Charming vintage mansion nestled in Joilet, Illinois. Takes you back in time the moment you enter. It is filled with precious timeless antiques. The property is maintained in pristine style, preserving the beauty and elegance of its original design. The entry level is just the beginning of this estate. The ballroom is enclosed in all glass windows, allowing a view of the property's manicured and landscaped garden. The perfect setting for a wedding or outdoor celebration. Additionally, the ballroom is complete with descending stairs and a balcony overlooking. The Haley mansion possesses both ambiance and elegance. The wait servers and property managers clearly work harmoniously to ensure every vision of an event is fulfilled.

The Haley Mansion is elegant and stylish. I attended a wedding here. It has both turn of the century and modern features. Spacious dance floor and a beautiful garden with a patio.

This venue was absolutely beautiful. It was captivating and just so breathtaking. We had our wedding here and it was the most perfect and amazing day of our lives. The staff were so amazing. I can’t even put it into words. I just had the most perfect wedding and if it wasn’t for the staff and the Haley Mansion, I wouldn’t know what to do. The venue itself is beautiful that you did not need so much decor. The staff were friendly and very detail oriented. Each meeting and process leading towards my wedding were smooth and easy. The day off was just magical. I could cry remembering that day. Thank you so much to everyone. This venue will forever hold so dear to my heart. I’m so thankful for the Haley Mansion and for all the staff. Love this place so much.

"We loved having the Haley Mansion for our wedding on 5-21-22! The staff was incredible on the day-of and made everything flow smoothly. Everyone was attentive and professional throughout. The food was great and we got several compliments throughout the evening on the serving size and quality of food. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and we were even able to utilize the outdoor patio area for cocktail hour with an additional bar located outside. I could not be happier to have gone with the Haley Mansion for our big day!"

ALLISON

"I cannot say enough good things about The Haley Mansion!!!! My husband and I were blown away by the attentiveness to us and the bridal party the day of the wedding. We keep getting compliments from our guests on the food and the service. The Mansion’s beauty brought the evening to life, and we took pictures outside of the mansion at night, and they are GORGEOUS!!! I HIGHLY recommend checking out the Haley Mansion, and you will fall in love with the venue. Also, their Christmas decorations make a perfect Christmas wedding."

PAIGE

"The wedding venue of my dreams! Not only are the mansion and grounds stunning, the ballroom is beyond anything I could have imagined. From the moment we walked in, no other venue could compare. Sandy and Savanah were beyond gracious while working with us, especially considering having to postpone our initial wedding date an entire year due to COVID. Day of, our wedding vision came to life and the staff provided one of the most magical experiences our guests are still raving about over a month later. Not to mention the food is phenomenal! As big foodies, we wanted a venue that was a step above your basic venue standard, the mansion exceeded those expectations threefold. Our day at the Haley Mansion was an absolute fairy tale!"
Taylor

"I'm a Wedding Planner who worked at Haley Mansion for the first time this past weekend and I was blown away by their team's execution of this event! Sandy and Savanna were both lovely to work with leading up to the event. So organized and helpful in the postponement process for our couple's original 2020 date. On the event day, the entire serving and bartending staff were the definition of excellence, but Anthony and Eloy shined brightest. Their willingness to work with our team and completely in sync partnership with everything we planned was phenomenal! Highly recommend!"

Alexis

"Stunning venue, impeccable service, and great food! What more could you want from a wedding venue? Our guests are still raving about the service and how unique the space was! Thank you to the Haley Mansion staff for making our day one to remember. Would highly recommend for a unique wedding experience!"

"The Haley Mansion will forever hold a special place in our hearts. We fell in love with the venue right away and knew it was perfect for our dream wedding. During the planning process, the staff were incredibly nice and accommodating. The tasting was COMPLETE perfection and an elegant, upscale experience. The wedding day was hands-down the best thing we could've ever imagined. The staff provided the BEST service for us and all of our guests. The coordinators put up all of our wedding decor EXACTLY how I envisioned. The venue was the most beautiful place I've ever been personally. If you're looking to have your dream wedding, The Haley Mansion is the PERFECT place. LOVE!!"
Amy L.

