About

Located in Ottawa, Illinois, Acre 17 offers an unparalleled backdrop for weddings and events. Our redesigned space was once home to the Pitstick Dairy Farm & Event Space. It has been thoughtfully transformed into a beautiful upscale, modern space with romantic charm.

A venue buyout includes the following:

  • The Grand Acre Ballroom welcomes guests with loads of natural light, garage doors, stepping onto our social patio, high exposed ceiling, and glowing café lights. Modern details including — handcrafted bars, wood doors, nostalgic dance floor — set the stage for both grand receptions and intimate ceremonies.

  • The Forge Bar & Lounge defines “industrial romance” with its 50 ft. Bar, Garage Doors opening onto an 1100 square foot covered patio overlooking Buck Creek – the perfect spot for your cocktail hour.
