This was the only venue I saw and was immediately certain I had found the perfect place for my wedding. Deb quickly became a friend— she’s professional, provides planning guidance, and ensures your day goes perfectly.There is a hotel right across the street (the renaissance hotel Glenview ) that is so nice! It’s perfect for out of town guests. They even provide free shuttle service to the grove if you have a certain number of guests book there! They also handed out welcome bags that I created for my guests. I also held a welcome reception the day before my wedding.The Grove is absolutely beautiful. I love that the pavilion is covered and is a sturdy structure. I also love that we had access to the house. We had a plan b in case it rained, and I felt confident that my vendors could pivot if weather became an issue. Luckily the weather was perfect! It got chilly at night, but we ended up using the venue fireplace and heaters. It was so beautiful — the fireplace added another unique element to the reception.We chose vendors that were recommended by the grove and they were all incredible. The food was amazing and the catering team was A++++.I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue.The natural beauty of the grove gave us so many options for photos. We didn’t need much decor because of how gorgeous the venue is. I couldn’t recommend a better place to get married—It’s so convenient and is perfect for an intimate fairytale wedding.I rented the grove for the entire day, which was a little more pricey but totally worth it for the getting ready photos.

I grew up in Glenview, and have loved The Grove since I was a little kid. So when my husband proposed, Redfield Estate was my top venue choice. But they're very popular! We almost weren't able to get a date in our time range, and we booked almost a year and half ahead.Deborah and Sandra made the whole booking and planning process go very smoothly, and they graciously answered my many questions. On the wedding day, the venue staff helped everything run smoothly, even when a last minute thunderstorm chased us into Redfield House just minutes before our outdoor ceremony was supposed to start.We're so glad we were able to get married at Redfield Estate. It's a beautiful, well managed venue in a lovely natural setting.

The Grove Redfield Estate was a beautiful location for our Saturday morning wedding. It was a picturesque fall day. The house was a perfect location to get ready and take pictures, and the grounds were on full display that day. It was a cool morning, but the fireplace and space heaters did a great job keeping us cozy and warm. Deborah and her team were fabulous to work with. Highly recommend!

We had our wedding at the Redfield Estate in August of 2023 and we could not have been more pleased with how everything turned out. The estate was beautifully manicured and everything was exactly as expected. From the day we signed our contract through the day of our event the communication from the venue manager, Deborah, to all our other vendors was seamless. I would highly recommend the Redfield Estate as a venue for weddings or any other event.

The Redfield Estate was the perfect venue for our wedding. We never even considered any other location to host our special day! Picturesque views from all angles, it provided the perfect backdrop. The house is beautiful, with ample accommodations for the bridal party, bar, dessert buffet, and even our traveling poet! The pavilion had more than enough space for our needs, and the grounds were the right mix of curated and natural. We even had a deer photobomb us! The staff was very nice and helpful before, during, and after the event.

As soon as we took a tour of the grounds at Redfield Estate, we knew it was the right place for our small, intimate wedding. You have to visit this place. It has all the beauty and charm while being affordable and conveniently located for those who live in the Chicagoland area, so basically the perfect wedding venue! And it absolutely works for small or large weddings. Nearly every time we mentioned Redfield Estate to someone when they asked about our wedding planning, they or someone they knew had attended an event there, and they would rave about how wonderful it is. Our photographer fell in love the moment she arrived. There are so many great photo opportunities. The beautiful craftsman home has the sweetest vintage-feeling rooms -- we loved all the pieces of history -- and the surrounding landscape is lovely. We chose to get married under the giant old oak tree on the front lawn and then gathered with family in the airy pavilion. It was perfect weather for a June day, but I honestly imagine Redfield Estate being a gorgeous, charming experience in any weather or season. The staff members are all so kind and incredibly helpful. Deborah, Lizzie, and Paul made us feel so welcome, supported, and taken care of on our wedding day and in the planning stages. If I ever had another event to plan or was recommending a venue to a friend, this would be the first place I think of!

The ceremony space is after a short path through the woods, and guests enjoyed seeing deer all during sunset!

