Our shared hometown and one of our favorite places to spend time together! Downtown Geneva is full of charm, history, and small-town magic. With its cozy shops, amazing restaurants, and scenic streets perfect for a stroll, it’s the kind of place that feels like a Hallmark movie (in the best way). Whether you're grabbing a bite, shopping for something special, or just taking in the river views, it's definitely worth a visit.
If you’re looking for a sweet treat while you're in town, we highly recommend stopping by our favorite ice cream shop - a place that’s been part of our story since high school. From late-night scoops to sunny afternoon dates, it’s been our go-to spot for years. Try our favorites (Drew’s a mint chocolate chip lover, and I can never say no to jamocha!) - you won’t be disappointed!
Just outside of 3rd street in Geneva, this cozy dine-in spot has become one of our go-to places for amazing Mexican food. The dishes are authentic and full of flavor, and the drinks (especially the margaritas) never disappoint. With a warm, welcoming atmosphere, it’s a great place to sit down, relax, and enjoy a delicious meal with family or friends.
This relatively new gem in nearby St. Charles has quickly become one of our go-to date night restaurants. With delicious Italian dishes, cozy ambience, and great drinks, it’s the perfect place for a romantic dinner or a fun night out with friends and family. If you’re in the mood for pasta, wine, and a cozy atmosphere - this spot delivers!
Looking for a quiet moment before the festivities begin? Fabyan Forest Preserve is one of our favorite places for a peaceful morning walk. With scenic trails, river views, and lots of natural beauty, it’s the perfect spot to stretch your legs, clear your head, or just soak in the calm before the celebration. A hidden gem that’s especially magical in the early morning light!
This shopping center has a little bit of everything - tons of great stores, a few restaurants, and plenty of spots to just hang out and people-watch. It’s the kind of place where you can grab a coffee, do a little shopping, and lose track of time (we definitely have over the years!). Bonus: it's the perfect place to swing by if you forgot a piece of your wedding guest outfit - we've all been there!
This local bowling alley has been one of our favorite hangout spots since high school - so many fun memories (and very competitive games) over the years! It’s a great place for both kids and adults to have a blast. Whether you’re a pro or just there for the snacks and neon lights, it’s always a good time.
Looking to swing into some fun? Topgolf in Naperville is a great spot for casual competition, tasty bites, and hanging out with friends. Whether you're a pro or a first-timer, it’s all about having a good time - no golf skills required!
One of Drew’s longtime favorite places to tee off! Mill Creek is a scenic and well-kept course that’s perfect for a relaxing round with friends or family. Whether you're a serious golfer or just there for the good vibes and fresh air, it's a great local spot to check out.
Another one of Drew’s go-to golf courses when we're back in town! Tanna Farms offers beautiful views, wide fairways, and a fun challenge for golfers of all levels. If you’re looking to squeeze in a round while you’re here for the wedding, this one’s a must.
