There’s a reason this venue has only 5 star reviews.
My husband and I got married here on 10/4/24, and it was nothing short of magical. We toured many venues, but when we came across The Farm at Dover, we were immediately sold. The attention to detail on every inch of the grounds is like no other. Several guests asked how we found this venue as they were in awe, just as much as we were. My bridal party and I stayed in the bridal house the night before, our ceremony was held outdoors, and the dinner and reception were held indoors. Our guests and loved ones got to experience the fairytale that is the Farm.
Tom was phenomenal in response time & answering any and all questions I had during the planning process, which kept the stress levels low and my confidence high that our wedding was in the best of hands. We hope we can return as guests someday or maybe a vow renewal!! 😉

Beautiful and magical venue! It’s hard to find anything comparable in the area. Tom and Juan are fantastic. Tom is responsive, informative and accommodating. He is a pro! Our day was perfect and couldn’t have been better. There’s just something about that place, especially at night. It’s like a fairytale. We got SO many compliments on our venue choice. Would do it all over again if we could.

What a dreamy, romantic venue! We fell in love with the Farm at Dover and nothing else compared or came close. The amount of detail and thought that Tom and Juan put into the venue is incredible and makes it stand out from other barn venues. We loved the vintage vibe and it went perfectly with our wedding vision. Tom was helpful throughout the planning processes and he was always available for questions, offered advice on vendors and made everything very easy for us. Juan was amazing day of and was there to help if we needed him!

Wow just wow!! I don't even know where to start. This was my dream venue. The owners Tom and Jaun are wonderful. They had great communication the whole time leading up to our wedding day. Tom and Juan were on site the day of our wedding to make sure everything was set up and ready to go. The staff at the farm also did a great job the day of. The venue is amazing the whole property was so beautiful. They have a ceremony area, a place for the groom and groomsmen to get ready also a huge house on the property for the bride and bridesmaids to get ready and of course the beautiful barn. On the website for the farm at dover you can see photos of everything and they have wonderful resources and recommendations for vendors to help you plan your for your wedding day.

I cannot stop raving about The Farm at Dover after having the wedding weekend of my dreams. The venue is a real life fairytale- Tom and Juan's meticulous care and eye for detail is around every corner and this made it easy to keep things simple and let the venue shine through. Even with rain, we were able to create the most beautiful day. We also stayed at their lake house, Dover at Eagle Lake, and the property was just as stunning. I would recommend this venue over and over. I hope to be back one day for another wedding!

This venue is such a magical place. Tom and Juan have been a dream to work with over the last two years while planning our wedding. Any questions we had were answered promptly and they really do anything they can to make your day perfect. The venue itself is stunning, plenty of different areas around the property to take great pictures. Everything is so well organized and carefully thought out. The bridal house and groom's cabin were definitely a plus, it also made the planning of the day easy since everything is on the same property. Everything was exceptional, our day was absolutely perfect.

Not only was this venue exceedingly beautiful, but Tom and Juan were amazing to work with. They were a constant guide and resource and were always responsive to our questions and concerns leading up to the event. On the day of the event, everything went so smoothly that we could not have asked for a more beautiful or well organized wedding. Carly was outstanding as our wedding day coordinator. The word among the bride and groom’s friends was that this was the best wedding they had attended. We would highly recommend The Farm at Dover. The details matter. Thank you to Tom, Juan and Carly!!!

I recently had my wedding at The Dover in Septemer of 2023.
The location is just breathtaking beautiful.
There is so much landscape, which means endless imagination for pictures with an amazing background.
I had the privilege to enjoy the ceremony site outdoors, we got the most perfect weather for our wedding. It's nicely shaded and provided such a wonderful scenery for the ceremony. The farm itself was a perfect combination of rustic and elegance. Our most popular question from our guests was "How did you find this place!?"
All our guests loved the location. I loved having two different floors to set up our reception. It definitely helped keeping this less crowded but it flowed beautifully.
In addition, being able to have the 'man cave' and Victorian house to get ready with our bridal party.
Working with the owners was also seamless and I appreciated all their support.

