I can’t say enough about St. Andrew’s!! Everything was beyond exceptional! We chose St. A’s for its outdoor ceremony location and beautiful ballroom but another big sell was all the reviews I read about their coordinator, Kim Bruscato. There are a ton of reviews raving about how amazing she is and she did not disappoint. Not only did she meet our every need, she went above and beyond to make our planning as smooth as possible. Kim is THE person you want to have on your team, especially for wedding day!! I could go on but she’s simply the best. Throughout wedding planning, my husband and I continuously said how thankful we were that we found St. Andrew’s and Kim. Best decision we made and we’ll forever be thankful!!!

I knew this venue was something special the moment we met with wedding coordinator Kim Bruscato. Kim met with my husband and I multiple times leading up to our wedding to offer guidance and support in helping us plan our wedding and answering all of our questions. She was there if I needed to vent, cry, or just needed someone to talk to. You can tell that Kim truly loves what she does and cares deeply for her couples. Whatever problems arose during the planning process or the day of the wedding, she fixed in an instant. There is no better feeling than seeing your vision come to life and that was in large part due to Kim. The venue itself was an absolute dream with a beautiful bridal suite, scenic outdoor ceremony space, large banquet hall, dedicated staff, and delicious food! If you are looking for a reasonably priced venue with a wedding coordinator that will go the extra mile, then book with Kim and St. Andrews! I cannot recommend this venue enough. Thank you Kim for all your hard work in making our special day run smoothly and one we will never forget! <3

My husband and I got married on 06/28/2024. We had our ceremony and reception here. Our event coordinator, Kim Bruscato, exceeded our expectations and turned our dream wedding vision to life! Throughout the planning process, we met many times to answer all of my questions. Kim is very detail-oriented and communicative. The venue is absolutely gorgeous and the food is delicious! All of our guests raved about the food. We HIGHLY recommend all couples to get married at St. Andrews Golf & Country Club.

I cannot express enough praise for Kim and the staff at St. Andrews. My wedding on October 26, 2024, was everything I could have wished for—a complete dream.
We were able to meet with Kim, the wedding coordinator at St. Andrews, as often as we needed and had access to the venue whenever we wanted for inspiration.
Kim made our day run so smoothly that we didn’t have to worry about a thing. She handled any issues that arose and made everything right. The St. Andrews staff was incredibly kind and efficient throughout the entire event. Whatever we needed—water, a full-length mirror, a TV for the groomsmen to watch sports—they made it happen. Once again, Kim ensured our day went off without a hitch, and everyone was well taken care of.
All of our guests praised the food as well!
If you’re considering a wedding venue, I highly recommend checking out St. Andrews. You won’t be disappointed!

Our wedding reception was everything my husband and I could’ve dreamed of! Kim, the coordinator is an absolute rockstar! We met with her while looking at venues and knew she was the one we wanted to go with! She gave us basically step by step instructions for everything we needed and met with us many times from the beginning of the year which was amazing cause we were nervous and lost.
Day of went incredibly smooth thanks to the staff. Everyone came to us and complimented the food as well! Everyone was so professional and sweet! I highly recommend St. Andrews!

Magnificent, from the early planning process to the last dance! I was honored to be able to venue shop with my daughter, and nothing compared to St. Andrew’s in West Chicago. Kim was there every step of the way, serving not only as a wedding coordinator but as a friend and mentor to the couple all year long, making sure all the details were on track and easing stress.
They hosted a food tasting event for all of the 2024 couples and their guests, with opportunities to meet fabulous reliable vendors, many of whom we used, (oh the harpist 💕!), and showed an endless display of gorgeous table linens and decor to choose from. The food was so good and exceeded expectations, and I really recommend the water chestnuts as an hors d’oeuvres to pass. We were fortunate to have an outdoor ceremony which was so beautiful, but there are also 2 elegant indoor spaces we had access to for cocktail hour where we could spread out. Our harpist played for cocktail hour as well. And the main ballroom was stunning, like a fairytale! Kim was always there to offer suggestions, and attend to any last minute details or issues that came up. She is so professional and takes pride in her work. An added bonus is that this venue was priced more reasonably than some others we’ve seen that offered less perks. Also worth noting, St. Andrew’s has a huge dressing room for the bridal party and also one for the groomsmen, one of the deciding factors for the bride. Our day started at 8 AM with mimosas, fruit and bagels and bridal party primping with a hair and makeup team, Hairs 2 the Bride, another recommended vendor. It made the whole day even more fun. It was also great for getting ready photos. At the end of the night our daughter shared that everything went exactly as she hoped and dreamed for. Thank you Kim and staff! We highly recommend St Andrews!

