Arboretum Club

ul the entire year leading up to the big day. They both were so responsive via phone and email and dealt with all of our millions of questions (from me and my mother)! They even planned the tasting around our schedule as much as they could, which we really appreciated. The venue is beautiful and we heard so many compliments about the food from our guests. There is a room right next to the dining room that was perfect for cocktail hour, and even had outdoor access overlooking the golf course. They even played a DVD with pictures of my husband and I behind the bar. Nicole worked our wedding reception the night of, and she did an amazing job. She was very attentive to my (and my mothers and husbands) needs all night. The reception went so smoothly, no issues at all! Going on the golf course to take pictures was really nice also (only bride and groom). The private bridal suite was amazing, it had a little room with a couch and a large private bathroom attached, it was perfect for holding the wedding gifts and bridal parties bags. I didn't realize how much I would appreciate that bridal suite, it was perfect for doing the bustle on my dress in private. My husband held the key, so only we had access to that room. Nicole worked with us ahead of time arranging the dining room and head table to what we wanted, which was not the traditional straight-across head table. It worked out perfectly and the dance floor is a really good size. This venue is also very reasonably priced. We searched for a while of different venues in the area and compared pricing; and for what we received, the Arboretum was the best bang for our buck. Our reception was absolutely perfect! I highly recommend!!!

e layout was perfect with an area for cocktail hour, spacious room for the reception, and outdoor space with a few extra tables. The food, drinks, and hors d'oeuvres were incredible. The packages were very reasonably priced compared to local alternatives. Our wedding ended up exactly how we wanted it and we can't recommend the Arboretum Club highly enough!

also a nice perk (included within the wedding package). The reception was beautiful and the decorations were set up just the way we wanted. I couldn't have asked for a better celebration!

t a ton of compliments on the food from the appetizers to the dinner to the sweets table and the late night snacks. Everyone had an awesome time. It was a perfect day!

and virtually stress free. No matter how many times we called or emailed, no matter how many questions we asked, everything was handled quickly and efficiently. The food was delicious, the staff friendly and helpful, and our event went off without a hitch. They were a pleasure to work with and I would definitely recommend this venue to anyone who wants a positive experience in planning a major event!

wrong, we would never know! The room is beautiful and we loved that it over looked the golf course. We were married in the winter so they put white lights on the trees outside. Food was also great! Our guests were complimenting for weeks after the wedding. Highly recommend this venue!

e challenge. Enter Chris and Sarah. From the MINUTE we met Chris, I knew she was the one. Her energy level and passion for her work was evident. I told her that we were from out of town and we were nervous about planning from so far away. The very first thing she said to me was "Oh, don't even worry! It won't be a problem!" My husband and I had a long engagement, which meant a lot of planning and emails back and forth with Chris. She took the time to answer all of my questions, both big and small and was nothing but accommodating through the entire journey. The day of our wedding it was forecasted to be sunny. Surprise, surprise it rained. I was devastated (for maybe 2 minutes), but Chris and her staff did everything in their power to transform the reception space into a wonderful ceremony location. Everything went off without a hitch (minus the weather) and it is all because of Chris and her amazing staff at The Arboretum Club. They are simply the best!

we had the wedding reception that we wanted on the budget that we had. Chris and Sarah were always excited to see us and to discuss our reception. They were always so patient with us and gave us honest answers and advice when we needed it. They were so amazing and helpful that you would have thought that it was a member of their own family that was getting married. The golf course here provided a lovely and perfect back drop for our wedding pictures. The food was amazing and our wedding cake was beautiful and delicious. The staff was always courteous to all of our guests. German, the banquet manager, did a great job of making sure that we were happy throughout our entire reception. My wife and I had very high expectations for our reception and The Arboretum Club did an excellent job of exceeding our expectations!

