Mariner's Banquet Hall sits on 25 acres in Carlyle, Illinois, with a fishing pond, a private island, and access to the Governor's Run 18-Hole Golf Course. The recently renovated hall offers 6,000 square feet of event space and comfortably accommodates up to 300 guests for weddings, receptions, birthday parties, bridal and baby showers, corporate functions, and church group events. A 1,600-square-foot wooden dance floor gives DJs and live bands room to work, and the hall is equipped with tables, chairs, linens, audio-visual equipment, and a podium for speeches and ceremonies. For an intimate ceremony, the property's private island accommodates 100 to 150 guests amid the fishing pond and surrounding greenery, with couples often moving from the island to the banquet hall for their reception. Renters are free to bring in their own caterer and decorator rather than choosing from a required list, and the venue is within easy reach of Mariner's Village Inn & Suites and log cottages for overnight stays.

Poplar Hall can host anything from a seated event for 190 people to an intimate birthday for a dozen. We have two levels, a mezzanine and main floor. One idea would be a reception on the mezzanine and seated dinner on the main floor. Or if you’d like to have a smaller event, we could seat 40 on the mezzanine. In-house catering is available, but please reach out for a list of our approved caterers. We have a full video and audio system, so just bring your phone, plug in, and get ready for the funk. Or watch slides of next year’s sales projections. Your call.

LedgeStone Vineyards is a vineyard, winery, and kitchen set among the rolling farmland of the Niagara Escarpment near Greenleaf, Wisconsin. Grapes grown on the property, along with fruit brought in from Minnesota, California, and Washington, go into wines produced entirely onsite, and the vineyard pours Gnarly Cedar Brewery beers alongside non-alcoholic options and reservation-only cocktails. Guests can drop in for a flight at the bar, spread out on the vineyard's open green space with a lawn chair, or book a patio table for full-service dining from the Vineyard Kitchen, which serves wood-fired pizza, a Sunday brunch, and a rotating seasonal menu. Live music plays most evenings, from Wednesday jazz and blues sets to weekend acoustic acts, and each summer the vineyard turns into a full concert venue for its Wine Down series, now in its ninth year, bringing nationally touring bands, food trucks, and vendors to the property on Thursday nights. The vineyard is family- and pet-friendly, and hosts private gatherings such as bridal showers and birthdays by request.
