    Look no further for your wedding venue!

    Bull Valley Golf Club was the first venue I toured after getting engaged and I was sold the minute I walked through the doors. The rustic yet classy vibe they have going on is beautiful and exactly what I envisioned for my big day. I worked with Vickie when I first booked and she was absolutely incredible to work with. She answered all my questions thoroughly and was always extremely kind, professional and responsive. Then I was introduced to Leela, the coordinator provided by the venue. She too was awesome to work with and always answered every little question I had. They executed everything perfectly. And the food is AMAZING! I highly suggest Bull Valley Golf Club for your special day. You won’t be disappointed!

    Amazing Venue

    We have nothing but good things to say about our venue. The staff was amazing and helped us out so much. We decorated the day of, and used the bridal suite to get ready. It was the perfect size for our bridesmaids and flower girl and myself to get ready. Vickie was wonderful with her paperwork and everyone was on the same page of the flow the entire time. They worked with us on EVERYTHING we asked for and could have wanted. At the end of the night, you have to have everything out by 30 mins after your end time but the staff helped us clean up! The food was amazing and the cake company they work with Lovin Oven was WONDERFUL. Everyone loved their food and dessert and drink options. I will be recommending this venue to EVERYONE.

    Rustic & Elegant

    Bull Valley Golf Club was FABULOUS!!! We worked with Vickie Boysen and you would have thought that we were her only client. Vickie is a lovely person inside and out. She is also passionate about her work and was involved with every detail. We could not have done it without her and her team (Hailey was amazing!). And the Chiavari chairs are included in the price - NO UPCHARGE!!! Our wedding was in November, but the Bull Valley grounds were still full of color. Our photographer (Amber Linderman Photography - Barrington, IL) had no problem finding beautiful areas for photos. Stop looking for a venue. Bull Valley is the BEST!!

    Elegant location!

    We fell in love with this place the day of our tour, and booked on the same day. It is BEAUTIFUL there!! It fit our theme perfectly, and our colors. Staff was a pleasure to work with as well. Michael O Ryan Floral & Event Design are one of the preferred vendors there, and they made the venue look like something out of a fairytale. Highly recommend reaching out to Vickie to help you with planning :)

    A Hidden Gem!

    From Rustic to Lavish, Bull Valley can make any bride’s vision a reality. I had such a wonderful experience at Bull Valley - I was a very organized bride and they blew me away with their detail, planning, and they were so kind. Vickie and JoMarie made our special day so perfect - both of them have such a passion for weddings and people. I met with them both several times in-person and via phone, and they were so flexible allowing me to visit the club many times, since I’m a visual person! Never did they make me feel inconvenient, they always made sure they had time for us. Our day was beautiful - it was in October and was supposed to be 60’s and sunny outside, it ended up being 29 degrees and snowing sideways. We wanted our wedding outside so badly, but we looked outside and had such a sigh of relief because Bull Valley took care of our contingency plan to host the ceremony inside. If you have to have a contingency plan for weather (it totally happens!) Bull Valley’s indoor and outdoor ceremony options are BEAUTIFUL! I would never have wanted to be at another venue hosting the ceremony inside - Bull Valley’s indoor option is almost better than outside with their windows, natural light, stone and beautiful scenery outside. I cannot thank JoMarie enough for her assistance the day before and day-of the wedding, she ensured everything was so smooth and perfect. The food was phenomenal - we chose to do buffet with carving stations and our guests would not stop telling us (even to this day) how amazing the food was. It was a perfect day and Bull Valley made sure of it!

    My husband and I got married on August, 18 2018 and it was the best day of my life with help from Vickie, Amy and JoMarie! I cannot Express enough how helpful Amy was on my wedding day. She was seriously a ROCKSTAR! During the planning process Vickie and JoMarie were so helpful and very quick to my hundreds of emails with questions. They made everything so easy and organized! The day of my wedding Amy set up my decorations (I am a very picky where decor should go so I was a little nervous) BUT OH MY GOD did everything look so beautiful! She was very helpful throughout the day checking up on us asking we need drinks or a snack. My photographer even said she has never worked with an event coordinator that good, so I was seriously blessed and spoiled that day! Bull Valley should have over 5 stars because they are amazing to work with!

    We had our wedding here on sept 16th. During the 2 years of planning, vickie and eileen were very helpful with my questions. On the day before the wedding, we met JoMarie who helped us with knowing who was walking when and made sure everything went along smoothly. I loved that we were greated with drinks the second we got onto the patio after our ceremony! Everyone kept talking about how great the filet was, not ONE person had a bad one. We also heard great things about the chicken and vegetarian meal. One recommendation would be to have the staff wait to clear the tables. I was a little bummed when we went back to our table around 10pm to see the staff had removed everything off it, including our cake we didnt get to eat. Other than that, everything was great!

Service was wonderful and I had many guests comment on the great service throughout dinner! I was very impressed and so happy with the way everything turned out. Thank you!

