Eli's is a local coffee chain, and this one in Mackinaw is just a 7-minute drive from our ceremony location, Mackinaw Valley Vineyard. Could be a great stop for morning coffee before the ceremony! There's also one in nearby Tremont.
The community of Peoria Heights has a small downtown area with shops, restaurants, and some coffee. On the weekends, you can also get a ticket up the red tower in Tower Park for good views of the Illinois River valley.
