GRATITUDE & GRACE - Fabulous in every way!
WOW doesn’t even begin to describe how gorgeous this place is!! This was the perfect place for a wedding in every way. My son got married here on 8/24/24. I was astounded by the beautiful grounds! Ron was THE best host anyone could ever ask for. His attention to detail was above and beyond. Anything you needed, he was there for us from the booking till the end. He absolutely is a one-of-a-kind, amazing host!
Bride and bridesmaids stayed at the stunning Victorian house the night before the wedding. It was pristine, clean and such a treat to be able to have the house on the property. There was a beautiful pool with seating all around and a hot tub! And ladies, the bridal suite is amazing!
I would say without hesitation, this is the most beautiful wedding I’ve ever attended! The ceremony was outside under the arch, dancing in the immaculate barn complete with lights and chandelier on the second floor. Food was served under tents on the lawn, which was perfect. There were so many places you could go on the property, should you want to have some privacy - the barn, the house, seating by the pool and other seating around the grounds.
I will forever have etched in my heart how wonderful this place is! Everyone that attended thought the place was spectacular and the Bride and Groom are over the moon with cherished memories of their special day! Thank you again, Ron for making our day an absolutely memorable one.

We got married August 3, 2024 at Gratitude and Grace. We spent our entire wedding weekend at the venue with our immediate families. First, the venue itself: absolutely perfect. The victorian home is gorgeously decorated and spacious, and was perfect for our group of 12. The pool is amazing. We ended up getting married inside the barn due to rain, and our guests LOVED it.
Next, the owner, Ron: THE BEST! Ron was responsive throughout the entire planning process and incredibly accommodating. He met every request with enthusiasm and flexibility. One of the best parts of the weekend was getting to spend time with Ron.
Gratitude and Grace is a 10/10 venue and was my favorite part of the weekend (besides marrying the love of my life)! A perfect country backdrop.

An absolutely stunning wedding venue! Ron was so easy to work with and incredibly down to earth! Very responsive and certainly wanted us to feel at ease on our big day! The house was beautiful, spacious and very clean! Also, the house had amazing lighting for wedding photos! Hot tub and pool made it 10x more fun for our guests who stayed the weekend with us. We are SO happy that we held our wedding at Gratitude & Grace! 10/10!

This property exceeded our expectations! We were able to customize the space to our needs - ceremony in one area, cocktails and dancing in the barn, tent for dinner out back. Ron was very helpful and attentive during the planning and execution. A totally happy and memorable occasion!

Gratitude & Grace exceeded our expectations! The property is beautiful - even during a thunderstorm - and well-maintained. We shared the gorgeous house and stellar amenities (pool, hot tub, etc.) with our closest friends and family members for an unforgettable weekend of parties.Ron is an approachable and fun guy who was there to answer any question we had. He ensured that there were no issues at the venue. We felt totally comfortable and at-ease the entire weekend.I could not recommend this venue more highly! We hope to come back for a reunion party in the future!

Picturesque. I found myself wanting a real camera instead of my phone each time I stepped outside.

My wedding was such a magical experience and a lot of that has to do with the personalized service and support I received from the staff at G&G. As an out of town bride and a Covid bride, Ron was flexible and understanding. He sent us vendors that not even my wedding planner offered to help us cut down on cost when he heard how much we were paying for things. He was resourceful when we needed a home for our groomsmen, sending us websites and making calls on our behalf. We got more than a venue when we decided to book with G&G.He made sure all of our house guests could transition in when we were out running around and even offered to watch our dog while we had wedding business to care for. When the power went out he came over to ensure we felt comfortable, as Chicago people we were not use to the country ways and he never made us feel uncomfortable. He was so welcoming of all races and personalities, that my wedding guest couldn't stop talking about how "Cool" he was. Leading up to my wedding his team would send me pictures of new pieces of furniture and even offered to allow me to use leftover items from previous weddings to again help cut down our cost.His flexibility was shown when he allowed us to come a day early to set up and stay a bit later to ensure we could pack up. The house itself fit everyone of our house guests and they loved the layout. So clean! Our wedding had a few do-overs but booking with G&G was never one of them. We're hoping to come back for our anniversary. Ron is the Man!
