Classic Summer Wedding at Monte Bello Estate

The Monte Bello Estate is a stunning wedding venue and event space in Lemont, Illinois, perfect for a classic summer wedding. The 55 acre estate and charming gardens make it one of the most picturesque locations, with beautiful backdrops for bridal portraits and a wedding reception.

The day began in the newly renovated bridal suites as Amanda and Anthony started to prepare for their big day. The glam team from Anomalie Beauty did a lovely job making all of the girls look perfect! Once everyone was ready, it was time to head to church for Amanda and Anthony’s ceremony. The couple exchanged vows with a traditional Catholic mass at St. Cyril & Methodius Parish in Lemont, IL, which is just a short drive from the venue.

Soon after, the guests would gather for cocktail hour as the bridal party utilized the beautiful golden hour glow illuminating their portraits. From the beautiful gazebo, to all of the scenic gardens, the Monte Bello Estate is a setting truly out of a fairytale. The magic of this special day continued into cocktail hour on the outdoor terrace, and furthermore into the reception. The beautiful floral decor by Prairie Honey Floral Studio enhanced the elegance and charm of the already stunning estate.

Some of the many highlights of the reception included the bride and groom’s choreographed dance, a Photo Booth, and the late night snack of Auntie Anne’s fresh baked pretzels. Style Matters DJ made sure the dance floor stayed full, as guests danced the night away celebrating the love of the bride and groom.

From the joyous laughter of the guests to the radiant smiles of the couple, happiness surrounded every corner of this magical day. It was a true celebration of love, and I am honored to have been able to capture it. Congratulations to the newlyweds!!
