Beautiful venue & amazing coordinator

The Stern Center is one of the most gorgeous venues in the area. It has separate get ready suites downstairs for the bridal party, and upstairs mezzanine for cocktail hour. Not only was it the perfect venue for our dream wedding, Kerri was so amazing to work with. From start to finish, and everything in between, Kerri was so helpful to make sure everything ran smoothly. With the pandemic she was so involved and answered all our questions & concerns. Thank you so much!

accommodating & client focused!

Kerri with The Stern Center was absolutely fabulous to work with. She and the rest of The Stern Center team were so flexible and accommodating and did everything in their power to make our wedding day everything we dreamed it would be. Kerri was on top of everything and extremely communicative throughout the process. When the pandemic hit and IL shut down a month before my wedding, Kerri immediately started working on solutions to make sure I could still have my wedding day even if it wasn’t going to be at The Stern Center. Then when we opted to reschedule into 2021 altogether she was amazing at coordinating availability to match with all our other vendors. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience especially while planning through the pandemic. The day came together perfectly and Kerri had a large hand in that. We’ll forever be grateful to the team that made our wedding day the most perfect day ever. If you’re on the hunt for a venue for your next event, look no further!! The Stern Center will not disappoint!

Reasonable prices and beautiful venue!

My fiance and I booked the Stern Center for our October 2020 wedding - the price is very reasonable for how beautiful the venue is. Riley is so helpful and responded quickly to any emails and questions we had! We can't wait to see how beautiful our wedding turns out!
