I have called around to St. Daniels, St. Michaels, St. Pets (Glen Ellen) and Loretto Center - no one will marry us because we don't live in Wheaton and are not members of their parish! I live in Lake Zurich and belong to a Catholic church there. However, 90% of our guests are flying in from the East Coast and my brothers house and others who have offered their houses are in Wheaton (walking distance from Arrowhead where we are having the reception). Never knew this would be an issue. Anyone else come across this and if so, any ideas? Always have LZ as the back-up but I'm so stressed about it since it's Friday wedding and it just puts a huge wrench in everything with many folks not have cars, etc.

[QUOTE]Friday, July 13th! Yes, Friday the 13th We wanted a Friday in the summer to accomodate traveling family members and kids vacations so rather than wait until 2013 (our original plan), we said, why not?!?!? Besides, it's the luck of the Irish - next year we'll be together 13 years so we think it's a sign!!

How exciting! Congratulations! Our wedding is also at Arrowhead this December...we just had our tasting yesterday! I couldn't be happier with them so far. I will be sure to come back and post vendor reviews! If you have any questions, feel free to PM me!
I heard Arrowhead does a good job with weddings. I have not attended one there but I love the grounds.
[QUOTE]I would LOVE to hear more about your experience with Arrowhead and any vendor reviews you have. We knew from the get-go we wanted our reception there so we are so excited that everything fell into place for next summer - they've been awesome so far and I know we are just beginning! I know you'll be busy over the next several weeks so anytime you feel inspired - feel free to shoot me a message!

Hi! I am happy to share whatever you'd like! I also knew from the beginning that Arrowhead was where I wanted my reception! For some reason I have never been able to actually SEND a PM...so if you'd like you can shoot me an email at teaandco1211 at gmail.com (using the @ symbol, obviously) and I am happy to respond back!
