“Jerry and his crew made out wedding day incredible! They helped run the whole day, they got the guests seated, kept everything on schedule, and ensured that Ben and I didn't have to worry about anything. When our flowergirl got stage-fright right before walking down the aisle, Jerry swooped in to save the day and helped her find her mom. We initially didn't plan to do a grand entrance into the reception, but Jerry and the DJ (Megan from Music that Moves) made one happen last-minute so our flower girl could have a second shot ar throwing her petals. You're not just getting a venue at Parkway, you're getting a whole team who will make your event run smoothly. If we ever do a vow renewal or anniversary party, we will be back!”

“Bottom Line Up Front: Hidden Creek Estates (HCE) did an amazing job with my wife and I’s wedding. Easy to work with, hard-working, flexible, and transparent from a pricing perspective. Alyssa - I cannot say enough good things about you. You truly made our day special. Overall, I cannot thank the HCE staff enough for a wonderful wedding and overall weekend. ESPECIALLY ALYSSA. Alyssa worked so hard to make everything perfect. She deserves the world for her efforts. From the beginning they won us over during our in depth venue search. Their hospitality, transparency, and work ethic showed through during every step. Prep: Leading up to the big day tastings, planning calls, and impromptu meetings were easy with this stellar team. My wife and I were hard to schedule with at times due to our work schedules and they made every event work for us. On property stays: the on property housing is beautiful. Great place for family, wedding parties, and more! Vendors: Their vendor list was amazing and well priced providing plenty of options. They also worked with vendors we brought in quite well. Ceremony: we did both our ceremony and reception on site. During our wedding we had a rain forecast and they worked with us til the very last minute to give us every opportunity to do the ceremony either inside or outside. We opted to go outside, and they made it work. Wiped down chairs, umbrellas, even plastic stoppers to go over the ladies heels to walk better in the rain. Cocktail hour/Dinner: Moving into cocktail hour, we adjusted our timing to perfectly fit our rain delayed day. Cocktail hour was great with the apps we picked landing well with our guests. Delicious options, it was quite hard to choose. Moving into dinner we had a few last minute changes that they worked hard to accommodate (FOB bringing in opera singer). Food was great at dinner as well and came out quickly and succinctly. Reception: Dance floor and bar were wonderful. We had a great party to end our wedding day. The DJ (Brent from Luxe productions) was on their known vendor list and he closed the party down perfectly. We wish we could do it all again. Thank you again, Alyssa, who made sure each of the above items were easy to do and seamlessly executed. Check out Hidden Creek! Jack/Nicole”

“My husband and I were married at the Beloit Club in May of 2023 and we could not have imagined a more perfect venue for the two of us. My husband's grandparents have been members for a very long and we just loved eating her with their delicious food and beautiful venue. You do not need to be a member to be married here! With that being said, we have always enjoyed the food here and it did not disappoint on our wedding day! We were able to customize our meals for ourselves and for our guests. All event staff were very attentive to every little detail since we booked our date to the last minute. They helped make the wedding flow as smoothly as possible. The club house is spectacular, they are so accommodating, our pictures turned out beautifully and all of our guests complimented the venue and the food. The Beloit Club has plenty of great hotels near by and I found them to be reasonable in terms of cost in wedding planning. We absolutely loved this place for our wedding!”

“As soon as my wife saw Prairie Street, she knew immediately this was the venue she wanted. Neither of us is from Rockford and we have no real ties to the area. But Prairie Street Brewing Company is an absolute gem. Cannot recommend this place highly enough. Every member of the staff, especially Visouda, was so accommodating and put up with our incessant questions. It was the perfect setting for our wedding; it gave us both a ceremony right by the beautiful river, and then offered the rustic beauty that we were looking for in a venue. Not to mention, it was priced much cheaper than every other venue we considered. And quite frankly, even if it’s not for a wedding or special occasion, everyone should just go there. Incredible atmosphere, fantastic food, terrific vibe throughout the whole place, especially on Thursdays when they have live music on the dock. I wish I lived closer because I would be a regular. Thank you to everyone at Prairie Street for giving us the perfect wedding day!”

The space itself was absolutely beautiful - stately and elegant, providing the perfect setting for our intimate ceremony and dinner. Our guests raved about the intimate ceremony space and the lovely dinner area, which allowed for great conversation throughout the evening. As the bride, I wish there had been a private space for me to get ready and wait before the ceremony, as the guests were able to see me beforehand.