et room so your wedding is the only group in the facility. Food was incredible, the tasting party they offered a few months beforehand was so helpful and their bakery they contract with is amazing! Chris, Sarah, and Marissa are so helpful, quick to contact you back and have done this so many times everything works like clockwork. LOVED our experience at The Arboretum Club.

t the venue and services provided. And they are able to work with just about any budget! All throughout the preparation process, Chris and Sarah were extremely available to assist in ironing out all the last minute details that came up. And on the wedding day itself, WOW!! The reception hall FAR exceeded my or my husband's expectations! It was absolutely beautiful and the staff was extremely well organized and professional. Everything stayed on time and flowed seemingly effortlessly. We had so many people coming up to us and stating it was some of the best food at a wedding that they had ever had and the compliments about the venue itself were endless. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone!

that they'd rather just talk the talk than actually go above and beyond. Trying to have 3 events in one day - all of which should be events that you remember for ever - means you will make all 3 of the events feel like numbers. Great for small events, but think twice about having big events here when Chris in running the show.

honest, and amicable. We're planning to have our wedding ceremony and reception at The Arboretum in May 2017 and we're already counting down the days! We couldn't be more excited to have chosen The Arboretum for our wedding!

to work with. Chris is extremely knowledgeable and made the whole planning process so easy! German was the banquet manager on-site and executed the evening flawlessly! Some of the staff there has been there since the club opened, Alex and Jesus to name a couple! Knowing that I felt like I was in such good hands and didn't have to worry about a thing! The food was s amazing! And the space looked amazing! Everyone was commenting on how beautiful the room looked and how good the food was! Because of the Arboretum Club, we had an amazing and fun wedding that we will certainly never forget! Thanks everyone there!

at to stay away from based on our budget. Our tasting was a blast, and my now wife and I left stuffed! When the big day came up, Chris was great to work with. She made sure everything went off without a hitch. The food was excellent, and everyone had a great time. We just received our pictures, and they also have some great spots for photos. The Arboretum Club was fabulous to work with, and I would highly recommend this reception hall to anyone getting married. David & Melissa Married October 18, 2015.

paid attention to every detail. These ladies know this business well, and they understand people very well. These are the women you want to work with when planning such an important event in your life. My advice would be to make sure that you meet your milestones during the planning process. The Golf course provides some beautiful grounds for taking some amazing portraits to remember. It is so fun to drive around on the golf course and relax before the big party! The cocktail hour really set the mood right, the bars were setup both inside and outside. There was plenty of room for our guests to sit and enjoy their appetizers and drinks.. I heard that there was a wonderful assortment of different alcohol options... excellent premium liquors. Each Dinner table had a bottle of White and Red for our guests, along with a glass of champagne with a strawberry for our wedding toast. The standard table setup was so Beautiful with the Cream colored linens. The food was absolutely incredible! The chef and Chris worked with us until we found a combination of foods that we loved for our guests. Our Guests left very full and happy! The waitstaff was very friendly to our guests.. no complaints from anyone. The Dessert Table is definitely worth the money.. you get more than what you pay for. If you want to add a Wow Factor to your wedding, then do it. You won't be disappointed. I asked Arboretum to decorate for us with the backdrop.. it was the most impressive, most beautiful backdrop. We received so many compliments on the backdrop.. it costs a little extra, but definitely worth the money. You will be happy. Many of our guests commented on the quality of the work. The wedding cake was absolutely Beautiful and delicious! If they include this with the cost of your event, then take advantage of it.. it is definitely worth it! There are plenty of options. The owner of Arboretum Club was present until the very end of our reception to make sure everything was OK. Thank you so much Arboretum Club for making our Wedding Day such a Fairy Tale to remember!

hout her! The room for our reception was beautiful, we had 200 guests and it fit everyone comfortably. The food was also phenomenal, everyone was raving about it! I would recommend the Arboretum Club to anyone!

