    Best day of our lives!

    Best day of our lives! Cress Creek was so accommodating and made the planning process so incredibly fun. McKenna & Kelly helped us bring our vision to life, and made sure every detail was accounted for. Day of - everything was perfect! The layout was incredible for our larger party, and the service was OUTSTANDING. All of the staff were so kind & made sure everything was timely, no one had to wait for drinks or food. The food was delicious & hot, the chef is amazing. All of our guests were sure to tell us how great everyone was! It was such a blast and loved seeing them have a great time that night dancing to the band!!! Couldn't recommend more. :)

    Simply the Best!

    I had to plan my wedding much more quickly than I anticipated and working with Kelly and everyone at Cress Creek made it so easy and enjoyable. They truly went above and beyond. I met with Kelly one day and she walked me through all the key things and provided great recommendations for other vendors we would need. Kelly was very responsive to all my questions. Day of the wedding, they went above and beyond to make sure the room looked fantastic and the event went smoothly. The golf course is great for photos and the room was beautiful. The veranda is a great addition to the space especially for cocktail hour. The food was also fantastic! Everyone at the wedding kept raving about the food. I would highly recommend Cress Creek Country Club as an all around fantastic place to host your wedding. I am so grateful to everyone at Cress Creek for helping make my wedding day so unforgettable.

    Couldn't Have Done It Without the Cress Creek Team

    No surprise, any couple going through with a 2020 wedding had some obstacles, but I have to say- I consider myself so lucky to have had Cress Creek as my venue. It was truly white 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!

    Second Amazing Wedding at Cress Creek!

    

    This was the second wedding we’ve had at Cress Creek Country Club in the last three years.  Once again they provided a stellar event on all levels! The service was friendly and efficient. 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!

    Gorgeous Country Club Wedding Venue!

    We had another amazing wedding at Cress Creek Country Club! This is the second wedding we have done at Cress Creek in the last three years. Kelly, the Catering manager, is awesome and makes it easy. The food is 5 star quality! The service outstanding! The pictures from the veranda and grounds are gorgeous. It is simply the best on all accounts!!!

    A Cress Creek Wedding Will Exceed Your Expectations!

    Everything about our wedding was amazing and we have Kelly from Cress Creek Country to thank. She was helpful, organized and genuinely enthusiastic about making our big day amazing. 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!

    Cress Creek Country Club

    We pulled off a “perfect pandemic wedding” at CCCC and honestly would not have changed one thing! Kelly and her staff are so knowledgeable and helpful in every way- from 1year out 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!

    Outstanding!

    This is the place for a low stress, beautiful, delicious and memorable wedding reception. This was our second reception. We got married on my family farm out of state and then did 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.

    Incredible!

    Oh my goodness where do we even begin with this venue! Cress Creek is absolutely incredible. Kelly, the catering director, is beyond fantastic! She made sure everything was INCREDIBLE 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!

    Overall amazing

    We had an amazing experience booking cress creek for our September 2019 wedding! The venue was beautiful, the food was delicious, and Kelly, the coordinator, was above and beyond fantastic. We only toured one wedding venue, because once we had seen this one and talked to Kelly, we knew we had found the one!! I would highly recommend Cress Creek to anyone looking to have a classy, beautiful, and extremely well-planned and low-stress wedding day.

    Beautiful Cress Creek Country Club

    Kelly was instrumental in making our daughter’s wedding a memorable one. To this day, many guests have commented how the wedding was both majestic and epic. Without Kelly, those words 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.

    Amazing wedding reception at Cress Creek Country Club!

    From the moment we decided to have our reception at Cress Creek Country Club, we knew we made the right choice. Kelly Lynch was extremely attentive and anticipated our needs from 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 Country Club. We can’t recommend this venue enough to others to cherish memories for a lifetime!

    Absolutely Amazing!

    Everything at Cress Creek was absolutely perfect!! Cress Creek was already booked the date we had our eye on so we were hesitant to visit, but after visiting and meeting Kelly, we 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!

    Cress Creek was gorgeous and Kelly really makes that place shine!

    We absolutely loved working with Cress Creek for our reception! We ended up liking the venue a lot and it ended up being the place where our parents also had their respective receptions years ago.

    Kelly was absolutely wonderful and helped answer every question we had about the venue, schedule, etc...as well as "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!

    2 Happy Brides

    My wife and I were so pleased with choosing Cress Creek for our reception. Everything from the facilities to the staff and location were perfect. Throughout the entire process, Kelly 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!

    Couldn't Stop Getting Compliments! Exceeded Expectations!

    My parents and I could not be more happy that we did the reception at Cress Creek! Kelly Lynch, the venue coordinator, always responded quickly to our emails or phone calls and gave us suggestions along the way.
    We felt our money spent went a long way and was a great overall value relative to other venues we looked at in the area. This is especially when we are hearing from guests that our food (the passed out hors d oeuvres, steak, and wedding cake) was the best they had at a wedding!! Seriously I don't know how the chef cooked all those steaks to perfection!
    Cocktail hour being out on the back verandah (with heated lamps) was a beautiful way for our guests to start our reception, ending the reception with late night Chicago dogs, which were gobbled up. Kelly even let our whole wedding party take golf carts out for pictures and helped coordinate our sparkler exit.
    We have been beyond happy with choosing Cress Creek and the wedding packages they offer! With the quality, their staff, and our guest happiness, you won't find anywhere in the area better :)

    Cress Creek was the BEST decision we made!

    While I was wedding planning, I had to make hundreds of decisions – I had to pick the flowers, the music, the decorations, and countless other things. It was exhausting because I am 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 barely 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!

    October Wedding Success

    Kelly, we can’t thank you enough for being there for us throughout the entire process. For someone like me, who was anxious about everything, you we’re always there to reassure me that everything would be great. And it was! It was better than I could have ever imagined. From the phenomenal food to the beautifully put together room, I couldn’t have asked for more! Look no further, Cress Creek is a no brainer.

    Kelly was very helpful, kind, and attentive to all of our needs and concerns. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without all of her hard work.
    Her attention to detail and her 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.

    Cress Creek is the best! I am beyond thrilled that I had my wedding here. Kelly Lynch, the coordinator at Cress, is absolutely amazing and has great attention to detail. You do 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.
