What a great backdrop for your wedding photos.

  1. Warehouse 109, Plainfield

This truly unique space features a gallery of antique motorcycles, a vintage bar and a 1958 Airstream reimagined as a lounge. Work with the venue’s team to design a set-up that brings your party to life in the 4,000 square feet of indoor space and 2,000 square feet of outdoor space.

  1. The Standard, Rockford

Head north for a rooftop event space that works for every season with heating or air conditioning available as needed.
