My fiance & I were invited to this venue for a fun Friday night holiday date night. Their invitation also gave us a chance to get out of the house amidst cov19 in a safely distanced & intimate environment while also being given information regarding what the venue offered. We were greeted at the door by the entire crew for just the 2 of us which started the night off with such a VIP feeling, hospitable experience. Upon being given a complimentary charcuterie board w/a wide variety of snacks, fun cocktails, & the opportunity to make a cute "Our 1st Christmas Engaged" ornament, we were given so much more than one could ask of a venue or its supporting members. It's not every day you can meet all the supporting vendors you could possibly need on your big day all in 1 spot, being able to ask all the questions you have for them. Not to mention the vibes they give off being a team that's worked so well together for a large number of years created such a sweet feeling & very comforting to see. They were patient, sweet, informative, kind, so very personable, and just all around fun to spend your evening with & hang out. Tell me there is another vendor out there who will also, for the price of $0, give you advice on helpful tips you might not be able to hear from anyone else. Not only did they offer tips for the big day regarding things like lighting & how to get the pictures you want but they eagerly gave you a guided dance lesson, relationship pointers & marital advise for a continued strong marriage after the fact once the exciting day was something behind you. This venue with it's crew of supporting vendors was the very 1st one we saw on our journey of venue hunting, and we wanted so badly to book them right there on the spot. We are venturing around because its just what you do when you've only seen 1 place but it will be a very hard example for other vendors to try and follow or compete with for sure!

Best wedding Venue in IL
We had our wedding here on 9/2/22 and it was absolutely beautiful! Anna is a joy to work with! From the very first meeting up to the day/night of our wedding everything was perfect! She is very meticulous and makes sure everything runs as smooth as possible! She had a smile on her face the whole wedding day! Anna truly loves what she does and it shows. We had so many compliments on how beautiful the venue was and how wonderful Anna and her staff were. The Shores made our wedding day perfect. Thank you!

The Perfect Place
I cannot say enough about how perfect it was to have our wedding at The Shores of Turtle Creek. From the minute we walked in we knew this was exactly what we wanted! Anna was so incredibly helpful, detailed, and quick to respond with any questions we had. She gave us preferred vendor suggestions which made the rest of our planning process super simple because everyone we called and talked to, we loved!
What really sets The Shores apart from other venues is the incredible property it sits on. This location is a tucked-away spot of beauty with perfect backdrops for a wedding anytime of the year. There are bridges, ponds, pathways, and beautiful trees. You will have a hard time picking your favorite spot!
Since we were getting married at 5:00 in October, we opted to have our wedding inside as weather and temperatures at that time can be questionable. Before making that decision, Anna was very helpful in giving us all of our options and possibilities of what our plans could be. She also talked to us about cocktail hour options for where our guests could be while the room was flipped for our reception. We decided to have cocktail hour on the outside deck and I’m so glad we did! It was cozy, intimate, and allowed easy access for appetizers and drinks at the bar…not to mention our guests also got another beautiful view of the property!
Our reception was where the ceremony was and the room was flipped incredibly fast and efficiently. The same went for dinner service and cake table set up. Anna said from the start they have a plan and know exactly what to do and when to do it, and you can be assured that is exactly the way your day will go.
From start to finish Anna and her staff took care of everything and our only job was to enjoy our guests and to have the best day of our new life together. It was perfect 💕
The Shores of Turtle Creek is a very beautiful wedding venue. The food is great and the staff is always very helpful. We would recommend Turtle Creek to any perspective bride and groom.
The Shores of Turtke Creek is one of the best venues in lake county.
I can’t say enough good things about the Shores.
Anna and her staff run a perfect wedding day.
The venue is absolutely beautiful. The ceremony site is is breathtaking. The catering is some of the best food I’ve ever eaten.
Give Anna a call and book the Shores now before your date gets taken.
