About

Step into our world. A world of natural beauty, of timeless elegance and of lasting memories. We proudly present to you, The Shores of Turtle Creek, our natural wonder for your most perfect wedding or event.

Couples interested in a gorgeous outdoor wedding ceremony and/or reception frequently find themselves at the Shores of Turtle Creek. Our Chicagoland outdoor wedding venue is unlike any other you and your significant other may have seen, and this is because of our beautiful combination of private outdoor space and wonderful indoor amenities.

Our beautiful, 32-acre estate offers the best location in the area for all types of outdoor activities such as fireworks shows.

The main building begins with a spacious front porch that welcomes each guest through a set of big doors and into the large, 10,000 square-foot, two-story lodge. The main floor room centers on a large stone fireplace surrounded by vast skylights and windows, all of which invite the scenic outdoors inside for year-round natural beauty. The natural yet contemporary lodge plays hosts to groups large and small, with enough room for ceremonies and receptions.

Most unique space in the entire Midwest!

This place is NOT your typical banquet hall with old furniture, disco balls and chandeliers from the 50's! Shores feels more like a lodge in Yellowstone NP! It is warm, inviting and spacious. And the owner runs the place like a well-oiled machine! Our day - even with rain at an outdoor setting - was flawless.

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!