This wedding venue was everything we ever dreamed of. The ceremony site is beautiful, the reception hall is large and well decorated, and the food met all of our expectations.
The real gem at this venue, though, is Kim. She helped walk us through all of our planning, coordinated with all of the vendors day-of, recommended fantastic options both internally and externally to maximize our budget, worked with the staff to decorate perfectly, ran around on our wedding day solving problems, and was both professional and friendly. We could not have asked for a better partner.

My Husband and I had an amazing experience with St. Andrews. The ceremony and reception space was beautiful and the food was delicious. The outdoor ceremony site was my favorite part. But the reception area was also very beautiful and went so well with the theme/colors I wanted.
The event manager Kim was so easy to work with and made our day run perfectly. She worked with us to help us with our wedding vision. If you're looking for a place that will go above and beyond to help you on your special day contact Kim at St. Andrews!!

Our wedding was an amazing experience here majorly in part to Kim Bruscato, the event coordinator. From the very beginning of our planning process she was always available for questions, help, and her expert advice. She basically served as our wedding planner and helped us work out all of the intricacies of our wedding. She helped create our timeline, went through all of our decor ideas with us, and coordinated the entire day to make everything perfect for us.
We were able to drop off all of our decor 2 days in advance, for the venue to set up the wedding day. This took such a huge relief off of us that we didn’t have to worry about setting anything up or taking anything down afterwards.
We returned the day after the wedding to pick up any decorations or items left in the bridal/grooms rooms. We also had our rehearsal dinner there and Kim decorated it completely on her own & make it fit perfectly with our style and taste for the wedding. We trusted her opinion completely and knew that she would make everything look amazing & flow smoothly. The entire experience with her was amazing and we received so many compliments from our guests saying how amazing she is and how helpful she has been. Some people asked they could hire her for separate events, so we really hope St. Andrews facility realizes how valuable she is to their venue. By the end of the whole process, she felt like a friend and a guest at our wedding and we are so grateful to have had a seamless, stress free wedding from start to finish.

I cannot even put into words how absolutely amazing Kim Bruscato was for our wedding. We looked at several venues before we came to St. Andrews. By the time we got to St. Andrews for a tour, I realized that each venue kind of felt the same: a pretty room with a pretty view of outside. St. Andrews was no different. A beautiful golf course with a lakeside wedding ceremony option, an amazing indoor venue for cocktail hour and a gorgeous indoor reception area with natural lighting from the large windows. It was only after meeting Kim that I was ready to make a decision. She immediately made me feel safe and protected in the process. Kim met with us several times before our wedding, guiding us through decisions, always making me feel heard and giving us advice about what was worth spending on and what wasn’t. She answered phone calls and emails and I never felt like a bother. Kim is more than just a day-of-coordinator. She is fully invested in everyone she works with. The group tasting event that she planned was amazing. We were able to try all of the food options as well as see a large variety of table/chair setups as each table was decorated differently to help us to visualize our options. Two days before my wedding, I went to the venue to drop off bins of wedding items and put on my dress so that my sister could practice doing my bustle. We quickly realized that the alterations were not done correctly and needed to be fixed. Without skipping a beat, Kim was on the phone with my tailor, explained everything and arranged for them to come to the venue the next day to fix the mistake. She stayed with my family and I for hours as they fixed the dress and kept me calm throughout the process. As an anxious person I had a lot of concerns about the stress level on my day. Kim was on top of our wedding day schedule the entire day, giving us space and time to get ready peacefully while also checking in with my mom, sister and I to make sure we were doing well and to let us know when something needed to happen. She was the point person for every vendor and I never had to check in with any of them throughout the day. My wedding at St. Andrews was everything I dreamed of. A perfect, sunny Spring day, a beautiful ceremony accompanied by a string quartet, and amazing food and dancing with all of our loved ones. I highly recommend this venue and Kim Bruscato for your upcoming event!

