A Photographer’s Review of The Inn at 835 in Springfield, Illinois
The Inn at 835 is a timeless, elegant, and fully capable venue to host your entire Springfield, Illinois wedding day. As one of the best wedding venues in Springfield, it features handicap-accessible spaces, a beautiful lobby bar, multiple options for preparation and bridal getting-ready areas, and plenty of tables, chairs, china, and more included in your rental fee.
When I was shooting wedding photos at The Inn at 835 in Springfield, the bride used a small house just off the ceremony courtyard to finish up her getting ready process. This getting ready suite had plenty of amenities to keep everyone comfortable and the day moving forward, as well as a small garden area, perfect for first looks. While the room is lit warmly with tungsten-temperature lighting, popping up a flash or opening up a door for natural light is a great way to keep your colors balanced.
The attached courtyard proved to be a perfect place for the bride and groom’s trimmed down wedding ceremony. At the right time of day, the direct light from the sun is hidden by the surrounding buildings and offers nice, warm, even lighting that covers the whole event. Even though The Inn at 835 is in the heart of Springfield, the ceremony still feels decidedly private, peaceful, and devoid of distraction.
When it came time for the reception, The Inn at 835’s beautiful Conservatory space offered everything you could really want. Plenty of space for navigating the room while guests were dining, a dance floor with enough real estate to handle any wild-dad-dance moves your guests can throw at it, and the adjacent lobby bar is a great place to refill your glass or just take a breather!
I know I had a blast photographing this couple (see more of them here) at the Inn at 835 and I’m confident that, if you choose to host your wedding here, you’ll be totally pleased with the memories you and your family will make! Take a look at some images of a wedding shot at the Inn at 835!
