ny/celebration! Also, their preferred vendor list helped us a ton in finding other reputable and amazing vendors for our ceremony. All of the vendors we chose came from that list, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out!

othing but the best customer service. Everything went just as planned and credit the staff there for everything they did for us. Was also recommended an amazing photographer and he did an amazing job too. I highly recommend anyone that is even thinking about having any kind of event here to reach out because you won’t be disappointed!

, and my wife and I love our wedding experience. We chose a small wedding with <30 attendees and the space was perfect: intimate, and a perfect blend of pastoral, natural beauty and historical charm. There is the estate house for indoor hosting, and an outdoor covered pavilion with a fireplace. Our wedding was in the spring and the budding trees and grazing deer in the yard were gorgeous.

ess about the weather. The staff was attentive and responsive throughout the process, making planning easy and enjoyable. We’re so grateful to Redfield for helping make our day truly perfect!

ful to work with, they accommodated our requests with ease and their recommended vendors were an absolute dream to work with as well. Every aspect from start to finish was wonderful at this venue and we felt so fortunate to have our special moment here at the Redfield Estate. Our micro-wedding and reception at this venue was highly praised by all of our guests. We would highly recommend anyone and everyone to have their special moment here as well!

with. Highly recommend!

had the ceremony at the gazebo and the reception in the pavilion. There was plenty of space in the pavilion for dinner and dancing for our 90 guests. In early October, the leaves were starting to change colors and although it got a little chilly at night, the pavilion had a fireplace and heaters that helped keep our guests comfortable. Deborah was so organized and helpful throughout our wedding planning process.

pressure of terrible weather while making us feel at ease. The communication, cleanliness, organization and professionalism were all top notch and Deborah was the selling point for us - she truly knows the business and is there to make the day truly perfect for the couples. We really wouldn’t have picked anywhere else for our big day.

ore special!

res. All of our guests found the venue to be lovely and they enjoyed walking through the property. Can't wait for our pictures!

rah and the staff we interacted with were kind, helpful, and organized. We worked exclusively with vendors that were on the Grove’s recommended list and we recommend those as well. Many of our guests have made comments about how beautiful the venue was. We planned our wedding on a relatively short timeline and it was nice that Deborah was attentive and organized. It was perfect! Thank you so much to The Grove.

ing with a large variety of vendors. They were very helpful in giving us recommendations for vendors as we were planning our wedding ourselves. The grounds and the estate are absolutely gorgeous. The grove was the perfect venue for us and was integral in us having the wedding of our dreams!

of the information that you need was provided, including other vendor information like their preferred caterers, and vendors that have worked at The Grove before. Communication was easy, the contract and all the information provided was clear and simple to communicate with our other vendors. Deborah worked very well with our wedding day of coordinator ensuring everything for our day was perfect and made sure we were happy with the venue and anything we needed. We recommend this venue to anyone who is looking for a beautiful outdoor area for their wedding. You would have a ceremony and reception site and beautiful grounds for photos and your guests. We received so many compliments for our venue and many of our guests were surprised that they hadn't known it was a wedding venue. The whole area is gorgeous and we had a magical moment when 3 deer came out for cocktail hour. We will always come back to spend time here whenever we can ❤️

ps, flowers, and bistro lights create such a romantic setting for memories and photos. Deborah and team are a joy to work with, everyone was so kind and detail oriented. Highly recommend!

ier grounds is noticable. It is clear that they love it too! The grounds are truly magical. Our guests all said that they felt transported to a different place and time. We are still glowing from the experience!

verywhere you turn. The twinkle lights in the tress were a delightful surprise when it got dark.

har, the venue supervisor was very helpful on the day of the wedding. We cannot express how polite, friendly, and easygoing she was! Char definitely calmed our nerves before the ceremony. We were planning to do the ceremony outside, but then at the last minute, it started to rain. So the staff at the Grove set up chairs very quickly inside before guests arrived. They turned a stressful moment into a non-issue. We were happy with the indoor ceremony, because the house is very beautiful too. Our reception was in the pavilion. It was perfect for our 55 guests. With 7 tables for guests, the pavilion appeared to be full. Everyone had to room to move around, but it didn’t look empty at all.

h, kept in touch with us to ensure that we were getting to her all the vendors to ensure that they are insured and able to do their job at this location, which does ensure a fun and safe night for all. The venue itself is affordable and comes with plenty of amenities, such as tables and chairs, fans, lighting, use of the historic home, etc. It can get pricey depending on which of their preferred caterers to go with; however, the caterers do know how to work this venue and do an awesome job of it. This is made pretty clear when we toured the grounds for our wedding reception. We chose The Grove because we were really able to customize our wedding reception experience, such as having amazing caterers, do a build your own bar, have a photobooth, etc. Our families and friends cannot stop commenting on how much of a good time they had. Thank you so much again!

