I really don't know where to begin, everything about Prairie Street Brewhouse is/was awesome. The staff is incredibly attentive and flexible, the venue itself is one of a kind, the food is outrageously good, and they're a freaking BREWERY! On top of that the value that you get from Prairie Street Brewhouse is incredible. If we had the same wedding, venue and all, either in Chicago or the Chicago suburbs, the wedding would have easily cost 40k +. We paid half of that...

When my husband and I were planning the wedding, he was nervous that our guests wouldn't like having to be in Rockford, since almost all of our guests were from Chicago. When the night came to an end (and in the days that followed) all we heard from guests was, "That was the best wedding I have ever been to." It definitely helped that we provided a shuttle to and from the hotel and reception area, but regardless our guests were blown away by the space.

Do yourself a favor, save your money and have a one of a kind wedding with Prairie Street Brewhouse. No one will think you saved money at all because the wedding will be INCREDIBLE!

If we could give more than five stars we would! Not only is it a unique/legit venue, but the overall experience from start to finish was amazing. The food, service, and coordinators were great to work with and extremely patient. They helped with every last detail and were attentive to our needs, concerns, and questions until the very end. Danielle was INCREDIBLE! For how many decisions and choices there are, she guided us in the right direction and we couldn't have been happier. I am one of those indecisive brides and she took the stress out of planning. Every single person there was kind and accommodating. If this venue is on your "contender list", go with PSB...worth every penny!!

Ahh! Prairie Street Brewhouse was everything we wanted and more! The venue itself was beautiful, rustic and industrial and made for excellent photos. Our guests loved the ability to move from the dock, to the ice house (Bar), to the main reception room as well as the smaller room with our photo booth, dessert table and late night snacks. The food was delicious, and many of our guests told us it was some of the best wedding food they have ever had! However, what pushed the whole experience over the top was the staff. While planning, everyone was extremely responsive and easy to work with. The serves the day of was impeccable. Nicole was my event coordinator, and I can't even begin to express how amazing she is! She went above and beyond, even bringing in a jeweler when the watch I got for my husband was too big! Ultimately, our day was perfect, and after our big day, many of our guests told us that it was one of the best weddings they have ever been to! I HIGHLY recommend PSB!
