My husband and I got married at the Haight this last October & it was everything we could have dreamed of! We spent so much time looking for the perfect venue & when we visited the Haight, we knew right away that it was the one. From the very beginning, everyone was so helpful & communicative. On the day of our wedding, we had Lauren as our coordinator & she did amazing! If there were any issues, I didn’t know about them & she figured it out! She even helped with my bustle when my sisters were having a hard time figuring it out. They go above and beyond to ensure that everything goes smoothly! Thank you all for all of your help!

My wife and I used the haight for our wedding! We loved the beautiful venue. We originally talked to Nicole and she was amazing! Then we got our day of coordinator who was Lauren! We were so happy with the communication! We were only saddened slightly that we didn’t get a social media post (that they usually do for weddings) and we wanted to preserve as much of our wedding cake as possible but we DID at least get our top tier. Lauren was fantastic and as far as we know we didn’t have any major hiccups (if we did, Lauren handled them AMAZINGLY) Reviewed on 17-10-2023

The best venue! The atmosphere is perfect and the staff were amazing! They were so helpful throughout the planning process and day of they were so attentive and supportive. Reviewed on 09-10-2023
I CANNOT RECOMMEND THE HAIGHT ENOUGH! I worked with Nicole in the beginning and then was assigned Shannon Tennant as my day of coordinator. Nicole was very helpful in the beginning processes, but Shannon was the show stopper. I had absolutely no worries from the set up, ceremony, and reception because she did ALL of the work. When questions did arise on the day of the wedding, she contacted my maid of honor and made sure everything was absolutely perfect. From the bottom of my heart, this place and the people that run it are amazing! If you want a wedding that runs smoothly from start to finish, without the headache of dealing with every problem yourself, THIS IS THE PLACE! My day was so beautiful and it's all because of the people of the Haight. Reviewed on 06-09-2023

Finding The Haight to host our wedding ceremony and reception was a dream come true. The exposed brick, twinkle lights, one-of-a-kind sculptures and art decor are just outside details that make this venue magical. However, it was really the organization and hardworking team behind it all that made our wedding the perfect day. It was such a breath of fresh air when we signed with The Haight. Their expertise and attention to deals were key for me. I highly suggest utilizing their list of vendors. Many of my vendors knew and worked with each other, creating an even happier and friendly vibe. Could not rave more about this outstanding team and venue! Reviewed on 29-08-2023

Would give 0/5 stars if I could. I truly never give bad reviews but we had the most horrific experience with The Haight. The Haight breached basic confidentiality and disclosed financial amounts, vendor information, and expected guest count without my consent to someone that was not on the event contract. They have refused to take accountability for breaching the basic confidentiality, disclosed financial amounts, vendor information, and expected guest count without my consent. After canceling with The Haight, they continued to break confidentiality by obtaining information from a vendor when I had a password-protected agreement with that vendor after I had specifically stated I had confidentiality issues with The Haight. The Haight tried to offer options such as reselling the date (which we asked them to do and they did not provide documentation to us that they did so, they just stated they tried and the date did not resell), changing locations to their venue down the street from The Haight (which would not make a difference to the situation as it was confidentiality concern), change the date (that does not resolve the issue as it is a confidentiality concern), and add security (adding security still would’ve not addressed the concern as they broke confidentiality). I had to cancel with The Haight because I could not trust that they would hold any of my information as confidential. They stated in the contract that the retainer and other fees are non-refundable, and when asked to refund us regardless because of their breach of confidentiality, they stated that they still could not refund us due to The Haight using retainers and fees for other business expenses. Since we did not feel that the options offered could resolve their actions we wanted a refund despite their contract, due to the several breaches in confidentiality, for what we had paid for and an apology directly from the owner, both of which they did not give. The Haight provided general apologies but did not take accountability specifically for breaching basic confidentiality, disclosing financial amounts, vendor information, and expected guest count without my consent. Truly such bad business and I would never recommend anyone to them. They ruined our wedding experience. Again, we tried numerous times to ask for direct contact with the owner and they did not connect with us for their team breaching basic confidentiality, disclosing financial amounts, vendor information, and expected guest count without my consent. Horrendous experience. Reviewed on 25-07-2023