We had our wedding reception at St Andrews and could not have had a more perfect day! Kim made the planning process so easy and provided us great guidance every step of the way. She was hands on the day of and visible throughout the reception to help as needed! Every detail was mindfully executed! She even got out her sewing kit to help repair my ripped bustle right before our first dance! Joe and his kitchen staff are wonderful! Every food item was hot and absolutely delicious! We would 100% choose St Andrews again for an event!

It was our pleasure working with Kim to help plan our wedding day. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was on point and could not have asked for a better person to go to. It was a perfect venue with having our ceremony outside and reception inside. Kim truly cared about our needs and the food and decor along with the staff was exceptional. I would highly recommend her to use for any event. All of our guests had an amazing time and kept raving about how beautiful our special day was. We cannot thank you enough for all of your time and effort to bring this all together for us.

This is super late, but we had our wedding here and the experience was absolutely wonderful. It was perfect for us! First of all Kim (the wedding coordinator) is amazing!! She really made my wedding day stress free and was really invested in making our day exactly what we wanted. She offers endless advice, keeps you on top of your planning , and takes charge gracefully when needed. We couldn’t have done this without her. Also the food is so delicious we got a lot of compliments. The ceremony site was beautiful and there is easy access with a sidewalk leading all the way there. We loved the fact that you can rent out multiple rooms that all connect. With our larger wedding it really helped everyone feel comfortable. Also the huge bridal suite was so helpful for getting ready. If you’re considering having your wedding here you would be making a great choice!

My review is long overdue, as a New Year's Eve bride. I toured 15+ venues in the area and walked away from my initial meeting with Kim knowing that I would be choosing this venue to work directly with her. In my initial sit down with Kim, I made it known that I do not have the "wedding vision" mind and essentially just wanted to show up to a party. Kim helped me make my NYE wedding beautiful and SO much fun.
My wedding was in the midst of the post Christmas Omicron surge and we had 40 people drop out the week of the wedding. Kim helped me rearrange all seating and worked with us to ensure the loss of guests didn't leave a visible hole in our reception. She went above and beyond every step of the way and helped me feel supported.
The food was delicious, the venue had centerpiece options available which took stress off my plate, and Kim blew the setup for the ceremony and reception out of the water. I highly recommend getting yourself a Kim!!

Where do I even begin !!! We had our wedding at St. Andrews in June 2022 and everything was absolutely amazing.
As soon as we met with Kim I knew that we didn’t have to look any further. She honestly is super woman and knowing she was there for us every step of the way made the wedding planning process that much less stressful. If you have no idea what you’re doing when it comes to wedding planning you definitely need Kim in your life. She made sure I stayed on top of everything and helped me with all the decision making when I was being indecisive !!
Joe and the kitchen staff made sure all of the food was perfect. The guests raved about how delicious everything was !
The venue is absolutely gorgeous with lots of room to fit our 220 guests, they were also very accommodating which was a big thing for us !
Thank you Joe and Kim for making our wedding day perfect , we couldn’t have done it without you!!!

We had our wedding here last month and cannot say enough about this venue! To start, we were unfortunately one of those couples that had multiple reschedules due to COVID. Kim and the staff were extremely flexible with our rescheduling, never charged any hidden or added fees, or tried to make us pay in advance when there were so many unknowns. I have heard other couples stories about the difficulty their venues gave them during COVID and feel so blessed we were with St. Andrews.
Second, the venue is absolutely gorgeous! You have so much space, a beautiful Irish Pub like feel, and the ceremony locations (both indoor and outdoor) are stunning. We received so many compliments on the food and dinner was served quickly and efficiently. The venue has its own bridal and groom suite so our entire wedding party was able to get ready at the venue the morning of (which eliminated all the stress and costs for party buses). We worked with Kim through this process and found her to be very personable and easy to work with. Thank you Kim & St. Andrews for making the wedding process so fun & easy!