This was the perfect venue for our brunch wedding/garden party. Definitely one to consider whether you’re doing a day or night event. The staff were very accommodating and flexible with us. Only catch is the venue space is cheap but you have to use their preferred caters which make up for that cost. That said, only thing cheaper is a restaurant or brewery.

The staff are knowledgeable and helpful, and the vendors they recommended were superb. We were able to make use of so much space by having our ceremony at the gazebo, cocktail hour outside the estate, and reception under the pavilion. We loved that the setting was already so naturally beautiful and our guests raved about this unique and lovely venue, highly recommend!

My wife and I had the pleasure of hosting our dream wedding at the breathtakingly beautiful The Grove Redfield Estate. From the moment we set foot on the property, we knew it was the perfect setting for our special day in every way.The outdoor venue was a true oasis of natural beauty, surrounded by lush greenery, majestic trees, and colorful blooming flowers. The picturesque landscape provided a stunning backdrop creating an ambiance that was both romantic and serene. The venue's staff was exceptional, going above and beyond to ensure every detail was flawlessly executed. They were responsive, attentive, and accommodating, making the planning process smooth and stress-free. Their expertise and experience were evident, and their dedication to making our day unforgettable were truly appreciated. One of the standout features of this venue was the versatility it offered. With various scenic spots, we had the freedom to customize our reception to match our vision. Whether we wanted an intimate cocktail gathering first followed by an outdoor celebration under the pavilion, or a backup indoor plan in case of heavy rain, the venue catered perfectly to every need. Regardless of seasons this venue offers a wonderful experience to share with your loves ones. Not only was the venue aesthetically pleasing, but it also provided excellent practicality. The layout ensured smooth transitions from one part of the event to another, making it easy for guests to navigate and enjoy all aspects of our celebration. Overall, our experience at The Grove Redfield Estate exceeded our expectations in every way. It was the perfect canvas for our dream wedding, creating memories that will last a lifetime. We wholeheartedly recommend this venue to anyone seeking an enchanting outdoor space to make their special day truly extraordinary.

We knew pretty soon after our first visit that we wanted to book Redfield as our wedding venue. The venue is so vibrant and lush in the summer months, and we really didn’t need a ton of florals because the venue itself is so pretty. We liked that there were a lot of different ways to use the space between the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. It was also nice not to worry too much about the weather, since we could easily move inside if it rained (it fortunately did not!). Deborah is so organized and on top of all of the details, too. We felt very confident working with her and the day went incredibly smoothly. We highly recommend Redfield if you’re looking for a stunning outdoor venue!

We had an exceptional experience planning our wedding reception at The Grove’s Redfield Estate. The Grove is maintained, operated, and publicly owned by the Glenview Park District. For this reason, venue rental rates at Redfield Estate are an unbelievable bargain. Redfield Estate can be booked to host celebrations in the morning, afternoon, or evening for quite literally a fraction of the cost of a ballroom or golf course reception venue.Despite the unbeatable price point, Redfield Estate is anything but “cheap” when it comes to quality and aesthetics. Whether you envision the luxury of a high-society wedding reception or simply want to host a semi-casual family reunion; this venue possesses the versatility to make your dream a reality. Our booking afforded us access to an absolutely enormous space that included: an architecturally stunning historic home, a multipurpose outdoor pavilion, a carriage house full of hosting amenities (e.g. tables, chairs, industrial refrigeration), and a beautiful lawn gazebo which is popular for outdoor wedding ceremonies. The natural beauty, expansiveness, and practical accommodations available make Redfield Estate a true \"one-of-a-kind\" option for an experience you will never forget. Lastly, the property is exceptionally well managed and has built up a reservoir of trusted artisan vendors. Redfield Estate actively manages a concise list of preferred partners that make it a breeze to find the best local: caterers, DJs, florists, photographers, and more. The property manager who assisted us with our wedding reception (Deborah Rabeor) seemed to have a close working relationship with each organization on Redfield Estates’ list of preferred vendors. These preexisting professional relationships greatly simplified coordination efforts on our end and made for streamlined collaboration on the day of our event.

