There are so many wonderful things about the Pavilion. From day one of touring the venue up to the final minutes of the reception, the Pavilion and their incredible staff are there for you. The space is absolutely beautiful, making it easy to collaborate and make it your own for your special day (it doesn’t take a lot BTW because of its natural beauty). Throughout the process I had the pleasure of working with Lexi, Stacie, and Jill - all are so responsive and helpful! They seriously answered every question I threw their way (even the questions my mother asked that they had already answered LOL). The day of staff and coordinators are also just out of this world. Katie and Taylor were the SWEETEST and helped to make the day run smoothly. The Pavilion blew all of our guests away not only with its looks, but with the food. Henrici’s catering review is simple, 16/10. It was so delicious, and since the day I’ve had numerous people tell me they dream of the white cheddar potatoes. I will continue to praise everything about the Pavilion because it was truly magical. I’m counting down the days until I can make it back up there for another wedding because everything about it is perfect. Thank you again for making our wedding everything we could have ever imagined and more. I will forever be obsessed with the Pavilion and all the magic it holds. Reviewed on 09-12-2023

We cannot say enough about The Pavilion, Lexi, Jill, Stacie, Nikki, and their team. Our wedding was everything we could have dreamed of and more and it is all thanks to this wonderful venue and team of people. Nikki is the best wedding coordinator there is, making us feel comfortable and confident and just incredibly helpful every step of the way the last 4 months. Jill and Stacie made catering easy! The food was all INCREDIBLE and our guests have still not stopped talking about their dishes. Overall, we cannot recommend this venue enough. It is gorgeous and the perfect canvas for anyone's big day. THANK YOU! Reviewed on 28-12-2023

Truly a dream come true. Everyone was so kind, professional, and hard-working and incredibly patient. From our first tour 2 years before our wedding to our actual wedding day, we knew from the second we stepped inside that we were getting married here. The venue is absolutely breath taking! Our guests raved about how delicious the food was and how beautiful the venue is. Not to mention that it was the best wedding they have ever been to!

The Pavilion was just a dream come true! We can't thank them enough for all their time and effort that went into making our day so special from our first meeting until the moments before walking down the aisle, they were so attentive to ever detail and made our wedding a day to forever remember! The whole staff and coordinators are so nice and organized. Throughout the process I had the pleasure of working with Lexi, Stacie, and Jill - they all are so responsive and helpful! They answered my multiple questions and I'm sure I asked the same question more than once and they still answered me. The Pavilion made the experience for our guests so wonderful that after our wedding I heard many compliments about it, especially about the food! Henrici's catering was more than perfect, our guests and family couldn't stop talking about how delicious it was! I'm so glad we found the Pavilion and that we had our wedding in it.

We had a wonderful experience working with The Pavilion. The beauty of the venue and the pricing (compared to venues of similar quality/atmosphere in the greater Chicago area) were what initially attracted us. However, the food through Henrici's (the exclusive in-house catering) and venue staff were incredible assets. We were very lucky to work with Lexi, Jill, and Stacie, all of whom were incredibly patient with the many questions I had throughout the process. Guests repeatedly told us how excellent the food & beautiful the venue was, asking how we found the place a couple hours away from home. We could not recommend The Pavilion more!

I cannot say enough good things about this venue and the entire staff, I could honestly probably write an entire book about the great experience that we had. From start to finish, everything was wonderful. Our engagement was over two years long, they touched base without being overwhelming while our wedding was still many months in advance. When the wedding got closer, they reached out to cover all the bases for me so I had minimal work to do. They answered any and all of my questions quickly and kindly. They are incredibly accommodating to special requests and go above and beyond to make sure your wedding is perfect from start to finish. Lexi, Jill and Stacie in the office are absolutely wonderful. Lexi was the biggest help and a huge life saver the day of with answering questions and running around the grounds to make sure things were done. The food was to die for, I had (and still have) guests telling me it is the best food they have EVER had at a wedding. We opted not to do the tasting and were not disappointed in the slightest. The venue was beautiful, we had to go indoors last minute because of the rain and they made the transition incredibly smooth. I seriously could go on and on. I've been to and been in a lot of weddings but they are top notch. I will recommend them again and again!! Reviewed on 17-10-2023

