St Stephens on the Hill Overview

Located on a 100-acre private estate just minutes from the beautiful Shawnee National Forest and Garden of the Gods in Southern Illinois, St. Stephens was designed and built with stunning Old World construction that never fails to impress. Exchange your vows by the new Viz Mellett overlooking one of the venue's three ponds or at the breathtaking Open Air Chapel constructed with Bedford stone and vintage materials. Then, take your photographer by the Erzsebet bridge, where you can spend time overlooking the water lilies and posing against whimsical garden lights. You'll also receive a Love Lock to add to the gate by the bridge, sharing your love with all future couples that choose St. Stephens. In addition, every couple that hosts their wedding ceremony at St. Stephens has the option to lay an engraved brick with their names and wedding date in the pathway at the entrance to the chapel. With so many possibilities at St. Stephens on the Hill for your wedding, it's no wonder why it's one of the most sought-after venues in the area.