My husband and I could not be happier with our choice in having our wedding at St Andrews. First off, we are eternally grateful for KIM! From when we met her while touring the venue, up until the very last minute of her time at our wedding, she went above and beyond to make our day perfect! From helping with little things like decor ideas to assisting in making a table layout for 200+ guests, Kim was there every step of the way. Kim is very passionate about her job and it really shows in the way she pays attention to details and ensuring everything was exactly how we wanted the day of. We truly can't find enough words to express just how thankful we are for her and the rest of the staff at St Andrews. All of our family and friends have not stopped raving about how beautiful the venue was, how good the food was and how friendly/attentive the staff was! St. Andrews will forever have such a special place in our hearts.

The main reason we chose St. Andrews was because of their event coordinator, Kim. She is absolutely amazing and went above and beyond to make our wedding dreams come true. She is so fun, personable, and genuinely loves her job and cares about her couples -- something we didn't get from the other venues we viewed. Besides Kim, though, we had our ceremony outdoors which was beautiful, and our reception was so much fun! The food was amazing and the staff was super friendly towards our guests. We also really liked that we were the only event at the venue. We had the best wedding we could've asked for and we owe it all to Kim and her fantastic team at St. Andrews!

Wedding of our dreams! Kim didsuch an amazing job planning she went above and beyond in every aspect we couldn’t have asked for a better coordinator or venue! Highly, highly recommend!! Any small hiccup throughout the day Kim had already covered and smoothed over before I even heard about it! She made the entire process easy and enjoyable and accommodated everysilly request from my family and I! I will never forget how incredible my experience was at this venue and am so happy we chose St Andrews for our wedding! Our guests were in awe of the space and all the little details that were added (all by Kim!) that made the wedding unique, beautiful, and an all around incredible party! My husband and I cannot say thank you enough or enough great things about our experience here! Cannot wait to come back for the baby shower!!

St Andrews was amazing! They were wonderful to work with, and were such a huge help to me in planning everything. The food was awesome, I got compliments all night on how delicious everything was. I have a diary allergy, and normally don't get to eat at weddings, but they accommodated me and all my guests so everyone got to enjoy themselves.
We had to move our ceremony inside last minute, but Kim did a spectacular job setting things up for me and helped us have the wedding of our dreams. Everyone was such a delight to work with and I am so thankful for everyone who helped us! Shout out to Kim who was there for me throughout this process to make our day perfect!

Our first venue we chose closed down unexpectedly and St. Andrews was more than happy to help fit us in on a tight schedule and make our day very special. We ended up loving this venue way more than our original! The weather was pretty bad on the day of and the staff at St. Andrews worked very hard to make a beautiful ceremony inside, which ended up be so awesome! The food was great, the space is vintage and cozy, the grounds are beautiful, and the staff is more than willing to help with anything. I couldn't imagine having our wedding anywhere else!

The best single best decision my husband and I made for our wedding day was to have it at St. Andrews. Jenna as a wedding planner/coordinator goes above and beyond. She answered all of my questions leading up to the day and then on the day of the wedding she kept the day going smoothly. She is very detail oriented and was just wonderful to work with. No other wedding venue site we looked at had both the combination of a beautiful outdoor site and gorgeous large ballroom. The food was wonderful and we continue to hear compliments about the food from our guests. We can't recommend St. Andrews enough!

Where do I begin. Our wedding at St. Andrews was absolutely beautiful. We did an outdoor ceremony on the grounds and reception in the St. Andrews room. The coordinator Jenna Caricato is AMAZING. She is so accommodating, genuine, and sincere. She handles everything... like a superwoman. I had guests ask me if she is willing to coordinate weddings elsewhere! She was present and there to attend to any needs for our day. Super responsive to emails and phone calls and always made me feel calm and supported. Now the food- you can order anything on the menu and you will be happy. We learned this at the tasting which made it really difficult to reach a decision! Our guests went on and on about the food. The waiting staff was very sweet and the manager is awesome. Enjoyed the company of the entire staff. The whole day ran very smoothly and I definitely credit the St. Andrews staff for a lot of that!! They offer little things that really matter. Like a complimentary golf cart to get your guests down to the service that may have a hard time getting to there by foot. They have really thought of everything.

