Morris Park Country Club Reviews

Morris Park Country Club helped us create the most amazing and memorable wedding day! I always knew MPCC was the location I wanted for our wedding! The renovations elevated an already classic and stunning venue. They provide many services that other venues don’t include - food, beverage, decor, rentals, etc.. Elena is the cherry on top! She made wedding planning fun and stress-free, even through a pandemic. We had to postpone our original date, but Elena was so flexible and accommodating throughout the entire process. She took her time and discussed every detail with us, every step of the way. She provides a high-level of quality, expertise, and passion in her job. We knew we were in good hands! Elena and the MPCC staff made our wedding day perfect!

A little shy of a year ago my husband and I had our wedding at Morris Park Country Club. We planned the wedding from out of town and Elena went above and beyond to make the wedding process seamless. The wedding market can be competitive but Elena helped us secure the weekend we wanted to get married, as well as some of our top vendors. All of our guests raved about the quality of food, beverage, and overall "flow" of the evening. Elena and her staff team truly care about guests and are so friendly and attentive. I cannot thank the MPCC team enough as they made our wedding day so spectacular.

Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and unforgettable thanks to Elena and the entire staff at Morris Park. From the planning to the very end of the reception, the entire process was smooth, fun, and stress free. Elena was a very calming presence on the wedding day and made sure we had everything we needed. Not to mention the venue is beautiful and the food by chef Brian is incredible! 10/10 would recommend having a wedding or any event here.

We had the best wedding day ever thanks to Elena Dunn-Adams. I truly do not know what I would do without being able to text her daily (yes daily) to calm my nerves, to change linens, to add things on. She made our day the most smooth, flawless, happy day we could of ever asked for and we are forever thankful for her. And somehow, she managed to arrange the weather to be absolutely perfect in July which is always scary! Sunny and 72.. can't beat that!

My husband and I had the most amazing experience. The food and the staff were amazing. Elenna Dunn helped with every little detail to make sure the day was everything I wanted and more!!

She sas very professional organized and absolutely wonderful! The venue is absolutely gorgeous and they are open minded about what you want!

Our wedding hasn't happened yet, but I believe our 5 star review will remain! Elena is amazing to work with. She is the event coordinator for the Morris Park Country Club. She is very organized, remembers literally everything, and she's willing to work out a zillion scenarios with you so you can get an idea of the total costs. I can't wait until our big day! :)

Our daughter just had her wedding reception at Morris Park. The Director of Events, Elena Dunn, was remarkable for her graciousness and ability to transform our ideas for the reception into a plan and a feasible budget. In the course of planning, we met a handful of times with Elena to explore and revise ideas. Sometimes we brought cost-cutting suggestions to the meeting, sometimes Elena did. At other times, either we proposed décor elements or she did. At each step of the process, Elena made herself available to us in a prompt and generous fashion, welcoming ideas to tailor the event to meet our budgetary constraints and maintaining a vision for a magical evening that she and the Club’s staff did indeed achieve.
The Club’s Executive Chef, Brian Steinway, oversaw a lively cocktail hour and a wonderful sit-down dinner for 170. At the luncheon tasting last summer, we understood that our guests would be treated to a delicious meal and that we could offer them high quality beef, chicken, fish and vegetarian entrees. When it came to the actual event, we were not disappointed! The flavorful food and the excellent service contributed greatly to the lovely reception.
Morris Park was a terrific venue for our daughter's wedding reception.

We recently had our wedding at Morris Park and it was more amazing than we could have ever imagined. The entire staff deserves so much recognition as they were there for us all day and night. We never had to worry about any logistics before, during or after the wedding because Elena and the staff took care of everything. I had so much fun planning the wedding with Elena, doing tastings, picking out rental items, & taking advice from her on things overall. We could not have done it without her! I would highly recommend Morris Park to any bride and grooms looking for a classic space with premium service! Thank you, Morris Park!