We highly recommend Redfield Estate at the Grove (in Glenview IL) as a wedding and reception venue, for several reasons. (1) The site is beautiful. The stately house, pavilion, gazebo, and surrounding grounds invite leisurely walks, conversation, and celebration. (2) The staff, starting with manager Deborah Rabeor, but extending to every employee we met, is very responsive and helpful. On Sunday September 11, for instance, when our daughter was married at Redfield, the Chicago area was hit with an all-day, record-setting downpour. Deborah “just put on my jeans,” as she told us, and came to the venue on her day off, to make sure everything was proceeding as normally as possible. (3) The price is right. The “bang for your buck” travels a long way at Redfield, compared with other venues. We felt our money was well-spent. (4) The list of Redfield’s recommended vendors – in particular, floristry and catering – met and even exceeded our expectations. We used Bella Rue (catering), Toast & Jam (DJ), Oak Mill Bakery (cake), and Hlavacek (florist). In sum, we are certain you will be pleased with Redfield Estate and its talented, hardworking staff.

(2) The staff, starting with manager Deborah Rabeor, but extending to every employee we met, is very responsive and helpful. On Sunday September 11, for instance, when our daughter was married at Redfield, the Chicago area was hit with an all-day, record-setting downpour. Deborah “just put on my jeans,” as she told us, and came to the venue on her day off, to make sure everything was proceeding as normally as possible. (3) The price is right. The “bang for your buck” travels a long way at Redfield, compared with other venues. We felt our money was well-spent. (4) The list of Redfield’s recommended vendors – in particular, floristry and catering – met and even exceeded our expectations. We used Bella Rue (catering), Toast & Jam (DJ), Oak Mill Bakery (cake), and Hlavacek (florist). In sum, we are certain you will be pleased with Redfield Estate and its talented, hardworking staff.

If I would have known the way the new director Deborah acted and made me feel when I needed to drop off my wedding decor I made. The snide attitude and a acting like I’m getting a favor, when we have paid 5,000.00 for this venue. I would have had my wedding somewhere else. I wanted to get in my car and leave after this meeting and wanted nothing more to do with Deborah. The venue is beautiful but I would not work with Deborah again.

Deborah at The Grove is great to work with. She's clear about details, responds in a timely manner, and never leaves a loose end. Because this venue is through the parks project, there are a just a few more hoops to jump through than some other venues, but I wouldn't have wanted our wedding anywhere else.

This venue is amazing. It’s remarkably affordable for what you get. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous in the spring and summer—we barely did any decorating because the space itself was all lush green, colorful flowers, and lights strung between the trees. At least 75% of our guests came to us to gush over how beautiful the venue was and ask “How did you find this place?!” A few deer even strode by during cocktail hour and some of our guests thought perhaps we’d arranged for them to make an appearance! Just a naturally stunning place all around. Deborah was friendly, helpful, and very easy to work with. We highly recommend The Grove!

There was some initial confusion regarding our wedding date, but we loved the venue so much that we decided to push our wedding back a week so that we could have it here. It was absolutely the right decision. This venue is like a setting from a fairy tale, and was perfect for what we had in mind for our day. A few things went wrong (like they moved the chairs from where we wanted them to the other side of the gazebo an hour before the wedding and no one noticed until the guests were already seated), but it all ended up working out and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

It was an incredibly beautiful setting for our ceremony. There are so many gorgeous spots for photos, both inside and outside on the grounds, and we were able to take advantage of all of them with our photographer.

We were so thrilled to have our wedding at the Grove. Having lived nearby when we met, it was a special place to us. It is a beautiful venue, with so many options for using the property for the party, and has so many spots that work for the photos! They were accommodating when we needed to postpone due to COVID, which was a massive relief. It would be helpful to have specified times available for the rehearsals when booking the venue. We reached out to schedule earlier than the contract indicated, and already the day before the wedding was pretty much entirely booked other than a morning slot, which threw a bit of a hitch into our schedule for that day. In addition, it seemed that some of the stress of the 2021 season was impacting the communications and interactions with us leading up to the wedding. However, the day of caretakers were so helpful and checked in occasionally to make sure all was well and the wedding day as a whole was beautiful. Overall, we are pleased with Redfield Estate as a venue!

