We attended a wedding this past weekend here. Erin's Pavilion is located in Southwind Park in…read moreSpringfield, IL. It is a relatively new facility that just opened in March of last year. Both the bride and groom were from Springfield, IL and had family and friends from the area but had quite a few of us driving from out of town (we decided to make the three hour drive from Chicago). As an out of town guest, it was one of the most seamless wedding events we've attended with everything in the same space. The groom was Indian while the bride was Caucasian and they managed to have an Indian ceremony first followed by the traditional Christian ceremony in the same space both which were well done. The mandap with the fire for the Indian ceremony perfectly doubled for the Christian ceremony. Although we hadn't brought our three year old with it was nice that they had a playground close by so the perfect spot to entertain little ones. The weather was nice so during cocktail hour on the terrace it was nice to be able to walk around the pond they have behind while waiting for the reception to begin. The staff perfectly transformed both the room we were in for the ceremonies as well as the neighboring room into a great banquet hall for the 250-300 guests that attended. It was a wonderful spot to have a wedding and most guests like myself left the day having a wonderful time! A perfect, auspicious way for the sweet bride and groom to be beginning their married life together.

BEEARE! Beautiful place but horrible staff. Would NEVER recommend this for a wedding, or any event…read more I have never witnessed this level of unprofessionalism. They were very unorganized, uninformed and unprofessional. Staff created unneeded trouble and drama that could have been easily handled in a professional manner. Don't be deceived by the good looks, because the staff was horrible. The bride spent a lot of money for her big day, and the staff ruined the reception. No one was at fault except for the staff. Don't ruin your event or wedding. Look elsewhere

The homemade pizza is very good, the appetizers are always a hit, and the patty melt is especially good. Every time we walk in, everyone is so friendly. If you sit at the bar, people around you will usually greet you and say hello. Even when you sit down at the gaming machines, everyone is friendly and often cheering each other on to win, which really adds to the sense of community. We also use the pool, and the kids absolutely love it in the summer. The Sunday Fundays are always a great time--they usually have a band out by the pool and tiki bar, plus a food window so you don't have to go inside to order. I highly recommend this place for friendship, a place to hang out, enjoying the pool, or just spending money knowing it's going to a good cause.

Unexpectedly, my fiancé passed away in mid-October, and I was faced instead with planning his funeral. I turned to Janella to help me work through the planning and execution during this painful and difficult time. She helped me create a vision of how I wanted to celebrate my fiancé, and with great compassion, support and clarity, she helped bring that vision to life. Janella is everything I could ask for in a planner. She was so pleasant and easy to work with. Starting with my vision of his services, she was a strong communicator with a great sense of how to work with people going through a wide range of emotions as we do during funerals (and weddings). She listened carefully and kept all arrangements and details on point and moving forward on a tight timeline of three weeks. She brought strong assessment skills and ideas, problem solving, did a great job working with vendors to keep them on task, multi-tasked throughout, worked diplomatically with family, was flexible and resourceful, effectively negotiated with vendors, and more than anything, I felt her genuine desire and reassurance that we would create the best event I could for my fiancé. The result was the most beautiful, personal funeral mass and Tribute Celebration that I could have hoped for and that was worthy of the incredible man that my fiancé was. I have no doubt that our wedding would have been as beautiful of a celebration, and I'm so deeply grateful to Janella for all that she did to help me honor this man that I loved so much. My deepest thanks to her for her incredible service. Through her beautiful work, she lifted the hearts of many people, including me.

I was a bit hesitant at first to choose one instrument instead of a quartet but I quickly discovered that the harp filled the whole room with rich sound that gave me the vintage, romantic, and unique atmosphere that I wanted for my wedding day.

Her personality matched her lovely sound and you will not regret choosing her!
