We had the most gorgeous wedding at St. John’s Northwestern Academy! The chapel was an absolutely beautiful and intimate setting that made our ceremony feel so special. It comfortably accommodated our 150 guests, and we received so many compliments on the charming and historic atmosphere. The campus itself is incredibly scenic — from the classic architecture to the lush grounds — which made it a dream location for photos.

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.
