If you’re considering having your wedding here, do it! The staff here is incredible, Karen and Melissa were a pleasure to work with. The catering staff executed dinner perfectly. We got an insane amount of positive comments on the food and the service.
The golf course grounds are beautiful, and make for the perfect back drop for photos.
There is nothing I would change about my experience working with Bloomingdale Golf Club! I would recommend this venue to anyone.
My husband and I loved having our wedding at Bloomingdale Golf Club on 8/10/24! Our coordinator Awilda was prompt, thorough, and organized in all of her communication during the year we spent planning with her. She executed our vision perfectly in setting up the outdoor ceremony, veranda for cocktail hour, and the indoor banquet room for our reception. All of our guests cannot stop raving about how good the food was and how nice the venue was. Bloomingdale's wedding packages included more amenities and details for the price compared to other venues we looked at. Awilda's close attention throughout the process resulted in the wedding of our dreams and minimized our stresses. The banquet manager, Karen, was also wonderful to work with. The venue is beautiful and great people work here. 10/10 can’t recommend enough.
Absolutely 5 stars! I would highly recommend the Bloomingdale Golf Club. Out of the 5 venues I visited, this was the only one where the staff truly worked as a team, and it showed. I was on a budget and tried to piece together some decorations, asking our wedding planner, Awilda, to surprise me. She did an amazing job of blending everything together. I love it there and everyone told me how beautiful it was!! Thank you everyone at BGC!!!!
Any questions?
We had our wedding on 6/1/24 at BGC! The staff and coordinators at Bloomingdale Golf Club are amazing. We worked with Karen in the beginning and I could tell from our first meeting how friendly and passionate she is for what she does! Awilda and Melissa were also super responsive and accommodating during the planning process, answering all my questions and noting everything in a very timely manner which put my mind at such ease that I never had to worry or question that something would be missed. They are truly caring and committed to bringing their bride & grooms’ visions to life.
The venue hall was also set up beautifully and the food was amazing, I heard so many great comments from our guests about the food and how they enjoyed the night!
We had such a wonderful time with our friends and family and we cannot thank the team at BGC enough for their commitment to making our special day so memorable!
I just had my wedding at BGC and could not have asked for a better night. They were very accommodating to last minute adjustments with weather and we felt very supported throughout the entire planning process. Karen and Jeff were amazing from the start and Karen and Awilda did so much to help make the day perfect.
Everything was perfect. Karen and her staff were professional, kind, caring, and overall fantastic to work with. They helped make the day go so smooth!
We just had our wedding at Bloomingdale Golf Club and it was everything we imagined it to be. Awilda and Karen were a HUGE help in keeping my stress levels down and making the venue look beautiful for our day. I can't recommend them enough!
I cannot say enough about Karen and Awilda at Bloomingdale. In my career, I plan events for affluent clients so I had a very high expectation of what the experience should be. From the first meeting, I knew Karen and Awilda were the people for the job. They were always quick to reply and I knew at all times they had everything covered without me having to double check. Our guests could not stop complimenting the food and service at Bloomingdale. They absolutely loved and took advantage of the veranda all night. If I had to do it over again I would 100% every time go back to Bloomingdale. We had our ceremony there as well and it was very accessible for my mil. There was an elevator down to the ground floor and they even drove her to her seat in a cart. The bar was set high and the staff at Bloomingdale cleared it by leaps and bounds.
Everything about this venue was perfect! Beautiful area, beautiful grounds, and the staff is AMAZING! And the FOOD! Catering with Elegance was the best. All of our guests said it was the best meal they’ve ever had at a wedding! Everyone had only great things to say and everything was delicious.
Melissa was so organized and made the whole process so smooth! They set up our decorations for us and packed it up for us that night for us to just pick up in the morning! Can’t even begin to express how grateful we are to come across Bloomingdale Golf Club! Both Karen and Melissa are so friendly and accommodating and were always there for us answering all of our questions. Our wedding day was wonderful and it’s all thanks to them!
The Blooomingdale Golf Club was everything and more for our wedding, if you are looking for a space that gives both outdoors and indoor options this is the place for you! From the beautiful venue to the people that work there that allowed our dreams to come true it was all amazing. We live out of state so choosing a venue from afar can be really hard, they were super accommodating and were able to squeeze us in when we were in town for meetings and seeing the space. We worked closely with Melissa as we prepped for the wedding and we can't give enough thanks to her (she was amazing!). The food was also amazing as they have their own catering right in house and it made planning that much easier. If we could we would relive that day again!
My husband and I had an AMAZING experience with Bloomingdale Golf Club! We worked with Karen and Awilda and they made everything a breeze for us. Karen has been hosting weddings at Bloomingdale for many years and she had great advice for us. Awilda was a gem, answering any email I had within minutes. I would send an email so I wouldn't forget, not expecting her to answer right away, but she would come back almost immediately with a response.
All night long and even after, guests told us how incredible the food was. We had filet mignon as one of the options and we had so many people tell us it was the best steak they had ever had at a wedding! To us, food was very important and we wanted our guests to enjoy their meal. They definitely did! If food is important to you as a couple, make sure to consider Bloomingdale Golf Club.
We would also like to compliment how professional and on top of things the staff were. No matter what our guests threw their way, they were ready and willing to help and we could not be more grateful.
