Black Walnut Venues is a charming event space set on an idyllic fourteen acres in Shirley, Illinois—just down the road from Bloomington-Normal.

Nestled amongst farmland and hundreds of mature trees, our conditioned building features seating space for up to 50 guests, plus restrooms, a bridal suite, and a stunning 24-foot antique wooden bar.

Step outside onto the patio for cocktail hour, or play a game of bags in front of the picturesque lake backdrop—complete with a fountain water feature. Explore the grounds to discover even more hidden gems, like the authentic log cabin and bonfire pits.

With plenty of space for tented or outdoor receptions and ceremonies, the possibilities for your next event are endless.
