iful and completely decorated with all things country chic! We had approximately 200 guests at our reception and it felt very comfortable and roomy in the barn the entire night. The location is perfect as it is surrounded by cornfields finishing off the country feel. I highly recommend checking out Southern Charm Venues for your wedding reception!

I'm a DJ in the Chicago land area and have seen just about every venue in the area. Last weekend was my first time at Southern Charm and I was blown away. The venue itself is a per...
fect mix of rustic ad elegant but what really sets it above and beyond are the owners, Terri and Jerry. I watched as they went the extra mile for the newlyweds, all day long. Jerry was there before I arrived at 1 PM and left with me at 12:30 AM. The business is family run and they really care about providing you with the best. Check it out! You will be sold on the building AND the service!