I knew instantly that Morris Park Country Club was the location I wanted for my wedding! Elena took her time with me as she walked me through the venue. She didn’t miss a single detail as we discussed everything from getting ready in the morning to layout of the room for the reception. What drew me in most was the sincere passion Elena has for her job. She was seriously born to be a wedding planner! My husband, Zach, met her a couple of weeks later, and he felt the same way! We knew that we were in the best of hands.

After meeting Elena, reading reviews on Morris Park, and seeing pictures of previous weddings, I’m not going to lie, we had pretty high expectations. I will NEVER forget the moment Zach and I walked into the room reveal. Man, did Elena and the staff deliver! They exceeded all of our expectations! Zach is very Type A; it’s hard for him to put major things such as our wedding into the hands of someone else. He was nervous about it. Zach was the happiest I have ever seen him that night, I know a lot of that had to do with me but the other major contributor was just how perfect everything was for us!

Not only is Elena amazing but the grounds at Morris Park BEAUTIFUL and the food is so delicious! The staff is phenomenal too! One example that I can give was between courses at our reception. My matron of honor’s phone completely froze and she of course wanted to take pictures so she was disappointed that it wasn’t working. Our waiter told us he used to work in a repair shop so he took about 5 minutes to figure out the problem and ended up fixing her phone! It was so awesome! Little things like this make all the difference.

Our wedding was perfect. I would not change one thing! On behalf of Zach and myself, thank you so much to Elena and the Morris Park Country Club staff for helping make the biggest day of our lives unforgettable! Can we do it all again?!

Where do I begin? From the moment I contacted MPCC, I knew that this was the perfect venue and exactly where I wanted to have our wedding reception. Shortly after getting engaged, my husband and I contacted over 20 venues in the area and only a handful of them responded back with personal messages, Elena being one of them. We set up a viewing of Morris Park and we both fell in love with it right away. I am not sure if it was the venue itself or Elena and her bubbly and attentive personality, but either way - we both knew that Morris Park Country Club was where we wanted to have our reception. Elena was great from the start and made the entire planning process a breeze. She was very personable, never got me confused with other brides and I felt like she actually cared about my wedding day as much as I did. She was quick to respond to emails as well. I was never once nervous about how anything would turn out on our big day. Elena was amazing and on the actually wedding day, everything totally exceeded my expectations. The room was beyond beautiful and even better than I could have imagined. From the linens to the lights and everything in between - it. was. amazing. Our day was perfect and it would not have been that way without Elena. I wish we could get married again and again just to have the reception at Morris Park because it was truly a fairytale day. I will forever be grateful for Elena and will always recommend for people to get married and/or have their reception at MPCC so that they can work with Elena!!!

My husband and I could not have imagined a more beautiful place to have our reception! We were blown away.

Morris Park had a perfect place for all of my bridesmaids (10) to get ready as there were plenty of mirrors and outlets for all of us. They provided us with plenty of food and drinks while we were there.

Morris Park's golf course was the perfect place for the entire bridal party to take pictures. With the beautiful willow tree and fountains it was simply a venue we could not pass up.

And the food... it was to die for! Our guests couldn't stop raving about it.

Elena Dunn was easily the most amazing wedding coordinator we could have asked for!! She was always available to answer any questions or concerns we may have had. She worked endlessly to make sure everything was perfect for the both of us. She always checked in with us and was very personable. She made our day everything we could have wanted and more!

HIGHLY recommend this venue for your wedding! I had my wedding at Morris Park this July. The ceremony and cocktail hour were on the beautiful golf course and my reception was in the clubhouse. From the moment we first met with Elena Dunn (event coordinator), to the day of our wedding, everything went so smoothly and gracefully. Elena has such great attention to detail and covers everything in your meetings with her prior to the wedding. She listens to your requests and makes your dream a reality. Leading up to the wedding I contacted her (too) many times and she promptly and kindly responded each time. I truly don't know what I would've done without her! The day of the wedding, she was by my side, directing and helping with anything I needed. Some people talk about things that go wrong on their day, but mine honestly couldn't have gone better, mainly because of her! The servers and bartenders were outstanding, professional, and quick the food was AMAZING, my guests were blown away by how good their meals were! I can't say enough great things! If you choose MPCC, you will not be disappointed!!

