Silver Lake Country Club

en they were extremely organized and set up the reception exactly how we envisioned. Their staff and bartenders the night of were also awesome-several of our guests also complemented them! We chose family style for the food and it came out just as hot and delicious as it did at the tasting. We would highly recommend Silver Lakes to any bride and groom!

g on the day of, I didn't have to worry about anything! The food was AMAZING! I got so many complements from guests weeks after about how good the food was! The venue itself is just so pretty and we got so many amazing photos . After having to postpone for a year, it was definitely worth the wait! I am so happy that we went with Silver Lake!!

r views with an indoor reception tucked away in a cute garden, and Silver Lake delivered just that. Also, the food is PHENOMENAL! My guests still call to say how good the filet mignon and champagne chicken was! Even the rolls and soup impressed my guests. Amy and Janene are truly wonderful people to work with, and their organization and dedication to their role as event coordinators made the wedding planning process so much smoother, even through the multiple changes due to COVID. Their years of experience show in the care they take during the event planning process and the commitment to making your day everything you dreamed of. Silver Lake makes planning simple by offering customizable packages without any hidden fees or taxes, like an all-inclusive resort. Their large staff are professional and handle everything as instructed. I could not have been happier to have chosen Silver Lake for my day!

f. All of our guests gushed over the beautiful garden. The food is spectacular! Even though we only did plated vs family style, it was still so much food! My husband and I couldn't eat everything; our stomachs ran out of room. We loved having our wedding there.

garden which is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! We received SO many compliments from guests about how great everything looked inside and out. They also commented that the servers and bartenders provided excellent service. On top of the wonderful service, everyone raved about the food! I recommend Silver Lake Country Club to anyone looking to have a great experience and the most amazing wedding day. You will no regret booking with them!

nd appetizers afterwards! I can't stress enough how wonderful we were treated by Amy and everyone else at Silver Lake. They were so accommodating to all our wants and needs and helped our day turn out absolutely perfect. If you choose this venue you will be in good hands and definitely won't regret it :)

special. They walk you through everything step by step and are more than willing to make you weddding vision happen in any way they can. Not one single disappointment. Waitstaff, bartenders, wedding coordinators and management made you feel like every time you stepped foot in the building, it was already your wedding day. We loved that they set up our room for us the day of the wedding and placed everything so perfectly. They allowed us to pick up all of our items the day after and did not miss one detail. I cannot day enough good things about them. LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this venue, and my guests did as well!

ame page. I would recommend all interested in an intimate wedding setting to consider silver lake.

every time we made an unannounced visit in the months prior to the wedding. She was always available by phone and email. She was so personal to us I felt like she was my personal wedding planner. She had great ideas and tips but also was open to trying new things. She made us really feel comfortable because she clearly knew what she was doing. I didn’t have to worry about a thing on my wedding day! She was checking in on myself and my husband through out the day. At one point I felt like my curls were falling out and she went and found a curling iron for me to use. My guests said it was one of the best weddings they had been to. Their only complaint was that there was to much food! I highly recommend the filet and chicken plated meal. Silver lake was really fantastic to us. I will definitely look back at them when it’s time for a baby shower!

d. They asked guests how they wanted their steak cooked which surprised many seeing their were around 150 people to please. It was a lovely day. The grounds were beautiful and the gardens made for picture perfect photos. Highly recommend.

ver expected. Wish we could have a wedding once a year. Definitely would have it there every time.

of. They definitely know what they're doing and everything ran smoothly. The food was great and the flowers were stunning in the terrace area. Having the open windows to view the flowers during the early evening and then to see the lights when it got darker out was beautiful. We received a lot of compliments from our guests about our wedding. I definitely recommend this venue! :)

stions and concerns and they get back to you so quickly through phone and email. They are there for whatever you need. We recommend this venue 100% to anyone looking for a beautiful, wonderful, just perfect wedding. Thank you, Janene and everyone else at Silver Lake! Joshua and Brittany Kujawa

sit the venue the first time and actually cancelled the rest of our venue tours and booked Silver Lake on the spot. The food was incredible, and we got tons of compliments. And we got to go in for a tasting before hand, as well. The wait staff and bar tenders were so friendly and talented. My whole day was absolutely perfect all thanks to Silver Lake. They worked amazingly with all of our vendors, too. Right before our event, they actually offered for us to have both rooms for our wedding day for no extra cost. And after our wedding was finished, we received a check because we paid extra. WHAT VENUE DOES THAT?!? August 3 was our dream come true! Thanks SL!!