    Eileen, Ember and Mark made our day run perfect. They were there the entire time. Anytime we needed anything or if they had any suggestions to make anything better, they were there. Our guests said the food (appetizers, dinner and late night snacks) were phenomenal!!
    Vickie was also very helpful with getting everything ready for the big day. She also suggested to have our cocktail hour outside since it was 65 degrees on the day we got married.
    We could not have had a better experience with the entire staff at Bull Valley.

    We booked Bull Valley Country Club two years prior to our daughter's wedding. We worked with Vickie who is amazing. She knows her job, very professional and made our reception planning effortless. We also worked with Eileen the day of who also went above and beyond to make our daughter's dream wedding come true. The wait staff very polite and professional and very helpful. They helped us pack up the centerpieces, made sure we were taken care of. We also used the patio as the evening was beautiful.

    My husband and I were just married at Bull Valley on 9/19/2015. We had booked this venue a year ago and primarily worked closely with Eileen. Every aspect of our planning was stress free and easy going. The day before the wedding we were able to go in and set up our extra items (memory table, photos, place cards, centerpieces, etc.) so that we didn't have to worry about setting it up the day of the wedding. What a huge relief and help that was!
    On our wedding day, we were simply blown away. The setup, the staff, and the overall appearance and ambiance was breathtaking. Every detail was attended to and our night was everything we dreamed of. I would suggest this venue to anyone! Thank you to everyone at Bull Valley Golf Club for making our dream wedding come true!

    My daughter had her wedding reception here June 28, 2014. Everything went better than I imagined. Vickie Boysen, Director of Catering, is great at what she does! Knowing Vickie was on top of things made it easy for us to relax and have a great time! The reception was wonderful! Everything went smoothly. The staff was very professional. All I heard from everyone was how nice everything was! The food was delicious!!!! My steak was cooked perfect, one of the best I've ever had (I also heard this from a lot of others). I also heard a lot of raves for the delicious salad.
    We are very happy with everything, Vickie, the beautiful grounds, food,and the professional staff!
    Thank You,

    Vickie Boysen, Director of Catering and Event Sales and staff are beyond professional, knowledgeable, and extended the most gracious and sincere levels of customer service. I went with my daughter and now son-in-law to Bull Valley and were instantly smitten with the beautiful grounds available for the ceremony and gorgeous facility indoors. Vickie was informative and thorough in every way. She was quick to respond by phone or email, in most cases within a few hours, most certainly within the day, when I had a question or concern. We held our wedding on June 21, 2014 and I'm still to receiving phone calls about the amazing service, food and venue! At the last minute due to a storm rolling in Vickie and her staff turned the place around to move the ceremony from outside to inside within 30 minutes! She was calm, organized and prepared in every way. The whole evening went off without a hitch! Bull Valley WILL exceed your expectations, Vickie Boysen WILL exceed your expectations!
    Sincerely,
    Clare Bourne

    My mom and I had gone looking for a place that could hold 180-200 guests as well as accommodate for an outdoor ceremony and indoor reception. We looked at a number of venues and made our way to Bull Valley. When we walked in I could not leave. I fell in love with the two story chimney, wooden dance floor, ceremony overlooking the pond, and floor to ceiling windows. The following weekend my fiancé came with me to look at a few venues and he had the same reaction as I did to Bull Valley.
    We worked closely with Vickie Boysen, the event coordinator for Bull Valley; she helped us put all of our dreams into a fairytale ending. Together we were able to blow away our guests with the views, service, food, and beauty of our wedding. I wish I could plan another event at Bull Valley with how great our experience was.

    I got married at Bull Valley on 8.31.13 and we could not be happier with this venue! It is absolutely gorgeous. We booked last year in March but since then, they have only made it more beautiful. They renovated the placed and it is astounding what they did outside for the ceremony area. My husband and I have been to five weddings this year and have never seen a venue quite like this. All of our guests were quite impressed and not to mention, the wedding coordinator, Vickie, is AMAZE! She is so flexible, kind, does everything and anything you want and is just amazing to work with. And worked so well with our crazy groomsmen... ;) The venue was worth every penny and glad we spent the bulk of our money on location, because that you can't cheap out on.. It's tucked away in a gorgeous scenery and is just fabulous place. If I had a complaint at all, and this is being picky, we did not care too much for the carrots that we chose for our sides for dinner. They were hard as a rock and most people did not eat them. Otherwise, food was fabulous and the place is just to die for. I guarantee your guests will LOVE!!!!

    Love bull valley and love Vickie!

    Thanks so much for everything! You're amazing!

    Love,
    Nicky and Justin xoxoxo

    My guests were absolutely blown away by the beauty, service, style, and fare that Bull Valley had to offer. We had a perfect wedding and I would not have changed a thing. The wedding planner Vickie was so wonderful and made sure we were taken care of the entire day of our wedding. They really do go above and beyond to make your day perfect. You don't feel like a guest when you are there; you feel like family.

    They took time out to see what I needed to make this day so special for my sister-in-law. The chef even came to our room and my oldest daughter was complaining that she had nothing to eat. He left and returned with a cup of fruit for her. It was very thoughtful and made the experience even that much better.