If you are looking for a beautiful venue with lots of light, a beautiful balcony for your guests, amazing food, and all at a very reasonable price, make sure you check out Bloomingdale Golf Club. Best of luck!
We got married here on 06/03/23 and we couldn't recommend it more! Karen, Awilda, and Melissa could not have been more helpful. I had a vision of what we wanted for our big day and they made it come true. They truly are a full service venue and know their stuff. They are fair priced and tell you like it is. We have absolutely no complaints and anyone would be lucky to host their wedding here.
We were so happy with our decision to have our wedding reception at the Bloomingdale Golf Club. Some of the things that sold us: The venue is beautiful and only hosts one event at a time - so you're not sharing entrances or bathrooms with another wedding. They also offer a private wedding party suite to stash away anything important, plus it has a large enough bathroom stall that just about any bridal gown will fit into.
The banquet room has tall vaulted ceilings and large windows that provide a gorgeous view of the golf course. The room is also big enough to comfortably fit up to 200 guests, without encroaching on the dance floor. Their outdoor wrap-around veranda is amazing. The staff was so accommodating in our requests to set up several outdoor activities on the veranda which ended up being were so many guests found themselves throughout the evening. To this day, several of our guests still rave about how much they loved that veranda!
Speaking of the staff, this was our main reason for choosing BCG and Catering with Excellence. During our initial meeting with Karen, she spoke so fondly of the kitchen and event crew, many of whom have been working with them for 10+ years. As fellow service industry members, we appreciated how she valued her team and kept them on through the struggles of the pandemic. That experience shone through as they orchestrated our wedding to perfection. Melissa was our primary contact and she was a delight to work with leading up to the big day. She was organized and insightful while never being pushy in presenting us with our options. She provided us with several logistics sheets that ensured we thought through all the necessary details and could communicate our decisions with the team. She was so so accommodating in accepting all of our personalized décor items + notes ahead of time. The staff absolutely nailed the set up, much to this overthinking bride's relief.
The food was great! They poured awesome drinks! We had an absolute blast and we can't thank Karen, Melissa, and the entire staff enough for their role in making this such a memorable day.
Selecting Bloomingdale Golf Club for our ceremony site and reception venue was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding! Melissa was very responsive and did everything she possibly could to eliminate any stress from wedding planning that I had. I was a very detail oriented bride (emailing Melissa all kinds of random questions) and at times indecisive (changed my mind on the food and add-ons like 100 times), so I cannot thank Karen, Melissa, and the Bloomingdale Golf Club team for their patience and kindness every step of the way! All of our guests truly said that the food (the steaks were huge and cooked to perfection!) was absolutely incredible and the best meal they've had at a wedding by far and I absolutely agree! I seriously cannot rave more about the food and drink package because you truly get the best value for your money. The overall set up of the venue and ceremony space was immaculate - none of our vendors had a single issue setting up and our guests loved the outdoor space during the reception. The pictures on the course turned out BEAUTIFUL and we loved that a member of the BGC team drove our bridal party and us around the golf course for pictures. The BGC team did all the set up and tear down of all of our décor and treated the items with great care. It was very evident that they truly cared about making our wedding day special and I KNOW they will do the same for you! Thank you Melissa, Karen, and the whole BGC team for making our wedding day absolutely incredible!
We found this place because it's walking distance to us, so we wanted convivence, but this place ended up being the venue of our dreams! Everything was so professional, the whole staff made us feel welcomed and helped us with anything we needed. Karen was there every step of the way to help me with all my needs day of. She calmed me down and helped me get through it all! I can't stress enough how much love I have for all of them. My guest still talk about the food, venue, and staff. I wish I could say more, but just know this is the place to go if you want peace of mind for your wedding.
Melissa did a great job making sure we covered every step in the planning and preparation for our wedding. She was even better on our wedding day by helping to make sure everything fell in to place perfectly. We could not be more pleased of the job she did to insure this day was truly memorable.
After leaving our first choice venue, my fiancé and I were scrambling to find a new venue 4 months out. I inquired right away with Bloomingdale Golf Club and just our luck they had our October 8th date available. We booked with them right away and without hesitation, Karen and her amazing team, Melissa and Awilda, took us under their wing and ensured we would be taken care of. I was still reeling with dealing with our last venue so this brought so much relief. Their tasting was superb to figuring out the setup of the room and our theme, I can't even begin to describe how spectacular they were.
The day of our wedding was perfect! From the decorations to communicating with our vendors, BGC knew exactly what to do. I had this vision of what I wanted my wedding day to be and they NAILED IT. NAILED IT! Oh, btw, our guests could not stop raving about the food especially their steak. I still replay the day over and over again.
Karen, Melissa, and Awilda, thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking care of this anxious bride. I was so worried that things wouldn't go as planned but, WOW, the day was exactly what I pictured and so much more. If I had to rate you on a scale of 1-10, I'd give this team and venue 1 million stars. It really was a day to remember and I am always going to remember your amazing hospitality and care. You all really treated us like family! Thank you for everything!