“When we initially booked The Pavilion, we were working with someone who ended up moving on to better things and we were then in communication with Katie, who was friendly and above and beyond professional when it came to response time and the 50 million questions you have leading up to your big day. We worked with Staci for the Henrici’s catering, the food was phenomenal. She was great. She was friendly, she was respectful and kind leading up to even the week before with giving some sort of reassurance when needed as a busy bride. The 30 days before, we worked with Jill who was friendly at first but then eventually kind of became a headache and added so much more stress on me than I could ever imagine. If it wouldn’t have been such a huge financial loss, I probably would’ve cancelled my whole day. They split your “final payment” into two final payments instead of one. So that was really confusing, and we had no idea until the week OF our wedding that we still would’ve even owed money. There was miscommunication on attendance several times, the working staff was friendly but was pretty pushy through the night to where even bridesmaids and my photographer and DJ mentioned to me. We were supposed to end our night at 10:30, but it ended at 9. Overall, gorgeous venue, mostly friendly office staff, friendly but pushy catering staff. 3.5 out of 5 stars if I could based off that experience alone.”

“We had the absolute pleasure of having our wedding at Old Coon Creek Inn in Beloit, WI, and it was truly a dream come true! We were the second wedding hosted at this stunning venue, and Jill and Pat were absolutely wonderful throughout the entire process. Their dedication, kindness, and attention to detail made everything so easy and stress-free for us. The venue itself is breathtaking, with its rustic charm and beautiful natural surroundings, creating the perfect backdrop for our special day. Even after our wedding, I still follow their page and love seeing all the amazing improvements they continue to make. It’s clear that Jill and Pat pour their hearts into making Old Coon Creek Inn the best possible space for weddings and events. If you’re looking for a venue that is not only gorgeous but also run by truly incredible people, I 100% recommend Old Coon Creek Inn! They helped make our wedding unforgettable, and I know they’ll do the same for anyone who chooses them. Thank you, Jill and Pat, for everything!”

“Genuine people with a beautiful space inside and out to use that checks all the boxes. They are easy to work with and responsive throughout the planning process. Staff go above and beyond to make your big day perfect. The bridal getting ready room is beautiful and has everything you’d need. Having the onsite hotel was perfect and convenient for us and our guests. They added a grooms room to the hotel that was perfect for them as well. Also best wedding food we’ve ever had- our guests asked if they owned a restaurant because they want to eat their food again! We recommend this venue to anyone we have conversations with and plan to rent this space again for anniversaries to revisit and have a great time there again!”

“10 South is a BEAUTIFUL venue and made our wedding day perfect! The staff were absolutely incredible. From wedding planning, to day of organization, through execution they were flawless. Their little touches like holding the doors and directing guests made our experience extra special. Our coordinator Megan was a huge help and had great communication with us throughout the entire process. We used the in-house DJ, outdoor bar cart, lawn games, and several other add-ons through the venue. I would definitely recommend this venue!!”

“From the moment we toured Mercantile Hall I knew this was the venue for us. The brick, outdoor garden, and overall industrial vibe was exactly what I was looking for. Then, meeting the team solidified that this was our venue because they are all so knowledgeable, supportive, and positive. They are exactly who you want in your corner on the busiest day of your life. Beth was my coordinator (I highly recommend the luxe coordinator package) and she was AMAZING! She helped me with planning, getting organized, setting up a timeline, and supported me through the whole process. Then, once wedding day came I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Beth took care of everything and executed my vision perfectly. Additionally I used Merc Sound their DJ service and have to give a shoutout to DJ Terry! He was SO organized, detailed, and brought the energy. Having both DJ Terry and Beth running the most important day of my life kept me sane, relaxed, and able to live in the moment. Another aspect I love about this venue was the location. Downtown Burlington has everything you need for your weekend. When I booked Mercantile Hall it was primarily for the beautiful venue itself, but the staff and coordination blew my expectations out of the water. There is so much that goes on behind the seens and it is so important you have trustworthy, organized, and professional people working for you that day. I truly can’t thank or recommend Mercantile Hall & staff enough!!”

“We cannot say enough good things about The Brix and their team. From our very first tour to the end of our wedding night, they were knowledgeable and supportive. We chose some of our vendors from their recommended list, which was super helpful to have! Once you book your date, you are given a plethora of useful information. There were so many times we referenced this during the planning process. On the day of they are super helpful when your vendors get there.