When my husband and I were going through the planning process of finding a venue I had my heart set on a different location and the Haight was our last venue tour. Boy am I glad we made the trip that day because we both left falling in love with the venue and the staff!They were always timely in responses and were so helpful with the whole planning process. We chose all of our vendors off their preferred vendor list and weren’t upset with any choices. When it came to the big day Melissa was our day of coordinator (which comes with booking the venue and is an amazing amenity!)Melissa knocked it out of the park for us. She was easy to communicate with and made it so neither of us had to worry about a think the day of. The staff is so organized it truly made for the most perfect day and best day of our lives. We couldn’t be anymore grateful for the Haight and we are so happy we chose this absolutely breathtakingly beautiful venue to be the home to our wedding day.Thank you guys again!With all of our love and gratitude!

Our wedding at the HAIGHT was absolutely perfect. From all of our vendors to every detail our wedding coordinator, Shannon, put together. She took my vision and turned it into reality. The rooftop deck was probably my favorite part, as the music plays outside through their sound system. It is perfect for an intimate wedding of 125 people. You don't need much decor because the industrial design and hanging lights make the ambiance MAGICAL. Reviewed on 18-05-2023
Alyse Thompson-Richards(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 19-11-2022 Our wedding would not have been as amazing or as beautiful as it was if we didn't have it at The Haight. The venue is absolutely stunning, and the event team has the process down to absolute science.

We got so many compliments on the venue and how well our wedding was managed. We highly recommend The Haight! Reviewed on 04-02-2023
Katie Bogle(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-12-2022 Our wedding at The Haight was absolutely perfect. We looked at one wedding venue before our tour at The Haight and then we cancelled our 3rd option because the decision to do it at The Haight was so easy. I'm so happy we went with our gut feeling. The venue really has the whole package - exposed brick, greenery, and a modern-industrial look make it so beautiful and unique that it really doesn't require a lot of decorating work. Outside of some pictures and a memorial table, the only decorations we really had for our day were the flowers and everything still looked so beautiful. Another HUGE plus is the wedding coordinator that comes with your booking. It was so wonderful to have someone there several weeks up to & during the wedding to make sure everything ran smoothly. We had the pleasure of working with Shannon and she knocked every curve ball we through at her out of the park. Lots of people say that your wedding day feels like such a blur because of how busy you are, but I feel like we really got to relax and soak everything in because Shannon was there to help us with every little thing we or our guests needed. My wife and I can't speak enough about how perfect everything went. I would highly recommend this venue and Shannon to anyone who wants to have a beautiful and successful wedding day!

Parker Voshall(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-11-2022 First, the pros: we absolutely loved this venue, and our guests are still raving about it two months later. The atmosphere is gorgeous, the convenience of having the ceremony and reception in the same space was great for our out-of-town guests, and the two suites for the wedding party were perfect. Another huge sell for us was that the space is incredibly LGBTQ+ friendly. All in all, we would absolutely use the Haight if we were doing this all over again. There were, however, a few cons that we encountered closer to the date and on the day itself. One of the things we were most excited about was the way the Haight talked about their personally assigned wedding coordinator to help us plan and make sure things went smoothly on the day. While Bree was fantastic and incredibly helpful, what that actual service looked like wasn't what we were expecting based on initial conversations that led to us booking with them in the first place. We also wish we would have listened to our photographer and our guts and booked the extra hour at the start of the day, but we were assured that the base time would be more than enough time (it was not). The other thing that ended up being an issue for some of our guests was handicap accessibility. While there is an elevator for guest use, the guests that needed that accommodation shared with us how incredibly frustrating it was to find their way to where they were going. We had guests accidentally finding their way to our suite then getting yelled at by staff, and they all said they just wished there was clear signage or directions from the elevator upstairs to the ceremony and reception space.

