We found Valley Lo by pure chance and luck, and we are so grateful! Valley Lo is a hidden gem in Glenview on a beautiful lake. Although it is a very private club, they are very welcoming to brides and their guests. We had the pleasure of working with Gail for two years (they only book a year in advance), and it was definitely worth the wait! There is something very special and unique about Valley Lo, it has a "boat house" feel, yet classy and modern all at the same time. We knew Valley Lo was our venue the moment we walked in. You feel at home and relaxed; Gail and her team attends to each detail and makes sure that everyone feels welcomed. There is the reception area, bar area, a sitting area, and a porch outdoor area--Valley Lo caters to all guests needs and every location has a picturesque view. There was not one complaint from any guest, and everyone LOVED the food! Several people came up and would say, "I have never had 'wedding food' like that before!" We had the Pretzel Crusted Chicken and Filet Mignon Duo, even our cousin who is a chef was impressed! As for cost, it is totally worth the money, Gail worked with us so we met the minimum and not a penny over, which was amazing! We cannot thank Gail and her staff for an incredible wedding, our guests are STILL talking about the wedding (and food!) and its been over 2 weeks! Thank you!
