Truly the most unique, rustic venue in Rockford and the surrounding area. Beautiful, wooded 150 acre campus that offers endless options for indoor and outdoor weddings. Two areas for receptions, including the Lakeview rooms at the main museum center with outdoor patio and seating for up to 200 guests.

Say "I do" in one of our gorgeous gardens, the gazebo, the church or lakeside by the Millhouse. Wedding package price includes both your choice of ceremony spot and your choice of reception location.

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.-
