Oak Brook Manor

for our big day. With me having my wedding in my hometown Chicago/Oak Brook and being an out of town couple, the staff kept us at ease on making sure our wedding would be perfect & it was just that! I would recommend the Oak Brook Bath & Tennis Club to all and will keep them in mind for any future events!

we had someone from the venue work with us and made sure that everything ran smoothly. The catering team was absolutely amazing as well! Carolyn was amazing to work with along with everyone in their team. Everyone kept saying that the wedding was like a fairytale. We can’t thank OBBT enough!

tions on layout and decor, and coordinating with all of the vendors on the big day. The layout made for the best experience for every guest with a picturesque formal dining room for dinner, a separate room for our photo booth/snacks, an outdoor area for the dance floor and cocktail hour, and another area as a rain contingency. Guests that don’t love dancing were still able to be outside near the dance floor and feel like they were a part of the party. To top it off, there were three bars making it super easy and fast for guests to get a drink, and there was a beautiful pond in the back for family photos. Amazing location, super private, and stunning reception hall for any event!

e. Our point of contact, Marianne, changed our date with no hesitation and completely understood. We planned our wedding from out of town and Marianne was great to work with from afar. Her communication was always prompt and precise, answering all questions and leaving nothing to question. Our day-of representative worked with our coordinator to ensure all needs were met. The venue required us to utilize their catering service, and both these vendors complimented each other very well. The venue itself is beautiful. We had 10 tables of 8 people in the main space and it filled out quite nicely. The venue was able to accommodate many more people than our 80, but the venue never looked too large for us. The venue is situated at the end of a long drive, offering the perfect amount of wooded ruggedness that we wanted. While this is a functioning club house, all services were stopped for our ceremony. During our wedding day, the weather was unfavorable leading up to our ceremony. We had to shift our ceremony to the covered patio adjacent to the open-air patio. The venue did a great job helping us make this decision and ensured things would still run smoothly. For those looking to have their ceremony on the grassy area, it is on a slight rake and slippery when wet. We were concerned with elderly guests injuring themselves, so we opted for the covered patio due to rain. The venue offers a bridal suite for use during the event, but it is on the smaller side. There was enough room to seat 4 people, but it felt a bit tight. Nonetheless, it was still a great place to store belongings and take a break when needed. Our one problem area was access to the venue prior to the event. They opened the venue 30 minutes before start time and did not allow for on-site pictures before the 30 minute block. If you’re planning to do a first look or pre-event photos here, the 30 minute window is not ideal. In all, we have nothing but great things to say about the venue and staff. We would highly recommend their services!

dance whenever needed. The venue is gorgeous on its own, but with the tables and florist it was magical. The pond and fountain in the back are a fantastic backdrop for photos too! The staff did a great job setting out the decor and even got pretty elaborate setting up the desert tables! We could not have asked for a better way to celebrate and would recommend!

e matter of hours. Marianne and Jordan were present every step of the way during our planning process and helped to make our dream day come to fruition.

ff is exceptional. They were helpful and positive every step of the way. The vendors on their list are top notch and provide quality services. Everything ran smoothly because of the great rapport OBBT has with its vendors. Having vendors that are familiar and comfortable with the venue proved to be so important. The whole day was seamlessly perfect and I credit OBBT. As a side note, I was a 3x rescheduled Covid bride and they were supportive and accommodating throughout the whole process. Our original date was for the summer, but we finally made it happen in December. It was the best circumstance of all! The holiday decorations and the evening setting with the stringed lights provided a romantic ambiance I never imagined. We can't thank OBBT enough!

every step of the way. They were patient and helpful, and very good at communicating everything to us. The venue is absolutely stunning! We loved the indoor-outdoor flow. The grounds and the pond are beautiful. It is a hidden gem in Oak Brook and we got so many compliments from our guests. I highly recommend using Oak Brook Bath and Tennis for your event!

ponement, they were prompt to reply and always so kind. When COVID hit, they showed up in the most honorable way, helping us navigate that as a true team. I had heard horror stories from friends in similar predicaments while I only had praise to sing for our venue team. Marianne is such a fantastic person and point of contact, and Lee, equally amazing, was on site for our wedding day. Both of these women went above and beyond to make it a truly perfect day where we can really say that not a single thing went wrong. There are not enough superlatives to describe our experience with OBBTC. We would, without a doubt, give our highest recommendations to Oak Brook Bath & Tennis Club.

nderstated, nestled in the middle of the woods. From beginning to end, they were helpful, responsive, and professional. The venue is stunning. We loved the tall ceiling with chandeliers along with the large windows. The venue does not need too much decor, and they have amazing flowers and landscaping. We loved that we were the only wedding on our night. Marianne and her team were so helpful with rescheduling due to covid and they have great communication with Tasty Catering which is makes it so easy. Everyone talked about how beautiful and comfortable the venue was for our amount of guests (111). The only minor issue we had was people playing tennis during our ceremony which was outside under the covered veranda. Other than that, it was absolutely perfect and I highly recommend this venue. Thank you Marianne for making our day so wonderful and felt so special. It was beautiful.

