Welcome to McCormick Event Center

The Sauk Valley's Largest Venue

Get Started

Welcome!

McCormick Event Center welcomes the opportunity to host your event. We offer a blend of elegance and polish coupled with professional service and delectable foods. Our facility boosts the largest space available in the Sauk Valley, with room to seat 600 guests. Does your event have a smaller guest list? Utilize our sound-proof walls to create a more intimate gathering for your occasion. The space is bright and elegant, with granite, stone and gorgeous chandeliers. The venue is styled in grays to make it easy to decorate with any color you desire for your party.

Our chefs have more than 100 years of combined experience. We are very proud of every meal that has been presented to our guests, and our servers are friendly, efficient and dedicated to making your event the best possible experience. Our on-staff coordinator is available to answer any questions you may have by phone, and meet with your vendors to set up your event.

We understand the trust and responsibility that is given to us when we partner with you for your special event. We recognize that your choice of where to host your event is an important one, and we hope you will consider our facility and services the perfect choice for your dream event.
