About

Having the perfect wedding day starts with finding the perfect location. At Firefly Grill, modern design meets country chic to create the perfect intimate setting for your big day.

Our brides want a beautiful setting to enhance the day, inspire guests and create memories that will last a lifetime. From small gatherings in the rustic wine room or water-side indoor patio, to the open, airiness of the main dining room, to larger gatherings on the lakeside fields enclosed with ornamental grasses, the firefly grill creates a lasting impression.

Chef Niall works intimately with the Bride and Groom to create the perfect menu for the event.

Fall in love with firefly weddings.

 

 

Testimonials

  • "I have never, in all my life, eaten at a better place than this. The gardens outside would make any gardeners / foodies drool with envy and the pollinator gardens and rain gardens make my environmental heart jump with joy.

    I have died and gone to Heaven. I legitimately would come back to Illinois just to eat here again."

    -Jacqui Empson Laporte

  • "A piece of heaven in the middle of nowhere. Traveling from Columbus to St. Louis and stopped for the night in Effingham. Told to try this restaurant by the hotel. The place has a rustic look with a pond that has fish in it. The wine list was great and the food was excellent. Each dish was well presented and delicious. The desserts are to die for. Would stop again just to have another meal here."

    -TRIPADVISOR

  • "Words can't even begin to describe how lucky we feel to have had the best day of our life at Firefly. Katie, you and the rest of the Firefly staff seriously outdid yourselves through the entire process! We have nothing but great things to say to everyone about you all and everyone loved it! Can't wait to see you all again soon!"

    -Samantha (bride)