RUN to The Farm at Dover to book your wedding now! We cannot say enough good things about the farm and the staff. We got married in early October and this venue is an absolute Gem! Such a perfect fall venue, so many unique spots for pictures. The vibes are incredible, and Tom and Juan are even better! They are so responsive, accommodating and were there every step of the way to make our day special. Our guests were complimenting the space the entire night! We live in Chicago and would highly recommend The Farm for anyone looking for a super unique and beautiful venue.

The Farm at Dover is THE PLACE TO GET MARRIED! We had our October wedding there a few weeks ago and it was pure magic. Tom and Juan are absolutely amazing. They are so communicative, helpful and really work with you to make sure your vision comes to life. We had the rainiest wedding day, but that didn't stop the venue from looking absolutely breathtaking. Tom and Juan worked with us to do an indoor ceremony and quickly flip the space for our reception. The number one compliment I got from our guests was how unique and special the venue was. This venue and their staff are incredible. I could not recommend more.

The space is stunning and has such a cool, rustic/woodsy vibe to it. We had so many compliments from our guests how unique and pretty the venue was. Our whole experience was just perfect, and Tom and Juan were such a pleasure to work with! We had the best day and made so many memories here, I highly recommend the Farm at Dover!

I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue. This venue is stunning in every single aspect. The grounds are green and beautiful, the Victorian house is eclectic and picture worthy and the grooms cabin is so unique. The barn is absolutely breath taking. We haven’t stopped getting complements. Tom and Juan were so easy to work with and exceptionally accommodating. They were around the whole wedding which was amazing to see. They have curated such a wonderful wedding day experience I can’t put my happiness into words. Emails would be answered immediately and all our needs were perfectly accommodated. I wanted a fairy tale ceremony in the forest and that is exactly what I got here. The pictures came out so stunning no matter where they were taken on the property. Thank you so much Tom and Juan!

I came across the Farm at Dover in 2019 when I first became engaged and I guess you could say it was love at first “internet” sight for me. And I just couldn’t let it go so when we finally visited the Farm in March of 2022, we knew it was the place for us.
We just had our wedding there on 5/6/23 and it was just as we imagined!
Carly, our wedding planner from Everafter, Tom and Juan, the owners of the Farm…..we can’t thank you enough. It was such a wonderful day.
Our guests keep saying, “that farm is magical” and it’s the absolute truth.

My daughter got married at the Farm at Dover on 10/22/22. To say we had the perfect venue and the most amazing experience would be an absolute understatement. I first toured the venue with my daughter after she had put down her deposit. I saw all of the pictures online, however, there is nothing compared to the feeling you get when you drive up. My first word that comes to mind is, enchanted. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous, especially at the end of October. Tom and Juan went above and beyond to not miss a detail to ensure everything ran smoothly. The gift left on the counter of the brides house was just the perfect touch to make it very personal and special. The brides house for pictures is amazing. There is not a corner in that house to be missed for a beautiful picture. We are still having guests message us saying what a great time they had and that it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to. Tom and Juan have made this a dream spot for a wedding and a magical place for a lifetime of memories made.

We got married at The Farm at Dover in early September 2022. We toured and booked in early 2021 and from the start Tom and Juan were very communicative and accommodating when we had questions or needed to visit the venue during our planning process. Tom offered guidance when we asked for direction or suggestions, and communicated clearly what was and was not possible for our big day. The space was amazing. The ladies enjoyed getting ready in the farm house in the morning. The guys used the cabin to get ready and then the whole party hung out in the cabin prior to the ceremony starting. There's a plethora of great photo locations, we did our best to utilize as many different looks as possible, from the stonewall garden, to the vine covered walls of the silo and the grain barn, each spot was uniquely picturesque. Our vision was to have all portions of the day on site and the Farm at Dover offered just that. We had the ceremony in the beautiful clearing in the back, followed by a cocktail hour on the lawn and the lower level of the barn. The reception in the upper level offered ample space for dinner, dancing with the added space for cocktails on the deck. Our caterer was chosen from their prefered vendors list and so there was already a good understanding of how they were to operate in the space, which made for a smooth day in regards to catering. The bartenders were very pleasant and provided efficient service. The venue team was also very helpful when it came to directing guests upon arrival, where to park and how to get to the ceremony site. We have nothing but good things to say about the venue and their staff. They were kind, patient and overall cool, calm and collected throughout the entire process! We can't thank Tom, Juan and their team enough for making our day so special.

