A Truly Unique Experience

My wife and I had the pleasure of hosting our dream wedding at the breathtakingly beautiful The Grove Redfield Estate. From the moment we set foot on the property, we knew it was the perfect setting for our special day in every way.

The outdoor venue was a true oasis of natural beauty, surrounded by lush greenery, majestic trees, and colorful blooming flowers. The picturesque landscape provided a stunning backdrop creating an ambiance that was both romantic and serene.

The venue's staff was exceptional, going above and beyond to ensure every detail was flawlessly executed. They were responsive, attentive, and accommodating, making the planning process smooth and stress-free. Their expertise and experience were evident, and their dedication to making our day unforgettable were truly appreciated.

One of the standout features of this venue was the versatility it offered. With various scenic spots, we had the freedom to customize our reception to match our vision. Whether we wanted an intimate cocktail gathering first followed by an outdoor celebration under the pavilion, or a backup indoor plan in case of heavy rain, the venue catered perfectly to every need. Regardless of seasons this venue offers a wonderful experience to share with your loves ones.

Not only was the venue aesthetically pleasing, but it also provided excellent practicality. The layout ensured smooth transitions from one part of the event to another, making it easy for guests to navigate and enjoy all aspects of our celebration.

Overall, our experience at The Grove Redfield Estate exceeded our expectations in every way. It was the perfect canvas for our dream wedding, creating memories that will last a lifetime. We wholeheartedly recommend this venue to anyone seeking an enchanting outdoor space to make their special day truly extraordinary.

The Grove Redfield Estate

The Grove Redfield Estate is such a beautiful venue. Our guests enjoyed exploring the picturesque grounds. All the staff members we worked with were very responsive and helpful!

Char, the venue supervisor was very helpful on the day of the wedding. We cannot express how polite, friendly, and easygoing she was! Char definitely calmed our nerves before the ceremony. We were planning to do the ceremony outside, but then at the last minute, it started to rain. So the staff at the Grove set up chairs very quickly inside before guests arrived. They turned a stressful moment into a non-issue. We were happy with the indoor ceremony, because the house is very beautiful too.

Our reception was in the pavilion. It was perfect for our 55 guests. With 7 tables for guests, the pavilion appeared to be full. Everyone had to room to move around, but it didn’t look empty at all.

Dreamlike outdoor wedding reception

My husband and I had our wedding reception at The Grove Redfield Estate last weekend. Thankfully, the rain held out and we had amazing weather throughout the night! Even if it rained, the pavilion in which our reception was held would have covered us completely, so this was not a worry of ours when we booked the venue with Deborah. She explained to us that the reception is outside and that the historic home can be used as a bridal suite as well as a place for guests to cool down because it is fully air conditioned. She was extremely helpful in ensuring that our vendors were insured in case anything went wrong. She also gave us helpful tips to save money, such as doing a build your own bar through Schaefer's. The venue itself is affordable and comes with all the amenities listed on their website. The total cost does go up depending on which caterer you go with; although do go with one of their preferred caterers because they do know how to work the venue for a seamless experience. We still went with The Grove because we knew that we (along with our wedding planners) could then curate the wedding reception that we envisioned. Thank you again all so much for a wonderful time!

One of the most magical places a couple can host their wedding reception (and ceremony)! We simply love the Grove and all it has to offer. From their sprawling acres with winding creeks, a stone gazebo perfect for photos, benches scattered for guests to simply sit and take in all the scenery, to a gorgeous pavilion with a roaring fireplace. We love everything that the Grove has to offer. If you are hosting a more intimate affair, we definitely suggest you take a walk around the grounds and let your imagination run wild with all the possibilities for your special event. Carol is a delight to work with and their caterer options are top in the industry! We look forward to working with you again soon Carol!

The staff at the Redfield estate is very friendly and dedicated and contributes to make a wedding at the Grove a very enjoyable experience. From the main coordinator to the bartender, every person at the Refield estate was very welcoming. The location is the perfect setting for an outdoor wedding but provides nice alternatives when the weather is not on your side. I liked the opportunity to walk in the gardens and to explore the woods while photographing my clients, all within a couple minutes from the main buildings. The atmosphere is very relaxed and exotic and put this little gem of a venue in a category of its own.

The Redfield Estate at the Grove is an extraordinary setting for a wedding, especially a summer affair. There's plenty of space for an elegant, intimate outdoor ceremony on the lawn, and the option of dining and dancing inside the mansion itself or in the outdoor pavilion. The Chicago wedding DJ professionals of Fourth Estate Audio are frequent performers at the Redfield Estate, and we appreciate the attentiveness of the staff to client, guest and vendor alike. Every event is truly memorable. Here's a gallery of one of ours: https://www.pinterest.com/chicagodjlights/stacy-pj-jayawardene-real-chicago-wedding/.
