I hosted a graduation party for 22 U of I graduates and their families (130 people) at the Hudson Farm reception barn on a Saturday night. Everything about it exceeded our expectations. The facility is very clean and spacious with high ceilings, and they have it beautifully set up with nice lighting. There was plenty of room for our buffet, table seating for everyone to sit down for dinner, the 360 photo booth that we rented, the bar, and the dance floor. Though everything inside the reception barn is picture perfect, when Dan opened the barn door at about 7:00 pm, all of the guests were blown away. We had a perfect evening with pleasant temperatures and a gorgeous sunset, and it became and indoor / outdoor event in a beautiful pastoral setting. The graduates and their families had such a fantastic time in a unique setting that made for a night we will never forget. Dan was so easy to work with and he and his staff worked so hard behind the bar to provide excellent service. Highest praise for Hudson Farms - its a gem. You will not be disappointed. read more

Seamless planning, coordinating, and event experience with Hudson Farms! I'd give 10 stars if I could! I've done planning and coordinating of small and large events as a hobby for over 15 years and worked with so many venues. Hudson's has by far exceeding any expectations and is hands down superior to any other event venue I've worked with in the past. Dan at Hudson's was such a great communicator and was warm and friendly as were any other employee we came in contact with. This 6th generation family farm has turned an incredible family heritage and farm into a dream venue left us wanting for nothing! Scroll through their photos for a tiny taste of the beauty of Hudson Farms. Seeing the ceremony barn, reception barn, rustic corn fields, and gorgeous green grassy fields and exquisite sunsets in person are simply breath taking. During the evening reception, Dan has the back doors opened to reveal the perfect view of the sun setting. Hudson Farms has such pride in their meticulous grounds keeping to the point you'd be hard pressed to find a single weed, the grass freshly cut and perfect for a stroll, and even the edges of their property to the road are freshly cut making your entrance to their farm beautiful and well cared for. His recommendations for additional venders like the DJ, linen rentals, and catering were helpful and also great people to work with. I'm addition to all of these things, Dan has a HUGE inventory of decor including a large variety of centerpiece items available for the bride and groom's use saving them hundreds and hundreds of dollars in decor and all come with the rental of the space. I could go on and on but come see for yourself. The bride and groom were so incredibly happy with Hudson Farms and as a coordinator, I am beyond grateful for their ethics, attention to detail, and experience. Thank you Hudson Farms for helping create their dream wedding. read more

We recently attended our niece's wedding at Hudson Farms. What a beautiful setting for a wedding/reception! Service was out of this world.

My wife and I had our wedding reception here and it was BEAUTIFUL! The country setting was perfect. We started the night with the doors closed and air conditioning on. When the golden sunset rested above the bean field, the temperatures dropped and we opened up the reception hall. It was an indoor/ outdoor reception and the weather was amazing. If you're looking for a unique wedding reception and exceptional service, Dan Hudson will make it happen! There is a HUGE selection of decorations in the backroom to choose from and it makes planning a reception seamless and effortless. Thank you, Dan, for making our day extremely special! read more

I took a tour of Hudson Farm today on behalf of my daughter who lives in Boston. She wants to get married back in IL. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this place. If you like country settings, this is just that and more! But what I was most impressed with - or who - was Dan. I FaceTimed my daughter and her fiancé so they could see the place. Dan asked if he could take my phone and he proceeded to give them a virtual tour. He explained everything in detail and was so professional and courteous. He left out no detail! Whether or not we choose this place, I just wanted everyone to know what a great person Dan is. read more