the ropes and was so calm and funny about it, really helped calm our nerves. The food was DELICIOUS, and everyone enjoyed it.

rtable and work with all of your requests. The bridal suite is awesome! I was able to have my makeup artist and hair stylists come right to the room. There was plenty of space for all of us to hang out without stepping on one another. We had our ceremony on the West Patio. It was absolutely gorgeous. They have the most beautiful flowers. They look great in all of our pictures. We did not have to travel anywhere for additional pictures. They have pretty flowers all around and a gazebo that was perfect for pictures.The food was delicious. We had many compliments from our guests about how much they enjoyed the appetizers and dinner. The staff was phenomenal. They were efficient and polite to all of the guests. The bartenders are amazing, especially Tony. People were impressed on how he remembered what they were drinking. We highly recommend Silver Lake. They went beyond our expectations. It was better than we had imagined and we our so glad that we went with Silver Lake for our day.

al with responding to questions, concerns and giving advice. They made me feel so special and I trusted Amy and Janene with everything and they did not disappoint! The food was incredibly delicious, the grounds are beautiful and well kept and all of the staff were incredibly polite and sweet. I really had the time of my life!!!!!!!! I cannot thank SL enough!!!!!!!

hank you SLCC!

and I would recommend for any of my family or friends to get married here!!!

iendly and on top of everything. All of our guests were thrilled and the room was stunning. I can't recommend this place enough for any event. Any future events that we will plan will be done here. It was beyond fantastic and the most amazing experience I have ever had!

rked with Janene during the months leading up to our wedding and she was AWESOME!! She made sure everything was how we wanted it and went smoothly. Another huge perk here is that tax and tip is included in the per plate cost! This was what sealed the deal for us when choosing a reception, you can't beat their prices and quality! Would HIGHLY recommend having a reception here, you won't regret it!

wer any questions that I had within the last year. The food was excellent and the beautiful flowers and golf course made for some amazing pictures! One thing I would have liked different was having a curtain up in the bridal suite. There are two separate sides, separated by lockers/wall, but the other bridal party were getting ready on our side when my party arrived there; they moved their things quickly, but their flower girls kept running on my side, photographer and florist started to put their stuff on my side and no one from the other party said anything (my bridesmaids and mom had to ask them to stay on the other side), so I think a curtain would have helped this issue. Other than that, I had an amazing day at Silver Lake Country Club and would highly recommend! :)

ven though Janene was super busy she still took her time with my husband and I and gave us a tour as well as wnet over really helpful details . We loved how helpful she was and we chose the venue for our ceremony as well as reception! Amy and janene were the best throughout my entire wedding planning process . They both helped me so much especially when there were things that I was debating on if I needed Or not . These ladies are true experts !!Oh and also the food is amazing! We went with chefs family style. My guest loved everything . My wedding day went perfect and that's all because of my two favorite ladies Amy and janene !!

y and team do an outstanding job from start to finish. They are involved not only in the planning, but also the day of. I would definitely recommend Silver Lake Country Club to anyone looking for a wedding venue with good food, a nice liquor selection, and wonderful service!

mfortable while planning. Donna was a huge help the night of the wedding as well. The venue is stunning, we received so many compliments that night and after about how beautiful it is.The food was awesome, and their bar package is hard to beat :) Thanks for helping make our wedding perfect!

eat group of people to work with and let me express my day in anyway I wanted. They even allowed me to do Fireworks at our wedding! We are forever grateful we chose SilverLake and would highly recommend them to EVERYONE!!! SilverLake will always have a special place in our hearts!!!!

r to make sure it all goes smoothly. I would recommend this venue to anyone planning a wedding. Well worth the money, the planning and I am so happy with my decision.

