Naperville Country Club

nue. The food was great and the room was setup well. However, they remodeled the cocktail hour area and did not tell us, so the room ended up with a different feel than I thought it was going to have, so I wasn't as thrilled with how my decor turned out in that space. The fireplace is cozy in that area though and it fit everyone comfortably. The best part of booking here was that they were very flexible with changes to our day as we went through the planning process since we booked further out and we never felt bad about having a smaller wedding in the end.

ple, which was perfect for us. We felt that it was far and away the best value of all the options we considered, with no minimums and a broad range of meal options. A 5 course chicken dish (appetizers, soup, salad, intermezzo, and main course) with a comprehensive bar package of house liquors start around $60 a person. This price included rental of the facility, white linens, mirrors and votives on the tables, so it was very inclusive! The venue itself is very picturesque, and the ballroom has a private patio (complete with fire pit and the option of s’mores!) overlooking the golf courses. When we arrived after the ceremony, we were escorted around the golf course on a golf cart to take pictures at a scenic bridge while the sun was setting. The grounds are very well maintained and parking is ample for guests. In addition to the main ballroom, there is a large side room and a private lobby with a fireplace which are perfect for the cocktail hour. Like most country club venues, we booked the reception prior to tasting the food, which made me a little nervous. However, all menu options we sampled at our tasting were incredible, and we were not disappointed on the day of the wedding either. Their chicken and wild rice soup was my personal favorite! They were accommodating for dietary restrictions and modified one of their vegetarian options to be vegan and gluten free, which made meal planning for our guests much easier. We had 3 guests with severe peanut allergies and they were very diligent to keep the entire reception peanut-free, and let us know well in advance about any possible contaminants when we selected the menu. Additionally- the advice I received most often before the wedding itself was to make sure I ate food during the day of the wedding. The banquet manager met us at a side door after we took pictures on the golf course, with our signature cocktail and a serving of appetizers so we could snack before we greeted guests. Additionally, we were served first for every course and had plenty of time to eat, which was wonderful!!! Working with Dana (Director of Banquets and Member Events) was easy and stress-free! She is extremely detail oriented, and always followed up with emails after all conversations either in person or on the phone. We were allowed to start bringing items to the venue starting Tuesday the week of the wedding, which was convenient. At the end of the night, her staff had all the decor packed quickly and it was loaded in a car just as the last shuttle from the hotel arrived, so none of the guests needed to stay behind to help pick up. I would highly recommend both Dana Robinson and Naperville Country club for any Chicagoland brides and grooms planning their wedding. Selecting this venue was one of the best decisions we made during the wedding planning process and I would do it again in a heartbeat!

club's party planner was not the best at returning emails and often seemed inconvienanced by me. I felt that after she had received my final payment for the reception she was "done" with me. However, the reception itself went off without a hitch and I received many compliments on the food, drinks, and gorgeous view of the golf course.

o make sure we had the best wedding possible. The banquet room is perfect for weddings and there is a very large space in front that has enough room to hold cocktail hour without feeling cramped. We even got to take golf carts out on to the course with our photographer to get some awesome pictures. I highly recommend NCC and loved having my wedding there!
