ABOUT THE VENUE
Thatcher Woods Pavilion is a beautiful River Forest event venue anchored by a stone masonry traditional gas-lit fireplace which adds richness to the restoration of the entire facility. It is surrounded by woods with both outdoor and indoor options for hosting.
Two meeting rooms can be used either as a single space or two separate functions, which can accommodate approximately 120 or 80/40 guests accordingly. A convenient prep-type kitchen is on-site.
