Spectacular Venue/Wonderful People!
Weddings or events for large crowds would be fabulous inside or out. And if weather turns bad, it doesn't matter because inside is tremendous.
Besides amazing facilities for food and catering, the sound system is outstanding! We were blown away. Plenty of room to dance, great bar, and a VIP room that is over the top. Plus they have a limo you can rent, which we did!
We could not have picked a better place to share our love with friends and family anywhere in central IL.
You will should visit before you choose another location, because you will love Paul's Paradise!
