Eaglewood Resort and Spa Reviews

With beautiful scenery outdoors and lovely décor indoors, Eaglewood Resort is a great venue for wedding celebrations. The space is very clean and the staff is welcoming, accommodating, and wonderful to work with for any event. Their entire team is fabulous!

I got married last June and my experience was amazing. Eileen and her team made me feel so excited and kept me at ease our entire wedding. Everything turned out beautiful. It rained, but the Eaglewood team had a plan A, B and C. I would recommend Eaglewood for a wedding venue and weekend getaway.

My husband and I came across Eaglewood when our initial wedding venue canceled on us. While we were distraught this had happen it was a blessing in disguise. We got married 2/3/2024 with about 250 guest and it was the most perfect day. We choose to do a off season winter wedding for a few reasons:
1. I personally always wanted a white snow winter wedding. Even though we didn’t have snow it was still perfect.
2. After the holidays and the long winters in Chicago a February wedding gave everyone something to look forward to. This was our thought process and feedback we got from our guests.
3. It ended up being more cost effective. Peak season a lot of places tend to be higher priced. Off season a lot of places will give a small discount.

Eileen was wonderful to work with and very response from start to finish. We had our rehearsal dinner the night before at the bar downstairs with food catered through them. The ceremony, and reception were in the banquet hall, with cocktail hour in the hallway. The following day we did a fair well brunch for everyone who stayed at the hotel in the restaurant they have. This was also a big hit and we choose the voucher option they offer where only the guests who have vouchers we would end up paying for. For us good food was a priority on our list. If good food is one of your priorities then this is for sure the venue. We are almost a year out and people are still talking about how great the food was at our wedding. Most people did the filet and prawns option but we also had chicken and pasta options as well that were fantastic. Everyone said and continues to say the cocktail hour food and 4 course dinner is one of the best they have had a wedding.

I would encourage anyone looking for a place that provides it all up to the lodging for the guest to look here. It was the most cost effective place we found that gave a certain architectural elegance and not your normal banquet hall atmosphere. I know summer and fall weddings are highly sought after but don’t totally cut out the idea of an off season wedding. Along with the benefits listed above we also had the venue to ourselves and no other weddings going on which was also extremely nice!

I don't even know where to start - our wedding was at the Eaglewood on 9/7/24 & it was so incredibly perfect. From the beginning, Eileen, was so responsive, professional & helpful throughout the whole wedding planning process. Even though Eileen was busy with other events, she always made sure to respond to my emails. At our tasting, she had a detailed list of things to discuss to ensure there was nothing that we were missing for our wedding, which I greatly appreciated. We had our hotel block at the Eaglewood & from the moment, myself & any guest walked through the doors, the staff was incredibly knowledgable & helpful. I had a lot of things to bring to my room & two staff members, helped me bring all my things up! Our rehearsal was also at the Eaglewood & my guests could not stop raving about how amazing the food was. The compliments for the food continued the following day for the wedding as well! I also received compliments on how gorgeous the resort is! Our wedding photos highlight how gorgeous the golf course & Pavillon are. Again, I truly cannot recommend the Eaglewood more! Our wedding was absolutely perfect & I am beyond happy on how great everything was.

We host our work holiday party at Eaglewood with the help of Eileen Miller and we have for years. Eileen and the staff are willing to accommodate small requests, and are very helpful the day of the event. Our party is in Prairie River restaurant and it has a cozy atmosphere but plenty of space for our ~100 guests. The food is quite good and there are several options for gluten free and vegan. The only thing I would like is an actual vegan dessert that isn't fruit. But the location is convenient and I think the rooms are fairly priced for a group rate.

Overall, we enjoy Eaglewood and plan to return next year for our event.

Our May wedding day at Eaglewood was nothing short of magical! The outdoor ceremony on the golf course was the perfect backdrop to say “I DO;” the Wisteria Rooftop Terrace offered plenty of space for mingling during cocktail hour; and The Pavilion was transformed into an enchanting reception retreat. My husband and I ended the evening in one of the penthouse suites, and although we had many stairs to climb, the room and views from the balcony were worth every step. I can’t sing enough praise for Eileen, her staff, and everyone else at Eaglewood who went above and beyond to make our day so very special!

