Many people find the Village of Elsah to be a dream-come-true venue for a wedding. Case in point, our outdoor venue, Green Tree Inn, hosted weddings the first three weekends of October. Their gazebo serves as a focal point for the ceremony on an expansive lawn. Outdoor receptions can also be held there. Elsah’s two venues for an indoor ceremony are the United Methodist Church and Farley Music Hall on Mill St. Farley’s, owned by Historic Elsah Foundation (HEF), can be rented for a combined ceremony and reception, or for a reception only. For more information, contact: Green Tree owner Connie Davis, owner.greentreeinn@gmail.com; and for Farley’s, HEF president Donna DeWeese, djdeweese@icloud.com.

The newlyweds in the photos are: Kyle (grandson of residents Barb & Ted Ostrowski) & Ashlynn; Lauren & Patrick McGarry; and Laura & JC Henry (all used by permission).
