We had our reception at the Glen Club on 2/15/2020 and everyone on staff truly made our day so special. Michael was amazing to work with and made the planning process so fun! I didn't have a wedding planner and I was a little nervous the month before the big day. After we had our call with Michael a week before the event I knew I wasn't going to have to worry about anything at all - and the day of the wedding was a dream! The venue was beautiful - the food was amazing, the bar was perfect and Michael and his team made our wedding so fun for my husband and I! We got to relax and enjoy while they magically took care of everything. We found our photographer and DJ through the Glen Club as well and they were awesome too.

I cannot say enough good things about The Glen and their events team, especially the Director, Michael Koenig. Michael has much experience planning events, especially weddings, and it shows. He is attentive, has great ideas and many suggestions for top vendors. It was like having access to a personal wedding planner. He goes out of his way to create the wedding that you envision and adds little touches you would not think of on your own. The entire staff is great, hardworking, and professional. They were very understanding when having to plan a wedding under the changing pandemic guidelines and very flexible when we kept changing dates and drastically lowered headcount. They were able to create a wedding that followed all social distancing guidelines, but it still felt like our special day and we will never forget it. We have no regrets on any of the compromises we invariably had to make to accommodate COVID restrictions, and most of that is because Michael and The Glen staff m...

The venue itself is also beautiful, with great views of the golf course, the food was very good, and the bar service was excellent. I would highly recommend The Glen for your next wedding or any other event. We still want to celebrate our wedding with all of the friends and family who could not be with us this year, and plan on doing that in 2021 at The Glen, we know they will do a great job making that day special as well.

We are thrilled that our daughter and son in law chose the Glen Club as the venue for both their wedding ceremony and reception. From the first visit Michael and the team there made it an easy and happy experience. The facility itself is beautiful and convenient, with a gorgeous wedding garden, a terrace for cocktail hour with a fantastic view of a lake and the golf course, a stunning ballroom, and a 20 room hotel on the top floor with a beautiful bridal suite. It also is just a footpath walk away from the Glen Town Center with restaurants, shops, and a movie theater, and less than a mile from a train station to downtown Chicago. The food was amazing! We had so many guest compliments. The staff was wonderful and when it started to rain about an hour before the ceremony they quickly moved the reception tables out of the way behind a screened wall and set up in the ballroom indoors. The rain stopped, and they quickly dried high top tables and managed to still have the cocktail h... Read moreour outdoors - and it was beautiful. We are very pleased to highly recommend this wonderful venue!

After initially wanting a wedding in the city, I am SO glad we decided on the gorgeous Glen Club for our nuptials on 9/1/19! Our day was absolutely perfect and I can’t say enough nice things about Mike Rosengarden who made the last month and day of details all happen so smoothly! We initially worked with Michael Koenig who was great and gave us a lot of ideas, but when he left less than two months before the wedding I was a bit nervous. Needless to say, Mike was a seasoned pro who’s been there 18 years, and his clam demeanor and can-do attitude put me at ease immediately. The venue itself is a beautiful fairly neutral space that allows you to really make it your own in any color palette. I had a jewel toned theme and it all looked fabulous when the decor was set up and I didn’t feel mine looked like every other wedding which felt nice! The food—our guests have not stopped raving about the food over a month later. The appetizers were all delicious, and since we’d eaten the... Read morere before we’d requested having the grill chips on the cocktail tables for a little extra and everyone loved that touch too. Our entrees were the filet and salmon duet which was outstanding, and the spinach and feta streusel for vegetarians was also delicious. My husband is a veggie as we’re about 20 of our guests and they all raved about it! Our tomato soup and glen salad was also so yummy. The cake baker they included in Couture Cupcake Cafe were fabulous and easy to work with too, and we loved our cake! Because we love food, we also had the Homer’s sundae bar, then warm pretzels and cheese and cookies for late night snacks and our guests were head over heels in love with all the food options. Little things too like allowing us to drop off our 8 foot massive boxwood place card board, ceremony programs, and other day-of essentials 3-4 days in advance, and allowing our dog to be our flower girl in the garden outside were just the nicest little touches that made us feel so lucky to have chosen the Glen Club. Those small gestures go such a long way. Our day was 150% perfect, and if we had to do it all over again we’d absolutely have it at the Glen Club again! Thank you Mike R and everyone else there who helped make our day such a success!

We loved the Glen Country Club! They were recommended to us for our kid's baby shower by our Planner (Kensington Events) and they were a perfect fit! Their service is top notch, their brunch is outstanding and their venue space is beautiful! We had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend them for any sort of party!