vent coordinator and manager, Deborah Rabeor, was an absolute delight. Deborah’s expertise and warm demeanor made the planning process so much easier and more enjoyable. The venue itself is nothing short of amazing. The Grove Redfield Estate exceeded all of our expectations with its breathtaking beauty and charming ambiance. It provided the perfect backdrop for our special day, and our guests were equally impressed. Deborah was incredibly easy to talk to and consistently responsive to all our questions and concerns. Her ability to coordinate seamlessly with our other vendors was invaluable, and her recommendations for vendors were spot-on. Deborah's wonderful ideas and thoughtful suggestions greatly assisted our wedding planning, ensuring that every detail was perfect. We wholeheartedly recommend working with Deborah and The Grove Redfield Estate to all of our friends and family. Our wedding day was everything we dreamed it would be, thanks in large part to this exceptional venue and Deborah’s outstanding support. Thank you, Deborah, and everyone at The Grove Redfield Estate, for making our day truly unforgettable!

hing was exactly as expected. From the day we signed our contract through the day of our event the communication from the venue manager, Deborah, to all our other vendors was seamless. I would highly recommend the Redfield Estate as a venue for weddings or any other event.

and very communicative on the process. We have definitely recommended this venue to friends and family. As this is a hidden gem and am so happy we found it for our special day.

erfect backdrop. The house is beautiful, with ample accommodations for the bridal party, bar, dessert buffet, and even our traveling poet! The pavilion had more than enough space for our needs, and the grounds were the right mix of curated and natural. We even had a deer photobomb us! The staff was very nice and helpful before, during, and after the event.

was very stressful for us. She was always there when we needed her! The venue is beautiful!!! We loved how everything turned out!!

asked for a more picture perfect ceremony and reception venue.

s could not talking about how great the venue was.

led, & communicative with good recommendations for vendors.

charm while being affordable and conveniently located for those who live in the Chicagoland area, so basically the perfect wedding venue! And it absolutely works for small or large weddings. Nearly every time we mentioned Redfield Estate to someone when they asked about our wedding planning, they or someone they knew had attended an event there, and they would rave about how wonderful it is. Our photographer fell in love the moment she arrived. There are so many great photo opportunities. The beautiful craftsman home has the sweetest vintage-feeling rooms -- we loved all the pieces of history -- and the surrounding landscape is lovely. We chose to get married under the giant old oak tree on the front lawn and then gathered with family in the airy pavilion. It was perfect weather for a June day, but I honestly imagine Redfield Estate being a gorgeous, charming experience in any weather or season. The staff members are all so kind and incredibly helpful. Deborah, Lizzie, and Paul made us feel so welcome, supported, and taken care of on our wedding day and in the planning stages. If I ever had another event to plan or was recommending a venue to a friend, this would be the first place I think of!

off perfectly. The ceremony space is after a short path through the woods, and guests enjoyed seeing deer all during sunset!

with us. Only catch is the venue space is cheap but you have to use their preferred caters which make up for that cost. That said, only thing cheaper is a restaurant or brewery.

he vendors they recommended were superb. We were able to make use of so much space by having our ceremony at the gazebo, cocktail hour outside the estate, and reception under the pavilion. We loved that the setting was already so naturally beautiful and our guests raved about this unique and lovely venue, highly recommend!

he perfect setting for our special day in every way. The outdoor venue was a true oasis of natural beauty, surrounded by lush greenery, majestic trees, and colorful blooming flowers. The picturesque landscape provided a stunning backdrop creating an ambiance that was both romantic and serene. The venue's staff was exceptional, going above and beyond to ensure every detail was flawlessly executed. They were responsive, attentive, and accommodating, making the planning process smooth and stress-free. Their expertise and experience were evident, and their dedication to making our day unforgettable were truly appreciated. One of the standout features of this venue was the versatility it offered. With various scenic spots, we had the freedom to customize our reception to match our vision. Whether we wanted an intimate cocktail gathering first followed by an outdoor celebration under the pavilion, or a backup indoor plan in case of heavy rain, the venue catered perfectly to every need. Regardless of seasons this venue offers a wonderful experience to share with your loves ones. Not only was the venue aesthetically pleasing, but it also provided excellent practicality. The layout ensured smooth transitions from one part of the event to another, making it easy for guests to navigate and enjoy all aspects of our celebration.
