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

Fraase Farm was great. I went there with a group in town for a workshop at SIU. We had a catered…read moredinner and wine. The food was phenomenal. I was literally uncomfortable (and perhaps a bit tipsy) on the bus ride home from imbibing a bit too much. Speaking of the bus ride, it does take some time to get there. However, if you are from out of town like I was, it was neat to see the farm lands that stretch on and on while on the ride. I didn't really see inside the building or much of the grounds, but the food is top notch. I would highly recommend this place to take a group to have a catered dinner and fun ambiance.

When it was finally my turn to get married (I'm the youngest), there was no doubt in my mind who I wanted to be there to capture our big day. They know exactly what they're doing and what to capture so you get perfect pictures. They also work with you so you get exactly what you want too. The Warmowski's are the perfect duo to have on your wedding day to make it as stress free as possible. I can't thank them enough for being there for us through it all. They're family!

They felt like our great friends snapping away at our most precious of moments; not only were they kind and professional, but extremely efficient. In our opinion, what made them so great, is that they took the time to spend a lot of time discussing our needs in detail. They also paid close attention to what we liked and didn't like. Steve and Tiffany never wasted one minute of our time and our pictures are gorgeous. We couldn't be happier with their camaraderie, sense of family, and delicate care of our wedding day. This husband/wife duo knows exactly what to do to capture your day. Trust us, and trust them.

After some research on Photo Booth services, we hired Prints Charming Photo Booth. They have a great set-up that is very appealing and draws guests to participate in this activity.

The beds were comfortable, the AC was working wonderfully and the room is fairly quiet. we could hear the person above us walking around in the morning, but I guess that's to be expected. We very much enjoyed the complementary breakfast in the morning. We got there about 15 minutes before it was to close and they kept it open at at least 10 minutes after that for us and others that were late getting down there that day. I thought that was a classy move. You don't get one minute past closing time at a Hampton Inn. The staff here was absolutely extraordinary! Everyone, from management to the front desk to housekeeping was incredibly kind and accommodating. We were absolutely impressed and would return again in a heartbeat.