he venue was just gorgeous and easy to get to for out of town guests. My photographer could not get over how many beautiful locations where available for our photos. I loved that Silver Lake did all the set up and tear down of the room which allowed me to focus on everything else! Even with minor snafus SL handled with excellent professionalism and made me feel relaxed and comforted on my wedding day. The bridal suite was perfect for getting ready and I also loved that I was able to store my dress before the day of the wedding. The food was to die for! Everything was absolutely amazing!! I would recommend SL to anyone who is wanting a beautiful location for their wedding! I would honestly give this more than just 5 stars!!

y cut and served the cakes for us, they boxed everything up for us and had it ready to go. They even set everything up for you the night before! You just have to provide a detailed explanation of how you want it to look. I thought that was outstanding. They are overall kind people to work with.

ch we reaped benefits after all was done. It was the best priced for all services just where we wanted to have our special day. We could tell early on why they were so highly rated and busy. You are able to customize however you want your day (decor, menu, special requests). We had a gorgeous outdoor ceremony where our photographer captured breathtaking photos with all the flowers, nature, and waterfall in the background. We had a wonderful reception and it was decorated so beautifully! The food was AMAZING and it was great to have 1 of my recipes on the menu. Our family, friends, and loved ones enjoyed every moment, the food, dancing, and staff were so nice and accommodating! We could not be any happier that we chose this venue and Amy and Janene are TRULY sweet and amazing at what they do. We LOVE them! =) They put us at ease from beginning to the end. You can email or call them anytime with questions and they respond promptly. They truly care about making your special day everything you want it to be. I would put 10 stars if possible because they are so great! -K&J

e reception and food turned out so beautiful. Also, the garden area was illuminated so beautifully. Took gorgeous pictures at the end of the evening! I highly recommend having your wedding reception here, you won't regret it!

Lake! I had such an amazing experience with them. EVERYONE you work with at Silver Lake is friendly and responsive and keeps you on task! They really want to make sure you have the best day possible, and they are so organized and helpful. We were married in the gazebo, and it was SO beautiful. We did not even need to decorate the aisle because they have flowers and decor outside.. The gardens are absolutely stunning, and you will get AMAZING pictures. There are so many places to take them.. Our reception was in the Garden room, and it is unbelievable how pretty the room looks with the large windows with the lights on the trees outside. Oh, and the food is AMAZING! So good. I worked with Amy and Janene with the planning of the wedding, and they were incredible - No matter who you're working with, they all keep the same notes and can pick up wherever someone else left off. On the day of, Linda and Jeff, staff members of Silver Lake, were not only helpful but SO enthusiastic and excited, which just made the day that much better. To top it all off, they have the best prices out of anyone you will find in town! Tax and gratuity is included in the pricing, and they will pay you back up to a certain percentage of people who don't show up the day of (which ended up happening in our case!!)... Where else can you find that?! I looked at other, more expensive country clubs in the area, and NOTHING even comes close. Silver Lake is not only a more beautiful venue, but also more reasonable. I can not say enough great things about them, and I am so thankful I had my wedding there.

l ceremony sites. The ONLY issue (and it's pretty minor) that I had is the placement of items on the day-of. We must have spent an hour going over where to put everything (guest book, etc) and they ended up switching up what we agreed on, so most people never even saw the guest book to sign. Also they put my ceremony programs in an awkward spot (heading into the reception hall, rather than near the entrance to the seating) so nobody found them. Things like that were minor irritants but definitely didn't impact the feel of the day. Just be extra descriptive about where in the room things will go, and make sure you're actually standing in the room when you discuss. There were a TON of things that the coordinators helped me with, though, like giving me bigger vases to use for my sand ceremony without me even asking (mine were tiny and it would have been awkward). There were other things that I wouldn't have even thought of and they definitely didn't even need to bother, but they clearly wanted my day to be the best that it could be! Overall I would choose this venue 100% and recommend it to anyone for a wedding!

es were reasonably priced and included even top shelf liquor. The ceremony site was beautiful with its regular flowers and the 100 white umbrellas were staged perfectly when it started to sprinkle. The reception and bar staff were very efficient and dinner service seemed flawless. The filet and twice baked potatoes were delicious as was the chocolate fountain. I highly recommend Silver Lake for weddings and am glad we decided to hold ours there!

e staff was super friendly! If you are looking for a stress free wedding Silver Lake is the place to go! Amy does a wonderful job!