s such a pleasure the whole way through. They did a wonderful job accomodating for both Christian and Hindu ceremonies, coordinating every detail, and doing everything they could to make sure the day was flawless. Everything from the service to the food was outstanding. We were happy to have received tons of compliments from the wedding guests as well raving about the food. It was really a dream come true! We would highly recommend The Arboretum Club to any couple and definitely look forward to using them for future events. Thanks again!

s for a discount. The day of our wedding they were very professional and on top of everything! They made the whole day run smoothly. I HIGHLY recommend this venue to anyone looking for an affordable place to be married!

ever let us down. Herman (sorry for the misspelling) stayed with us the entire night to make sure the wedding went smoothly. The outside ceremony worried me a little, there are houses in the back and the parking lot to the side, but I didn't even notice it walking down the isle. Make sure your florist is familiar with the Arboretum, they know exactly how to decorate. I would highly recommend the Arboretum for you special day, the entire staff is wonderful and I was never once disappointed.

asonable price and the beautiful golf course- we were not disappointed. We also had many guests say how great the venue and the food were. We would highly recommend the Arboretum Club!

rned out!

always respectful. I worked most closely with Allie during the planning process and despite her own wedding just a few weeks before my own she always made my feel as though my event was a priority. Chris was our on site coordinator for the day of and somehow was always there when we needed her. I highly recommend The Arboretum Club to anyone who wants a personalized and amazing wedding day!

with our day!

is from a wonderful local bakery and all of the food was delicious. All of my friends and family said they we very happy with the food selections and the extra option of having late night snacks and other amenities was great. All of the little details were in place. The room was very nice and the servers were excellent. Thanks!!

very responsive especially during the planning process. I dreamed of having an outdoor ceremony and the club was perfect for it. The food was great, service and assistance day of was perfect. Can't wait to see the pictures. Highly recommended!

second tasting which was extremely helpful in selecting our entrees and the food the day of the wedding did not disappoint! We extended the bar package by 1 hour and our guests really enjoyed that. Our guests had a great time and we received many compliments. We added the ceiling draping and it really helped dress up the room. We are so happy with our decision to have our ceremony and reception at the Arboretum club.

dden temperature drop we elected an indoor ceremony and they did not disappoint. Our indoor ceremony was PERFECT. It was colorful, intimate, and beyond anything we could have imagined on our own. The reception followed right after - they simply "flipped" the room during cocktail hour, and reopened the doors to a brand new room! Awesome drinks, killer food, and SO ORGANIZED. I would definitely recommend the Arboretum Club to a couple looking to host a wedding between 80-150 people. It is perfect. OH! AND - we had so much fun in our cute little "bride & groom" golf cart after the ceremony where we got to drive out on the course for pictures. Thank you to Allie, Lisa and Chris for making our wedding a perfect memory we will cherish forever!!!!!! :)

and accommodating from day 1. She never made us feel uneasy about coming to her at any time with our questions, and was always very prompt about answering us, along with giving us great advice along the way. We also dealt with Chris Smith, the Director of Sales and Catering, and she was just as amazing. She took the time to listen to what we wanted, and made sure that she followed through. We always felt that our opinions were important at The Arboretum Club, and that was just the planning process! The actual day of the wedding absolutely exceeded our wildest dreams!! We were greeted at the door by Allie, who let us know exactly how the flow of the night would go, which was reassuring, because time seemed to fly by so quickly that day! We were able to take photos with our bridal party, and then Allie handed us the keys to our bridal golf cart where we were whisked away to take photos on their gorgeous course. There are so many beautiful photo opportunities there! When we returned back, Allie gave my husband and I a sneak peak at the reception room before any of our guests entered. I was speechless. The staff did such an absolutely amazing job at decorating. We did the pipe&drape behind our head table with uplighting, along with uplighting in the corners of the room, and the drape in the center of the ceiling. It was gorgeous. Our cake was displayed in the middle of the dance floor, and it came out perfectly-- just as we described it to Allie a few weeks before. The Arboretum has a contract with Lovin Oven (included with the hall package!) and we later found out it was also extremely delicious!! Overall, the night flowed flawlessly and it felt like a dream. I would recommend The Arboretum Club to any future couple!!