I cannot recommend this venue enough! I even attended a bridal shower here a few months before my wedding and even that event was outstanding! We had about 10 months to plan so I jumped on the venues right away. I started reaching out everywhere since so many places were booked for our date already. Karen’s response to my Knot email was prompt and we were able to meet her that week. After meeting Karen in person it was an easy decision to choose Bloomingdale for our wedding. She did so much research to make the venue so appealing and they delivered. She was willing to help us in any way possible to make our day special for us. Melissa also made everything flawless as well. I loved working with both of them the entire process. The food here is delicious, the grounds are beautiful, the outdoor veranda was perfect, and the staff was amazing. Of course there were some hiccups during the day, which happen. So I’d recommend getting yourself a day of wedding coordinator to help navigate life so you don’t have to as the bride or groom (or the DJ! Who was amazing for jumping in for us when he saw we were stressed!)…but none of that was Bloomingdale’s fault. They were super supportive during the whole process. Aside from that I truly have to say, if you decide on this venue, you won’t be disappointed. All of our guests loved the experience! All the reviews we read before booking were honest and I’m so glad we chose Bloomingdale for our wedding. Other venues didn’t have the personal feel that Karen had during our initial visit. The team here truly made this an experience we will never forget. Can’t wait to go back and enjoy as a guest in the future!
The entire experience with the Bloomingdale Golf Club was absolutely fantastic. The venue was beautiful, the menu was delicious, and the entire process was completely stress-free.
Karen's commitment to quality shines through at every stage, and we knew we would be working with her after our very first meeting. It had snowed 8 inches the night before, and her husband plowed the entire parking lot an hour early just for our meeting. They customized the entire experience based on our unique needs and outside vendors, and worked with us to create a few new menu items that their kitchen absolutely nailed! Even weeks afterward, our friends still talk about how great the food was - try the asiago chicken and pasta!
Overall, I would recommend the BGC to anyone looking to have a fantastic wedding at any price point. We had gotten priced out of another venue, but Karen was more than willing to work with our budget and ended up giving us an absolutely flawless reception.
My husband and I got married this year and we are so happy with Bloomingdale Golf Club. Everything turned out perfect and Karen was so wonderful to work with. We originally had w erythinf planned for a 2020 wedding but had to push it multiple times due to the pandemic. Karen was so understanding and wonderful to work with during all the changes. The food was sooo delicious as well. As a bride, you usually only take a bite or two but I just about finished meal because it was so good. We would definitely recommend this venue to anyone looking to make their wedding extra special!
The venue was absolutely beautiful on the date of our wedding and everyone was extremely helpful! Karen and Melissa are absolutely amazing and truly help make your dream wedding come to life! The food was absolutely amazing and our guests really enjoyed it as well!
Karen and her entire team were nothing short of phenomenal on our wedding day. They are precise, organized, and run a tight ship! I had no doubts the day of that everything would go off without a hitch, and that's exactly what happened. Food was fantastic, ceremony beautiful, and the venue with the veranda was an awesome spot for guests as the night went on. 10/10, I would get married here again!
Easiest decision we made (besides the I do's) having our rescheduled detitanation wedding at Bloomingdale Golf Club !! Karen, Melissa and the entire staff where so amazing the entire process. They where very detail oriented and we didn't have to worry about a thing during the planning processes and the day of.
Fast forward to May 2022, our wedding day went off without any issues. We left them to set up the decorating fully in their hands and the venue was BEAUTIFUL. The food was amazing! We did the duet filet/chicken marsala and everyone said how perfect their food was cooked and tasted! We even had a guest request to have their steak cooked more once they get it (like it well done) and BGC did it for them without hesitation! The guest loved the option to be outside and have plenty of space to be inside. And of course, the drinks where poured to perfection! Would recommend anyone to get married here, you won't regret trucking BGC on your special day!
My husband and I are so glad we had our wedding at Bloomingdale Golf Club. We originally had our date set in 2020 and had to change our date a total of 3 times! Karen was so sweet and helpful during all of the planning and re-planning of our wedding. She was quick to respond to any questions we had and help us make our day exactly what we wanted it to be. Working with Karen and the staff at Bloomingdale Golf Club was a breeze. Our guests loved the food and keep talking about how good it was! Having our wedding at BGC wasn't just another event for them, they treated us like family and look forward to us coming back to just say "Hello" and catch up on life! We are so happy with how our wedding turned out and couldn't have imagined having it anywhere else.
I just had my wedding here on 12/18/21 and let me say that it went above and beyond my expectations! Not only were they absolutely amazing to work with through the many push backs that COVID brought on, but they were so helpful and attentive the night of. Lisa, Karen and her husband are the sweetest people who actually care about their guests. I felt like part of their family, they were so pleasant to work with! Along with this, the food was very good! I will definitely host events there in the future and 100% recommend this place to anyone looking!
Hello All,
I wanted to share a little about our recent wedding at Bloomingdale Golf Club since our experience with the BGC team was excellent! What stood out to us and one of the main reasons we selected BGC as our wedding venue was our experience with Karen H. Karen was so dedicated to our happiness, and generous with her time we cannot thank her enough for all of her help. Karen was so kind to meet or have phone calls with us during evenings to review colors and answer any questions we had, and we never felt rushed, in fact she always made sure to listen to our thoughts, answer all of our questions and it was evident that she was personally invested in brining our vision to life .
We worked with Karen for over 18 months since we postponed one year due to covid, and she was always very responsive, easy to work with, cheerful, and focused on our happiness. From the very first meeting with Karen we had a good feeling about HER. She has a great positive energy and both my wife and I felt like she genuinely cared about us, making our wedding day special, and she delivered the entire way! She is genuinely kind and truly wanted to make our day special. Thank you Karen, for everything!! It was a true pleasure working with you!
