A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- This sweet, family-run venue occupies a beautiful spot in southern Illinois, boasting lush meadows, a sparkling pond, mature shade trees, and a lavish, climate-controlled indoor space.
- Indoor/outdoor celebrations can be held in the pretty whitewashed barn, which features an attached covered patio that opens to a courtyard just right for lawn games.
- Choose from their wonderful collection of décor—table settings, cupcake ladders, chalkboards, golf carts, and more—all of which can be rented to help your wedding reflect your personal style.