Our coordinator Shannon would respond to my ridiculous emails (even on the weekends when she really didn’t need to) and always reassured me every step of the way.

Taylor Drozdowski(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-10-2022 I truly do not know where to begin on this review. We booked The Haight back in June 2020 for our October 8th 2022 wedding. Even with a longer engagement The Haight and its staff made us feel like our planning was just as important as the weddings who were coming up soon! From working with Lauren to create our perfect bar menu to being paired with Shannon as our day of coordinator, everything was perfect. Each planner gave their all to every detail and truly made our vision come to life. Not only is the staff the sweetest group to work with, but the quality of their venue is second to none. Coordinating decor was so simple as the Haight is already so naturally stunning we really only needed minimal decor. This truly took so much weight off of my shoulders. In addition, the outdoor patio space upstairs is an absolutely perfect space to utilize for your guests but also for wedding party photos. It was so nice not having to find a photography location because a perfect one was just up the stairs. The bridal suite is also perfect for larger bridal parties. I had 10 bridesmaids in addition to my mother, MIL, three hairstylists, two makeup artists, and my photo/video vendors and we NEVER felt crowded or overwhelmed. My vendors even had ample amount of space to get all of us ready! It was truly the most perfect space. The venue also worked really well for our wedding of 200 people. We never once felt crowded or like there wasn't enough space! I cannot recommend this venue enough to anyone even thinking about booking here, just do it you won't regret it! Reviewed on 25-11-2022

The space is full of vintage beauty with hard wood floors and exposed brick throughout the venue. It required minimal decoration. Our family and friends raved about how beautiful the space was. Additionally the staff at the Haight was so supportive and responsive throughout our engagement. They gave us a folder of recommended vendors which helped us book our dream team without a wedding planner. On the day of my wedding, I had nothing to worry about because our event coordinator Lauren took care of everything.

It has an adorable bridal suite, a beautiful outdoor deck, and the downstairs and upstairs are just gorgeous. One of the best things about The Haight is that you don't have to share the building with anyone else during your wedding - you will have the entire building to yourselves. The Haight was reasonably priced and the staff, especially Sarah who was our coordinator, was beyond wonderful. Sarah was so amazing at keeping in touch with us, answering my million questions, ensuring the day ran smoothly, helping me iron out final touches, and just being there for us from start to finish. I really couldn't have asked for someone better than Sarah. Lauren was also so wonderful and helped us create our ideal bar package.