We had a great wedding here. One of the reasons we chose St. Andrew's was because of how good the wedding coordinator, Jenna, was. Right from the beginning, even as prospective clients, she always returned our emails in a timely manner. I really appreciated that she always answered all of my many questions. This is something you want in a wedding coordinator. The venue has kind of an old-timey feel to it. We liked the wooden decor. One of the perks of having our wedding here was the menu food tasting for up to 6 people. This really helped nail down what we wanted. Cake is included in all packages, but we do not recommend using their supplier, Oak Mill Bakery. We were being gauged for all these little "up charges." It was constantly an unpleasant experience with them. We let Jenna know and she mitigated the situation by taking the cake off and crediting us for it. We were then able to do an ice cream sundae bar instead which was such a unique and memorable thing to have at a wedding. Jenna also helped us create a mashed potato bar to have during cocktail hour. It was as tasty as it was creative. We recommend having the ceremony in the Trophy Room and reception in the St Andrew's Room. Opt for the pipe and drape background in the Trophy Room, it will be well-worth it. Another awesome perk of having our wedding there was having access to the expansive bridal suite. We had access to it all day long and had 10-12 people in there at any given time. We were also able to call in lunch to the on-site JJ's Bar while we were all getting ready the day of. Another thing we liked was that we were able to bring a keg of our own beer to tap. Other venues did not allow this so we were happy St Andrew's did. There were a few downsides. If you plan to get married in the month of December like we originally did, you will have to be content with A LOT of Christmas decorations that will not be taken down for your wedding. We ended up moving our wedding date because of this. The wiatstaff during the wedding was also a bit impatient about collecting people's food and as a result a few people lost a good portion of their meals because the waitstaff cleared their plate because the guest got up for a minute or two. We have addressed this with the venue though. I also would caution brides about taking photos by the back spiral staircase in the summer. It was a thick field of acorns. Several of them got attached to the bottom of my dress and it was a bit of a hassle to get them all off. But other than that, there are many great spots to take photos around the venue. We were also happy that Jenna was on site the day of the wedding to make sure everything went smoothly. She helped direct everyone down the aisle for the ceremony. Overall, this was a lovely place to get married and we would recommend it to future couples.

If I could give St. Andrews 100 stars I would! Jenna - the event coordinator was our Godsend - she got us through everything and made our wedding so perfect! From start to end questions were always answered - above and beyond customer service. Food was absolutely amazing ( not your typical wedding food - they put a spin on it to make is so tasty!) Bridal suite getting ready had my bridal party and hair/makeup team love the day even more. Ceremony site was absolutely perfect with all the natural greens and trees with the lake in the background made picture flawless! If you book any event there, especially a wedding you will not be disappointed!

We picked St Andrews for the beautiful space and interiors, and the packages that they offered for a couple that didn't have a lot of free time for a diy wedding. What we got was a gorgeous venue, delicious food, friendly staff, and coordinator Jenna, who was absolutely wonderful. Jenna kept us both on track with making decisions, assisted with timelines, and answered every question we had along the way. Our wedding was beautiful, and two weeks later our family and friends are still talking about the venue and wonderful staff.

St. Andrews did a fantastic job of hosting my wedding! As some of you are finding out, finding your venue is hard work. Since I had my wedding ceremony and reception together at St. Andrews I wanted to help you with some of the gaps in thoughts when you make your choice that only are noticed when it's occurring or too late.
First. Jenna was our event planner. She is great! Her guidance, forethought, and flexibility are great. More important is her ability to communicate and respond to our needs as they appear. Don't misunderstand. The event went better than according to plan. Spectacular!
That's because every detail was addressed in advance and not left to "It is what it is". It is what was planned for. My wife and I are a hands on couple. We decorated the 19th Hole (Room) for our ceremony the night before as Jenna was able to make an arrangement for that. I know that was probably an exception to the rule but that's something noteworthy as were many things.
We had an open bar. Be prepared to have an ID if you're on the cut line. I was asked about 1 attendee personally even though ID'd. I personally validated. I'm so glad this was done so professionally and discreetly. The safety of our guests is of extreme importance. We had zero issues with a guest list of 100.
The food. At our tasting we decided on 2 entrees plus a vegetarian meal. Our choices of Italian Roasted Chicken and Marinated Sirloin plus Gnocchi were awesome. Not to mention the hors d'oeuvres and cheese tray. One thing about wedding dinners that is worth mentioning. These were very bountiful. Many of our guests commented on the amount of food being more than expected besides delicious. I am not a small man and yes there was plenty on my plate to more than satisfy! The cake they included was beautiful and delicious.
Something small but worth mentioning. My wife and I had personalized toasting glasses. After dinner they inadvertently went through the dishwasher with all of the house glassware. We got a call the following day to say they were clean and ready for retrieval. We didn't even notice they were missing yet.
I can't recommend Jenna and St. Andrews enough for all the big and small things they do to make the most special day more special.