.e card holders, toasting glasses, cake cutting utensils, umbrellas) and they respond so so quickly to emails. Their landscaping and views of the golf course were gorgeous and great for pictures on site. The service was great, the food was delicious and the staff were so helpful and friendly! Could not have asked for a better venue! I highly recommend them! They definitely helped reduce the stress of wedding planning! There are way too many good things to say about them!

nue a year and half ago the staff (Donna) made me feel like this was the place I was supposed to get married at. I knew I wanted to have a outdoor ceremony and a venue with beautiful views and Silver Lake gave me that and more. I worked closely with Janene and Amy who are fabulous and answered every question I had and reassured me over and over that things where going to come out great and they did. I loved the fact that I could take all my centerpieces and party favors two days before and Silver Lake staff made my vision of everything a reality. The day of the wedding Amy was amazing on handling everything if something went wrong I hand no idea because I was never asked a single thing she handled everything start to finish. Tony our bartender is amazing everyone loved him, so many peopled raved about the food and how beautiful the venue and grounds where. I can not thank everyone enough at Silver Lake for making my day a dream come true. If I had to do it again I would choose Silver Lake all over.

g -helped with last minute flower and sound issues that I had made mistakes planning -provided security for cash and check gifts -golf carts to drive myself and my wedding party down right before the ceremony. Overall, the food was WAY beyond my expectations. We didn't taste the food before hand, and even though we blindly chose the menu, everyone loved it. The staff was superb. Helpful, professional, kind, and fun. The grounds were impeccable, we were soo happy. I literally did nothing for the ceremony and it was dream like. The shuttle was perfect. The bar was perfect. The dance floor was perfect. All of it. Best wedding ever.

and everyone in her staff was EXTREMELY helpful and knowledgable. I (the bride) was in their office a lot asking questions and they always had the answer and was willing to help. Plus, the food was delicious. They also were able to accommodate all of our guests with dietary restrictions. However, my favorite part of this location was the gardens. They are some of the best gardens I have seen in the suburbs. They also made a fantastic background to our pictures and the pictures that the guest took. Even months after the event, many of our guests Facebook profile pictures were taken at our wedding out in the beautiful gardens. Overall, I cannot say enough wonderful things about this wedding venue. If you are looking for an affordable location with great food and drink and beautiful gardens, then this is your place!

ing on that all night. The view from our room looking into the garden was gorgeous. Everything about the venue turned out amazing I would highly recommended this venue!

little further west. After being less than impressed with the staff at the one venue, I went straight to my appointment with Amy at Silver Lake. I was sold within minutes of meeting Amy. The more Amy and I spoke, the more we clicked. There is a huge sense of relief knowing that the person who will be overseeing your big day is on the same exact page as you are. When you book with Silver Lake, you know that your venue is one thing that can been checked off of your list and needs no further thought. One of the great things about Silver Lake is that it is a blank canvas. After recent renovations, I believe that pretty much any theme a bride has in mind for their big day will coordinate with the decor of Silver Lake. Days after the wedding I still have friends and family going on about what a perfect evening it was. The food was superb, the drinks never ran low and the entire staff went above and beyond to make the night unforgettable. One more thing to keep in mind is that you CANNOT beat the overall price of hosting your reception at Silver Lake. Other places may come close but you really need to look into the fine print. Silver Lake prices include EVERYTHING. There are absolutely no hidden fees. I cannot urge brides enough to make a trip out to Silver Lake to meet with Amy, see the rooms and take a look at the grounds. You will not regret taking the time to do so.

