Eaglewood literally feels like you're in some place other than a suburb of Chicago, Illinois. It truly felt like an escape from the world. Working with Eileen to plan our wedding was fun and easy, she was always quick to respond to emails. We decided to move forward with our wedding depsite pandemic restrictions and she made sure that all of our questions and concerns were answered and addressed. Eaglewood's flexibility during that time was very much appreciated! We couldn't be happier with the beautiful location, delicious food and friendly staff. Eileen was there throughout our entire day, making sure we had everything we needed and escorting us to the first look locations on the golf course! We had our ceremony outside with the golf course as our back drop. There are plenty of beautfiul places to take pictures on the grounds as well! Having the "get ready rooms" available to us was also convenient since they are located closer to the event spaces than your hotel rooms are. My husband and I chose Eaglewood because my close friend got married there. We loved it then and we loved it even more for our wedding!
