Our organization's team members had an absolutely awesome time at Camp Aramoni. The place is gorgeous and the experience one has by being surrounded by nature is unforgettable. The staff at Camp Aramoni treated all of us wonderfully. The homemade meals we ate were simply delightful. I highly recommend Camp Aramoni if you are looking to get away and disconnect from the stressors of a busy city life.
Camp Aramoni is a great weekend getaway. The tents are roomy and have all the amenities you need. The staff are wonderful and easy to to communicate with. It was so nice to have a campfire at the end of the night. Breakfast and dinner were seasonal offerings and the cocktails are top notch!
Hiiiii Andrea and staff!
What an amazing, amazing day! We feel so fortunate to have won such a wonderful giveaway! We can’t thank you and the entire staff enough for meeting with us, paying attention to detail and executing
it all with a smile. It warmed our hearts to have found a venue where we felt seen, accepted, and safe. You and the staff made the joys and the stress of planning a wedding in 3 months as smooth as can be. We truly appreciate everyone’s time and effort that was put into the most important day of our lives thus far! We can’t wait to come back for our 1 year anniversary! We will definitely take advantage of the discount. Thank you Camp Aramoni! Also we will absolutely write a review too.
The newlyweds,
Sandra & Tina
If you are looking for a dreamy LGBTQ+ friendly wedding venue that will do everything in their power to make your wedding absolutely perfect (including having your dog involved!), look no further than Camp Aramoni. My wife and I had our wedding here in October 2023 and had a truly magical experience. Here are our top 3 reasons to rave about Camp Aramoni as a wedding/event venue (in no particular order).
1) It is a beautifully restored historic venue surrounded by a natural prairie with plenty of spots for gorgeous photos, some of ours shared here.
2) Andrea Mason, the event manager, is a true partner in your wedding planning. She is super responsive via email, gets as much information as possible about your vision for your wedding, meets with you multiple times before your wedding to ensure you’re on the same page, and will pull out all the stops the day of your wedding to make sure it’s the perfect day. The assistant event manager Gretchen and the rest of the staff is equally incredible - you will feel so cared for and celebrated by every person there.
3) The food is AMAZING. As some other reviews have said, don’t even bother with external catering. Chef Carmen is outstanding and so talented - all of our guests raved about all the food. We had a number of dietary restrictions on our guest list and they were very accommodating, providing individual plated meals when necessary and clearly marking which dishes were dairy-free, gluten-free, vegetarian, etc. Finally, don’t skip the appetizers/grazing platters - almost three months later, our family members are still talking about the pretzel bites, meatballs, and grilled cheese shooters.
Bonus reason #4 if you’ve read this far: stay in one of the tents on-site for your wedding weekend if you are able to! The staff at the campground are just as incredible as the staff at the event center, the tents are so dreamy, and you will feel like you are the guests of honor for the duration of your stay. We truly had the best weekend of our lives and are so grateful to have come across this venue and amazing team.
Absolutely wonderful clamping site in relatively close proximity to Chicago. A perfect weekend getaway that mixes both tranquility and adventure. Have stayed annually since opened and will continue to do so as they look to continue upgrading experiences and offering more for guests.
Property is large and has a little bit of something for everyone, games, fire pits, sitting, hiking, collecting wildflowers, picnics. No amount of detailed request is too small for this small business.
Food has greatly improved YoY since they’ve added the industrial kitchen and have an excellent new chef. Hope to see an expanded alcohol list as well.
Tents are spacious, clean and affordable. Individual A/C units allow fast cool down or heat up in short order. Water pressure beats expectations. Cute details found throughout with comfortable furniture.
Have not used the venue, but will look to find something to do there one of these years.
