About

On WeddingWire since 2019

Ethereal Confections is more than just a chocolate company. We’re a chocolate shop, cafe, speakeasy and event space, all rolled into one, located in Woodstock, IL–where Groundhog Day was filmed. At Ethereal, we know just what you’re looking for in a wedding venue, and our staff is dedicated to making your special day perfect. No surprises, no headaches. You just focus on having fun and creating memories, and we’ll do the rest.

We now have two location offerings! Our loft space, located above our cafe, and our new location the Courthouse Square, located on the second floor of the historic Woodstock Old Courthouse Center - right across the street from the cafe. With each location each guest receives a craft chocolate truffle favors, which will impress even the pickiest of aunts.

The Loft at Ethereal is our original venue with exposed brick walls, hardwood floors, and large windows overlooking the beautiful and historic Woodstock Square. Your guests will be greeted with the aroma of our own homemade chocolate as soon as they walk in. With an ideal capacity of up to 70 guests, it is perfect for an intimate night with friends and family.

Courthouse Square is perfect for that 75-125 person guest count (150 max at straight tables) and is a show stopper with it’s historic architecture and modern finishes. With amenities such as a large wedding suite with tons of natural light and a separate ceremony room option, the space has been renovated with you in mind. Courthouse Square also has an add-on option of the old Sheriff’s House for cocktail hour. Complete with original Jail Cells, it’s definitely the ultimate photo op.

Hoping for great photo spots? We’ve got those too! Between adorable brick buildings, the park in the center of town, and the colorful mural with Bill Murray’s face 7 feet high, there’s something for everyone. Make sure to look us up on Instagram @events.at.ethereal for photos and inspiration!

Beautiful place for an intimate reception

We were so happy to have found Ethereal while searching for a location for our reception! Kelsey was the biggest help during our planning process and the day of! She communicated with vendors, helped set up when things were delivered, was super responsive through email, and overall helped me feel at ease during the stress of planning. I can not say enough about how wonderful she is. The location is lovely and doesn’t need a whole ton to spruce it up. We went with Dish and Decor vintage rentals for dishes and candlesticks and London Ave design for greenery and florals, and it all looked great on the 8 foot farmhouse tables. There are many picturesque locations for photos around the venue on the square. Two minor complaints if I had any, are that during the summer it is very bright through the big windows in guest’s eyes, so some sort of window coverings would be helpful just for that time in the evening. My husband and I also felt the guests were a bit on top of each other during dinner (we had 94 total) so that’s something to keep in mind. Capacity is 100, but a wedding of around 80-90 is probably more ideal to allow for more space in the room 😊 We overall loved the intimate feel though, and definitely had enough space once dancing was underway! Zack, our bartender, was also awesome and personable and did a wonderful job! Thank you for making our reception so sweet, Ethereal!

Amazing venue

This was an overall amazing experience using Ethereal as a venue. The staff was amazing and both Kelsey and Shannon were an incredible help throughout the planning process. They were always attentive, considerate, and promt in helping us in any situation. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without Ethereal. If you are considering using them I highly recommend them for any event needs.

Adorable Venue, Made our Wedding even more Perfect

This spot was perfect for us and our family. Kelsey did an amazing job the entire time I was planning. The venue was adorable and the speakeasy was so cool to get ready in. We loved every second of our day and wish we could re-live it. We had a large amount of people in the loft and even though our wedding day was on the hottest day of summer, no one even noticed! Thank you Kelsey and staff for all you did!
