From the reviews
Historic Mansion of the Cuneo family was donated as a museum to Loyola University back in 1991. What a gift for future generations. Weddings up to 300 people are elegant, beautiful, and unforgettable. Patient and attentive staff will guide all processes.
This place will now forever hold our hearts. We have the most beautiful wedding here and Lisa who is Cuneo Mansion's right-hand gal was so great to work with! She really helps you understand how everything will work. I had a million questions and she helped me tremendously.
The Cuneo mansion was a wonderful location for our July 2014 wedding reception! We were married in a church, and then cake here for photos cocktails on the beautiful terrace, and dinner & dancing in the ballroom. This is such a great space.
Your wedding pictures are going to be jaw-dropping! Romantic Italianate style architecture, neoclassical statuary and gardens come together as the backdrop for your wedding celebration.
Getting married at Loyola at Cuneo Mansion and Gardens
Loyola at Cuneo Mansion and Gardens comes up for weddings, going by their listing and couples’ reviews. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