me we met was that the front 9 would be free of golfers so we could take our pictures and this was not the case. We had to step off and wait a few times for the golfers to pass. Overall this was a great place for our reception.

with Chris and her staff. Their service staff was wonderful. It is so nice to be the only reception at the venue and have the whole place to yourself. The venue was beautiful and everything was set up as we had discussed. The food was delicious and exactly as we had been served at our tasting - except for the crab cakes. We had mentioned that we thought they were a little small when we ordered them, so the chef made them bigger for our reception!! Wonderful! Such a great value - we will use them again and would gladly recommend them. Thank you Arboretum Club!

well. We put a bags game out there for guests and it really added some fun to the cocktail hour. Overall it was a great value, great service, wonderful food, and an awesome night!

" product, I knew my dad would be hesitant. They immediately assured us that only Pepsi products would be served. I'd like to say I was a pretty easy going bride and they made the process that much easier. Chris is exceptional! My parents live out of state and she made me feel at ease with every concern I had. Between her and Allie, they responded to any email in a timely manner and if they didn't have the answer immediately, they responded as soon as they could. If I could do my wedding all over again, I would book this venue in a heart beat! My husband and I, our families and friends had a fantastic night. The food was amazing and the selection at the bar was top notch. They were also so helpful keeping all of my other vendors in the loop. I cannot say enough good things about this place!!

sband and I were able to bring in many of our own decorations (including live trees we rented) to make the venue look exactly how we wanted it to look. Also, we received many compliments from family and friends on the food and waitstaff at the reception. Minus 1.5 stars for several reasons, all of which had to do with the end of the evening. We planned to have a Kid's Area set up after the cocktail hour. When it was still not set up well after dinner began, we were told that Allie already left for the night. I'm not sure if this is how events here normally go, but we assumed Allie would be there for the whole night. My husband and I ended up having to set up the Kid's Area ourselves. We also ended up setting our favors out ourselves, which we were told would be done for us. We planned to have a cart with hot dogs come out at the end of the night. The hot dogs were served, but not from a cart. They were placed on a table outside of the reception room. Finally, we were told that we could pick up our decorations the Sunday after our wedding. However, at the end of the night, we were told that they were having a wedding on Sunday afternoon and we had to have all of our things out of the Bridal Suite. This is NOT how I wanted to end our wedding. It was very difficult and frustrating to pack everything up at midnight in a wedding dress. They allowed us to pick some things up the next day, but we took most of it with us that night. Overall, the planning phase, beginning, and middle of our event were fantastic; the only hiccups occurred at the end of the night. We strongly recommend that Allie (or someone in a similar management role) stay for the whole event to make sure things end smoothly.

hought up. We visited many potential spaces but nothing was grabbing our eye. As soon as we entered the Arboretum Club's space and met their staff we knew we had found our dream space. There are so many great things I could go on and on but I'll focus on what was important to us. First and foremost: Price. We were on a budget and with a Chicago area wedding in mind that doesn't leave many options. We sat down with the coordinator and after finding ways to cut some costs (skipping on the lobster and having chicken) (choosing less expensive appetizers) (choosing chair covers instead of fancy chairs)...etc.. we found ourselves with a budget we could make happen. Next, We had a guest count of 250 and had been having trouble finding a space that could fit that for a reasonable price. The Arboretum Club totally worked! Next, we wanted good food. This place has AMAZING food! Seriously, guests went up to my mom and complimented her on the food after just the first soup course! They made their food from scratch and it's amazing. Next, we didn't want to deal with a million vendors. This place almost includes it all... food, decor, open bar, space (indoor and outdoor), brides room, nice restrooms, even the wedding cake is included in the cost. The only vendors we brought in were flowers, photo booth, photography/video, and a sound system. We also wanted it to look classy. This place was so great! So many compliments on how beautiful the wedding was and I felt so great about it all! The pictures on the course and around the trees were beautiful. Also, they only have one space here for weddings so yours is the ONLY wedding going on that night. Which is incredible. The staff were amazing. Every time we called or emailed they knew exactly who we were and worked with our specific needs and catered to our wants. It was truly the best wedding experience I could have asked for. Also, remember, the open bar (including beer, wine, and hard alcohol) comes INCLUDED in the per plate price. I can't stress how great that was. Anyway, if you're looking for a beautiful Chicago area wedding for a great price, you better book this place fast! You won't regret it and you'll have people talking and raving about it for years!

