Welcome to Centennial Farm

Centennial Farm on the Ridge is a rural event venue nestled in the Starved Rock region. 

Whether your dream wedding includes a casual atmosphere with a ceremony amidst a classic midwest backdrop or a more elegant event with beautiful linens and fine China, we have the space for you.

Our mission at Centennial Farm is to create an unforgettable, laid back event experience. With this, we pride ourselves on hosting just one wedding per weekend. Our couples have the opportunity to arrive on Friday for event prep, soak up all aspects of their event on Saturday, and return on Sunday morning to pack up and reminisce on the best weekend ever.​

"Stunning venue!! It’s so simple yet elegant so that it will fit any wedding style! And having the farmhouse on the property so that we didn’t have to leave the venue the entire weekend was amazing! The staff also does an excellent job of making sure everything runs seamlessly. They were so accommodating and made sure we actually enjoyed our wedding day! Forever grateful to them!"

"Everything about this venue is fantastic from the farmhouse where the bridal party can get ready to the groom/groomsmen getting ready area in a separate barn to the venue itself. Everything is all in one place and is all beautiful. Having Kelsey as my coordinator was a BREEZE. She went through absolutely everything with me and had a fantastic attitude the whole time and I wish everyone could have a Kelsey in their lives. The decor was beautiful and I don’t think a single thing went wrong. The venue and the owners and the effort and vision made me feel like a bride and I would recommend anyone planning a wedding to go to centennial farm on the ridge."

"Beautiful! Magical! Amazing! My Husband and I wanted a perfect venue and The Farm was the first and last place we looked. Kelsey has such an amazing personality and hospitality to her we knew right away. Even though when we booked they were still building lol. We had 100% confidence in their vision! And we were right! The venue turned out stunning! The house was awesome to stay in especially for the convenience. The grooms sweet was hard for them to leave lol. And the venue itself was stunning. Kelsey was also our wedding coordinator and I’m letting you know now just spend the extra money. We literally didn’t have to worry about anything that day. She kept us on schedule and everything was absolutely perfect. Also they cleaned everything up at night and put it together for
Us so the next morning we basically just had to load everything up! How amazing. Thank you so much to you guys for making our day so special. Much love the Roldans."
