Cress Creek Country Club

glove service. It felt like I had a team of people helping with how unbelievably responsive, flexible, helpful and accommodating everyone there was. Kelly was on almost every email between my mom and I going over not just the order of events and the "need to know" information for the venue- She helped with colors, how many candles, table shapes, decorations, photographer timelines... everything. She would answer my most random middle of the night questions in what felt minutes, she dealt with surprise pop ins through out the year of family members who wanted a tour of the venue and kept me in check with due dates and timelines (I was changing things coming into the week-of and she took it all in stride.) Kelly became a true lifeline for my mom and I. Beyond Kelly (who I can't rave about enough), the food was INCREDIBLE. At the tasting we sat with the Chef who walked through the menu options and even let us get "creative" because everything was so good we couldn't decide. I was raving to friends and family about how good our food was going to be, and at the event it was somehow even better! I had SO many people tell me it was not only the best "wedding food" but one of the best DINNERS they've had. The team, food, drinks, dancing, outdoor space... there wasn't anything I was left wanting. 100% recommend!

r the wedding and provided incredible suggestions for wedding vendors that I would need. She was so responsive to all my questions as well. The venue itself is beautiful with an amazing veranda for cocktail hour. The food was fantastic! Everyone at my wedding kept raving about the food. Everyone at Cress Creek was also so helpful with any requests or questions. I am so grateful to Cress Creek for helping make my wedding day so remarkable. Anyone who has their wedding there will not be disappointed!

planning until the day of the event. We had every confidence that what we asked of her and the staff at CCCC could be made possible. Our vendors worked seamlessly with guidance from Kelly. The meal was excellent and was raved about among those who attended. The club was glowing and transformed into the modern rustic, moody elegant venue we were hoping for. We cannot speak highly enough of our wedding experience at Cress Creek Country Club!

r my wife and I.

a second reception for my husband's family and our Chicago friends at Cress Creek. With already planning one wedding out of state, we were looking for something that was not going to add too much to the stress. We went to Cress Creek because it was well rated and we new some people who golfed there. We were honestly shocked at how easy it was. We attribute our decision to chose Cress Creek almost entirely because of Kelly, the event coordinator. She was eager, so nice, didn't oversell anything, understood our wishes and executed them beyond expectation. She is the reason we were able to actually enjoy the party. She took care of everything, guestbook set up, decorations, last minute changes, video set up, and checked with us throughout the night to see if we needed anything. I cannot say enough thanks to her. Also, the FOOD was delicious. We had so much fun at the tasting and the actual food the night of did not disappoint. Many people made comments about how surprisingly good it was for a served dinner. We did the duet and the herb sauce on the chicken is the best sauce I have ever had on chicken, ever. Also, try the potatoes dauphine. So good. In summary, you cannot go wrong here. It is the entire package and it was outstanding.

. We had both our ceremony and reception at the country club. Both the golf course and clubhouse are beautiful and made for great photos. And the food…the food was to die for and our guests are still talking about how delicious it was. I would highly recommend Cress Creek as everything about it exceeded our expectations!

es and/or receptions there and we've had nothing but good experiences. We're always so delighted when they book us both because we really love the clean, classic, timeless feel of their ballroom and the day of set up is always so stress free. The Catering Director Kelly is always in site during our installations and is happy to help when vendors and guests alike have needs or special requests. The spaces are always immaculate, the attention to detail is on point (which is important to us as designers) and the events run smoothly each and every time. It's one of those places where you can really tell they care that your event turns out exactly how you envisioned it. The dining tables are always set very early in the day, which is so nice for us so we can spend a quality amount of time putting out centerpieces, candles and accent decor. Having a tiny set up window to rush around and make magic happen is the worst. The outdoor spaces and golf course itself are beautiful too. Ceremonies on the patio or out by the water feature are picturesque during all 4 seasons. Highly Recommend, we love to work there!

start to finish. Everything on the day of our wedding was seamless and perfect. The setup of the space was exactly how we envisioned, the food was delicious, and all of our guests truly enjoyed themselves. We had our wedding reception at Cress Creek six weeks ago, and we still have family and friends talking about how wonderful of a time they had. We know this is because of the exceptional service we received from Kelly and the entire team at Cress Creek. We can’t recommend this venue enough to others to cherish memories for a lifetime!

