Cress Creek Wedding Reception

I would write paragraphs upon paragraphs if I could! Cress Creek was absolutely more than we could ask for in a wedding venue! We worked with Kelly as we planned our special day, and she was beyond amazing to work with - extremely accommodating, attentive to detail, and always looking after all our needs. Everything fell into place so so smoothly as we prepared for our big day. I felt super blessed because everyone told me it would be the most stressful planning experience ever, but it wad the exact opposite at Cress Creek! Literally, out every detail was figured out and delightfully responded to, it made planning our wedding an actually delightful experience! Not at all like the so many "horror stories" I'd heard! Oh, and did I mention that the grounds are absolutely gorgeous?!?! Even if you're photographer is not at all talented (ours was quite talented ☺️) but even if he wasn't, I think anyone could have captured stunning pictures given just how naturally beautiful and scenic the golf course is! Beautiful, traditional venue backdrop, some fun water features, and carefully curated lawns make for some stunning scenery nestled right near downtown Naperville. Such a peaceful spot! Plus, everyone we met on the golf course was SO friendly! Definitely recommend taking some pictures in downtown Naperville or any of the many forest preserves around as well! Cress Creek is in the perfect spot! And there's more! The food was right on, when we went for the tasting we were floored and I think they honestly nailed it even harder for the actual reception (which is hard to believe given just how good it already was!) Literally though, it wasn't just us who were impressed, we had COUNTLESS guests who were so incredibly impressed with the food and service! Even my grandma, who worked for a top catering company in downtown Chicago for many years (which makes her extremely critical of food, especially at her grandchildren's weddings) said that everything was "perfect" (which in my opinion is the highest praise they could have possibly received). Mouth watering, let me tell you. And did I mention that the staff are some of the friendliest, most inviting, and kind people ever! I have personally had some bad experiences with venue staff at other places, which can really be a doozy at such a joyful celebration, but we had the most positive experiences! Even some of the waitresses came up to us to personally talk to us and give us their well wishes at the end of the night! What a delightful experience! I could honestly go on and on, but what I want to say is that, if you've gotten to the end of this review, kudos to you! Now go and book your wedding reception at Cress Creek and hope and pray that they have your date open! They are truly a hidden gem! And if you're lucky enough to get to have your reception there, I'm so happy for you! ☺️ We were absolutely so so blessed to be able to host our reception at Cress Creek, and will hold so many fond memories of this special place for many years to come!!

Best day of our lives!

Best day of our lives! Cress Creek was so accommodating and made the planning process so incredibly fun. McKenna & Kelly helped us bring our vision to life, and made sure every detail was accounted for. Day of - everything was perfect! The layout was incredible for our larger party, and the service was OUTSTANDING. All of the staff were so kind & made sure everything was timely, no one had to wait for drinks or food. The food was delicious & hot, the chef is amazing. All of our guests were sure to tell us how great everyone was! It was such a blast and loved seeing them have a great time that night dancing to the band!!! Couldn't recommend more. :)

Gorgeous Country Club Wedding Venue!

We had another amazing wedding at Cress Creek Country Club! This is the second wedding we have done at Cress Creek in the last three years. Kelly, the Catering manager, is awesome and makes it easy. The food is 5 star quality! The service outstanding! The pictures from the veranda and grounds are gorgeous. It is simply the best on all accounts!!!

Couldn't Have Done It Without the Cress Creek Team

No surprise, any couple going through with a 2020 wedding had some obstacles, but I have to say- I consider myself so lucky to have had Cress Creek as my venue. It was truly white glove service. It felt like I had a team of people helping with how unbelievably responsive, flexible, helpful and accommodating everyone there was. Kelly was on almost every email between my mom and I going over not just the order of events and the "need to know" information for the venue- She helped with colors, how many candles, table shapes, decorations, photographer timelines... everything. She would answer my most random middle of the night questions in what felt minutes, she dealt with surprise pop ins through out the year of family members who wanted a tour of the venue and kept me in check with due dates and timelines (I was changing things coming into the week-of and she took it all in stride.) Kelly became a true lifeline for my mom and I.