We had our wedding on 10/08/22 and it was spectacular! The Farm was the first and ONLY venue tour we took. The reviews describing it as magical are spot on. Not only is the venue beautiful, the staff are incredible. The responses from Tom are so QUICK! HIRE CARLY! She was the best day of wedding coordinator and I couldn't have done anything without her. She was the BEST, if you aren't sure if it's worth the money, this is your sign, it is. The personal touches by the venue are one of my favorites. From beginning to end, I didn't have to worry about a thing and that is all I wanted on my wedding day. Thank you so much for making our day incredible!

We cannot even begin to describe how incredible our experience was at The Farm at Dover!! The venue is absolutely breathtaking, with character and charm in every corner. The attention to detail and impeccable taste Tom & Juan have is undeniable. I fell in love with The Farm at Dover as soon as I arrived at the venue for the first time. It was an absolute dream come true. Tom & Juan were so kind, quick to respond, and their list of recommended vendors made us feel so confident with our choices from the very beginning. We also stayed at The Pink Farmhouse and The Dover at Eagle Lake lakehouse, and both were incredible. Every guest was blown away by this gorgeous, one of a kind venue. If you are looking for a rustic, beautiful barn venue and wonderful hospitality, look no further. Thank you!!!

This is such a gorgeous wedding venue. We were looking for a “rustic barn” in Wisconsin, and this was by far the best of the best. From the beautifully kept barn, to the gorgeous outdoor ceremony area by the willow trees, to the numerous places to walk around and explore during cocktail hour, the pink victorian bridal house, rustic groom’s hunting cabin, etc etc. This place has everything fun! Tom and Juan are the best and able to accommodate your special requests without adding additional fees. They will certainly make you feel special on your wedding day, and we were so lucky to find this place!

Wow, where do I even start!!!! From the first time I pulled up to the venue I knew it was a special place! I came home and told Jay that I found the place and that we don’t need to look anywhere else. Nothing compared to this venue. The ceremony site is so romantic, the grounds are beautiful and the inside of the barn blew my mind. Jay finally came to see the venue with me and right away he said this was the one before even stepping foot inside the barn . The farm at Dover brought our dream to reality. Not only is this a beautiful venue but Tom and Juan(the owners) go above and beyond. So polite, so accommodating and very fast to respond to anything we had a question about. They are the best!! I can’t say thank you enough for helping us throw the best party of our lives.

My husband and I had our vow renewal here in June 2021. I can't say enough good things about Tom, Juan, the staff, and the beautiful venue! They were so insightful, helpful, and responsive throughout every step of the planning process. They made everything go smoothly and handled so many details behind the scenes that couples would never think about. Their eye for beauty really shows in the gorgeous house, gardens, and barn. I wish I would be invited to a wedding here, so I can go back and experience it from a guest's perspective!

My daughter had her wedding on June 26, 2022. She was looking for a rustic yet elegant venue. She saw The Farm at Dover as a possible location. Seeing she was working out of State at the time, she asked my husband and I to go and see it. After our tour with Tom, we told her not to even consider another place. The Farm is historic and beautiful! Everything is maintained perfectly including the gorgeous old Victorian Farm house, which the bride and her maids used for preparations. Tom and Juan made everything perfect for us. They were friendly and easy to work with and were accommodating to everything that we needed. And their little “extras” for the bridal couple were greatly appreciated. Thank you Tom and Juan for a beautiful day. The memories will last forever.

I assisted my daughter in planning her DREAM wedding at The Farm at Dover! She was living in CA, and asked that my husband and I scout a few outdoor venues in the area that she had researched. The grounds, the barn, and the home were all so well cared for, restored, and styled in such a magical way. There are several barn venues in the area, but nothing compares to this property. I have worked in professional conference planning for over 25 years, and Tom, Carly, and the entire staff are a pleasure to work with, and I highly recommend this venue for your special day. Very professional, kind, accommodating, responsive, and helpful are just a few words to describe the planning process working with Tom. We used many of the preferred vendors on their list, and we were very pleased with the recommendations as well.

