We had a great experience at Elmcrest. Everything went perfectly thanks to the staff and specifically Nicole. She made everything happen so we did not have to worry about anything. It was a beautiful setting. Could not have asked for more!

Elmcrest was the perfect location for my wedding this past summer! Every.single person was awesome to work with! Shoutout to Taylor! Taylor went over and above to make sure we were getting everything we needed/wanted on our special day. She and the staff over exceeded our expectations! I even sprung on her 5 days before my wedding we had booked a horse and carriage last minute! I highly recommend this venue over and over again!

My husband and I hosted a wedding reception for our son and daughter-in-law at Elmcrest Country Club. We were extremely pleased from inception to completion. Nicole, our event coordinator worked with us to make sure our needs were met efficiently and promptly. The menu taste-testing was helpful, and we were extremely pleased the food quality was not compromised when cooking it large scale. We received many compliments from our guests regarding the meal, venue, and service. However, most importantly, our son and daughter-in-law were very happy how the evening unfolded and made their special day a happy memory.

Elmcrest was the perfect venue for our wedding! Nicole listened to our requests (even the last minute ones) and completed them exactly as we wanted. The food was wonderful and the staff was very friendly and attentive. It was a very positive experience and would I recommend Elmcrest to anyone!

Elmcrest Country Club was the perfect location for our wedding reception last fall. We visited and fell in love with the space with separate areas for our cocktail hour and reception, and outside space for people to mingle on our beautiful day. The staff at Elmcrest was highly professional and made the planning process a very smooth one. We received so many compliments from our guests on how great the food was and that the service was top notch. We are SO happy with our decision to have our reception at Elmcrest and would highly recommend it to anyone considering this venue.

Elmcrest Country Club staff is both highly professional and Midwestern nice. They were extremely prepared and thoroughly accommodating during the planning and pre-ceremony/reception preparation. The new outdoor venue for the ceremony was beautiful. The reception food was excellently prepared by Chef and his staff. And the entire event was very reasonably priced given the venue, food and excellent service. We cannot recommend it highly enough.