ngaged all the way to the wedding day, Kelly was responsive, extremely helpful, professional and committed to ensuring we had exactly the day that we were planning. Once we met with her and toured the venue, we knew we didn’t need to see anywhere else. Kelly recommended some other great vendors to work with and we were very happy with their service as well! Kelly truly thinks of everything and does amazing work. The food at Cress Creek is phenomenal- all of the guests couldn’t stop telling us how delicious everything from the appetizers to the entree and cake were!

n time and without a hitch. We have gotten numerous compliments about how smoothly everything ran and how good the food was!!

rganized that she will make sure your day flows seamlessly. My guests still talk about how amazing the food was. They truly cooked everything to perfection. The room itself is beautiful. Windows line the entire ballroom and the back porch is perfect for cocktail hour or when guests need a little fresh air during the reception. They are so accommodating at Cress Creek and truly will make your wedding vision come to life!

BLE and even better than I would have dreamed of. The food is out of this world! From the appetizers to the main course, and the wedding cake everything was fantastic. The venue offers spaces for beautiful photos. The staff is so friendly and helpful with everything! We cannot say enough about Cress Creek and how amazing their team is! 100% would book an event with Kelly again! She's the best ever!

quickly fell in love and changed our wedding date to one when Cress Creek was available. Now, weeks after our big day, our guests are still reaching out and raving about how amazing everything was! Kelly and her team made the entire process extremely easy from the very beginning, which is a HUGE help to a busy bride! In addition, the food was even better than what we tried at our tasting - huge shout out to Chef and his team! If you are looking for an outstanding experience for your wedding, you need to check out Cress Creek right away

ime out on the huge deck and on the dance floor! The staff was so on top of everything and super sweet. The food is SO DELICIOUS too!! Best wedding food I have ever had. I wish i could relive the day! Best wedding venue in Naperville! HIGHLY recommend!

t good things to say about the venue and the food! Would 100% recommend!

rds would not resonate. Kelly was far more than her title, “Catering Director.” We planned the majority of the wedding since the bride and groom live out of town and we needed a wedding planner, counselor, stress reducer, strong communicator, etc. Kelly fulfilled these roles and much more. We are eternally grateful for her professionalism, guidance, eye for style, and organizational skills. Kelly was honest and gave valuable input regarding food selection, decorating, timeline, seating, and more. Kelly transformed the club into a stunningly beautiful venue. In addition, guests raved about the appetizers and main entree. Our daughter said it was a magical night. If you are planning a wedding, call Kelly and book the Cress Creek Country Club in Naperville. Save yourself time, money and energy. Kelly is a terrific partner.

elly made sure everything ran smoothly in the planning aspects. She was very clear on timelines and had lots of recommendations while respecting our own wishes. The day of the wedding everything was beautiful! The staff was so very attentive; food was as promised, super yummy! The room looked gorgeous and our guests kept complimenting us on the food and Cress Creek itself, asking us how we found such a great venue. Kelly and Cress Creek made for 2 happy brides, and we can’t thank them enough for making sure our special day was perfect!

best practices" that she's seen work. We had a few items we weren't 100% sure how we wanted them to look and she was all on board to help design them :). The food was outstanding and they were willing to try making something not on the menu for the vegetarian guests that was absolutely great. We can't stress enough how easy it was to work with Kelly and Cress Creek to make our day special! Thank you!