really didnt. The outdoor ceremony was beautiful, and everything was all set up when I got there. There is an extra 200 dollar charge for them to set up place cards, card box, centerpieces ect... DO IT! Best 200 dollars ever spent. Thanks ladies for making my day great! My biggest plus about this place, is I got EVERYTHING for a very fair deal. They really don't try to get every dime out of you like a lot of other places!

family compliment the food. They said they had been to a lot of weddings that the food was mediocre but the food here is great! I highly recommend doing a wedding with The Arboretum Club! They did a fabulous job!

was delicious. I was too excited to eat much, so I will have to take my guests at their word. I would recommend them!

te event. It is wonderful to be the only wedding at this site with indoor and outdoor flexibility and we were very impressed with the attentiveness of staff every step of the way. Chris provided great support in planning the event - it ran very smoothly from our indoor ceremony (weather was too chilly to be outdoors), cocktail hour in the restaurant, and the reception which was the night of our lives. We received many compliments about the ease of our event (it was very convenient and welcoming for guests of all ages) and many people said that the food was the best wedding food that they have had (the salmon in particular!). My husband and I weren't looking to obsess over wedding details but rather enjoy the event planning and, more importantly, prepare for a happy life together - and this was a perfect venue for those goals. We had a beautiful event, and now we look forward to returning for meals at the Wild Goose Cafe and hopefully organizing other special events in our lives together at this special place.

ed with Chris and Allie and both were so easy to work with and accommodating and so helpful with every step of the day! We could not have done it without them! The staff even washed our cake toppers and cake cutters and returned them to us before the night ended. We would recommend the Arboretum Club to any and all couples because it really is the perfect location for a dream wedding! THANK YOU!

Chris Snider) was the fact there was only 1 banquet hall and you would be the only event going on at the time (other than possible golf). We wanted to get married in the Fall 2012, and they had our date open (November 24) but they were mostly booked otherwise. Throughout the entire process they answered emails quickly and were extremely accommodating. This made the stress of planning a wedding less stressful. They had a group tasting (multiple events/people) in their banquet room in rotation of trying a variety of foods. It was for 6 people, which was perfect because we went and both sets of parents. We definitely had plenty to eat. And everything we had was AMAZING! Myself and my guests would recommend the Filet Mignon, Chicken Dijon, and the Salmon with Lemon Caper Sauce (what I ordered for myself even)! When I started working with Mike for coordinating the event, this was a sheer delight. He was so easy to work with and very friendly. Even when we had some floral drama he said not to worry that he would make sure they were perfect. And truly I didn't have to worry because I trusted his opinion. The rehearsal ran extremely smooth and efficiently. Mike was a fantastic guide. On the day of the wedding, I didn't not even stress over how anything looked at the venue because I knew it would be perfect. And I couldn't have been more right. With the uplighting (alternating Blue and Pink for the wedding colors) and the head table straight ahead when you're looking in the room. The spandex ivory chair covers with navy blue ties looked absolutely stunning and were all tied perfectly. And yes, I know spandex sounds silly, but they fit the chairs so perfectly they look great! Throughout the night, our guests consistently commented on how wonderful the service was overall! They also said the bartender was extremely quick and efficient and made great drinks (there was only 1 bartender). Also that the food was the best wedding food they've ever had! My matron of honor even commented "I wouldn't even call it 'wedding' food because it was so good." Honestly, I couldn't have higher praise for absolutely everyone associated with the Arboretum Club. It was truly a pleasure working with them and would definitely recommend them to EVERYONE!

