Built for a Family
Originally built in 1919 as a private estate, the property now known as The Ellery has served many roles in the Crystal Lake community, from a stately residence to a bustling banquet hall. Previously known as Hickory Hall, the venue has hosted generations of celebrations and gatherings. Today, The Ellery carries that legacy forward with a fresh vision, honoring the charm and history of the space while offering a modern, thoughtfully designed setting for weddings and events.

You're Family Now
The Ellery was born from our family’s shared love of hospitality and a desire to create a space that feels both timeless and deeply personal. With backgrounds in wedding planning, facilities management, marketing, and business development, we came together with a vision to build more than just a venue. We wanted to create a warm, welcoming place where people could celebrate life’s most meaningful moments. As a close-knit family, we understand the importance of connection and the feeling of home, and we have thoughtfully designed every detail of The Ellery to reflect that. From your first tour to your final dance, we hope you feel like part of the family here.