Ava Lorenz(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-09-2021 I wanted to write this review asap so I wouldn't forget any details of the most perfect day! My husband and I looked at The Haight in March 2020 and booked it immediately. With covid thrown in the mix, our wedding coordinator Nicole provided the best wedding planning experience we could have asked for. She was there every step of the way down to the check-ins, quick email responses, and walking us through the processes step by step. When it came to day of she was able to set up our decor etc exactly how we had pictured and answered any questions we had as the day carried on. I have told family and friends how much we truly loved our venue. Nicole provided us with vendor recommendations list from the venue and we ended up using three of the vendors! This was just one way she made the wedding planning a breeze. I can't even think of one thing I would change about the day. The venue provides spreadsheets throughout your planning process to help you keep your details organized...more useful than any wedding binder I could have bought. The actual venue is gorgeous and well kept. Everything was clean and my husband and I received numerous comments about the venue. Its a great spot if you want to chance having an outdoor wedding with the ability to move indoors at the last moment. Luckily we had perfect weather which made the whole location enjoyable. The bartenders were very attentive and we had no complaints on the service they provided. They continuously made sure my husband and I had our preferred drinks and when mine started to run low ensured me I would be covered! They even made a point to make sure we had our last call. We really had no worries the whole day. Our timeline was pushed back a little but Nicole and the entire staff of our vendors were flexible and made everything run smoothly. I am being that emotional post wedding bride writing this review but our day was everything we dreamed of because of this wonderful venue. Thank you so much! Reviewed on 13-09-2021
Evelyn Ramirez(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-08-2021 From the day that I first found The Haight online, I could not stop thinking about how beautiful the venue is and envisioned my wedding there. We had planned on touring a couple venues before making a final decision, but once we stepped into The Haight our minds were made and we were ready to book! Initially we were set to have our wedding August 2020, but decided to postpone due to the pandemic until August 2021. Throughout it all, Brett and everyone at The Haight has been great about communication, recommendations, and answering our many questions! With Brett's help, we knew exactly what we needed to get done ahead of time and what details to focus on which helped take the stress of wedding planning off of us as the wedding day got closer.Our wedding day was everything we imagined! The bridal and groom suites were perfect for getting ready and photos/videos, we loved being able to spend the entire day at the venue! The Haight staff took care of setting up our personal items that we brought (photos, photobooth props, guest book, etc.) exactly as we had envisioned. The entire venue is full of beautiful photo backdrops including the new deck! We cannot put into words how beautiful The Haight is and how lucky we are to be able to say we had our wedding at The Haight! Reviewed on 02-09-2021
Jessica Czaja(bride)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-08-2021 We were so excited to have our wedding at The Haight, upon booking we were working with Brianna which was absolutely wonderful. Once she left it all went down hill from there. Our wedding was scheduling for August 21 2021, we booked The Haight in 2019. Of course COVID hit & businesses were greatly impacted. We understood how difficult this was for businesses. We were hopeful for August. Once things got closer we met with the venue to begin to finalize some details. We soon realized that it might be better to reschedule for 2022 as The Haight suggested we did our wedding in waves. We were expecting 150 guests and they suggested we do 50 at a time, so 50 come for a bit then leave and then the next few come. It was very strange. We then received an email that if we would like to do 2022 we could do Monday - Thursday in Peak season (April - November) or Sunday - Thursday in off-peak season. Also a few Fridays in February 2022. Being business owners ourselves that was just not possible and we felt very hurt by the management responses. With our wedding date approaching in less then 5 months we were starting to get worried. We wanted to discuss with the owners. They called us during our business hours and stated that they have children and after 3 pm doesn’t work for them. Also very shocking as I could never imagine telling my customers something like that. Email communication was getting us nowhere as we were not given many options that made us feel confident spending the amount of money the venue charges for the suggestions given to us. We lost 6k, initial deposit we understand not to be refundable but a bar package that had not been purchased as well as additional payments towards the venue where services were never received.. I’ve never heard of such a thing. At the end it was a blessing in disguise as I could see they have a lot of work to do in the customer service department and would never wish this nightmare on any couple planning their special day.

My friends we so cared for, every detail managed by the Haight staff (I wish I booked a place that included a team) Absolutely everyone who helped them through the planning, moving, re-planning and celebrating process was 10 stars.

So many people came up to me throughout the day and said how amazing the staff was and how nice they were. I know the day went fast, and I feel a large part of that was because everything flowed so seemlessly. From our ceremony to cocktail hour to reception. Not a second was lost, but Brett made sure to allow time for my husband and I to see the finished upstairs reception area before people came up, and I must say it is something I will always remember about our wedding day. To see every detail before anyone else was just amazing (and I highly recommend you do this!! ) Brett took my ideas, candles and boxes of decorations, and made the dream wedding I never thought would be possible.