"The venue was absolutely amazing and so accommodating to everything we needed for the day of! The tasting you do is great and you try basically everything on the menu. The actual venue is so pretty and the privacy you have is great since its all yours. They did a great job and we were very satisfied with them. Highly recommend!"
Vanessa D

"After becoming engaged we searched and searched for the perfect venue and then my now husband found the Haley Mansion. Since our very first visit to The Patrick Haley Mansion we were greeted with nothing but professionalism and wonderful customer service. Kim Luciano was someone that I need to mention here and give praise to. There are no words to explain how grateful we are to her for tireless work helping us through this process. She was a true angel for us and we could not have done this without her.

The Haley Mansion is so very lucky to have her. As time went on, the Haley Mansion and Kim helped us through every single obstacle that came our way with such attention to detail that every one of our worries faded away. Phone calls were never a bother for even smallest of changes. As the bride I was nervous about calling too much but Kim made me feel so calm every time. As time drew closer to our wedding day and we met another wonderful person who we could not have done the actual wedding day without. Giovanni was our point person (and other than my husband the main man of the night) the man who kept us all worry free (as much as possible) and who made the wedding reception flow seamlessly! These two must be recognized! Every single guest has come to us to praise them both including our immediate families and parents! In addition, we have gotten nothing but the best comments regarding our wedding. The food was impeccable and came out hot and ready to enjoy! The bar service and servers were so amazing that as the bride I never had to make my way up to the bar because there was always someone ready with a fresh drink for me! Our vendors were greeted by the mansion and were treated as guests just as much as we were.

Overall our experience was phenomenal I could not have asked for a more perfect day! Thank you so very much!"

REVIEW FROM The Knot

"We just had our wedding reception at The Haley Mansion and were absolutely blown away!!!! Right when we visited the mansion we knew we wanted to have our reception there. The staff is incredible and were so attentive/responded quickly to all phone calls and email messages. The night of the event, Giovanni and the rest of the staff made sure my husband and I were taken care of and delegated appropriately to the rest of the staff. The food was incredible .. I truly felt like a princess on my special day! Also, the venue itself is beautiful for photos, especially indoor photos incase it rains. I HIGHLY recommend PHM!"
REVIEW FROM The Knot

"My husband and I got married here last night and, as you can tell by how quickly I'm writing this review, I was absolutely over the moon about the Haley Mansion. I wish I could hug every employee that was there last night to thank them for how much they helped make our wedding spectacular. The reception went off without a hitch. My guests (~230) raved about the decor, the elegance of the mansion, how delicious the food was & the overall service.
I worked with Sandy, who was an absolute godsend during the last month before our wedding. She was so quick to respond to questions and the mansion was unbelievably accommodating for us. We dropped off our wedding essentials on Thursday, went through the checklist of what everything was & how it should be used, and everything was set up PERFECTLY for the wedding. I mean down to a T, the details were perfect. I can't thank the staff enough for helping our vision come to life for the reception."
REVIEW FROM The Knot

"I am overly impressed with how amazing this venue and their staff was through this whole process. The servers knew what everyone was drinking and had their next drink there before they finished their last. I’ve heard so many compliments from our guest stating best food at a wedding they have had and best service. They set up all my decorations amazingly. I was just blown away by every last detail with the Haley Mansion. If you are looking to have your wedding in this area I highly suggest this place."
REVIEW FROM The Knot

"The Patrick Haley Mansion was the most beautiful venue I could have ever chosen to embody my Winter-Elegant Wedding - it was STUNNING! The staff was amazing and so supportive, making me feel so special as a bride. From all of our meetings to the day-of, all the PHM staffers were beyond anything I could have asked for. They were attentive, supportive, and just overall great people. My guests (all from Chicago / north-suburbs) were in AWE when they saw the mansion, they couldn't believe something this beautiful existed as a wedding venue (thankfully I knew..)! I would recommend The Haley Mansion to any bride - it was one of the best decisions I have made."
REVIEW FROM The Knot

"Just an amazing place! When I first walking in for our consultation I teared up at how beautiful it was. I could not get that place out of my head. The entire planning process they were so amazing an accommodating. Our guests loved that we had pictures of loved ones all around the mansion. It was truly an unforgettable wedding."

Ashley and Randy

"I have always loved the mansion, it was wonderous. Spotless! Everything was impeccable. You went beyond my expectations. Dinner was delicious! Everything came out on time and hot!"

