White Stone Events is a private 20-acre estate located in Sugar Grove, surrounded by expansive landscapes that create a peaceful, secluded setting that is just 40 minutes west of downtown Chicago. With nearby interstate access, the property feels worlds away while remaining easy for guests travel.
This pristine estate includes three distinct venue spaces, allowing you to personalize your celebration and create a seamless flow from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception. Many couples choose to host cocktail hour in one building and dinner and dancing in another, offering a truly elevated guest experience.
Alpha | Seats 250. Refined and Spacious.
Bravo | Seats 120. Full of Character with a Classic Elegance.
Charlie | Seats 150. A Contemporary, Art-Forward space.
White Stone Events accommodates up to 250 guests and offers multiple indoor and outdoor settings, making it ideal for weddings of every size and style. As guests arrive, they are welcomed by beautifully manicured grounds, an elegant backdrop for a romantic outdoor ceremony. Indoor ceremony options are also available for those who prefer the comfort and sophistication of an indoor setting.
Alpha offers 6,300 square feet of thoughtfully designed space, complete with soaring 18-foot ceilings, oversized sliding doors, elegant black-and-glass garage doors, and convenient indoor restrooms. This striking venue showcases a refined modern aesthetic and accommodates up to 250 guest.
Smaller gatherings of up to 120 guests can be hosted in the Bravo building, a 3,600-square-foot venue originally built in the 1940s. This refined space features four sets of sliding doors, beautiful chandeliers, original architectural woodwork, indoor restrooms, and an impressive open-beam ceiling. The adjoining patio showcases three elegant fire features, offering a lovely setting for guests to enjoy the evening outdoors.
Charlie welcomes up to 150 guests within a contemporary setting highlighted by a unique art installation behind the generous corner bar, indoor restrooms, and exposed architectural beams. A spacious patio with romantic lighting and two built-in fire features enhances the ambiance for outdoor gatherings.
Each of the three indoor spaces has been thoughtfully designed with its own unique character, giving you the freedom to choose one, or seamlessly utilize two, for a beautifully tailored event experience.

inely committed to making our day as special as possible, always responding quickly and thoroughly to any questions we had. Their support and positive energy made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. The venue itself is stunning, offering warm, rustic charm and plenty of space for guests to relax and enjoy. We had around 200 guests, and the layout was so well-designed that there were no lines at the bar and everyone could move comfortably throughout the space.
The staff (shoutout to Lisa!) managed the event seamlessly, keeping everything on schedule and handling last-minute adjustments with confidence and enthusiasm. Their flexibility and professionalism ensured everything went exactly as planned. The open, picturesque property provided incredible sunset views that made for unforgettable moments and beautiful photos. Parking was easy, and thoughtful accommodations like golf cart transportation helped guests with mobility needs fully enjoy the celebration.
Overall, this venue delivered an unforgettable experience thanks to both its breathtaking setting and the outstanding team behind it - we couldn’t have asked for a better place to host our wedding!

KARI AND THE WHITE STONE TEAM!! We had an absolute BLAST having our wedding ceremony and reception here. Kari was our day of coordinator and when I say she was on top of everything...
, I mean EVERYTHING. Our whole day, Kari and her team made sure we were happy, excited, and taken care of. The venue as a whole was GORGEOUS and exactly what we were looking for. White Stone Events was the first venue we toured, and we could not get the venue and team out of our heads when picking our venue. If you’re torn between places, or looking for a venue where they are hands-on with making sure you feel comfortable and confident, White Stone Events is definitely the venue for you. Thank you all so much!

