The food is the best banquet hall food I’ve ever had. Everyone was so nice and friendly. Highly recommend.

  • Up to 250 guests

  • Starts at $1,500

The Wagner House, located in the historic Wagner Print Building, is a three-story industrial warehouse in downtown Freeport, Illinois. The building was built in 1903 and was one of the first buildings that had electricity in Freeport. Established in 1853 and incorporated on March 9, 1912, the Wagner Building was home to the German-born Wagner Family who, like Freeport, has a long and interesting history. The Wagner House also served as an industrial manufacturing spot for textiles and fashion. For four generations, the business did not change hands, and the present Wagner company pledged to continue their record of quality printing and letterpress and are still in business today. In 2013, The Wagner building was sold to Bill Green to redevelop and re-imagine it, creating a wine bar, business incubator, and beautiful event space.

We got married at the Wagner House in September of 2021. We had a short window, only 3 months to plan, but everything went off without a hitch. The best part was their accommodation of live music instead of a dj. The venue has house sound and lights so that saved us a ton of money. We had six musicians throughout the night and a full band. It was a blast!

I had the opportunity to capture a wedding at this stunning campus. The ceremony took place at Fisher Memorial Chapel. The chapel was incredibly beautiful, with its unique architecture and serene atmosphere. After the ceremony, the celebration moved to Regents Hall, a charming venue with magnificent windows all around. The natural light streaming through the windows added a touch of magic to the reception. The hall's location on the campus, surrounded by rolling hills, provided the perfect backdrop for capturing unforgettable moments. If you're looking to create a memorable and visually stunning wedding album. I highly recommend considering this campus. I suggest inquiring about a tour to see it for yourself and experience the beauty firsthand.

We had our wedding at Ludlow Mansion in Monroe WI and it was fantastic. Penny and Greg are great and easy to work with throughout the entire process. Our guests continued to comment throughout the night how the venue was beautiful. Our wedding was in April and they were so accommodating to moving the ceremony to be inside instead of outside the morning of the wedding. I highly recommend going with the three day package as it made everything less stressful. I cannot say enough how happy we were to have our wedding at Ludlow and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for that all in one place for their weddings!

We had our wedding reception at the Boone County Museum of History on July 6 and it was absolutely one of the best decisions we made in the entire wedding planning process! I grew up going to the museum and we had guests coming up to us all night telling us it was their first time there and how excited they were to see the museum for the first time and how they wanted to come back and spend more time there, and people saying they wanted to spend all night looking through the exhibits. The gallery space was perfect for our 125 guests and there was plenty of space to set up our buffet table, dessert table, and the bar on top of that. There was even enough room for a dance space near the entryway! The museum staff were absolutely the best throughout planning, answering all of our questions right away and helping us to figure out the layout when the time came. We were able to have plenty of personalized touches throughout our decor and our setup, and the staff even allowed us to set up a personalized scavenger hunt throughout the exhibits to find items we'd chosen based on our relationship. The Boone County Museum of History is 100% the best value for a wedding venue you could find in the area and is an absolutely gorgeous and special venue for any of your events, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding venue in the Belvidere-Rockford area!

Pheasant Valley Barn 

5.0

Brooklyn, WI
  • Up to 300 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor

We welcome you to Pheasant Valley Barn! The barn is nestled in a scenic valley in the middle of our farm. The Byrne family started dairy farming in Wisconsin after emigrating from Ireland in the 1870's. In 2003, we decided to renovate our 1890's barn. We added a new metal roof and restored the interior of the barn. To celebrate, we had a barn dance for Duane's parents' 40th anniversary. Thus began "The Party Barn". In the fall of 2018, our son Cory married his fiance, Jenny. It confirmed our idea of starting a barn venue and sharing our barn and farm with others. We have been asked many times, "Why don't you rent out this barn?" We have decided the time is right to diversify our farm and start this event business. We are so happy that we restored our barn. As more and more barns and farms are lost, our barn is preserved and now can be shared with others to create a memorable and special day for your event!

My husband and I were married at Pheasant Valley Barn this past summer and we could not have been happier with our venue choice. Lindsay, the owner, was extremely helpful and responsive throughout the entire planning process, offering timely advice and insights that ensured our rustic, flower-filled wedding vision came to life seamlessly. The beautiful, open barn provided a warm, welcoming backdrop for our special day. Lindsay worked hard to infuse personal touches that made our wedding feel unique. From the first venue walkthrough to the final farewell, Lindsay was there to answer every question, calm every worry, and handle all the behind-the-scenes details with total professionalism. We were able to relax and soak in every magical moment knowing we were in very capable hands. I would enthusiastically recommend Pheasant Valley Barn to any engaged couple searching for a venue that delivers beauty, charm, and outstanding service.
