My mom was a wedding coordinator for 9 years and even she was impressed with the helpful, accommodating service from everyone we met at St. Andrew's. We would hands-down recommend the site to anyone!

We could not have been happier with our ceremony and reception at St. Andrew's. Everyone we worked with planning and on the day of our wedding was professional and accommodating, and went out of their way to make our day perfect. It is a beautiful site, and very reasonably priced.

My husband and I were very pleased with our reception at St Andrew's. Every time I asked for something they found a way to make it happen. Everything went perfect. The food was awesome and the price was amazing for what was included. The bar was all top shelf!! Most places charge extra for that! How awesome is that. On top of that during dinner my head table had a personal bartender. The service was amazing. My food was delivered while I was greeting tables so I asked the server to warm it up for me and instead he brought me a whole new plate of food. So generous. Cheryl Soto worked with me on the entire thing and she was amazing. She did a wonderful job and really made everything come together perfectly! I HIGHLY recommend this venue. Thank you so much St Andrew's!!

We held our early July wedding at St. Andrews and could not have been happier with the service, atmosphere, food, and overall value of the venue. Whenever people ask about our wedding the first thing we mention is the unbelievable service we received throughout the entire planning process, during the wedding, and even days after. The coordinator was helpful, flexible, and entirely focused on making sure we were happy with every aspect of the reception from the meal to the mood (and when my fiancé couldn’t take advantage discounted golfing on the wedding day, she even mailed out free passes to their driving range). During the reception the wait staff were cheerful and personable in a way I have experienced at very few weddings. And when we asked the wait staff about the incredibly tasty and unique butternut squash soup they served before dinner, the head chef actually came out to talk to us about how it was prepared even providing the recipe for us.
St. Andrews has several rooms available for weddings each with a unique feel. We chose the St. Andrew’s Room, a bright and spacious hall with beautiful chandeliers and floor to ceiling windows overlooking the club’s property. They provided separate brides and groom rooms, which were very classy (my bridesmaids were impressed). Because there was no event the night before, St. Andrews allowed us to set up our escort cards and music system a day early with no extra charge. They allowed us to have a unique seating arrangement and were helpful in modifying that arrangement to be exactly what we wanted.
Finally, St. Andrews includes open bar, tax, and gratuity in their per plate reception pricing, which actually put them cheaper than many other venues in the area, even though the quality was better than the other venues. We recommend St. Andrews to absolutely anyone who asks us how our wedding went.

My husband and I had our reception at St. Andrews, and I couldn't be more pleased with the way it turned out. It is the BEST bang for your buck (to put it so eloquently :) in the western suburbs. Prices are incredibly reasonable, taxes and service charges are included in plate prices, even top shelf liquor is included....so there are no surprises. If you only want beer and wine included, they will take $5 off the plate price and you may opt for cash for anything other than beer and wine.
Cheryl is great to work with. She always got back to me in a timely manner, made sure I knew when St. Andrews had upcoming tastings, and was always available if I needed to come in to talk details. The banquet hall is AMAZING for weddings. We had looked at several places that were too dark (i.e. Drury Lane), but St. Andrews has picture windows for tons of light, a HUGE area for dancing, a beautiful vintage looking chandeliers. My only complaint is that they don't have full length table cloths, and they only come in stark white. Not only is the room beautiful, but the course is perfect for wedding photos.
When Cheryl couldn't be at our wedding because of a previous engagement, she made sure the rest of the staff took care of us. They set up the room beautifully!! The night of the reception, I was approached by two of the men in charge who made sure I knew who they were in case I needed anything. For being so reasonably priced, the food was absolutely excellent, and the service to the tables was impeccable. I am still getting compliments on the quality of the food. They don't provide a cake, but they don't have a preferred vendor list - so you can have a cake brought in from anywhere.
I would urge anyone considering St. Andrews to go visit venue and go to a tasting!!

Our wedding at St. Andrews Golf & Country Club was perfect. When we walked in to the banquet room it took our breath away at how beautiful it was.
The staff at St. Andrews were all so friendly and accomodating. Cheryl S. was our coordinator for the wedding and was such a delight to work with.
The owner was there too and she was so charming. She even noticed we had a few seniors and was quick to accomadate them to seats for cocktail hour.
Also, the grounds were beautiful for pictures.
Our wedding was perfect and we highly recommend St. Andrews Golf & Country Club.

All of the people at St. Andrew's were very helpful, professional, polite, and curteous. The staff was very flexible--my husband is active military, and they were able to change our reception date without hesitation when we had to move our wedding date back by 6 months in response to my husband's schedule. The best part about St. Andrew's is that I felt part of a family--it's a great atmosphere where everyone is treated with respect and dignity, from the guests to the cooks in the kitchen to the custodians.
Our wedding was a bi-cultural one, blending my American family with my husband's Mexican-American family. Both sides of the family felt very comfortable and very at-home at St. Andrew's. The entire staff was very understanding of and supportive of both or our familys' unique traditions, and created a beautiful, tasteful environment where we were treated well at all times.
St. Andrew's is a great little diamond in the rough--located in working-class West Chicago, no one would ever think that such a great place could be nestled into that little town! But, lo and behold, it exists, and is wonderful! The staff was so helpful in planning our special day, with lots of vendor recommendations that were reliable and easy to work with, and were very friendly at all times. Communication with staff was frequent and thurough, always giving complete and honest answers. On top of everything, the best part of all, the price is right! St. Andrew's can accomodate any size wedding and any budget--with them, you can have the wedding of your dreams without drowning in debt!
I highly, HIGHLY reccomend St. Andrew's for your wedding reception. They went above and beyond to make our special day easy to plan, and just plain magical!

St. Andrews was a wonderful place to have our wedding ceremony and reception. Cheryl, the banquet manager was wonderful, and so helpful for the entire year my husband and i were engaged. She was able to make sure everything went smoothly. The ceremony site outside at st. andrews is perfect for a summer/fall wedding. and the price was worth it . all the services provided by st. andrews was perfect!

St. Andrews was "hands down", not only the best deal, but also the most flexible venue that we came across when searching for ceremony/reception venues for our wedding. They really seemed to take pride in their work and care about our opinions. We would not hesitate to recommend St. Andrews for any other couple or special event. They will find whatever you need to make your day complete.

The only thing I wish is that they would have offered a cake. But that wasn't such an ordeal. I was very happy with the wedding, and so were all of my friends and family.

St. Andrews is the perfect place to have a wonderful reception without spending too much money! The staff is wonderful! Cheryl and Karen (banquet and catering managers) are so helpful during all of the steps of the planning and are very flexible in accomodating your requests. Karen even helped figure out how to bustle my dress--definitely not part of her duties! The food was good and very plentiful, the drinks were nice and strong and the place looked great. As a bride, you spend so much time planning how you want everything to look. I was so pleased with how the staff set up all of the decor. I had many compliments on the fun bartenders and the great staff. I would recommend this place in a heartbeat.

St. Andrew’s did a SUPERB job on our wedding. Karen, Pete and Cheryl were incredibly organized and helpful during the entire process. They always responded to me the same day. My mom is still getting calls asking who the wedding planner was… we did not have one, but the team at St. Andrew’s sure made it look like we did. The food was excellent, the top shelf liquor plentiful, and service outstanding. Not to mention that the room looked amazing. If you ever need a reference please feel free to use us. Thank you so much for making our day PERFECT!!!!