We got married at The Farm at Dover after having to postpone a year due to the pandemic. Throughout the whole process, Tom and Juan were kind, supportive, and just made me feel at ease. The first time I toured the barn, I knew I had to get married there. The grounds and attention to detail are impeccable and I didn't see another venue that could compare. We had a lot of out of town guests at the wedding and the number one comment was how beautiful the venue was. Most guests said that it was the most beautiful venue that they had ever been to!
This is truly a special place and Tom and Juan are special people who made my wedding day the best that it could've been. I will be forever thankful towards them and their beautiful barn.

Our wedding on September 25th was the most perfect day we could have imagined and it was all thanks to Tom, Juan, and the rest of their crew! Not only were they very responsive with my numerous questions they provided phenomenal recommendations as well. We received so many compliments on the natural beauty of the venue and ceremony area. My now husband and I couldn’t imagine a more perfect day and would recommend this venue to anyone and everyone!

We got married at the Farm at Dover on 10/17/21.
This venue was absolutely stunning and it was everything I could have ever dreamed of for our wedding. From our very first meeting on September 2020, Tom and Juan were amazing. They were great to plan with and were very accomodating with last minute wedding planning issues. Every detail, from the pink house, to the grooms cabin, the barn, the gardens. Everything was breathtaking. It was the best decision we made. Thank you for a beautiful wedding Tom, Juan and the rest of the Dover team <3

Our daughter and son-in-law's wedding at the Farm at Dover early this fall was exactly as special as they hoped it would be. The venue is gorgeous: quaint, charming and modern all at the same time. Tom is extremely accommodating and very responsive, and the work he and Juan have put in to this lovely venue is clearly evident at every turn. We are so happy to have chosen the Farm at Dover. We could not have asked for anything better.

We absolutely could not have chosen a better venue than the Farm at Dover. Not only was everything about the location gorgeous- many of our guests described it as something out of a fairytale- but Tom and Juan were incredible to work with, going above and beyond every step of the way.
Like many others, we had to delay a year due to Covid, and they were incredibly understanding and accommodating. They were extremely responsive to e-mails, answering all of our questions up to and even after the wedding. They went above and beyond with the little details, and made an effort to accommodate all of our requests. Can't recommend the venue more!

The Farm at Dover in one word is magical. From the moment we arrived for our tour, I knew this venue was the one. Stepping foot on the grounds is like transporting yourself into a storybook. Each step leads you towards another adventure with new details to discover and mysteries to unravel, with hidden gems speckled throughout; a whole day would still not be enough time here to discover them.
Our guests raved to us about the thoughtful layout. From the beautiful walk starting at the parking lot to the barn, and then the barn to the ceremony site, there are hundreds of places to get “lost” along the way.
Tom and Juan, I felt your love for the Farm in the way every small detail culminated into a story or an experience. I can’t thank you enough for your help in making our day the best it possibly could have been. Our wedding was pure magic as was our stay in the lake house! Thank you again for your part in our story.

Where do I start?! It's been a long time spent with Tom and Juan having to reschedule our date from 2020 to 2021 due to Covid. They were so easy to work with and quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had throughout the last couple of years. They were accommodating to all of our requests without hesitation and we truly had the best day - it was worth the wait we were forced to take! Our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful the entire place was - inside and out. Us girls got ready in the Victorian home and we were left with a beautiful set up of champagne and snacks and plenty of space to get ready. Everyone involved in our day - whether a guest or part of the wedding was impressed and so touched by the beauty of this place. Tom and Juan, your dedication to this place is truly recognized and we have you to thank for making our day everything we wanted it to be! No bride or groom will be disappointed with the decision to book this venue.

We had our wedding in July 2021 and i have nothing but the best things to say about this venue! When my husband and I first arrived on the property for the first time, we knew this was the place! Tom and Juan have done wonders maintaining and decorating this pottery and there are endless little details that leave you in awe. Every single one of my guests mentioned how wonderful the Farm at Dover was and I would recommend this venue to anyone! So easy to work with and very accommodating!!

