At Company 421, we’ve always believed that planning a wedding should feel intentional, inspiring, and joy-filled—never overwhelming. That’s why we’re thrilled to officially share that we will be a vendor at The Bridal Haven – A Wedding Planning Experience, taking place February 20–21, 2026 at the picturesque Allerton Park & Retreat Center.

This two-day retreat is unlike anything the Central Illinois wedding community has seen—crafted for brides who want more than a typical expo. It’s immersive, elevated, and designed to help couples make meaningful progress in their planning while connecting with trusted, talented vendors (including us!).

⭐ What Is The Bridal Haven?

TThe Bridal Haven is a thoughtfully curated, two-day planning experience created to support brides through one of the most exciting seasons of their lives. Instead of browsing crowded vendor aisles, attendees get to slow down, enjoy intentional workshops, and connect with vendors in a way that actually supports decision-making.

Over the course of two days, brides will enjoy:

Hands-on workshops like bouquet making
Morning yoga for a mindful, calm start
Meals included throughout both days
Exclusive access to vetted wedding pros
Planning tools, showcases, and guided experiences
A beautifully designed environment at Allerton Park
And of course… the chance to meet the Company 421 team!

Every ticket includes these core experiences—plus a floral bouquet, workbook materials, and other special touches.

We love hearing how our venue has helped hosts create moments of joy, ease, and celebration. Your kind words fuel our passion for what we do.
