This might be a little off the beaten path for you, but I went to a wedding in Aviston, Illinois this summer and it was BEAUTIFUL! The winery is Hidden Lake. They have a lovely lake and they are cetainly equipped to handle large crowds. The facilities are quite nice. Here is a link to the website:
Hidden Lake Winery. Go visit and see what you think. As you drive there, you will feel like you made a wrong turn somewhere. Then, all of a sudden, boom! there it is! Very pretty. Mapquest it to see if it is within a decent drive for you. Good luck and congratulations!