The Farm at Dover is a DREAM venue! It is absolutely gorgeous, so unique, and Tom and Juan are the best. There is lush greenery everywhere and almost every single person at our wedding told me how magical it was. The pink bridal house is so charming and was perfect for the girls to get ready in - there was plenty of space and has such a vintage charm. The grooms cabin is a cool, rustic space for the boys to get ready in, with two floors and awesome decor. We did our first look in the stone bordered garden and the photos turned out phenomenal. The barn itself is also gorgeous and the attention to detail across the whole property is incredible. Tom and Juan are gracious, and accommodating hosts and helped us feel so comfortable and confident that our day would be perfect - they really made everything feel seamless and easy. It's also a relatively quick drive from the city and was super easy to get there, while at the same time feeling like you're in a totally different fairy-tale world. I wouldn't change a thing about our experience here and would highly recommend booking!! 10/10!!

We had our wedding at The Farm at Dover in May 2021 and it was the absolute most perfect day!
We were originally supposed to get married in Chicago, but less than 2 months out, we decided to move our wedding out of state to Wisconsin. We came across The Farm at Dover's website and I said to my now husband "there is no way this place will have availability." Luckily, and to my surprise, the only date they had available in 2021 was our wedding date! We reached out immediately and scheduled a tour that weekend, and fell in love with the venue the second we pulled up.
It is the most beautiful, intimate space with the most incredible attention to detail everywhere that you look. Tom and Juan put so much thought into every aspect of the venue and their expertise really shows - I couldn't believe we found such a perfect place for our wedding. We were actually more excited about The Farm at Dover than we ever were about our original venue in Chicago.
We were able to utilize all of our vendors from Chicago, and Tom and Juan were so accommodating, responsive and easy to work with throughout the stressful process of moving a wedding less than 2 months out!
The day of the wedding was nothing short of incredible. The champagne provided at the Farm's lake house where we were staying, and the special gift from Tom and Juan in the bridal house while we were getting ready were a huge surprise and SO thoughtful.
We had such a blast at our wedding and wish we could do the day all over again because it was so much fun! We are so grateful to Tom & Juan and everyone at the Farm at Dover for making our wedding day better than we ever could have imagined. I would recommend this amazing venue to any couple in the Chicagoland area!

Farm at Dover was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. We had a wedding scheduled for May 30, 2020 and had to postpone it another year because of the pandemic. While this was a nightmare, Tom and Juan made this transition more bearable. They were consistently responsive (literally within hours), accommodating, and flexible. They were kind, gentle, understanding, and super patient with my loads of questions and insecurities. As an anxious bride, these qualities were gifts; and I am so grateful that they were my wedding vendors. They are truly a delight to work with.
The farm itself is magical regardless of what aesthetic you have. It has an elegance that is difficult to articulate, but all the love and care that Tom and Juan put into it, definitely shows. The space is centering and peaceful and exactly what any wedding ceremony/celebration needs.
I am still figuring out ways to book something here again because I loved collaborating with Tom and Juan. I obviously recommend this place to any bride; and despite the remote location it is in, it is well worth it all :)

You would (or I would have) thought that replanning a wedding in 2.5 months would have been incredibly stressful. Not when you replan it at the most beautiful, thoughtful and accommodating venue. The Farm at Dover took our breath away as soon as we pulled up - the impeccably restored historic barn, Victorian bridal suite (a home that looks like it would be featured in Architectural Digest) and insanely cool and fun groom’s cabin had our jaws on the floor. The owner greeted us and couldn’t have been more friendly, communicative, & supportive. The team didn’t miss a beat or beautiful touch making our wedding planning process and day of perfect. We honestly feel that our wedding was meant to be there from the start and see it as the biggest silver lining to this past year. We will forever be thankful and smile (even tear up) when thinking of our experience and unmatchable memories.

From the moment we first stepped onto the property, we knew we had to get married here. The rustic barn and well-maintained gardens and grounds were breathtaking. The pink house and groom’s cabin were perfectly decorated and provided the space needed to get ready on our big day. Tom, Juan, and their staff were absolutely wonderful to work with. They did a walkthrough with us the day before the wedding and made sure to address any comments or feedback we had and they were available the day of to address any last-minute changes with ease. They were happy to set up a private champagne toast for me and my husband immediately following the ceremony. You can tell that they are passionate about what they do and they genuinely care about your special day and making it the best day ever. Our day was absolutely perfect, and we couldn’t imagine getting married anywhere else.

