Our Wedding

The Barrel Room was a great venue for our wedding! We were one of the first weddings when they opened in Fall of 2023 and had about 180 guest. Shyanne was an amazing person to work with. She made sure everything we needed was available and was very approachable, professional, and responded to emails/text very quickly.

The bar staff was amazing as well. One bartender helped us clean chairs that we rented from an outside company to ensure they looked clean and wedding ready. Her, along with the other staff made our guest feel welcome and were very quick on their feet behind the bar during cocktail hour/the wedding.

The venue itself was beautiful, modern, and had unique décor touches. The only downside is there is not a "getting ready bridal" room or location to hide while the guest were arriving. I, as the bride, ended up posting up in the bathroom and the rest of the party walked out from a back hall. It worked out but is something to think about if this is a major need for your wedding.

Good location, space, people and even better beer (and cocktails)!
Overall, I would highly recommend the Barrel Room for your wedding!

Amazing choice and best decision

My husband and I were thrilled with our choice! We are locals of Lake Villa/Lindenhurst and were beyond satisfied with our choice. Our coordinator was Shyanne. Shyanne helped us with everything and was such a delight! I am beyond happy with how well she helped us make our wedding very special. I provided her with all of our contacts for our vendors and she was amazing at coordinating with them. All of the vendors we used worked sooo well together that I enjoyed myself and didn't have to worry about anything.
I grew up in the area and it was so nice to incorporate the Lehman Lake into our wedding photos. Also, get cute downtown middle-of-the-road photos too.

This is only a venue and bar but that being said the venue itself is so beautiful that it's perfect for minimal decorations.

Some of the vendors we used to help us with our wedding were:
Sola Wood Flowers for table centers and bridal flowers
Lovin Oven Cakery in Antioch, IL (so much fun cake tasting with them. Stephanie was such a hoot)
By Design Event Decorations Inc (Mundelein, IL) for our wedding arch and sweetheart table centerpiece.
Catered Productions (Mundelein, IL) (AMAZING FOOD AND SERVICE!)
Bon Bon Belle Bridal (Burlington, WI):
—Wedding dress: Essence of Australia Plus size chiffon a-line wedding dress with detachable long sleeves.
Well Told Weddings:
—Photographer: Sal (bilingual)
—Videographer: Austin
—DJ: Will (BEST WEDDING DJ EVER!)
