“Midway Village Museum in Rockford, IL was the perfect venue for our wedding. Lisa, the event coordinator, was great to work with - she made the event run smoothly, which helped keep me calm throughout the day. The space was perfect and I was able to add some of my own personal touches to make it a truly special day. Lisa made sure the setup was complete to our agreement and that we had all the supplies needed to make everything run efficiently. I would highly recommend Midway Village Museum to any couple looking for a beautiful, customizable wedding venue with a friendly and professional staff. The barn had plenty of room for all of our guests, and the gardens and gazebo provided a gorgeous backdrop for our ceremony and photos.”
