Meyer's Castle

5.0

Dyer, IN
  • Up to 325 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor

Meyer's Castle is a world class historic landmark set on a hill surrounded by beautiful manicured rolling gardens. Located only 35 minutes away from downtown Chicago (12 miles from the city's border), the estate's smallest room can host a minimum of 30 guests, while the largest ballroom can accommodate up to 325. ​ Our customized proposals are designed to reflect every client's taste, tailored specifically to their creative visions.

We recently got married at Meyer's Castle, and it was an absolute dream come true. My husband, Jeff, and I fell in love with this venue at first sight. We love how private and intimate it is. The castle is completely gated and surrounded by dense trees. You would never know that such an oasis exists just outside of Chicago. When you enter the gate, you drive on a long driveway to the top where you see the castle sitting on the hill. It's quite impressive and reminds me of destination weddings in Europe. The best part is that you don't have to leave the country. We decided to opt for the outdoor reception, which is their most expensive option because it involves a plan B in case of bad weather. The plan B was to host a reception in one of their gorgeous ballrooms. We could choose between two. However, the outdoor reception was so worth it. We were lucky enough to have a perfect sunny day without it being too hot. The venue's booking manager told us that September is their most popular month for weddings, and now I understand why—the weather was absolutely perfect. The team at Meyer's Castle was very friendly, professional, and always responded to our questions in a timely manner. It was totally worth it to hire their Month-Off coordinator, Kate. She was amazing! They also have a list of preferred vendors who they don't force you to hire but recommend based on their experience with them. We hired a photographer and a cake vendor from Meyer's Castle's list, and we were extremely happy we did. The venue's newly renovated bridal suite is cute and elegant at the same time. It has beautiful baby blue peacock wallpaper and a grand gold mirror. They actually have real peacocks living on the property, so the wallpaper in the bridal suite really fits the theme of the venue. This place is awesome. You can have both the wedding ceremony and reception at the same location, which is very convenient and stress-free. I don't like ceremonies in the church, and I would choose over and over to exchange my vows with my husband in the beautiful, green, lush gardens with birds singing around us.

White Pine Manor

5.0

Brazil, IN
  • Up to 100 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor

Our heartfelt desire is to provide an affordable and classic wedding venue that is limited only by your imagination. Every single decision we have made has been to provide the best wedding experience for you. Because we believe a marriage ceremony should NEVER be rushed, we provide you with 24 hours before your wedding day, your entire wedding day, and five hours the following day to decorate, enjoy your family and clean up. Our goal is to replace wedding stress with wedding joy. Your wedding day should be filled with love and family, not stress. This is our gift to you as you celebrate the joining of two families. We searched and researched to provide something unique and gorgeous. To provide the best atmosphere for photos, we collaborated with several photographers. This is the reason we chose to have a white interior and face east for optimal lighting and clarity of photos.

I can not express enough that Joann is a steward of celebration. It's truly a blessing to find someone who is not only dedicated to celebrate happy moments in life but also finds passion in it. A huge heart too, we felt so taken care of. She knows her community well and we were planning this wedding from out of state and her knowledge and links with the community were beyond helpful! We had our wedding during the Solar eclipse, there were some wedding crashers and she came just in time to save the day when they refused to leave! Like a super hero swooping in - but knowing her i'm sure she gave them some great recs. of were to also see the eclipse because she's just that kind! Just an amazing venue also - stunning. Just like a dream come true! I happened to be quite busy taking up as much over time hours i could. My husband did A LOT of the planning and Joann's communication with him was helpful and he felt confident in the communications. I wish I got to get to know Joann more when planning, but I'm so grateful that she was just as eager to work with the groom. Joann thought of everything and more! She had a barrel of blankets in case things got cold (april weather - we had snow just days before) and setting up the tables and sweetheart table. Just so kind and thoughtful. Our wedding couldn't have been better thanks to you Joann!

Crooked Creek Whitetails Estate

5.0

Fairmount, IL
  • Up to 300 guests
  • Limited services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $7,000

Crooked Creek Whitetails Estate is an elegant & rustic venue tucked away in the beauty of nature. Owners Randy and Kelli Marsh started Crooked Creek Whitetails, LLC in 2011 as a whitetail hunting preserve. Our mission is to provide a stunning, peaceful outdoor setting tailored to our guest's innovative event details, helping to make the occasion as perfect as they have imagined it!

Kelli and her husband were SO helpful. They did so much to make sure we had a perfect day and that everything looked gorgeous. Kelli was so creative at helping me pick out floral arrangements and décor (not my cup of tea) which took a lot of pressure of my shoulders as a bride. I was able to customize my reception so that it was still very elegant, yet outdoorsy. The convenience of having an outdoor dance floor was perfect for the beautiful September wedding we had. Guests were able to be indoors or outdoors and the elderly people were able to avoid the loud music if they wanted to, and there was plenty of space for everyone to move around. The entire property is such a beautiful place to walk around as well! From the lake to the wildflower field, there are TONS of great pic ops. As a bride that was very important to me and Kelli personally escorted my bridal party around as we got pictures anywhere we wanted on the property. Kelli was always prompt and friendly whenever I had any questions and overall both her and her husband made the whole process go smoothly. I can't recommend this place enough! By the time our wedding was all over, my husband and I felt like family and we can't wait to go back and visit!

First and foremost, every aspect and detail of the property is STUNNING. The beautiful scenery combined with their exceptional team, made our decision easy. Lauren and their team invested time in understanding our unique preferences as a couple and maintained consistent and timely communication throughout the process. They extended their support by providing recommendations for other vendors and valuable planning insights. Their readiness to address our questions and concerns was greatly appreciated. On the day of our wedding, their meticulous coordination was instrumental in ensuring that everything ran as planned. Our guests were exceptionally well-cared for, ensuring a worry-free experience while vendors set up. Furthermore, the attentive team ensured that both my husband and I were never without food or drinks.

The Barrel Room

5.0

Normal, IL
  • Up to 175 guests
  • Limited services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $7,000

An area once reserved solely for the practical application of aging beers, and on occasion for private beer dinners, we opened up this space for guests to host private events such as ceremonies, receptions, showers & rehearsal dinners. Located within DESTIHL Brewery, the Barrel Room is where you’ll find something unique. Our modern-industrial space is perfect for the craft beer experience, a place where you’ll be greeted with our warm hospitality, and an experience unlike any other in Central Illinois.

We really cannot recommend our experience with DESTIHL enough! We planned both an outdoor ceremony on the grounds, and our reception in the Barrel Room, and felt like we had the most wonderful wedding day with friends and family (especially impressive during the COVID-19 period). You simply cannot beat the quality of food and bar offerings that DESTIHL offers to its guest. That, accompanied by the exceptional service of all the staff we worked with on our big day, really made it such an easy day for us. The cherry on top of the service, is that the staff allowed for us to pull vehicles into a garage bay to leave our reception as it was pouring rain outside - they truly went above and beyond. We are so excited to be working with them again next year, for our full reception for our first anniversary!
