Marisol T. Sent on 12/27/2022Winter wedding
We decided to book our wedding ceremony at the chapel in the museum village. Cozy, quaint, and memorable place, so unique no decorations were needed. The celebration took place at the Lakeview room inside the museum's main building. Lisa and her team were very professional and available to answer my questions and accommodate my requests. VERY AFFORDABLE venue. Highly recommended.Midway Village Museum's reply:
Thank you Marisol for the lovely review. You looked stunning and we are so grateful that you chose Midway Village for your most important day. Many, many blessings to you both!!

Majority of our guests were from out of town and they couldn't say enough about how charming the space was. And what a place to take photographs! The bridal party took over the hotel and were married in the gazebo across the path followed by a parade (complete with drums and trumpets) processed to the 1915 barn (about a seven minute stroll) where the reception took place. Staff was accommodating and helpful and the whole event went off without a hitch. -

We booked Midway Village for both our ceremony and reception, and it was such a great decision. This entire venue is perfect for weddings! Not only was the venue beautiful and versatile, but Lias, the rental manager was always helpful, easy to work with, and super responsive through the entire process. We highly recommend Midway Village to anyone looking for a venue with a smooth booking, planning, and day-of experience!Midway Village Museum's reply:
Thank you so much Genevieve and congrats again. Your photos are stunning!! Many blessings to you both!!!

Excellent experience with Midway Village
Lisa Beardsworth is a wonderful person to work with and made everything smooth and less stressful before, during and after our wedding. Ceremony was in church and reception was in Barn. We had whole place to ourselves and our guest. We got married in May and the flowers just bloomed and look so beautiful.Midway Village Museum's reply:
Awe thank you Barbara!! You two were a great couple to plan the day with. We are so happy for you both!

Great service!
We ended up having to reschedule 3 times due to Covid but Lisa was great when it came time to reschedule and was always responsive! When it finally came down to our day the weather was not in our favor at first. I want to say the gentleman’s name was Patrick he was the one to setup the chairs but he came to us and told us if it did rain he would have no problem setting up the chairs inside the main building even after having it all setup outside. Let’s just say this bride felt relieved that he would do that. Keeping up with weather updates we decided to see the outside. Patrick drove us to our site which was the Moonlight Gardens and because it is uphill the water drains out and walking on it it definitely did not feel like rain had just poured down. Definitely a relief to know that my wedding would be outside. Everything turned out beautiful and I couldn’t have had a better experience. Also, Lisa checked in on us even though she threw out her back. She cared enough to check in person when she should’ve been home resting. She was so nice and very professional.Midway Village Museum's reply:
Thank you Selena for such nice comments. We are so grateful and are happy that your day turned out as planned. Weather in the Midwest is always a gamble. I will share your comments with the staff. Many blessings! -

Melissa P. Sent on 11/17/2019So happy we chose Midway Village!
Our wedding and ceremony were held at Midway Village on November 9, 2019. Lisa was wonderful to work with and very accommodating- we live near Chicago and they allowed us to rent the space for a small fee the day before the wedding as well, so that we could set up and decorate early. We weren't sure if the weather was going to cooperate, so we had an outdoor spot AND an indoor location available just in case it was cold/rainy (or snowing!) Our reception was held in the 1905 Barn which had plenty of space for our 110 guests. The bar and DJ were set up on the lower level and dinner was upstairs. It was so beautiful, minimal decor is needed because the barn has so much character on its own. I'm so happy we chose Midway Village, I fell in love with the barn the moment we first viewed it and our guests all thought it was such a unique venue!Midway Village Museum's reply:
Thank you Melissa! Your photos are beautiful!!! Congrats again and we wish you the very best!!

Beautiful Venue, kind and attentive staff
This venue is an absolute gem! I cannot say enough about how positive our experience was in getting married at the Midway Village Museum this past July. In addition to getting married at the Midway, we took our engagement pictures there as well. They have multiple ceremony sites but we got married at the gazebo site. The garden near the gazebo was in bloom and stunning the day of our wedding. The historical buildings are simply charming and whimsical, it tied in perfectly with the look and vibe we were going for. The staff at the Midway were so accommodating and laid back. They were quick to respond, easy to talk to and patient with questions we had about the ceremony space, timing and on and on. We were able to easily set up times to view and tour the venue. All of this went a long way to put me at ease. They made our day easier, not more difficult, and that to me was priceless. Lisa is a breeze to work with. We had no issues whatsoever. They had the site set up as needed for our rehearsal and wedding day. Our wedding coordinator also had a positive experience working with Lisa. They have a gorgeous bridal suite to use for pictures and getting ready on site and were accommodating with special requests. This venue should be on your short list! Working with people that care about making it a good experience for you, makes all the difference in the world.Midway Village Museum's reply:
Awe thank you Kelly!! You two were so wonderful to work with!! It was great working with your planner, Jessa too. She was on top of everything which made everything a piece of cake for us to handle. We wish you guys the very best and look forward to seeing more of your beautiful photos!!!

Courtney Sent on 07/19/2018Lisa is THE BEST! We were booking from out of town and she made the process so easy and answered all of our questions so quickly. Unfortunately we had a surprise move prior to our wedding so we had to cancel. We are so sad because the venue is beautiful and Lisa was amazing! But even in canceling she was so helpful! Look no further than Midway Village! Thanks again Lisa! -

Katie Sent on 06/20/2018We just got married this June at midway; ceremony at the gazebo and reception in the barn. Because midway is a small village of old buildings the photo opportunities are endless. Our photos were stunning and the colors were so vibrant! We rolled the dice with an outdoor ceremony but it worked out perfect. The barn doesn’t have air condition (yet) so it was really really hot and most people spent their time outside the barn. I was a little sad we didn’t spend a lot of time in the barn because it’s gorgeous, but the grounds are beautiful as well so it worked out just fine! My guest told me it was the hottest wedding but was one of the most stunning venues they had seen. We couldn’t do anything about the heat so we just went with it and everyone still had a blast! Lisa is now in charge of wedding events and I absolutely loved her! She was fantastic, gave me ideas I didn’t think about and got back to me quickly about all my little questions. I would highly recommend checking out midway for your wedding celebration. I wouldn’t trade my photos for any other place! Midway Village Museum works great for any budget!Midway Village Museum's reply:
Awe. Thanks Katie. You two were great to work with and we are honored that we got to be part of such a special day for you two! Best of luck to you and keep us in mind for any future events you may have! -