We had our wedding reception at Morris Park and had an incredible time. Elena, the event coordinator, is wonderful. She was on the ball and very knowledgable and helpful. Anytime we needed something she responded quickly. Our planning process was so smooth! Elena cares very much about the couples she works with and really works hard to make your experience personal and special. The staff was so professional and always polite and helpful. I have always been a huge fan of the food at Morris, but they really outdid themselves. Everyone raved about the chicken and the vegetarian option we had as well. We had amazing appetizers and a lovely cobbler bar for dessert. Everything was impeccable! The evening went very smooth and if there was anything that didn't go as planned, we sure did not know! I would definitely recommend this beautiful venue to anyone who wants an elegant, fun and well planned reception!!

Morris Park Country Club went above and beyond for our big day. My husband and I had done our research for a reception location in the South Bend, IN area and the surrounding areas and Morris Park was by far the easiest decision we made for our day. Elena Dunn (Director of Events and Banquet Sales) kicked ass. When I was stressed about small details coming together she dealt with it and got everything done flawlessly. Her staff during the reception were attentive, helpful and efficient. The food at Morris Park was delicious. My husband and I want to go back and enjoy our wedding appetizers and meal again and again. We offered NY strip, stuffed chicken and Salmon and we got so many compliments from guests that it was the best food they had every had at a wedding. To top it off we were surprised with a lovely gift basket of goodies to go back to the hotel with that she had organized! Above and beyond! If I ever have to host a big event ever again - I without question will be going with Morris Park!

Because we were getting married at ND's Basilica, we had to book our wedding date way in advance, so we booked Morris Park early too. A few months after we put down our deposit, their head of events changed, which of course made us a little nervous, but Elena Dunn is AMAZING!!! She went above and beyond to make our wedding gorgeous and hassle free. Her recommendations were fantastic and our wedding day went off without a hitch. I would recommend working with her to anyone.

Elena Dunn was absolutely wonderful to work with through our entire wedding planning process; and we couldn't be happier with how smoothly our wedding ceremony and reception was. After a rocky start to planning, Elena jumped in and was extremely helpful. I believe she went above and beyond the requirements of her position to make sure Braxston and I were satisfied with our big day. Morris Park is a gorgeous venue and adds a ton of character to the overall decor for a wedding or other event. We continue to receive nothing but rave reviews about Chef's food, which is rarely heard of when cooking for over 200 people. I will definitely recommend Morris Park and Elena to my friends as they begin to plan their own weddings. Thank you so much for a memorable day!

The new event coordinator, Elena Dunn Director of Events and Banquet Sales, and the assistant Lisa Chesnic, really took care of my fiance and I! First, we were told the entire reception hall was ours (no other wedding happening with us). Then, prices were dropped for things that we had booked for, even adding on additional decoration. Elena did not pressure us into a wedding coordinator contract, which is exactly what myself and my group wanted. She was quite attentive to what we wanted to do (which was keep it a small crowd and not too fancy). She was highly responsive to communication ( would e-mail me in 10 minutes, which was way faster than I would expect), and coordinated with all vendors I gave her information on (like ProShow DJ Ned Swanson, pastor, photographer Krista Kuskye, harpist Meg Rodgers, and florist Poppes Polly McCarthy). She even gave us ideas and suggestions that fit us so well we took her up on it showing how well she could understand a theme that fit us!

On the day itself, I personally really appreciated Elena being there for me. First with my bridesmaids and I in our fabulous dressing room, and then as I approached my walk down the aisle. It was a very touching day, and she definitely helped make it run smooth. Her sensitivity and checking in on us during the reception ensured that our day was not stressful at all for my husband and I (we enjoyed it more than I thought we could ever)! It was tiring, but happy. I am very glad we had our wedding at the MPCC, especially with her as the event coordinator.

