Had the 5 hour lunch wedding package on 5/20/23. It was fabulous. Lisa was the wedding coordinator and offered the Emerald Room with high ceilings. Very light and airy. She set up everything beautifully. Lots of food. Cake was beautiful and delicious. Everything was perfect. The only thing that could have changed was cleanup started 15 minutes before event ended which caused some guests to leave slightly early. But overall a 10 out of 10. You will not be disappointed by selecting Villa Olivia. Also beautiful outdoor pictures at this facility.

With everything going on with COVID-19, my fiance and I were super nervous about what would happen if we postponed our wedding or even if we had it with a smaller crowd. We had friends tell us that for their wedding at a different venue, they were still going to be charged the minimum amount even if there were only 50 people, I was so nervous about what was going to happen but then we got the call. Jennifer called us from Brides of Poplar Creek and assured us that they understood what was going on and that they would do whatever they could to accommodate us with what we decided to do. They allowed us to maintain our date for 2020 but then also offered to hold a date (at no cost) for 2021! My fiance and I hit the lotto with this place. Jennifer is up to date on the guidelines they are mandated to follow and continued to support us as we took our time deciding what we were going to do. We have finally decided to move our date and Jennifer drew up the new contract and got it to us in no time. Honestly, she made it so much easier for us to make this decision because it definitely was not easy. If you have not seen this venue in person, you need to go check it out. I am very picky and was looking for a place that did not have carpet. If you look at their old photos you see what the upstairs used to look like, it was beautiful but it had carpet. I was going to not even check out this venue but my mom saw that they updated their floors and now it is wood flooring. IT IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. Having both inside and outside ceremony options, you could not ask for a better place. I cannot wait to continue working with Jennifer and her crew as the countdown to our new wedding date continues. I will post a new review after our wedding happens next September. CHECK OUT BRIDGES OF POPLAR CREEK, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT

We had our wedding at the Elgin Country Club and were thrilled with how smoothly everything went. Booking with them was easy - Christine, their event coordinator, was great about responding to emails and calls promptly. The recent renovations to the venue made it the perfect, elegant backdrop for our big day. On the day itself, Christine and the staff were on top of all the little details so my husband and I could just focus on soaking in the moments. The flow for our first look and the reception went seamlessly thanks to their coordination. It was clear the team cared about making our wedding special and memorable. The value for the beautiful venue space and service was fantastic. I'd highly recommend the Elgin Country Club for any couple's wedding or special event!

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!
