My partner and I got to have the wedding of our dreams at Smith’s. I truly cannot express how vital Smith’s support was during our wedding planning process. We knew within minutes of meeting the Smith’s team that this was the venue for us.

We had the pleasure of working with Ashley and Ravyn over a two-and-a-half year period. Ashley really had an answer for everything, and we turned to her many times during the planning process for wedding advice that didn’t even necessarily relate to the venue. She helped connect us with a number of great vendors and was kind and understanding when we had to delay due to COVID. Rayvn was our day-of-coordinator. She did a fantastic job helping us with the busy schedule and multiple vendors that come with a wedding day. She was also our bar tender and did a great job serving up delicious drinks! Because of Ravyn, we really got to enjoy our wedding day and not stress over the little stuff.

For context, we booked the venue for a Saturday in the fall and had the ceremony as well as reception at the location. We also utilized the venue for photos! It has a number of great backdrops. Though, if you have wedding on a less hot day than we did, you’d find tons of great outdoor photo locations nearby as well.

Booking Smith’s isn’t just booking a venue. It’s booking a team of supportive and compassionate folks to help you and your partner on one of the best days of your relationship.

I’m not sure where to start for this absolutely incredible experience. My husband and I had the wedding of our dreams. When beginning to look around for venues, I had done a quick Google search for wedding venues in mchenry. Smiths was the first venue I chose to peruse. I decided to reach out, and the minute I spoke with Ashley (who was very quick to respond), I knew we had found our location. Honestly, absolutely everything provided exceeded our hopes and expectations. The entire process of planning was so easy thanks to ashley who is also hard-working and very sweet. All aspects of the contract were clearly explained, and the timeline / due dates were easy to follow. A million thanks to ashley and chris for giving us an unbelievable day, and memories we will cherish for a lifetime.

Book your event here!!! Had my wedding reception at Smith's and couldn't have been any happier with our decision. Ashley (owner and planner) is fantastic to work with, from the moment we walked in the doors for our venue tour we knew we wanted to work with her. She made the wedding planning process a breeze! The venue space is beautiful and spacious, especially if you are into the rustic/industrial look. Our guests kept coming to us all night saying how they didn't know Smith's was here in McHenry and they were surprised at what a fun and unique venue it was. Highly recommend for any events!
