I was looking for a certain “look” to our engagement photos and wanted a location that was capable of pulling some old money vibes. Our videographer, Luis helped get us into contact with the Standard. It’s such a beautiful place and I’m a little sad we already had our venue picked. I highly recommend the Standard, it’s a beautiful place and the staff is great!

I am the owner of Moving N Grooving DJs and worked another great event with the staff at the Standard. This place is jaw-dropping! You have to see it in person. Tim, Sarah, Hannah, and all the staff are amazing.

We recently had our wedding at The Standard and let me tell you THIS IS THE PLACE! The venue itself is gorgeous and for that we needed minimal decorations to help accentuate its beauty. It is nice to have a one stop shop venue with the ceremony and reception to be in the same place. Not to mention they have the best staff. Sara answered out a million questions with kindness and enthusiasm always. Hannah and Zoey were our day of coordinators and helped with anything we needed from coordination of rehearsal to helping set up decorations. Tim was an amazing bartender that kept our night lively and was so fun to work with. We couldn’t have had a more perfect wedding day and we couldn’t recommend The Standard and staff enough!

Love this place! Was there for a wedding in October and it's the coolest place you'll find in Rockford for a party. Rooftop can't be beat for atmosphere.

We had our wedding at The Standard earlier this month and I cannot say enough good things about this venue. The space is absolutely gorgeous and the staff is incredible. We opted for the full coordination package and it was completely worth every penny. Sara worked with us to make sure every single detail was exactly what we wanted and often offered inspiration when we didn’t know exactly what we did want. She gave us a list of preferred local vendors, almost all of which we decided to choose and everyone worked so effortlessly as a team. On the day of the wedding, Sara and Hannah and the whole team working at The Standard constantly checked in with us to make sure we were okay and took care of everything behind the scenes so we could just enjoy the day. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful space and wonderful team of people to make your wedding dreams come true!

We came in from out of town to have our wedding close to our families and the Standard was perfect! We were able to have the venue for the whole day and the day of coordinator took care of allllllll the set up and clean up of our decor. It was very stress free for me as a bride. We had plenty of room to spread out for 2 hair stations and 2 make up stations. We had 8 bridesmaids and 2 moms getting ready in our suite and we had plenty of room. We also chose to do very minimal decorations because the venue was just beautiful as is.

Where do we even start? This venue is breathtakingly beautiful, the staff are all kind, communicative, and personable. Our wedding was amazing thanks to the angel staff at this venue. We specifically worked with Maya, Hannah, Tim, and Sarah the most during the planning process, and the wedding day. We strongly recommend getting day of coordinating services here. All of the staff went above and beyond to ensure our day went wonderfully. We are getting non stop compliments about our wedding, and it was truly the best day of our lives.

I have catered events here everyone is friendly polite. They have always treated my staff and I with kindness and respect. The staff is very diverse and welcoming. We have never had any issues or concerns. I highly recommend this place to everyone.
If you have never been to The Standard, you are missing out! It is absolutely breathtaking & truly is the most perfect venue for a wedding. Most importantly, working with The Standard team put our minds at ease during the wedding planning process. From the moment we did our venue tour, we knew there was no other place we could see ourselves getting married at. During the months leading up to the wedding, the staff was nothing short of amazing. They were always so responsive & offered assistance when needed. The Day of Coordinators absolutely killed it. From the second we walked through the doors in the morning, they made everyone feel so welcomed. Throughout the reception, they would frequently checked in on us to see how things were going & tell us where we were in terms of our timeline. The coordinators were willing to answer any questions we had & be flexible on the spot. Also, shoutout to Tim and his bar staff as well! The service was phenomenal & the drinks were amazing. The staff here went above and beyond to help make our day perfect and we couldn't thank them enough. I would plan 10 more weddings if it meant that I got to work with The Standard team all over again.

I really had no idea what type of venue I was looking for when I first got engaged over two years ago. I saw pictures from The Standard from a mutual friend who got married here and really loved the way they turned out. So my now-husband and I took a tour and it was truly love at first sight. We put the down deposit the next week.The venue itself is truly an embodiment of Rockford, IL. all while maintaining its own identity. Its classy and elegant, while having this cool industrial feel that felt perfect for our wedding. There's huge chandeliers/mirrors and the conservatory is absolutely breathtaking. Not only that, its fully ADA accessible, which was extremely important for us to have since we had friends and family who are using walkers, canes, etc. to get around.I also had paid for the Tier 3 planning services to help with the big day, and I cannot state how worth it was to have that. Sara Moore is an absolute gem of a person. She is not only extremely professional, but she gets sh*t done. She's extremely attentive, kind and all around the best coordinator I could have asked for. In the two years she helped me plan, any time I had a question, she would answer. If I had a worry, she would dispel all of my fears expeditiously. Everyone who met her fell in love and understood why I had 0 levels of stress on my big day. She handled everything with grace and kindness, and I could write an entire review dedicated to her.On top of that, The Standard's Bar Manager, Tim Woolsey, was also incredible. He is such a stand up guy! Funny, kind, attentive, and was always willing to work with us as we couldn't decide on a drink until the last minute. He responds extremely fast and he made everything on the bar side of things very easy to deal with and understand. He really took his time with you, and it was so appreciated.They also have a full kitchen in the venue, which was perfect for caterers, and all of my guests had fresh, hot food, which was perfect.All this to say, this venue was absolutely perfect from start to finish. I have absolutely nothing bad to say as my experience was so effortless, I wish I could get married all over again. Thank you to Sara, Tim, and everyone who helped us at the Standard. I highly recommend anyone who is looking for the city feel (without the city prices) to check this place out! Its a gorgeous venue with great people working to make your event perfect. Thank you again!!
