The Barrington Area Chamber of Commerce and Women’s Biz Net will bring the Women’s Wellness Expo & Mixer to Makray Memorial Golf Club on Thursday, October 16, 2025, from 5–8 p.m. The evening gathering at 1010 S. Northwest Highway in Barrington is designed to connect residents with local providers across the spectrum of women’s health—while offering a social backdrop of appetizers, a complimentary wine tasting, raffle prizes, and giveaways.
A social evening with wellness at the center
Organizers describe the Expo as both a night out and a chance to discover resources that support health and balance. “This event is about giving women the chance to step away from their busy schedules and focus on themselves,” said Suzanne Cox, Barrington Area Chamber of Commerce President/CEO. “It’s both a social evening and an opportunity to discover local resources that support health, balance, and confidence.”
Admission is $25 and must be purchased in advance. The ticket includes hearty appetizers, a complimentary wine tasting, entry into raffle drawings, and assorted giveaways, according to the event announcement.
A cross-section of care under one roof
Attendees can expect conversations and introductions spanning family medicine, gynecology, breast and pelvic health, dental and cosmetic dentistry, counseling, chiropractic, physical therapy, pain management, fitness, skin care, and aesthetics.

Why it resonates in Barrington
According to background materials provided with the event announcement, Barrington is a small, family-oriented community of roughly 10,000 residents with higher-than-average household incomes and an active chamber ecosystem. That mix often translates into strong interest in preventive care, fitness, aesthetics, and family health services—as well as the purchasing power to act on what residents learn at events like this.
Industry trend materials supplied with the announcement note that demand for women’s health and wellness continues to grow, with rising attention to mental health, prevention, and personalized care. Holistic and complementary services have also gained traction; market-insight reports cited in the background materials estimate around a 30% increase in popularity for such services in recent years, a figure labeled medium reliability. Feedback from similar expos suggests community impact beyond a single night: one referenced post-event survey found about 85% of attendees felt more empowered to manage their wellness after participating. Organizers characterize that figure as drawn from event feedback data with medium reliability and not specific to Barrington.
What to expect on the floor
Between bites and the wine tasting, attendees can browse exhibitor tables, pick up samples, and talk directly with clinicians, practitioners, and small-business owners. The mix ranges from medical practices and dental offices to physical therapists, fitness studios, skin-care and aesthetics providers, and complementary wellness specialists. Organizers say the format is intentionally social to make it easy to compare options, book follow-up visits, and meet peers with similar health goals.
Tickets and the fine print
Tickets are $25 and must be purchased in advance. Admission includes appetizers, a complimentary wine tasting, raffle entry, and giveaways. The announcement does not specify capacity limits, discount options, or deadlines for advance purchase.
As Barrington continues to lean into community-driven wellness and local business networking, the Women’s Wellness Expo & Mixer offers a succinct snapshot of what’s available—from family medicine to astrology—without the pressure of a clinical setting. For providers, it’s a chance to meet prospective patients; for attendees, an evening to explore, ask questions, and leave with next steps toward feeling their best.
