Why you'll love this venue

  • Multiple event spaces
  • Provides a dedicated team on-site
  • Handles all cleanup logistics

Venue considerations

  • Not wheelchair accessible
  • On-site parking not available
  • Venue feels large for events with small guest lists
The team at Sunset Event Space was incredibly responsive and easy to work with from start to finish. Their communication kept us informed every step of the way, which made the planning process smooth. The food was phenomenal and our guests couldn't stop talking about it. However, the venue itself fell short of what we were hoping for. The space has a corporate feel with ceiling tiles, bland carpeting, and poor lighting that doesn't match the elegance of a wedding. We wish they had invested more in wedding-specific decor and design, as the bones are there but the atmosphere needs work. If they transformed the space with thoughtful touches, they'd likely have a waiting list.

PBC Venue is an absolute pleasure to work with and I can't recommend them enough. We have had two wonderful events there and it's becoming THE PLACE to be in Central Illinois. They think of every possible need and no detail is spared. Their communication is always timely and complete, making the planning process seamless. The quality of their work and the value they provided was exceptional - the venue was clean, spacious, trendy, and beautifully designed. The PBC Venue team is outstanding and a pleasure to work with. You won't be disappointed in this venue.

I booked The Larimore as my wedding venue in April of 2025. The charm of the estate floored me and I knew it would be a perfect backdrop for my wedding day. Since then, they have gone through 3 managers and I had many struggles with the rotating management. However, the new General Manager Laurie came into the Larimore about 10 days before my wedding and she was AMAZING. She sat down with me and walked through every detail of my day. She gave suggestions on flow of guests, floor plans, etc and went truly above and beyond for me. She took it upon herself to run my wedding and kept me in the loop like not many had before. She had high standards for how everything was to be handled and she allowed me to just cruise through my wedding day with such little stress. Her event staff was also amazing - they were so professional and detail oriented especially when it came to set up and clean up. We had to waffle on outdoor or indoor ceremony a few times and everyone was 100% prepared for whatever decision I made. The Larimore was the perfect backdrop and Laurie was an absolute blessing. I know that her staff is up for the challenge to bring this beautiful venue back into its prime.
