The Greenhouse at Zao Island was one of many venues that my wife and I were interested in while planning our wedding. We are so glad we went with this venue. Lauren, the coordinator that we had the pleasure of working with, was incredibly understanding of our every need and went above and beyond to execute our perfect day to a tee. Lauren was there for us every step of the way. The building itself is very spacious and comfortable yet simple and offers so many possibilities for decorating. The doors and windows allow for an abundance of natural light which is perfect for photography. We were able to utilize the new up lighting inside so once the sun had set the lights really gave the venue a very cool glow. Our guests also enjoyed the theme park throughout the night which made our wedding reception so unique and memorable. This place is awesome!

If you are looking for a beautiful venue for your ceremony and/or reception along with a cocktail hour that is one you will NEVER forget, you want to book The Greenhouse. The venue managers/coordinators will go above and beyond to make your day perfect. Our cocktail hour included the Zao Island attractions and arcade, and our guests had a blast! Definitely made for some great photos/videos. My husband and I could not be happier with our venue choice, and we wish we could relive our wedding day over and over again!

My husband and I originally just wanted to go to the courthouse to get married, but when his grandmother became ill we decided to have a small intimate backyard with only family and then a larger reception later on with extended family and friends. I only looked at one other venue before I chose the Greenhouse, and honestly I think I knew the moment I found them online scrolling through pictures. The space is open, elegant yet simple, and has the added appeal of an arcade, mini golf course, and more! As someone having two separate events to not only plan but afford, I felt the Greenhouse is literally what every couple in my generation is looking for. It’s affordable, but the classiest kind of affordable I love to brag about. Lauren made everything effortless for me, which is not an easy thing to do for a bride planning an event during Rona’-Ran 2020. She was never overbearing, made sure everything was perfect, had wonderful communication, and was even able to accommodate multiple last minute changes I had. Plus she’s just a joy to be around! My reception was one of the best nights of my life and I could not have asked for it to be any better from the food, to the cupcakes, to the decor, and the people. If you’re looking for a place that has the roots to make anything you’re imagining happening for your wedding or reception with a unique twist and appeal, please do yourself a favor and check out this place

The Greenhouse at Zao Island was absolutely perfect for our wedding reception! It's a bit of a nontraditional location, but that is part of the appeal. All of the guests loved the Greenhouse and its proximity to the games and activities at Zao Island. We received many, many compliments on the venue. You can have classy and FUN at the same time, and we loved it! It's also extremely affordable and their caterer is decent. Lauren, the event planner for the location, is absolutely awesome and on the ball. She took care of everything and coordinated with our vendors. With everything going on this year (2020), I could not have asked for a better venue for your reception. 100% recommend!

Our September wedding at the Greenhouse was absolutely beautiful. The venue is so unique with all the white wood and windows. We enjoyed taking pictures on the grounds including some less formal pictures around Zao Island while we were all dressed up. Everything went very smoothly for our event, and Lauren was great to work with. We would definitely recommend this venue!

We got married In July of 2020. Everything was just how we wanted. The bathrooms were updated, indoors, and roomy. The AC worked fine on a hot summer day. The staff was professional and helped us with everything we needed. The catering was delicious. Inside the venue is gorgeous, and we loved outside sitting by the ponds even better for our ceremony. I would definitely recommend this place. Absolutely beautiful.

I had my wedding at The Greenhouse this May and let me tell you it was wonderful!! We had a wedding of about 175 and fit so comfortably with room for a dance floor and a bar. Lauren, who assisted us with our whole wedding process from booking the venue to day of set up is absolutely AMAZING! She is beyond helpful, caring, and listens to help the bride is anyway that she possibly can. This is a family owned business and you can tell completely by their care and the way that they assist and work with you. They felt like family on our special day. It is a beautiful venue, we even had a rainy day and it was still absolutely perfect. I would do nothing over and am still dreaming about my wedding day a month later.I am attaching a few of our photos from our big day below. Our photographer Pen and Lens Photography snapped on our big day, our cake was also made by Designer Deserts in Valpo

We recently held our wedding reception at The Greenhouse and had a great experience overall with the venue and staff. Between the time we reserved the date and the actual event, many improvements were made to the grounds, the building itself, and offerings such as late night snacks. We were never charged anything extra or required to change anything about our original reservation. The biggest upgrade was relocating the bathrooms to be inside the building. They also installed beautiful new flooring and built a deck off the front. I believe wifi was added at some point too which we did not realize until the day of our party and would've definitely used, but tethering to 4G worked fine for our purposes of streaming music over their bluetooth system. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly, and Lauren made sure every detail was taken care of for us. She was happy to work with the decorator, photographer, and dessert caterer directly to coordinate times on our behalf. As for the party itself, it was a hit with our guests in spite of cooler weather (party was held mid-April). We purchased the Kayak package for our guests a few weeks ahead of time, which entitled them to a Game Card that was pre-loaded with two attractions and $5 of tokens. The day of our party, Zao Island/The Greenhouse graciously offered to include mini-golf for our guests at no charge so that they would not have to spend part of their Game Cards on a round of mini-golf, knowing some folks might be put off by the windy, chilly conditions. This was awesome because we figured mini-golf was the #1 thing our guests would choose to spend the Game Cards on, and this allowed them to play a few holes without committing to a full round. This is just one example of the many things the lovely Greenhouse staff did or were willing to do to help us enjoy a stress-free, fun, and very memorable event. Even if it had been raining, there are plenty of indoor activities and the building itself was kept at a very comfortable temperature so honestly The Greenhouse is a viable option for year-round events. I hope they continue to grow and thrive!
