    The venue is beautiful. After reading some of the reviews, it is obvious that it has evolved…read morethrough the years. We were here for a wedding and spoke to the owner. He has owned it for 19 years and now it is strictly for weddings. No store ~ nothing to buy. Lovely grounds, plants, ponds, waterfalls, gazebo, arbor, water fountain, and twinkling lights in the trees. There is a lovely outdoor area set up for the ceremony and then we moved indoors for the cocktail hour. It is open and bright. However, one toilet for about 100 people was interesting. There is a tent, that is airconditioned and probably heated based on the season and weather. Plenty of room to move about so moving around the tables was easy. Just a heads up: they lock the doors for the indoors after everyone has moved to the tent. That means, you must use the toilet facilities attached to the tent. Better than a port-a-potty, but . . . Currently, Swanson is blocked off so you have to drive around the road block.

It's no wonder they've been in business so long! The Gardens are not far from our house, but it's this little slice of paradise tucked away from all the nearby commotions. We loved EVERYTHING about The Gardens. The property is dreamy and beyond well-kept. The flowers, fairy lights and small waterfalls and creek winding through the gardens just give you total serenity and joy. We could not have made a better choice for such a beautiful place to start our new lives together as a married couple. Even all our friends and family could not stop gushing about how stunning the whole place was! Honestly, I hope someone we know gets married here soon because I want to go back and relive those special moments we had from our own wedding. Ladies, when you found your hunny and you just knew that was it, they were the one...well that's how this place made us feel. It was absolutely perfect and am so happy we found it. The Gardens are truly a hidden gem, a little paradise tucked away to get lost in the magical moments of your wedding day!!!

We drove up and the propriatress was chatting with neighbors. She greeted us and when we asked if it was OK to take photos of the outside. . . she have us a tour of the inside! Wow, that was unexpected! Super warm and friendly owner, the Inn has many of it's original features including wood floors, lighting fixtures, coal burning fireplaces, stained glass, and more. It also boasts a beautiful new kitchen and glorious gardens including milk weed for the Monarch Butterflies which have been rapidly decreasing in numbers in recent years. So yay! She has a small shop of movie themed items and a museum cabinate of movie props. We were told about the filming pricess at the inn and told about plans for the gardens. A lovely Bed and Breakfast, if you find yourself in Woodstock, IL, check on availability. Stay where Phil Conners 'stayed'.

    We spent 3 peaceful, relaxing and fun nights at The Cherry Tree Inn in Woodstock, Illinois…read more First off Mr. Bee is a huge Groundhog Day movie fan, so we decided while in Illinois to stay in this gem of a town. Lori and George, the Innkeepers are very nice. The Inn is so fun. This is where Bill Murray's character in the movie stayed and the front looks exactly as it did in the movie. Lori gave us a map of the spots in town with marker's of sites from the movie, so we did that for a half day. The inn has a dining room where breakfast is served, there is the parlor with chairs for reading, or a sofa for watch Groundhog Day on the big screen. There is a small breakfast room with a refrigerator, coffee maker and snacks for the guests. There is one guest room downstairs and the others are located on the second floor. They even have a small gift shop area, where Mr. Bee bought a replica clock from the movie, it is permanently set to 6:00 am and the button on the top plays a portion of the radio show it played in the movie. We stayed in the Black Walnut Suite and it was extremely clean, and comfortable with 3 large windows that looked out over the front yard and the street just like in the film. Breakfast was good and plentiful. One morning we were the only guests so I told Lori the night before to take a day off and we would enjoy breakfast in the town square. I can't say enough great things about our stay. The front porch is awesome and fun to sit in the evenings with a glass of wine. The gardens and koi pond around the house are also stunning and beautifully lit in the evenings. There is parking off to the side of the driveway which is really convenient, or street parking. You can also easily walk into the town square from the Inn. We highly recommend checking out The Cherry Tree Inn for a fun weekend or even mid-week stay.

Our event did have a bar and they set up a buffet in the walk way between the front and back. It a great food I do not know who catered. The lighting was amazing very bright and open. Cute if you need a location to host an events the town has some great photo shoot spots if that is needed also. And some walkable places near by for a drink or something to eat.

    There is no shortage of history when it comes to Smith's! Affectionately known in the past as…read more"Smith's Garage" or "The Hostess Shop" by locals. Smith's Central was built in 1929 and operated as one of the very first Standard Oil Service Stations in Northern Illinois. In 1963, Hostess-Wonderbread purchased the building and would call it "home" until 2013 when they closed their doors and moved to their next location. In 2016, extensive renovations and restorations began on what is now Smith's Central Weddings + Events. Fast forward to present day, Smith's has hosted and provided the backdrop to over 400 weddings and special events. I recently attended a Celebration of Life for the spouse of a friend. It is located in the downtown area of McHenry with plenty of street parking near by. Upon entering the venue, they have a large area for tables or high tops for your event. In the back is the bar with another area with high tops and food. I've never been to downtown McHenry & this place is just fabulous if you are looking for a place to have your wedding or any other event. I highly suggest you check this place out!

    Catherine was great! I loved working with her. She made this process so easy. There are so many…read morepositive things to say. They only do one event per weekend. We were able to decorate and rehearse on a Friday. Have my wedding on Saturday and pick up everything and leave by Sunday. We rented out all 3 homes that are offered. The houses were beautiful and extremely homey. Had everything we needed. My family , bridal party and I were all able to get ready the day of the wedding. The photos are beautiful right by the pond. You can tell Concorde center takes great care of the land. I will say this venue would be best for weddings under 100-110 people max. It's the not biggest. We had 95 people and it was perfect with enough space for a dance floor and photobooth. A few downsides that could be worked on is you have to choose their preferred caterers. They give you only 3 options. First option never got back to me. I called and emailed them multiple times and never heard a word back. I would advise Concorde to take them completely off their list. Second place was pricey and out of our budget. The woman who owns it was very busy and seemed uninterested in our event. The last place I had no choice but to go with was 31 North. Which we were dissatisfied with their food. I also wish they would allow you to go into the homes a little earlier than 10 am. Considering it can take hours for a bridal party to get ready the day of. Other than that everything went very smoothly and I'm glad I choose this venue close to home.

They have a great outdoor patio with a working outdoor fireplace and our guests enjoyed walks on the paths overlooking the pond. I have to say the vendor list could be better- we ended up using The Caterist which was outside the vendor list without a fee. Overall a great location for a memorable wedding and flexible staff.

It was a little confusing at first, since when we walked in, there were tables throughout the room. We weren't sure if we were supposed to sit down at one and be served or if they were just random tables where you could sit anywhere you want it. However, once we got our bearings around the event, we had a great time. We started shopping the makers market, which didn't have a lot of vendors, but had enough of different things to make it interesting. Then we had charcuterie cups filled with crackers, nuts, chocolate, fruit, salami, and cheese. A bit overpriced for what they were but glad to have something snackie. We also had a flight of mimosas, and finished off the day by making a beautiful Bouquet of fresh flowers. They did have pancake vendor as well. I didn't try it since I wanted a savory snack. I wish the food choices were advertised better. It was a small sheet of paper on a table. I didn't even know that the 3 additional food options existed until someone told me where I had to go to find this piece of paper. Other than that, it was a great time had by all in my group.