Kathryn and Jeffrey

We LOVED our wedding at the Haley Mansion! The service was impeccable and we had a fabulous time. Our guests raved about the beauty of the mansion, the service and the food! (Oh and so many great photo ops!)
The team and planning process was also incredible. The staff is very responsive and helpful and every time we came to the visit the mansion during the planning process, we felt more and more excited for our big day.
For us, this venue is a hidden gem. We had visited other more expensive venues that did not provide anywhere near the decor, service, food etc. for the price. I highly recommend checking out the Haley Mansion.
Alexandra

Absolutely gorgeous mansion! I was there for a wedding in February. Everything was incredibly decorated and beautiful. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and worked very hard to keep everyone happy and pleasant. I would definitely recommend visiting the Haley Mansion if you have the opportunity!
Charley

We had our wedding at The Haley Mansion, and it was absolutely perfect! The stunning setting and professional, attentive staff made our day unforgettable. Everything from the ceremony to the reception was flawless. The food is amazing. We couldn’t have chosen a better place to celebrate our special day! Highly recommend!
Shaun

I got married here - absolutely beautiful venue and the staff and amenities are top-notch. The best part is they have their own manager day of, Eloy, who looks over everything to make sure it goes smoothly. I’d give 6 stars if I could!
John

We recently had our daughter's wedding at the mansion. It was a perfect night. The service was excellent! At one point a server searched out my daughter on an upper floor and brought her a plate of hors d'oeuvre saying that they didn't want her to miss out. Eloy the Maitre D, was amazing in seeing everything and keeping the serving prompt. I also want to call out the chefs because the food was fabulous in taste and proportions. This venue is worth every penny.
Judy

This venue is downright incredible. From the first tour we knew we wanted to have our reception here. The communication from them was clear and open, and their list of needs was so easy to plan for.
Food: insanely good. We had a few dietary restrictions in our reception party and they were great at marking those as different and keeping the same level of quality of all dishes. All the appetizers, mains, and deserts were phenomenal. The bar was great and had a great team as well.
Space: This building is beautiful. Everyone kept telling us how much they loved the venue and the staff.
Team members and service: Eloy was our day of coordinator and blew us away with his professionalism and skill. Everything went so smoothly and wonderfully. I highly recommend this vendor. They were amazing and helped make our wedding truly an event to remember.
Owen

Been to a lot of weddings this was by far the best venue I have ever attended. Everyone working there were extremely polite and attentive. They made sure every aspect of service was accommodated.
David

As soon as we saw the Mansion our decision was made. It was magical! The staff at the event was amazing! it was all so good it’s hard to single out one thing. 

Dave & Florentina

"An absolute fairytale, everyone should get married at Christmas time! The dinner itself was delicious, all our guests mentioned how they never had to wait in line for a drink. Overall everything went smoothly, we never had to worry about anything. The staff checked in with us all day to make sure we had everything we needed. Thank you so much for making our special day so magical!"

abigale & alex

"The grandiosity of the Mansion and variety of spaces was really fun for our guests! The dinner was delicious, and the staff was extremely pleasant and professional. The ballroom was spectacular and the grounds were perfect! I really loved that Michael and I had our own dedicated server for drinks. We never had to go to the bar. Everything was set up wonderfully!"

Alex & Michael

"The place holds a special meaning for us now, and not just because this was our reception venue, but there were a few hidden surprises and it is a hidden gem that matched our style perfectly. The outdoor gardens were beautiful and the inside decor was unique. The menu which was made on site is *chefs kiss*. The top notch service goes to the staff that made sure everything was perfect. The atmosphere was also mesmerizing with the ambient lighting in the spacious ballroom area. While everything for the most part was perfect, the one thing I will say that I didn’t like after the fact was when we had dropped off items to be placed in certain rooms or tables (memory table and generation wedding table) the special pictures that we labeled accordingly were not placed in the proper spot and a signature drink sign was not placed properly at the bar also. Overall, it was a night to remember for years to come."

LAUREN

"Spectacular venue for a wedding. Service was especially good! Our server Gia was attentive and personable! Magical and romantic venue."

