The Allure on The Lake

The warmth and charm of modern rustic

A modern rustic barn alternative. The hall, originally a former banquet hall, underwent a complete transformation in 2017. The ballroom itself has handcrafted light fixtures, artistically designed window prints, and even reclaimed wooden treated with an ancient Chinese burning technique complement the lake views that it overlooks. It’s convenient location, just minutes away from Lake Michigan, highway access to Chicago and Michigan, and hotels and restaurants make it ever popular destination for couples who desire that weekend wedding retreat!

    I love The Allure on the Lake

    A fantastic venue doesn’t cover it. The whole back of the ballroom’s floor to ceiling windows overlooking a gorgeous lake, makes for a serene backdrop to any occasion. Whether you get married outdoors with a stunning, natural backdrop, or in the intimate and chic ceremony space, you are going to have a beautiful place to say I do. The staff is warm, inviting and helpful. The food is absolutely delicious. And a large bridal suite that is cozy and spacious, with a 12 hr window of rental time?! Ok! I’m sold.
