Operating an event venue has been a concept in our minds for well over a decade now. We viewed properties and brainstormed ideas, but nothing ever seemed to pan out. Until May of 2018 when we were presented with the option of occupying space in the Sanctuary, located in Downtown Plainfield, Illinois.

This space dates back to 1904, when it was used as a Trolley Barn. It has since been completely refurbished into a beautiful and unique venue that still maintains it's historical value. We knew this venue was where we wanted to be, and Sanctuary Events was born. After many emotional months that felt like years, we opened our doors in December of 2019 and are thrilled to now have the opportunity to work alongside you to make your event memorable.

Beautiful place for a wedding. Mattie was a super person in charge. He was pleasant and very accommodating. He made sure everything ran smoothly. Nice, modern and clean, would book here again.

I love this venue but paid extra to have reserve seating and was told to be quite because we were cheering and talking to loud in each other’s ears mind you ,why wouldn’t I go to a concert and celebrate the band and talk about it and it was not just once it was twice ( first time I was gone and was intermission)

I absolutely loved the intimacy of this venue. We saw our boys, The Dead South and their opening group The Rainbow Girls. Great night!

Great venue, not a bad seat in the house. Its also cool to see all the things left over from the church.

I loved the Neil Mccoy concert, but was not happy that for General admission no seating was provided. 3-4 hours is long time to expect people to stand.

When we first pulled up I said, "I didn't expect him to be in quite so small a room." While I was taking video from the balcony I felt like the venue was a slice out of an Arena. It is a perfect size, the kind that I'm sure would be a little cold if not packed with bodies. Plus the old church is straight up gorgeous. One of the most unique venues I've ever been to; I hope one day I can book it for myself.

An amazing and intimate venue. Great architecture adds a unique feel and story. Seeing an artist at sanctuary can't be beat. Lines move fast and security has excellent control of the events. Clean environment that can be enjoyed by everyone.

Great venue. In this instance it was a concert. Smaller event, much more intimate. We had seats on the balcony which was a nice option.

This is a great little venue! We were here for Below Zero Wrestling and could tell that even for a concert or staged event there wouldn't be a bad seat in the house. Also beautiful for a wedding or family reunion.

Great venue. The prices for drinks were good for a entertainment establishment. The acoustics were excellent. Would 100% enjoy attending more events here in the future.
