Barrack's Cater Inn

o have two rooms of guest tables, but once people started to dance, it did not matter as much. We chose to have meals served at the tables which helped keep it feeling less crowded. The staff was prompt with serving tables. They did a wonderful job cutting the cake! Unfortunately, they did not adjust the A/C properly, and with the summer sun pouring in the windows, it resulted in extremely uncomfortable high temperatures indoors and many complaints from guests. Especially by the windows where the head table sits! We were unable to use the outdoor deck because of the swarms of mayflies from the Illinois River. The river flooded out the parking lot, so guests had to park far away. I never thought about the river to be flooded during our wedding, but it was flooded for many days before and after our wedding. The river clearly cannot be controlled by the staff, but with the venue located on the river, these things can happen and should be considered when choosing your venue. Other major disappointment, they failed to make any of the requested vegetarian meals, including mine (the bride). I was very clear about the number of vegetarian meals and I stressed the fact the bride was one of them. Despite failing to make multiple vegetarian meals, they did not refund any of the money.

ty was amazing.;They tell you more people can be seated then what really can.
