Nestled in the peaceful setting of Geneseo, Illinois, Shadow Lake is a delightful banquet hall that cordially invites couples to host their dream wedding festivities in the company of their loved ones. This waterside event center came into fruition in the spring of 2022, when seven couples joined forces to purchase the building, and after extensive cleaning, renovating, and designing, reopened the property to the public as a bespoke event space. Shadow Lake now serves as an idyllic setting for a wide range of celebrations, most notably weddings.
