Wikstrom Manor is located in the heart of Momence, Il. Designed and built by A. E. Wikstrom in 1892, the mansion was first used to house Swedish dignitaries visiting Chicago for the 1893 World's Fair and Exposition. It became known as Villa Swea and continued to be used by dignitaries, diplomats and local socialites. Wedding ceremonies at the manor can be held indoors in any of thebeautifully decorated rooms, or outdoors on the large tree-lined lawn that can accommodate up to 250 chairs. Seated reception dinners can accomodate up to 50 guests. At the end of the evening, the bride and groom can relax in the RoseSuite, which features a king-sized bed, a private bath with footed tub, and a spacious sitting room with a fireplace and television. A second-floor balcony offers guests a private, quite retreat for enjoying a morning cup of coffee or evening night-cap.
