I am a wedding photographer based in Chicago and I have had the pleasure of photographing two weddings here at The Armour House so far. It is probably my favorite venue around! From the detail in the architecture to the gorgeous grounds, this is such a photogenic venue. The staff is also so kind and helpful and the food is amazing! I have added some photos from my last wedding there for reference. - Samuel | The Gernands Photography
My favorite venue in the area to take photos at! The coordinators are so helpful throughout the day. The grounds are beautiful and it really looks like a little piece of Italy in lake county.
My daughters wedding here on December 9, 2023 was perfection. The ambiance and sheer beauty of the mansion was the backdrop for her spectacular wedding. The on staff chef provided guests with top notch endless passed appetizers. Guests raved about the food throughout the evening. Service was impeccable.
Thank you Armour House.
My wife and I just had our wedding here and it was a dream. The venue is absolutely stunning inside and out. The catering is also fantastic, and made for a great day all around. Unfortunately, the staff did not match the quality of the venue. Gail was a difficult coordinator to work with, both before and during the day. She was quite unprofessional at times, bad mouthing her colleagues (who we were also working with) and also just ignoring requests that we made abundantly clear. For the amount of money you pay to have a wedding here, you really want to feel at ease and that your opinion is being prioritized, but she was a stressful presence on the wedding day and seemed most concerned about how she thought things should be done. With some different staff, we would have had the 5 star experience to match this 5 star venue.
I shot a wedding here yesterday and it was definitely one of the most interesting venues that I've ever been to. With architecture that would fit a Great Gatsby film you would think that it was somebody's private estate but this is actually a high school currently.
This venue,the food and the staff were phenomenal!!!
Exquisite wedding venue with plenty of room for many guests. The grounds are spacious and very well kept.
I cannot recommend this wedding venue enough! It’s gorgeous, the food is amazing, and the staff is SPECTACULAR! Alisa and Christine were helpful along the way, and my wedding turned out beautiful. I think this is the most perfect wedding venue!
The Armour House at Lake Forest Academy is where dream weddings happen! You and your guests will be impressed from the breathtaking grounds to the exquisite menu.
We had our daughter's wedding here in April and it couldn't have been more beautiful. All the guests were commenting on what a lovely venue it is. The food is fantastic and the staff (Christine & Alisa) were there managing the event from 8 am until midnight. We were very pleased with every aspect of this venue!
