Country Club of the North

ssional and we couldn't have been more pleased. Highly recommend!!

ntire night. Lisa the event coordinate was a huge help too. She answered all of my questions when ever I asked. This place is amazing.

s amazing for part of the reception with the bistro lights! The staff at CCN went above and beyond to try and make our dream wedding come true. Lisa heard our wants and concerns and made sure she addressed them all. The food was great too! They just got a news chef. The price for the food and drinks are pretty fair compared to other similar venues. Their banquet room is a little narrow and long but it still worked for our 200 person reception. The outdoor areas make up for it..just make sure you have your DJ add extra speakers toward the back so everyone can hear.

is in charge, is the best part about Country Club of the North. I never had any worries about things not getting done and we were in great hands. The day of the wedding I did not have to lift a finger because the staff of CCN were setting everything up and even teared down once the night was over. The food was amazing and guest were very impressed! They have great bar packages that make any guest happy. I can honestly say that the staff at CCN made our wedding so special by allowing us to enjoy the precious moments. I would highly recommend Country Club of the North!!!

hape of the indoor area and the deafening air conditioning exhaust noise on the cocktail hour patio... What I couldn't get past was the complete lack of professionalism exhibited by the employees. And not just one employee- pretty much all of them. After I had already booked my date with them and paid the $2,500 deposit it would consistently take me up to three weeks and multiple follow up phone calls to get an email responded to. When I did finally get a response it would frequently be wrong! As in, "Oh, of course you can use the fire pit on the patio, S'mores are a great idea!" Only to then be told on the next visit- "Oh, NO WAY! The patio is ONLY for members..." Or another of my favorites "We can play a slideshow of your photos on the television behind the bar!" then to be told "What??? The bar area will DEFINITELY be blocked off- there is no way you can use that space!" How is one supposed to plan a wedding with this kind of service? Well, after countless headaches I went to a friend's wedding who also used CCN for her reception. Epic Fail. The rookie mistakes by the event staff and management were glaring (granted, I was more critical than ANY gracious wedding guest should be since I was planning my event there at the same time- but seriously, they cut the cake and then left it in the kitchen and didn't serve it to her guests! And to close the bar they just whipped a table cloth off of a table and threw it over the bar- leaving the table a bare plywood eyesore with the sash laying on the floor! I would be furious!). After witnessing so many mistakes first hand and seeing how disappointed my friend was that they had screwed up her vision so miserably I decided I had had enough. I tried to cancel with them (8 months out from my wedding at this point) and was told that I could not have my deposit back. I contemplated suing them to get it back but at the end of the day decided I didn't want to spend my wedding planning time stressing out over them. It was an expensive and unfortunate lesson in what I DIDN'T want. I ended up going to NCR Country Club and LOVED everything about working with them from the venue itself to the amazing event coordinator. I'm confident I made the right choice in ditching CCN even though it was tough to make that call at the time.

wedding is 5 months away and there is no where that is comparable to that facility available. I think it is completely wrong what they have done, when I signed a contract and paid a deposit. This is seriously my worse nightmare.

the location was easily accessible for all our family members. During the planning process, the coordinator was quite blunt about certain things and did not ease my stress as much as I had hoped! On the wedding day however, the staff was wonderful and helpful- we even had an assistant for the day in the womens and mens dressing rooms (which are also amazing)! I would recommend this location if you are very certain of the details you want when working with the coordinator :)

sues I had so brides are forwarned, because i was not. Pam Vitale, the club's event coordinator was very hard to get ahold of. She has way to many responsibilities and she rarely returns your calls. I had over 3 meetings with her and each time she would re-ask me the same details we had gone over in a previous meeting,because she did not write it all down, or lost it, which stressed me out. The day of my wedding I arrived at 9am to start getting ready with my girls. Pam had said that the women's locker room was mine to use the day of my wedding. She didnt specify a specific area, but she pointed out a big area with mirrors and such. We were also being served lunch in there that day which took up alot of space in the lounge area. So at about 12 that day we were still getting make-up done, one of the staff came in with an attitude and began snapping at me saying I was disturbing members because we were using one of their benches to sit on for make-up. We were not given any other chairs and when i had first arrived, the original lady helping me get settled never said anything about specific benches or chairs we could use. Not to mention there were only 2 members that had come into the locker room that morning and they were both super nice. So the staff member made us get up and move immediately, not even letting my make-up artist get all of her make-up off the bench before moving it! Not to mention this locker room is huge with about 30 or more benches just like the one we were using. When I tried to explain why we were using the bench she said she it didn’t matter it wasn’t mine to use! When I started to get upset the staff member was like " I have been assigned to help you today" and when I told her she has made my day much worse,I was already stressed out, and that I wanted her to leave me alone and not to come near me, she insisted that she could not leave me because this was her job!!! It took my make-up artist and mom yelling at her before she got out of my face! I was dumbfounded, no one had ever said that we could not use any of the seating in that room!It made no sense! Then during my ceremony, which over-looked the nature reserve and 18th hole outside the facility, Pam had said that the 18th hole would be temporarily shut down during my 15 minute ceremony so I did not have golfers in my background. Well this was not true,and right in the middle of my ceremony a group of golfers started golfing on the 18th hole! Now in all of my ceremony pictures golfers are in the background! In my wedding video you can even hear them talking! The country club is very much about members first and bride second, even though you pay thousands of dollars just to have the facility to use for a few hours! You also must go through Pam to get decorations like arches and chair covers. Her prices are 3 times higher than if you went through an actual company for that stuff so you end up paying much more if you want any kind of decorations at all! Pam had also called my husband the wrong name all day during the wedding and rehearsal, even after he repeatedly corrected her! Even after all my extensive drawn out details of my wedding, the staff still set up my tables wrong, with 6 chairs not 10,& when my husband caught the mistake Pam wanted to argue with him that she was right!

on top of her game" the entire time and knew exactly how to make the day perfect.

by Pam was wonderful (she organized all the vendors for the day of the wedding). Great venue all around.

nd kept everything running smoothly. We ended up getting a military discount which was great. The food cost and alcohol was a bit pricey but that was expected. I really recommend using this venue!
