Lakes at Lacey

Lakes at Lacey is a Downers Grove event venue offering multiple indoor and outdoor spaces for weddings, receptions, cultural ceremonies, and other celebrations, set next to an arboretum and surrounding lake. The venue includes five distinct event spaces: the Grand Lounge and Bridges Library, the Piano Lounge with floor-to-ceiling windows and a baby grand piano, the glass-walled Lakeview Conservatory ballroom with panoramic views of forested landscapes, the Conference Center, and the Grove outdoor space. The Lakeview Conservatory holds up to 500 guests for a plated meal and 600 for a ceremony, while the Grove accommodates 600 for a standing reception. Located in Downers Grove, approximately 30 minutes from Chicago international airports. Couples cite the lake views, scenic staircase and outdoor balcony as photo spots, and attentive on-site coordinators; a few reviewers note the building has a corporate feel that benefits from thoughtful decor.