JACKIE

"My Haley Mansion experience was nothing more than amazing! Their service was impeccable you will definitely get what you pay for. Beautiful venue, I wish we could do it all over again! Their staff was so pleasant! I loved the fact that they have servers for each table so your guest doesn’t have to wait in line at the main bar for drinks. Everything was just beautiful!"
Omiona

"The Haley Mansion and their staff was truly amazing on our wedding night. Two weeks later my wife and I are still receiving compliments on the venue choice, food, service and ambiance. I would highly recommend The Haley Mansion to any prospective couples."
Jeremy

"This was my dream venue! Beautiful garden for the ceremony, classy decor for the reception where you could still see the outside (which was ideal in case we got rained out. I still wanted it to feel like an outside wedding and the glass conservatory would have made a lovely plan b if necessary but thankfully it wasn’t!), and a fun interior that made you feel like you were in a period romance novel! Every single guest at our wedding commented on how gorgeous this venue was. A lot of them had fun roaming through the mansion. The food was great especially the peppermint ice cream and the staff was excellent! Having heard from many other brides I expected to not have any food during cocktail hour but a server brought a tray out for us to snack on during the photos and the maître d was always there to refill my drink so I didn’t have to go to the bar. I worked with Savanna for the planning and she was an absolute delight to talk to each time. And I cannot thank them enough for their flexibility during the covid pandemic. Our original date was in April of 2020 which did not happen so when we needed to reschedule, they gave us a lot of flexibility with our date since we rescheduled over a year out. They we’re very generous with our guest count since it was during the vaccine roll out and we had people waiting until the last minute to RSVP."

"Excellent place for weddings and gatherings. Very friendly staff. Catering was outstanding!"
Leandro

"My husband and I cannot say enough good things about the Haley Mansion. It was the very first venue we looked at for our wedding and after leaving we cancelled the rest of our venue appointments. The mansion is beautiful!! We fell in love with everything about the place. The staff was remarkable. We had to reschedule our wedding due to COVID and Sandy was so helpful throughout the entire process. Fast forward to the day of and we could not have been more blown away!! The staff made sure all of our decorations and any requests that we had were taken care of. The servers were always on point and never made a guest wait for a drink. And the food was incredible! I think we got the most compliments on the food and the staff. Hands down the best day of our lives!"
Samantha

REVIEW FROM GOOGLE

"I cried happy tears when we toured the Patrick Haley Mansion during our venue search and by the end of our tour, my fiancé and I knew that it was the right place for us. The venue is absolutely stunning and we loved the feel of the old house paired with a beautiful ballroom. We wanted a unique, vintage, and elegant venue and the Haley Mansion delivers.”
REVIEW FROM GOOGLE

"There are not enough good things I could say about The Haley Mansion. My husband and I had our wedding there a couple of weeks ago and couldn't have been more pleased. Not only is the venue stunningly beautiful from the garden, to the ballroom, to the house itself but the staff is incredible. The staff really sets the place apart from all others. They are essentially your event planners. They contact your vendors, help set up and tear down, and make sure you have everything you need the night of. It was a "dream-like" wedding and the mansion was a huge reason why. If you choose to have your wedding there, you will NOT be disappointed."
REVIEW FROM The Knot

"Not sure I can ever properly thank you guys enough for all that you did to make our wedding so special! Your service is so far above standard, it’s truly exceptional. From the start of this process, I never doubted my decision to have my wedding at the Patrick Haley mansion, and that is not just because the venue is one of the most beautiful places around, but it’s also because of the people working there. Your team did a fantastic job setting up and tearing down the event! When I entered the ballroom, it literally took my breath away at how beautiful it was. Then there was the food and drink service, which was by far the best dinner I’ve ever had at a wedding. And then of course there is the mansion itself, that was stunning as always. We were able to have the fire places going as well, and it looked more beautiful than ever. Please send my sincerest thank you to the staff at the night of our wedding, the event coordinators and servers were fantastic. They had the perfect balance of making sure we had everything we needed, yet not interfering with us while talking to our guests. It’s no wonder why anyone who has had a wedding there has raved about the product. Thank you guys again for giving Shaheen and I a fairy tale wedding!!!"

"Blown away by how amazing this venue and the service was. I’ve received multiple compliments from our guest about how the food was the best wedding food they have ever had. Everyone could not stop talking about how great the service was. Before they finished their drink there was another brought to them. We had someone constantly bringing us our food and drinks as well. They went above and beyond to make it the best night of my life. They set all my decorations up better then I could of imagined. Highly suggest the Haley Mansion!! "