We were beyond happy with our wedding experience at Eaglewood Resort and Spa this past September. We looked at several venues around the suburbs, some with very similar offerings, but we both felt pulled to Eaglewood. From the first tour to our tasting to the rehearsal to our reception, our wedding experience was truly wonderful.

The property is gorgeous, especially if you are hoping to do a part of your wedding outdoors. We were lucky to have great weather for our ceremony and cocktail hour to be outside, and our reception was in the pavilion. We had envisioned a bright and airy reception space that twinkled at night and were so impressed with how it turned out. The pavilion is spacious, has floor to ceiling windows, and even has a balcony off the front overlooking the golf course. Our wedding ceremony was out on the grass behind the hotel and it was so special to have it out in nature and be able to take photos out around the property.

The food was absolutely delicious and we got many compliments on it. We loved it at our tasting and were so excited share it with our guests. The bar staff were able to accommodate our "signature drinks" for the evening and we also got many compliments on those.

The real MVP of our experience with Eaglewood was our wedding coordinator, Andrea. She was extremely professional and went above and beyond to help make our wedding dreams come true. She kept in close touch with us throughout the whole process, patiently answering our questions (of which there were many!), offering valuable advice and insights, working seamlessly with our vendors, and keeping us on track. She ensured things were set up and looking right on the wedding day and checked in with us throughout the day. We always felt we could count on her, and are so thankful for her partnership in making our day a dream.

We are also very thankful to the rest of the wedding and hotel staff who took great care of our guests, helped us haul in our decor, served our amazing dinner, set up our spaces, and much more.

The hotel itself was wonderful. We, our families, and a few dozen guests stayed there, and it was really convenient to be able to get ready and have everything take place at one location. It's quite a central location if you are in the Chicago suburbs and the parking is great as well.

We could picture ourselves getting married there when we first glimpsed the outdoor ceremony space, and we are so happy we did. We highly recommend Eaglewood as a venue!

We had a wonderful experience having our wedding rehearsal, ceremony, and reception at the Eaglewood Resort. Big shout out to their event coordinator, Eileen Miller. She is highly professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and kind. Our wedding day was rainy and unfortunately need to move everything indoor the last minute. She was quickly able to accommodate our needs and had her team set up the indoor venue right away. The food was also excellent, our guests complimented them so much! Their price is very reasonable and incorporates many amenities. Highly recommend!!! (Btw, excellent driving of the golf cart, my husband loved it!)

We got married at Eaglewood Resort and Spa in March of 2024 and cannot recommend it enough. From the moment I sent my first inquiry email, Eileen was extremely responsive and informative. She walked me through every step of the wedding day process to ensure it ran smoothly. Everyone on her team is professional and kind and work to ensure your needs are met. If you are planning on having out of town guests, there is nothing better than the attached hotel. As a bonus, we were told it was the best wedding food people have had!

Eileen and her team were phenomenal! Throughout the entire process they communicated and answered any questions we had. On our wedding day, Eileen and her team went above and beyond. Everyone was incredibly attentive and made our wedding day absolutely perfect. We got so many compliments on how beautiful the venue was and how delicious the food was. We cannot recommend Eaglewood Resort and Spa enough!

Given what this venue costs, wasn’t impressed with how the day turned out. To name a few things, I had a good friend of mine sing me and the bridal party down the aisle, but instead of hearing her, all I heard was static from their crappy speakers. We added on champagne to be served before the ceremony and was told one of the servers spilled a whole tray on some of the guests. We had a really cute cake topper that somehow ended up being thrown away by one of the employees. Not sure how that happened, when the box was literally labeled cake topper.
I know not everything goes perfectly on the wedding day, but it just felt like it was one hiccup after another.
If I could go back and do it all over again, would probably choose a different venue.

We can not say enough great things about our wedding at Eaglewood Resort & Spa this past November. It was the perfect weekend from start to finish. The workers and staff at Eaglewood are all friendly and genuinely happy for you. The views are beautiful both indoors and outdoors for our wedding pictures. We still are getting comments about how tasty our food was even over a month later. The service was FANTASTIC. The best part of our experience was working with Eileen. She helped us through the entire process. We appreciated her honesty, responsiveness, and genuine care throughout the entire planning process and our wedding day. We would highly recommend Eaglewood for any event.

