Venues & Event Spaces near Hebron, IL

“Bluestem was the perfect venue for our wedding — absolutely beautiful, especially during sunset. We got so many compliments from guests about how gorgeous the space was. It’s the ideal setup for people to enjoy both indoor and outdoor spaces, and there was something for everyone.
But what really made our experience great was working with Kelly. She was so helpful and responsive from day one, and super flexible with all the changes we had along the way. She handled both venue coordination and day-of planning, and made everything feel smooth and stress-free. She's down to earth, easy to talk to, and just really great at what she does.
The venue itself has everything you could want — a beautiful bridal suite and groom’s space, A/C and heat, indoor restrooms, space to spread out, and lots of thoughtful details that made things easy.
If you’re considering Bluestem — do it. And if you’re lucky enough to have Kelly as your coordinator, you’re in great hands.”

“Had the best experience attending the Four Guys in Dinner Jackets show here! The venue is beautiful, welcoming, the people are so nice! They serve cheese and wine before the show, cookies at intermission and ice cream after. The volunteers are so friendly and passionate about the theater. Highly recommend checking out a show here!”

“My wife's company, Crazygirl LLC, worked a wedding at the Horticultural Hall a few weeks ago. This is a hidden gem in Lake Geneva! The hall and courtyard were wonderful! There is plenty of room for an event outside in the courtyard with the reception inside. There are screened in hallways that wrap around the courtyard, allowing the visitors to enjoy the Wisconsin weather without the bugs. They offered chairs and tables at no extra cost. Speaking of cost, rental was crazy cheap for the area. We hope to do many weddings there in the future!”

“Saw Tennessee Whisky there beautiful vintage yet modern feel! Sounds and lights were great! Staff was top notch! Be aware they only sell beer and wine, a nice little place next store if you’d like a drink before the show!”

“This bar had a great, authentic speakeasy vibe. The cocktails were delicious, and in addition to the Wisconsin old fashion, they made an excellent traditional old fashion, which made my bourbon-loving Kentucky boy husband super happy. If we lived in the area, it would be a regular spot for us.”

“I must give HUGE KUDOS to the housekeeping staff and Laken at the front desk. THEY FOUND MY 1000. Cash along With drivers license, AMEX platinum, debit card in the dryer of the laundry room. It was a busy Wedding weekend arrival day. It got wrapped up in the comforter I gather. We didn’t report it because nowadays, why even try. But a surprise phone call came from Laken at the front desk. Yes I tipped them well. Thank you Geneva Inn. We will be back.”

“They have upgraded this hotel! We were here last year & they really improved the ambiance. Our room had many conveniences. Microwave, fridge etc. Staff was friendly and helpful everything was clean well stocked. My only complaint is the bed was lumpy. But the view of the lake was amazing. We will stay here again.”

“The best thing about this hotel is the amenities. They have a salt water pool outside with lounge chairs, cabanas and pool side wait staff. There is also an indoor pool and a jacuzzi at each.

We borrowed their e-bikes and rode them into town. They were free to use!

The hotel hallways and rooms could use a refresh but overall not too bad.

A short distance from downtown Lake Geneva makes this hotel a fun option for those who don't want to pay downtown prices.

“The room was very nice. However it had a very strong chemical smell. Almost like it had been bombed for bugs or something. Also a lot of fruit Flys in the kitchen. We only stayed 2 nights. And we're gone all day. However, we wouldn't have been able to stay another night. It just was so smelly. Probably should have asked to move rooms. Told the desk upon leaving. They did absolutely nothing. We would definitely still come back. Maybe just speak up next time for the about of money spent there and the $250 incidentals they took out of my account at check in. Luckily that was returned day after we left, and not 5-7 days later.”
