Words cannot express how wonderful of an experience it was having our wedding at the Riverside Receptions in Geneva, IL. From start to finish Amy, Renee and Marcia were so helpful and supportive. The venue is stunning directly located off the river. We had our wedding on Sunday, July 3, 2022 with a courtyard ceremony and indoor reception with panoramic view of the river. Everything was just perfect. I strongly recommend this venue to anyone looking for something different from the banquet style wedding with a great elegant touch. 5 stars

I am a DJ and have worked in hundreds of different venues across the Midwest. The staff at The Morris Country Club are simply the best. Tricia, Emma and all of the staff go above and beyond to make sure the event goes smoothly. This is more than just a job to them. To me as a wedding professional there is nothing more important than that. Their are so many moving parts to a wedding reception, ceremony and any event. Having staff that are knowledgeable and able to adjust on the fly is crucial. When you book an event you can rest assured that they will do everything in their power to make your event a smashing success.

The Barrel Room

Normal, IL
  • Up to 175 guests
  • Select services

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.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Both indoor and outdoor options
  • Offers full-service amenities
  • Rustic-chic setting

Venue considerations

  • No dedicated areas for getting ready
  • Not for you if you are drawn to more unconventional venues
  • No on-site guest accommodations
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!

Posh Banquets at Clarion Hotel Joliet was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. Their communication with Sarah was quick, professional, considerate, and efficient from the very first inquiry. The quality of their work and overall value was simply stunning - the venue was beautifully decorated and elegantly organized, making our special day feel so valuable and special. The team went above and beyond, like creating a custom entree just for the groom and setting up a taco bar just for the bride. Everyone was so kind and truly made all of our wedding dreams come true. The entire Posh Banquets team was amazing, and I would recommend them to everyone!