m a painfully indecisive person. However, I can honestly say, without hesitation, that my decision to have our wedding reception at Cress Creek was the BEST decision I made during the planning process. And while Cress Creek is an absolutely beautiful venue, this wasn’t the reason that I booked at CC – it was Kelly. Kelly was, simply put, amazing and she was the Wedding Coordinator of my dreams. Within minutes of meeting her, I loved her. She was incredibly easy to talk to (even for an introvert like me), she was charismatic and, most importantly, it was very apparent that she was genuinely passionate about making our wedding day 100% perfect. And I can honestly tell you that she not only followed through, but she even exceeded my wildest expectations. In fact, the week before my wedding, I dropped off all of my decorations with Kelly and, when she asked where I wanted to put all of them, I told her that I had no idea. But when Kelly first revealed the room to me on my wedding day, I was so overwhelmed with joy that I cried. She somehow brought my vision to life, even when I didn’t have one. And, at the end of the night when I had to say goodbye to Kelly, I cried again at how perfect she and the CC staff made our day – and she even cried with me because she clearly genuinely cared about making us happy. Kelly’s organization, coordination, and customer service skills are unparalleled. She responded to my emails within a matter of hours, if not minutes, at all times of day (which is NOT how most vendors operate). She answered every single stupid question without making me feel bad, eased every panicked worry (no matter how ridiculous), and always left me smiling or laughing at the end of our conversations in-person and on the phone. She was flexible and often bent over backwards to give us everything that we wanted, even when we thought it wasn’t possible. Kelly (and the entire staff at Cress Creek) were professional, accommodating, and just perfect in every way. I do also want to give a HUGE shout-out to David, the Executive Chef, and his team. I cannot tell you how many compliments we received on the food at our wedding. We decided on the Tuscan Chicken entrée for our guests and let me tell you – it was to die for! The hors d’oeuvres were also wonderful (thank you to the staff for making sure I tried every single one!), the mashed potatoes and jumbo asparagus spears were a hit, and the cake from DeEtta’s was perfect!! I could go on and on about all of my wonderful memories working with Kelly and the Cress Creek staff the year before my wedding, but I will end with a message to all the future brides out there: I know that you are going to make whatever decision is right for you. But if you are even slightly considering the possibility of having your wedding at Cress Creek, you should make an appointment with Kelly. I have no doubt that you will fall in love with her and Cress Creek within minutes. I promise you won’t be disappointed!

professionalism was impeccable. We would recommend that venue to anyone because of how she worked with us. We would recommend the Cress Creek Country Club Venue to anyone because of all of her hard work, and the hard work of all the staff at the facility.

and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how delicious it was! They let us customize pretty much everything to make our wedding unique! Truth be told, the best part of our entire wedding process was Kelly. She personally made sure that everything was exactly right. She even fluffed out my veil for me before we were announced for the reception :’) She guided us through everything, because we didn’t know what we were doing, haha. A few of our guests who were recently married came up to us to tell us how great she is, and that they wished their coordinator was as good as her. If you choose Cress Creek, you will have the easiest and best experience possible. Ok, I’ll stop gushing about them now LOL

not need your own wedding planner if you have Kelly. She is so attentive to all of the details and is super quick when responding to emails. She made sure to coordinate with all of the vendors to make sure the day went as planned. Cress Creek has amazing food - it is not your typical banquet food. I got so many compliments from guests about the quality of the food. The staff at Cress go above and beyond to give you the best bang for your buck with the highest quality. The facility is great with the outside veranda. We had our ceremony on the 1st hole and it was set up so beautifully. I can’t say enough about Kelly and Cress. I would recommend this country club to anyone for any type of event.

is responsive and friendly. Kelly Lynch the catering director at Cress Creek was phenomenal! She made many accommodations for us and ensured that our day was amazing! She was so responsive to emails and phone calls - even outside of her work hours. Kelly made our wedding everything we wanted and more. It was stunning! The food was also amazing! All of our guests couldn’t stop talking about the appetizers and the food! We were extremely impressed and are beyond grateful for the wonderful experience we had! Thank you Cress Creek and a special shout out to Kelly for everything!

ire process smooth and easy. The day itself was perfect. The club was so flexible with us dropping off our decorations and supplies early, and they took the time to talk through with me how they should be set up. Our guests had an incredible time, raving about the food (RAVING), the porch, and just how well thought out everything was. The staff was courteous, professional and friendly. I would absolutely recommend Cress Creek Country Club to anyone!

ve worked with Kelly. She is the sweetest and most organized person and helped us figure out the details and what we wanted our reception to look like from the moment we booked the venue. The food and drinks were INCREDIBLE and the service was amazing. We received so many compliments about how speedy dinner was served and how delicious everything was. The value for the wedding package is unbeatable. They include so much in their package and make wedding planning much less stressful. We are so impressed and so thankful that we choose Cress Creek for our wedding reception!! My husband, family, and I recommend Cress Creek without any hesitations!

eception seeing my vision come to life all thanks to Kelly and the team at Cress Creek. She made the planning process so easy and was always there to answer questions whenever we needed. As a bride I appreciated not having to stress about the reception at all! From the moment we decided on Cress Creek to the end of our reception, every single one of our needs was met and we could not be more grateful. We are still getting compliments on the location and food two weeks after our wedding. Thank you so much for the best wedding we could have every asked for!

