Meyer's Castle 

5.0

  • Up to 325 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor

Meyer’s Castle in Dyer, Indiana, offers a unique and historic venue for weddings. The castle-like architecture and beautiful gardens create a romantic and enchanting setting. Guests appreciate the attentive service and flexibility to customize the space to suit their wedding vision. The professional staff ensures a smooth and memorable event, from planning to execution. Meyer’s Castle provides a fairytale-like venue with historic charm and modern amenities.

We recently got married at Meyer's Castle, and it was an absolute dream come true. My husband, Jeff, and I fell in love with this venue at first sight. We love how private and intimate it is. The castle is completely gated and surrounded by dense trees. You would never know that such an oasis exists just outside of Chicago. When you enter the gate, you drive on a long driveway to the top where you see the castle sitting on the hill. It's quite impressive and reminds me of destination weddings in Europe. The best part is that you don't have to leave the country. We decided to opt for the outdoor reception, which is their most expensive option because it involves a plan B in case of bad weather. The plan B was to host a reception in one of their gorgeous ballrooms. We could choose between two. However, the outdoor reception was so worth it. We were lucky enough to have a perfect sunny day without it being too hot. The venue's booking manager told us that September is their most popular month for weddings, and now I understand why—the weather was absolutely perfect. The team at Meyer's Castle was very friendly, professional, and always responded to our questions in a timely manner. It was totally worth it to hire their Month-Off coordinator, Kate. She was amazing! They also have a list of preferred vendors who they don't force you to hire but recommend based on their experience with them. We hired a photographer and a cake vendor from Meyer's Castle's list, and we were extremely happy we did. The venue's newly renovated bridal suite is cute and elegant at the same time. It has beautiful baby blue peacock wallpaper and a grand gold mirror. They actually have real peacocks living on the property, so the wallpaper in the bridal suite really fits the theme of the venue. This place is awesome. You can have both the wedding ceremony and reception at the same location, which is very convenient and stress-free. I don't like ceremonies in the church, and I would choose over and over to exchange my vows with my husband in the beautiful, green, lush gardens with birds singing around us.

The Barrel Room 

5.0

Normal, IL
  • Up to 175 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $7,000

An area once reserved solely for the practical application of aging beers, and on occasion for private beer dinners, we opened up this space for guests to host private events such as ceremonies, receptions, showers & rehearsal dinners. Located within DESTIHL Brewery, the Barrel Room is where you’ll find something unique. Our modern-industrial space is perfect for the craft beer experience, a place where you’ll be greeted with our warm hospitality, and an experience unlike any other in Central Illinois.

Destihl has always had a special place in my heart, but my husband and I were blown away by how perfect it was for our wedding venue. It was the perfect mix of relaxed/elegant, and we had so much fun. Our reception was in the barrel room, which is beautiful and full of character on its own. We appreciated that the food options were very similar to Destihl's restaurant/brewery menus and made with the same care and attention to detail. As craft beer lovers, we were really excited to have a large selection of Destihl’s own beer for guests, but also wine and spirit options as well. We received compliments all night about how unique and delicious the food and drinks were. By far my favorite part of our wedding at Destihl was the staff. They approached our wedding with so much professionalism and hospitality. Amanda, the event manager, was organized and on top of everything. She was incredibly responsive and even reached out at certain time points to check-in and make sure all my questions were answered. Destihl uses an online portal to track everything, which was extremely helpful during planning with all the wedding logistics and vendors. Everyone was so attentive and helpful, which made for a great experience. I feel very lucky to have had our wedding here.

Engelbrecht Farm 

5.0

Paxton, IL
  • Up to 220 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $5,000

Engelbrecht Farm sits on 8 acres and is located in the heart of farming country. A very unique structural features of the barn is the opening to allow guests to be seated to two levels and both levels can look at the head table for a gallery type feel. The other unique feature is its size. It is the largest actual barn (not modern structure that looks like a barn) within multiple states at 4500 square feet. Adjacent to the barn is the old 4000 square foot feedlot with flower garden and iron pergola. Late in the day makes for a great spot for outdoor games. With the barn comes the recently restored, three bedroom farmhouse originally constructed in the 1890’s. One amazing aspect for the wedding package is it’s a standard three day booking. Families arrive on Friday and check out on Sunday. This gives them time to relax and take the whole experience in. Plus the time is spent making their wedding their own. This is the place for imagination and creativity to really shine.

My husband and I had our wedding reception at Englebrecht Farm last September and had to change many details last minute due to the pandemic. Chris was extremely flexible and understanding of our situation. He helped us safely plan our dream wedding and made sure everything went perfect for us. The barn is original, rustic and absolutely beautiful. You can really make it fit your vision with your decorations, lights, etc. You get access to the barn and farmhouse for the entire weekend of your wedding which takes out a lot of the stress and time constraints that usually occur. I can’t say enough good things about this place and the people who run it! If your looking for a rustic wedding venue in the area that is just down the road from a brand new hotel and several local businesses for your guests to enjoy, I highly recommend Englebrecht Farm!