My daughter was just married at St. Andrews, and it was perfect! Jenna is the event coordinator and she bent over backwards to make her day special and exactly what she was expecting. The ceremony was in the 19th Hole. The room is perfect for such an intimate gathering, with the fireplace backdrop for the vows and the large wood bar. Dinner was in the Trophy Room. We had a small count and Jenna created a huge "feast table", where everyone was sitting in one big square, it looked awesome! The chef is very accommodating to food allergies and the food was delicious! I have been recommending St. Andrews to all of our friends (and frankly, everyone I've talked to that the subject came up!), and have already held the date for my next event.

My wedding was back in September, wanted to write this sooner but married life has been crazy! Jenna was by far the best person to work with out of all of the vendors we used. Even back when we were searching for halls, she blew them all away with how well she answered our questions and even answered ones we hadn't even thought of yet! The day of went so smoothly! I had plenty of worries but Jenna was there on top of everything, and anything that could have caused a delay she made it worked through it effortlessly. You would not believe how many people gave us not only compliments on our wedding, but numerous people said it was the best wedding they had ever been to! The food was amazing, the drinks were awesome( several people loved their amaretto stone sours!), the venue was gorgeous and the rest of the staff was super attentive. Lots of thanks to Jenna and her crew, she made it one amazing night to remember!

I am sure my wedding would not have been half as amazing had we not had it at St. Andrews. All aspects of the venue made my dream come to life. Take one step into St Andrews Room, the ballroom with large beautiful chandeliers and a window of the patio, and you can picture your wedding there. The 91 year history of the club adds to its grandeur and trustworthiness. The bridal suite is enormous and beautiful, setting the tone for the day (with a nice note from the staff!) I never had to worry about the ceremony or reception being private or anyone unwelcome coming in. There were so many options for photos around the grounds, including the plants & ponds in view. They recently painted the arch for the outdoor ceremony white instead of brown, and we added florals to make it even more breathtaking. My guests complimented us on the beautiful ceremony location and the venue itself, and we all could not be more impressed with the food! We had the mid-range package, that includes everything we would ever need to have a spectacular wedding. The centerpieces included were so simple, but just what I wanted.
It is a family-run business, and exceptional at that. The entire staff showed how happy they were for us, from just before walking down the aisle to running into the manager the next day. So many other reviewers have complimented Jenna the even coordinator so much, and I completely agree how perfect she is. My MOH even thought we paid her for our planner, but she comes with it! She knows her stuff backwards and forwards and was always so quick in responding to my emails answering every question that it takes to put on a wedding. The entire experience was flawless for me. Wish I could relive it every day.

Jenna, the Event Sales Manager at St. Andrews was amazing. She was very easy to work with, organized, and flexible. Jenna was able to take our vision of the reception and made it perfect. The food was delicious and the staff was exceptional. Planning a wedding and reception is stressful and Jenna definitely helped to keep me calm as we planned our magical day!

This venue was absolutely incredible!!! I cannot say more good things about Jenna, the wedding coordinator. She is super professional and was not bothered by my constant questions and meetings. She was great about suggesting things I might like and about to pick up on my style. I live 2 hours away and was only able to set up last minute meetings and Jenna was great about getting me in. I was very disappointed but not being able to have my ceremony outside, but Jenna made our ceremony breathtaking and I couldn't imagine anyone else doing having done a better job at such a last minute change. She really put me at ease and I was able to enjoy my wedding. I highly recommend St. Andrews to any upcoming brides. You will not regret it!!

