    Starved Rock Lodge is one of the best wedding venues in Illinois. They have so many amenities available to the couple and their guests. Beautiful scenery, lodging and food, and a helpful and attentive sales staff. The weddings are beautiful and fun and guest always love being able to explore the park.
