Perfect day with Amazing Staff

Our wedding at Idlewild was perfect and went so smoothly. Taryn helped make the planning process a breeze and answered all questions that we had. Day of the wedding, everything was set up beautifully and we got nothing but great compliments from our guests about the food, the staff, and the venue! :)

Idlewild Country Club is the crown jewel of wedding reception venues in Flossmoor - one of Fourth Estate Audio's favorite places to perform. A large elegant space, an attentive staff, superb cuisine, photo spots galore. We've worked with Jennifer and her staff many times, sometimes under trying circumstances, like being forced by rain to swiftly relocate an outdoor wedding ceremony to dry surroundings. They've always been magnificent! Best of all, at Idlewild, you never have to share with another party. You have the entire club to yourself! Highly recommended!