Our experience at The Farm was exceptional. Tom and Juan are wonderful people and great to work
with. When we ran into some trouble with our caterer, Tom was quick to respond and was able to give a
great suggestion on how to handle the issue. They were also very accommodating as we visited the
venue several times before our date.
The venue is top notch as well. The attention to detail in every aspect of the farm is mesmerizing. We
felt like we were at a 5 star resort the entire time. The Victorian home is an awesome place for pictures
and the girls loved getting ready in there. The groomsmen cabin is great as well and another cool place
for some pictures.
We had a great time and a wonderful experience. We would recommend anyone to have a wedding at
The Farm at Dover.

This place is magical. We recieved compliments from every guest on this venue. Tom and Juan are professional, responsive and helped create the wedding of our dreams. The bridal house is gorgeous and impeccably clean. Bonus was they take care of the groomsman too as they have their own cabin. We would 100% recommend this venue to everyone we know.

If you want a unique wedding venue The Farm at Dover is your place. Anyone who doesn’t get married here is missing out. The Venue is absolutely stunning and the owners and staff are beyond amazing to work with. We just got married there, during the pandemic, and Tom & Juan (the owners) were nothing but supportive and helpful through out the process. They were phenomenal especially with the added stress of Covid. They made it easy.
Our guests have not stopped talking about how much they love the venue. They can’t stop talking about all the different places to go and discover on the grounds and the uniqueness of the space. The meticulous attention to detail. The landscape is BEAUTIFUL and very well taken care of. It was beyond the best day! Everything we could have asked for! Beyond happy with our wedding day because of everyone at the Farm who made it happen. Love! Love! Love! You all should definitely get married here!

I literally have nothing bad or negative to say about The Farm at Dover. Every single one of our guests have raved about the how beautiful and unique the venue was! Everything was picture perfect for our wedding day. Tom & Juan are the nicest guys we've ever met! From the first tour, to the end of our wedding. They have been an absolute joy to work with, and I hope to see them in the future! They think of just about everything you could ever need and their attention to detail is why we fell in love with our venue. They were so patient when I changed my mind 100 times and they did everything with a smile. I wish I could go back every year & relive the best day! Tom, Juan, and Carly, thank you so much for all you did to help make our dream wedding a reality! We will cherish our memories, and our "thank you" gift every day, Thank you!!

It has been almost a month since our wedding and I am still in awe/speechless at the wedding that we had at the Farm at Dover. It was my favorite day of all time.
Not only did Tom, Juan & the Farm at Dover staff make it so easy for us to enjoy the actual day, they made planning a breeze. They were in constant communication with us, answering all questions with care and kindness. Tom & Juan are not only exceptional at the logistics part; what they built, designed and curated at the Farm at Dover is like nothing you've experienced. They have such impeccable taste and have filled every inch of the farm with personality and an experience you and your guests will never forget. So many places to get lost, so many nooks to explore. I was very excited to marry my partner, don't get me wrong, but I was even more excited for all of our loved ones to celebrate us HERE.
I could go on and and on, but the best decision in planning your wedding is to build upon a venue that not only has personality and will amaze your family and friends, but also one where the people behind it make you feel like a close friend. The Farm at Dover is a place I'm so grateful to always be associated with for the rest of my life, it is so much more than I could have ever hoped for in our wedding.

This venue has a unique beauty. From start to finish they were great to work with. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a barn wedding. The barn itself is beautiful and all of the surrounding areas as well. It isn't far from Chicago and an easy commute.

We couldn’t be happier with having our wedding at the Farm at Dover last summer! The owners Tom and Juan are fantastic and did everything possible to ensure our wedding was the best day of our lives. From the very beginning, they were so nice and accommodating, and it was clear how meticulously they care for every last detail on the property. We were very thankful that they even thought to spray for mosquitos! The barn and surrounding grounds are absolutely breathtaking, and we especially enjoyed the many unique places on the grounds for photographs and for our guests to explore! The grooms quarters and the bride’s house were both perfect to escape the commotion and to freshen up in advance of our ceremony (also great for pictures). The lower level of the barn was set up for a rustic cocktail hour and the 2nd floor worked beautifully for reception and dancing. We were worried it would get hot inside the barn during the summer but the large barn windows allowed a very refreshing breeze to come in. We would highly recommend Farm at Dover for any couple looking to get married in a gorgeous rustic location.