ess, and the venue is beautiful. It’s a great option for both indoor and outdoor weddings, with a great lakeside ceremony space.

ed my many questions with patience. The venue is beautiful with large windows that overlook magnificently landscaped grounds. We enjoyed appetizers on the roomy patio and had a delicious brunch in the room overlooked by the beautiful fireplace. I couldn't be happier with how it turned out & I highly recommend this venue for any event large or small.

es are sure to be gorgeous! All the landscaping is beautiful. Also all the guests raved about the food and appetizers:)

with keeping us updated during all the COVID. All our guests loved this venue and I am still getting compliments on how beautiful the venue was. This place is perfect!

r job and the clients that book there, and it really shows. Everything went as perfect and i could have imagined.

nal plans due to Covid. We would love to plan a future event at OBBT and continue to recommend it to friends!

nis Club due to COVID-19. Marianne was understanding, and a supportive. We are very pleased and highly recommend this venue. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous with a fantastic lay out.

even offered a refund on our deposit. They allowed us to make this change back in May even though our wedding was in September. We chose to reschedule for next summer. Marianne has been so kind and willing to help us to figure out what would work best for us. I felt compelled to write a review now, since we would have been getting married soon and I think it is important to let everyone know how great OBBT staff has been to work through this difficult time.

d how good the caterer was and their staff. I would definitely have another event there!

ring was just as helpful!The venue is just beautiful and the food and service were outstanding. We received so many compliments from our guests. Wish I had a reason to host another event there again!

ples forced with a difficult decision to move forward with our wedding with a minimal guest list and all the COVID restrictions or to postpone. Oak Brook Bath and Tennis kept us updated with the most recent information and COVID restrictions. They also allowed us the freedom to make the decision to move forward with our wedding at our current date, a future date, or proceed with a cancellation and full refund. They were more than understanding during the pandemic situation and took the stress off of us as a couple. We did end up canceling our wedding for August of 2020 at Oak Brook Bath and Tennis due to COVID-19, but would highly recommend this venue and event team to future couples looking for a beautiful wedding venue! Thank you!

ing is also in great shape. Other indoor "attractions" are the fireplace, beautiful strung lights around the room and very elegant light fixtures. For the outside - the back fountain, patio, veranda and front of the building are elegant, beautiful and well maintained. It is perfect for any season and special occasion. It was a dream location for me and I had a splendid experience working with Marianne. Who is so kind, hardworking and graceful! The staff there is always quick to respond and patient to listen and work through things with you. They truly are the cherry on top of the experience. I would recommend this location.

arger and had the opportunity to host more than one wedding at a time. We really felt special and like we "owned the place" on our big day! Marianne and Jordan were there every step of the way and we could not be more grateful to them! The decor was a big stress of mine and they helped us in every way. Leigh wrote on a post-it note on every piece of decor so they knew every detail of how we wanted it setup. Marianne even got the fountain to stay on through our date! Every aspect of the day was amazing! All the preferred vendors (Tasty Catering & A Posh Production) worked seamlessly with OBBT and everything went so well! We had 163 guests and it fit the space well. The updated bars and flooring was an amazing surprise since it wasn't like this when we booked the venue. BEST VENUE AND BEST DAY EVER!!!!

ur wedding at another close by venue, but our plans fell through. We were bummed at the time, but it was an absolute blessing in disguise because then we found OBBT and fell way more in LOVE than we had even been with our original venue!!! I shudder to think of us missing out on this venue if our first hadn’t fallen through!! This venue was WAY better than any other we had seen in all ways - you have the entire space for just your party, they are so accommodating and helpful in staying within budget (very hard to find with other venues), the surrounding areas and venue itself are stunning, they are responsive and helpful with all parts of the process, etc etc I could go on and on. We were DIYing a part of the table decor that actually ended up being a little more time consuming than we had planned and all team members from OBBT on site that day completely took over and completed all of it with no questions asked. It was as if we had a fancy day of coordinator!! They made sure everything ran smoothly and also looked so genuinely happy for us throughout the day. Feels like a fun family there to help you :) l know we will end up missing someone and I apologize, but special shout outs to Marianne, Jordan, and Lauren for everything!!!! Also shout out to a woman whose name I cannot recall (so sorry!!) who helped with our rehearsal and was so sweet!! Thank you for making our day extra special!!!

oking for a beautiful event space with a spectacular view and want the best service possible, this is your venue!

