I can’t say enough amazing things about OBBT. Marianne and the rest of the team were amazing to work with by always going above and beyond, promptly answering emails, giving suggestions on layout and decor, and coordinating with all of the vendors on the big day. The layout made for the best experience for every guest with a picturesque formal dining room for dinner, a separate room for our photo booth/snacks, an outdoor area for the dance floor and cocktail hour, and another area as a rain contingency. Guests that don’t love dancing were still able to be outside near the dance floor and feel like they were a part of the party. To top it off, there were three bars making it super easy and fast for guests to get a drink, and there was a beautiful pond in the back for family photos. Amazing location, super private, and stunning reception hall for any event!

We had our ceremony and reception at Oak Brook Bath and Tennis Club on June 25, 2022. Like most couples we scheduled our initial wedding day for June 11, 2021, but had to reschedule. Our point of contact, Marianne, changed our date with no hesitation and completely understood.

We planned our wedding from out of town and Marianne was great to work with from afar. Her communication was always prompt and precise, answering all questions and leaving nothing to question. Our day-of representative worked with our coordinator to ensure all needs were met. The venue required us to utilize their catering service, and both these vendors complimented each other very well.

The venue itself is beautiful. We had 10 tables of 8 people in the main space and it filled out quite nicely. The venue was able to accommodate many more people than our 80, but the venue never looked too large for us. The venue is situated at the end of a long drive, offering the perfect amount of wooded ruggedness that we wanted. While this is a functioning club house, all services were stopped for our ceremony.

During our wedding day, the weather was unfavorable leading up to our ceremony. We had to shift our ceremony to the covered patio adjacent to the open-air patio. The venue did a great job helping us make this decision and ensured things would still run smoothly. For those looking to have their ceremony on the grassy area, it is on a slight rake and slippery when wet. We were concerned with elderly guests injuring themselves, so we opted for the covered patio due to rain.

The venue offers a bridal suite for use during the event, but it is on the smaller side. There was enough room to seat 4 people, but it felt a bit tight. Nonetheless, it was still a great place to store belongings and take a break when needed. Our one problem area was access to the venue prior to the event. They opened the venue 30 minutes before start time and did not allow for on-site pictures before the 30 minute block. If you’re planning to do a first look or pre-event photos here, the 30 minute window is not ideal.

In all, we have nothing but great things to say about the venue and staff. We would highly recommend their services!

What a wonderful venue for our rehearsal dinner. Beautiful setting, inside and outside areas for party, great assistance. I highly recommend this venue.