We had our wedding at The Grove Redfield Estate in July of 2021. I can not recommend this venue enough. They were so easy to work with throughout the whole process. Touring, picking a date, going over the contract, and finally booking was so smooth and they were so helpful with answering our questions and giving us advice. Their list of recommended vendors was so helpful to us. Almost every vendor we ended up using was from their list, and they were all incredible. It was so nice to have people that had worked at this venue before and the grove obviously takes recommending vendors very seriously because every single one of them surpassed our expectations. They were very open and honest about updating us on covid regulations and restrictions, and while luckily we didn’t need to, they stated in our contract that we would be able to reschedule if needed. This gave us a peace of mind while planning under such uncertain circumstances. On our wedding day they went above and beyond to make sure everything was running smoothly and we had everything we needed. On top of just an overall pleasant experience working with them, the space is absolutely gorgeous. All my guests raved about it and my now husband and I were so thrilled with how beautiful everything looked. They work hard to keep the grounds looking great and it shows. We also really liked being able to have our ceremony and reception at one site while being able to use two different areas. This helped with set up as well as gave our guests two different, beautiful settings without having to travel. The only thing I would warn people looking for a venue about, is that their space is available to book on all days of the week, so planning a rehearsal for the day prior was a little tricky. However, they were very open about that from the start and worked hard to help us find a time that worked. I am so glad we went with The Grove for our wedding and encourage anyone looking in the Chicago area to check them out!

It helped that we had amazing weather (partly sunny and 78), but we were so pleased. The atmosphere was perfect for our dream wedding, it was lush and beautiful and gave us the privacy we desired. We would highly recommend this venue, we feel so lucky to have shared our big day with all our friends and family in such a beautiful location!

We could not have picked a better venue. The Redfield Estate is seriously a hidden gem on the North Shore and I would highly recommend to anyone looking for an outdoor venue! Our wedding was in October with unpredictable weather. Luckily, The Redfield Estate has so many options for outdoor, indoor or a combination of the two for your wedding. We had our ceremony in the pavilion with a roaring fire lit behind us (so romantic!) and our reception was in the gorgeous estate. We worked mostly with Deborah and she was amazing! She was always quick to respond to my questions, very flexible and accommodating. After our wedding we heard from so many guests who were blown away with the beauty of Redfield Estate and told us “we want to go back just to walk around!\" The natural beauty of Redfield Estate made our night magical.

We had a gorgeous September wedding at The Grove Redfield Estate. The staff was incredibly helpful from the beginning of the planning process - responsive, friendly, insightful, and helpful. Our day was simply magical and far surpassed anything we could've hoped for. We got married at the gazebo and had our reception in the pavilion, we had about 110 guests on a Friday night. The grove offers so many beautiful spots to sneak away for portraits, our guests absolutely loved the caterer and DJ (from the Grove's preferred vendor list - which is a little small, but high quality selections, we found). There are no words to describe how beautiful the evening became once the tree line was lit up by the DJ lights, and the lighting Redfield Estate provides was turned on -- I wish it could've been captured in a photograph.We had the night of our lives and the wedding of our dreams, and we wouldn't change a thing.

I never dreamed of a fairy tale wedding, but that is exactly what we experienced at the wonderful Grove Redfield Estate. The setting was breathtaking and every detail came together as we had hoped. It couldn't have happened without the capable assistance of Carol and Deborah and their entire staff. It was a pleasure working with all of them; every vendor they referred us to exceeded our expectations. If you choose this amazing venue, you can have every confidence you will feel supported during stressful wedding planning. Every question and issue we faced was met with prompt, courteous and efficient responses. This is a first class organization that deserves its 5 start reviews without question. Thank you for helping create a day we will never forget!

There was constant communication and detail planning with them and my mom, who was planning the wedding, that made our day so perfect. We had three different locations we utilized throughout the wedding, and each part of the grounds were immaculate! Everyone kept commenting on how picturesque the venue was! We couldn't have asked for a better location. We had endless spots to take pictures in, the tinker lights made it beautiful at night, and the ability to have the ceremony in the woods, cocktail hour in the back yard/patio area, and reception under the pavilion made it so much better than a typical wedding hall venue!