We were able to go see the venue on multiple occasions prior to our wedding, which was so great to see the space in different settings. Brett was our coordinator and truly helpful and amazing too. He was able to bring all our visions to light. I loved being able to drop off our decor items a few days prior and he had everything set up perfectly the day of. He worked with our other vendors to ensure everyone was on track and arriving at the right times throughout the day. He asked me multiple times throughout the day if we needed anything. We paid to have the bridal suite an hour earlier and I was forever grateful to have it for 'getting ready' photos! We were also allowed to use their new outdoor patio space for photos without having to rent it. All of our guests were just as obsessed with the Haight as we were. I would recommend this venue to everyone! Reviewed on 19-02-2020
Heather Martinez(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 31-01-2020 My husband and I got married at The Haight two weeks ago and it was perfect! We were planning the wedding while living in a different state, which provided its own challenges, but Brett made it so easy for us! Brett ensured that we felt totally comfortable with everything about a month before the wedding and totally put our minds at ease. Brett was very present and helpful before the wedding and the day of. I cannot say enough great things about both The Haight and Brett. They were also so helpful with selecting other vendors and decor choices. Reviewed on 16-02-2020

Kasia Flowers(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-12-2019 We had a FANTASTIC experience with The Haight. This is such a unique venue that allows couples to be creative in planning their big day. After booking the venue we were given a list of preferred vendors from The Haight to help us in choosing our caterer, photographer, flowers, entertainment, and much more. The day of the wedding we were assigned a coordinator that made all of our wedding dreams come true! Everything went smoothly, communication between vendors was flawless, and every detail was executed perfectly all due to the fantastic efforts of The Haight's staff.

It was absolutely amazing night and I don't think it would have gone so smoothly and beautifully if it wasn't for Lauren! She was so responsive to any questions and seriously she was the backbone to everything. I don't think I could ever thank you enough. I think this is the best place to get married in the midwest!

Vincia Jones(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-10-2019 My husband and I can not recommend the Haight enough. After weeks of searching for the perfect venue we were lucky to stumble upon the Haight. It literally had everything we felt was missing from others. Beautiful wood floors, exposed brick, lighting, repurposed art, an amazing bridal suite, and even an area for the grooms, and staff that made you feel comfortable from the first interaction.Plus it was affordable! We were assured from the beginning that they could make our dreams come true! We were able to have both our ceremony and reception at The Haight, without the compromising due to room flips other required! This allowed the ceremony to remain very intimate! Nicole was our coordinator and was amazing from beginning to end, extremely organized, and was great at offering suggestions and truly putting us at ease. The day of our wedding she really made sure that anything we needed or asked for was taken care of. I actually didn’t even get to look at the ceremony, cocktail, or reception areas prior to it starting due to photos. However, when I finally did it was better than I could ever imagine, and exceeded my dreams! We were also able to use the beautiful new deck, which was an amazing place for our family and first pics as a married couple! My only regret is that we don’t get to do again, but I guess that’s what vow renewals are for! See you in 10 years lol Reviewed on 27-12-2019
Hannah Crippen(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-11-2019 The Haight was the perfect venue for our wedding, we absolutely recommend it! Where to start!? The venue can be a little deceiving from the outside - it's an unassuming building in little downtown Elgin where there isn't much going on, but it is an incredibly gorgeous, unique venue. The cocktail hour space is nice and big and has an eclectic mix of quirky (e.g. giant welded bride & groom statues) and trendy (e.g. 'Cheers' wall) elements. The upstairs area for the reception (and ceremony if you choose) is the epitome of rustic elegance with hardwood floors, exposed brick, and really gorgeous, moody lighting (I recommend the candle package!). Other reception details I especially loved - custom farmhouse tables & GIANT dance floor. Brett was our planning lead and he was amazing. So helpful in nailing down all of the little details and timeline, and he made sure our day went perfectly smoothly. They also provide a list of preferred vendors and we found our caterer, florist, dessert (donuts), and DJ from that list - all 5 star services who had prior experience working at the venue which made us feel even more comfortable. To The Haight - thank you for hosting our dream day and the best party ever! Reviewed on 18-12-2019
Rachael Karch(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-11-2019 My husband and I had such an enjoyable experience working with all The Haight staff.

