    Absolutely Beautiful

    The venue itself offers so many beautiful ceremony sites and photo opportunities and is a true showcase of nature’s beauty. It’s absolutely GORGEOUS!!! It offers rock walls, waterfalls, gazebos, and natural stone steps tucked away in a forest. Also, Becca makes the whole process SO easy and very enjoyable. She’s open to and able to make helpful suggestions on whatever style ceremony and reception you’re looking for. She’s also organized and responsive, which put us at ease throughout the whole planning process.

    Beautiful outdoor venue and kind, professional owner

    We had the pleasure of working with Beth to plan our ceremony and reception at White Pines. She was so professional, had answers to every question, and lots of amazing ideas based on so many decades of experience running weddings at White Pines. The wedding canyon is BEAUTIFUL, perfect for anyone wanting an outdoor ceremony. The price is affordable (especially compared with Chicago locations- you can't beat it) and the staff is experienced and professional. You can have a whole weekend with cabins, campfires, and cookouts- highly recommend this experience for Chicago and Illinois couples!

    Thanks for the wonderful comments. It was a pleasure working with both of you. Best of luck to you and Kate.

    Dream Wedding because of White Pines!

    We had our wedding in April there of 2019, Beth was great to work with, took criticism well and did not hesitate to do her best to fulfill every request given. Even if she could not she always did her best to find the best alternative. The scenery here, even in April is amazing. We had cold conditions with no leaves on the trees and we still had amazing photos. The food was fantastic - even with the limited choices we loved everything they had and we had a hard time choosing exactly what we wanted since every plate was delicious! And honestly their wedding packages are very affordable as we looked at other venues and theirs was definitely the best ! I recommend this place 100%

    Fall Wedding at Wedding Canyon

    We had an outdoor reception in the Emerald Aisle. It was absolutely beautiful. We are Jewish so we asked for many special requests and they were so accommodating and flexible. Great, talented staff that are super invested in ensuring it is the most special day. On top of this great service, their honeymoon cabins are absolutely beautiful. It was the perfect ending to an amazing day.

    Pine Creek's reply:

    Emilie, thanks so much for writing a review. We sincerely appeciate it. Our entire staff loved your reception. Seeing all your amazing dances and traditions was such a treat for all of us.

    Excellent!

    White Pines Weddings was great to work with!! Beth was very professional from the beginning and was super accommodating for my husband who is in a wheelchair. They went out of their way to put us in a cabin that was suitable for his chair and gave us an upgrade when she realized we wouldn’t be able to get him into the honeymoon cabin. The food was excellent and there was plenty to go around. All of our guests said that the venue was gorgeous and enjoyed themselves immensely! The only downfall that we came across was the following morning they were not expecting a large group for breakfast. My husbands family stayed overnight and they didn’t have enough staff to accommodate us right away. They did the best they could but there were still long waits for food. Overall the experience was outstanding and we can’t wait to return again!

    Pine Creek's reply:

    Everyone here at White Pines loved your wedding. The staff is still talking about the buffalo check table runners. I sincerely apologize that we were under staffed for your breakfast group and I thank you for being honest and letting us know. Best of luck to you and Seth.

    Amazing Experience

    We had an amazing experience for our wedding. The new owner Becca is very professional, and did everything to make our day special. I recommend this for a wedding venue over another because, everyone who works here doesn't miss a beat to make your wedding day beautiful.

    Pine Creek's reply:

    Tasha & Jamie it was our pleasure to host your wedding. Everyone loved your choral color theme with the tan. We show off the photos all the time!! Thanks, Beth & Becca

    Perfect , flawless

    We had our wedding on March 30, 2019. It was perfect. When we say perfect , WE MEAN IT!!! Beth and the entire White Pines Wedding Staff accommodated our every need. Beth made the entire wedding planning process very smooth and easy. We had checked around at other facilities also before making our decision and we thought White Pines offered the best wedding packages at a reasonable price. Beth and the staff stayed in contact with us throughout the entire process as our big day grew closer. The appetizers, main course and desserts were perfect and tasted great. They have a professional chief that prepared everything. Our wedding was held at The Cedar Stone. The building was beautiful and went perfect with our rustic theme wedding. You can’t go wrong having you’re special day with White Pines Weddings. We recommend it , Thanks again Beth and Staff ,sincerely John & Christa. Oh 1 last thing, We’d recommend adding the open bar too as we did, everyone’s happy lol

    Amazing people and an amazing place

    Nothing but pure bliss. The entire process to get married was a breeze. The site is gorgeous, the food amazing (The roast beef is divine!) and the people who run it some of the nicest people I've ever met. They where incredibly flexible and understanding with us, and made sure we felt more like family than anything else. I would never in my life want to get married anywhere else but here. If you want someone to do a good deal of planning so you can relax, I recommend this 100 times over. No place could be better than this location.

    The wedding of our dreams!

    We had our wedding at White Pines this past September and could not be happier with how everything turned out. Truly, this place is amazing and such a hidden gem. The food and venue are absolutely amazing, and you will not find friendlier or more down-to-earth staff than White Pines. Throughout the entire process, it was so obvious how hard everyone works and how much they care about making you feel special and giving you the wedding of your dreams. The wedding canyon's scenery is breathtaking and so unique for an outdoor wedding. We have received so many compliments from family and friends on White Pines, saying they have never been to a wedding like this and how cool of a place it is.They truly are a one-stop shop for everything you need which took out so much stress and time from our planning. They guide you through everything and are so organized. They have so many options to help customize your day, but also were always willing to let us bring our own ideas and items for decorations. They are truly committed to letting you do what you want and what works best for you. Beth and Kelly are an amazing team - they are so sweet and respectful, I never felt like I was bothering them or nervous to ask questions or bring up ideas, and they were always willing to go the extra mile for us. Looking back on all the vendors I used - that is something that is very hard to find. I can't thank White Pines enough for giving us the wedding of our dreams. We will always continue to come back here and they will be a big part of our life forever!

