No, Wandering Tree Estate is a private venue. We also withhold our address to ensure the privacy of event holders. We do have private garden walks that take place in the summer season. We also give scheduled walkthroughs to potential event Brides and Grooms, Vendors, Photographers, etc… All walkthroughs must be arranged through an appointment.

We are located in Barrington Illinois. Our exact address is withheld to ensure privacy. If you would like our exact address we will gladly provide it to you after you have confirmed a time to view the venue, or if you are scheduled to be at Wandering Tree Estate for a Wedding or Event.

Our pricing for all events is very dynamic and changes depending on the date, time, guest count, and several other factors. The current price for a 2020 wedding starts at $1,500.

Wandering Tree Estate is an outdoor venue. There is a small indoor space in the train studio workshop that can hold a maximum of 50 guests standing and seated.

Unlike many venues, Wandering Tree Estate does not offer any wedding packages. Our price only includes the rental of the estate for the entire day. You are free to pick your own vendors (such as catering, floral, decor, etc…) to complete your wedding. This allows you to have full control over your wedding and set your own budget.

Renting the Estate gives you access to 10-acres of stunning gardens, model train layouts, and a sparkling lake. The rental fee only includes the use of the Estate. If you would like to have catering, floral arrangements, decor, etc… we have a list of preferred vendors that we highly recommend. You may choose your own vendors only if they are pre-approved by Wandering Tree Estate.

The maximum number of guests at any single event is 50 seated and standing. There is no minimum number of guests. Wandering Tree Estate comprises of 10-acres of gardens, model trains, a model train museum of the City of Chicago, and a sparkling lake. There is an abundance of space for you and your guests to enjoy.

You are not allowed to enter the house. Wandering Tree Estate is a “living” estate, meaning the house is occupied by the owner of Wandering Tree.

Wandering Tree Estate does not offer overnight stays. Our rental fee only includes set up, tear down, and use of the estate for your event. If you wish to spend the night there is a hotel just 5 minutes from Wandering Tree Estate.
