L A Gourmet Catering

This venue goes above and beyond to deliver a beautifully-run wedding day for each couple. My husband and I cannot commend them enough for their organization throughout the planning process, responsiveness to questions, and smoothness of the wedding day itself. The food was fantastic, wait staff was friendly and professional, and the venue itself is jaw-dropping and very customizable to different style preferences. Our guests had an absolute blast and so did we!

My best friend just recently had her wedding here. The Venue was amazing, the food was outstanding and the staff went above and beyond. The house on the property was top-notch as well. Highly recommend.

Beautiful property, crazy nice and helpful staff. Food was outstanding. Definitely one of the best wedding setups I've seen!

This venue is beautiful outside but the inside looks like a fancy warehouse. Not the most appealing place to have a wedding in my opinion unless that's the goal for the look of your event. The food by LA Gourmet was awful, the equivalent of a school hot lunch. I was honestly expecting much more from this venue.

Our daughter and son-in-law just had their wedding and reception at Pear Tree, July 2021, and we can't say enough positive comments about this venue. The entire staff at Pear Tree were absolutely amazing. They all were very professional, experienced and so friendly to work with. The food by LA Gourmet was perfect, the presentation and flavor of the food was exceptional.

The venue itself with all the wood and windows and the outside grounds are breathtaking. Thank you immensely to everyone at Pear Tree Estate and LA Gourmet that made our daughter's and son-in-law's day unforgettable!

I was there for a wedding recently. The home is beautifully designed. They thought of every detail one may need. The reception area was breathtaking & the food was exquisite!

I highly recommend Pear Tree as a venue and for catering. The food was delicious and the space is beautiful. We had our wedding here in the fall and it was lovely to have the venue surrounded by tall, dry corn. I still dream of the delicious mashed potatoes we had that night.

Recently relocated Champaign county area. I attended a wedding at this venue. The only place to have a special event would be the pear tree estate.not sure of the owners or the history of the place, but it's beautiful, great for weddings, family reunions, couples weekend or whatever, just a nice beautiful area. I have to say again, the wedding was off the chain beautiful!

We have attended several events at Pear Tree. Where do I start? I'll start with an overview. The parking is always very simple, it's very easy to find the entrance, and the entire venue is very welcoming. The restrooms are immaculate, and each server is happy to help you hang your coat and enjoy the event. The experience. The experience when we enter Pear Tree is difficult to explain.

Each event was so wonderful and unique! One time it was a romantic candlelit wedding outside easing into a celebration of love with such craveable food! The kind you think about for days. One time it was a jolly celebration of a very important person's birthday. There were food stations all over specifically geared to the person of honor. When you enter Pear Tree, the mood is immediately set by the decor of the entryway and the people welcoming you. Every event is different, and every host has made it uniquely theirs. Every time we attend a Pear Tree Estate event, I tell my husband that I want to get married again.

Beautiful venue that has some surprisingly great views. Attended a wedding here and people could only say amazing things about this place.

We are SO glad we chose Pear Tree for our wedding ceremony and reception. The PTE team was professional, kind and passionate and we loved working with them. They made long distance planning easy and efficient. We were so impressed with every aspect of the wedding and appreciated the attention to detail. The catering was exceptional. Many guests told us this was the best wedding food they have ever had.

We also got many compliments on the signature drinks. The venue was the most beautiful and perfect place to celebrate our love with close family and friends. The property is simply stunning and a perfect place for a Midwest wedding. The bridesmaids and I adored getting ready in the Concorde Room. The PTE team (especially Annie, Ally & Caitlin) was so calm and helpful and made a potentially overwhelming process and event go so smoothly and wonderfully. We are thankful to have had our dream wedding at Pear Tree Estate!

I was here over the weekend for my brother's wedding. It could not have been more perfect! My mom has been to a lot of weddings her day but says this was by far the best food she's ever had at a wedding reception! And I agree the dinner was AMAZING.

The Pear Tree Estate was very important to the success of our wedding experience. Highlights: - The AMAZING food. We were actually very averse to having chicken at our wedding, but their brined/smoked chicken was the unquestionable favorite of the guests. We also recommend the cornbread and goat cheese pasta. - The professionalism of the women who run Pear Tree.

They responded quickly in the final weeks of planning and were accommodating in our adjustments in the last few days. - We felt very taken care of as the bride and groom. They brought us a plate of appetizers after the cocktail hour had concluded and brought us a drink when the bar had closed. - The venue was well acquainted with vendors in the wedding industry from the surrounding area.

Their recommendations turned out very well, and the communication between the Pear Tree and the vendors was key. - The landscape was beautiful. Somehow, they arranged for our wedding day to have perfect weather as well : Critique: There's only one. The amount of food distributed to the guests was a bit overwhelming. Fortunately, the Pear Tree did give the wedding party a large portion of leftovers at the end of the night.

This venue is really pretty. I was here for an award ceremony. The exposed wood on the ceiling and simplistic chandelier really gave this venue a romantic feeling. I feel like it would be easy to really make this place your own with decorations. The fountain on the outside was also a nice touch. I am unsure about pricing since I was a guest.

Landmark Review: We had our department christmas party here and it was not what I expected in the middle of the country. The only major negative thing to speak of is the poorly lit sign on the country road where traffic is moving at 60 mph. People are tailing you as you are trying to find the entrance to this venue. In addition the parking lot is poorly lit and very hard to figure out where the parking spots are, however once you are inside you are greeted with a very large christmas tree and fire place.

They spent a lot of time and detail furnishing the place to look like a first class hotel in Chicago. The staff was pleasant and the food they served for the event was great. The sliced apple, blue cheese, walnut salad was simply divine. We also had a honey glazed salmon and grilled chicken along with a few sides. Food was cooked well, flavorful and not overdone which is often the problem with large venues. The open bar was not bad. If you want to plan a wedding or an event this is the place to visit!

My cousin just got married and the reception was at Pear Tree Estate. As of June, 2014, this place is only a few months old. It's a really excellent venue. Very large with high wood beam ceilings and lots of room to dine and dance. The servers were very quick to swoop in and pick up any used glasses and plates. (They did hijack my knife, which would have come in handy when the meat arrived.) The wedding feast included pork tenderloin and chicken breasts.

Both were good, if not outstanding. My girlfriend raved about the salad, with its strawberries, goat cheese, candied pecans and white balsamic dressing. You can see their wedding catering menu here - http://lagourmetcatering.com/weddings/ Bartenders were fast and friendly. If you're having an event here, make sure to get the grilled cheese hors d' oeuvres.

Maybe the best thing I've ever tasted at a wedding. The venue is beautiful but I have two criticisms. 1) The walls are all white, which makes for a very boring background for photos. There's a cool fireplace, but other than that, you may as well be taking passport photos. 2) The venue's big, flat, empty walls create something of an echo chamber.

It was really hard to understand anything that was being said into the microphones. That said, if I knew someone getting hitched and having their reception at Pear Tree Estate, I'd be jazzed to go back.