The venue space is roomy and flexible and over 180 degrees of the main reception room has huge windows to showcase panoramic views of the beautiful golf course. We had a Fall wedding and it was near perfect weather. Many great photo locations. The first time we visited BGC was back in Jan/Feb 2019 when we were interviewing venues for our reception. Karen was showing us around and we entered the main reception hall and it was snowing. Again, this room has 180 degree views, essentially a 200 foot long wall of glass overlooking the golf course. It was dark outside but I could see clearly the biggest snowflakes falling steadily through the two story tall panoramic windows in the center of the main room. As we stood together and watched the falling snow, the scene was immersive and beautiful because of all the windows, it is hard to describe the feeling but it felt truly special and I was grateful. In that moment, I knew we had found our venue.
I would highly recommend BGC to host your special day. The team was so accommodating with vendors and decorations, and everyone was so kind and happy to help. Go see the venue and talk with Karen or Lisa, you will be glad you did.
Cheers, and best wishes!
Lissy B. I still swooning over this place, Karen and her team, help my journey of wedding planning very easy, very inspiring, and for sure made my day, my best day of my life. Karen was so kind and helpful, if you dont believe in fairytales, she is a proof that will make you dream wedding come true, and my wedding was beyond that. My husband and I, are so thankful, bloomingdale golf club made the wedding process not stressful, and fun. Karen you are the light to everyone you meet. thank you for making our wedding day so magical.
We had our wedding 6/5/21- my husband and I could not have picked a better team and a wedding venue than Bloomingdale Golf Club! I wish I could give them more than 5 stars! From start to finish, Karen made our wedding dreams come true. She and her team are so genuine and such professionals. When we had to postpone our wedding at the start of 2020 because of the pandemic, they were so understanding. They have answered my million questions over the past two years all while doing so with a smile because they truly cared about making our wedding day special. I have had many guests tell me it was the best wedding food they have ever had! If we could do it all over again, we wouldn't change a thing.
We had a wonderful wedding thanks to Bloomingdale Golf Club (BGC). All of our wedding planning happened pre-pandemic, and every step of the way BGC was amazing to work with, But I really want to talk about how wonderful they were to us during the pandemic. Our original wedding date was in March 2020, and less than a week before our day, we had to cancel due to COVID restrictions. As I was freaking out about what to do and how to handle this, one of my biggest worries was how our venue would work with us. I still remember my phone call with Karen and how she was and assured me that one way or another we would figure this out. We decided to book a new date later in the year thinking everything would be back to normal by then. Well, as we all know, things did not go back to normal and we had to cancel again. My husband and I decided to get married with just our parents and grandparents in attendance. Since we could not have a big reception, I was hoping to celebrate with a private dinner somewhere but given the times, that was hard to navigate. I never thought BGC would let us go from a 200+ reception to a 12 person reception, but I contacted them to see what they thought. They were more than willing to accommodate this and worked with us to make our day as special as possible. Although not what we had initially planned, we had an amazing wedding reception at BGC and the perfect wedding day. As we went through all the postponing, rescheduling, canceling, etc. so many people asked me, "what about the venue, how have they been" and my response was always, "they have been amazing." With so much going on it was such a relief to have a venue that was so understanding and kind to work with. The space is beautiful and the team really goes above and beyond to make sure your day is perfect. I don't think we ever heard the word no from them, they were always willing to accommodate everything we asked. When we first booked, we had already met with other venues and none of them made us feel the way Karen and the BGC staff did, from day one they treated us like their friends and seemed as excited as we were for our wedding. I am grateful to have had them as our venue, I truly do not think we would have had the wedding we did without their commitment to making our day as special as possible.
Hands down the best venue to work with! Our wedding was EVERYTHING we dreamed of and more. The entire staff at Bloomingdale Golf Club was a pleasure to work with. They are extremely friendly, accomodating, personalable and made everyone (including our guests) feel like family. We had to post pone our intial September 2020 wedding and got married on May 1st and it was PERFECT. Getting married on the golf hole was great. The night continued inside for the reception and then we brought the dancing outside. Our DJ has SO much fun with us outside and the edison lights outside were breathtaking! I would do it all over again in a heart beat! Karen and Lisa never made me feel silly for the thousands of questions I asked. They set everything up perfectly and took down in such an organized fashion. Book this venue...NOW!
This was the best decision we made on our wedding day. Karen, the venue coordinator, at Bloomingdale is an absolute gem. She made our day so seemless and perfect. She is also one of the most sweet and genuine people you will ever meet. We are so happy that we went with her and her team. After the wedding, guests commented on how great the food was. And we also got many comments on how amazing Lisa was behind the bar!! Everything about our day was perfect thanks to Karen and her dedicated team. We could not have been any happier 💗
We got married in June of 2021 at Bloomingdale Golf Club. The venue is beautiful- inside and out. The high ceilings, possibility for cocktail hour outside on the large veranda, and Karen are what won us over. From the very beginning Karen was very pleasant to work with and always answered our questions and concerns. She ensured everything on our wedding day was set up perfectly. On our wedding day, Karen kept checking in with us to see if everything was okay and if we needed anything. Everything on our wedding day ran smoothly and we are happy that we chose this venue!
