Here, you can host your rehearsal dinner at Bleuroot, West Dundee’s farm-to-table restaurant overlooking the famous Fox River. Or perhaps plan your wedding ceremony on Walton Island in downtown Elgin surrounded by nature and the Fox River. Or maybe even book your reception at one of our famous downtown Elgin refurbished spaces.

Outdoor venues are always trending with couples choosing between a nature background or a scenic rooftop view.