Beyond Kelly (who I can't rave about enough), the food was INCREDIBLE. At the tasting we sat with the Chef who walked through the menu options and even let us get "creative" because everything was so good we couldn't decide. I was raving to friends and family about how good our food was going to be, and at the event it was somehow even better! I had SO many people tell me it was not only the best "wedding food" but one of the best DINNERS they've had.

The team, food, drinks, dancing, outdoor space... there wasn't anything I was left wanting. 100% recommend!

Simply the Best!

I had to plan my wedding much more quickly than I anticipated and working with Kelly and everyone at Cress Creek made it so easy and enjoyable. They truly went above and beyond. I met with Kelly one day and she walked me through all the key things and provided great recommendations for other vendors we would need. Kelly was very responsive to all my questions. Day of the wedding, they went above and beyond to make sure the room looked fantastic and the event went smoothly. The golf course is great for photos and the room was beautiful. The veranda is a great addition to the space especially for cocktail hour. The food was also fantastic! Everyone at the wedding kept raving about the food. I would highly recommend Cress Creek Country Club as an all around fantastic place to host your wedding. I am so grateful to everyone at Cress Creek for helping make my wedding day so unforgettable.

Cress Creek Country Club

We pulled off a “perfect pandemic wedding” at CCCC and honestly would not have changed one thing! Kelly and her staff are so knowledgeable and helpful in every way- from 1year out planning until the day of the event. We had every confidence that what we asked of her and the staff at CCCC could be made possible. Our vendors worked seamlessly with guidance from Kelly. The meal was excellent and was raved about among those who attended. The club was glowing and transformed into the modern rustic, moody elegant venue we were hoping for. We cannot speak highly enough of our wedding experience at Cress Creek Country Club!

October Wedding Success

Kelly, we can’t thank you enough for being there for us throughout the entire process. For someone like me, who was anxious about everything, you we’re always there to reassure me that everything would be great. And it was! It was better than I could have ever imagined. From the phenomenal food to the beautifully put together room, I couldn’t have asked for more! Look no further, Cress Creek is a no brainer.

Outstanding!

This is the place for a low stress, beautiful, delicious and memorable wedding reception. This was our second reception. We got married on my family farm out of state and then did a second reception for my husband's family and our Chicago friends at Cress Creek. With already planning one wedding out of state, we were looking for something that was not going to add too much to the stress. We went to Cress Creek because it was well rated and we new some people who golfed there. We were honestly shocked at how easy it was. We attribute our decision to chose Cress Creek almost entirely because of Kelly, the event coordinator. She was eager, so nice, didn't oversell anything, understood our wishes and executed them beyond expectation. She is the reason we were able to actually enjoy the party. She took care of everything, guestbook set up, decorations, last minute changes, video set up, and checked with us throughout the night to see if we needed anything. I cannot say enough thanks to her. Also, the FOOD was delicious. We had so much fun at the tasting and the actual food the night of did not disappoint. Many people made comments about how surprisingly good it was for a served dinner. We did the duet and the herb sauce on the chicken is the best sauce I have ever had on chicken, ever. Also, try the potatoes dauphine. So good. In summary, you cannot go wrong here. It is the entire package and it was outstanding.

Incredible!

Oh my goodness where do we even begin with this venue! Cress Creek is absolutely incredible. Kelly, the catering director, is beyond fantastic! She made sure everything was INCREDIBLE and even better than I would have dreamed of. The food is out of this world! From the appetizers to the main course, and the wedding cake everything was fantastic. The venue offers spaces for beautiful photos. The staff is so friendly and helpful with everything! We cannot say enough about Cress Creek and how amazing their team is! 100% would book an event with Kelly again! She's the best ever!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
