Why You'll Love This Place

A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
  • Completely encircled by North Aurora’s Red Oak Nature Center, this newly built event venue sits along the east bank of the Fox River, with wraparound views provided by forty acres of riparian ecosystem…seven distinct habitats (and often, their animal residents!) can be seen without leaving its grounds.   
  • The building was uniquely designed to let the outdoors in: Overhead windows and transparent walls create a planetarium-inspired effect, and a spacious patio with a double-sided fireplace encourages guests to appreciate the tranquil natural surroundings. 
  • Rental windows are a generous twelve hours, and you are welcome to use any licensed vendor of your choosing. There’s a library of in-house décor available to borrow, and the staff will provide wood and keep the fire going for you, and can even set up a table for post-party s’mores.
