Wedding Events

Are you looking for an Intimate Wedding Venue in a Picturesque Location?

Then Escape to Elsah. Elsah was recently voted the #1 Scenic Spot in Illinois.

Several WEDDING LOCATIONS are available in Elsah:

Green Tree Inn Outdoor Gazebo and Gardens
Historic Methodist Church
Farley’s Music Hall

(Venues are best suited for up to 90 guests)

At The Green Tree Inn of Elsah, we recently completed our Beautiful Outdoor Gazebo. It is located on the original site of historic Union Hotel. It is the perfect setting for a romantic small intimate outdoor wedding. The backdrop of the gazebo is the Village Museum, which was home to the Village Town Hall in the 1850’s. Invite your entire wedding party to stay at the inn, and make Elsah your wedding destination. Our wedding packages will help you with all of the details to make your special day especially memorable.

There is a place to set up a tent for an outdoor reception or rent Historic Farley’s Music Hall for the reception or rehearsal dinner.

If you are looking for a more traditional setting, the Historic Methodist Church is also available for rental.

Do you need more than 5 rooms for guests? Additional lodging options are available in Elsah. Contact Connie at The Green Tree Inn of Elsah for information.

The Green Tree Inn of Elsah is happy to provide the rehearsal dinner for up to 20 guests. (At an additional cost.)

A signed contract and deposit are required to hold the rooms and gazebo.
