Upscale hideaway near Chicago: quiet and secluded, it's a great place to slow down and be pampered during your wedding. It's pricier compared to other venues in the area, but this place truly offers a "get what you pay for" experience.

Fair Oaks Farms was a nice venue for our wedding, though their communication style was a bit minimal on the actual wedding day. The quality of their work and value was very nice - the servers were attentive and helpful throughout the evening. However, when our official reception time was up at 11pm, the staff turned on all the lights and rushed us to gather our belongings and vacate the reception hall immediately. This made the end of our special night feel a bit abrupt and hurried. Overall, Fair Oaks Farms provided a pleasant setting for our wedding, but could improve the communication and transition at the end of the night.

i got married May 25th, 2024 at the design barn! from the food to the space itself to Alex (coordinator)…everything was perfect. this wedding venue was the first one we looked at when we were hunting but NOTHING came close to the design barn. its charm and decor fit perfect with my vision and made pictures perfect. its now 4 months later after the wedding and we STILL get the best compliments of having the best food people have ever had at a wedding (yes the short rib ravioli is THAT good-thanks Chef!) i love the space 1) for the men to get ready because that was very important to have everyone together the day of and 2) having two bars meant no waiting for drinks so everyone can get back to the dance floor and enjoy the night! i recommend this place x 100 for anyone wanting a stress-free, gorgeous day or night of celebration!

I cannot recommend Thornton Distilling Company enough. Kim, the event coordinator, is incredibly responsive and a pleasure to work with. The space is unique and great for a small to mid-size wedding. Our pictures were fantastic and that's largely because the venue itself is such a cool space. We got a lot of compliments on the food and the chef is also a pleasure to work with. I would consider using them again in a heartbeat for future events.
