• What is the difference between your South Facility and your North Facility?
    The South Facility is an open air building with three large doors that raise up and is available to rent all year.  The North Facility is an upscale air conditioned tent and is available to rent April to October.  Both our South and North Facilities feature outdoor areas with beautifully landscaped courtyards, gardens, water and fire features.
  • How many people can the facility hold?
    Our facility can accommodate up to 1,300 guests, depending on the function and time of year.
  • When can I get into the room to decorate?
    CD & ME allows the party coordinator one (1) hour to decorate or set up for the day’s event.

  • Do I have to serve a meal at the event?
    No. We can accommodate all types of events. We have had events with no food, light appetizers, heavy appetizers, buffet style, family style and plated dinners.
  • Do you do your own catering or can I bring in an outside caterer of my choice?
    CD & ME gives you the choice of preferred caterers to choose from. They all specialize in different menus within different price ranges. We request that our guests pick from one of our own caters.
  • Can I bring in a band or our own D.J.?
    Within our rental price, a D.J. is included. However, if our guests would like to bring in a band or a D.J., that would be fine, but the rental price remains the same. However, they must bring in their own sound equipment.
  • What is the size of your dance floor?
    Our dance floor size is dependant on the size of your event/guests attending.
  • What kind of music does the D.J. play?
    Our D.J.’s play whatever you want to have played throughout the time of your event.
  • Can I bring in my own alcohol?
    No. Our liquor license issued by Will County restricts us on bringing in alcohol not purchased through our own vendors.
  • Is set up and clean up included in the rental time?
    No. We usually provide the party coordinator (the renter) one hour to set up and the clean up is done by our staff after the event is over.
  • Do you offer tours of the banquet facility?
    We ask that guests please call to schedule an appointment with our event coordinator Catherine at (815) 469-7315 or email her at Catherine@cdandme.com.
  • What is required of us to be eligible for non-profit rates?
    A tax exempt certificate must be provided.

    Yes, with the exception of the upstairs loft. The washrooms are also handicapped accessible.