Venue. When I started looking for venues I had to call about 20 places due to the fact we were only having under 40 people at the wedding. It was very frustrating that all the venues I called wanted a guarantee of over 75 people. I had seen Silver Lakes Country Club in many ads but we were on a limited budget. Finally I decided to call Silver Lake to see what their requirements were and from the moment I spoke with Amy at Silver Lake I knew this is where I wanted to have our wedding. From the first phone call to our wedding day was STRESS FREE and Silver Lake was more than accommodating, they went OVER, ABOVE and BEYOND helping us have a Fairy Tale Wedding!!!!!! We had our Ceremony by the Lakeside on the golf course and it was beyond beautiful not only the weather but all the greenery and flowers and the lake in the background. We were treated like ROYALTY and I cannot say enough about their food. We had Family Style and from the Soup to the main Course was Phenomenal!!!!!!!!!! There was not ONE mishap what so ever. So if you are looking for a Beautiful and STRESS FREE Venue for your wedding Silver Lake Country Club is THE PLACE to have the BEST DAY of YOUR LIFE!! Thank you to both Amy and Jeannine for their BEYOND AWESOME Customer Service!!!!!! I wish we could do it all over again.

as able to customize my wedding of my dreams with the help of everyone staffed. I loved having my bride/groom drink of choice, there was room for a photo booth, I had a large wedding party and they were able to accommodate my party and my large guest list! If I could do it all again, I wouldn't change a single thing!

your wedding perfect, out-the-door. Silver Lake ended up booking all of their summer Saturday wedding slots almost a year in advance, so we opted for a Friday date. It ended up being a blessing in disguise, as we saved money on the dinners and on other vendors, such as the photographer. Working with Amy Coghill, Janene Zieler, and Kelly was seamless through every step of the wedding process. Silver Lake also includes a tasting with other couples which we came to find was quite rare with a lot of the other banquet halls we looked at in the area. You are paying the venue a lot of money, and to find that they couldn’t even accommodate a tasting for you was quite disappointing. Not the case with Silver Lake however. They put together a wonderful tasting with many appetizers; two entrees of your choice, soups, salads, everything you need to make your food decisions as painless as possible. My dad was extremely involved in the wedding process and stopped by Silver Lake several times unannounced just to “check in,” (he’s in sales and a very “people person”) and Amy and the rest of the staff took it all in stride with all of his special requests, questions, and drop-ins. The wedding night went by flawlessly; service was wonderful, the staff was friendly, bartenders were accommodating, everything went beautifully because of Silver Lake. The only qualm I had was at the end of the night, I was bombarded endlessly with questions about where things were going, who was picking them up (such as the lanterns from the florist) and many other questions I had already answered or sent to the staff prior to the day of the wedding. Granted, the staff at the end of the night are mainly just late-night servers so they were obviously not looped in on everything but I was flooded with questions while I was trying to leave and get back to the hotel, all of which could have been avoided. Overall though, not a big deal and definitely wouldn’t discredit them for this. Visit Silver Lake with the beautiful gardens and décor, you will not regret it!

fantastic job. The bridal suite is newly renovated and spacious and has everything you need. There are lockers for everyone and they provide a key for you. The wedding went off without a hitch, we can't thank Silver Lake enough for making our day so easy.!!

many guests tell us it was the most beautiful ceremony (and the most fun wedding) they had ever been to. Overall, it was an amazing experience, and our wedding was perfect!

our wedding party took came out amazing! The staff at SLCC is what originally sold us on booking this venue. Amy and Janene and the whole staff made our day run so smooth and tailored our wedding to what we wanted without a blink of an eye! They were so friendly and helpful with all questions we had throughout the process. We had friends and family comment that this was the best wedding food that they have ever had! (We did family style). I would highly recommend booking this venue!

it was so delicious. The process of planning a wedding is hard but they kept it simplistic and organized. They were great with accommodating special request. I had an end of winter wedding and they give some great discounts. They are very reasonably priced trust me I checked every place in the area nobody could match their pricing.

