White Pines Lodge

Set among the trees and natural scenery of White Pines Forest State Park, White Pines Lodge offers a distinctive setting for weddings, corporate gatherings, retreats, reunions and milestone celebrations. Organisers can plan outdoor ceremonies in a woodland setting, with indoor options also available, then bring guests together for a reception in the historic lodge or its adjoining outdoor areas.

The lodge’s wedding offering includes several package options, with additional services available to help shape the day. Couples can also make use of the property’s log cabin accommodation, giving wedding parties and guests the option to stay close to the celebrations. There are 23 cabins in a range of sizes, including larger options suited to families and groups.

For business and social organisers, the property’s event spaces and on-site amenities make it a choice for retreats, conferences, family reunions and special occasions. The lodge restaurant provides food for guests, while the surrounding parkland gives groups a scenic backdrop and room to enjoy time outdoors. The historic building’s stone and timber character lends events a relaxed, rustic atmosphere rather than a conventional conference-centre feel.

Whether arranging a wedding weekend, a company retreat or a gathering for family and friends, planners can bring together venue, dining and overnight stays in one location. White Pines Lodge is in Mount Morris, within reach of Rockford and around 90 minutes west of Chicago.
