“The Olympia Fields Park District is possibly one of the best park districts in the south suburbs. Every location they offer to have an event at is top tier. The Olympia Fields Park District is a photographer's dream. Whether you are planning a wedding, bridal shower, party, celebration, corporate retreat, workshop, retirement dinner, or an association meeting, their facilities can provide the perfect setting for you. The Bradford barn takes the cake when it comes to ELEGANCE. I worked as a photographer at every location the Olympia Fields Park District has to offer and they all receive five stars from me. The thing that gives Olympia Fields Park District the Superior advantage over other locations and park districts is the option to have everything set up how you want it. From the catering to the layout to the design, they don't get in your way. Most banquet halls force your hand when it comes to catering or using their partners, but the Olympia Fields Park District let's you host your event how you would like to. Also their locations bring a different kind of highly upscale energy. When you host an event in the Olympia Fields Park District, there's a certain level of excellence and class that comes with it. If you plan on renting one of their facilities, I would strongly suggest calling to check if the date and time you are looking to get is available. They host lots of events and you don't want to find yourself thinking you will be able to rent a location and it is already booked up.”
