Things To Do
History of the Church of St. John Cantius
The parish where we are getting married is also the place where we were engaged! Words & photos alone cannot capture the extraordinary holiness & beauty we found here. Follow this link to read about the incredible history of the Church of St. John Cantius, & check out the other pages on this website to learn more about parish life here!
Ravisloe Country Club
One of our favorite dates to go on together is a golf date, so it seemed only natural that we host our reception on a golf course! Ravisloe Country Club is beautiful & a fun course to play - check out the link below for green fees & tee time information if you'd like to play a round of 9 or 18 holes while you're here! :) Ravisloe also has a rich history - you can learn more about it at this link too!
Pope Leo XIV's Childhood Home
Make a prayerful pilgrimage to the childhood home of our new Pope! We realized how close our reception venue was to Pope Leo's old home while visiting different venue options, & would love for you to be able to visit too if you'd like ~ only about 20 minutes away from Ravisloe!
Thornton Distilling Co.
About 10 minutes from Ravisloe Country Club sits the oldest standing distillery in Illinois, built in 1857. If you're a fan of whiskey or fascinating history, you should stop here for a drink & a bite to eat! If you have a bit more time, you can also reserve tickets for a tour of the distillery (all ages welcome)!
