Life O Riley

Life O Riley is a venue in Murphysboro, IL, hosting weddings and events. This rustic barn property is a charming destination, nestled on a quiet estate near Kinkaid Lake on Ava Road. Surrounded by breathtaking pastoral scenery, it offers a tranquil retreat for unique and memorable occasions. Life O Riley invites couples to start their special day by making a grand entrance through their historic tree-lined drive. This old road was once a popular merchant route known as the Mudline Railroad and retains some of its original characteristics. Their nature-filled grounds offer multiple spaces ideal for hosting your ceremony. The romantic bridge across from the island is perfect for larger gatherings, with ample space for seating and an elegant ceremony arch. The pool area and pavilion outside the estate house are more intimate, perfect for elopements and micro weddings. After you tie the knot, you can explore the endless photo opportunities with your photographer, maybe even spotting a deer peaking out from behind a tree. Later, you can reunite with your guests for a chic dinner reception in the barn theme event center. Expansive and versatile, it features double-height ceilings, exposed wood beams, a neutral color scheme, and contemporary-style chandeliers. Here you can enjoy a romantic meal on round tables, followed by an evening of music and dancing beneath the stars. Choose Life O Riley to transform your special day into something extraordinary. The team encourages you to reach out for a friendly chat and book your guided tour of the venue.
