Reception Cantigny

I am having my wedding reception at Cantigny Golf Coarse in the Red Oak Room, and I was curious if anyone has heard or had their weddings there, and how was it??

    I've heard nothing but good things from knotties on here about Cantigny. The pictures have been amazingly gorgeous too.

    I have to admit that if I would have known about that place we probably would have checked it out as a serious contender for our reception.

    I think you made a great pick.

    I am having my ceremony in the East Lawn at Cantigny and my recpetion at Le Jardin. Let me know if you have any questions about anything!!

    Everything that I have 'heard' about cantigny has been pretty good- excpet maybe a few complaints about communication with the management, and lack of help the day of. But, just make sure you know exactly what the staff will and will not do the day of the wedding (such as set up of anything other then tables/chairs). Also, I know at Le Jardin, nothing can be left there over night and be picked up the next day- anything you bring in has to be brought out at the end of the night, which is a little annoying. BUT, besides that I think everything is great!!

    I'm getting married in August this year, ceremony on the East Lawn and reception at the Red Oak Room.  I am very excited, this place is beautiful.What are you're colors? My Bridesmaids dresses are kind of like a Raspberry, but not sure what else to put with it.

    I'm getting married there too (East Lawn/ Le Jardin) in September.  Does anyone know if "no outside food or beverages" allowed includes favors?   This just occured to me and I just sent Magan an email about something else so I don't want to send another one right after. 


    Also, is anyone getting ready in the cottage?

    So...we LOVED cantigny for a wedding. although, the woman in charge is horrible. Her name is Niguel. She will not work with me for anything - basically turning away my 15 grand for a wedding. I am hurt and saddened because this is the first place we both immediately fell in love with. Who is having one there or inquired about one? Did you have the same experience? Please post or email me... jackuhlynn@hotmail.com
