Walton Centre Inc.

for your guests with food, music, flowers, and more! They provided our suits for our groomsmen and they fit as good as you would expect without any alterations. Rick even drove 30 minutes to deliver a tie that he left at the Walton Centre to my dad for the ceremony the next day; he was very kind and considerate. Beautiful space that allowed my 160 guests room to dance and socialize. They sat 8 to a table and had plenty of room to move about the space. Highly recommend using them!!!!!

n was fun to decorate but doesn't really need it. Several spots to do pictures. The owners are great to work with and truly care about what they do. They are full of suggestions and have great relationships with other local vendors. They made sure we had what we needed! We are so glad we made the decision to let the Walton Centre be the home of our reception.

h anything we needed! Being able to decorate the day before the wedding for a small fee saved us so much time, energy and stress on the day of the wedding. The venue was beautiful and so many of our guests gave us compliments on it!

took the time to put them on! The venue is absolutely beautiful everybody loved the place! Very easy to get to. 1 turn off of route 24. They ordered the color sashes i wanted and in the color i wanted. So acomodating and nice! I would recomend to anybody!

affordable and the owners Rick and Jeanne are so helpful and kind. I only wish I could give the Walton Centre more than 5 stars!!!

henever we needed them or had a question. We received so many compliments on the decorations and historic charm that come with this venue. I can't say enough good things about this one-of-a-kind venue and its kind, thoughtful owners!!

looked. It has such beauty of it’s own it does not need a lot of decorating just enough to give it your own colors and/or theme. Thanks to the kind owners for lending to us for the evening such a special place to make lasting memories at.

smoothly and we got tons of compliments from all our family and friends! Definitely couldn’t have asked for a better venue. It was everything I dreamed of and more :)

ust make it that much more wonderful! I’m so glad we chose The Walton Centre for our venue I don’t think anything else could compare! Thank you a million times ❤️❤️❤️

ant and helped us find our amazing DJ, caterer and photographer! The space is massive and has the perfect layout! The dance floor is huge which is my personal favorite part, and the bar area is great for people who want to socialize. The photo booth was also a huge hit amongst our guests! All of the remodeling they have done is top of the line and the prices are very reasonable too...way cheaper than anything you're going to find in a larger town or city. All of our guests kept coming up to me and asking me how in the world we found this place because it is an absolute GEM! Anyone who is looking for the perfect reception venue and the nicest hometown people to work with, the Walton Centre is a must! Thanks to them, I had the most perfect night of my life! :)

nty of space for our guests to dance and visit with one another. Highly recommend the Walton center

upstairs with a repaint and redoing floors and the day of our reception we had them cover chairs which is also a nice thing they offer we walked up there to decorate and it just looked so Beautiful even without decorations. they are very professional and kind, willing to help with what ever they can. these owners are amazing and I can't thank them enough... I would highly recommend the Walton Centre for that special day!!!

is adds up very quickly and they do not give you a deal on this even though it’s through a fountain. The expenses here can add up quickly which is where they get you.

o move and explore! I highly recommend this venue to anyone who wants a large, stunning location for a great price.

acious! We had about 150 people attend and there was plenty of room for everyone! Rick and Jeannie were super helpful getting everything set up and were very helpful during the wedding too. The bar service was great too! We had so many compliments on our signature drink!

with all the options they have, such as chair covers or lights under tables. The venue fits so many people, band, decorations, etc comfortably and they let you set up any way you would like. Rick and his wife Jean were very helpful, attentive and easy to work with. I was very pleased with how quickly they got back to me with all of my questions. Overall, we loved the venue and would recommend it to anyone!

g. Very great venue! Our guest list was at 330 and there was plenty of room! The hall is beautiful as well. Thank you Walton Centre for letting us celebrate the best day of our life with you!!

commodating and helped us out every step of the way. They even make sure all the decoration was all set up for us the day of the wedding, such as plugging in lights, lighting candles, and setting other last minute things up so no of our friends or family had to miss out on anything to come and do it. The Walton Center was also incredibly clean when we got in there to decorate the day before the wedding. I would highly recommend the Walton Center for any event that you are wanting to hold!

d up the beautiful Cinderella staircase. A vision came to me as I hit the top of the stairs, and that vision came true on March 19, 2016. Rick & Jeanne were absolutely wonderful to work with!! I can not say enough positive things about them! I will say, it was very important to me to have good communication-they exceeded this completely!! We used benchwarmers across the street for our caterer and we are still receiving compliments on the food almost 1 month later! We set aside rooms at the Pontiac hotels for our guests and set up a shuttle service as Fairbury does not have any lodging accommodations. I would recommend this venue to anyone!! Even if you have the same doubts we originally did, go check it out and fall in love like we did!! Thank you so much Rick & Jeanne!

n there and it was nice to be able to find someone who will work with you and help make your day special. They also were able to help me find my florist and my cake person. So if you book through them I highly recommend you to ask them about other people around the area who can help make your day perfect. Its very nice to have so many great vendors so close to help and then be able to put it all together in this big spacey gorgeous venue. You will not be disappointed they have so much to offer.

you out with setting things up for your big day as much as he can. This place made our day memorable and I highly recommend it to future couples!

verything from the start to the finish of our journey was handled with professionalism and extreme friendliness!!! This beautiful two story building is in the heart of downtown Fairbury and has such charming character that it invites you in and dares you to not have a great time!!! Rick made himself easily accessible to any and all of my questions and very informative about details such as lighting, linens, table sizes, floor plans as well as meeting us at the venue several times beforehand for all of our ideas, concerns, measurements, ect. The wedding ceremony was held on the beautiful wood banner staircase that leads up to the second floor (elevator accessible) where you will find the spacious reception floor and gorgeous wood Bar. The reception area has endless possibilities for your decorating ideas and Rick invites you to create your own enchanting vision. My friends and family overwhelmed me with compliments on what an enjoyable evening they had and the ambience of the venue played a big part. I want to express my gratitude to Rick in assisting us in making this experience "The Most Perfect Wedding & Reception Ever!!! ". I know this for a fact because my daughter told me at least 100 times afterwards!!! Thanks again, Tammy White - Dwight IL

llent. We received many compliments on how beautiful everything looked. We also felt the price was reasonable too. We have recommended The Walton Centre to others planning their wedding receptions.

zing as well! The owners were very easy to work with and I would recommend this place to anyone!

accommodating. The banquet room is gorgeous and well maintained. The bar area is great too. Benchwarmer's food was delicious. Received many compliments for both. The only thing I had to worry about was table decorations. They made the reception worry free for me.

nd would recommend it to anyone.

Walton Centre. The Walton Centre is in downtown Fairbury, and is historically known as the furniture store that I remember visiting with my own mother when I was a kid. What a shock it was to walk into this building, and walk up to a grand staircase that led to a beautiful ballroom, with draped ceilings and beautiful wood pillars and accents everywhere. The back side of the floor also offers a beautiful bar/pub area for those who wanted a more relaxed area to socialize. This venue has more character than I can even explain. Rick was more than accommodating to us. He let us visit on a number of occasions, and even once when they were setting up another wedding so we could see the possibilities. Rick made sure our day was perfect, and worked very well with all our vendors - from caterer to florist to DJ and photographer. Everything turned out better than I could have ever hoped for. If you are looking for a place who caters to your every need, easy to work with, answers all your questions (and there were many!) beautiful and clean, plus works with your tight budget, you must go visit The Walton Centre.
