The banquet hall can be rented for any event big or small. We do have hourly rates, all day rates or weekend rates. Weddings/Receptions and all Saturdays are a flat rate. To book, we require 1/2 down at the time of booking and that is non-refundable, no exceptions as stated in the contract. We do not have a bar minimum. In our rates, you will receive tablecloths, tables and chairs for indoors only, and a bartender included in your rental rates. **extra bartenders are available, and all bartenders have their license to serve. All alcohol must be purchased through us, as we are licensed the same as a bar. We have 5 different distributors that we get beer/liquor from, so if we catch alcohol brought onto the grounds, you will be asked to leave. We do not want to lose our liquor license. Call today to book your special event! 217-463-2600 or Sonya’s Cell 217-712-0253
Description of our Banquet Hall
Our banquet hall is 40’x60′ area. We have a stone fireplace on the South wall, and a stone bar. The rest of the room is open. There is a separate door that enters the banquet hall from the outside, and an exit door to the wine garden outside. If you rent our banquet hall, we will supply you with tables & chairs. The tables will have white tablecloths. We do have a beer & liquor license. No outside drinks allowed, this means absolutely no alcohol on premises! We will fine you $250.00 (FOR EACH ITEM FOUND) if you bring in drinks that are not purchased through us. We are licensed exactly like a bar. For your event & pre-authorization with Sonya, you may bring in non-alcoholic drinks in their original containers.
We can set up for 175 people indoors, and still allow for a small dance floor inside the banquet hall. We have had 200 people set up for dinner, but then taken down some tables to allow for dancing after dinner. After tasting room hours, you may use this room as well for your party. Max seating is 200 indoors, but overflow may be outside on patio. But chairs and tables need to be rented for outside.
You may have an outdoor wedding, but we do not supply the tables/chairs for this. You would have to rent them on your own.
