We had our wedding reception at the Boone County Museum of History on July 6 and it was absolutely one of the best decisions we made in the entire wedding planning process! I grew up going to the museum and we had guests coming up to us all night telling us it was their first time there and how excited they were to see the museum for the first time and how they wanted to come back and spend more time there, and people saying they wanted to spend all night looking through the exhibits. The gallery space was perfect for our 125 guests and there was plenty of space to set up our buffet table, dessert table, and the bar on top of that. There was even enough room for a dance space near the entryway! The museum staff were absolutely the best throughout planning, answering all of our questions right away and helping us to figure out the layout when the time came. We were able to have plenty of personalized touches throughout our decor and our setup, and the staff even allowed us to set up a personalized scavenger hunt throughout the exhibits to find items we'd chosen based on our relationship. The Boone County Museum of History is 100% the best value for a wedding venue you could find in the area and is an absolutely gorgeous and special venue for any of your events, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding venue in the Belvidere-Rockford area!

From the beautiful property to the barn this will make your wedding day even more special. Have to give a huge shot out to Kelly the owner, she is the sweetest lady you will meet. She made sure during the whole planning process to be by our sides. If you need to speak to her, she’s right there for you. On our wedding day she made sure everything ran smoothly. I cannot think of one thing that went wrong. She did a fabulous job ensuring everything was set up properly with the vendors. Highly recommend!

The BRIX on the Fox represents two venues. The flagship Two-Sixty, provides ample room for 75-320 guests and the Industria, for 50-200 guests. Both venues overlook the graceful Fox River. Both "The Two-Sixty" and "The Industria" are separate event venues. Each venue is divided into your main reception and bar area, prep kitchen, bridal suite, restrooms and coat check.

We had our wedding at the Elgin Country Club and were thrilled with how smoothly everything went. Booking with them was easy - Christine, their event coordinator, was great about responding to emails and calls promptly. The recent renovations to the venue made it the perfect, elegant backdrop for our big day. On the day itself, Christine and the staff were on top of all the little details so my husband and I could just focus on soaking in the moments. The flow for our first look and the reception went seamlessly thanks to their coordination. It was clear the team cared about making our wedding special and memorable. The value for the beautiful venue space and service was fantastic. I'd highly recommend the Elgin Country Club for any couple's wedding or special event!

Through the years we have had the privilege of being a part of beautiful Christmas Memories and have been honored to play a small role in your Weddings, Receptions, & Family Celebrations for over 40 years!

Almost all of the wood in the building was grown and harvested from our older trees, which makes our Lodge very unique. A beautiful Field Stone Fire place greets you as you walk in. Homemade wooden top tables, field picked grapevine with lights, onsite parking, patio area for lawn games and natural trails throughout the grounds provide you with the perfect private celebration. We are located approximately 12 minutes from Beloit, WI, 25 minutes from Rockford, IL . Both of these amazing Cities have lots of options for your guest to be entertained and accommodations to stay!

11/10 For Ellie and her staff they were super easy to work with. They helped us along with our questions and concerns for our Dream wedding. Super accommodating to our vision and needs very helpful during the set up process before, during and after our wedding. The venue was amazing there is not one thing we would change about our experience with them. Don't plan on needing another wedding venue but we'll be back for our 25th anniversary!!!