We could not have been any more pleased with our experience at Bloomingdale Golf Club. Karen was about to create an entire gluten free menu for our guests and customize our wedding to exactly what we wanted.
Karen and the Bloomingdale Golf Club helped make our wedding the most amazing day of our lives. We didn’t have to worry about anything, Karen made everything as easy and stress-free as possible. The food was great, the space was amazing, and all of our guests had a blast. I couldn’t recommend them enough!
I can not say enough good things about Karen and every single person we met at Bloomingdale Golf Club! They took such amazing care of us and our guests on our wedding day. The venue is gorgeous, the staff wonderful, and the food was amazing! Our guests are still telling us how much fun they had that day and how much they enjoyed their meals. I highly recommend Bloomingdale Golf Club for your wedding or any other event!
Beautiful venue, delicious food, excellent customer service all at a reasonable price. More importantly, managers and staff at Bloomingdale Golf Club were very professional, kind and considerate to us when we had to cancel and then reschedule (twice!) our daughter’s wedding due to Covid. Highly recommend!
As someone in the events industry, I had a very specific list of requirements for a wedding venue: beautiful, responsive, would allow me to personalize and a wonderful guest experience. Karen and Bloomingdale Golf Club did all that and more! From our initial meeting (they offered my hubs a beer) to the planning sessions and tastings, I never worried our day would be anything but perfect. They over delivered! Book your wedding here - you won’t be sorry!
Karen & Lisa were outstanding! Planning a wedding can be very stressful however, they answered every question I had and made our day perfect. I’m so thankful we had our wedding at the BGC. Our guests loved it and the setting was perfect for our November wedding. I can honestly say, our wedding went off without a hitch and that is in part due to Karen & Lisa! If you’re thinking about having your wedding here, do it!
The absolute BEST wedding venue in the western suburbs! We looked at almost 10 other venues before making our way here, and the moment we sat down with Karen and Lisa, toured the gorgeous grounds, and learned about the amanzingly priced food and alcohol packages, we knew this was the place we want to get married! Karen and Lisa were gracious with answering all our questions leading up to the big day and always sent us reminders when a due date was approaching. On the day itself... there are no words. Karen used her impressive vision to bring our dreams come true. Because we planned to have the ceremony outside, we needed a plan B in case the weather didn't cooperate, and of course, it started to downpour 30 minutes before our ceremony. Karen immediately jumped into action and she and her team moved the ceremony inside and helped all our guests get situated and comfortable. They were very kind and accomodating with our dog, who we really wanted to have in the ceremony. We have become part of the Bloomingdale Golf Club family. We HIGHLY recommend the Bloomingdale Golf Club and if given the choice again, we could pick this venue hands down.
We absolutely loved working with Bloomingdale! Karen and her staff are amazing, and they go above and beyond the essentials to make your day as special as possible. You are truly treated like family through the entire planning process.
Karen and Lisa were so helpful and on top of everything for the whole wedding planning process and especially the day of for our wedding on 8/31. They made sure everything flowed seamlessly. The food was great and the venue was beautiful for an outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour!
From the moment my fiancé (now husband) and I met with Karen Helmig at Bloomingdale Golf Club we knew in our hearts this was the wedding venue we had been searching for. We were instantly treated like family and we knew we were not another business deal to them. They were invested in our wedding just as much as we were and I felt so at ease knowing I had this wonderful team behind me because they truly wanted to make my day special. Throughout the entire planning process Karen and Lisa reached out and answered all of my questions and concerns in a timely manner, even when I was emailing them 3-4 times a week as the wedding got closer! I am still so appreciative of their patience and encouragement.
The week of the wedding I was frantically trying to put together my decorations, name cards, guestbook, etc. to drop off for setup and I was driving myself nuts trying to figure out where everything should be set up in the room. I dropped everything off to Karen the day before the wedding and let me tell you, everything was set up even better than I could have imagined. When my husband and I got to the venue a little before cocktail hour began, we got to walk into the room with no one else and it was absolutely stunning. The natural light from the windows, the tables and tablecloths, everything far exceeded my expectations. Karen and Lisa made sure everything was in order and the night only got better from there. The food was served timely and to this day (over a month later) people are still talking about how good the food was. The staff was also extremely friendly and helpful throughout the whole night. We also got many great pictures outside on the grounds as they were beautiful and well kept.
After the wedding BGC packed up all of our decoration and had them neatly placed on a cart the next day for us to pickup which was so helpful since we were on a time crunch. I could go on and on, but I am so thankful we went with BGC. We were able to stay within our budget and throw one heck of a wedding without feeling like we were skimping on anything. Thank you, Lisa and Karen, for helping to make it the best day of our lives!
Our wedding at Bloomingdale Golf Club was nothing short of spectacular! Karen was such a pleasure to work with, she is so accommodating and made everything easy for us. Wedding planning can be so stressful but the owners and staff made it a fun, positive experience with their friendliness and professionalism. Such a beautiful venue inside and out, we couldn't have picked a better place to have our special day!