Charlotte Orbach(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-06-2019 Choosing The Haight for our wedding venue was the best choice we could have ever made. The moment we walked in and saw it we knew it was going to be perfect for our big day. The dark wood, brick walls, string lights, and cozy space gave our wedding the perfect hygge glow. Above all this, the staff at The Haight went above and beyond our expectations to make sure our wedding day went smoothly without any hiccups along the way. Our wedding guests still rave about this venue and how beautiful it was. Even though they had to close off the deck area for renovations leading us not being able to have an outside space, they more than made up for it with some of their amazing wedding rentals. We ended up renting their candle treatment, upgrading our ceremony curtain, and renting out all the farm tables free of charge to make up for the desk renovations. They were a such great touch to our big day. Brett, Nicole, and Lauren were so kind and also amazing to work with. With living out of state, they made communication about the venue and the wedding day simple and easy. Whenever I was in town for wedding planning, I could give them a call or send a quick email about coming to visit the venue to measure this or take a picture of that and I could zip on over. Day of, Brett was amazing and I wish I could have him for my day-to-day life planning!

It checked ALL the boxes for how I envisioned my special day. I booked fast knowing there were only a few days left in the 2019 calendar year and I am so happy I did! All my guests raved about the uniqueness of the venue and the space it provided for dancing the night away! I worked with Lauren who was always available to answer my questions. She was very accommodating throughout the entire planning process and made me feel at ease the day of the wedding. If something was off, Laurent took care of it right away.

Melanie Reuther(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-11-2019 Let me just start by saying what everyone else has already said - as soon as we walked into The Haight, we knew it was where we wanted to get married. It is gorgeous and unique and charming. We were lucky enough to work with Nicole as our wedding coordinator. I don’t have the words to explain how grateful I am to Nicole for the work she put in to make our wedding day perfect. Nicole made it so easy for me. If she had questions about where something was supposed to go, she would ask me and simply say “okay! We’ll take care of it!” With a smile on her face. And it was PERFECT. Seeing the reception room all set up, exactly how I envisioned it, brought tears to my eyes. It was like Nicole could see into my mind and she brought my vision to life. We also got to work with Maria, who was incredibly sweet. She carried my train through the whole building and she was the last person I saw before walking down the aisle to my husband. She calmed my nerves and she made me smile. Our security guard Wayne was also sweet and funny and did a great job. He kept our guests, and our gifts, safe and for that we are grateful :)I probably emailed Nicole thirty times before our wedding, about small details or things I wanted clarification on, and every time she would respond patiently and with kindness. This is how they do it at The Haight - they are there for you, they want you to have the perfect day. We truly did. I could not be happier with how everything turned out. Thank you thank you thank you to everyone at The Haight for making my dreams come true. Reviewed on 06-11-2019

Jessica K(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-09-2019 Ambiance and atmosphere alone of The Haight gives this 5 stars - We received nothing but compliments afterwards for choosing such a unique and beautiful place. Having an amazing bridal suite to get ready in helped ease any day of anxiety I thought I would have and my photographer loved the space. AND the fact that they have the outside patio completed is amazing and everyone loved having cocktail hour out there!The Haight did an amazing job at having our wedding run smoothly and care-free. It's possible to find many similar looking venues, but not necessarily in the suburbs and not with the level of attention you receive from The Haight Staff. I was a bride that frequently e-mailed the venue with questions throughout, especially in the 2 months leading up to the wedding and Brett was always super helpful and quick in responding. The day of the wedding went by perfectly and Brett (along with other venue staff) helped make it so seamless. Choosing their preferred vendors makes it sooo easy because they all know the venue so well. Our photobooth didn't show up at their scheduled time and Brett was on top of calling them and asking where they were, along with just coordinating the whole day and being around for questions or any issues that may have arisen. I cannot recommend The Haight enough and I wish I could get married over and over again. :) Reviewed on 22-10-2019
