“Love of Science and Nature” - It’s the founding motto of Lake Forest, IL, and the inspiration for the identity of our hotel. A forester, by definition, is an expert in the science of forestry. But at The Forester Hotel, they are also someone who is at the heart of two roads diverged; be it the crossroads of science and nature, tradition and innovation, or in your case, past and future, as you make plans to embark on a lifelong journey together. We’re passionate about preservation, but we’re not afraid to blaze new trails or unearth something new as part of the scientific method. Are you ready to discover innovative event spaces, deluxe dining, and memorable experiences? Are you naturally curious? Let your beautiful wedding blossom at The Forester. From the rehearsal to the "I do" to the farewell, we can host it all. With one phone call, you can check your room block, rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception, and farewell brunch off your to-do list.