, after just a few minutes of talking to her I felt as though I was planning a wedding with one of my girlfriends. Silver Lake made the whole planning process so easy and stress free. They are super quick to respond to emails and are so accommodating. The day of the wedding was flawless. The staff there knows what they are doing and are so professional. All of my guests raved about the food and how good the service was. We also were able to use the outdoor patio, which our guests loved. Long story short, you will not be disappointed if you book with Silver Lake!

able to get us in and at great price since we couldn't imagine not having it here. I highly recommend checking this place out and ask for Amy, she's awesome! And for any 2016 brides still August 6, 2016 is now available there!

ception room has been modernized. The bride's area went from an old school locker room to a comfortable polished area fit for a bride to get ready. Also the outdoor ceremony area was redone and is even more lovely than it used to be. But that's all cosmetic and there are tons of pretty places to be married around Chicago. In our opinion what sets Silver Lake above everyone else is the staff. Throughout the planning stages we dealt primarily with Janene and she was incredibly helpful. She had an answer for every question and helped accommodate an insanely long list of food allergies that my wife and her family have. Towards the end of the process we also dealt with Amy who is equally helpful and amazing. We really appreciated that for our rehearsal Amy kind of ran things for us. She took us out to the ceremony area first without anyone else so that we could go through what we wanted without outside input. Then we brought out everyone and ran through it for real. It's so easy for people to get off track and be distracted and take forever but not with Amy running the show. It was great! Then day of the wedding we met the event staff and they couldn't have been nicer. Silver Lake really employs the best people. Linda helped get everyone seated and in place and then helped us line up. Throughout the evening she dealt with every little thing that popped up and kept checking in with us to make sure everything was good. Our guests have given us a multitude of compliments about the serving staff and how great they were. They all loved the food (all the food; meat, vegetarian, and vegan), and told us it was way better than your average wedding dinner. Even the bar tenders got rave reviews. By the end of the night they knew what everyone was drinking and had it ready and waiting. It's hard to put into word how great Silver Lake is but trust me you won't regret booking with them!

son I did not give a full 5 stars is for 2 reasons. First, There were some small details I wanted to include in the reception to make the wedding unique and some of those things were overlooked. For example, I had some fun activities for the kids that never displayed for them to see/use. We also had cookies at our wedding and wanted people to be able to take some home at the end of the night but the baggies were never put out. All minor but noteworthy. Second, I wasn't able to customize things as much as I waned since we were limited with it being a golf club. We also felt that while the staff were semi accommodating it was only after much discussion and hassle on our end. Overall it was a great site and I would recommend it to anyone!

ch it did. The food was wonderful, especially the prime rib. All of my guests commented on how great the food was. The coordinators and staff were truly amazing and our special day went off with out a hitch. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking to get married in this area. It was just spectacular!

r but we're told there were going to be renovations done in the winter before our event. The old room was slightly outdated due to the mauve color everywhere and old light fixtures, among other things. They renovated it all, plus some! It now looks stunning and completely up to date. Amy and Jeanne were who I most closely worked with and they are both wonderful. Amy is the no-nonsense type person who will get what you need done and with a smile. It was very easy to trust that what I was expecting would get done and that removed an immense weight from my shoulders during the planning process. We chose the lakeside site for our ceremony because of the beautiful landscaping around and behind the site. To one side of the site is a hillside covered in a beautiful garden. The hillside blocks the view of the clubhouse creating an intimate site for the ceremony while still being in an open space. The only flowers I used outside were the flowers on or held by the bridal party. For the reception we booked both the East and West rooms (there is a divider that can be added to separate them) They worked with me ahead of time to determine how I would like the room set up because I wanted guests to enter from the patio instead of the traditional club house. We chose to go with the Family Style menu because people don't have to chose before hand (nor did I have to keep track of it) but the food wasn't pre portioned onto their plates. If they loved the veggies, which were delicious, they could have multiple servings and no pasta. It was as if it was a mini buffet at each table. This format also was a very quick option. Friends and family all told us that I looked beautiful and we looked so happy, but their next compliment was about the food! Everyone LOVED it! Silver Lake also worked wonderfully with all our vendors. Our photographer, DJ, and florist all told me how helpful and friendly the staff was. Some of the vendors had worked at Silver Lake before and some had not, all were impressed. We were looking at a guest list about 300 and for Chicago venues that can be hard to find as well as very pricey. Silver Lake was a breath of fresh air with their straight-forward and affordable pricing. There were no hidden fees or "upgrading" your package to get what you wanted. High quality service, delicious food/drinks, and spectacular views are just the start to what Silver Lake Country Club can offer. I HIGHLY recommend this venue to anyone looking to host a wonderful event.

