As a central Illinois wedding photographer, I can confidently say that Mistwood is one of my favorite venues for capturing weddings. The potential for stunning portraits on its beautiful grounds is simply unparalleled. Every gallery from weddings I've photographed there turns out absolutely breathtaking.
I highly recommend couples consider Mistwood for their special day.

I had my wedding at Mistwood in May 2025 and am so happy we went with there for our wedding venue. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Taylor. She is the best! She is so kind, helpful & quick to respond to all questions. Our rehearsal dinner and wedding overall went smoothly. There were a couple issues that I had spoke to Taylor about after the wedding and were handled appropriately. I would recommend Mistwood Golf Club to anyone getting married.

As a wedding photographer, I may be slightly obsessed with this country club… and honestly, I’m pretty sure the staff is obsessed with me too (I’m there so often they know me by name and treat me like family!). Between the rolling hills, charming stone bridges, and swoon-worthy arched doorways, every corner is basically begging to be in a photo. And the bar? Cozy, moody, and straight-up Scottish—perfect for capturing those “I’m fancy but also relaxed” cocktail moments.
The outdoor spaces are endless for portraits, first looks, or just me sneaking a few creative shots while no one’s looking. And if Mother Nature decides to rain on our parade, the covered areas are equally stunning—no stress, just more photo ops.
Basically, if you’re looking for a venue that’s ridiculously photogenic, full of charm, and will make you feel like part of the family (bonus: me included), this country club is a total win. Your photos—and your photographer—will thank you.

I had my wedding in May 2025 at Mistwood and it was the best experience! Taylor, the on-site venue coordinator for Mistwood, is the best of the best. She was so responsive via email and text anytime my husband and I had a question for her. She was timely and followed through on everything she committed to. She was so involved in our entire wedding process, and I believe she is one of the biggest reasons our day went so smoothly and was stress free! She was so easy to work with. The venue itself is stunning. The grounds are well kept, and there are ample places to get photos outside. We had our ceremony in the courtyard, which overlooks the golf course. We barely had any decor outside for the ceremony. The views are enough! Inside, the venue is so charming. Lots of European and Scottish vibes, which we LOVED. Lots of character! We loved the terrace room for our cocktail hour, as well as the Great Hall for our reception. Both rooms had enough space for our guests and had access to the outside decks, which again overlooked the course. The food was AMAZING. From the apps, to the entrees... everything was cooked perfectly. The whole day was perfect, I cannot recommend Mistwood and working with Taylor enough!!

Dan Molina (Event One Photography) I photographed a Christmas dinner in The Great Hall last month. I arrived super early and was greeted by the staff manager who immediately asked and offered to adjust the lighting if I would like. Beautiful venue and hope to be back to photograph more events.
