WHAT COUPLES ARE SAYING
“From the moment I stepped on the property, I knew.”
Bruce & Karen,
I wanted to give you a quick thank you after such a long year of planning and chaos! Your space is so much more than a venue. It’s a place full of love, family, and a sense of warmth I can't fully describe. It’s clear by how you treat your clients like family and how much you pour into every detail. From the moment I stepped on the property, I knew. It wasn't just the beauty of the yard or the swing, or even the bridal suite; It was the warmth, the welcome, and the feeling that this was a place meant for memories like this, just as it did for your daughter. Because of you, this hasn't just been our wedding day but a celebration of love, laughter, and beauty. We’re grateful to have shared this milestone here, and we know looking back, this venue, you guys… will always be part of our story ❤️
Love,
Grace & Bryce
“I wish I could leave 10 stars.”
I cannot say enough positive, wonderful things about Bruce and Karen and their amazing venue! They were so professional, they made the planning process so easy, and they were so involved in making our day a success. You will not find a more friendly couple - we have new friends for life! The venue is absolutely gorgeous, and all of our guests had a phenomenal time. The wedding party got ready in the venue house, and it was so perfect and had ample space for all of us! I wish I could leave 10 stars. I recommend CCH to everyone looking for a wedding venue! Thank you, Karen and Bruce, for everything you did to make our wedding day the incredible, lovely success that it was!”
“The girls had a blast getting ready in their bridal suite!!!”
From the very beginning, Bruce and Karen were amazing!!! They were always checking in, making sure everything would go smoothly. The girls had a blast getting ready in their bridal suite!!! It was definitely a great place for an intimate wedding, being able to get married in the back with all the trees shading us from the sun, then enjoying our reception!! Really helped that this venue was already decorated a bunch, so I didn’t have to stress about decorating very much. Plenty of open houses to make sure that all your questions were answered, and a great chance to plan your vision!!! Definitely would recommend this venue in a heartbeat!!!

“This venue is perfect for those who want that intimate feel with all of their guests.”
We couldn't have asked for a more perfect location to host our wedding/reception. It was everything we wanted and turned out so amazing. The barn is so gorgeous with great old school architecture, and once you get it all decorated with flowers and your personal effects, it transforms into a cozy, welcoming, and outstanding area. Bruce and Karen were extremely responsive and helpful throughout the whole process. They helped so much and took a great deal of initiative, suggesting different options that have worked in the past. This venue is perfect for those who want that intimate feel with all of their guests. We had around 120 attendees, and there was plenty of room for everyone to mingle and dance! Once our vendors started arriving on the day of, Bruce and Karen were on top of directing them where to go and getting all of them set up. Seriously, I couldn't have asked for a more perfect day.

“The rustic look was what I dreamed of for my wedding.”
On the day I was going to book a church hall for our venue, I unexpectedly found out about the Country Coach House. Ironically enough, we know a few people in common! The rustic look was what I dreamed of for my wedding. Bruce and Karen are absolutely great to work with. They answer quickly! They are both so kind and show passion for the venue they’ve created. They also give a lot of tips and recommendations. They were helping with the setup and tying all of our decor together to make it look beautiful. I love the fact that we could bring our own catering and alcohol! I loved the bar area! The bridal room is also very cute and spacious. The views from the field with the sunset make for beautiful pictures. They have a cute swing in the back! Plenty of outdoor seats for the guests to relax and take in that fresh air. We loved our wedding day and can’t thank Bruce and Karen enough for making that dream come to life.

“Absolutely thrilled with them! Amazing venue and hosts!”
“We used Country Coach House for our wedding venue. The venue was everything we needed and more. The barn is cozy, classy, and the arched beams are gorgeous. The barn has a side room that is perfect for food catering, and has additional seating areas that facilitate conversation and privacy as well. The property made for some fantastic photos, including a lovely tree swing. I can’t say enough about the hosts, Bruce and Karen Flesher were wonderful. They did everything they could to make sure our wedding day went smoothly. Honestly, the hosts alone are a selling point for this venue. Thank you so much for all of your help, Bruce and Karen. We are thankful we found this venue for our big day!”