uet hall but an elegant place that offered intimacy. That was exactly what silver lake presented to us, a homely atmosphere. They were very accommodating especially Amy and Jeanine. I took about, I don't know how many people, to check the place out. They all had questions and changes to be made with each visit but the staff were patient and effected all the changes for us. Then it rained on my wedding day yee!!!!!. How beautiful and stress free Amy made that situation look and feel. To think that the favorite part of the wedding according to our guest was when they had to use their white umbrellas. Funny right, but that is silver lake for you. Guest can't stop talking about the food (yum) and the portions. Our day was so much fun we forgot it ever rained during the ceremony because our guest were in love with the atmosphere silver lake presented. Thank you to Amy and Jeanine especially for all the help in making our wedding unique. My pastor still talks about how unique it was. If you are looking for a good place for a wedding silver lake is your best choice. Don't let the structure of the building deceive you just go in and see.

rfect day, and made it as stress free as possible. We highly recommend this place to anyone; I couldn't even complain about one thing if I wanted to!

y husband feel special on our day and made sure our day ran smooth and according to the program. The food was good, the drinks were good, and I truly enjoyed my night. Highly recommend this venue from all my heart.

ed with us and helped us create an amazing day with truly unforgettable memories.

e your day seamless! Almost all of our guests stayed until the last song of the evening; our guests were VERY impressed by everything at SLCC. I would recommend Silver Lake to any bride and groom looking for a classy and sophisticated wedding venue!

were fantastic, and the bartender was was top notch. The room has beautiful tall windows that look out to a garden, and it backs up to an outdoor patio that all wedding guests can use. My husband and I are huge Blackhawks fans, and we were worried that there would be a playoff game the night of our wedding. They offered to bring in a TV and speakers for us, just in case they played. I surprise my husband by getting Tommy Hawk to come to the reception...Amy (the wonderful lady in charge) made sure that he was in the right place at the right time to make the surprise was perfect. I seriously cannot rave enough about this place. Have your reception here...you won't regret it!

ering right away or we received a call or email back very quickly. They accommodated all of our ideas/plans for the wedding day and offered suggestions to help make things run more smoothly. We had our ceremony at the outside chapel and they transported guests back and forth on golf carts. Our guests really appreciated it! Linda handled the day of our wedding and she was absolutely amazing. She made sure that the wedding party was happy and helped coordinate people and pictures so the bride and groom wouldn't collide before the ceremony. Overall, I don't think the day could have gone better. The site was beautiful, the backdrop in the East Garden room was amazing with the flowers and greenery during daylight and the white lights in the evening. Comparing to other venues, I liked the way Silver Lake gives you an all-inclusive price (including gratuity and tax) so you know the bottom line before signing the contract. They also give a 5% no-show allowance for those guests who can't make the wedding at the last minute. We ended up getting a check back for that 5%.

center pieces and the staff took over so she could spend time with me. The food was great not standard banquet food. They had beautiful gardens and many beautiful places that photographed great. I couldn't ask for a better wedding. Thank you Amy, Janene, Donna and everyone else who helped make my wedding the day of my dreams

d was delicious and the chicken was to die for!! It was so nice that the servers came to the table and offered refills on any of the food and of course our whole table had to say yes!! The gardens were truly beautiful and our family photos turned out great. My husband and I once again can't say enough good things about Amy and the staff at Silver Lake. Every experience we've had here has been so perfect! We already have another party booked here for next May, Amy and Janean in the office always make sure every little detail is covered so I can just relax and enjoy myself and I think that is one of the best services that Silver Lake has to offer! Its just piece of mind knowing I don't have to worry about anything because the staff is always 2 steps ahead of me and they already have things taken care of! I recommend Silver Lake to all of my friends and family.

