! I appreciate you Irene and the entire Stan Mansion team for welcoming me and the DE Team into your family. Couples if you are looking for historic venue with a lot of character and an amazing staff, then look no further. You have all that at Stan Mansion!!! xo

Stan Mansion captured everything we wanted to experience for our wedding. Their suggestions and recommendations complimented our budget and our vision. The venue has so many options for both reception and ceremony. It’s a historic gem in the heart of one Chicago’s best neighborhoods. Our guests loved our wedding too and I can honestly say it was one of the best weddings i’ve ever attended. Highly recommend!!!
