Description:

The Grove Redfield Estate is an award winning wedding and event venue located in Glenview, IL in The Grove Nature Preserve, a 150 + acre National Historic Landmark. Built in 1929 by Prairie School architect George Elmslie, the estate features an elegant Craftsman style home, outdoor Pavilion, Gazebo and meadow. Capacity up to 115 guests May - mid-October in the Pavilion, and 50-75 in the house November - April. Free parking.

 

FACILITIES

The historic Redfield home has the look of a Northern European country house featuring a beamed cathedral ceiling, tiled fireplace and beautiful woodwork. Three dressing rooms are available for wedding prep. Caterers have use of the on-site kitchen. Enjoy cocktails on the patio just off the Great Room after your wedding ceremony, before dinner and dancing.

 

THE OUTDOOR PAVILION

Seats up to 115 maximum with a fireplace, pitched ceiling, electrical outlets, dimmable ceiling lighting, and urns filled with seasonal plants and flowers. Bistro lighting hung in trees surrounds this beautiful stone structure. The Pavilion is perfect for ceremonies, receptions, corporate events, and milestone celebrations.

THE GAZEBO

Plan your ceremony under the woodland Gazebo just a short walk from the house, across our rustic bridge. An electrical outlet is available for your musicians, DJ or officiant.

 

THE GREAT OAK TREE

The majestic 125 + year old oak tree, adjacent to the front entrance of the historic home, is another location choice for your ceremony. The stucco and stone façade of the house, along with magnificent trunk and branches will frame your photos beautifully.
