We will be having both the wedding ceremony and the reception at Haven on the Farm in Edwards, IL. The address for our venue is 6221 US-150 Edwards, IL 61528.
Guests should park in the guest parking lot behind the OSF Healthcare Franciscan Prairie Center. Turn right on Trigger Road. Before you get to the venue take the first right and follow it all the way back to the parking lot behind OSF Healthcare Franciscan Prairie Center (5901 W War Memorial Dr, Peoria, IL 61615). There will be a small sign in front of the parking lot entrance. A charter bus will pick you up from that parking lot and take you to the venue. When you leave, the charter bus will pick you up outside of the venue and take you back to the parking lot.
We recommend that you should arrive at least a half hour prior to the start of the ceremony, to make sure everyone is on time and we can get the party started as scheduled! Please note that you will need extra time to park and use the shuttle in order to be transported to the venue.
Yes! If you have booked a room at the Wingate hotel under our wedding block, the hotel shuttle can take you to and from our wedding. This allows you to celebrate the night with us and not have to worry about driving afterward!

You can upload the photos using the QR code that will be on the back of the information card on your dinner plate. We would love to see them!
