Summer 2024
10/10 would recommend! The venue is breathtaking and the barn is amazing! Kelly did a fantastic job. She always goes out of her way to make the day go smoother. She helped with the planning and keeping tabs on me. (Which was very helpful) If you want an outdoor wedding and the reception in a cool barn. This is the place to be!
Our wedding day 6/15/24
We had our wedding 6/15/24 at the blue stem farms and events. When I say this venue is breathtaking, it has everything you’re looking for in a rustic style barn. From the beautiful property to the barn this will make your wedding day even more special. Have to give a huge shot out to Kelly the owner, she is the sweetest lady you will meet. She made sure during the whole planning process to be by our sides. If you need to speak to her, she’s right there for you. On our wedding day she made sure everything ran smoothly. I cannot think of one thing that went wrong. She did a fabulous job ensuring everything was set up properly with the vendors. Highly recommend!
A dream wedding venue
I cannot express how happy I am that Bluestem Farm was our wedding reception venue. First, the venue is gorgeous! If you’re into the rustic look/theme, this venue is for you. The string lights and chandeliers throughout the venue are beautiful. The bridal suite was very la eggs and accommodating for the hair and makeup team as well as all the bridesmaids, mothers, and the bride. Kelly and her team work like a well-oiled machine - everything on our wedding night ran very smoothly, thanks to Kelly and her team following closely along to our timeline of the day and paying attention to all the details. It was a near flawless night, and it was the most unforgettable night of our lives. Everything was mostly packed up for us on Sunday as well, making our clean up quick and efficient. We would highly recommend Bluestem Farm for any wedding ceremony/reception in the northern IL/southeastern WI areas.
The most perfect venue!
My husband and I got married at Bluestem Farm and Events on June 1, 2024 and we had a more than perfect experience. From the start of planning all the way through the wedding day Kelly made everything flow seamlessly. Throughout the whole planning process Kelly made sure we stayed on track especially since she was our day of coordinator. She accommodated her any and everything we could throw her away. The venue itself was flawless. Although it rain and outing day, and we were disappointed we cannot get married outside. Kelly made sure to, make it look just as gorgeous inside the barn inside. The bridal suit was perfect for getting text with my bridesmaids, mom and even my 4 month old baby was able to nap peacefully in the bridal suite while we were busy taking pictures. There was also a groomsman quarters that the guys absolutely loved. The inside/outside style of the venue was perfect for a summer day and after the rain cleared up our guests were able to enjoy the fire pit area and mingle outside. Overall I would 100% recommend having your wedding at Bluestem. It is such a beautiful venue and I can’t imagine not having Kelly on our wedding day. She made everything go so smoothly and we couldn’t be more grateful.