Nothing short of amazing. Eileen was great and made sure everything was in line for the day as well as made everything stress free. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Eileen Miller and the team at Eaglewood were fantastic to work with for our two-day wedding in July! We did a small Indian wedding the first day and a big western wedding the second day. From the start, the team at Eaglewood was accommodating and flexible to make our dream wedding a reality.

Their familiarity with Indian weddings, various event spaces and on-site activities ensured that our guests had a fantastic experience throughout our wedding weekend. The food and attention to detail were top notch, as was the Eaglewood team’s ability to recommend other vendors and work seamlessly throughout the weekend.

They also made helpful suggestions throughout the wedding process to make sure we took advantage of all their venue had to offer, without being too overbearing or annoying at any time.

We cannot say enough good things about this wedding venue!

Eaglewood resort and spa was the absolute perfect venue for our wedding!! I knew I wanted an all in one venue, ceremony, reception, and lodging all in one, and Eaglewood was the perfect place. Robb was our main point of contact, his communication was amazing, fast, and professional. He answered all of my questions, made sure I had all of the exact details I wanted, and made sure the day went so smooth. All of the staff at Eaglewood was so nice and friendly, it truly is a resort hidden in the Chicago suburbs. The food selection was outstanding and delicious, we received so many compliments. Robb also made sure to let me know everything that was gluten free!! And walking to our penthouse suite after the wedding was the best after such a long day, and we had a bottle of champagne and chocolate covered strawberries waiting for us! They also made sure the suite was spotless when we came back to our room. We enjoyed it so much was stayed for 2 extra nights after the wedding and cannot wait to return for our one year anniversary.

We had both our ceremony and reception and Eaglewood. We worked with Lori through all of our planning. She was responsive, flexible, and so easy to talk with! The food at the reception was exceptional. We received so many compliments on it. Eaglewood ultimately made our wedding spectacular. If we could do it all over again, we'd choose Eaglewood over and over!

We had our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception at Eaglewood. We liked the idea of having all events for the wedding in one central location.
Our ceremony was on the golf course. The golf course was well maintained, so the backdrop of our wedding was beautiful. The staff set up a table in the front for our unity ceremony and tables in the back for our DJ and programs.
Our cocktail hour was on the Wisteria Terrace. The guests seems to enjoy cocktail hour, all the delicious appetizers, and watching us on the golf course as we took our photos.
Our reception was located at the Pavilion. We absolutely loved the Pavilion. Our original wedding coordinator was Rob, but after not hearing back from him, we reached out he had left Eaglewood. Lori became our event coordinator. She was very helpful during our food tastings, all the emails back and forth with questions. The week before the wedding, she let us know that she was going on vacation during our wedding, so another coordinator (another Lori) became our wedding day coordinator. Lori was also very very helpful during our rehearsal and on wedding day.

We had an absolute blast on our wedding day, and would definitely recommend Eagelwood Resort & Spa.

The venue was beautiful and we received many compliments! We wanted a room with windows and it was exactly what we wanted...windows, spacious (no one felt cramped), fit a dance floor (we didn't want tables to be removed), champagne parade, uplighting, etc. Our only complaint is that our original event coordinator left, during the planning stage, and then the next coordinator left, too. So, by the time of our wedding reception we were talking to our 3rd coordinator. Everything went smoothly but it stressed me out a bit. Otherwise, it was gorgeous and they were very attentive the night of...asking constantly if we needed anything and didn't bother us with little things so we could enjoy the night.

Beautiful wedding venue! From the second we walked into the gorgeous lobby we just felt like it was the place for our wedding. Upon meeting Robb our wedding coordinator, it solidified our choice to book Eaglewood. Robb was so much fun to work with and had an incredible amount of excitement and energy. He was very quick to respond and accommodated us with every request. The day of our wedding we were nervous as everyone always says there will be things that do not go as planned. I must say, I have never seen or heard of any hotel/venue go to the lengths that Eaglewood did to make sure that my wife and I were happy with every aspect of our special day. There were things that didn’t go perfectly, but our Eaglewood Captain Margaret and the Banquet Manager Sydney bent over backwards to help us through our evening. It was very comforting knowing that the Eaglewood team was truly there to support us through every aspect of the night. My wife was having some issues getting the dressed bustled before the walk-ins, and while the bridesmaids were working to get her ready, our Captain Margaret was right there checking in, bringing her food, water, and anything else she needed. Throughout the night, she checked in and got us drinks, and was very patient during time of stress. The resort has a bar downstairs that is open until 2AM. Our reception ended at 10PM, and the bar downstairs kept our party going until we finally closed the place at around 2:30! That was a really nice aspect of our evening we didn’t really think about beforehand, but it was great to be able to have someplace right there to extend the evening.
The resort is amazing. I cannot wait until our 1 year complementary anniversary stay so I can check out the golf course and some of its others amenities.

