Starved Rock Council

Ironwood on the Vermilion Rural Event Center is the premier event venue serving all of the Chicago Suburbs and surrounding areas since 2018. We offer an indoor and outdoor venue. Our main indoor facility can comfortably seat up to 75 guests in a rustic barn atmosphere. For larger events we offer a beautiful modern rustic pavilion which can accommodate a maximum of 200 guests. There is no need to worry about inclement weather, both buildings have heating and air conditioning, as well as an open-air option if that's what you prefer. Enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of Ironwood, grab a cocktail from the outside bar and relax by a fire on the attached courtyard. Ironwood's goal is to make your special event stress free and a day to remember.
