Elmhurst Country Club Wedding Venue Review
June 11th, 2023
Atmosphere and Attire
The couple, Carly and Kevin, created a relaxed atmosphere by opting for casual attire, with the groom wearing khakis and sneakers, and the bride donning white Vans sneakers.
Their choice of attire set the tone for a fun-filled and laid-back celebration.
Ceremony Space and Surroundings
The ceremony space at Elmhurst Country Club was small but served its purpose.
The backdrop of the golf course against a mountainous landscape added a touch of natural beauty to the ceremony.
Guest Restrictions and Photography Challenges
Wedding guests were confined to a small area of the grounds, which felt limiting and restricted their movement.
The bride and groom also faced photography restrictions, with a strict manager dictating where they could take pictures.
These limitations proved frustrating and somewhat off-putting for the wedding party and guests.
The venue's attempt to separate wedding guests from golf patrons using fake walls and staff intervention seemed unconventional.
Indoor Reception Space
Elmhurst Country Club offers a spacious indoor reception space with a charming wood-topped bar.
The staff at the venue were incredibly helpful and friendly, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone.
However, the building itself appeared slightly dated, with a design that reflected the late 70s or early 80s era.
Despite its vintage charm, the building was well-maintained and kept clean.
Food and Restaurant Service
The food served at Elmhurst Country Club was delicious and expertly prepared.
The buffet-style setup received praise for its quality and taste.
The accompanying restaurant was buzzing with people, indicating its popularity and reputation.
Photography Challenges and Limited Options
When it came to capturing memorable moments, there were limited options available for photography.
Only one designated tree was permitted for wedding photos, which restricted creativity and variety.
The venue's concern about potential damage to the golf course seemed misplaced, as much of the surrounding grass was already dead and brown.
This constraint proved frustrating, with few photogenic backgrounds available.
Conclusion: Considerations for Choosing Elmhurst Country Club
Depending on the price, Elmhurst Country Club may be a suitable choice for a wedding venue.
However, as a photographer seeking diverse and picturesque settings, there may be other options that offer more flexibility and scenic opportunities.
The venue's limitations on guest areas, photography locations, and restrictions on movement may impact the overall experience for some couples and their guests.