A truly gorgeous venue with some of the most helpful staff you could possibly find! Jill, Staci, and Lexi were so helpful throughout the whole planning process, helping us make a schedule and promptly answering all of our questions, big and small. On the day of our wedding, Danielle, one of our day-of coordinators, helped us arrange everything and go over all of the details, including getting a tram for our first look photos and making sure that we would have a cart to help some of our older relatives get around. The staff made sure we knew who we could talk to if we had any questions throughout the day. The food from Henrici's was also excellent, and they worked with us to make sure that everybody who had allergies or dietary restrictions had a meal. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful the venue was or how good the food was. We're so happy we picked the Pavilion at Orchard Ridge Farms for our wedding venue. Reviewed on 17-09-2023

The Venue is absolutely breathtaking, my guests are still talking about my Wedding months later. The venue was very responsive to any questions I had throughout my planning process. Catering is in house but the food is absolutely DELICIOUS so you won't be disappointed there.As beautiful as the venue is, there are some things you should consider prior, and be sure to read your contract thoroughly and budget accordingly. Here were some of my challenges with the Pavilion: menu prices were increased for my reception after I had already signed off on the proposal (this is in the fine print of the contract so be sure to read it). Open bar does not include table wine, there will be an extra charge per table. The bridal suite opens at 8am, if you have a large bridal party and need to start getting ready earlier, you will be charged extra to use the suite before 8am. It may also cost you extra if you decide to do a first look photoshoot, because transportation around the property (130 acres) is only free for 1 hour AFTER your ceremony. Even after paying the extra fee for transportation before my ceremony, some of the staff told my group they were going to leave us there and we'd have to walk back if we didn't finish our photos because our hour was up. Unfriendly comments on your wedding day don't feel good, and they could have went about it more politely. The venue is also in a relatively remote area, so if you are doing hotel room blocks I reccommend budgeting for shuttle buses. Reviewed on 19-07-2023

The food is Michelin star level (not to mention the extensive menu options). My guests won't stop talking about the food, which is rarely so memorable from a wedding. Delicious is such an under statement. The staff is the best of the best. They answered endless emails from an anxious and overwhelmed bride that was in over her head with wedding planning- and made no question feel stupid. Our day wedding went off without a SINGLE hiccup and our day of coordinator (Taylor) exceeded my every expectation. The entire staff deserves Nobel Prizes and I'm not over exaggerating in the slightest. The bridal suite alone, which includes a FULL kitchen and salon, was a dream and made a long day of \"getting ready\" that much more special. The venue gave us a list of vendors they frequently work with and we choose most of them for a DJ (Luxe Productions), floral (Event Floral), desserts, etc. Top notch. It made everything that much easier working with people who do most of their work at this specific venue- but we also had no problem with vendors in the area who needed to travel.Hotels near by? Check out Downtown Beloit- just ten minutes away with gorgeous accommodation options and restaurants for guest to enjoy before or after the wedding. We had a smaller guest list (around 75) but could have had hundreds and still comfortably fit everyone. Even with a smaller group, the space was absolutely perfect.

For our late November wedding, we had both our ceremony and reception inside The Pavilion and we could not have been happier with how everything turned out. The service was incredible, with coordinators that were eager to help with anything we needed. We appreciate Nikki, Lexi, Jill, Stacie, and Carly so much! The staff in general was extremely friendly, polite, accommodating, and a pleasure to work with. Henrici's is the caterer for The Pavilion, and the food was outstanding. With many unique food options that also tasted delicious, the catering certainly stands out from your typical wedding food. So many of our guests told us it was the best wedding food that they have ever had. Additionally, there is a house available to rent on the same property as the venue called the Copperstone Inn, which brought our wedding weekend to the next level. It is a very unique and amazing place to stay for your wedding party and/or family, and is so convenient for the bride & groom to be in close proximity all weekend. Overall, The Pavilion at Orchard Ridge Farms is such an amazing and unique wedding venue, with a stunning stone fireplace, high ceilings, windows showcasing a beautiful pond, and even the bathrooms are cool looking. Many of our guests came to the wedding from the western suburbs, but they all said the drive to Rockton was more than worth it for the unique and beautiful space.

