Stunning, timeless wedding venue!!

We recently had our wedding at Grove Redfield Estate, and it was truly the most magical experience we could have hoped for. The venue features stunning, expansive outdoor gardens and a beautifully maintained, classical historic mansion that provided the perfect backdrop for our special day.

From the moment we toured, we were captivated by the landscape which includes a massive main lawn, towering oak tree, secluded gazebo, multiple ponds, and flowering gardens… not to mention the historic mansion which is in pristine condition. It has been preserved and renovated with great care by the Redfield Estate caretakers, including our main point of contact Deborah. Deborah was organized and communicative. Working with her felt like getting a bonus extra wedding planner, because of her strong relationships with our caterer and wine provider, who had served dozens of weddings at Redfield Estate and literally had her on speed dial. The staff on our wedding day were equally wonderful, giving us a stress-free day.

We held our ceremony under the gazebo, surrounded by greenery and light (our photographer loved the venue for this!). It felt like we were in a fairytale. The Pavilion and main lawn were perfect for the reception, and our guests were delighted with the natural and garden-like setting. For example, a baby deer crossed the lawn at one point and at night there were more fireflies than I have ever seen in my life. We are beyond grateful to have found such a perfect venue for our wedding. Redfield Estate exceeded all our expectations and created memories that we will cherish forever.

Perfect Venue

The Redfield Estate was the perfect place for our wedding! The staff was so amazing in answering all our questions. They gave us a list of vendors they’ve previously worked with to help us find everyone we needed for our big day. The grounds were beautiful! They were very flexible with us when we had to change our outdoor ceremony to an indoor one due to weather. We couldn’t imagine our wedding anywhere else!

The Perfect Wedding Venue!!!

Could not have asked for a better venue for our wedding. Such an amazing experience from asking for information all the way to the final day. The staff was just amazing. Every person we interacted with day of and any time prior was just so kind and really made this experience not stressful. The cost is something I will rave about always because weddings (especially venues) can absolutely get up there in price and they are one of the few reasonably priced venues I've encountered that also offer a lot of included services in their rental price. The property itself is absolutely gorgeous and having the option to use both inside of the estate and surrounding property really allows for you to get the best photos. I cannot recommend The Grove Redfield Estate enough and will be recommending it every chance I get

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/.
