The Barn

Guests are always in awe when stepping into our elegant 3200 sq. ft. barn venue. We were inspired to take the architectural shell of the barn and completely transform it into one of the most elegant, rustic special event venues in the Chicagoland area! The Barn is dressed with reclaimed wooden walls and vaulted ceiling, twig lights and beautiful vintage chandeliers making it a stunning setting for cocktail hour, ceremonies and receptions. Two large garage doors that open to our patio overlooking 500 acres of farmlands.
