About

On WeddingWire since 2018

Company 251 is a wedding venue located in Aurora, Illinois. Built in 1908, the historic building was originally an international harvester manufacturing company. Merging the past with the present, it has been renovated with industrial chic, minimalist stylings, creating an elegantly modern setting for any special occasion. Through their precise attention to detail and high-quality customer service, the staff strives to create a luxurious experience for those celebrating their big day.

Facilities and Capacity

Company 251 has two event spaces that can accommodate up to 350 guests where couples can host their celebration. The building’s interior features exposed brick walls, original wood columns, marble bars, handmade lighting, and large windows, resulting in a bright space. The venue also has an outdoor patio that can be used for intimate ceremonies and receptions. No matter which event space you select, it can be adjusted to fit your unique wedding vision. Before the festivities begin, you and your partner are invited to prepare in separate get-ready suites.

Services Offered

Company 251 can provide you with an all-inclusive six-hour venue rental. An event manager is available to help coordinate the details of your day. Items such as tables, chairs, additional furniture, and more can be supplied for any celebration. To alleviate stress on the day, the staff is happy to set up your ceremony and reception. Outside vendors of your choosing are also welcome to contribute to your big day.

Cuisine

In-house catering is provided by the venue’s parent company, Moveable Feast + CO. For your celebration, you will be provided an artisanal food and drink program that matches the city loft’s aesthetic. Helmed by Executive Chef Chris Ayukawa, the culinary team crafts menus that are based on seasonal ingredients sourced from local farms. Your selected meal can be served buffet-style or plated depending on your preferences. The venue offers tastings prior to your event to ensure that you are satisfied with your menu. Additionally, the catering team is happy to prepare hors d’oeuvres and desserts. A champagne toast can be provided, and the in-house bar is stocked with signature drinks and premium liquor for you to enjoy throughout the event.

Everything I wanted and more!

I cannot say enough good things about Co. 251. When looking through the many wedding websites, I had a feeling this was the venue where I would want my wedding to take place. I honestly didn’t have to go further than the first floor to be completely sold during the initial tour. The venue had the exact look I was going for – elegant and modern. The white brick and ceilings, the dark floors, and the gold accents in the lighting all give it a very classy art-deco feel. You can then take the elevator, which I was absolutely obsessed with, to the second floor for the dining. The natural wood floors give this space so much character. The high quality tables they use, again with all of the accents, gives the space a very warm feeling. And while guests are not allowed on the 4th floor, you can take some incredible photos up there! Aside from the venue itself, the food is incredible. When I found out Moveable Feast is the company that prepares the food, I knew I had to have my wedding here. My main goal for the wedding was to provide our guests with great food, drinks, and dancing. Co. 251 hit the ball out of the park with the food and drinks! I’ve received so many compliments from guests raving about the appetizers and their meal. And lastly, the people. You can have an amazing venue but really crappy service, which ultimately can ruin your experience, but that is not the case for Co. 251. Rachel, who handles the contract and the behind-the-scenes logistics was amazing. She was very responsive and was very accommodating when I wasn’t too keen on the wine options for the Tier 2 drink package (I will say, their house wine is incredible! I was very pleasantly surprised and very much enjoyed it during dinner). Lastly, but certainly not least, is Beverly, the day-of coordinator. I absolutely love and adore her. Half the reason I’m sad the wedding is over is because I won’t get to see her anymore! Beverly was my fairy godmother leading up to and on the day of the wedding. Anything I may have wanted or needed, Beverly was sure to make it happen. She made sure I had food to eat during the cocktail hour and worked seamlessly with my wedding planner. She was professional and respectful, as she didn’t want to step on my wedding planners toes (my wedding planner absolutely loved Beverly and loved working with her). To any bride looking at venues in the Western suburbs, I highly recommend looking at Co. 251. It is such a hidden gem. A venue like this in the city will cost you easily $20k+ more. You definitely get what you pay for here and I don’t think you will be disappointed.

Wedding Day Experience

Company 251 was our dream venue. From the clean white walls to the perfectly designed floor plans, we couldn’t have been happier. If you are looking for a wedding venue that wows your guests, this would be the one! The ceremony space is beautiful, intimate, and elegant. With a grand piano on site, you are able to make use of it, or simply have it as a stunning piece for photos.

The bridal suite and groom suite were perfect for our bridal party and helped us calm our nerves before saying “I do.” Getting to spend that extra time with your family and friends really helps!

The food was phenomenal, the bartenders knew how to get everyone to party, and our coordinator Beverly did a great job managing the entire evening to make sure everything went smoothly!

Overall, our experience was a 10/10. Everyone seemed to have a fantastic time and we were thrilled with the outcome of it all. We recommend Company 251 to any and all! Cheers!
