White Deer Run is the best

Planning a wedding in the middle of a pandemic is not ideal but Heather and Debbie are incredible, not once did we doubt anything about our reception. Heather was very responsive, if you had any questions, big or small she had a quick answer. They were both so helpful in the process of wedding planning, our day went so smoothly because of them and we can't thank them enough. And the food was so good! We did a plated dinner and all the guests said it was delicious. We have nothing but good things to say. We would get married at White Deer Run all over again.

A Perfect Reception!

Heather, the venue coordinator, and the rest of the staff at White Deer are all amazing, professional, and fun. Our reception was so beautiful and the venue looked even better than I had hoped and imagined. Heather was very responsive and helpful throughout the process and she made a stressful time much more calm and easy. White Deer was so easy to work with and I'm so happy we chose them for our wedding reception venue. If I had to go back I would make the same decision!

Amazing and helpful

Heather and Brooke made me feel completely at ease. Their expertise was great and they were very available to answer all of my questions, no matter how minimal or repetitive. They were an amazing team and I would not hesitate to use them again for another event. The venue was beautiful and the food was delicious!! We used them for both the ceremony and reception.

Perfect Day!!!

My husband and I can’t say enough about the staff at White Deer Run!! Our wedding was absolutely perfect, and we have the staff at WDR to thank for that! Our day ran smoothly, every little detail was taken care of. We dropped off our decorations two days before, explained how everything should be set up, and it was done perfectly. Our guests were raving about the food-especially the steak! Jocelyn, the coordinator was absolutely fantastic! She would email me on details that needed to be done, and would respond to me very quickly, answering any questions I had. Weddings can be stressful, and they took that all away! I’m so glad we were married here-I wouldn’t change a thing!! Thank you White Deer Run!!

My husband and I had our wedding here in September and we are so glad that we did! The new catering manager, Kendall, was extremely responsive with e-mails and was willing to make multiple special accommodations for us. On the day of the wedding she helped coordinate and iron out several unexpected details. From the first look by the pond to the end of the night we had constant contact and attention from the staff. We would strongly recommend anyone considering having a wedding in the northwest suburbs to consider White Deer Run!

My husband and I are just so glad to have our ceremony and reception at White Deer Run last month ! From the catering manager Randi to general manager Bob to rest of the whole team are just amazing and so easy to work with. Randi is absolutely the best, every meeting with Randi is super fun. I was really nervous as I didn't have time to prepare for details or to get lots of helpful info from wedding books/websites a few months before my wedding, Randi was just so wonderful, patient, flexible and helpful, by giving me so many good tips, suggestions and recommendations she helped me out a big time to get everything prepared on time!! Working with Randi has been such an easy, pleasurable, fun experience! Her attitude, professionalism and service were just flawless and completely beyond my expectations!
I'd recommend White Deer Run to everyone and want to thank Randi, Bob and their team so much again for making my big day incredibly sweet, beautiful and perfect !!

Nothing but great things about this venue. My husband and I had our reception here in August and they delivered beyond our expectations. The wedding coordinator and catering manager Randi, is experienced and informative. No details were missed. They are accomodating and flexible, and the food is beyond amazing. All of our guests loved this venue! Wish I could relive that day!

We had our wedding at the end of March at White Deer Run. It was a little hidden gem that we luckily stumbled across. We even went to their fish fry to check out the food before we put the deposit down. It did not disappoint! The banquet room really surprises you. It has beautiful views and the chandeliers were absolutely stunning. Randi at White Deer Run was so helpful! She made the day so smooth and was so patient as we agonized over minute details like the color of chair ties! I was a little nervous to just drop all of our decorations off with the understanding that they would put everything up. (I am not from around here and was used to decorating yourself.) I shouldn't have been worried as they did a fantastic job! They listened to everything we said and it was absolutely stunning when we walked in. The day couldn't have gone better! The food was fantastic and the wait staff was so friendly and courteous. My cousins mentioned to me how awesome their waitress was and even took a picture with her. I was so pleased at the end of the night. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. They gave us a wonderful, truly memorable experience! Thank you White Deer Run!

We had our wedding reception at White Deer Run on 1.2.2015 and everything was absolutely perfect. Randi and Cara were amazing to work with and quick to respond to questions. They were on top of everything, and made our day perfect. Our guests could not stop talking about how great the food and service were. The room was the perfect size for us - we only had about 70 people. We were able to go a couple days early to set everything up, which was really nice! The golf course was beautiful to take pictures on and we were able to take the golf carts out to take us to a few locations, which was so fun! The venue was very affordable. All around just a great place to have a wedding. I would highly recommend it to anyone having a small to mid-size wedding. I cannot thank White Deer Run enough for making our wedding day perfect. :)

Our daughter was recently married and the reception at White Deer Run was simply amazing. As with prior reviews we also commend Randi and Cara for doing such a wonderful job. Their professionalism throughout our daughters wedding planning was remarkable. It truly made our daughter feel at ease, especially as the wedding day drew closer. The food was exceptional also. We decided on the beef tenderloin and it was the hit of the wedding. People were asking where did they buy their beef? On behalf of the newly married couple and their families we thank everyone from White Deer Run and highly recommend their venue for a wedding. Or any other event. !
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