The venue is such a tranquil place surrounded in trees and beautiful sculptures. Our guests absolutely loved being able to soak in the picturesque landscape for their own personal photos. When we first came across this venue a year ago, there were only two available days left, so we didn’t hesitate to book it!

This was the most beautiful wedding venue. The staff is easy to work with, and the outside area is beyond perfect. We had our ceremony in the gazebo and our reception in the pavilion. Both areas are amazing, and when it starts to get dark the gardens are lit up with beautiful string lights. Our guests had such a fun time dancing and hanging outside by the bar. It is a very easy venue for guests to get to, and most of the local hotels can provide shuttles to the Grove if you have a room block. The price is very reasonable, and it's the perfect size for a smaller wedding. We had about 70 guests and everyone easily fit inside the Pavilion with plenty of room for dancing and food stations. I would highly recommend using the The Grove for your wedding.

The Grove was a perfect venue for our wedding! The price can't be beat and the beauty of the grounds/house is breathtaking! You don't have to use a lot of decorations to get great looking photos. Additionally, working with Carol and her team was very easy. They helped explain every detail, gave us a list of recommended vendors, and gave input into logistics. We ended up having the ceremony outside under the pavilion and the reception inside the house. We had a total of 67 people and everyone fit easily downstairs in the house. I was a little worried about having to break down dinner tables in the great room to make room for the dance floor, but it wasn't a big deal or awkward at all. We put a Photo Booth upstairs and left the get ready rooms closed to store our belongings and again there was plenty of space for all our guests. If you are having a wedding under 100 people, this is a great venue to consider!

The Redfield Estate was the perfect venue for our wedding. It’s a beautiful property and an incredible deal. You get the entire grounds of the estate as well as the house for your use during the time of your rental. The grounds managers were very helpful leading up to our wedding and during the wedding itself. It seemed as though no one was there until you needed them and they would magically appear. The staff of the Redfield Estate were happy to plan the logistics and time the drop off of items at the venue ahead of the event and were responsive to email and phone calls. The space at the estate really speaks for itself and is adaptable to your vision. We got married under the gazebo, had our cocktail hour on the patio and the reception under the pavilion. The set-up is such that you’re able to have a magical outdoor wedding with all of the comforts of being indoors. We highly recommend this venue to anyone who loves nature, a unique and cost-effective venue with lots of romance.

The Redfield Estate was the perfect venue for our wedding. It’s a beautiful property and an incredible deal. You get the entire grounds of the estate as well as the house for your use during the time of your rental. The grounds managers were very helpful leading up to our wedding and during the wedding itself. It seemed as though no one was there until you needed them and they would magically appear.

My now husband and I got married at The Grove-Redfield Estate the first weekend in June. We had guests from all over the US who said multiple times it was the most beautiful venue they had ever been to. We live in the city and we’re initially a tad hesitant about getting married at a venue in the burbs and that is primarily outside for our size wedding (110). But the Grove and the staff day of and leading up to the event were simply amazing and a joy to work with. The space is so versatile and you can do so many things to make your day fit what you want. Both Carol and Deborah were incredibly helpful leading up to our wedding and the day of groundskeepers were charming and super helpful. We had our ceremony in front of the outdoor pavilion, cocktails and yard games by the house &oak tree and reception inside the pavilion. The weather was pretty cool for early June so we did end up asking for heaters and the fireplace to be lit. The day of guys did it seemlessly and our guests greatly appreciated it. You can decide those things day of. The space was absolutely gorgeous and the grounds are truly picturesque for a wedding. My one piece of advice is If we had anymore guests, I am not sure it would have been as comfortable. The tables they offer are great but only seat 6-7 people. For us we had to squeeze 8 at a few to make our tables work which wasn’t a huge deal but is something to keep in mind if you utilize the outdoor pavilion for your reception. The house is also beautiful and can be used for your buffet, bar, desserts, or back up space in case it rains but again, it would be tight if you have a wedding our size or slightly bigger. We honestly loved our wedding day and felt like The Grove was a big reason why it went as well as it did. I highly recommend this to any couple who wants an outdoor wedding for 100 or less guests.

