Beautiful venue! Amazing service! BYOB!

Amazing venue! Amazing prices! Lots of options! The venue is beautiful and has lots of rooms for different options. Tabitha the owner is super helpful and will go out of her way to help with anything. The prices are very reasonable especially considering you can provide your own alcohol and catering. The airbnb's upstairs are very cool and convenient. The exposed brick and vintage decor make for great photo opportunities. Definitely highly recommend for your wedding or any function!

Small town venue with big time heart

Hidden amongst the cornfields is this amazing historic gem in central IL. With its exposed brick walls and original wooden floors it oozes romance with every room! Tabitha and her family are eager to help coordinate your special day. Amazing venue and even better owners!!! You won’t be disappointed! They were literally the best to work with.
