q&A
WHAT IS THE PROCESS?
Begin your Briar experience by submitting an inquiry with your details and vision so we can confirm the perfect fit. Next, we’ll schedule a consultation to tour the venue, explore layouts, and answer all your questions—showcasing everything from indoor elegance to outdoor options. Once your date is confirmed, a tailored proposal and signed contract secure your celebration. Our team provides guidance and support, ensuring every detail is stress free so you can relax and create memories in a space designed for unforgettable events.
Q&A
HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN WE SEAT?
While our indoor space seats up to 200, we love creative layouts—cocktail tables, outdoor tables, or a mix of both—to craft a relaxed, flowing celebration.
Q&A
What kind of events do you host?
While weddings are our specialty, Briar is also available for corporate gatherings and private celebrations, offering the same elegance, flexibility, and attention to detail for any occasion.
Q&A
Where can we stay?
On-site stays are reserved for the newlyweds, while guests can enjoy nearby VRBOs and Airbnbs for a convenient and memorable weekend. Ask us about our favorites!
Q&A
How does the bar work?
Briar holds an Illinois liquor license, and all alcohol sales are managed through our team. We offer an extensive Briar bar menu and can accommodate signature drinks or special requests from the couple, ensuring your celebration is personalized and streamlined from start to finish.
Q&A
Are tables and Chairs included?
Tables and chairs for both your ceremony and reception are included with every package. Cocktail tables are also available upon request for an additional fee, allowing you to create a more relaxed or social layout if desired. Table linens & glassware are also available for rental.
Q&A
Can I bring my own vendors?
Our open vendor policy allows you to curate your celebration with the team that best fits your vision. While we encourage you to choose vendors who reflect your style, we’re happy to provide guidance and recommend trusted professionals we’ve personally worked with and admire.
Q&A
CEREMONY LOCATIONS?
Ceremonies at Briar can be held in a variety of beautiful settings, including our open field, indoor bridal studio, back patio under the lights, our deck overlooking the pond, or elegantly under our chandeliers in the main ballroom. Coming soon, we will be offering an additional ceremony space as well!
