When it comes to planning your reception, there’s one thing every couple agrees on: keeping guests happy, comfortable, and on the dance floor. At The Bridge Lemont, we offer something many venues don’t — not one, but two fully stocked bars to make your day even more seamless and fun. From pre-ceremony mimosas to late-night cocktails, our spaces are designed with your celebration flow in mind.
Getting Ready with Ease
Our cocktail room bar can be open in the morning, giving you and your wedding party a relaxed way to sip and celebrate while you’re getting ready or taking pre-ceremony photos. Whether it’s a champagne toast with your bridesmaids or a casual beer with the groomsmen, it’s the perfect way to kick off the day in style.

Cocktail Hour Convenience
Once your ceremony wraps, guests can transition smoothly into the cocktail room, where the bar is already in full swing. This allows your guests to mingle, grab a drink, and enjoy appetizers while your photographer captures those just-married portraits.

Two Bars, Double the Fun
When it’s time for the reception, you can choose to have both bars open. With the grand barn doors pulled back, the cocktail room and ballroom flow together seamlessly. Guests can grab a drink near the dance floor or pop over to the cocktail bar, which helps shorten wait times and keeps the energy buzzing all night long.

Maximizing the Dance Floor Energy
Having two bars open means guests don’t have to wander far from the action. Whether they’re taking a break from dancing or catching up with friends in the cocktail lounge, drinks are always within easy reach. That balance helps keep your party moving — literally!