will be set up.

d I had a lot of them. The venue itself is very nice and the outdoor cement site and indoor banquet hall/ gallery can accommodate quite a lot of people comfortably. We had a couple hiccups the day of the wedding. One hiccup is that the ceremony was so short we were way ahead of schedule, but Chris took it all in stride and we got the cocktail hour opened up early and had some more time to do bride/groom pictures on the golf course. There also was a bar that should have been n service all night, but was closed after cocktail hour, but again Chris looked into it and gave us a refund for the extra cost of that bar. The only bad thing is that looking at the wedding photos, there wasn't enough room between the wedding party when they were sent down the aisle and there are some key entrances that I don't have pictures of (such as the Best Man and Matron of Honor). Besides that, the staff is great, the food is amazing (I am still getting compliments weeks afterwards on the food!), the venue is beautiful and although it was slightly more expensive then I wanted, it was still a great experience.

we were doing well in the planning process and made sure if we needed anything that he was on top of it. I honestly can't thank them enough. They were affordable, flexible, and had very good customer service!!! I honestly felt like I was their center of attention and their only bride even though I know they had a ton of other weddings and events going on, they always made me feel like I was the most important. It is so hard to find companies that still work like this, but Arboretum is a hidden treasure! Our food was cooked and seasoned perfectly, every guest came up to me and said how did you find this place and this was the first wedding they had been to where they enjoyed the food! Every plate was empty and guests were teasing eachother about stealing more cake and food to go, YES it was that good! The cake was perfect, moist, and sensational favors! But, the cake tasted fantastic right??? Yes it did, and it looked gorgeous! I have had complete strangers compliment me on my cake pictures, that's how good it was. Please use them for your wedding, you will not be disappointed!!! We're going to use them for all of our events from here on out. Thank you Chris and Mike!! The Arboretum club made my wedding day more perfect than I could ever imagine!!!

were both beyond helpful with recommendations for florists, DJ's, Photographers, etc. They really went above and beyond and I cannot thank them enough! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

and 10 venues later my MOH and I found Arboretum. We got a tour of the place and it was stunning even in the earlier of the year when it was a bit cold out. We finally got down to numbers and even though it was a bit out of my budget they helped me in working the place into my budget without losing all the good stuff. I had took my husband to see the place and he was sold it was just wonderful and friendly place. Then the food tasting which was out of this world, so much to choose from soup, salad & entree!! And it all was so good we decided on the Prime Rib & Chicken Piccata. Still to this day our guest talk about the Prime Rib and the Chicken and Rice soup. My wedding could have not been any more perfect and a Huge THANKS! To Mike, Kris & German for making my day the best!

great job accomidating the fact that my Mom was out of state and she was very impressed with Mike who was with us every step of the way!

cheddar broccoli soup, Italian salad, pecan asiago chicken, rosemary roasted red potatoes, and asparagus). The venue is modern and has windows that overlook the golf course. I liked that I was the only wedding, and that there was a separate area for the cocktail hour. The decorated golf cart made for great pictures! During the reception we never ate cake, so I asked for two pieces to take back to the hotel - and they gave me the entire rest of the cake - probably enough for 15 people! I would recommended this venue to anyone. I was very torn between this venue and another that was about $1000 cheaper (but offered a cheaper product as well). I'm very glad that I spent the extra money on a quality place that that listened to exactly what I wanted.