My wife and I looked at several venues prior to deciding to have our wedding at Bloomingdale. Our decision was made initially because Karen was more than accommodating at our first meeting. Her common response was “oh yeah we can do that” and she delivered every step of the way. We only had a few initial request and other venues wanted to charge us “convenience fees.” Besides the fact that other places wanted to charge us for every request, it also made us feel as though we were just a number in an excel spread sheet. The large outdoor patio setting was a tremendous plus for our cocktail hour. After the contract was signed, Karen continued to help us along the way. I arrived early the day of our wedding and was amazed at the crew and staff transforming the venue into the wedding of our dreams. I felt as though everyone in the staff treated our wedding as though it was their own. They even welcomed our 12-year-old Labrador Retriever, who was also in our ceremony. If you were looking for a venue that will truly help to personalize your wedding and not nickel and dime you for every accommodation then I would strongly consider Bloomingdale. We couldn’t say enough about how glad we both are about our decision to have our wedding at Bloomingdale.
We got married this June at the Bloomindale Golf club and it was a wonderful experience. Lisa and Karen were very accommodating to our needs and went above and beyond to make our vision come true. And the food is wonderful. I can't recommend the Bloomingdale Golf Club enough.
My husband and I got married in November 2018 and could not be more thrilled and impressed with the Bloomingdale Golf Club. Karen immediately makes you feel at home and at ease when first meeting her. Every detail is taken care of so that my husband and I didn't have to worry about anything the day of our wedding. The guests were impressed with the portions for their meals. We requested a chocolate fountain with short notice, and Karen made it happen. I cannot say enough amazing things about the Bloomingdale Golf Club and their staff. They truly made our wedding day extra special. I have also attended other events at the Bloomingdale Golf Club (for example, a fundraising event) and I have never been disappointed.
Karen, Lisa and everyone at Bloomingdale Golf Club were the absolute best. Planning a wedding is so stressful. There are so many things to consider, keep track of, worry about and overthink. As we went through that process the one aspect we did not have to lose sleep over was Bloomingdale. Any question we had was answered in minutes. Every meeting we had was so relaxed and personal. We hung around for 45 mins after one of our meetings just to hang out and chat with Karen and Jeff. They are so warm and welcoming, we felt at ease there immediately. On top of it all, and to just hit home the personal touch, Karen, Jeff and Lisa were there the night of our reception to run the whole night themselves. Our reception could not have gone better thanks to everyone at Bloomingdale Golf Club.
My husband and I are so glad that we had our reception at the Bloomingdale Golf Club. If you want a venue to impress your guests, this is it!
Karen, Jeff, and Lisa are great to work with and made the process of planning our reception easier than we expected. The staff is very professional and responsive.
The food was excellent, and our guests had many compliments about the food and staff. Karen and Jeff were very attentive and worked to ensure our reception ran smoothly.
Our reception went perfectly, and we are still hearing compliments from our family and friends about how much fun they had. We attribute it to the wonderful staff at the Bloomingdale Golf Club, and we can't thank them enough for their help.
Bloomingdale Golf Club is the perfect place to have your wedding. Working with Karen Helmig and her staff was so easy and she worked with us on setting up a private tasting because we were from out of state. She saw that everything met our wishes and was very upfront on cost and accommodations.
The catering company that the Bloomingdale Golf Club has is outstanding, great food and service. The venue is beautiful and has a wonderful picturesque indoor room if you have an indoor wedding like we did due to inclement weather.
While taking first look pictures my button on my tux had come off and Karen sewed it back on in plenty of time for the ceremony. Just an overall great venue with great service and friendly staff. Do not overlook the Bloomingdale Golf Club, it is a great place to have your perfect wedding.
We had a wonderful experience at Bloomingdale! We planned from out of town, and Karen made the planning a breeze for us. Karen was extremely personable and helpful, always responding quickly to e-mails. The staff was wonderful on the day-of, and went the extra mile to help set up our decorations, tables, etc., exactly how we envisioned them. They helped the day run smoothly, keeping us on time while also staying in the background so we could enjoy the day. Karen even made sure our pictures turned out well by adjusting little details around us. Pick up of everything the day after was a breeze - they had everything cleaned, sorted, and laid out for us to pick up. They specifically cleaned and took good care of our champagne flutes and cake knives and made sure to return them to us that same night. The venue was beautiful, we loved the high ceilings and all the natural light as well as the view of the golf course. Our pictures from around the golf course came out nicely, and they lent us a golf cart to get around. The main entrees were average, however, we chose the less expensive options. The appetizers, soup, and sweets table were exceptional. We also used the fruit and cheese platters as a late night snack which worked well. They were beautifully presented, which were more than expected. Overall, we highly recommend this venue, Karen, and her staff!
Karen is a wonderful coordinator at the Bloomingdale Golf Club. From the first day we met her, she handled the details, answered all our questions, explained the different options, and we went into our wedding day feeling very close to her. The Bloomingdale Golf Club is a great wedding venue to have--the room is very large with huge ceiling and great windows to show off the wonderful scenery. Even though it was pretty chilly on my wedding day, people still enjoyed sitting outside on the veranda with the wonderful string lights outside and watch the storm come over. The food was great--I recommend the Prime Rib and Tortellini options! It really felt like Bloomingdale Golf Club made our wedding very personal to us--even though we picked a lot of more standard options, we were able to jazz it up to our style by having a signature drink and having our own flair on the guest book, seating cards, and a few little decorations. Take advantage of the Friday discount if you can! The ONLY flaw was that the cake was not cut as early as I thought it was going to, and I wanted the dancing to get started, especially as my photographer was not staying late--so we decided to jump into our first dance before the cake was served. Overall, we are SO thrilled with our big day. Still waiting to see our pics--can't wait as the scenery was simply beautiful.