The small lake behind it and the flowers around the venue are beautiful. The day of the wedding Lee was extremely helpful and kind. I highly recommend this venue. Thank you again! Also, Marianne is great to work with!

our family and friends. The building and grounds were awesome. Gorgeous views in the daytime and absolutely magical at night. The service was outstanding. Each and every staff member smiling and professional from beginning to end. You will not be disappointed!

d to me right away, and was accommodating and kind each time we spoke. Jordan helped with the day of. She set up our decorations, and was SUPER helpful all around!

the entire planning process and so quick to respond. Nick and I had the most magical and perfect wedding day, and we loved everything about Oak Brook Bath and Tennis! Our guests still cannot stop raving about how gorgeous the venue was. And we obviously feel the same! Plus everything ran so seamlessly. We are so so glad we chose to have our reception there with you all.

eas and many different options for our ceremony and reception. The space was updated in the year of our wedding planning. The bars are beautiful exposed brick and the pre-function room was just so so beautiful for people to hang out in during the reception and cocktail hour. Jordan was so awesome on the actual day taking care of us, setting up our space and making sure all the details we missed were taken care of. This place is perfect!

s why we chose it) was the multiple options for ceremony location. You could have it near the pond, on the patio overlooking the pond, or under the covered veranda where we ended up having ours due to the rain, or inside for plan D. We primarily communicated with Marianne who was always quick to respond with any questions we may have, however we did also work with Jordan on our wedding day who was great and easy to communicate with on the day when determining the final ceremony location! Both were easy and flexible to work with. OBBT has done so many renovations with the flooring and updating the bar it was absolutely beautiful! The venue works only with Tasty catering which works out great because they know the venue so well and we’re able to answer any questions we had! Could not recommend a better place for a wedding!

the patio which overlooks the beautiful pond. The inside is amazing with a huge brick fireplace and gorgeous chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. I got so many compliments after my wedding day at this venue. It was truly a dream wedding. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone in the process of planing a wedding or special event!

as incredibly helpful and responsive. Jordan even came to the venue on the morning of the reception (the same day as her graduation party!) to receive items for the reception later in the day. The venue was stunning and we got so many compliments on the space. The setup of the decor was phenomenal (even better than I imagined!) and everything ran so smoothly the night of the reception. Even though there was a bit of misting rain during cocktail hour, people were able to mingle inside without feeling crowded. When the skies cleared, people were outside on the patio and lawn as well as inside, which was exactly what we had imagined. When I saw pictures of Oak Brook while we were in the beginning stages of planning, I fell absolutely in love. I'm happy to say that Oak Brook Bath & Tennis Club exceeded all of my expectations and made our wedding day a dream come true.

s. We had both our ceremony and reception at the venue and both the indoor and outdoor set up options are gorgeous. Marianne and Jordan were so nice and helpful from the time I went to tour the space until the wedding day. They always got back to us quickly with any questions/requests we had. I couldn't recommend this venue enough. We loved it.

they flowed together perfectly and our guests were able to transition from ceremony to reception with ease. Marianne and her team were a dream to work with :) It is a beautiful place to get married!

beautiful and fun the reception was. Would highly recommend having you wedding here!

view from the reception room make the venue feel like you're in the middle of the woods. We even had some deer in the background before our ceremony. I couldn't imagine getting married anywhere else.

ndows makes for the perfect spot to have the best of both worlds!! The patio is lined with the most beautiful flowers, and the fountain and the private space for sweets made our day ideal. The coordinators at OBBT (Marianne and Jordan) are extremely easy to work with and helped make our day very special. I wouldn't change a thing!

to explore all of our options before making our decision. We looked at 4 other places, and we kept comparing them all to OBBTC. My only concern with OBBTC was the size of the inside. I couldn’t envision it with all the tables and chairs setup. I called Marianne (she is wonderful) to see if she would let us see how it looked setup for a wedding. She said that it was no problem at all, and that they had a wedding scheduled that weekend. She let us stop by before the guest arrived to take a look at how it was setup. After that, we were 100% sold on the place. We invited 150 guest, with about 130 in attendance the day of. There was more than enough room. We had the ceremony outside down by the pond, social hour/dancing outside on the patio, and dinner/reception inside. There was plenty of room for everything and everyone, with space to spare. It is a very spacious venue. OBBTC offered a different type of uniqueness and privacy aspect that we wanted for our wedding. The staff is absolutely great. Everyone that I came in contact with at OBBTC was extremely helpful, and were willing to assist with whatever we needed. I honestly did not stress at all about the wedding knowing that they had it covered. Marianne was an absolute pleasure to work with from day one. She is very responsive, and offered to assist in any way that she could. She answered the many questions that I had. The day of person at the venue was Jordan, and she was on top of everything, and was a pleasure to work with as well. She made sure that I had everything that I needed. I did not have to worry about anything. Not one thing. Once I gave them the contact information for all of the other vendors, they called to let them know what time to arrive and to make sure they had everything they needed. I never once had to worry about coordinating arrival times of the vendors. If we had to do it all over again, we would without a doubt still go with OBBTC. There is absolutely nothing I would change about my wedding or the venue. I would 100% recommend looking at Oak Brook Bath and Tennis Club as a wedding venue option. It is a great venue with outdoor/indoor options, depending on your preference. We have received many compliments on how beautiful our wedding was, and we have OBBTC to thank for that. Thank you to the entire OBBTC team for making our day special. It is a day that we will always remember.

reeze. She knew all the right questions to ask when meeting with decor and DJ vendors and made sure we were always taken care of. The grounds were also beautiful! The new renovations they have done in the past year have really made this venue gorgeous. We received so many compliments on how great everything looked. Wish we could relive our wedding weekend all over again!

celebrate it

ue. My wedding was everything I ever wanted and dreamed of thanks to the amazing people who helped make our day so special for us.