The space, while gorgeous, is neutral as well, so you can really make it your own with flowers, fabric, and whatever else you choose. So many guests commented on the grounds and views, and those same spaces allowed us to get some incredible pictures from the day. What I would really like to mention about this venue is the staff. Everyone I worked with was kind, patient, and understanding as we navigated planning a wedding for the 1st time. A few people I would like to mention specifically are:Jill and Carly, who helped me through most of the planning stages. They were always willing to answer a question or help me with annoying changes when there were last-minute alterations to the plan. I truly felt like no question was too silly and I appreciate that! Taylor was our guide during the rehearsal the day before. She was also so helpful and kind, and really worked with us and the pastor to make sure everything would look great and run smoothly. Finally, Lexi is someone I cannot give enough praise to. She was our day-of coordinator and I know I did not make things easy on her. My ceremony was supposed to be outside and it rained most of the morning, so I was very upset at having to make the change to inside. By about 45 minutes before the ceremony we had clear skies, and she worked with us when I told her to completely change course and set up for an outdoor ceremony again. She was gracious throughout the entire day and put up with SO much. I am eternally grateful for her patience and willingness to do whatever it took to make sure my day was as perfect as it was.

Jill was extremely helpful, kind, and her communication was beyond timely. I can not rave about her enough. The Pavilion does have a contracted caterer, Henrici's. Their food was amazing and I have never heard so many people say \"That was the best food I've ever had at a wedding\". Our day of coordinator Nikki was also great! She made sure the rehearsal ran so smoothly and the day of I didn't have to worry about one thing when it came to vendors getting set up! The venue is gorgeous and so spacious to the point where you can have any table layout you want and still have room for dancing. We did a giant kings table with 45 people and Jill made that happen for us! I keep telling my husband that I had so much fun I wish we could do it all over again! The post wedding blues are real!Cons:About 5ish months before the big day Stacie contacted me to let me know they had to raise their food pricing due to COVID. I understand that COVID has impacted food pricing, however I felt the upcharge was a little ridiculous... an additional 6 dollars per plate and an additional 2 dollars per person for two hors d'oeuvres. While it doesn't seem like much it does add up when you have nearly 200 guests. On the plus side, they did tell us that the bar package pricing would not change. Unfortunately, we tried to upgrade our bar package a few weeks before the wedding and we were then told that we would have to pay for the new pricing of the deluxe bar package because \"she didn't think we would want to change it\". If you want to take wedding party photos before the ceremony, know that they do not provide the tram before the ceremony free of charge. So if you would like to take photos on different parts of the property and not sweat your butt off walking to those locations you have to pay an additional couple hundred dollars to have the tram before the ceremony. These cons are small, however while you're dealing with all of the details and stress of planning a wedding it can be frustrating in the moment. Reviewed on 22-07-2022

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!

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.

Caitlin Amundson(bride)2 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-04-2019 The Pavilion is a beautiful venue. We also stayed at the Inn and we were so happy we had a couple days after the wedding to relax there. It was so peaceful. The only thing was that the venue never ever mentioned or showed me the bridal suite with the SALON in there to get ready. When we went for our visit they simply told me to stop at the suite on our way out. That some stuff will be closed off because they use it as an office. Well the salon must have been the closed off part. This is a destination venue and had we had known there was a place to get ready there my wedding day as a bride would have been so much different. My wedding day was so hectic and crazy because of having to time everything out because we did not know we could have all that space to get ready in. I got married there 2 months ago and I still am so upset to my stomach about it. So while your planning a beautiful wedding at the pavilion and you read this review at least you know that is an option. Because like I said no one told me. They also said there would be a bar in the back behind the fireplace for cocktail hour. I was SHOCKED AND HORRIFIED after the ceremony when the bar was not there!!!!!! The guests were then sent to the bar in front of the fireplace and saw the whole room flip. This made our photo time with family insanely hectic as well. It made us feel like we had to rush and we did not get all the pictures we wanted. We did not do the bar package, but we would have been more than happy to pay for an extra bar set up. We thought the bar set up we were paying was covering everything. Again no one kept me in the loop. Yes the pavilion is beautiful and the people are so nice. I am just so upset to have TWO AWFUL SURPRISES ON MY WEDDING DAY!!!!!!!!!!! The venue could have prevented this. If you decide to have your wedding day there make sure you know everything the venue has to offer so you don't feel like you spent so much money and didn't get your money's worth. Plus your wedding day will run a lot smoother because my wedding day was anything but that. I wish Kacey and Jennifer would have helped me plan my day to a T like everyone else has said they had with their experience. I'm literally still crying as I write this. Reviewed on 22-02-2018

