  • Up to 150 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $3,625

You’re not looking for overly formal or a wedding experience like everyone else’s. You want a space that feels warm, inviting, and comfortable where guests can relax and celebrate from dinner through the last song. You’re drawn to laid-back elegance, personalized touches, and a classy-casual atmosphere that feels welcoming, not stuffy. You want flavorful, comforting food that gives guests choices while keeping the mood fun, social, and easygoing. You appreciate a local, family-run business and a team that is approachable, organized, and easy to work with — people who guide you through the planning, communicate clearly, and make everything feel less overwhelming. You want your wedding to feel like a joyful gathering, not a production. Great food, genuine hospitality, transparent pricing, and a comfortable atmosphere matter more to you than rigid traditions. You want your guests to leave feeling cared for and ready to rave about what an incredible time they had.

As a newly engaged bride-to-be, deciding who to work with is an overwhelming experience. There are SO many options and wedding expos.. phew! The Enchanted Forest's all inclusive package helped take a huge amount of stress off of my shoulders. Knowing that the venue, catering, linens, tables, cutlery, servers, bartenders and chairs were ALL taken care of... it was the peace of mind I needed to be able to really enjoy being engaged and enjoying the time leading up to the big day. I recommend this venue to anyone that wants to know that you'll have everything you need, without coordinating with 10 different vendors to make it happen. Thank you Steve & Laurie!

Jerry and his crew made out wedding day incredible! They helped run the whole day, they got the guests seated, kept everything on schedule, and ensured that Ben and I didn't have to worry about anything. When our flowergirl got stage-fright right before walking down the aisle, Jerry swooped in to save the day and helped her find her mom. We initially didn't plan to do a grand entrance into the reception, but Jerry and the DJ (Megan from Music that Moves) made one happen last-minute so our flower girl could have a second shot ar throwing her petals. You're not just getting a venue at Parkway, you're getting a whole team who will make your event run smoothly. If we ever do a vow renewal or anniversary party, we will be back!

The Riviera Ballroom was an excellent choice for our wedding venue. From the moment we first reached out, their communication was responsive, timely, and very well-managed. The space itself was absolutely beautiful - stately and elegant, providing the perfect setting for our intimate ceremony and dinner. Our guests raved about the intimate ceremony space and the lovely dinner area, which allowed for great conversation throughout the evening. As the bride, I wish there had been a private space for me to get ready and wait before the ceremony, as the guests were able to see me beforehand. Additionally, some of our guests mentioned that parking was a bit tricky. Overall though, the Riviera Ballroom exceeded our expectations and made our special day truly memorable.

Our event ran smoothly and their staff exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend getting one of their coordinator packages because it will help you and them plan your big day. Megan Westrup was our coordinator and she made sure every single detail was taken care of, she also made a few fun suggestions that made our event unique and special! One of our many favorite things was that they have the getting-ready suites onsite which was a big plus for us and our wedding party. We also got their DJ service and Terry and Preston were amazing! My main concern was having a DJ that could incorporate both of our cultures (American and Mexican) and they totally got our vibe. Our guests spent the whole night dancing!

We had our wedding reception at the Boone County Museum of History on July 6 and it was absolutely one of the best decisions we made in the entire wedding planning process! I grew up going to the museum and we had guests coming up to us all night telling us it was their first time there and how excited they were to see the museum for the first time and how they wanted to come back and spend more time there, and people saying they wanted to spend all night looking through the exhibits. The gallery space was perfect for our 125 guests and there was plenty of space to set up our buffet table, dessert table, and the bar on top of that. There was even enough room for a dance space near the entryway! The museum staff were absolutely the best throughout planning, answering all of our questions right away and helping us to figure out the layout when the time came. We were able to have plenty of personalized touches throughout our decor and our setup, and the staff even allowed us to set up a personalized scavenger hunt throughout the exhibits to find items we'd chosen based on our relationship. The Boone County Museum of History is 100% the best value for a wedding venue you could find in the area and is an absolutely gorgeous and special venue for any of your events, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding venue in the Belvidere-Rockford area!

Do you want to have a completely stress-free wedding day and planning experience? Then book your wedding here. Throughout the year I had to plan my wedding at BWH, I had countless people ask me if I was stressed, or comment that I seemed pretty relaxed for planning a wedding. That’s because Sharon S. and BWH’s recommended vendors make having a wedding here the most seamless and worry free experience. Everyone is so easy and fun to work with and made everything a breeze. Our family and wedding party noted how professional and coordinated everybody was- they run a tight ship! I can’t recommend this venue enough, and I am so glad we had our wedding here. Everything went perfectly- thank you so much Sharon!

The food was delicious—we actually love it so much that we eat there whenever we're in the area. From start to finish, the team made our special evening feel truly special. We'd recommend Delafield Brewhaus to any couple looking for a venue that combines great food, attentive service, and genuine hospitality.

Eric, Nicolette, and the entire venue was FANTASTIC! What a hidden gem. It was a great large space, but also intimate. Our guests loved both the ballroom and cocktail hour areas, and the best part was the food. The bridal and grooms suite was so fun we never wanted to leave. I couldn’t have asked for a better venue to work with.

My husband and I got married at Western Lakes Golf Club 5/4/24 and it was incredible. Food was amazing, staff were very friendly. The only downside for why I took off a star was because of the day of coordinator provided with the venue. She was great leading up to the day of the wedding but on the wedding day I saw her twice and then never saw her again. She never introduced herself to my husband, never made sure we were lining up for the ceremony or anything. Never checked in on us. I’m the one that noticed we should be getting lined up which should have been the coordinator doing it. But overall, it was a great experience.

Rustic Manor was a lovely wedding venue. Our guests loved the spacious grounds, easy parking, large bathrooms, and classy rustic interior. We loved the large bridal and groomsmen suites, the payment process, the venue setting up chairs for ceremony and reception, and the professionalism of staff throughout the planning process. We did not love how expensive it was for the add ons. For a Saturday wedding in “wedding season” we paid almost 10k just for the venue and venue-specific add ons. This included string lights, nice tables, water service at dinner, use of the Photo Booth, etc. The Photo Booth did not include a guest book to put the extra slides (which we had seen at another wedding at this venue), which we didn’t realize until the night of when it was too late. The bar bill (180 guests) was about 6k. Their preferred dinner vendors were expensive and didn’t have many vegetarian options. The least expensive “preferred food vendor” was 20k for 180 guests. We *really* didn’t love that they didn’t have any signs at the bar. We were expected to purchase signs and write out the drink list, hours, and rules of the bar. Our guests did not love that there wasn’t a bartender on scene to get even water or soda prior to the ceremony. During planning, they encouraged stopping open bar during dinner, so our guests had nothing to drink for the toasts. They did not have a sound system going outside, so half of our guests were outdoors and missed all of the announcements. Our wedding was beautiful, but for a venue that “prefers” an event costing 50k, we expected more.