My husband and I got married at The Glen Club on June 15 and it was an incredible experience from day one. Michael is seriously such an amazing, helpful person to work with. He is so knowledgable and cares so much about making you (as the bride or groom) happy. His tour of the wedding spaces really helped us envision what our day could be like. Anytime I had a question or a concern throughout the planning process, he promptly emailed or called me back and helped me figure everything out. On my wedding day, I was very worried about the weather, and he treated me as if I was a long time friend as he was trying to keep me from worrying and making sure that I was doing okay. Seriously so amazing! He definitely takes on the role of wedding planner closer to the day of. You go over every single detail with him, drop off all your decorations, and him and his staff take care of the rest! It is really convenient that the second floor of the building is a hotel as we were all (bridal party inc... Read moreluded) able to get ready at the location. I loved this idea because I didn't want anyone to have to travel to and from multiple locations all day long. My bridesmaids and I got ready in one room with our hair and makeup team and my husband and his groomsmen got ready in another, giving everyone a fun experience in the morning and early afternoon. The outdoor garden/terrace was exactly what my husband and I were looking for in terms of our ceremony. It is well kept and private. The outdoor cocktail area is stunning with the view overlooking the grounds and it is a great way for your guests to enjoy nice weather if you have it. The ballroom is what really blew us away and is absolutely stunning when it is all setup for your wedding. We really liked the private balcony for the DJ, so that our guests wouldn't be bothering him all night and the speakers weren't right next to any tables. The food and waitstaff throughout our evening were absolutely amazing. We were given the ability to setup our sweet and late night food tables outside of the ballroom which gave our guests more space and a new change of scenery throughout the evening. There were a few hiccups before and during dinner but the staff definitely helped us solve any issues and move on with our evening. We couldn't be happier with how our day turned out and would recommend The Glen Club to any future couples.

We could not have been happier with our experience with The Glen Club and especially with their Director of Catering, Michael Koenig. He was my right-hand man every step of the way in my planning and made sure everything was absolutely perfect on our wedding day. He made the vision I had for the day a reality. We also loved that we could have everything in one spot - the ceremony, reception and hotel rooms! Our bridal party loved that they could just go upstairs to get to their rooms as well. The food was top notch and we got so many compliments on it. The bartenders and Omar (lead for the night) were also amazing!!

Michael and the entire staff was amazing to deal with for our wedding this past Saturday 10/13. I’m writing this review while on my honeymoon that is how amazing Michael and the venue was!!! The price is spot on the ease of working with them made my wedding entirely stress free! The food was delicious and having the bridal suite plus the additional availability of rooms for family was awesome.

We used The Glen Club for our wedding on 09/22/2018. Michael was WONDERFUL to work with. The tasting was a great experience and the service on the wedding night was stellar. The Glen Club was definitely one of the best decisions we made and we are forever grateful for them!!

Absolutely beautiful wedding! Michael Koenig was a pure pleasure to work with. So helpful, accommodating, a wealth of information, ideas and wedding industry contacts. Completely trusted his advice and relied heavily on his suggestions. We had a non-traditional wedding reception -more of a cocktail party or “strolling” dinner. He set it up perfectly! Venue was beautiful, food was FANTASTIC. CUSTOM MENU! Guests said most beautiful wedding they have ever been too! Thank you Michael and Glen staff!!!

We had both our wedding ceremony and reception at The Glen Club. Lucky for us the weather was perfect and so we were able to have the ceremony outside which was beautiful! We also opted to have dinner in the ballroom and dancing in a tent on the patio attached to the ballroom since we had more guests and a band that the ballroom could accommodate. The food was great, but the bakery that was a preferred vendor of the club's was the biggest hit! This venue is great because you can do everything onsite- ceremony, hotel rooms, etc. and the food is delicious as there is a full operating restaurant onsite. Both Michael Koenig (who is no longer with the club) and Mike Rosengarden were very easy to work with, responsive, and informative. I also have to acknowledge Ashley at the front desk for all of her help in coordinating with us and our guests as well. The only negatives are there are a lot of ways that they can uncharge you if you choose, there is no onsite coordinator to help get ... Read moreeverything in order the day of, and the hotel room keys were malfunctioning so all of our guests had to keep getting new room keys the entire weekend. Overall we had the best wedding weekend ever, everything met/exceeded our expectations and we will definitely be going back to the restaurant!

When considering a wedding in the Glenview/Northbrook area, the Glen Club is a great option! When initially choosing a venue, the Glen Club impressed us with their quality wedding staff and complete venue package as a small hotel and wedding venue. Throughout the planning process, the Glen Club was a easy and complete partner. They made the different options for day simple to complete -- from food to finishes. Additionally, they recommended strong vendor options for other services which helped to make the overall day a success. The only speed bump was around another event which the Glen Club did not promptly inform us was occurring. However, they helped to ease our concerns and provide flexibility to ensure our event was not impacted and able to proceed without issue. Overall, the Glen Club was flexible and helpful in working to ensure that our day was a success, even down to the small details. We would recommend anyone having their event or wedding with the Glen Club!

We received a number of compliments on the venue and the food. Tables were not crowded (14 tables) and there was plenty of room on the dance floor. Food was really good, special kudos to beef wellington appetizers and pecan-encrusted grouper. Cocktail area was not crowded even though it was too cold to utilize outdoor space. Staff did a good job on setup/linens and meal service was very good. Their bakery recommendation (Oak Mill) worked out well-both visually and taste-wise. We also had the ceremony there, which was intimate yet open. Michael worked with us to accommodate our beverage preferences. A number of guests stayed at the Glen Club that night and were pleased with their rooms; many of us attended the opulent brunch onsite the next morning. Very pleased.

The space was beautiful and clean and the staff was great! All of our guests loved the space and the food. Michael Koenig is the best Director of Catering! He was professional and took very good care of us. He took the extra steps needed to make our very important day very special. Any time we had an issue which were almost none he was able to cater to our needs. We would highly recommend having your wedding at the Glen Club!