We had an incredible experience with Robb and the entire Eaglewood staff! We had several specific requests and Robb was more than willing to modify the packages to fit our vision. The staff was attentive, the food was excellent and we received numerous compliments on both the food, service, and overall venue.

My experience of having my wedding at Eaglewood could not have been better! My ceremony was on the golf course followed by cocktail hour on the upstairs outdoor terrace and the reception in the tented pavillion. Everything was so beautiful and our guests can't stop raving about how AMAZING the food was! Every staff member we encountered was attentive, professional, and made sure they went above and beyond to make my day perfect. We worked with Michelle and couldn't have been happier with her from the start. I referred to her as my fairy god mother since anything I wanted or any question I asked got taken care of immediately. Everything about my wedding day ran smoothly and was completely perfect. I couldn't be happier with my choice of using Eaglewood!

We were very happy with our choice of Eaglewood for our ceremony and reception. It was wonderful having everything take place in on spot! Loved working with Michelle, she was very responsive and always willing to help answer my hundreds of questions. It would be nice if they had gotten ahead a bit on some of the questions with some information ahead of time explaining some common items like what exactly they provide and how things will be set up, taken down, choices you need to make, etc. instead of having to figure it all out along the way. Everything went pretty well the day of the wedding. Some weather issues caused us some problems - but I would say Eaglewood (Michelle in particular) handled it all with grace. Beautiful resort and space to get married! If we had been able to do our ceremony outdoors as planned it would have been gorgeous (can't control the weather though!) The service throughout the night was wonderful - and the food was great, and that is something I will not say about most weddings I have attended. We also took advantage of Keglers - the bowling alley and bar on site and hosted our rehearsal dinner there. So much fun!

My event coordinator at the Eaglewood was Michelle. Michelle was great over the 16 months working with her, but she would forget things sometimes that we had previously discussed, so I would recommend doing most of your communication via email.

Overall, I had a good experience working with them over the time leading up to my wedding. While I had an incredible day on my wedding day, all of the little things that did go wrong (or didn't go quite right), were due to the Eaglewood staff: The venue used a laptop connected to the projector for the slideshow, and the laptop died a few minutes before the end of the slideshow (there was even a pop up warning about the low battery halfway through the slideshow). We had asked to have the breakfast coupons given to the B & G, not to the guests, but 5 coupons were given out to guests before we checked in and corrected the mistake. Additionally, our guest book was not put with the rest of our items, so it never made it out to get signed (which I'm actually really bummed about because we had painted these big wooden letters of our initials that we were going to hang up in our home).

However, after letting Michelle know about these issues, she has compensated us for them. Of course, I would have preferred they not happen at all, but at least they didn't just say "too bad."

As I said, I had a great wedding and a great time at my wedding, but I would have liked more members of the Eaglewood staff to understand that, while they have to work multiple weddings each day, or each weekend, each couple only gets the one wedding, and the little details matter. In reality, probably only 2 or 3 people at Eaglewood actually made these mistakes, of the maybe 30 people that had something to do with my event, and these things were more annoying than actually damaging, so none of these were the end of the world.

Overall: beautiful venue, very accommodating, would recommend.

AMAZING VENUE!! We couldn't have ask for a better day at this stunning resort. From day one, Robb and Lori made us feel comfortable and guided us throughout our wedding planning period. They went above and beyond, not just on our wedding day but any time we contacted them with questions. While we were searching for wedding venues, we were running into having to have so many vendors and the price was getting steeper and steeper. With Eaglewood, the catering is in-house and with any of the wedding packages you choose, you will receive much more than you feel you pay for which was very nice. They were extremely detailed oriented and made our special day exceed our expectations. The pictures of the resort and their weddings made us interested in the location, but seeing the resort in person sealed the deal. What a great venue!!