We cannot say enough amazing things about White Stone Events and the incredible owner, Kari, along with her wonderful team! They hosted our wedding with such kindness, patience, an...
d attention to detail that it felt like they were part of our family. We had an extremely tight timeline, with less than two weeks to plan, yet Kari and her staff went above and beyond to make everything flawless.
The space itself was warm, intimate, and beautifully unforgettable, creating the perfect setting for our special day. Despite the short notice, every detail was handled with such care that it was impossible to tell we hadn’t been planning for months. From the moment we reached out, we felt like people, not just a number. Kari made sure that every one of our needs and wishes were met, and her staff was just as wonderful—friendly, accommodating, and genuinely invested in making our day as magical as we had dreamed.
Thanks to White Stone Events, our wedding was perfect beyond words. If you’re looking for a venue that not only offers stunning spaces but also treats you with warmth and genuine care, this is the place. Thank you, Kari and team, for making our day so remarkable and stress-free! We’ll forever be grateful!
Sincerely Mr. And Mrs. Clark

I literally could write for an hour or two and still not be able to tell you everything that was so wonderful about working with WSE. They were well organized, available, kind, and...
definitely make you feel like family. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, and photographs very well. We took advantage of the recent upgrades to Alpha and it was a fantastic space; big enough to comfortably accommodate our 150-ish guests, décor, dance floor, buffets, memory table, etc, but still felt intimate. They coordinated well with our outside vendors and I appreciated that we weren’t limited in our vendor selection. They made a lot of things just work without stressing us out at all. The setup for my caterers/servers was excellent and accommodating. The Romeo suite was so much fun for the groomsfolk, but the Juliet suite was an AMAZING amenity. The salon chairs and backlit mirrors were so convenient for my HMUA. The suite was comfortable and roomy despite the zillion people I had coming in and out. The full kitchen (particularly the full size fridge/freezer) was super nice to have. We had our ceremony on the west lawn, which was absolutely beautiful. They also were very enthusiastic and accommodating about letting us get some photos with our dogs and incorporating them into the ceremony. One of the most notable things, though, was how well they handled adapting to my and my guests’ mobility needs. Several of my older family members use walkers and were worried about the walking or the grass and they all felt very accommodated and cared for and were able to enjoy the day. I myself have a disability that affects my ability to walk and stand for very long; this was no problem for them. They shortened the aisle for my ceremony, knew exactly how to create a beautiful ceremony where both we and our wedding party were seated, and they put a lot of mileage on those golf carts getting me and my family where we needed to be safely and comfortably. I cannot recommend White Stone strongly enough and I would have every event there if I could.

When we stopped by to tour White Stone Events in July of 2022, we walked into an unfinished wedding venue and somehow it felt like HOME! White Stone is a new venue which is going t...
o be such an asset to Sugar Grove, IL For years to come.
Kari, Lisa, Debbie and the entire team at White Stones makes you feel like family the moment you step onto the property. We watched their vision for their Alpha barn come to life for over a year and the day of our wedding, they did not let us down! The barn is so rustic and beautiful and the perfect setting if you are looking for a barn wedding. Their property is themed to go along with the local Sugar Grove airport with call signs as the name of their barns (Alpha, Bravo, Charile). The grounds are well cared for and photograph beautifully. The bridal and groomsmen suite are such a nice touch for photos and space for the bridal party to congregate before the big day begins. There are multiple spaces on the property for different sized events and their outdoor spaces with firepits and string lights are such a nice touch. The barn is located back into corn fields so you really feel like you have the entire property to yourself! This is more of an a la carte wedding venue so you are free to bring on and choose from your own vendors.
The White Stone Team made our day so easy and carefree. Everything was set up perfectly and they are beyond wonderful to work with. I would highly recommend using White Stone Events for any event you are looking to host- but especially for your wedding day!

We just had our wedding at White Stone Events. Kari, Lisa and Deb, and the team are absolutely fantastic at what they do and we have nothing but good things to say.
We are grateful...
that we clicked with them and they welcomed us as family the first day we checked out the venue. Their creativity, the attention to detail, the professionalism - they have it all. Even with all of the moving parts of our wedding day, they were a hundred percent supportive from end to end of the event. If it also helps anything, they have beautiful views from the fields to the various looks of the barn (which they put a lot of work into!) Bottom line, this is THE place to hold your events. This is the team you want to work with. Don’t bother to consider other options!! Nothing but love for their entire team!