This was the PERFECT venue! Jenna, the wedding coordinator, is the reason we booked our wedding here in the first place, and she exceeded our expectations! We did not have our own wedding planner, and she basically took on that role for us. She was always prompt to respond, and made sure we were getting the best deals. We had our wedding on a Sunday so they did offer a us a discount for that, and then they threw in some add-ons we had not been expecting.
The day went flawlessly! We actually got married at our church down the street, and just had the reception at St. Andrew's, but Jenna let us use the bridal suite to get ready in, even though the ceremony was off-site. You could not dream of a bigger, more beautiful room to get ready with your girls in, complete with couches, a giant walk-up full-length mirror, separate bathrooms, and mirrors and natural light everywhere. Completely perfect! During the event, Jenna and her staff were so attentive to our needs. When it got a little warm, they were super fast to remedy the situation, going above and beyond.
The food was truly fantastic! We actually still have guests contacting us to tell us it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding, and the chef was super attentive to our needs (we had a lot of serious allergy issues in the group, and he took our concerns very seriously). The golf course is scenic and perfect for beautiful photos, and Jenna even drove us around in a golf cart to get to the best places to take photos quickly, so we didn't have to walk.
Overall, We would HIGHLY recommend this venue to other couples. The prices were the best around, and the staff really goes above and beyond!

We were so pleased with the service, the staff, and the food. Jenna, the coordinator, was always prompt, friendly, helpful, and had many good ideas to make the event even more spectacular. She even put up with all my crazy Harry Potter themed decorations and bits. All my guests raved over the food, and the venue was able to make accomodations for a food allergy and a few scattered vegetarians without blowing our budget. Almost everyone chose the Delmonico Steak (our meat option) and even though there were 40+ steak plates, no one complained of it being dry or overcooked, which often happens with large orders.
Thank you for Jenna, and thank you to St Andrews for making my reception wonderful.

St. Andrews was an absolute dream, from the grounds, to the food, to the good care everyone took to ensure our day was perfect. We had our wedding June 3rd, and everything was perfect. Jenna Sayers, the wedding coordinator was simply amazing. Of all the vendors I worked with for our wedding, she was the most attentive. She quickly responded to every email I sent throughout the year planning, and provided all the information I needed. She worked with all our requests with complete patience and grace. The staff was pleasant to work with, and you can tell this is a family owned business. Jenna even helped direct each member of the processional on when to go down the aisle from behind a tree! The prices were great, we had about 130 people at our wedding in the main room (st. Andrews room) and chose the middle traditional package plus outdoor ceremony and late night snack for around 16K, and it was worth every penny and then some. This place is truly a hidden gem, and I could not have been happier with our choice.

We went and looked at 4 different venues. This was our first one and the one we picked! From the moment we walked in the doors I could see myself getting married here. Jenna is amazing! Even our other vendors raved about her. She answered all our questions, and put our minds at ease every step of the way. The food is amazing here as well! A major selling point for me was the area they have downstairs for brides to get ready. My hair and make up lady's came to us (there were 7 of us). and even with them there was plenty of room for everyone to be together without standing on top of each other. Staff was also super friendly and helpful.

An amazing find! And even better service. The food was outstanding as well. The wedding coordinator, Jenna, was more than helpful. She was a life saver when it came down to buttoning up all the last minute to do's. I was floored by her expertise and genuinely caring attitude toward our wedding. This place treats you like family, if not better.

St. Andrews Golf and Country Club is a beautiful venue and we would highly recommend it! We got married there earlier this month, and the staff was amazing! Jenna Sayers, the coordinator is wonderful! She helped us every step of the way; from checking in frequently to ensure everything is going well during the planning process, to making sure everything was perfect and the way we wanted it on the day of. The entire staff is wonderful; from the General Manager, to the Food & Beverage Manager, to the Executive Chef, to the Pro Shop staff; everyone we encountered at St. Andrews was always friendly, smiling, and more than willing to help! The grounds are well kept, which helped make our ceremony all the more beautiful. All of our guests loved the food, and greatly complimented how beautiful the St. Andrews Room is. All in all, our wedding was great, thanks to the St. Andrews staff, especially Jenna, and we could not have asked for a better coordinator or more beautiful venue.

I recently attended the wedding of the daughter of a long time family friend. I have been here before and noticed that it had been nicely updated again. Our server was very nice and the food was delicious. The bride had a smile on her face the entire night! Between the grounds, the view, and the room, it is a beautiful place to have wedding.