    The perfect experience

    White Pines Wedding Canyon is a beautiful venue to get married in. The landscape is breathtaking and the Lodge has amazing food and plenty of room for a perfect reception - both inside and outside. Everything about White Pines is beautiful. Even more importantly, the staff is outstanding. They are so accommodating and hardworking. On our wedding day, even though it rained, they did everything to ensure things went flawlessly. Everyone was just so amazing from start to finish. Planning my wedding was never stressful. I feel like I had a team of people helping me the entire time. I am SO happy I got married here!! It was the perfect place!!

    Absolutely amazing

    ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I got married back in April and I chose Cedar Stone as my wedding venue. It was the first venue that I had visited, and I knew it was the perfect place the moment I walked in. I checked out a few other places after it because I was told I needed to look around, although I did not feel I had to look around because I knew how much I loved Cedar Stone. I was right, no other venue compared to it. Our wedding was perfect, everything that I had dreamed it would be. Beth and Kelly were so easy and awesome to work with, they made it all a breeze. Even their kitchen staff were so accommodating to everyone who attended my wedding. Everything about Cedar Stone is beautiful. I could not have chosen a better venue or better people to work with for our special day.

    So glad we went with them! You should too!

    My husband and I had our wedding here on 4-28-18. it turned out absolutely gorgeous! The staff stayed connected with me through the entire process, double checking what color things needed to be, what music for the ceremony, and what food we wanted. Oh! And the food! it was all AMAZING! Honestly, both my hubby and I ate too much and didnt really drink because it was just so delicious. They really make sure there is plenty for everyone to go back several times for more as well! One of the best parts? They clean up for you!!!! You just take what you want to keep from your decorations and then go! This is probably one of my favorite things because after a long exhausting day you just want to relax, not be clean up crew. We stayed in the honeymoon suite that night as well and the hot tub was so relaxing after having such a long day, and the bed was the most comfortable bed I've slept in! I would defintely recommend having a wedding here to anyone. They help you along every step of the way, even suggesting vendors for photography and DJing if your having issues finding them!

    We got married on December 22nd, 2017, at White Pines Resort, so it was a winter wedding. Everything was held indoors at the lodge - the wedding ceremony and the reception. We worked with White Pines Weddings in the few months beforehand for planning and they were always great to work with. We were very impressed by the facility, the available resources and the professionalism of the staff. We also felt that sense of belonging as we planned and visited the facility; they always seemed genuinely happy to see us.

    The decorations that are up in the banquet room (where everything was held) that time of year are so beautiful and not overdone. We were thrilled with everything including the food and service. Maybe the best compliment that we can give White Pines Weddings is that our wedding day was almost stress free in that we did not have to be concerned that they would follow our wishes and give the highest service possible.

    We have had so many compliments from those that attended our wedding as well as those who have viewed our pictures. Of course, we also had other vendors, but they all teamed up to provide us the best of everything we could imagine for our wedding day and for the start of a beautiful marriage.

    Everything about this venue was perfect!!! The location was immaculately groomed and picturesque, the food and drinks were fantastic and more than anything; the staff were fantastic! Every last detail was thought of and addressed before we even had a moment to think about something not going right.
    The platinum wedding package encompassed every single thing we could have wanted in a venue and more. If you are looking for a stunning background (and a staff that will make every detail your dream-come-true) for your special day - THIS IS IT!!!

    If you want a magical, beautiful, and stress-free wedding, the Wedding Canyon is the place to get married! The venue is gorgeous. I wanted a venue that would lend itself to good pictures and little decorating, and the Canyon's natural beauty was just the thing I needed. Beth and all of the staff are super friendly and truly passionate about giving you your dream wedding. They listened intently to my wants and worked with me to establish a schedule and price that suited my needs. The whole experience of planning my wedding was seamless, fun, and exciting thanks to their very experienced and helpful staff. Thank you Beth and everyone else for giving me my dream wedding!

    We had our first date at White Pines State Park, we wanted to go back to where it started. Since we live in Chicago I was worried about having to plan the wedding from here, they made TWO BRIDES very happy with making sure to answer to all of our specific requests. They even recommend Bev Spears as our officiant, she was an amazing part of our wedding as well. We ever so grateful to everyone that made our day special. Love The Buckerts 4/22/17

    I would recommend White Pines to any couple that is looking for an amazing wedding. Beth and her staff were truly amazing to help us get through our day, everything was taken care for us and there was almost no work on our part to enjoy the day and evening with our guests. Our friends and family loved the cabins they stayed in and really brought our fall wedding to an amazing level. Our guests loved the food, venue and I think they took more pictures of the wedding canyon then we did. Thank you again to Beth and the entire staff.

    The staff was very helpful in the planning process and very flexible with the weather. Our wedding was flawless. We had a bunch of older guests and they were all able get into the canyon with ease. All of our guests said how beautiful the canyon is. We also had our reception at the White Pines Inn and the staff there did an amazing job with the quantity of guest that we had. I was very happy with how everything went and have recommended this location for other people to host their events.

    Beth and her staff at White Pines Inn made our wedding day truly special. The venue is gorgeous, the staff is super friendly and will basically bend over backwards to make your day special. I had so many questions and they would respond via email within a day every time. The helped us to find our cake, flowers, officiant, and even offer services for invitations. Reasonably priced with a beautiful location! If you want an outdoor wedding more unique than the typical golf course you will LOVE the wedding canyon!! So gorgeous anytime of the year. They also have AMAZING food. People are STILL talking about how great it was there!

    Thank you again!!

    Jillion & Dan
