East of Yellowstone is a wonderfully secluded wedding venue in the countryside of Dixon, Illinois. This peaceful and picturesque retreat offers a respite from the hustle and bustle of city life while simultaneously lying just an hour from the Chicago suburbs. The close proximity to the city makes this an ideal location for out-of-town guests arriving for the celebration. Our brand offers the unique ability for the bride and groom to connect with their family and friends leading up to and/or after their wedding. The good times and memories made are beyond what a one day venue can provide.
