Introducing White Pines LaBranche

Introducing White Pines LaBranche - The all new multi room banquet facility for weddings up to 275 guests all in one spacious room.  White Pines Inn has been bursting at the seams for years with no room for growth in the state park. "There just hasn't been enough room at the Inn for the ever expanding wedding business and the ability to host large events or multiple events on the same day", says owner Beth Henderson. All that has changed with the addition of a gorgeous 6,000 sq ft. Cedar Forest building, located just 7 miles west of the White Pines Inn and Wedding Canyon, in Polo, Illinois.  The new facility will offer not just one more banquet and reception room, but two. Renovations are currently underway with a completion date planned for early spring of 2011. Current plans include an all new entrance designed with stone columns that will include an overhang for the loading and unloading of guests. New carpeting and dance floors and fountains are also in the plans.  The bar area will be re-designed into a second banquet room and both banquet spaces will have their own granite and limestone bar areas."Lighting is really important to me and I believe a key element in the look we are trying to create", says Henderson. "We are not going for an over-the-top, outlandish facility, just a place that is beautiful, warm and inviting and can be used comfortably for all types of events including wedding receptions, banquets, reunions, proms, and more". Events are already being planned and reserved for the 2011 season. If interested contact the event planners at White Pines Inn. The food and menus offered will be the same at both locations and are all available on the website at www.whitepinesinn.com under the drop down menus of either Restaurant Banquet Menus or Wedding Receptions Menu & Pricing . Reservations and inquiries will all be handled through the White Pines Inn phone number at 815 946-3817 or by emailing This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it or This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