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.

The grounds are also perfect for outdoor events- we had planned on having our ceremony at the gazebo on grounds, but when the temperatures proved too cold, the rest of the staff at the Grove were there to help arrange the changes and see that our night went smoothly.Thank you so so much to everyone at the Redfield Estate- this venue and the people within helped me create a night that I will never forget!

The venue area for the ceremony was outstanding in terms of elegance and class. The grounds were well kept, neat and tidy. The house itself was very clean and orderly. We had no problems with setup for the ceremony and everything went as smooth as possible considering it was a very rainy day. All of the staff on grounds that day were extremely helpful and courtious. If there is one item that could have been improved it would be the coordinating staff prior to the actual wedding day. There was not a specific instance and no harsh words were exchanged but it seemed like everytime the bride and I had a request the coordinating staff responded in a very black and white straight foward answer which was not very welcoming. When we did book the venue which was for a Saturday we were not informed that the Friday night before the wedding was already booked, so our rehersal walkthrough had to be performed on the wednesday the week before. This was something that made logistics and coordination more difficult and would have been nice to know when we booked the venue. All in all the venue was great and the groundscrew and help the day of the wedding were all amazing but I would suggest having a wedding planner or a list of pre thought out requirements prior to booking the event to ensure all questions are answered appropriately.

Great place to host a wedding. Staff is very accommodating and the estate is beautiful. Just be prepared for an outdoor event if you have more than 80 guests as the house is a bit small (it can hold up to 120 but your party will be held in multiple rooms).Also, try to think what it would look like at night. With the small string lights throughout, it truly makes a magical evening.Anyways, book early as it tends to fill up way in advance. They try to split an afternoon and evening ceremony/reception but if you get in there early enough, they will rent to you for both times slots at a reduced rate. This gives you and your guests more time for photos!

I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about The Grove. Now I know I may be biased since it was my own wedding, but it was without a doubt the most magical fairytale like wedding I have ever been to! The grounds are breathtaking, especially with the bistro lights at night. Every minute of the evening we had someone coming up to us telling us that it was the most beautiful wedding they have ever been to! We had about 85 guests which was the perfect size for an outdoor wedding in the pavillion. We loved, as well as our guests, that they could walk around outside and see all the beautiful landscape, instead of being stuck in one room. Carol and Shelley were exceptional from the very start and always very quick to answer all our questions leading up to the event. The on-site staff the day of the event were also extremely helpful.

Working with Shelley and Carol (venue and rental coordinators) was also such a joy, they're readily available to any questions you may have and provided great insight and ideas for the event. On our wedding day, the weather turned out to be a bit rainy. We ended up moving the ceremony site to the pavilion last minute and absolutely loved how cozy and comfortable it was in there! Our friends and family members loved the scenery and the pictures turned out gorgeous. I highly recommend this venue for your ceremony and/or reception.

This was the PERFECT venue. I always wanted an outdoor wedding, and the Redfield Estate allowed us to have a beautiful ceremony in a simple, but pretty gazebo and the reception in a covered, outdoor pavilion. Had it rained, we could have moved either the ceremony or reception indoors to the estate house, but the pavilion was also well covered and could have protected guests from potential rain as well. Throughout the night I received so many compliments from guests about how beautiful the venue was and such a rare find in the Chicagoland suburbs. The Grove staff was great, making sure we had access to everything we needed and even offering suggestions about using the fireplace vs. warming lamps, as the day of our wedding was fairly cool for August. When we first met with the Grove staff, they provided a list of catering vendors. While the list of pre-approved vendors is fairly short, we were able to find one that met our needs perfectly. (You can also use outside caterers, but for an additional fee.) It was also great that the Grove supplies all of the tables and chairs for both the ceremony and reception, so you don't have to also have to find a company to rent furniture from. It was a truly magically place to get married and I would highly recommend the Redfield Estate to anyone who is looking to host an outdoor event.

