The Nagel Emporium at Abbey Farms sits on the grounds of a working, nonprofit farm in Aurora, Illinois that has been growing trees and welcoming visitors since 1949. All proceeds from events held at Abbey Farms benefit the monks of Marmion Abbey, whose mission and the 300-acre property the farm sustains. The Emporium itself is a 6,000-square-foot hall clad in antique reclaimed barn wood and hung with elegant chandeliers, offering climate control through all seasons and sweeping views of the Fox River Valley. An oak dance floor and cocktail lounge anchor the interior, while a covered porch opens onto a custom brick patio with a stone fireplace. A dedicated bridal preparation room with antique furnishings rounds out the private amenities. The hall accommodates up to 330 guests and has hosted wedding receptions, rehearsal dinners, corporate meetings and retreats, family reunions, and other private celebrations.

Third Degree Glass Factory is a gallery, studio, and event venue in St. Louis, Missouri, established in 2002 by founders Jim McKelvey and Doug Auer. The space occupies a transformed 1930s car dealership and service station — now the only publicly accessible glass art studio and education center in the St. Louis area. The venue hosts a range of events, from weddings and nonprofit galas to corporate retreats and private parties. What sets Third Degree Glass apart is the art that fills the building: guests celebrate surrounded by striking glass works created by the factory's own artists, and private glass experiences — live glassblowing demonstrations and hands-on classes — can be added to any event. What started as a passion for glass art has grown into a multifaceted destination for education, retail, studio rental, private events, and exhibitions.

The Edith Farnsworth House is a National Historic Landmark designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and completed in 1951 as a private weekend retreat along the Fox River in Plano, Illinois, approximately 58 miles southwest of Chicago. The 1,500-square-foot glass pavilion — elevated above the floodplain on white steel columns, with floor-to-ceiling glass walls on all sides — sits within a 62-acre estate of mature trees and landscaped riverfront grounds. Private event rentals are available seasonally on the deck, terrace, and lawn surrounding the House. Gatherings of up to 20 guests may be hosted at the House itself; larger receptions move to the outdoor grounds, with the option to erect a tent on the eastern portion of the property. An exclusive list of licensed caterers serves on-site events, and alcoholic beverages are permitted with licensed bartending staff. The estate also includes a visitor center and the Barnsworth Gallery, offering a distinctive setting for corporate receptions, cocktail parties, intimate ceremonies, and milestone celebrations set against one of the most celebrated works of 20th-century architecture.

Favazza's on the Hill is a family-owned Italian restaurant in St. Louis's historic Hill neighborhood, founded in 1978 by Vito Favazza, his wife Ellen, and their son Tony. Built on the values of family, tradition, and genuine hospitality, the restaurant has been welcoming guests for over 45 years. Today, Tony and his brother John carry that legacy forward, along with the next generation of the Favazza family. The restaurant occupies the former Ruggeri's building — a historic space in The Hill where Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack once dined and where Yogi Berra worked as a waiter. The menu draws on classic Italian recipes passed down through generations, featuring house-made pastas and wood-fired specialties. For private events, Favazza's offers a range of dedicated spaces across the restaurant, from an outdoor pavilion and plaza accommodating up to 150 guests to private dining rooms and a lower-level wine room suited for more intimate gatherings.
