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

There was a huge back area for prep (of the wedding party). There are several bathrooms and all are single-stall, so I got more privacy than I was accustomed to from church and other venue weddings. Overall, very nice! The brick of the building looks good in the photos. It's such a short walk from the town square and a short drive from some green areas if you want different kinds of photos.

Totally blew me away…read more I moved back to the area almost three years ago, but had not come to WPW. Then recently, I found out that my 50th class reunion was going to be held there. Hearing that news, I knew it was time to come and check it out. When I arrived mid-afternoon on a Sunday, I was shocked how large the venue was and how full the parking lot was. I quickly realized, Wild Pickens Winery is a hot spot and the place to be seen on weekends. They have a fairly extensive wine menu, it was larger then what I was expecting. I enjoyed two glasses of Cabernet and was impressed with its robust flavor. When my server told me, all glasses of wine were $7, my frugal personality smiled. To my surprise they had an extensive menu. I was expecting a very simple menu of only a few items, but they had it all. Their menu had entrees, burgers and wood fired pizzas. I had eaten brunch earlier so I wasn't that hungry, but wanted to try something. I ordered the Stuffed Mushrooms and they hit the spot. They were stuffed with spinach, cream cheese and parmesan. The order came with three good sized mushrooms, so it would be perfect for one or sharing. They had a band playing in the main room inside and the music was super loud. Friends that I ran into there, told me in good weather the band is outside and makes for a more enjoyable listening experience. The loud music is why they only got a 4 Star rating. The service was small town, down home country friendly. WPW is only open Thursday thru Sunday and I'll definitely be back. I gotta come back and try one of their wood fired pizzas.

We were immediately greeted by the owner, Todd, who was behind the bar servicing customers. He took the time to thank all of us for coming in and shook each of our hands. Todd, separated us from the dry wine drinkers to the sweet wine drinkers, sharing with us his top recommendations for each category. Unanimously! We all enjoyed the blueberry wine the most. We all literally bought a bottle! LOL. Todd had to leave us for other duties, but left us in the care of his staff. These ladies were great and fun. After our wine tasting, we sat to order food. We ordered the meat lovers and the loaded baked potato pizza and a few side salads to share. Never thought of a baked potato as a pizza, but this was sooo good!! The food in general was delicious, fresh, and made to order. The winery itself was super cute. The outside seating area was packed with folks, rocking out to some live music. The inside seating area was surprisingly very large. A large dining space with a separate event space and video gaming area. Thank you Todd for welcoming us and thanks to your team for helping to make our experience enjoyable. We look forward to visiting you all again!
