Testimonials


My wife and I just got married there this past Saturday. I really can’t say enough good things about Ruth and Jerry. They are very reasonably priced. If you want a barn style wedding this has it all. The decor is so charming, rustic and just perfect. The on line pictures do NOT do it justice! Our wedding was beautiful and we couldn’t be happier. Our guests were blown away with the venue. We opted to have Ruth act as our wedding coordinator and she was definitely the captain driving the ship! She was amazing ! We had Scramenties cater the wedding and again the staff was awesome and the food was delicious! Everyone there raved about southern charm. Jerry and Ruth did an amazing job and we can’t thank you enough for giving us our dream wedding.

Just wanted to thank you for making Em & Curt's reception so wonderful. Your personal touch and attention to detail made it seem like we were with family. You and your husband should be very proud of all that you've done to make Southern Charm one of the best wedding venues in the Chicagoland area. God bless you!

For a quaint country setting, look no further! A 5,000 sq. ft. barn that can be transformed into your dreams. It has a large cement floor for tables and dancing and a terrific sound system. No outhouse needed - it has modern facilities. A great venue for an unforgettable experience!

I had my wedding here in October and it was gorgeous, just perfect. Terri, the owner, is truly a special person. She was so sweet and kind, and so helpful from the second I walked into the barn until we walked out of there after our reception. She helps cover every little detail, and was a HUGE help when we'd forgotten a few items...she had it all on hand and let us borrow it for the day! The barn itself is huge, has multiple rooms, a fantastic bridal suite with private bathroom, stunning guest bathrooms (they are super classy), huge chandeliers, and Terri is a master decorator!! The decor there is so spot on perfect to create the ambience and atmosphere you'd expect on your big day. Don't be put off by hearing "barn wedding" because this is no ordinary barn. The first time I heard about the place I didn't have high expectations until I got there to take a peek and was blown away; we booked right away! The place is gorgeous, the owners Terri and Jerry are 100% stand up people, and the experience was really unforgettable. 5 stars for sure!!

We just got married here on April 27th, 2019, and it was absolutely AMAZING. All of our guests LOVED this venue. It was beautifully and perfectly decorated, you can dress up or dress down, the reception hall is quite large, and even with 200 guests we still had a large dance floor. The ceremony is also held there so no one has to travel between places. The owners Terri and Jerry are very accommodating and helpful, they really help make your day go as smooth as possible. They have heat and air conditioning, and also have beautiful bathrooms. There is a bridal suite where the bridal party and bride can hang out before and after the ceremony/reception, and it also has a private bathroom. Overall, this place was perfect and I wouldn't have changed anything!!

Wow! We can't believe the day is finally here! It feels like we just found this place and met you for the first time! We can't thank you enough for all the support throughout this journey. You made this process a lot smoother and you care a lot about the couples who come here. We are still in awe of this barn and how you turned it into a magical place. All our best.
