Cantigny did a great job working with us! They were more flexible than the Morton Arboretum and very helpful sticking to a budget. A great price for everything that’s included! We couldn’t be happier

We had our ceremony at the East Lawn and the reception at Woodside pavilion. Both places were beautiful, the food was amazing, the drinks were delicious and the coordinators put in the effort to make sure your day runs as smooth as possible!

Absolutely beautiful. Ceremony in rose garden and reception at the golf course. Taylor was well prepared and responsive. They took care of all the guests very well.

I had a bridal shower brunch at Cantigny Golf, specifically in the Red Oak II room. The staff were amazing—they were professional, personable, and incredibly accommodating. I primarily dealt with Lindsey, who is a sweetheart, and made my experience with Cantigny Golf a very special, pleasant one. The food was delicious—everyone raves about the brunch menu (particularly the salmon and sea bass). The weather was beautiful, which gave us the opportunity to use the adjoining outdoor patio area for stunning photos. The room was large for my group of 65 people, but still felt very intimate. We made use of the venue’s bookshelves by decorating with our own personal photos, and we were able to make the space our own. Overall, I would absolutely recommend this venue for any occasion, big or small!

We had our ceremony and reception at Cantigny Park on July 5, 2019 and we would highly recommend this venue to everyone. We had our ceremony at East Lawn, and everything was beautifully perfect. Abby Clark and Kaylee were our ceremony coordinators and they made sure everything was taken care of from our guests, to bridal party, to flowers, to transportation, and all the small details. We had our reception at Le Jardin and it was absolutely gorgeous! Taylor Clark was our venue coordinator and she is the catering manager - she is absolutely amazing and made our entire wedding planning process and wedding day very stress-free. It is a simple but elegant venue and the food is exquisite! We are still getting compliments about our venue and food. We highly recommend Cantigny Park for all couples looking for a stress-free, all inclusive perfect wedding venue!

It was love at first sight as soon as we toured Cantigny. Everything from the grounds, to the location was everything and more we envisioned for our wedding day. We chose to have our ceremony at the East Lawn Garden and the reception at the newly added Woodside Pavillion. Both locations were absolutely stunning on our wedding day. For getting ready, we rented out the cottage nearby the ceremony site and it allowed us to have plenty of time for photos in the gardens prior to the start of the ceremony. The staff we worked with was absolutely AMAZING. They were on point with reaching out to us when needed and following up with us immediately for any questions we may have had. Our day was flawless and it's all because of them. They are so organized, professional and FLEXIBLE. Although we were using their facility, they really bent over backwards to make their facilities feel like ours. It was great. Words cannot express how great it was to work with Bryanne as our wedding coordinator and A... Read morelyssa as our ceremony coordinator. Both Bryanne and Alyssa were so detailed, caring and supportive, it's really no wonder that I trusted them completely. Honestly, these two are ones to have confidence in and will make sure that your day goes off without a hitch. When it came to the food, it was delicious. Even today we are still hearing compliments on how great the food was. We even still receive compliments on their bar tenders! They were super friendly, AND TALENTED. We had special drinks and they were able to make them perfectly. What a way to add to the experience for our guests. I would highly recommend Cantigny for your wedding. Every where you turn is picturesque, you just can't go wrong. :)

My husband and I selected The Red Oak Room at Cantigny Golf Club for our rehearsal dinner, and let us tell you, it was incredible!! We had a larger rehearsal dinner with a lot of out of town guests and the night was a hit. We wanted a space with both outdoor and indoor space and The Red Oak Room was perfect. The views of the golf course are stunning and the string lights on the patio made it feel like an awesome summer party. We had food served buffett style (Italian theme and then mini chicago hotdogs and beef sandwiches) and they were a hit! On top of the venue being spectacular, our event coordinator, Taylor, was top knotch. Taylor was so professional, kind and responsive and made the night better than we had imagined! If you are considering having any event that will "wow" your guests - have it at Cantigny. The grounds and staff are supberb.

Working with Taylor at Cantigny made our wedding day easy and relaxing (even if it was 100 degrees outside on the first day of fall!). They are accommodating and amazing!

Wonderful experience with Sara as our main contact.

