    They were amazing. They did such a good job helping to coordinate our wedding. Everyone was super professional and the food was amazing!

    The Pavilion at Orchard Ridge Farms was fantastic for our wedding. They were super professional and everything went super well. They did a very good job with coordination and scheduling, especially considering the size of our wedding. The catering was delicious, and everything was cooked perfectly. They also recommended a fantastic DJ for us. The venue was also gorgeous in the fall. We 100% would recommend this venue to other couples.

    Outstanding and Professional

    The Pavilion at Orchard Ridge Farms is so beautiful. The staff are very professional, helpful, and kind. I had no idea what to expect, but I was so thankful for all of their help and prompt communication. Jill Guth was a pleasure to work with and Lexi Silva gave us a wonderful tour and answered all of our questions. They are both very knowledgable about the industry! They were extremely helpful on our actual wedding day and I was completely relaxed. I highly recommend their venue!

    April Wedding

    We can wholeheartedly give The Pavilion a 10 out of 10 for their professional and caring staff as well as the fantastic venue itself! All of our guests were impressed by the scenic ceremony site and how the beautiful reception building feels like you're outside. The staff took care of all the minutia of the day and kept us as stress-free as possible. They really thought of everything! I could not have pictured a more perfect place for our wedding.

    Beautiful venue

    My husband and I fell in love with this venue the moment we stepped inside the door. We worked with Jill the most. She was very resourceful and patient. She really knew how to calm a very stressed out bride. She had a solution to every problem I had. The venue was gorgeous in every way possible. Our guests were complimenting it all night.

    AMAZING in every way!!

    The Pavilion is INCREDIBLE! Not only is it stunning both outdoors & indoors, but the staff could not have been better to work with. They were there to answer any questions I had every step of the way and took care of all the little details the day of so I had no stress at all! They truly made the day go so smoothly and my wedding exceeded my expectations thanks to them! There is nothing like this venue in the area! Would 100% recommend!

    September wedding

    Everyone at the Pavilion at Orchard Ridge was incredibly kind and professional. Our wedding guests were blown away by how delicious all the food was! We also appreciated the fact that one of the staff members checked on us throughout the night to ensure we were able to enjoy the food and drinks. Highly recommend the Pavilion!

    Book them, you wont be upset

    This was absolutely my dream venue. I had always known I wanted to get married in a barn and when my now husband and I visited we knew right away that this was where we wanted to get married. The staff was absolutely amazing, friendly and helpful. The weather ended up being pretty cold so the staff made sure the fireplace was lit and indoors was comfortable. We also had some issues with one of the hotels not letting guests check in so our ceremony ended up running late. They just rearranged the timeline and everything still turned out perfect.
    Also, our guests could not stop talking about the food and how good it was, a few mentioned that it was the best wedding food they had ever had. If you are thinking about it, I say go for it, you will not regret having your wedding at the pavilion!

    Great Venue!

    The Pavilion is a beautiful wedding venue! My husband and I were looking for a location that was beautiful both inside and out as we were not willing to chance the weather for our late fall ceremony. The Pavilion ended up being perfect for us so we could take photos on the grounds, but have an great location for an indoor ceremony that was then transformed into our reception hall. The staff was always quick with responses to questions and changes requested, even more so as the day got closer. We were not initially planning on renting out the Copperstone Inn, but we did ultimately end up using it for our immediate family which was really fun to have - I wish we had rented it for a few extra days to just enjoy how cool the space is. We were traveling from Chicago, so the staff really helped us out to be able to plan from 1.5 hours away. Our guests were also happy to make that trip for such a perfect location!

    The Perfect Fall Wedding!

    The Pavilion at Orchard Ridge Farms is absolutely amazing! The staff was extremely helpful and supportive through our planning process, and made our entire experience easy and stress-free from beginning to end. I couldn't have imagined a better place to marry my husband. Till this day we have guests talking about how AMAZING the wedding food was. Also, the grounds are BEAUTIFUL – we had the perfect fall day with our ceremony outside. Our day was perfect and stress-free and we owe a lot of that to the team at the Pavilion. Lastly, I highly recommend The Copperstone it made our lives even easier I would recommend this venue to any bride!

    Beautiful Venue

    If I had to do my wedding day over again... I would still choose the Pavilion. Jill, Taylor, Ann and Nikki were all so very great to work with. They brought their A game every step of the way. I never felt like something was going to be missed from the day that we visited them to the day of the wedding. Fantastic place!

