I live in South Carolina and was trying to plan a wedding from afar and Sherri made it so easy. All of the staff at Paul’s is amazing! They went above and beyond to make sure we had a fantastic day. They did all of the decorating with their decorations and our flowers. It looked phenomenal. Lindsay and Sherri really want to make everything perfect for your big day. They will work with you to create it.The best part of the venue is the outdoor/indoor setting. We had our ceremony outside and we able to go inside if we needed to due to weather. Highly recommend!

We can honestly not be any happier with the way our wedding and reception turned out at Paul’s Paradise. Not only is it a beautiful, well-designed venue, but working with Sherri made the entire process a dream. All of our many calls with questions were received and answered immediately and the numerous requests we made were taken care of so efficiently. There is not a single thing we would change about our day. Sherri, and all at Paul’s Paradise, deserve a huge thank you in making the day just perfect. We are just so thankful our now daughter-in-law found Paul’s Paradise and decided to give it a look. What a lucky find - it was perfect!

My daughter's wedding was this past weekend and we are still just raving about Paul's Paradise and Sherri and Chad! It was the perfect outdoor/indoor space! We held the wedding outdoor on the beautiful patio and the reception was inside. Both areas had plenty of space for guests and the amenities were amazing! We especially loved the bridal suite - so perfect for the bride and her bridesmaids to get ready! At night, the lights just made the perfect backdrop for pictures too! It was an amazing location and we are so grateful we found Paul's Paradise!!!

Paul's was a diamond in the rough of a busy wedding season. We luckily found them and worked with them for a year. Their team is amazing (especially Sherri and Chad). The space is truly unique as a venue that allows for the ceremony, pictures, and reception to be at the same site. People were gathering around the lit pergola/ceremony stage at the end of the night as a spot for one-of-a-kind pictures.We even worked together to do a tree-planting-ritual during the ceremony.... and we took that tree and planted in our home's backyard a few days later.Paul's Paradise is something special in the Greater Springfield area and our wedding was lucky to have been there. Check it out.

This venue was absolutely amazing and made planning our wedding easy and stress free! We chose the outdoor patio area and it fit our needs perfectly. Sherri did a wonderful job with the decorations that gave it that WOW factor. She exceeded my expectations with her attention to detail. The property is gorgeous and Danny was able to guide our photographer to find the perfect spots for photos that we will cherish forever. I highly recommend Paul's Paradise.

What an AMAZING venue!! My husband and I were married at Paul's Paradise on the deck overlooking a private pond on a warm summer's day surrounded by our closest friends and family in an intimate and romantic ceremony. While we brought in our own decorations, the fresh flowers and blooming trees that were already onsite made for a gorgeous backdrop! After our ceremony, we danced the night away in a venue that you truly must see to believe! The granite bars, the stone work, the stage, how is this in central Illinois?! We have been married a little over a year and SO much has been added even after our wedding!! Sherri and Danny went above and beyond to make our wedding and reception exactly what we wanted! Sherri spoiled my girls and me at the bridal suite by having fresh fruit platters, candy, champagne and juice on hand for us to enjoy and even had 80's music (my favorite) playing when we arrived to get ready! The property is beautiful and private--our own little oasis to celebrate our families coming together!
