We looked at many wedding venues in multiple states as my fiancé and I grew up in different states and have family/friends scattered pretty widely. Not only is the Gardens the most unique and grants you access to the entire property for the day all for your wedding, they go above & beyond in every aspect. The Gardens takes care of food/drink and have a great network of recommended vendors for any aspects of the wedding they don’t provide (photos, officiant, etc.). This was by far the best value we found in any venue. You can tell the care and attention to detail from the start of your tour of the grounds and meeting Johan, Amanda and Chef Kent. The grounds are amazing and have a ton to offer both indoors and outdoors, chapel, other indoor spaces to get ready, sprawling gardens and outdoor ceremony area plus a large tent. Look no further than the Gardens!

Forest Hills Lodge 
Loves Park, IL
  • Up to 460 guests

In 1976, Hugh and Jody Deery had established themselves as greats in Midwest short track race promoting. With their large plot of land in Loves Park, just miles north of Rockford already housing Rockford Speedway, they asked themselves what's missing? The answer was affordable quality banquet space! Thus the idea for the Forest Hills Banquet was born. Construction began in 1977 and was completed in 1978. The annual Rockford Speedway Banquet was one of the first events held in the newly constructed "Lodge" and we are proud to have played a part in many wonderful celebrations in the years which have followed.
