Ravenly Events & Venue

Ravenly Events & Venue is a thoughtfully restored estate venue located in Maryville, Illinois, serving the Metro East and greater St. Louis region. Situated on nearly 50 scenic acres, Ravenly blends timeless architecture, elevated hospitality, and modern event functionality to create a one-of-a-kind destination for weddings, social celebrations, and private events.

Formerly known as Bella Vista Winery, the property has been completely reimagined into a refined event estate focused exclusively on curated experiences rather than wine production. Ravenly was designed to preserve the beauty and character of the original property while introducing a more sophisticated, versatile, and hospitality-driven approach to events.

The venue features multiple indoor and outdoor gathering spaces designed to flow seamlessly throughout an event weekend. The estate includes a grand ballroom for receptions and large celebrations, intimate cocktail and lounge spaces, a private bridal suite, groom’s lounge, outdoor terraces, covered patios, ceremony locations, and scenic landscape views that create a destination-style atmosphere close to home.

Ravenly specializes in weddings, rehearsal dinners, corporate gatherings, milestone celebrations, fundraisers, private dinners, and luxury social events. The venue accommodates both fully seated and cocktail-style events and offers flexible event formats ranging from intimate gatherings to large-scale celebrations.

At the core of Ravenly’s philosophy is the belief that events should feel personal, intentional, and deeply memorable. Every aspect of the property and guest experience has been designed to balance elegance with comfort while allowing clients the flexibility to create an event that reflects their vision and priorities.

Ravenly partners with a curated group of preferred caterers and event professionals to ensure a high-quality guest experience while still allowing room for personalization and creativity. Beverage service is managed in-house through customized bar packages designed to complement the style and scale of each event.

In addition to single-day celebrations, Ravenly also offers estate buyout experiences that allow couples and clients to transform their event into a full weekend gathering with rehearsal dinners, wedding celebrations, farewell brunches, and extended access to the property.

Owned and operated by Amanda and Nathan Mueller, Ravenly was created from a passion for hospitality, meaningful experiences, and revitalizing a beloved local property into a space where people can gather to celebrate life’s most important moments.

Ravenly Events & Venue is where timeless spaces, intentional design, and unforgettable celebrations come together.
