Lehmann Mansion - Lake Villa, Illinois

Perfect venue for a fairy-tail wedding. The old charm of the building and well manicured grounds make for any unforgettable day. Their are ample areas inside and out for your wedding party, family and couple formal photos.

I've been here twice now - the first time for an ugly sweater party and now a murder mystery party. Every time it's been decorated so beautiful and it's been a blast!!! I can't wait to do more things there!

Went to the daddy daughter dance here, drove over an hr and it was worth it. We go to a couple of these every year and this was by far the best we have found

This was my first time visiting the Lehmann Mansion, and I was very excited because I'm aware of the history of the family in our area. We attended a Murder Mystery Dinner event there, which seemed like a great way to check the place out. The Mansion itself is as gorgeous as you'd expect. The food and staff, however, were not as I'd expect. The individual who likely the manager on duty wore a baseball hat (which did not seem to be part of the uniform) during the event. The bar tenders appeared to not know what the drink specials being offered were. The food served seemed like leftovers from previous meals, nothing went together... Cuban Sandwiches and Fish & Chips were the entrées. The vegetable was advertised as "Ratatouille" but tasted more like garlic mashed cauliflower. There was lovely Grape Salad which we enjoyed. And the desserts offered were cakes and cookies, which tasted good.
As for the entertainment, I will not review that, but it certainly was also not what I expected. I don't think I would go back for another event where I had to pay based on this experience.

My husband and I just had our wedding at the Lehmann Mansion on 9/9/2023. To say it was the perfect day, is an understatement. From the very beginning of our venue search (1.5 years ago), the Lehmann truly stood out from other venues we looked at in the Chicago and Milwaukee area. Not only is the property absolutely amazing, but the people who work there make things extra special and made the planning process 100x more enjoyable. Jay in particular was our point of contact throughout the entire wedding process, and from the very beginning he was always so communicative and helpful. Something truly priceless is being able to find vendors who make the wedding planning process less stressful. Jay was consistently so responsive to my questions and last minute updates. We had so many compliments on our venue choice, I would choose the Lehmann Mansion over anything a hundred times over.

My name is Brianna (Bree) & I own BreeNies Photography. I have been photographing weddings & events at The Lehmann Mansion for the last year and it is my favorite venue!! The staff is incredible! They are all so welcoming & on top of everything making sure that each and every event they hold runs smoothly. The venue is gorgeous & a great piece of history. I am so thankful to be part of their top vendor list and spend as much time there as I do. It feels like a home away from home & I look forward to photographing all future clients there!

We just had our wedding 9/30/2023, and Lehmann Mansion did not disappoint! The venue is absolutely beautiful, the staff are professional and know exactly how to run a wedding, the food is great, and for a great price too! It was extremely nice to have a venue that takes care of all the rentals, sets up and tears down, and has preferred vendors. We used their preferred vendors for florist (Larkspur&Leo), DJ (Grand DJ Entertainment), and desserts (Lovin Oven). Everything went pretty flawlessly on our wedding day. Jay was always on top of everything and was quick to respond to all of my emails for planning. He is also flexible with different arrangements- we did an open bar for cocktail hour and then had a his/hers cocktail that we prepaid for a certain number of bottles in addition to the house package (beer and wine). He even worked to order in mezcal for my cocktail! Our guests had a great time and were definitely impressed with the venue.

We were able to hang out in the bridal suites before starting pictures, had the ceremony outside, cocktail hour on the terrace, and reception in the tent. A lot of people had fun exploring the grounds.

Absolutely wonderful restored Old Time country estate. I appreciate that they have a new and modern event tent equipped with fresh carpet, beautiful fairy lights and able to see what seems to be 300 people!