The Redfield Estate is a gorgeous setting to have a smaller-sized wedding (<125 guests) ceremony and reception. The buildings and grounds are the perfect close-to-nature backdrop: well-manicured lawns, great foliage, beautiful fountains and statuary, as well as many seasonal flower containers. At night, the property around the main house and pavilion comes alive with lanterns and string lights that extend the party beyond the pavilion alone. Carol and Shelley (The Rental Coordinators) are wonderful to work with, and they direct you deftly through your contract and their extensive list of preferred vendors, providing open-house type tastings throughout the year.A few tips: 1) For summer weddings, pay close attention to the mosquito season. Our July wedding unfortunately had some very hungry mosquitoes that forced us to move our ceremony from the gazebo area to the pavilion. It was still a gorgeous setting, but the change did cause a little anxiety.2) With any outdoor wedding - ALWAYS have a rain plan in place. In the case of The Redfield Estate, you will coordinate this with your catering vendor ahead of time. 3) Understand how the size of your wedding may affect indoor plans. If your reception is inside The Redfield Estate (as opposed to in the outdoor pavilion), you may have to break up your dinner guests into two floors if the numbers exceed 60 guests.

They had beautiful flowers potted in urns throughout the estate and lights strung up everywhere and in the trees at night. I had the wedding of my dreams here.

Highly recommend only using the vendors on their preferred list because they know exactly how everything works. We could not have asked for a better day.

The Grove is a beautiful venue that was perfect for our 75 guest wedding. The vintage and homey appeal is just what we were looking for. We got married in the Pavilion in front of the fireplace which was absolutely gorgeous.

I just had my October wedding there and it was absolutely fabulous! I used the gazebo for my ceremony, and the pavilion for the reception. It was executed flawlessly, and I picked Hel's Kitchen from their preferred caterer list. We chose to have a daytime wedding (11am) as the other option was after 7pm and it would have been dark and pretty late to have dinner afterwards since we wanted everything in one place. Their staff is very professional and accommodating. We added some pumpkins as the decorations are pretty minimal as the nature setting is so stunning by itself. The one issue I had was not being told before I booked this venue that the indoor seating is 105 at the most. I thought it was 125, since thats what the outdoor seating capacity is, but knowing Chicago weather, I didn't want to take any chances. You will also need quite a few signs if you decide to get married in the gazebo so people do not get lost as it is a bit hidden. Overall, this is an amazing venue, and they know what they are doing. I loved it!

When my bride (then bride-to-be) and I began looking for venues, we looked into at least a dozen places closer to home before making the trip out to The Redfield Estate (which was about a 45 minute trip for us and our families). However, from the moment we stepped on the grounds we knew this was the right place. The property is simply breathtaking, and there are a lot of beautiful spaces that can be used for many things in a wedding, outdoors and indoors. Our wedding was an evening wedding, and unfortunately the rain also wanted to attend. The staff at The Grove was beyond helpful in keeping us up-to-date on the weather, providing a gorgeous white umbrella for the bride when we did have to move outdoors during the rain, and helping to mop up any water that was tracked inside before slipping became a concern. There were also some powerful outdoor fans provided to keep our covered pavilion cool, when everyone was dining and dancing outdoors. I think I need to find another excuse to plan an event here, because it was beyond beautiful, and I can't wait to return (hopefully without rain clouds this time).

The Grove was an exceptional place to hold a wedding for my daughter and I'm deeply appreciative of the venue for the support it provided when we changed from an outside service to an inside service at the last minute because of rain. The pavilion for dinner was a wonderful venue and a good time was had by all. Thank you for hosting a memorable occasion.

I recently had my fairytale wedding at the Grove Redfield Estate on August 13, 2016 and it was amazing. From the staff to the grounds and the service was impeccable. Carol and Shelley were great to work with from the beginning all the way to the end. I would recommend this beautiful place to other brides who want to stray away from the boring old banquet halls with no windows lol. I also wanted to have it outdoors and the Grove made it possible with it's beautiful well manicured grounds. Pssst! there is a hidden gazebo towards the back of the house. My guests were so impressed. \"Best wedding Ever\" may I quote. I especially loved the scenery at night, it looked magical. A big thanks to Catered by Design for great food and presentation, An event less ordinary for arranging my day of.. and last but not least my photographer Jay from TSL who was a pleasure to work with.
