The Redfield Estate was a stunning place to have our wedding reception. Even in springtime when the trees weren’t yet covered with leaves, the area was decorated with wonderful arrangements of planted flowers, and the grass was beautifully green. It was lovely outside, and our guests and their kids were able to roam around and play lawn games. The pavillion was an ideal place for dinner and dancing for our fairly intimate party of guests. I only went into the house once during the evening, but it was absolutely charming inside.
In preparing for the wedding, the staff was prompt with email responses and helpful in decision-making, and the staff on-site for the day of the wedding was very attentive. My husband and I were also very happy with the many places around the Grove that were perfect for photographs! We loved the idea of being surrounded by nature, and Redfield felt like our own private estate!

We love The Redfield Estate. The venue is beautiful and Deborah helped us every step of the way, including the day of the wedding! We were off season, so the rental cost was very reasonable. She answered my questions, probably multiple times, and gave us ideas for how to make the wedding better and more organized. The day-of we had terrible weather and had to go with the all-indoor plan, but they made it work and work beautifully! I couldn't recommend this venue more.

Nathan and I loved The Grove. All of our guests kept telling us it was so awesome we hadn’t chose a traditional banquet hall, and how cozy it was to be there. We enjoyed planning the wedding reception and would choose the same place if we had to do it over again. Shelly and Carol were always available and flexible for us when we needed their advice or to stop by. This is the place to have your wedding or reception! Great location and beautiful building and grounds.

The Redfield Estate is a beautiful option for a reception site. Combining a reception there with a ceremony at Schram Memorial Chapel is a great option.

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/.
