About

Designed in 1897, Historic Pleasant Home is a beautiful and unique venue for intimate events. From a summer brunch reception on the expansive front porch, to an elegant evening cocktail party inside the mansion, Pleasant Home is the perfect setting for your celebration.

A National Historic Landmark, Pleasant Home is an architectural gem that showcases 19th century craftsmanship and artistry. You and your guests will be surrounded by rich custom woodwork, extraordinary art glass windows, intricate woodcarvings, and the glowing warmth of light from another era.

The original owner of Pleasant Home, John Farson, had a reputation for opening his doors to everyone and we would like to continue that tradition.

As the bride and planner of my wedding, it was extremely easy working with Sarah, the Event Coordinator. She answered all of our questions immediately, was extremely professional and so very sweet. The Pleasant Home was absolutely gorgeous. It was everything my husband and I dreamed of. We were married outside in front of the house in front of the gorgeous tree. It was a dream. We took the most beautiful wedding photos around the grounds of the house and inside. It was extremely affordable but totally stunning and gorgeous. It's conveniently close to the green line which made transportation to our west loop reception for our guests (and the bridal party!) very easy. The staff was fabulous. They helped us set up our lanterns and our trellis the day of the ceremony. Sarah went out of her way to make sure that we had everything we needed for our big day. She and her staff member even stood next to me while I was freaking out before walking down the aisle and calmed my nerves. I highly recommend this venue!
