Celebrating in Richmond
Richmond is a small village at the northern edge of McHenry County, a short drive from the Wisconsin line. Its main street is lined with antique shops and small businesses, and the quiet pace attracts couples looking for a rural wedding setting. Nippersink Creek runs nearby, and the surrounding countryside is a patchwork of farms, wetlands and preserved prairie. Photos of your site help the vendor plan accurately.
Open land around Richmond hosts weddings and reunions, with gravel drives and uneven ground to plan around.