    Flawless Wedding, Incredible Venue & Team

    I just had my wedding at the pavilion at orchard ridge farms about 3 weeks ago! Every little detail I planned went off perfectly and the staff was absolutely incredible. From the first day I met them to the last, they would respond to my emails and questions within hours and were always trying to help make my life easier. We really wanted to originally have a wedding in downtown Chicago but it ended up being too pricey for us so we decided on the pavilion. Wow am I glad we had our wedding here! I can not recommend them enough. They really make each wedding feel special and all the wonderful people that work there helped so much. Kacie, Michelle, Searra, Corey, Jill, and many more! They are out of this world incredible and I can’t thank them enough! Every single one of my guests said the food was outstanding- and it really was! They are phenomenal.

    The Perfect Venue for our Perfect Day!

    We had the most amazing wedding experience at The Pavilion at Orchard Ridge Farms! The staff was great to work with leading up to the day and the day of. I was a little nervous because it looked like it was going to rain, which would move our outdoor ceremony indoors, but they were extremely flexible and gave all the way up until an hour and a half before the ceremony to make that call. Luckily it didn't rain and we ended up having the most perfect weather!! We got nothing but compliments on the food! Everyone loved everything and said that it was the best "wedding food" they have ever had! The venue was absolutely breathtaking and we got so many compliments on it as well. A lot of "how did you find this place? It's beautiful!" type comments, as all of our guests were from out of town. Lastly, the bridal suite is clutch!! The best place for all of the girls to hang out all day, get hair and make up done, take pictures, and relax. All in all, it was the best day of our lives and we couldn't have been happier with the venue, staff, food, and overall experience!

    Highly Recommend

    The staff at the Pavilion and Henrici’s went above and beyond. They are extremely helpful, quick to respond, and so professional. I was missing a bag and a staff member searched high and low - even went out to our car to find it for me! The venue is stunning! The grounds are well kept and made for awesome pictures.

    What stood out the most was the food! Most incredible wedding food. We still have guests complimenting how great the food was. Bar service was exceptional. You will not regret choosing this venue!

    This venue is beyond amazing!

    The Pavilion at Orchard Ridge Farms is GORGEOUS! We had our wedding ceremony and reception inside the Pavilion and we received raving reviews from our guests on how beautiful everything was. It could not have been more perfect for our March wedding. The catering associated with the Pavilion is phenomenal! Everyone was commenting on how delicious the food was. Kacie and the rest of the staff made sure that the entire day went smoothly and every detail was covered. They made the planning process so easy! I am so glad that we chose the Pavilion for our special day and highly recommend it to anyone planning a wedding!

    Absolutely Amazing Experience

    From day 1 just reaching out to The Pavilion to set up a tour all the way through the end of our wedding reception, my husband and I had the best experience with this venue. It is absolutely gorgeous inside and out and the huge stone fireplace was perfect for my winter wedding. I had many guests that were excited to attend our wedding simply because they had been dying to go to an event at The Pavilion and I have had even more guests rave about it since the wedding took place. But even more important than how picturesque The Pavilion is, the staff is phenomenal. Everyone that I spoke to at The Pavilion was extremely knowledgeable and responsive. I always had all of my questions answered within 24 hours of sending an email, if not sooner! The day of the wedding, all of their staff were very professional and extremely kind and helpful. I could go on and on about how great The Pavilion is for days and still not quite convey just how awesome my experience was with them.

    When we started researching/visiting venues, the first stop we made was at The Pavilion at Orchard Ridge Farms and I knew that this was THE place I wanted to say "I Do." The grounds alone are breathtaking at any time of the day. The Pavilion in and of itself with its beautiful glass windows/sliding doors all the way around allowed you to see the surrounding grounds. Kaci was the most helpful and responsive coordinator. I couldn't have asked for anyone better. She answered my many questions and addressed my concerns in the moths leading up to our wedding. Our day of coordinators, Shane and Nikki were amazing as well. Nikki help facilitate our rehearsal, and answered any and all questions I had. The day of, she repeatedly approached me to make sure I didn't need anything, and to make sure that everything was going according to my plan. I really appreciated that! Our wedding definitely would not have run as smoothly as it did without Nikki there. Shane checked in with me at the bridal suite the morning of our wedding, to make sure that we had everything we needed. The staff was phenomenal and went above and beyond to ensure that my special day was magical, and because of each and every one of them it was exactly that! 5 stars is not enough!

    To say that the food was phenomenal wouldn't even do it justice. Henrici's did such an amazing job. From our tasting to the day of our wedding, the presentation and savory flavors of the food didn't change one bit. We ended up doing buffet style, while our tasting had been plated. Not once in my entire life have I had buffet food duplicated to look and taste the exact same as plated meal, but Henrici's managed to do it! Our guests raved about our food for days after our wedding. Bobbi did an excellent job of communicating with us in the months leading up to our wedding. When we had a (VERY) last minute guest RSVP, they went above and beyond to accommodate us. Thank you so much for making our wedding day complete and delicious!

