| "The Bowl" at Camp Shaw. |
If you are looking for a stunning natural setting, you may want to consider Camp Shaw in Manteno, Illinois. The camp is just 7 miles off of Interstate 57, and it sits alongside the beautiful Rock Creek. Weddings are held at "The Bowl" which is accessible by the long staircase shown above, or golf carts that carry people down an access drive. This is a naturalistic setting and does not feature manicured gardens, but it is so lovely! The area allowed for a large group of chairs, and the bride and groom stood under an arbor that was put up after I had already started playing. Probably the best part was the abundant shade which, along with the creek, lowered temperatures about 10 degrees from what the rest of the world was experiencing!

Afterwards, guests headed up to the mess hall on the top of the hill for dinner, and then across the footbridge for dancing at yet another pavilion. Camp Shaw certainly has plenty of room to roam!