s before the wedding they stepped up and helped us plan and make decisions with kindness and patience. They were flexible as we changed our minds several times. They were there the day of the rehearsal and reception making sure that everything went according to plan. I would recommend this venue for a wedding or important event to all my friends. Thank you!

decision, I was second-guessing my decision. After celebrating our wedding there this month, I am 110% happy with the way everything turned out! We are still receiving positive feedback from family & friends about the room and about the food which was Great! Corn and crab chowder was Excellent! Chris, Tracie, and Mike were AMAZING to work with - especially the week of when everything was crazy. Mike was there to calm me down and go ABOVE and BEYOND in every single way. For that I am very thankful for! Thanks for the most amazing wedding celebration ever!

We were on a very tight budget and they worked with us to bring it down to a price we could afford without losing things we wanted (like an open bar). We got to take pictures on the golf cart and the staff was pleasant, dependable and fantastic to work with, from the owner to the kitchen staff. I highly recommend!

ible, accommodating, friendly, and open to all questions and inquiries They were able to answer and/or fulfill all of them not only to our complete satisfaction, but also within the parameters of the budget. Their staff is courteous and friendly. For a small fee the staff will set everything up to your specifications. We were a bit casual on how we wanted things set out and left much to the discretion of their event planners. All rooms could not have been more beautifully decorated! From the escort card table to the dining room, everything looked spectacular. We were able to deliver all our things the day before, which gave us lots of breathing room the day of the wedding. We could leave our belongings until the next day. When we arrived Sunday to pack up our belongings, it had all been packed, boxed, and was set up on dollies all ready to simply take out to the car! Our reception was scheduled to begin at 5:30; an earlier event ended there at 4 PM. The entire foyer and cocktail area was ready at the appointed hour! All food, from appetizers to the main course, was served hot. Guests commented throughout the night at the quality of the food...delicious! We had made a few changes to the traditional menu, and each detail was covered. Guests with dietary issues were also accommodated discreetly and well. Trays and platters were beautifully displayed. The staff was courteous and friendly throughout the evening.

elpful in planning the "little things" with us such as when we should arrive and making sure they had everything that was needed throughout the day (cake topper, favors, place cards, guest book, etc). On the day of, EVERYONE loved the food and it was all served piping hot which I'd never experienced at a wedding before. The venue looked beautiful for the ceremony as well as the reception. I don't think we could have picked a more perfect setting for our wedding!

client! Chris and Mike are outstanding in their professionalism. Their communications were always clear and timely in response. There was never a question too small or "odd" for them. They listened to our concerns, needs, and requests. They were flexible, accommodating, friendly, and open to all questions and inquiries They were able to answer and/or fulfill all of them not only to our complete satisfaction, but also within the parameters of the budget. Their staff is courteous and friendly. For a small fee the staff will set everything up to your specifications.

y reasonable and even more so if you have your wedding on a Friday or a Sunday. My only "complaint", or rather frustration, was that I repeatedly asked for "no show" dinner entrees to be boxed up so I could take them home or give them to family who would eat them. I don't find that unreasonable considering I paid for them. I was told repeatedly that it would be taken care of. In the end, it wasn't. I just hate wasting food. Or paying for it and having the staff eat it. But overall, I would recommend them to anyone. Even if you get stiffed by no show guests.

town. They did a wonderful job setting everything up and making sure that things went perfectly the day of.

t as we wanted it. They were prompt with answering any questions that you had and were readily available to help. They made sure that the planning before the wedding and the day of the wedding ran smoothly. We could not have asked for a better venue or a better staff to work with!

or patio. The bar has a great video screen that allowed us to play a video montage of photos of us growing up. The package pricing is very reasonable. The appetizers were great! To say Chris Snider, my main contact, is exceptional at her job would be an understatement. She went above and beyond to make sure we were completely comfortable with everything. We worked with Tracie who was very helpful too. My husband and I, as well as our guests, had a wonderful experience at the Arboretum Club for our wedding reception.