    I am a Picky Planner. When I have spent time planning and dreaming with a Bride and her Queen Mother, my heart is pounding for them and determined to deliver a Joyful Journey to I Do and a Best Day Ever. In order to do this, I must have Vendors and a Venue who have the same heart. I over communicate and often have ideas and wishes for the day that may require extra effort on behalf of the venue and vendors. Kacie Benjamin, as per usual, came from a 'Yes' Place. She was always happy and willing to help. The Day-Of Coordinator, Summer, was an exceptional extension of Kacie. She was well informed, equipped and fast thinking with excellent offerings and solutions when needed. Neither Kacie or Summer made me feel as though I were stepping on their toes. They allowed me to 'run point' and understood that my mission was to protect my Bride and her Queen Mother from any awareness of To Do's, allowing them to be fully present with each other, their Maids and families. They allowed me to operate at the highest level and this, in turn, allowed all vendors to operate at the highest level - therefore, delivering a Best Day Ever.
    We have one opportunity to deliver a Best Day Ever. There are no 'do-overs'. The day runs smoothly with a good timeline/plan in place and experienced vendors with heart. When the day runs smoothly, all vendors can be fully present, reverent and connected to the Bride. When this happens everyone, from the Wedding Party to the Guests, can feel it and know they are experiencing a Best Day Ever.
    In my life I have enjoyed 5-Star travel and entertainment. Not only is The Pavilion and Orchard Ridge Farms 5-Star Caliber in it's presentation they are intentional to deliver a 5-Star experience.
    I am grateful and proud to have had this opportunity to lock arms with and execute again at The Pavilion at Orchard Ridge Farms.
    Sincerely, Kelly Delamater | Backyard Soiree Weddings and Events

    If you are looking for a beautiful rustic venue that will make sure everything about your wedding day is perfect then look no further! Everyone on the staff at the Pavilion is so professional and makes sure that you are taken care of every step of the way. This place is worth the money!! Our pictures turned out beautiful! Our guests are still raving about how gorgeous the venue was and how amazing the food was! I kept hearing that it was "the best wedding food they have ever had"! Our event coordinator for the day was Shane and he was amazing! He made sure every detail was taken care of that I asked of him. He was there first thing in the morning and made sure to keep me updated throughout the day. Everything I asked of him was executed flawlessly. Before the wedding I was emailing back and forth with Kacie, Marissa, and Cortney. They were all very professional and made sure everything came together. I cannot thank you and your team enough! I really cannot think of anything that went wrong that day. I wouldn't change a thing as everything was perfect! I highly recommend this venue for your ceremony and reception!

    Beautiful grounds and buildings! I fell in love with this place the minute we drove down the driveway, the Pavilion itself took my breath away. Staff responds in a timely manner every time. I only had my reception there, I wish I would have had my ceremony too, because then I could have had more time with my photographer on the grounds. We missed the hay bales, I guess they are not bailed until late May, and our wedding was at the beginning of May unfortunately, oh well. We had tons of compliments from family and friends using the Pavilion!!! Would go with them if we had to do it all over again!

    Our Perfect Wedding Day! 01.25.2025

    Our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more. From the moment we arrived, the venue exuded timeless beauty—elegant yet welcoming, with every detail thoughtfully curated. It was the perfect backdrop for our special day. The food was nothing short of incredible! Our guests raved about every dish, and the service was impeccable. We couldn’t have asked for a better culinary experience. The only minor disappointment was that guests weren’t allowed to take leftovers home, which they were a bit bummed about—especially given how amazing the food was! Before the wedding, we stayed at the Copperstone Inn, and it was the ideal place to relax and spend time with family. The atmosphere was so comfortable and serene, offering the perfect setting to prepare for the big day. Not only was it a peaceful retreat for us, but it also served as the perfect spot to host our family for the weekend. The intimate, cozy setting made it easy for everyone to feel at home and enjoy each other's company before the big celebration.
    Overall, our wedding was a dream come true, and The Pavilion made it truly unforgettable!

    Full package venue

    We had a wonderful experience working with the Pavilion! Throughout the planning process, the staff was organized, easy to communicate with and always clarified any questions that we had.

    We had our rehearsal dinner at the Copperstone Inn and the food was ready for us as soon as our rehearsal was completed. We were able to set up decorations during our rehearsal which was incredibly helpful for us.

    On the day of our wedding, we had a coordinator that checked in on us to ensure everything was running smoothly. The venue has beautiful scenery for pictures. Many of our guests talked about how much they enjoyed the food.

    The service, food and drinks were all wonderful and we have such fond memories of our special day! Highly recommend!
