AMAZING! I don’t know where to begin… we used Pear Tree Estate for our daughter’s recent wedding and we were treated with the utmost respect from day one. Lauren, Annie and staff are extremely professional in every way! The venue and Concorde house are amazingly beautiful! LA Gourmet is top notch in the industry, the food is amazing! From the moment we started our day we were at ease. Every detail of the wedding/reception was what we expected and more. We never once felt rushed or overwhelmed as these ladies and their staff had everything under control. They truly are the real deal and they are without a doubt the best in the business. This venue is the perfect place for a wedding as it sets back in a beautiful country setting away from all the hustle and bustle of city life! It truly should be one of the top venues in Central Illinois. We could not have been happier with everything. They made our daughter and son in law’s day a magical experience that will never be forgotten!
Pear Tree is the absolute best place to get married at! They made the whole process so simple and the day went so smoothly because of them. Thank you!
We have the best service and coordinating of all of our vendors. All of our guests were raving that this was the best wedding they had been to and absolutely loved the venue. Would recommend to others for an excellent experience.
We always love events at Pear Tree, so of course, we loved working with the team to bring our wedding day to life! We appreciate all they did for us!
Cannot recommend them enough!!! Everything was PERFECT. Pear Tree is so well run that I felt like I’d hired a wedding planner.
Emily - our event coordinator - was AMAZING. She was so well organized, kept everything on track while also checking in with me to see what we needed/if we wanted any changes day of. Major kudos to Janae, Annie, and Caity who helped with the pre-planning and were both awesome and patient with all my qs.
People couldn’t stop complimenting the food - you get a ton of it and it’s all delicious. Many compliments to the chef (LA catering is who you use when you book the venue). The bread alone is to die for.
We had to move our ceremony inside because of the rain/heat index, and it was honestly even more gorgeous than outdoors. But there are so many great spots for photos because the property is so great. And it’s pretty close to downtown, which was perfect for us.
We got ready in the Concorde room - it makes the day so easy, is gorgeous, and is set up for makeup and hair - so I recommend that as well.
Pear Tree is worth every single dollar we spent on it. They helped us set up, had incredible decorations to pick from, and recommended the best vendors to make our lives even easier.
This venue was absolutely phenomenal. Not only is it gorgeous with beautiful water features, but it is remote enough that you are close to lodging while also feeling like you have your privacy. The staff at this venue are AMAZING. If I had to do the wedding all over again I would certainly choose them a million times over. They answered all my questions in a timely manner for months. They were wonderfully organized, highly professional, and they definitely know what they are doing. The food is FANTASTIC. Hands down the best wedding food any of our guests have ever had. The servers and bartender were immaculate and attentive. I really can't say enough good things about this place. The Concorde Room for onsite rental of getting ready space is vibrant, spacious, and perfect for pictures- my photographer literally gasped at the natural light. Pear Tree Estate made my wedding day a total dream come true. It was elegant, inspired, and dare I say I felt so freaking fancy with the way the staff waited on us. Absolutely perfect, 10 out of 10, recommend HIGHLY.
Having our wedding at Pear Tree was the best decision we made throughout the entire planning process! The facility is beautiful and is a great canvas for bringing many different wedding styles to life. Most of all, the Pear Tree / L.A. Gourmet staff is amazing to work with and are more than just your typical venue / catering managers. Annie, Lauren, and Janae were instrumental in the planning process for our wedding, answering thousands of questions I threw their way, recommending the best vendors, offering decorating advice, and working with us on bringing our foodie-centric wedding to life. Their attention to detail, love of food and community, ability to go above and beyond, and overall professionalism are second to none, and I can confidently recommend them for any event you're planning in the future!
Pear Tree Estate was the perfect location for our daughter and son-in-law to celebrate their wedding! Annie, Caitlin and Janae were invaluable contacts to answer all of our questions and concerns, and for advice, options, and continued, timely communication during the process. After postponing with them for a year due to the pandemic, they worked endlessly with us to pull it all together and make it a day to remember! In the end we had to move the ceremony there too...the room was spacious enough for social distancing yet felt intimate, serene and elegant in the moment. The grounds were beautiful for special wedding photographs too!
L.A. Gourmet Catering, the in-house food service served a delicious meal...guests complimenting it was the best wedding food they ever had! We chose the Steak Roulade and Chicken Pietro...SO GOOD! Everything served, from salad to potatoes, was delicious. We confidently recommend Pear Tree Estate and L.A. Catering as an outstanding choice for your special event!
I highly recommend Pear Tree as a venue and for catering. The food was delicious and the space is beautiful. We had our wedding here in the fall and it was lovely to have the venue surrounded by tall, dry corn. I still dream of the delicious mashed potatoes we had that night.
As a wedding photographer/vendor myself, I knew WAY before even getting engaged that Pear Tree was the place I wanted to get married.
Although the venue speaks for itself, the service and the heart of the humans that run it make it that much more special. Put simply, they love what they do and they do it the BEST.
I loved Pear Tree and LA Gourmet before I got married there but it holds SO much more meaning to me now.
100000/10 would recommend having your wedding ceremony and your reception at Pear Tree Estate.
I don't have enough good things to say about Pear Tree Estate. They literally made my dream day come true! The staff was attentive, sweet, caring, all from day one. From planning to executing they have weddings/events down to a science. Not a single thing went wrong!!! I never had to stress or worry about a thing, it was always taken care of before it could even cross my mind.
Many of my guests told me it was the smoothest, best run wedding they had ever been too. Seriously, I would recommend Pear Tree Estate for any all events!!!
So thankful to them for everything!!!!
