Historic Edwards Place 

5.0

Springfield, IL
  • Up to 75 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor

Edwards Place, built in 1833, was a social center of antebellum Springfield. In its gracious parlors Abraham Lincoln, Stephen Douglas, Ulysses S. Grant, and other Illinois luminaries gathered at elegant parties and balls. You, too, can have your special day in the same rooms where Abraham and Mary Lincoln were guests more than 150 years ago, now meticulously restored to the grandeur of their antebellum days. Edwards Place is available to rent for showers, weddings, and receptions – the perfect choice for a distinctive event in a historically significant setting. You can even include extra services for your event, such as the use of a piano often heard by Abraham Lincoln (and possibly played at his wedding!). Our rental space has three areas of possibility - the historic house museum, the grounds in front of Edwards Place, and the M.G. Nelson Gallery, a part of our parent organization, the Springfield Art Association, and directly attached by a doorway to historic Edwards Place.

The Edwards Place is a beautiful site! The staff were very helpful and flexible allowing us to visit the site multiple times, they were open regarding their seating arrangement, and due to the nature of the site it is fully decorated. The site was beautiful and the wedding was as well! The historic charm of the home added to the romantic feel of the day. I would recommend this site to anyone looking to get married as it is wonderful all around!

Venue 1929 was the perfect location for our wedding.

When we walked in the day of, everything was set up and ready to go just as promised. We were able to get the specific wines and champagne we requested without any issues. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, with charming exposed brick walls and lovely lighting. It really set the stage for our special day. I highly recommend Venue 1929 for any event - it's a gorgeous spot and the owners are true professionals who also happen to be very kind people.

My now husband and I had our micro wedding at One Twenty Six and it was more than I could have dreamed! The team was great to work with, they made my day feel so special! This venue was right within our budget and I would recommend it to anyone! For my wedding I’ve dreamed of something small and intimate where my husband and I can really enjoy each other. This was just the place for that!! Also, there were so many beautiful places to get pictures done! Even though it was small with the amount of photos we got back it makes it seem like a huge place! Loved loved loved that my big day was spent at one twenty six! So thankful for their team!

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.

We really cannot recommend our experience with DESTIHL enough! We planned both an outdoor ceremony on the grounds, and our reception in the Barrel Room, and felt like we had the most wonderful wedding day with friends and family (especially impressive during the COVID-19 period). You simply cannot beat the quality of food and bar offerings that DESTIHL offers to its guest. That, accompanied by the exceptional service of all the staff we worked with on our big day, really made it such an easy day for us. The cherry on top of the service, is that the staff allowed for us to pull vehicles into a garage bay to leave our reception as it was pouring rain outside - they truly went above and beyond. We are so excited to be working with them again next year, for our full reception for our first anniversary!
