    Perfect Winter Venue

    We got married here on December 1st and I’m so happy we chose this venue! When you choose Kilbuck you get to check venue, hotel, and caterer off your list as they have an incredible caterer (Costa’s) for you to work with and you can rent out the cabin for you and your bridal party to stay. We ended up renting the main lodge and the two side cabins so our parents could stay with us as well. We had them two nights so we were able to have an intimate rehearsal dinner the night before at the cabin which is just another thing I didn’t have to worry about! But wait there is more! You also get the amazing Branigan. Branigan is the event planner and was with me every step of the way in planning. She gave incredible advice and we talked thought everything during our meetings. She even came the day of after unexpected rain caused the plans for our ceremony to change. This would have stressed me out but Branigan figured out a plan and executed it flawlessly. I felt taken care of the entire process and cannot say enough amazing things about the staff. From the cleanup crew, planners, and other event staff everyone was absolutely a dream to work with. The space for your reception is also already to beautiful you don’t need many decorations to make it feel complete. I was actually able to set up early which was a huge help. Thank you Branigan, Mona, and the entire Kilbuck team for your help in making my wedding perfect! My family and I are already planning another stay there because we loved it so much!

    Book it book it book it!

    Such a BEAUTIFUL venue, it made our wedding day just PERFECT!!! I would recommend anyone and EVERYONE to get married here. There’s nothing better than getting to stay at one gorgeous location for your rehearsal dinner and wedding day/night. Trust me it saves A LOT of stress. I was able to set my decorations up days in advance, we had our hair and makeup come to us so we didn’t have to worry about being anywhere. Everything was just perfect. Your day will be unforgettable!!

    Dream Wedding

    We could not have had a better wedding and Kilbuck Creek is the dream venue. The ceremony site is gorgeous and required very little added decor, the reception hall was the same. The guest house really clinched it for us though. We had all our wedding party and out of town friends stay the night before and the night of the wedding so we got extra time to catch up. Seriously some of the most fun nights ever. All of the Kilbuck staff were delightful and so easy to work with. Mona was easy to contact with questions and the planners/coordinators Branigan and Nina really made the planning and wedding day go smoothly. Perfect wedding. 💒

    Thanks so much for your review! We are so thrilled that your wedding was everything you dreamed of!

    Wonderful and incredibly helpful

    Our wedding was an absolute hit! Everyone had a wonderful time, planning with Branigan made my life less stressful and we had everything done 6 months into the wedding planning. Could not have asked for a better place to get married, people are still talking about how awesome the venue was.

    Best day ever

    Branigan and the whole kilbuck crew were amazing throughout the whole process. She knew when to offer expert advice and when to make all my wild ideas come true. Everything felt effortless, she was always a phone call or text away with all of the questions I would of course come up with AFTER our meetings. The venue was beautiful, minimal decorating because the space is so beautiful. Our guests were amazed as soon as they walked in the door. I would not have changed a thing, kilbuck is a great place for any event.

    Many Blessings!

    The Perfect Getaway

    Kilbuck Creek is the perfect place for a rustic, country, outdoorsy wedding. We fell in love with the natural beauty surrounding the venue. The staff and caterers are absolutely amazing. We really love this place and will be back to celebrate other events there too!

    Look no further...you found your venue! As an experienced Chicagoland Wedding Officiant, I must say that my every officiating experience with Kilbuck Creek has been a joy! Some venues are not only overly expensive, but also pretentious and difficult to work with. No one wants that on one of the most important days of their life. Branigan and her team give you a wedding day experience that will keep you calm, collected, and smiling all the way. It’s worth the short drive to this picturesque haven in the country. Make sure you check it out and tell Branigan that Rev. Brad from The Wedding Rev. sent you. You’ll be glad you did!

    I can't even begin to explain how AMAZING Kilbuck was to work with. Branigan (Kilbuck's wedding coordinator) was on top of everything and works with you every step of the way and is always a call, text or email away. She sets up meetings along the way to keep you on track! We stayed for the full weekend and it was well worth it, I recommend it to all brides! You don't feel rushed the morning of your wedding, plus it's a great time to be with all your family, friends and bridal party! The entire staff was extremely helpful, especially Shelly who was our day of coordinator. All they want for you to do is enjoy your day! You honestly can't go wrong when you choose this for your venue! If you are looking for a woodsy/rustic wedding then this is the place! Costa's is the caterer for the venue and I can't even begin to tell you how good their food is and how many compliments I received from our guests! They are NOT your typical wedding food you see at every single wedding. It's AMAZING. Our day was a dream come true and I wouldn't have changed a single thing!

    This place is absolutely beautiful! I love how hard they work to make sure your day is perfect! I also love the fact that my family and my husband's family could stay the night before, along with our bridal party. It made it into an even bigger party!

    My husband and I were thrilled when we came to Kilbuck Creek. It had everything we wanted for our rustic wedding and the ceremony site made me change my mind about outdoor ceremonies! It was stunning! You truly do not need to add anything to this venue to make it perfect since it is incredible all on its own.
    As far as the staff goes, they were above and beyond helpful and accommodating to us. Branigan's quick responses to our emails and questions, along with her amazing team on our big day, made everything cookie-cutter for us. We are so happy to have used them for our wedding venue!
    We also highly recommend going the route we did and renting the house for the night of your wedding and enjoying the extra quality time with your Bridal Party and immediate family. It was so fun bringing both families together and was a night we won't forget!

    Magical Venue

    Having our wedding at Kilbuck Creek was truly the most magical time of our lives. Nothing better than having a beautiful ceremony site on the property. Highly recommend staying at their amazing lodge the night before, which really helped with reducing the stress of getting ready the next day. Our guests cannot stop talking about how great the venue was! A dynamic reception hall allowed guests to move freely between their seats and the bar. With our summer wedding, guests were able utilize the patio and take pictures around campus. The lighting, decor, and head table allowed for beautiful photos. Our Kilbuck coordinator Nina did a fantastic job of keeping pace and making sure everyone was WELL taken care of. Bless her soul, we couldn't have done it without her. A superb venue for a "destination" wedding as we called it.

    Thank you so much for your kind review Caitlin! You were wonderful to work with during your planning process, and we are so happy you had a magical time!!

    Their food is like no other

    Costa's is Kilbuck Creek's good vendor, and hands down they make the best food around for weddings. Family owned and ran, and many people told me that they had never been to a wedding where the food was so good. Who can't be happy with that?!

    Kilbuck Creek's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind review! We are so happy to have Costa's for our caterers! I will pass this review on to them!
