Why You'll Love This Place

A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
  • Set at the edge of the Fox River, this elegant event center is housed in a historic building constructed of natural stone, oak, and brick. The interior is set across two distinct levels which can be rented separately or together depending on your vision and guest count—all warmed by three gorgeous fireplaces.
  • A picturesque riverfront ceremony site boasts panoramic vistas of the Fox River Dam, easily flowing to an al fresco cocktail hour on a nearby patio surrounded by abundant native prairie grasses. Just steps away you'll find The Herrington Inn and Spa—a perfect spot to kick off the honeymoon. Some packages even include your overnight guest room!
  • The affordable all-inclusive pricing provide immense value and endless flexibility. For a classic, formal affair, opt for an exquisite multi-course dinner; for something more intimate or price-conscious, there are a range of generous brunch, luncheon, and off-season options. Whatever you choose, you'll be treated to elevated rentals, open bar service, and custom desserts.
