Crystal Lake Country Club

My husband and I recently got married at the Crystal Lake Country Club and I wouldn't have had it any other way. The staff was flexible, organized, and very professional. We met with Elizabeth several times to work out everything from food choices, to pricing (very reasonable, by the way) to napkin colors, to the order of events on the day of the wedding and she was incredibly helpful through it all. Speaking of the food, each dish was fresh and rich in flavor and I still get compliments about it even 6 months after the wedding. Elizabeth also had a variety of other recommended vendors which is how we chose our DJ and he brought a high energy vibe to keep everyone dancing all night long. She worked very well with all the other vendors from the evening including the florist, photographer, and cake decorator. When I had a moment on the day of my wedding to sneak in and see the venue all set up before anyone arrived, I was absolutely blown away. Everything looked absolutely perfect. Lastly, our photos were gorgeous because of the beautiful setting of the country club. We had plenty of opportunities to shoot with greenery, flowers, and a fountain in the background outside. The natural lighting on the inside of the building made for organic photos of our cake cutting, first dances, speeches, and guests. Overall, booking at the Crystal Lake Country Club resulted in our dream wedding.

It was an amazing experience! Elizabeth was wonderful to work with. Our day was so special and it was a beautiful place. Thank you!

We had the most incredible experience at hosting our wedding at the Crystal Lake Country Club! From start to finish, the staff was so friendly and accommodating — they truly went above and beyond to make our day special. The service was outstanding, and everything ran so smoothly thanks to their attention to detail. Everyone was happy to jump in and help. Elizabeth was so easy to work with and let us stop by many times to help us plan out our wedding vision. The golf course is perfect for photos, the patio is beautiful for cocktail hour, and the indoor space was large enough to fit us all comfortably- including with a full dance floor. One of the highlights for us was how thoughtful they were about dietary needs. Chef Brian met with us to create a gluten free menu. They provided delicious gluten-free options that were perfect for all of our guests. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate — highly recommend!!!

The Crystal Lake Country Club made my wedding day and planning process a breeze. The staff was amazing, food was delusion, and on top of it all the venue is absolutely beautiful. My guests had nothing but amazing things to say. They raved about the service and the food. Elizabeth was amazing to work with. She had great communication, was accommodating, and made the whole wedding planning so easy/enjoyable. The Crystal Lake Country Club was truly fantastic. They took care of everything and truly allowed me to enjoy my wedding day! I would highly recommended you book CLCC for your wedding day or anything future events you have!

I can't say enough wonderful things about the CLCC staff and experience! I hosted my sister's engagement party at CLCC and was blown away by their level of professionalism and flexibility. With hosting an event during this uncertain time (COVID), I wasn't sure how everything would pan out but Kara, Kate and the entire team blew me away. They went above and beyond to ensure that my guests were taken care of and enjoyed themselves. I would absolutely recommend hosting an event at CLCC. Thank you to this remarkable team for all they did!

The Crystal Lake Country Club was the last place my husband and I toured when we were looking to book a venue. As soon as we walked in we knew right away it was the place for us! With almost 200 guests and wanting to have an outdoor ceremony, the Country Club checked all the boxes. But one of the best parts was THE PRICE! I can't express to you enough how reasonably priced the packages were. On top of that, the food was unbelievable! We still receive cards and texts to this day, telling us how beautiful the wedding was and how badly they crave the spinach raviolis. True story! With a room full of Italians, the toughest food critics of them all, you know the food was awesome when it still leaves an impression 4 months later! Along with the great food, the service was amazing. Everything was served hot and on a timely manner. Honestly, that is how the whole day went, perfect. I was warned by others that no matter what, something was going to go wrong on your wedding day. For months leading up to the day, I was preparing myself knowing that at least one thing was going to go wrong. Not us! Dedra, the General Manager, strived to make your day absolutely perfect and that is exactly what happened. Every detail I gave her was done and implemented the day of. The staff did an awesome job. I am truly one of the biggest advocates for the Crystal Lake Country Club. I tell everyone and anyone to go check it out when I hear couples are looking for a venue. We traveled far and near and nothing can compare to what you found here. I highly recommend and I am happy to be a reference.

We had our wedding at Crystal Lake Country Club in July, 2018. Everything was amazing. Such a caring, wonderful staff. The food was terrific and planning easy. Words cannot express the beautiful setting. Pictures are proof. Highly recommend this venue. Great club all around.

BEAUTIFUL space and caring, professional staff!! My Aunts hosted my Bridal Shower at CLCC and It was an absolute dream come true. The space was decorated beautifully, staff was very accommodating and the food and drinks were exceptional. We had the pleasure of working with Dedra for my special day. She was with us every step up the way! Her attention to detail and caring demeanor, along with her wonderful staff, truly made for the perfect day. I highly recommend CLCC for any special event or private party!

We can't say enough good things about Gary and his staff at CLCC. First of all, the total wedding package included passed hors d'ouvres, plated dinner, cake, coffee, wine with dinner, alcoholic beverages, and bartending/waitstaff service. This setup made it easy to plan pricing, as we weren't being nickel and dimed along the way.

Secondly, the pricing on the packages was fantastic. In addition to the fantastic prices, the food was TOP quality as well. CLCC always does a lovely job with their food, and our wedding was no exception. We got compliments on everything from the salad and rolls all the way to the entrees and coffee bar. This is a place where you can serve your guests chicken to save some money and still be ensured that the meal will be unique and delicious.

Third, the outside vendor CLCC used for our cake (since, at the time, they did not have an in-house pastry chef, although this changes from year to year, and when they DO have one, she is fantastic) was great. The cake was tasty and GORGEOUS. I never had to go for a tasting or to oversee that the cake was being made as I envisioned. I described what I wanted, and I got exactly that.

Lastly, this place doesn't mess up. Gary is a consummate professional-- responsive, courteous, timely, and straighforward. He lets you know well in advance what is allowed (for example, alternative floor plans or table layouts) and what isn't (for example, votive candles on the window sills). There are no last-minute "issues" with Gary. And he manages his staff well. There is NEVER a server who presents him/herself to you or your guests with anything less than a smile. You never wait for food or for your emplty plate to be removed or your drink filled. The impression your guests leave with at CLCC is that you spent a lot of money to ensure they were treated like long-standing members of the club, even thought most of them are first-time visitors, and what you really got was a bargain.

I really could go on and on-- billing/invoicing was easy, the room was lovely, and CLCC worked well with my planner. And the location couldn't be better-- our wedding was in the fall and at this time of year the foliage around CLCC is phenomenal.

I also had my rehearsal dinner here, and my baby shower. They've also catered several events at our home-- the fact that our wedding went well was NOT an anomaly. Superior service is par for the course at CLCC (pardon the pun!).

Everything was beautiful!
