2021 Event Venue Building of the Year – 1st Place
Building use, importance & newsworthiness: This expansive and show-stopping event center is located in historic Galena, Illinois. This beautiful indoor/outdoor wedding and event venue measures 102’ x 116’ x 16’ and was a high-profile project in the area.
Unique features: The modern barn design is classic and elegant, boasting white walls and floor-to-ceiling windows, as well as fabulous outdoor spaces. The expansive glass wall provides a breathtaking view of the rolling hills that make up the Galena countryside and provides a memorable backdrop for any event.
Post-frame advantage: Post-frame construction allowed the owner to achieve the aesthetics and beauty required of a wedding and event center, including vaulted ceilings and chandeliers, and clear span bar area, while also meeting a specific business budget.
