Itasca Country Club — Restaurant in Addison Township

This is my favorite review to write! When booking all my wedding vendors, I paid close attention to reviews, so it was important to me to be detailed and open. I can honestly say I had my dream wedding thanks in part to Susie, Gina, and everyone at Itasca Country Club!!!! I had tons of questions, late-night emails, phone calls, changes, and everything in between, and Susie always had advice or an answer for me. If you are looking for a venue that has a coordinator who truly cares that you have the best day, and wants to make sure everything comes together for you, this is your spot.

The venue itself is gorgeous. I picked it for a few reasons. The chandeliers and the wall of windows adds so much elegance to the ballroom. The Lyons room was perfect for a ceremony/cocktail hour.I had 170 guests and no one felt crowded. They provided an arch which I was able to decorate, and the addition of the fireplace for my winter wedding was dreamy! Even though I had a December wedding, I still was able to take pictures outside which were gorgeous, and I imagine the pictures in the summer are amazing!! Lastly, the bridal suite is huge and a great spot for the bridal party to hang out and get some peace and quiet before or after the ceremony, or as needed.

You might not think you need fireworks at your wedding, but the fact that ICC partners with a fireworks company was a huge selling point for me. They aren't as outrageously expensive as you think, and the fireworks show was awesome! The best part is that you will literally get the most beautiful wedding pictures ever and guests will enjoy the show at the ballroom windows.

I can't forget to mention the FOOD. I had multiple guests say it was the best wedding food they've had. Most steaks I have had at weddings are well-done or dry. The filet medallions were pink, juicy, and so tasty. The Itasca Chicken was also a huge hit! Dinner took a bit to get out to everyone, but everyone forgot about that after tasting it...seriously so good.

I have to give a major shout out to the coordinator Susie. She is an angel sent from the wedding planning Gods. She helped me get a donut wall (#weddinggoals), answered all my emails and questions within hours, and worked with Gina (also an angel) to set up my wedding perfectly. I literally dropped off boxes of wedding decor, told her my vision, and I arrived 2 hours before the wedding to absolute perfection. If my makeup wasn't done I would have cried seeing it all put together like that. You are in incredibly good hands working with these ladies. They worked so hard to make sure I was happy, and I couldn't have asked for better. I...

My husband and I cannot say enough good things about working with the staff of Itasca Country Club. Our event coordinator, Susie, was incredibly kind, supportive, and attentive to our many questions and needs. Leading up to the wedding she always made time for us and was present in answering our questions whenever they arose. On the day of our wedding, she was so wonderful at keeping up with our timeline and checking in with us to make sure everything was running smoothly and that we were happy.

The staff present on the day of our wedding were amazing. They were quick with flipping our ceremony space, setting up our tables, and making sure guests got their meals in a timely manner. The food was absolutely wonderful and we have only heard great things from our guests about their dinners. We also want to emphasize how wonderful our bartenders were. We had provided signature drink recipes about a week before the wedding and they followed them to a T. Even before the ceremony got started, they prepared the specialty drinks for my husband and me to sample and enjoy. They did an excellent job and were so sweet to us and our guests throughout the night. We were so pleased with how our signature cocktails turned out.

Overall, every staff member we interacted with was incredibly kind and supportive during our wedding. And we know that there are a lot of behind the scenes work going on, so to any staff member we didn't get to see and thank in person - THANK YOU! We appreciate all of their hard work in making our day so special...

Went there for Easter brunch and it was decorated very nicely, with an Easter Bunny walking around and photo opps for the kids. There was a great selection of brunch buffet - something for everyone. That's the best I can say unfortunately. Food was cold - we were in the first booking time (10am), but it was cold, including mashed potatoes, salmon, prime rib (!?) - apparently nothing had been warmed up yet. The salad was mush - apparently had also been prepared the night before. Service was terrible - had to ask for water and soda refills several times before the servers (yes there were two) worked out their jobs. Mimosa was included with soda options but "root beer is not included" - seriously? We didn't bother complaining because that would have ruined a nice morning, more than the experience already had. Oh did I mention it was SEVENTY DOLLARS per person? Yes it was a nice place, but execution was inexcusable, especially at that price point. So bad that hardly anyone in our large 15 person group finished their food or got seconds. I would like to go back because this would be a nice tradition for the older members of our family, so I hope you read this and make the changes necessary...