was my vision brought to life, but the food was amazing and our guests continue to rave about it! I would recommend them to everyone because they made it a day I will NEVER forget! Thank you!

ease knowing everything would be to our liking and taken care of. On the day of the wedding the room was just gorgeous, Kelly displayed all of our decorations beautifully, the service was excellent, and I still have family members raving about the food. Our wedding was absolutely perfect, thank you again!

nd I got married at Cress Creek in October 2017. Our experience was outstanding, in particular, Kelly was outstanding! Starting with our tasting, Kelly and the chef were extremely honest and shared their recommended dishes based on their experience which my family appreciated. Planning the details of the wedding, Kelly accommodated our site visits and any ideas we had, she helped bring them to life and, in fact, improve upon them. The day of the wedding was executed very well by Kelly and her team. Things moved seamlessly and the sit down dinner food was served hot (even the soup)! Kelly made sure to find me, my husband, and my parents during the wedding to ensure we saw the start of our various arrangements (late night food, favors, etc). THANK YOU!

work with, Kelly definitely fits the description and then some! She was incredibly helpful from start to finish, offered so much knowledge and creativity to my wedding planning, and you can tell that she absolutely loves what she does! The venue itself is gorgeous, both inside and out, and the photos I received back from my photographer were made so much more amazing due to the beauty of this place. Don't get me started on how great the food was. Family and friends are STILL raving about it - especially the s'mores bar that I personally highly recommend having :) I recommend Cress Creek to anyone getting married that wants an amazing venue, amazing food, and an even more amazing person to work with throughout their wedding planning process :)

th. She is so pleasant, professional, helpful and creative. She took our vision, improved upon it and executed it flawlessly. We loved the setting at Cress Creek and the updated decor in their banquet room. The food and service was wonderful. Kelly made the extra effort to ensure that all of the big things, the little things and all the things in between were taken care of. It was a magical night for us as parents of the bride; we couldn't be happier with how the reception turned out! Thank you, Kelly and Cress Creek!!

and years of expertise toward helping us to bring all details together. The actual space is lush with use of attached veranda overlooking the golf course. We even had a bar and heater on the veranda! The servers were pleasant and did an excellent job serving hors d oeuvres and making sure they connected with everyone. The food quality and presentation was beyond magnificent. One of our appetizer selections was cheese and crackers and I was blown away by the variety and quality of the cheeses. We had a successful champagne toast and the staff quickly delivered glasses to all guests. Greater than a 5 star experience!!!

icient. I can not say enough about the Catering Manager Kelly. She makes the day so easy and deserves the highest marks possible. The Chef David’s dinner was outstanding too. After the first wedding at Cress Creek my California relatives were still talking about the food a year later. It is an ideal golf club setting with amazing photo opportunities just steps away from the venue door. You would never regret having a wedding here. Everyone was so responsible and respectful with COVID-19. Obviously after having two amazing weddings here, I would definitely recommend Cress Creek Country Club!

organized and thoughtful, she communicated well with me and kept me updated. She even went the extra mile to help us set up and store our homemade chuppah the night before for the rehearsal and then the day of the wedding. Kelly seemed to genuinely care about rain on our wedding day and had really easy back up plans just in case. The food was excellent, our guests had so much fun and so did we. We thought the surroundings were beautiful and that Cress Creek truly was the perfect venue. For the cost we felt we were cheating them! I have been in six weddings before my own (right?!) and I can honestly say our wedding was one of the nicest for half the price due to how great Cress Creek was.

I never felt like anyone was too busy to answer my questions or help me out. Tara is professional, friendly, and extremely easy to deal with. The venue itself is gorgeous, with tons of room for dancing and even an outdoor area with a wrap around porch. I HIGHLY recommend Cress Creek.

ould have thought about. I did not use a wedding planner and found that I did not need one because he was so competent. Our wedding reception went off without a problem and it was all due to the great people that work at Cress Creek. The food was also fantastic and it was so nice to not have to worry about finding a food vendor and a separate liquor vendor. We were able to write one check to pay for almost our entire wedding reception! I would definitely recommend this venue!
