A Pocket Full of Sunshine, LLC A Special Event Venue - Mt Vernon, Illinois

Josh &. L. P.

A Pocket Full of Sunshine is a fabulous venue! The wedding was outside in the wooded area and the reception was in the large barn. Everything was top notch! The staff was pleasant, all the details were in place and there are plenty of great spots to take portraits of the wedding party and bride and groom - wooded areas or structure. This place should definitely be on your list of wedding venues to check out if you're getting married!

Nice rural event space. We attended a woodland wedding service near sunset. Firepits for the guests who wanted to spend more time outside and lovely modern facility for the reception. Plenty of parking. Google maps gets you there, although it is pretty wiggly on back roads.

This place gets an absolutely 0 out of five from me. If you want to have your rehearsal dinner at her other location because she booked a wedding on your rehearsal night by all means book this place, if you want your decorations you pay good money for still being put up while guest are arriving, by all means book this place, if you want your decorations to be not what you asked for and half ass done and decorations from the wedding the night before, by all means book this place, if you want your wedding to feel rushed, by all means book this place, if your okay with the workers taking your dinner plate off the table when clearly you are still eating, by all means book this place. If you want the owners mother (Sherry) to be rude to your guests, the bride and groom, by all means book this place. If you want you water in the glasses for the decor your paid for taken away before you even take one drink out if it, by all means book this place. While the venue is nice the owner is money hungry and excuse maker, she says one thing and does another. Talks about her policy but does not follow her OWN.policy!!!! The workers were rude, and her mother was not even in work clothes like the others, her hair was down and she was in regular clothes just walking around and smelled like smoke which was nasty. No one cut the cake up which you thought one of them would have but no guess what that’s an extra charge to have them do that lol. This place is over priced, they rush your big day and then kick you out! Waste of money!!!! Please do not waste your money!!!

I got to DJ at Pocket Full of Sunshine this weekend. I have DJd literally hundreds of weddings at lots of venues and this is one of the nicest . Very clean, new and climate controlled. Lots of room. The lady the owns it was there the whole time and was awesome and had fun with the guests and was very helpful to me making sure I had everything I needed and even offered to help me load out. She was very cool and the staff was great. Lots of parking. The perfect place for both the ceremony and reception.

Beautiful place. Was not super easy to find. They need some signs on the road. The setup was really nice though. The staff is a little sloppy yet. Things don't run completely smoothly yet. They have a plan, executions just not down pat yet. But the beauty of the place will steal your heart.

Beautiful venue. The owners thought of everything. From large well furnished bridal and groom staging rooms to a spacious outdoor patio. Plenty of parking. Love the wood ceilings and beams. The event space itself is large with high ceilings and very versatile. Excellent experience overall.

Talia was an absolute dream to work with! You can tell how much thought and care she puts into this venue. The amount of detail work she did for the flower arrangements was phenomenal! She was very helpful with the planning process and I found her pricing to be fair. She was also easy to get ahold of and answered any questions I had in a timely manner. I recommend having her decorate for your event. She really brought my dream reception to life!
