"Rachel and Garett are the best. You will not find anyone else around the Southern Illinois area that is more accommodating to couples and their guests! They have put their all into turning this piece of Christopher into something useful to all. The venue is so beautiful!"
Lydia Hicks
"The idea of celebrating your special day in the center of the town I grew up in sounded perfect, so I was really excited to be able to have my baby shower here. I loved working with the Janellos, and the atmosphere of the refurbished building is so authentic. The Show Room would be perfect for a wedding, and it was great for my smaller event too!"
