I have had the pleasure of DJing at a couple of events so far at Walnut Hall. The space is beautiful, and well maintained. The owners and staff are helpful, kind, and downright just great people. I personally have not had a chance to tour the other buildings on their property, but my wife has and she was speechless (in a good way)! You will not be disappointed with Walnut Hall, unless they are already booked for your date. And I cannot wait to go back and help many more couples in the future celebrate their big day at Walnut Hall!!

We recently hosted a baby shower at OH Banquets, and I cannot recommend this venue enough! From the moment we started planning, Greg was absolutely wonderful to work with. He was incredibly helpful, professional, and made the entire process so smooth. His attention to detail and willingness to accommodate our requests truly set the tone for a fantastic experience. Greg made us feel confident that everything would go perfectly, and it absolutely did. The space itself is stunning and full of charm. The historic feel of The Grand Opera House, combined with its modern updates, created the perfect backdrop for our event. The layout is versatile and comfortably accommodated all our guests, allowing for both mingling and seating during the event. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and you can tell great care has gone into preserving the character of this unique venue. Another huge plus is the location. Being on Historic Main Street in St. Charles was such a treat! After the baby shower, many of our guests took advantage of the unique shopping options and quaint charm of downtown. It was great knowing we were just steps away from boutique stores, restaurants, and even the Ameristar Casino for those wanting to explore further. I’m so glad we chose OH Banquets for this special occasion. The combination of the beautiful space, convenient location, and Greg’s amazing support made it an unforgettable day. If you’re looking for a venue with character, elegance, and outstanding service, this is the place!
