ABOUT THE PARSONAGE EVENTS

Dreams Into Reality
Welcome to The Parsonage—we're so glad you're here. My name is Megan Kramer, and alongside my husband Aaron, we are the owners of The Parsonage. What began as a love for bringing people together and creating meaningful experiences eventually became the vision for this space—a place where life's most special moments can be celebrated in a way that feels personal, welcoming, and unforgettable.
Born and raised in Plainfield, I grew up appreciating the importance of community and connection. My family owned Krebs Drugstore on Lockport Street, where neighbors regularly stopped in to chat, catch up, and connect. Those experiences taught me early on how much a place can mean to the people who gather there.
After high school, I moved to Chicago and built a career in the event industry, spending more than 15 years managing venues and planning events for Fortune 500 companies. Through that experience, I learned that the most memorable events are created through thoughtful details, design, and genuine hospitality.
When Aaron and I returned to Plainfield to raise our family, this historic property was presented to us. We immediately saw its potential—not just as a beautiful building, but as a place where life's most meaningful moments could be celebrated. Together, we envisioned a venue where people could gather, connect, and create lasting memories.
That vision became The Parsonage.


That vision became The Parsonage
Today, The Parsonage reflects what we value most: timeless character, thoughtful design, and warm, welcoming experiences. We truly approach it as a team—I bring the creative vision and event expertise, while Aaron provides the steady support behind the scenes that helps bring it all to life.
Our goal is simple: to provide a beautiful, intimate space where every celebration feels meaningful, memorable, and uniquely yours.
