Nothing short of perfect


We would recommend Kenilworth Assembly Hall to anyone looking for a wedding reception venue. Michelle was an absolute pleasure to work with - even from the first email responding to our inquiry she had tons of information for us to look over. She is very organized and full of ideas which definitely helps make the planning process easier!

For potential wedding pictures - the surrounding area is nothing short of beautiful. There is a lovely fountain out front and a park with benches that are perfect for pictures. There is also the Kenilworth Metra Station for any guests wanting to come by train and has a wonderful sign for more pictures. Kenilworth beach is only about a 10 minute walk as well.

For the venue - we had around 100 guests and were still able to have plenty of space for a cocktail area with high tops and a dance floor. We selected the Dignified liquor package and everyone was pleased with the selection. In addition, Michelle knew the person that we were working with at the catering company by name which shows how vested she is in providing a wonderful experience. She coordinated with the caterer and everything was seamless so that we had nothing to do on the day of the reception and we could just take everything in and enjoy!

Absolutely perfect

We could not have found a more perfect venue for our wedding on July 12, 2025. From the moment we showed up for our tour and met with Monique, we knew Kenilworth was the place for us. The venue is beautiful, historic, and well-maintained, yet the pricing and contract requirements are completely reasonable and fair. We felt comfortable and at home from that very first visit. We also found an excellent caterer (Catered by Design) from their preferred catering list. Monique was a dream to work with--so organized and punctual yet laid-back and flexible. We received so many compliments on the venue from our guests. While we opted to have both our ceremony and reception indoors, Monique allowed us to open up the lawn and patio to guests for cocktail hour, which was absolutely stunning and a huge hit. I would recommend Kenilworth to anyone looking for a wedding venue!

Historic and Understated Elegance

We had our wedding reception at the Kenilworth Assembly Hall and could not be more pleased. From the beginning to the end, the communication and friendly assistance with Michelle was consistent. The venue is lovely, intimate and cozy. We found the bar area and outside patio to be a perfect complement to the dining room. The location of the KAH is outstanding near downtown Evanston and Wilmette which offered many options for dining and lodging for our guests. Kenilworth Assembly Hall is a jewel on the North Shore and would highly recommend.

Such a classy venue

Two weeks ago, we had a gorgeous wedding at the Kenilworth Assembly Hall. The venue was classy and all around beautiful. Michelle was great to work with. She was available and answered my many questions patiently. I highly recommend it.

Decker-Araujo wedding.

They were very friendly, knowledgeable and flexible from the outset. They recommended other vendors that were equally as good. The price was also very reasonable. They adapted to all the changes required by the COVID pandemic with grace and flexibility, and had quick solutions to our last minute tech changes. Michelle was great to work with, and she is the person I would ask for should you choose to talk to this venue. The facility itself was beautiful and added to the experience. All in all it was a great experience.

Love this venue!

The Kenilworth Assembly Hall was the PERFECT venue for our reception. We fell in love with the history and intimacy of the building right off the bat. The planning process went smoothly with a list of preferred vendors and the flexibility to see the venue when needed. Michelle was absolutely fantastic to work with and we couldn't have been happier with how the day went. And the fact that our 140 guests haven't stopped raving about it as well is just a bonus. 10/10, would recommend!!

Beautiful and unique space with charm and warmth! Amazingly high ceilings, beautiful outdoor area, separate cocktail room with fireplace. The venue hosts only one event at a time so you get the entire club to yourself! Great staff - easy to work with! I highly recommend checking this place out for your wedding or any special event!

We had our wedding at the Kenilworth Club and couldn't have been more pleased with our decision. It is a beautiful venue that is somehow simple and extravagant at the same time. Lisa, the club's director was incredibly helpful throughout the entire planning process, and gave us lots of advice and suggestions on vendors and general wedding planning, and quickly answering any questions that we had.

Nick is another Kenilworth employee who helps set up and coordinate everything the day of. He was very behind the scenes and modest and did a fantastic job getting everything put exactly as we had imagined.

It is a truly unique and beautiful venue both inside and out. We had our ceremony outside, cocktail hour in and out, and reception in. It is one of a kind and we received so many compliments on it both the day of and long after.

Everyone at the club is also very attentive to detail. The outside looked flawless on our wedding day, they had a small piano tuned the day before just for good measure, and helped with other small touches as well.

All in all, working with the Kenilworth Club was a breeze and I would recommend it as a wedding venue to anyone looking for a venue different than your typical country club where you can truly make it your own.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