The team was so accommodating and made it so easy to work with. Once we were able to nail down the guests, we had to do some minor tweaking to the seating arrangements, but it was so easy.

Not only is the Pavilion beyond beautiful, the ceremony spot outside between two beautiful trees was something off of Pinterest. The planning process working with Kacie was awesome. I had 4000 random questions, and she would sometimes answer in minutes, if not then hours. I also loved that the preferred vendors they provide are so used to working with Pavilion brides. Event Floral, Rockton Sanctuary Spa, and Pastor Dan Herman on their list were better than I EVER could have found, they were a dream, and I didn't even have to search. The food was amazing, many guests said it was the best wedding food they ever had. My only dislike was the limited choices for the bar since we are beer people, but no one noticed that but us. So many of our guests who go to weddings every weekend of summer said it was the most beautiful wedding venue they've ever seen. I loved that everyone could play lawn games and drink outside, then come inside to dance and have fun :) You may think the price to rent the Pavilion is a bit steep and I would have agreed with you a year ago, but the service you are provided makes it 100% worth it. Kacie & a colleague coordinating our day with headsets, catering to my every request throughout the wedding day and helping keeping things on track would have cost $5,000 if I outsourced to wedding coordinators. We will forever cherish our wedding day that went off without a hitch, so unheard of. If you're on the edge, and you want a perfect and stress free wedding day, look no further than here!!!

The location is beautiful and being able to use the whole grounds for photographs made it possible to get some memorable photographs. We had our wedding outdoors by the pond and the chairs were setup for us to accommodate all of our guests. The Pavilion really made it easy to plan this wedding and took the stress away from the small things. The payment for the Pavillion and ceremony was divided to make the payments manageable and they were really accommodating with the dates and the payment types. We initially met with them to go over our estimated guest count and main wedding details and then constantly kept in contact. The staff was very happy to answer all questions that we had and responded quickly to our emails. They even helped suggest possible rehearsal dinner locations and hair and makeup salons. They sent us a layout of the tables and placement of all items that we could alter to our liking set up exactly how many chairs per table there would be. Also, they allowed us to come in the day before and decorate the pavilion prior to the rehearsal. We had two different food tastings from Henrici’s for the main course and appetizers. The food was delicious (even the children’s meals looked amazing) and we received many compliments from our guests. Henrici’s was very accommodating with our wedding cake and dessert table and stored both until it was time to set them up. I was extremely pleased with the fact that they had set up the dessert table for us and we did not have to worry about anything ourselves. At the end of the night the staff was extremely helpful with cleanup and help to gather any decorations that we were keeping or tossing.

