Trailside Event Center 4416 North Prospect Road, Peoria Heights, IL 61616

"We chose to have our wedding reception at Trailside Events Center and it was a great decision! The venue itself is so charming with a loft-like vibe and exposed brick. Working with Mark and Lizzie was a pleasure. They were receptive to our design demands and were very professional in the lead up and day of the reception. Would highly recommend this venue!"

"We had our wedding reception and rehearsal dinner at Trailside. All of our guests commented on the beauty of the space. My husband and I could not get over how amazing the staff was. Mark and Liz were so great to work with. They were responsive to all our questions and emails. They helped us while setting up and taking stuff down. And even stored things in their office for the weekend until we could come back to pick it up. The bar staff was also great and we were able to get any drinks we wanted to serve. They were friendly and very attentive to our guests. The venue and their staff were absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend anyone to book Trailside for an event, big or small. You will not be disappointed!"

"I absolutely love this venue! It’s such a great space for anything from a business event to a lavish celebration! It’s beautiful both with or without decorations. It’s easy to get to and they are handicap accessible as well. Lizzie is extremely wonderful. She knows the business very well and it shows. That really helps make everything go smoothly! One of the great things about this venue is that they really accommodate your needs. The windows and lighting can be adjusted to meet any lighting needs. They make sure it’s the proper temperature year round, I was shocked at how cool it is during the blazing summer heat. (I’m warm blooded so that is a huge bonus) Overall, you really can’t go wrong here. Highly recommend!"

"I attended a wedding for the son of a friend. The atmosphere was nice, rustic. I did not like the way they set up the chairs, 4 on each side of the aisle. It was a LONG aisle. And, unfortunately the photographer and videographer parked themselves right in front of the proceedings, so, only saw their backsides during the ceremony. After the ceremony there was time to buy drinks and eat some snacks stuff while they arranged the tables and chairs. There was a small area for dancing, so good thing not everyone wanted to dance. It is located on the second floor, but they do have an elevator."

"We had both our wedding ceremony and reception at Trailside and it was our absolute dream wedding! Mark was such a joy to work with. He was flexible, easy-going, organized and so kind! Trailside's beauty speaks for itself, we absolutely love the exposed brick, string lights and beautiful staircase. The space does not require a ton of decorations and the room flip happened with such ease. We are so happy we chose Trailside for our big day. Highly recommend!"
