Our perfect venue!

The Redfield was the perfect venue for our intimate wedding! So many great photo opportunities and we were able to not worry about the weather since we had both outdoor and indoor options. The staff is attentive and responsive which made planning a breeze. We can't thank Redfield enough for hosting our perfect day!

The most BEAUTIFUL venue!

The Redfield Estate at The Grove was truly our dream wedding venue. My husband and I both have so many fond memories of The Grove, and for years we always knew that if we got married, this was where we wanted it to be. Being able to celebrate our wedding in a place that already meant so much to us made the day even more special.

The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking. The beautiful grounds, gardens, historic home, and intimate setting created the most romantic atmosphere for our ceremony and reception. Seeing everything come together on our wedding day was honestly surreal. It was everything we had pictured for so many years and somehow even more beautiful in person.

Our guests could not stop talking about how gorgeous and unique the venue was, and we couldn’t agree more. There is something so special about The Redfield Estate—it feels private, peaceful, romantic, and full of character.

Getting married at The Grove truly felt like coming full circle for us. We will forever be grateful that we were able to begin this new chapter of our lives in a place that has already been part of so many wonderful memories. The Redfield Estate will always hold such a special place in our hearts, and we could not recommend it more!

Magical & romantic ambiance

At age 70 and 71, Michael and I were looking for the perfect place to hold a small, intimate ceremony and brunch reception. The Grove Redfield Estate provided the perfected combination of natural beauty for an outdoor ceremony with a lovely indoor option if the weather didn't cooperate. And, the cost to rent the venue worked well within our budget!

The staff at the Redfield Estate was professional, compassionate and responsive throughout our wedding planning process.

We used vendors who had worked at this venue before, so when the BIG DAY came, they all worked together seamlessly to make everything run according to plan, even though we had the ceremony indoors and the brunch in the covered pavilion.

Our guests are still talking about how joyous and beautiful the day was.

Would do it all over again

From the first moment of walking up to the grove I knew it was our place to get married. Deborah was amazing from day one! Walked me through everything from the vendor list to helping me locate a bakery that would deliver on a Sunday. This was truly a magical wedding at the grove. So much laughter, joy, smiles, dancing and food. Our guest enjoyed themselves and are still talking about it. The catering group, venue employees, wedding planner and DJ all worked great together and made our day truly a special day! Deborah THANK YOU for everything you did.

Proposal at the Redfield Estate

Wanted to find a place to propose to my then girlfriend now fiancé and came across the Grove and Redfield Estate. From the first phone call to the day or the proposal I was given nothing but the best customer service. Everything went just as planned and credit the staff there for everything they did for us. Was also recommended an amazing photographer and he did an amazing job too. I highly recommend anyone that is even thinking about having any kind of event here to reach out because you won’t be disappointed!

Great Venue

I have been a long time supporter and fan of The Grove, visiting their trails and nature center since childhood. Their property's Redfield Estate is a beautiful venue for a wedding, and my wife and I love our wedding experience. It was a great value (especially as our wedding was in late April, still considered the "off-season") We had

Amazing Venue and Staff

On April 4th, our daughter got married at the Redfield Estates. Deborah, we want to express our sincere appreciation to your staff (Devay & Charles) for their warm assistance as we arrived to ensure we got everything in place for this intimate ceremony. And of course for you and Tess in helping Kyle & Lauren visualize their intimate ceremony at the beautiful Redfield Estates. You all were amazing! Thank you!

Gorgeous Venue for a Winter Wedding!

My husband and I chose the Redfield Estate for both our ceremony and reception during off-season, winter time. The venue did not disappoint. Deborah and Tess were absolutely wonderful to work with, they accommodated our requests with ease and their recommended vendors were an absolute dream to work with as well. Every aspect from start to finish was wonderful at this venue and we felt so fortunate to have our special moment here at the Redfield Estate. Our micro-wedding and reception at this venue was highly praised by all of our guests. We would highly recommend anyone and everyone to have their special moment here as well!

Review of The Grove Redfield

We barely did any decorations because the venue itself was gorgeous. The price to use the venue is very fair and affordable. The staff responded to emails very quicky or even respond quickly by calling. I felt like I achieved my fairy cottage wedding day. Thank you to everyone at the The Grove Redfield Estate.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Kensington Florals & Events Kensington Florals & Events Wedding Florists

One of the most magical places a couple can host their wedding reception (and ceremony)! We simply love the Grove and all it has to offer. From their sprawling acres with winding creeks, a stone gazebo perfect for photos, benches scattered for guests to simply sit and take in all the scenery, to a gorgeous pavilion with a roaring fireplace. We love everything that the Grove has to offer. If you are hosting a more intimate affair, we definitely suggest you take a walk around the grounds and let your imagination run wild with all the possibilities for your special event. Carol is a delight to work with and their caterer options are top in the industry! We look forward to working with you again soon Carol!

The staff at the Redfield estate is very friendly and dedicated and contributes to make a wedding at the Grove a very enjoyable experience. From the main coordinator to the bartender, every person at the Refield estate was very welcoming. The location is the perfect setting for an outdoor wedding but provides nice alternatives when the weather is not on your side. I liked the opportunity to walk in the gardens and to explore the woods while photographing my clients, all within a couple minutes from the main buildings. The atmosphere is very relaxed and exotic and put this little gem of a venue in a category of its own.

The Redfield Estate at the Grove is an extraordinary setting for a wedding, especially a summer affair. There's plenty of space for an elegant, intimate outdoor ceremony on the lawn, and the option of dining and dancing inside the mansion itself or in the outdoor pavilion. The Chicago wedding DJ professionals of Fourth Estate Audio are frequent performers at the Redfield Estate, and we appreciate the attentiveness of the staff to client, guest and vendor alike. Every event is truly memorable. Here's a gallery of one of ours: https://www.pinterest.com/chicagodjlights/stacy-pj-jayawardene-real-chicago-wedding/.