They handle so much of the run around so you don't have to. The Pavilion perfectly fit my theme of country chic to a T!. They have the Copperstone Inn up the hill (walking distance) which my family chose to rent out for the weekend. I am so glad we did, it was a beautiful B&B and again the service was fantastic. It was great to know we didn't have to travel anywhere the night before or the night of the wedding. Highly reccomended by my husband and I! Reviewed on 15-10-2012
Talitha Pierceson(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-06-2012 The Pavilion at Orchard Ridge Farms met and exceeded our expectations. We wanted an airy, romantic, classy, yet rustic wedding and this location had it all! And outdoor location for our ceremony and the indoor reception area were perfect to hold all 300 of our guests. The staff were outstanding with their service, always finding ways to serve. Our guests had a blast and we loved every minute of our special day here! Reviewed on 22-07-2012
Jessica Leeper(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-06-2012 When selecting a venue for our June 2012 wedding, my husband and I had a few caveats. The location could not be a typical wedding venue, it had to portray quaint and rustic feeling that we wanted, and it needed to reflect our personalities. I stumbled across the Copper Stone Inn on the way to my in laws, and was attracted to the beauty of the house itself, not knowing that the property also held a beautiful farm that could hold larger events. We decided to drive up to Rockton on a Sunday afternoon to check out the Pavilion and the wedding space. As soon as I walked into the Pavilion I knew this was it. The room is warm, yet grand. The floor to ceiling stone fireplace, wrap around windows on either side of the barn, and magnificent open ceilings took our breath away. The Pavilion was the perfect blend of the rustic feel that we wanted and modern elegance any bride would swoon over. In addition to the wonderful property, we were treated with 5 star service. From our first meeting through the day of our wedding, both Jennifer and Kacie were the epitome of the perfect wedding coordinators. Emails and phone calls were quickly returned. They guided us through the process of selecting a caterer, helped us create the timeline to our events, and worked seamlessly with our vendors. Our wedding day came together so perfectly because of the professionalism and help from the staff. All of our guests raved about the Pavilion as well as the Orchard Ridge property - everywhere they looked there was something new to see! The staff at the Pavilion was nothing less than gracious. We cannot rave enough about the Pavilion at Orchard Ridge, and its wonderful staff. We look forward to the day we can host a repeat of our wedding reception - perhaps a 25th wedding anniversary- or sooner! Reviewed on 12-07-2012
Kate White(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-11-2011 Wedding Date: 11/11/2011\rCeremony Time and Location: Outside on top of hill between tress at night.\rReception Location: The Pavilion\rOur Package: Rented the entire Bed and Breakfast on Thursday and Friday Night and the Pavilion for the reception. \rGenerally\rThe venue is hands down gorgeous and stunning and it will blow your guests away. The Bed and Breakfast is truly a luxury getaway that serves the most delicious and gorgeous breakfast that includes fruit, drinks and an entree. The Pavilion is large enough to accommodate a lot of people but still comforting enough to make your guest feel at home. \rPros* The Pavillion is gorgeous! * It is large\r* It is in a reasonable location\r* The staff at the B&B was out of this world kind and generous. Cons\r* It was very expensive\r* A LOT of restrictions (B&B Rental and usage of Vendors) \r* Not a lot of places to hold the ceremony if weather is an issue Reviewed on 28-11-2011
Danna Fleming(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-10-2011 First of all, the Spanton's are very gracious. They have put such love and care into this entire grounds. The venue is perfect! We chose the oak trees but there are other options for a ceremony. The bridal suite is beyond words! And the staff was more than helpful the entire day to myself, my husband, my bridal party and my guests. I felt like royalty. I was so blessed to be able to have our wedding here and we will be back to visit the inn....over and over. Memories were made and it wouldn't have been what it was without the Pavilion, the staff, and Copperstone! Thank you! Reviewed on 20-10-2011
jessica burkart(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-08-2011 I live in Chicago and wanted a venue that had a spot to for an outdoor ceremony as well as a large indoor space that could hold the possible 200 guests. When I went to visit The Pavilion I walked in and knew this was the place. The venue is amazing. It is a new building, only been doing weddings for two years, so everything is in great shape. The bathrooms are fun and spotless. The grounds are perfectly groomed. The people who helped me plan my wedding, Jennifer and Jessica, both did a great job dealing with my needs. \rThere is also a beautiful bed and breakfast on the property which you can rent for the weekend. This was great for us because it housed everyone in the bridal party (we had a small bridal party). The breakfasts included were fresh and large - props to the chef.\rOnly disappointing things are - since it is a new venue there are a couple of kinks that need working out. for example a bridge over the ravine, benches by the pond, and possible a larger list of preferred venders. Also the owners are a bit tough to work with when it came to having people at the bed and breakfast the day of the wedding.\rOverall fantastic place for a bride looking to do something a bit unique with a beautiful rural scenic background.