“Country Coach House - Best barn venue out there.”
“Bruce and Karen were so very helpful with our wedding planning and were so accommodating. Our wedding would not have happened without them. Their place is amazing, and the exact style my wife and I were looking for. Everyone loved it and said it was so pretty. There was plenty of room for all our tables and chairs, along with a big dance floor. Overall, we could not be happier with how our wedding day turned out at Country Coach House. I would recommend anyone getting married in their area to have their reception at Country Coach House; it was truly awesome.”

“Karen and Bruce were so lovely to work with.”
“Karen and Bruce were so lovely to work with. The venue is beautiful with amazing views. We got so many compliments during the night about picking this place. Karen and Bruce responded so quickly whenever we had a question, and even got us into a last-minute tasting with a caterer who became our food vendor. Absolutely beautiful day.”
— Brandi
“Amazing venue and even better hosts! ❤️ I had an amazing experience and so did my guests.”

“The venue has a rustic barn vibe and is so beautiful, inside and out.”
“Bruce and Karen are amazing! They are there for you every step of the way and have great recommendations. The venue has a rustic barn vibe and is so beautiful, inside and out. We had a late September wedding, and the weather was perfect to be able to be outside, too. So grateful that we were able to have our dream wedding, even through a pandemic!”

“One of the nicest ‘retro-fitted’ barn/farmhouse style venues I have ever been to.”
“As a wedding DJ, I can say this is one of the nicest ‘retro-fitted’ barn/farmhouse style venues I have ever been to. Lots of details were carefully considered and not thrown together, like most venues of the same style. The space works perfectly for what it is. I will recommend this to every couple in Northern Illinois. Bruce and Karen are the absolute best to deal with (oh, and get Kyle to cook for you too, you won’t regret it).”
— DJ Kembo
“We didn't realize just how much this would be the best decision we would make in the wedding planning process.”
“We just had our wedding at the Country Coach House last weekend! Honestly, we didn't realize just how much this would be the best decision we would make in the wedding planning process. Karen and Bruce are so amazing to work with. They're willing to do what they can to make your day exactly how you envision it. They are in consistent contact with you, and they work incredibly hard to make everything piece together on the day of! We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful, rustic, fun venue. Our wedding turned out so whimsical, like a fairytale!! What a beautiful space!! Book if you can! 1000X recommend this amazing place and these amazing people!!!”
— Marina
“Wonderful!”
“We chose Country Coach House for its rustic and beautiful venue space as it had everything needed for our wedding reception on 9/17/22- tables and chairs, a fire pit and patio outside, a lovely swing the guests loved taking pics at, ample dance room, and a separate room for all the food.
The owners, Bruce and Kare,n are wonderful people and easy to communicate with. They went above and beyond to help us out, as well as stay flexible with any changes.
From the day of the wedding- getting ready in a pretty bridal chamber, to taking our first looks to the later festivities all the way to clean up, as well as decorating the day before- all went great and smoothly, and we truly appreciate having found this gem.
Thank you for having us, and I highly recommend Country Coach House for any future weddings!”

“Exactly what we were hoping for!”
“Karen and Bruce became family the day we booked with Country Coach House. My husband and I wanted a backyard family wedding, and I couldn't have been happier! The way they took my vision and made it into a reality was right on point! Everyone who attended couldn't say enough about how beautiful the venue was! We hired Kyle (their son-in-law) as our caterer, and wow! The food was amazing! Best wedding food we ever had! If you want attention to detail and the best communication, this is the place to get. I have a couple of family members who were so impressed with everything that they are going to be booking with them...hopefully in the near future. Thank you, Bruce, Karen, and Kyle! You made our day very memorable! “

“Everything we dreamed of and more!”
“We chose the Country Coach House for a couple reasons and our day was everything we dreamed of and more! Bruce and Karen make you feel at home and welcome you with open arms, making your day special!
The vintage country feel is such an amazing background for photos and guests to enjoy!
My great grandparents once owned the property and when we found out it was available to us for our wedding we jumped at the opportunity to have our best day ever there!
We loved every moment; from setup to day of, our day was perfect!”
— Kara
“The owners went above and beyond to make sure the day went smoothly and to see our vision through.”
“My husband and I recently had our wedding reception at the Country Coach House. We could not have asked for a better venue and experience! Our guests still compliment our reception and how great the setting was. The owners went above and beyond to make sure the day went smoothly and to see our vision through. We would hands down recommend the Country Coach House to anyone looking for a beautiful wedding venue! We are so grateful to the owners of the Country Coach House for making our wedding so memorable and wonderful!”
