WOW!!!!! I am the owner of Moving N Grooving DJs and I have been hearing about this new venue in Crystal Lake that is amazing. I took a ride to find this place and amazing seems a little lackluster. This place is OUTSTANDING!!!! I showed up without an appointment and was greeted by a woman, Barb, who was as sweet as can be and she offered to show me the venue and property. This property is jaw-dropping. They have thought of everything when building this! There is easy access for vendors. There is proper power for us DJs (this is important) and there is a nice little staging area for caterers. The venue is laid out in such a way that is so perfect for a wedding and events. There is a deck that overlooks a pond and a downstairs cocktail lounge area that feels like you're in a fancy city lounge. AND Brides wait til you see the bridal suite so cute! If you are looking for a barn vibe and want an outstanding venue with great people behind it, be sure to schedule a tour with Barb. Chris Less

THIS IS IT....this is your wedding venue!! 10/10 Recommend!! The venue is a rustic barn that has been transformed into a refined space that is well equipped to fit 250+ people. The large windows allow for a bright and natural look during the day, while the twinkling lights above allow for a charming elegance at night. You know every nook of the barn was intentional, from the entry way with handicap access, to the spacious catering kitchen, to the outside/indoor downstair bar for cocktail hour. Now, some of my favorite parts (and what truly make this venue unique). It has wide sliding barn doors that can open, which is perfect for bridal party walk-outs or for a magical scene of dancing under the stars. There is also the option for air conditioning during those hot summer nights, which our guests really appreciated. Next, the grounds are absolutely stunning (see photos below)! You can take all of your wedding photos here because the grounds are walkable and so diverse (multiple barns, ponds, towering trees, and the perfect location for sunset photos). Lastly, I believe everyone should have the opportunity to get married at a venue where the people behind the scenes value and cherish marriage, and the team at Crystal Creek Farm truly do. Since the venue is family-owned and they are local, they can also provide valuable insight about the surrounding area and aid in finding other services you may need for your wedding. They went over and beyond to make our day special and I cannot express my gratitude enough. Less

My wife and I got married at Crystal Creek Farm on June 3, 2023. A key feature about this venue is its versatility. There are plenty of areas for fun, but also, it gives space for guests to escape the music, whether that is getting some fresh air on the back deck or grabbing a beer on the bottom level. There is also a great outside space for cocktail hour, and the grounds made for beautiful photos. It is large, but also intimate. Plus, the rustic vibes are amazing —original barn wood, high ceilings, twinkling lights. The hosts go above and beyond to ensure a unique and great experience. It was perfect. Ps. The tractor is a crowd favorite. Less

Such a great new venue run by an amazing family. Situated in quiet part of Illinois making it the perfect getaway spot from the hustle and bustle most other venues are surrounded by. Spacious, well planned out and ready for the most awesome of weddings. Can’t wait to be back again soon to capture another stunning wedding there. Less

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding day the most beautiful day of our lives. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect setting or a more dedicated group of people to work with. Less

This used to be our family farm. Some of my greatest childhood memories are of this place. It's wonderful to see it preserved in a way that so many people will continue enjoy it. Thank you. Less

Crystal Creek Farm is a truly unique and beyond beautiful event venue. Our daughter’s wedding reception was pure magic at the farm! The elegantly-rustic barn features a gorgeous outdoor deck, towering wood ceilings, large panoramic windows, full-service bar, air conditioning, lower-level cocktail and patio areas…it simply exudes charm! The property is landscaped with picturesque ponds and lush trees which was the perfect backdrop for wedding photos. The family-owned venue staff is extremely professional and genuinely cares about you and your event. Our guests were in awe with how original, entertaining and spectacular the entire setting was…and, the dancing never stopped! Our daughter’s wedding was so special and memorable because Crystal Creek Farm is an exceptional wedding venue! Less
