Running a year-round wedding venue in the Midwest requires both ample indoor space — for rainy days and winter weather — and the ability to host a crowd of people outside on perfect summer days! Sleepy Creek Vineyards has this art form down to a science, thanks to the seven sets of bi-folding LaCantina Doors we provided to their “Dragonfly” event space.
Though this 6200-square-foot reception hall might look like a quaint, rustic structure… it’s actually a state-of-the-art facility with radiant heating, central A/C, a full kitchen, and enough bathroom space for 250 guests. Nestled within a lush vineyard, the owners wanted to ensure attendees could easily take in the beauty of their surroundings. Seven huge folding door panels on the north wall, spanning an opening of almost 20 feet, can be pushed aside in seconds to connect the covered space with the adjoining outdoor ceremony area. The east and west walls are both home to three more sets of matching, 9-foot wide doors. When everything is open wide, the entire building feels like an airy, breezy, country barn. Should inclement weather dare approach, the room can be closed up tight while the party rocks on!
The winery is regularly open to the public, so be sure to stop by the next time you find yourself out near Danville, Illinois. If you enjoy their famous wine slushies a little too much, you can even crash in their on-site lodging!
