If you are a do-it-yourself kind of couple, the shabby chic type or just like the countryside, this…read moreis pretty much the ultimate wedding party venue. Lemme tell you why. First and foremost: the price. Think of what a venue that allows a 2-night stay for 10 people and hosts up to 150 would cost. Then divide that number in half. And then do it again. And possibly again. I am talking LESS THAN $1000. Total. Now factor in what you will save by having the freedom to bring in all of your own food and booze. It's cray cray. The house itself is gorgeous. Turn of the century, antique fixtures, new appliances. The grounds are very pretty and well kept. The owner, Jerry is very possibly the nicest and most accommodating guy on the planet. If you book here, please be kind to him. He's the best. It is a bit far if you're coming from the city (about 1.45 mins) but it's a nice little getaway and totally worth the mild inconvenience. Trust me, guys. This is the place.

I have ordered from here several times as it's only a few blocks away. The time before my most…read morerecent order was awful. I ordered a cod dinner ( which comes with choice of potato and a salad) and a pizza. My husband went to pick the order up and there was no salad or potato! In his defense, he didn't know that it was included. Baked cod was hard and tasted awful. Fast forward to last night's order (same order as the previous one but I got the cod battered). I walked into the dining area to pick up since getting a bartender to acknowledge me was fruitless. I told the waitress my name after waiting nearly 10 minutes and she rudely told me to go pick it up at the bar. I told her I ordered online and already paid so she told me to hang on. Another good 5 minutes goes by and a different waitress brings me a pizza and 1 Styrofoam container. I checked it and told her it was supposed to come with a salad. She rolled her eyes and finally ended up bringing it out. Well, the battered fish was doughy so I only ate the actual fish. They have certainly lost my business. So much for trying to support local businesses.

We visited on a Friday afternoon and it was not crowded so we had a nice conversation with the bartender ( sorry we don't have a name) as she made us some of the best cocktails we ever had. My wife had the Expresso Martini and I had an Old Fashion. Great flavor and reasonably priced. Check their website for hours and tour options. This is a real hidden gem and we can't wait to go back!

It doesn't taste one bit like "banquet food" and our guests were very impressed. My only complaint is that the event staff does not communicate well with each other. I was left to communicate messages between the building staff and the catering staff and that really wasn't my place. Their pricing is also inconsistent. While I picked up a brochure with pricing at Altgeld, I was told by catering that the price had increased years ago. I ended up paying the price in my brochure. I then attended another bridal event at the college and that same brochure was still being handed out with the supposed incorrect price.
