Beach Park is a family-oriented community situated along Lake Michigan, just four miles north of Waukegan and 40 miles north of Chicago, so you are in close proximity to all the amenities of the big city.

However, Beach Park has some great resources of its own to help you with the wedding planning process, including caterers, bakeries, and wedding venues.

ThunderHawk Country Club has a 5-star culinary team who can create customized menus for your big day. The country club is cozy and sophisticated, as it features rustic wood-beam ceilings, a stone fireplace, an outdoor cocktail patio, and a two-story foyer entrance.

Corinne Alyse Cakes can make your wedding cake in whatever style you prefer, as well as bridal shower cakes and grooms cakes, wedding cupcake tiers, and custom cookie wedding favors.

The village of Beach Park shares its recreational facilities with Waukegan and Zion. During your free time, you can relax at Illinois Beach State Park, or go hiking in the Lake County Forest Preserve District and the Waukegan Park District.

The village is connected to the other lakeshore communities by a Pace bus line and the Metra Chicago & North Western/North Line, so you and your wedding guests will be able to easily explore the area on public transportation.
