Wild Onion Brewery & Banquets 

5.0

Lake Barrington, IL
  • Up to 200 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $16,000

Wild Onion Brewery and Banquets is a rustic wedding venue located in Lake Barrington, Illinois. It is truly a unique one-of-a-kind destination. The Great Hall was built in 2006 with a clear vision of unparalleled beauty that would invoke a sense of architectural awe and serenity. It is anchored by a large timber frame cathedral ceiling that overlooks a beautiful 11-acre lake. Our private lake is surrounded by wildflowers and a cascading waterfall, which flows outside the room and past a cantilevered patio. Your guests can enjoy a champagne toast under a canopy of bistro string lights with the sweet sound of flowing water. We believe a wedding venue should be as unique as your special occasion. Thanks to their on-site brewery, guests can enjoy their highly-acclaimed craft beer. Additionally, whether outdoor or indoor, this venue provides food and catering services, including the most delicious cakes and desserts.

“They took care of everything, yet I still had plenty of freedom to make the venue/schedule my own. It was nice knowing we had someone who would handle all the little details! The venue itself is also very beautiful, our favorite part was the balcony outside!”

From our very first interaction, Shannon and the team were incredibly communicative, responsive, and thorough in guiding us through the process. Their warm, personalized service made planning our big day feel easy and effortless. The quality of their work was exceptional, and we were thrilled with the beautiful and delicious desserts that were included- TRUFFLES YUM. Shannon took care of all the small details we often forget about, ensuring our wedding day ran smoothly. We highly recommend Ethereal Confections, especially for weddings of 80-85 guests looking for a cost-effective, high-quality vendor who will make your special day that much more memorable.”