ng at. The picturesque views is just the start of the magnificence here! The ceremony site has a backdrop of a clean pond with a shooting fountain, the flowers and shrubbery are well kept and the simple white chairs that are placed for guests make everything seamless. Just outside of our banquet room was a GORGEOUS little garden that is lit up with white lights that wrap around trees and the gazebo. A beautiful rock garden with a small waterfall just topped off the magical feeling. Amy, who runs the banquet hall, was SUCH a pleasure to work with. She had fun with the guests and bridal parties and helped ensure that everything was taken care of. Bartenders are more than generous and SUPER friendly as well. I would highly recommend anyone to look into having this venue for their special day!

passed out, pictures were being taken, and the bridal party was busy eating and talking throughout dinner. As the waitress came around, she asked me if I was done, I said "yes" and she said "no you're not." I looked at her and she smiled and told me she was a mom, and I needed to eat. It was going to be a long night and she was sure I probably had not eaten all day. So she left my plate, smiled at me, pointed at my plate, and walked away. I laughed, and started to eat. Something so little can mean so much. She did not have to worry about what I was or was not eating, but she did. Everyone was just so personable with not just us but all of our guests. We got married this year on May 31st. Our ceremony was on site outside and cocktail hr/reception immediately followed. I knew this was our place on the first visit. From their friendly and amazing staff, beautiful grounds, convenient location, and accommodations...we could not be happier. I am, well, a very indecisive person so I was constantly calling, asking questions, asking to come in, going over details...etc. The staff at Silver Lakes was always more than willing to help me with suggestions, let me come in whenever I wanted to see the room, and also knew exactly how to calm my nerves. I did not put much detail into my wedding for the simple fact of, less detail=less chances of things not going as planned. Silver Lakes is already so beautiful that I did not have to do much. Amy is absolutely positively amazing!!! She is honest, knowledgeable, accommodating, friendly, and just a really pleasant down to earth woman. She helped us feel at ease throughout our planning process and on our big day. I honestly did not have to worry about ANYTHING!!!! The staff, bartenders, and waiters/waitresses were so nice as well. I can honestly say that I do not have one bad thing to say. Silver Lakes went above and beyond for us and exceeded any expectations we had going into this. Their food....amazing as well. People are still talking about how great the food was and how gorgeous their outside is. If you want something different, beautiful with every season, and a place that everyone will remember, well then I 100% recommend going with Silver Lakes. Thank you again to everyone at Silver Lakes that helped us make our night so much more special. Steve & Carly

light salty, little spicy, fresh and very well. Amazingly is that the back bones are removed out. We are all wondering how chef did that! 2) White umbrella adds romance! Though snowing and raining, your team is very professionally prepared with white umbrellas. They look pretty and matches the white and pure feel of the ceremony. A few guests also commented that a lady (she helped with our rehearsal) nicely persuaded the guests who carried different color of umbrellas to change the it to make sure the entire theme is kept. That's really considerable! I also saw a few ladies of your team helped to dry chairs by wiping rain drops off the chairs right before guests got out and sat down. That's sweet. 3) Baked potato with cheese is good, chicken are tasted good. Food are a lot! 4) Table liner and plate/glass decoration are organized and displayed nice. 5) Take very good care of kids - chair, meal, respond upon questions. They will wrap the cake, and giving the glass cup gift box! They are nicely printed with Silver Lake logo.

the wedding and they promptly answered my questions or made requested changes. The staff working there was AMAZING. Being the bride, I was of course overwhelmed that day. I felt like their staff was one step ahead of me the entire day! They had everything ready to go before I even asked. They even had things I did not ask for! It started pouring rain seconds after my ceremony ended...they had cute white umbrellas for everyone and offered rides to the building on golf carts! That is just an example of them going above and beyond without even being asked. We are also still getting compliments on the food. The guests were very pleased! Me and my husband ended up not eating our dinner since we were talking with everyone. One of their staff members noticed this, and came up to us later in the night saying they wrapped up our dinner for us to be eaten later. It was so sweet. We could not have picked a more perfect venue for our wedding venue. Great job Silver Lake! Thank you! -Taylor and Tony