I cannot thank Karen Helmig and her team at Bloomingdale Golf Club for helping us bring to life our ideas for our reception! The guest loved their food - appetizers and dinner and all - and the taco bar was AMAZING!!! Our room looked phenomenal and everything was just perfect! From the moment we checked out the venue, my mom and my fiancé (now husband) and I felt so at ease speaking to Karen and her husband Jeff - they answered our questions and went above and beyond in terms of customer service!
Karen was very supportive of my picky creative vision and she just gets me and understood what I was going for :) Karen helped me track down the perfect color for linens (which we learned I picked a complicated color to match lol) and gave suggestions per my vision (really glad I got the chairs bc the room looked so amazing and I got a lot of compliments on how the whole reception looked and went). They set up my room so well with all my details I wanted including the set up of the seating shells!
Everyone was so helpful! Lisa also helped answer all random and piecemeal questions I have so quickly that I was able to make decisions on the fly! Karen made sure that hand off was a breeze and made me feel so comfortable to trust her with all the details so I am relaxed going into the big day!
During pictures, Jeff made sure that the groom and I were well taken care of from leading the photographers, helping with the dress as I get on the carts to making sure we were warm - so accommodating and thoughtful of us since it was cold out and my husband’s leg was bothering him during pictures. He was a trooper staying out with us and braving the cold through out the photo shoot. They are all so amazing to work with and would recommend their team to anyone a hundred times over! We are so happy with everything - thank you for being part of our story!
PERFECT!! My husband and I had our ceremony outside here and reception inside on July 21, 2018. The grounds are beautiful!!! Karen and Lisa from the Golf Club helped us with the planning process. They responded SO quickly and were nothing but kind and helpful! The guests said the food was great and we loved it too! The day went off without a hitch!! It was amazing and we wouldn't change a thing!!
Karen, Jeff, Lisa, and the whole Bloomingdale Golf Club staff did an AMAZING job with our wedding! They were very professional, accommodating, and truly made us feel special on our big day! They treated us like family.
Additionally, we only heard good things from all of our guests about the quality of food and generous portions.
We highly recommend!!
The staff was above helpful on planning our special day. The food was 5 stars. Cleanliness was noticed throughout. Beautifully kept golf course. Great scenery all around. No disapointments at all.
We had a wonderful wedding here. We had great service, lots of help answering questions and coordinating our timeline, and everything ran seamlessly. Absolutely recommend.
Everything was beautiful and perfect! Karen and Jeff had everything under control and there was not a worry in the world for us on that day. The venue was amazing, the staff was great, and the food was spectacular. Leading up to the event Karen was very approachable and answered any questions we had and helped with any concerns. She played a big hand in helping our day turn out wonderful!!
We planned our wedding in a very short amount of time (my husband is Military). The BGC went above and beyond to help us get everything set as quickly and easily as possible!
We couldn't be happier with our venue choice. The ceremony set up was beautiful and when we walked into the room for the reception we were floored but how nicely set up it was. Karen and Jeff were beyond professional and during both our initial meeting and our detail meeting Karen made sure she understood exactly what my fiance and I were looking for and expecting for our big day. The biggest compliment we received from our guests beside the overall ambiance of the place was how great the food tasted. They truly made our day special.
Bloomingdale Golf Club gave us a beautiful wedding day! Karen and Lisa were both extremely helpful throughout the entire planning process and helped us so much. They were quick to respond to all emails/phone calls and helped us make special dietary accommodations for family members that needed gluten-free meals. (such a huge relief!) I trusted them completely to help coordinate with the florist, DJ and for all decorations for day-of plans. I also love the bakery they partner with (Central Continental Bakery) Our wedding cake was so delicious. The venue is beautiful, reasonably priced, and creates a gorgeous wedding atmosphere.
Initial meeting went really well, but when we sat down to meet 3 months before my big day LOTS of things changed from what I was initially told. Was told by Karen from the beginning that the whole day was mine and she knew from Day 1 that I was planning on having my ceremony there as well as my reception, only to find out that 3 months before my big day that there was a golf outing scheduled on my wedding day ( I signed my contract 1.5 years prior to this) and that "I could have my ceremony there, but it would be inconvenience to the golfers twice... once for the ceremony and then again for pictures." Was so upset I almost changed my ENTIRE venue, to not have to deal with being told one thing and then the next time something different. Karen was hard to get a hold of, even made an appointment to make my final payment and she didn't up. Had to pay her husband Jeff, who was extremely delightful. Lisa was very thoughtful when it came to the execution. If I would have known what craziness I would have been dealing with, with Karen, I would NOT have gone with Bloomingdale Golf Club. Overall, the night did run smoothly, but after my 3 months to the day meeting, I made my husband deal with Karen because I was to the point of tears if something else changed because I felt like all she wanted to do was change and dictate things.
Response from the Vendor on 08/09/2018
Jill, Nothing had changed from the day you finalized your date with us until the night of your wedding. I'm very sorry that you misunderstood "the day is yours" comment. We cannot close the golf course for the entire afternoon for you to ta...
ke pictures while your guests wait for cocktail hour to begin for 4 - 5 hours. We host golf outings almost every Saturday and they do not conflict with the ceremonies or picture taking for our weddings.
