Ashley Farm

to answer any questions that we had. On the day of our wedding, Amanda handled EVERYTHING. She made our vision happen without us lifting a finger or worrying about a single thing. Amanda, you rock!! Thank you for making our day the absolute best!! We are so thankful for you and Ashley Farm for helping make our wedding truly reflect us 💛

icious the food was and how beautiful the venue was. Amanda provided great advice and ensured the entire day went smoothly from putting the decorations up to monitoring the timeline and preparing everything to be put into our cars at the end of the night. This venue provides everything needed from chairs, to linens, to bar and food services making the day as low stress as possible for us!

oordinator, but she was so much more. She helped me through the entire year planning; answering my millions of questions, and she did so much for us that I didn't have to hire a wedding coordinator. She kept everyone on track and time on our actual wedding day, she set up all of our decorations, table numbers, seating chart etc - she really goes above and beyond and is the absolute sweetest. As for the venue itself - it's gorgeous. We had our wedding ceremony outside and it was perfect. Cocktail hour was on their patio by the bar, which everyone loved, but the reception barn really steals the show. It is two floors - do not be deterred by the two floors (I was initially, but it is not an issue at all) - our guests who sat up there said it was great, and we got a lot of cool dance floor shots from up above as a bonus! The venue is simply stunning on it's own. The food is outstanding. All of our guests raved about it and just the beauty of the venue. Everyone kept asking "how did you find this beautiful place?". I would get married here again and again. Highly recommend.

o the end she made sure everything ran smoothly. I absolutely love this place! Thanks again guys

is family owned. You can definitely see how much pride they put into the events they have. We could not have asked for a more perfect day! It rained a lot in the afternoon before our ceremony and the staff did not skip a beat, they went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect and change our ceremony location. Amanda was such a joy to work with and made us feel calm and relaxed every meeting we had leading up and on the day of. She is such a hard worker and we received so many compliments from our guests on her professionalism/dedication as well as how wonderful the venue was! Thank you Amanda & Ashley Farm for the most amazing wedding!

into the barn truly gave us that fairytale feeling! Many of our guests mentioned to us that this is the most beautiful venue they have ever been to. There are endless spots to take photographs, and we couldn’t have been happier with how everything came together! The food was delicious! They did an amazing job setting up all our decorations! From getting ready in the adorable bridal suite, to ending the night with smores at the bonfire- the whole day went perfectly! The staff, and the family who owns the farm, are just as incredible! The two coordinators, Ashley and Amanda were both so kind, patient and helpful throughout the entire process. The day of the wedding went perfectly thanks to the entire staff at Ashley Farm. They worked together seamlessly, and were so organized and on top of everything. We primarily worked with Amanda, and she was the BEST coordinator! She promptly answered all of our questions leading up, and kept everything running smoothly the day of. She was there every step of the way, and was always so friendly and helpful. She really paid attention to every little detail! She even worked with us on tweaking the bar menu so that we could add White Claws to our package! We were so grateful to have her help! The most amazing part was how accommodating they were. My husband and I booked our wedding for 2018, and that year I became very sick. It took months for us to figure out, and the entire time we were in communication with Ashley & Amanda, and they were SO understanding and empathetic to our situation. They told us not to stress- they’d hold both our original wedding date, and one for the next year, until we figured it all out. We did end up having to postpone our wedding, and they not only let us reschedule, but they even put our original down payment towards our new date, AND honored all of the 2018 menu pricing. I can’t even begin to tell you how much that meant to us. I don’t know that any other venue would have done that.. they were so wonderful to work with, and we were truly blown away by their kindness towards us during an already difficult time. Choosing Ashley Farm was the best decision that we could have made. We could not recommend them enough!! You will NOT be disappointed! I can only hope every couple gets to have the amazing “dream wedding” that we did with this venue. Thank you Ashley Farm!!!

friends and family talking about how beautiful our venue was and how delicious the prime rib was for dinner that night.

ions (indoor and outside) where the ceremony could be. The house was great for the girls to get ready in and the boys enjoyed the garage space. Everything was beautiful and set up exactly as I had envisioned or better! Rachel was great to work with and answered my thousands of questions along the way. :) The outdoor bar area is separate from the dance floor, so we did wish that was more cohesive so guests could enjoy both at the same time, but both areas were still beautiful. Thank you!

! It is months after our wedding and we still have guests telling us how beautiful the venue was as well as how amazing the food was!! Amanda and Ashley were the absolute best ever and made the day flawless! We could not have asked for a better venue with a better staff!

s only been open a year, they have thought of everything. Our wedding was the first of the season, yet there were no visable kinks. The staff did everything in their power to ensure that everything was perfect, and it was. The farm itself is beautiful, but all of the special (and thoughtful) personal touches that go into the planning made it magical. We would highly recommend reaching out to Ashley or Amanda if you’re considering a rustic farm wedding. Many family members and friends have reached out to tell us that it was one of the best venues they have ever been to. It was a dream come true!

uick to respond to our concerns, and genuinely enthusiastic in wanting to help make our day what we hoped it would be. We got married on the 12th rainiest day in Chicago-land's history, with a tornado watch to boot, but our day still was more beautiful and wonderful than we could have imagined. Throughout it all, Ashley and her staff worked tirelessly, keeping up a positive attitude, and overcoming every hurdle the weather threw in our direction. One of the great things about the interiors of the barns at Ashley Farm is that they are a striking backdrop for photos if the weather is not allowing for outdoor ones. We were thrilled with our photos in both the ceremony and receptions barns as well as the farmhouse and Gasoline Alley. The only concern our parents brought to our attention later was that the appetizers ran out at some point before everyone had gotten some. We were able to confirm that they had provided the amount we had agreed upon. Ashley was very open to talking over this following our wedding, and was already brainstorming ways it could be prevented in the future. We suspect that because all of our guests had to stay in the reception barn instead of milling around the other areas, the appetizers went more quickly than normal. I would highly recommend Ashley Farm or Whitetail Ridge as a venue. I know I would do it over again with them in a heartbeat.

ember 22 and people are still talking about how unique/amazing Ashley Farm is. The food and service were excellent as well. Ashley was very helpful during the entire planning process and never failed to make me feel very calm during wedding chaos. I wish I could add pictures to this review to show you how beautiful the venue was for our big day! I highly recommend this venue and the entire staff for your next event! Thank you again!

had a great time and I would recommend ashley farm to every rustic bride and groom!!!
