Williams Tree Farm is an amazing wedding venue. Our wedding guests couldn't stop raving about how beautiful it is (both outside and inside). It had a perfect outdoor space for the ceremony that comfortably fit our 185 guests and a great indoor space for our indoor reception. Ellie was incredible and helped so much on our wedding day and during the months before with the planning. She was very responsive and communicated everything we needed to know clearly. We highly recommend Williams Tree Farm to anyone getting married in Illinois!!!

We got married at Williams Tree Farm in July 2021 and can not say enough wonderful things about Ellie Williams and her team. From booking the venue in 2019 to actually having the wedding in 2021, Ellie was prompt in her replies to our questions, kind, patient, and a true pleasure to work with. She was integral to us having the wedding of our dreams and a drama-free day. We had originally booked our wedding for August 2020 but decided in May of 2020 to postpone till the next year. In a time of so much uncertainty, Ellie was calm and steady as we talked through postponement options and figured out the best alternative date for us and our other vendors. During our planning meetings, Ellie was able to tell us how other couples had done operated and what options were available, without things feeling overwhelming. Her knowledge and patience were much appreciated, especially since we were planning everything on our own.

Day-of, everything ran smoothly, in no small part due to Ellie’s planning and coordination. We did our own decorations and were able to store packaging and extra items easily on site. Setup and tear down with the vendors (caterer, DJ) went practically unnoticed by everyone. Ellie helped keep us on track regarding the schedule of events, as it’s easy to lose track of time during your own wedding day. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous. It has a natural charm with exposed wood posts and beams and a lovely statement fireplace, all material from the farm! We actually didn’t do anything except table/surface decorations because the event hall was perfect. The farm is expansive and beautiful, and you have access to the whole property for your wedding photos. The outdoor ceremony site is everything we were looking for. It’s surrounded by lovely tall trees and a little waterfall, and is nicely shaded in the afternoon so no one sits roasting in the sun. Overall, we had the most perfect wedding and highly recommend you consider Williams Tree Farm for your wedding.
