A really nice relatively new venue. Perfect for our wedding and reception that we had here…read more Beautiful large open spaces. We had one area that they used for the service that was really pretty looked out onto the farmland. Lots of wood and white. Made for a beautiful atmosphere. And then the other building in the back where we had the reception was excellent lots of space for tables a Dj picture place and two bars. Bartenders were great and served us well and the food was very good. A lot of great picture places with their fountains and ponds. Lots of pretty locations where people can go around and take pictures beyond just the wedding party. Just individuals and couples taking pictures with the beautiful surroundings.

I contacted Lexi via email a week before my brothers 40th birthday because her balloon arrangements…read morelooked way cooler than the cookie cutter arrangements from the big box stores and I was really pleased and satisfied with my arrangement and experience. She was very friendly and professional and responded right away. I had very little specifics and just told her mostly to have fun with it. She was helpful in making a few suggestions and eager to take the project on. Was also very helpful with delivering as had to make a change to date and time late in the week and she was able to accommodate. Prices were very reasonable and lots of personal touches. Would definitely recommend her for party decor or a surprise for a friend or any event one might need balloons for. I hope she finds lots of success in her business.

I could write a long review about every amazing attention to detail The Venue helped provide to us,…read morebut my fingers would get tired and I would probably just ramble. The crew at The Venue are absolutely outstanding, extremely thoughtful, very organized, and truly care about making your day memorable and seamless. They provided the experience we wanted - choice to hire local caterers, setting up and taking down without feeling rushed, hair/makeup done on site easily, day of coordinating/point of contact, etc - without the hassles other venues in the area put you through. Not to mention, it is in the perfect location downtown Champaign. The whole place is stunning and spacious; we couldn't have asked for a better experience. (Photos by Sara Gardner photography)

The…read moreowner Dan greeted us immediately when we arrived the morning of the wedding, and he made sure the set up was exactly what the couple wanted. We were able to use the house to get ready and keep our personal items, and he was quick to respond to any questions or concerns. When the big moment arrived, guests were in awe at the beauty of the chapel area and reception room. The service was impeccable, and when guests spilled or created a mess, Dan himself responded immediately to keep the area clean, safe, and presentable. We had a beautiful moment after the dancing started... Dan opened the large back doors to reveal the sunsetting over the fields, and there was a collective "wow" by all the guests. Over the course of the afternoon and evening, we had guests taking pictures on the property, playing bags in the field, enjoying drinks on the grounds, eating, and dancing. Not one guest had a negative comment. Everything was absolutely perfect! Thank you Dan and Hudson Farm staff for making this day everything my family hoped it would be. I can't wait to get the pictures and relive this precious moment at this beautiful farm again.

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.
