We got married at Mercantile Hall on 11/2/2024, and it was an absolute dream! The coordinator packages are worth every penny—Stephanie stepped in during the final weeks and went above and beyond, she and the staff even brought drinks to the head table and our parents during dinner. The in-house services are so convenient, and the new getting-ready suite is gorgeous and perfect for a relaxing morning. The entire team was incredible throughout our two-year planning process—fun, professional, and detail-oriented. Every vendor had told us how amazing they are to work with, and they see why as they executed our day flawlessly. The venue is stunning, spacious yet intimate, and our guests haven’t stopped complimenting it. Merc. Sound handled our DJ, and Nate was fantastic! **Bonus for pet parents: Merc is pet-friendly, and our pups were so welcomed, making the day extra special. Mercantile Hall exceeded every expectation and made our vision a reality. Worth every dollar—highly recommend!

My partner and I just got married at Illinois Beach Hotel and I could not be happier. Kellie who runs the events was very kind and accommodating. Especially in the month leading up to the wedding, communication was clear, quick and consistent. The price could not be beat. We actually added a welcome dinner and farewell brunch because it was more affordable than comparable venues we viewed. It was wonderful for our guests because they could stay right there at the hotel and also enjoy time on the beach. All staff we encountered were kind, helpful and professional. Kellie helped organize the vendors and helped us get everything set up. In addition, the reception space in the ballroom has a beautiful view of the lake. The food for all three of our events was delicious. Our suite was clean and beautiful. I highly recommend this venue if you want a beautiful beach wedding at an affordable price that is convenient for out of town guests.

My husband and I had the wedding of our dreams at Eagle Park! We ended up renting out the entire space for our 300 person wedding. We had a sweetheart table up at the front of the eating space and were able to look out at our guests on the main floor and then up at those sitting on the balcony. We brought in a DJ and live band to dance the night away! The staff was amazing - we had a few meetings leading up to the day and they handled all of the set up and table decorations. Our wedding was in late June, so we were able to utilize their patio space, as well. Food was amazing - everyone was raving on the mashed potatoes and beef!

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!

I recently attended a wedding at Dresden Castle for a close friend, and having been looped into much of the planning, I can confidently say the venue and its team exceeded expectations. The space itself is breathtaking—historic architecture, stained glass, and vaulted ceilings that give the entire event a sense of timeless elegance. It’s rare to find a venue that feels both grand and intimate, but Dresden Castle strikes that balance beautifully. The garden area was especially memorable for photos and quiet moments between the ceremony and reception. From what I observed and heard throughout the planning process, Jason and Alex were outstanding partners. They were responsive, organized, and genuinely invested in making the day seamless. Their flexibility with vendors, clear communication, and calm presence during setup made a huge difference. They anticipated needs before they became issues and handled last-minute adjustments with grace. The amenities were modern and well-maintained—sound system, WiFi, private rooms for the wedding party, and a layout that flowed naturally from ceremony to celebration. The staff were professional and courteous, and the bartenders kept everything moving smoothly without ever feeling rushed. As a guest, I was impressed. As someone who saw the behind-the-scenes effort, I was even more so. Dresden Castle is a gem for couples who want a venue that’s visually stunning, logistically sound, and run by people who truly care.

Milwaukee, WI

The Box is a wedding venue with a modern and industrial feel based in Milwaukee, WI. Its blank-canvas aesthetic makes this an ideal space for couples who want to bring their own sense of style to their wedding celebrations. This urban, adaptable space is full of raw charm, and the design possibilities are endless. The venue can accommodate both ceremonies and receptions. Located in downtown Milwaukee and featuring an abundance of Cream City brick, The Box feels like pure Milwaukee. The open-concept floor plan, large windows, polished wood floors, and soaring ceilings create a beautiful blank canvas that to-be-weds can tailor to any vision. Whatever your taste, the building’s neutral palette will allow you and your partner to fill the space with your personality. The Box runs its own bar service, and couples can work with the venue to customize a package that meets their needs. This contemporary, industrial space provides a beautiful backdrop for one-of-a-kind celebrations.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Provides catering services
  • Has onsite accommodations
  • Provides a dedicated team on-site

Venue considerations

  • Does not allow pets
  • No on-site bridal suite
  • Not wheelchair accessible
Where do I begin?! We had our ceremony at the Doubletree Hilton and wanted a space for our reception close to the hotel, but without spending an arm and a leg. We booked The Box for our wedding reception in June and everything went perfectly. We were looking for a venue that was affordable and not over priced, no food/beverage minimum, minimal setup, timeless and beautiful, and that could accommodate our guest list of 75. The Box checked alllll of these boxes. I love that we were able to arrange the space how we envisioned and choose our own caterer (we used BelAir Cantina). Jamie worked with us to select a bar package that was extremely reasonable and fit our budget. We felt zero pressure during our meetings and Jamie assured me her team would make sure the space looked lovely, and she was right! We saved money on decor by using The Box’s candles and some lamps they provide, and we brought bud vases with flowers in for table decor. They had all the tables set and ready to go for my personal assistants to set up the little details (bud vases, signage, card box, etc). Both Jamie and Jaime were a delight to work with and made sure we felt comfortable and happy. They were both very responsive and answered all of my questions. I felt like they truly cared about helping to make our wedding day successful and that meant so much to us. There seemed to be plenty of street parking and I know a few guests utilized the parking garage kitty corner across the street with no issues. 10/10 would recommend The Box for a wedding reception or any event for that matter. This space has so much potential and they can help bring your vision to life. I am so happy we chose The Box to celebrate our marriage with our favorite people!! Also downtown Milwaukee and the riverwalk are within walking distance and are PERFECT for photos, even in the rain.
