Jerry and his crew made out wedding day incredible! They helped run the whole day, they got the guests seated, kept everything on schedule, and ensured that Ben and I didn't have to worry about anything. When our flowergirl got stage-fright right before walking down the aisle, Jerry swooped in to save the day and helped her find her mom. We initially didn't plan to do a grand entrance into the reception, but Jerry and the DJ (Megan from Music that Moves) made one happen last-minute so our flower girl could have a second shot ar throwing her petals. You're not just getting a venue at Parkway, you're getting a whole team who will make your event run smoothly. If we ever do a vow renewal or anniversary party, we will be back!

Our wedding weekend was everything we could have dreamed of, we have had multiple wedding guests say it was literally the best wedding they have ever attended. Sabrina our planner made the planning experience very efficient and meeting us where we were in the moments and providing every detail we needed. The venue was gorgeous, all the staff was wonderful, the atmosphere getting ready and leading up to the ceremony was everything we wanted, and THE FOOD was so so good. We recommend going with the cake vendor. We loved their selections so much they allowed us to have to cake flavors for our wedding. Everything was such great quality. We recommend a fall wedding if possible here. The grounds of the club are amazing for photos.

Homemade wooden top tables, field picked grapevine with lights, onsite parking, patio area for lawn games and natural trails throughout the grounds provide you with the perfect private celebration. We are located approximately 12 minutes from Beloit, WI, 25 minutes from Rockford, IL . Both of these amazing Cities have lots of options for your guest to be entertained and accommodations to stay!

Truly the BEST! So wonderful to work with, we really could not have asked for better! They made the wedding planning and processes so easy, and kept everything super organized. Easy to get a hold of, super down to earth, and family oriented... we were all so impressed and extremely thankful for everything Williams Tree Farm did to make our wedding a dream come true! I really could not recommend them more!!

We recently had our wedding at The Pavilion at Orchard Ridge Farms, and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The venue itself is stunning and made the most beautiful backdrop for our big day. The staff went above and beyond to make everything seamless. Stacie, Jill & Nicole were so helpful, incredibly attentive, organized and kind. Taylor made sure every detail was handled so we could focus on enjoying the moment. Guests are still raving about the food by Henrici’s catering (“best food I’ve had at a wedding EVER and better than many high class restaurants”). We also had quite a few guests with severe allergies/dietary restrictions and the Henrici’s kitchen went above and beyond to ensure everyone’s food was immaculate. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate one of the most important days of our lives. Highly recommend The Pavilion at Orchard Ridge Farms and Henrici’s Catering to any couple looking for elegance, professionalism, and unforgettable memories.

Forest Hills Lodge 
Loves Park, IL

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.