Kudos to Elena, you made our day a dream come true one!

We had an AMAZING experience with Morris Park Country Club! We got engaged last June. We visited last summer and loved the venue. It was beautiful and within our budget. In August, I was in a terrible accident and was unable to do the majority of the wedding planning myself. The coordinator at the country club, Elena Dunn, was absolutely amazing!! She's not a licensed wedding planner, but you would never know it, except that it did not cost as much. She handled every detail of the dinner, the DJ, the limos, the florist, the cake, our hair and make up, and she even brought us breakfast at the hotel the morning of the wedding! She was available day or night to help me with any issue that arose during the planning. She went above and beyond to make this day so very special! It was so wonderful working with her. I never could have done this without her! The hall was so beautiful! She has wonderful taste and exceptional attention to detail. The food was delicious and the staff was great! I would reccommend this hall, but most importantly, Elena Dunn, to anyone looking to plan an exceptional event!

Our experience using Morris Park Country Club for our wedding reception was nothing short of stellar. Our day was a dream come true and it wouldn’t have been possible without the hard work and dedication of the staff there. I dropped off my things for centerpieces and décor and they were set up exactly how I had pictured. Although, décor is hardly needed with the reception area’s large windows overlooking the beautifully landscaped course (which is great for pictures)! There were numerous comments made by our guests on how lovely the Morris Park Country Club is.
Not only did we have many compliments on the venue, but the guests made sure to let us know that they loved the food. The meal was prepared and served by Morris Park’s Chef and staff and they did not disappoint. The salad was crisp and fresh, the potatoes were seasoned just right, and all the meet was cooked to perfection. If you are looking for a worry free reception with a wide open space, beautiful setting, great staff, and delicious food, look no further! I highly recommend working with the Morris Park Country Club for your special event or Wedding.

We recently had our wedding ceremony and reception at Morris Park Country Club. It was amazing! Elena Dunn was absolutely wonderful! She was very flexible and accommodating when meeting and getting back via email. I was very impressed with how Elena was able to take my ideas and make them come to life and "perfect them" so to speak. The grounds were beautiful and the staff was absolutely amazing and very professional. The food was AMAZING and I received so many compliments on the polish buffet.
The only issues I had were when the time came to start I found out someone who was not invited showed up at the ceremony and I asked to have them leave and no body stepped up to make sure this happened. Another thing that happened is when we were on the green golfers were still trying to play the hole we were using.

Other than those minor hiccups everything was perfect and we couldn't have asked for a better venue and coordinator in Elena Dunn. I would love to work with Morris Park Country Club again for future events!

We are excited to host our wedding reception at the Morris Park Country Club in the summer of 2015! We toured several different reception locations in South Bend, including other country clubs, and were very impressed with Morris Park's floor-to-ceiling windows and gorgeous views onto the golf course. Anne Landis, the director of special events, has been great to work with so far, and they have an extensive menu for wedding receptions that can be customized to the needs of your event.

It’s been a couple of weeks since our daughter’s wedding. Life is getting back to normal but wanted to take his opportunity to recognize Elena Dunn and her staff at Morris Park for the amazing job they did on June 22nd! She has so much enthusiasm and passion for her job; it is truly a gift. The year of planning with Elena made being mother of the bride easy. The day went off without a hitch. The weather cooperated when it was not supposed to. She calmed both mom and bride two days before. There definitely were a few angels watching over us that day as it was beautiful start to finish, filled with sunshine and so much love. It couldn’t have been such a success without Elena and her staff. Everything they did was perfect from the decorations, cocktail hour, dinner and sparkler send off! I highly recommend Morris Park to anyone looking for a
top-notch venue for a wedding. Thank you on behalf of the bride, groom and their families!