This venue was fantastic on so many different levels. Yes the Pear Tree Estate and it’s grounds are absolutely gorgeous, romantic, and elegant. However, the impeccable service you will receive from the staff is beyond amazing. They are truly invested in you and your special day and feel like family members by the day of your wedding. There aren’t enough stars to truly reflect how awesome they are!
Their sister company, LA Gourmet provided the catering...and this experience was also fabulous. The food was WONDERFUL and the service again was impeccable. Our guests are still talking about how delicious the food was. Highly recommend the pork loin and those smashed potatoes...both to die for!
Pear Tree Estate was the perfect venue for our August wedding. Annie and her team are AMAZING to work with and so attentive to every little detail. Our guests still rave about the food from our wedding. You cannot go wrong here, Pear Tree really is the whole package! THANK YOU, ANNIE!
Absolutely gorgeous venue, incredible food and amazing staff. The staff was so responsive and helpful - really made planning enjoyable knowing they were taking care of everything and our wedding was just as beautiful as we hoped it would be. Between the big windows, fireplaces, waterfall and pond, it was so beautiful!! Just the perfect setting! And every single guest loved the food!!
One of the most beautiful venues in central Illinois no doubt. You can't beat their service either. The staff is so friendly, communicative, professional, and qualified. They have a really great team here.
We cannot say enough great things about Pear Tree Estates. The planning went so smoothly, they put a lot of time and effort into making sure our day was perfect. From the location, the food, the PTE crew, it was absolutely amazing! Pear Tree Estates is BEAUTIFUL!! There’s no place like it! Totally recommend
I can't say enough about how amazing Pear Tree Estate is. From the beautiful venue, to LAGC's amazing food, to the hardworking and awesome staff, this place really is a dream come true. I am so happy that my husband and I got married here, everything ran so smoothly and it wouldn't have been that way without the professionalism of Pear Tree. If you want a fairytale wedding, book your ceremony and/or reception here. You will NOT be disappointed!
Thank you so much to everyone at PTE who helped make our day perfect. Special shout out to Shaina & Haley for working so closely with me throughout the entire planning process. You two are awesome. Thank you again for everything!
This location is OUTSTANDING! The beauty of the building will blow you away. I had so many guests come up to me and tell me this was the most gorgeous wedding they have been to. Not only is it beautiful, but working with the staff was a dream! They make sure your day will run smoothly by meeting with you several times and going over every detail! Highly recommend!!!!
Absolutely well worth the money! Pear Tree Estates goes out of their way to ensure your day is absolutely amazing! I can't tell how impressed I was with the staff the day of. Everyone was extremely helpful and kind. There would be times I wouldn't have to ask for something because a staff member would already be next to me with a signature drink or an appetizer. :) The food and venue are still being talked about by my guests! My husband and I couldn't be happier that we chose to go back to the city where we graduated college instead of having our wedding in Chicago.
True experts! My goodness, where do I begin! My husband and I have worked with PTE to plan our beautiful wedding for 2 YEARS! We were planning all the way from Seattle and they did everything they could to answer questions, schedule phone calls (time difference!), and meet with us whenever they we were in town. Shaina answered so many of my questions and is such a calming person. Day of the wedding, I didn't need to worry about A THING. Pear Tree's staff are so helpful and did everything they could to make sure our day was perfect. Shaina & crew collaborated with our vendors to make sure our ceremony and reception ran smoothly. The day was absolutely flawless. They made the process exciting and fun. If you are able to, I would also highly recommend booking their house on site as well! Having a separate space to get ready & hang out really helped keep this bride relaxed and happy.
THE FOOD. Oh man. My guests told me it was the best wedding meal they have ever had. Those mashed potatoes are magical. So thankful my husband and I were able to sit down and eat.
If you are looking for an amazing venue, you've found it.
Extremely accommodating. Our reception was more than we could have ever imagined. I know the event staff were at our reception but barely saw them the whole night, we were having too much fun! They kept the flow of the reception going and there was never a moment of awkwardness. AMAZING location!
I planned my wedding from Seattle, and long distance planning is tough. But during my whole experience with Pear Tree, Shaina made communication flawless. I always heard back promptly and had any questions answered right away.
The venue itself is just beautiful. There are pine trees, a creek and pond, and the venue building gives off a classy lodge feel. Plenty of parking and very nice bathrooms for your guests! Definitely rent the house space to get ready in; your pictures will turn out perfectly because of the lighting.
Shaina was amazing during our dress rehearsal as she directed the bridal party and family for me. We love this venue and the team that helped make the whole process stress free. Thank you!
Great venue! Shaina was very helpful throughout the process and the reception turned out perfectly. The in-house catering was delicious!
If you're looking at anyone else to cater your event- stop right there and don't consider anyone else to cater your event except for L.A. Gourmet. They were absolutely incredible. I can't tell you how many times during our wedding I was told, "the food was PHENOMENAL. I've never had food this good at a wedding before." It was great to hear. The staff was so helpful, especially because rain ruined our ceremony and people had to come to the reception site for the ceremony, and they had to bust their butts to get everything set up in time. They worked quick & hard. They overheard me say I was hungry before the ceremony started, and a woman came up to me and said "what would you like? I'll make you a small plate so you aren't so hungry." It was the nicest thing, and saved me from being a bridezilla on the day of ;)
I had many guests tell me that this was the best wedding food they'd ever had. It was fantastic. My only complaint is that the dinner service seemed a bit slow.
As a vegetarian, I struggled with finding a caterer who would provide me with something more than veggie lasagna. L.A. Gourmet went above and beyond by creating a dish just for me! I wanted a dish with butternut squash (but ravioli was out of our budget), so they concocted a meal with pasta, butternut squash, cranberries and onions- it was amazing! We also heard rave reviews about the bacon-wrapped chicken all night. Everything was great!