I answer almost every email within 24 hours and final payment needs to be made AFTER final counts have been received. I wish you nothing but the best in the future. Karen
Bloomingdale Golf Club is gorgeous inside and out! Karen and her staff though are truly what makes it amazing. Through the full 15 months of planning she was by our side the entire time helping us every step of the way. On the day of, she made our dream into a reality. The room was decorated beautifully, the food was incredible, and the service was above and beyond. If you are a bride looking for an amazing family owned venue that shows their passion in everything they do, this is the place for you! Thank you Karen for making our dream become a reality :)

My now husband and I just had our wedding reception there on Saturday 10/14. It was absolutely amazing. Many guests complimented the food and the service. It was top notch. Karen and Lisa I dealt with the most during the planning process and they were always there to answer questions and help me through it. The day of my wedding I was blown away with how beautiful the room was set up. They did such a great job and I would recommend them to anyone. Genuinely nice people and very helpful. I loved my experience with them!
This venue has a beautiful room with a huge arched window looking out onto beautiful landscaping and pond. There are plenty of evergreens during the Fall/Winter seasons, so it always looks beautiful.
The staff is very accommodating. Our requests were met, or alternative solutions suggested. Here there is a warm, family feel, as it is family run. The personal touch was evident from the moment we walked in the door and we booked the hall that same day. There aren't very many places like this, especially if you want an affordable venue that doesn't allow more than one wedding per date. Much of the personal feeling emanates from Karen Helmig who coordinates events for BGC. We highly recommend.
We had a perfect wedding day and overall experience at Bloomingdale Golf Club! The venue is gorgeous and the service was outstanding. We looked at a couple other venues, but we loved how attentive and kind Karen and Jeff were. We could tell they truly cared about all the details of our wedding and they made us feel like family. Karen was very responsive to all of our questions and she ensured that everything came together perfectly. We frequently communicated with her and we sat down with her for a few hours a couple months before the wedding to review table seating, colors, etc. It was very thorough like we had our own wedding planner! We also loved how they only host one wedding at a time so we had the place to ourselves. Karen and Jeff were there all night making sure everything went as planned. Our guests also raved about the beautiful venue and delicious food! I highly recommend Bloomingdale Golf Club for any event!
My husband was unable to view the venue when we first picked it out but suffice it to say he was really impressed by the set up on a follow up visit.
We had our wedding ceremony outside and managed some beautiful photos on the course as the sun was setting. The reception itself was perfect; the food, service, reception hall and staff were all top notch and it was a night that everyone enjoyed, especially my husband's family and friends who traveled from Ireland and the UK to join us.
I would definitely recommend the Bloomingdale Golf Club for any couple looking for a wedding venue. A big thank you is also well deserved for Karen and Jeff who were terrific to work with helping make our big day so personal and unique.
My daughters wedding was perfect. From the time we signed on and throughout the reception Karen was just the best. We got so many compliments on the venue, food, decor, etc. Everyone there was so helpful and friendly. What a great night. We would highly recommend Bloomingdale Golf Clib to all couples looking for the perfect wedding venue.
We couldn't have chosen a better place than Bloomingdale Golf Club! The service was absolutely spectacular - we could not be more impressed! And of course the venue is unbelievably beautiful. Everything went smooth and perfect - Karen is amazing and thoughtful with all of your details. My family's heart was full to see all of our traditions in place, all thanks to you! Can't wait to see my wedding photos to share!!!!
We had a great experience at Bloomingdale for our September 2017 wedding. Karen and Lisa were easy to work with and responsive throughout the planning process and really helped us think through the all the important details. Everything ran very smoothly the day of, the room was set up beautifully, and the food and service were excellent.
My Husband and I went to check out Bloomingdale golf club first. We fell in love with the venue as soon as we stepped into the door way. The owners of the venue were kind, generous and outgoing. We did look at another venue after that but my heart was set on the Bloomingdale golf club. Through our entire year of planning Karen and Lisa were most of help to me and my husband. Throughout our ceremony and reception both Lisa and Karen were very helpful with everything. You don't need a wedding planner, you have them! Great experience ever! I would recommend the Bloomingdale golf club for any event.
We were very impressed with Karen and her staff. They truly made our small, but elegant second wedding special for us. Everyone who attended was pelased with the food and the location and commented on how lucky we were to ahve found the perfect place. We really couldn't have asked for a better experience.
"This is an absolutely beautiful venue!" "Everything is wonderful!" "My dinner was delicious!"- The three most said quotes by our guests at our wedding.
This place has it all! We checked out so many venues and none stood out quite like Bloomingdale Golf Club. As soon as we walked in and looked around we knew that this was the place we wanted to have our wedding.
Karen is probably the most accomodating, friendliest, and detail oriented person I've ever met. She loves her job and wants nothing more than to give you the wedding of your dreams! Almost all of our other vendors have worked with Karen before and all had great things to say!
You won't find this type of service anywhere else! Take a visit and check out the space. Meet with Karen and you'll know immediately you're in good hands.
My husband and I are so happy to have had our special day there. Nothing went wrong. It was everything we wanted! Karen and her staff did an amazing job. We will never forget our venue or Karen!
