Blackberry Creek Banquets and Chapel

Blackberry Creek Banquets and Chapel is a versatile event venue in Plano, Illinois, offering indoor and outdoor facilities for weddings, corporate gatherings, retreats, private celebrations, concerts, festivals and community events. Set across a spacious, wooded property near the Chicago area, the venue combines practical event facilities with a relaxed countryside atmosphere.

For weddings, organisers can book an outdoor chapel, a rustic dance hall and the surrounding grounds for photographs and reception activities. The chapel can seat up to 200 guests, while the dance hall provides room for dining, music and dancing, with a stage, bar and audio equipment. Couples may choose the ceremony space, reception hall or a combined package, and the venue allows removable personal decorations and selected external suppliers.

Corporate organisers can use the property for meetings, team gatherings, picnics, staff celebrations and outdoor activities. Blackberry Creek also works with external activity and entertainment providers, making it possible to build bespoke programmes around food, games, team challenges, laser tag, inflatables or other group experiences.

The venue supports church and youth retreats, non-profit gatherings and residential group programmes, with rustic accommodation for approximately 100 to 120 guests and additional outdoor camping possibilities. Its open land, wooded areas, sports facilities, pool, creek and river create scope for informal programmes alongside meetings and receptions.

Large-scale organisers can also enquire about concerts, festivals, expos, conventions and music events. The grounds offer parking, bathroom facilities and space for indoor and outdoor stages, with capacity for sizeable audiences. Blackberry Creek’s team helps organisers shape the layout, schedule and supplier arrangements around the needs of each event.