My fiancé, Joe, and I looked at MANY places before finally deciding on Cantigny to host our wedding reception this past May. We spent lots of weekends driving around, touring places and meeting with representatives from our list of possibilities. We found some too big, some too small but when we saw the Red Oak Room at Cantigny Golf Club, well, like Goldilocks said, "It was just right". While much of our research was done in the cool, barren fall months, we knew the view of the golf course would be spectacular once the grounds got doused with the spring rains. The windows are plenty and the adjacent outdoor patio would serve not only as a scenic spot for our ceremony, but also a place for our guests who wanted to take their drinks outside to a high table and get some night air. After meeting with Karen to go over the details and see how the room might lay out, we booked it! This was a leap of faith because at that time, we hadn't yet tried the food for ourselves - just trusted the... Read more reviews on this very website! Thanks to everyone who shares honest posts here because you didn't steer us wrong! We did attend the bridal expo, and it was difficult to narrow down our appetizer selections because they were all so good. However, we made our picks and scheduled a tasting. Here's where we were thrown a curve ball. Shortly before our tasting day, we were informed that Karen would no longer be working at Cantigny. And we've now invested months with her, going over the countless details and sharing e-mails that discussed everything from linen options to where our DJ would set up. At this late date, we were nervous. Taking her place would be Sara Cash, the new catering manager. We arrived at Cantigny on our scheduled tasting day and Sara stunned us from that very first introduction. No slight to Karen as everyone has different styles and personalities, but Sara impressed us with her warmth and friendliness; SEE MY NEXT POST COULDN'T FIT IT ALL IN ONE POST

Service, food and planning with Bryanne and Daphne was seamless and easy. I truly could not have asked for more. The food was outstanding. My Dad said it was the best he's ever had at a wedding. The staff was attentive throughout the evening. Bryanne was very responsive to my (many) questions throughout the planning period. I couldn't have asked for more. When you first visit Le Jardin (the venue we chose), you might not love the ambiance. The bar and Bertie's (the cafe off of the main room) need a little makeover. We decided to make it prettier. If you can fit Chivari chairs into the budget, do it. What an elegant look it added. We made a huge bar menu sign and placed it in front of a pass-thru window behind the bar. It covered up the window beautifully. Lots of candles and flowers, etc. on the bar counter helped. It really ended up looking very nice. The sign looked like it belonged back there. Bertie's needed a little help, also. Cantigny has a floor to ceiling cur... Read moretain that covers the counter area. It works well, and hides the area you don't want guests to see. We also had hi-boys and regular tables with linens on them to dress up the area. It was football season, so we turned on the tv's during cocktail hour. That was a big hit. If you can turn on the fireplace, do it! How pretty it was. With a little imagination, you can turn that room into anything you envision. My chair lady said it was one of the prettiest receptions that she's ever seen, and she's seen alot. I was a little nervous about the whole event, but that was a waste of time. I would choose Le Jardin again in a second!

My son had his wedding there and unfortunately it rained that day. Their back-up plan was terrible. Ceremony took place on a cement back porch with NO heating. It was in the 30s that day and you could see everyone's breath. They do not have the facilities available for a comparable back-up, nor were they willing to refund any of the 2500 paid for the rose garden reception which never took place there. Terrible customer service. Would NOT recommend this venue for the prices they are charging. Not 5 star in my book.

What an incredible venue! As someone told us when we first booked The East Lawn and The Red Oak Room, the photos you get will be worth the venue price alone ...and as long as the weather cooperates, that's true! (Although it is very nice that if you book both your ceremony and reception with the venue, they will provide a backup rain ceremony site for no extra charge) The booking process was very easy and the entire staff was great at helping us set up tours, food tastings, etc while we made trips to the Midwest from Boston to plan our big day. There were a couple of hiccups in the planning process such as frequent change in coordinators, our last coordinator was actually getting married the same week as us - which we weren't informed of until close to our wedding date and there was construction this summer which affected/moved our bridal suite a number of times. However no matter what issue came up, the staff were incredibly responsive and did everything they could to make ou... Read morer day perfect. In the end the weather behaved and we had an absolutely incredible outdoor wedding with the help of Giselle, the current day-of coordinator on the park side, who really did a phenomenal job at the rehearsal, getting everything set up for the ceremony and cuing us at the start of the ceremony. One important thing to note, they don't close or rope off anything for your wedding so park visitors will be walking around/near the ceremony site and in our case - despite Giselle's best efforts to intercept them - a stubborn elderly couple walked right through our bridal processional. There were also a number of other couples who had traveled to the park just to take wedding photos, however thankfully our photographers were great and worked around them so the park looks deserted in our photos!

My husband and I were married on the east lawn and had our reception at Le Jardin. The experience of working with the staff and the day itself could not have been more perfect. All of the guests raved about the food and the setting of the venue. I highly recommend spending the extra money to reserve the cottage. It was so convienient to have a place to get ready that day and also a place to cool off and have snacks before the ceremony. The banquet staff were so accommodating. They made sure that we ate and packed up our cake for us to snack on the next day since we didn't have a chance to eat that night. Bryanne was very attentive and helpful during the planning process. We live out of state so majority of the planning was done over the phone and on sporadic visits. Thank you so much Cantigny for hosting a day we will remember for the rest of our lives. The setting allows for gorgeous pictures to be taken throughout the park and we are so fortunate to have found this venue.
