Paul’s Paradise is a family operated wedding and event venue located about 10 miles west of Springfield.
Paul’s Paradise began as an extension of the Paul Tree Farms family business. “After years of growing trees and creating beautiful outdoor spaces, we saw an opportunity to create something completely different on the property – a place where couples and families could come together and celebrate some of the most important moments of their lives,” owner Sherri Paul said. “We offer couples the opportunity to have their ceremony and reception in one location with both indoor and outdoor spaces and many of the details they would otherwise have to rent or coordinate separately already included.”
The wedding and event venue has continued to evolve based on what couples need and what can be done to make their wedding experience easier and more memorable. “We’ve now had more than150 successful, beautiful weddings,” Paul said. “What we believe makes Paul’s Paradise stand out is how much we include and how personally involved we are with our couples. From tables, chairs, linens, décor, ceremony spaces, lighting and sound to our bridal suite, groom’s room, photo booth and on-site assistance, we try to make wedding planning as simple and stress-free as possible.”
