The Royal Melbourne is a hidden gem and such a perfect wedding venue in so many different ways. We had our wedding on June 10th and the day couldn't have been more perfect. Megan, the day of coordinator, was absolutely wonderful to work with throughout the entire wedding process. Communication was always open and clear with the venue. My questions were always answered in a timely manner and as we got closer to the wedding Megan helped work with us to make sure everything was perfect the day of the wedding. I didn't stress one bit during the entire wedding weekend and got to enjoy every moment of it. I cannot thank Megan enough for all of her help with everything she and the staff really go above and beyond from the day you book the venue. From the very first day we toured the venue, we knew it was the one. I loved that we were the only wedding there. It just made the day so much more special. Not only is the venue beautiful, but the food is DELICIOUS. We still continue to get compliments on the food a month after our wedding. It was probably the best food and service we have experienced at a wedding in a long time. A variety of food and drink options that please a wide variety of guests. We just got our wedding pictures back and they are just amazing. So many great spots to take pictures at the venue whether you do a first look or not. The spot where the ceremony is located is intimate and I loved that it was off the golf course and had a great backdrop for pictures. Do not pass up on having your wedding at the Royal Melbourne. Our wedding day was so special and I truly thank the entire RM staff for ensuring this. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! AMAZING!!

Absolutely beautiful wedding venue with amazing food and staff. I looked at over 12 venues nearby and this was definitely the most gorgeous, yet cost effective. We had plenty of space for our 140 guest wedding and didn't need to hire a day-of coordinator since the venue provides one for you. They have a gorgeous outside for pictures and you're the only wedding there for the day so it feels super private. Only complaint is that the ceremony location is a little cramped and our guests were in direct sunlight.

We just had our wedding at the Royal Melbourne on 07.29.23 and we were beyond pleased with our choice of venue. For starters the outside patio is the perfect place to have your cocktail hour (we lucked out with amazing weather). All of our guests raved about how the receptions room and the patio were connected giving the reception and outdoor/indoor feel. Megan is the main employee you work with during the planning stages, and she is so so helpful! She always answered all of my questions and really helped with whatever we needed. My guests also raved about our bartenders! The entire staff was just great, and I am so excited to see our photos from the golf course. If you are trying to decide on the perfect venue for your day, I hope this helps because 10/10 I would recommend this awesome location and awesome staff!

The Royal Melbourne is a BEAUTIFUL county club. There is a great balcony that overlooks the course and gives guests the opportunity to get some fresh air while still being a part of the party. The Royal Melbourne was very helpful through the whole planning process, very prompt on answering emails and providing organization details and information. The two star review unfortunately comes from the actual night of the wedding. Not only were the specific beer selections we made not available, the club \"ran out\" of beer and whiskey one hour before the wedding was over. The meal choice we selected at our tasting was not what was served, and the staff was using our photo booth to take pictures instead of tending to our guests.While the club did apologize and send a refund for the incorrect entrée served, we are still very disappointed with the level of service and professionalism the night of our wedding.

Our daughter’s wedding reception took place at Royal Melbourne CC in November, 2022. We couldn’t have been more pleased with the venue and Megan, the catering director. From the day we toured the site to the wedding day itself, Megan was very professional as well as kind, helpful and a good communicator. The food including appetizers, soup, salad, entree and dessert table were all delicious. We offered vegan options as well as meat and fish and all were well received. The servers and bar tenders were all very capable and professional. The venue was decorated with our personalized items as we requested. We had some bad weather which required some changes which Megan handled calmly and completely. I highly recommend Royal Melbourne.

We had our daughter's wedding there on Saturday and it could not have been more perfect. Megan Duszynski, catering manager, was on top of it from the start. Great communication and perfect execution. The room setup was great, the stage for the 11 pc band perfect. She worked with all the vendors to make it happen. It is a beautiful venue and I encourage anyone to book it if possible.

Talk about a best kept secret! If you’re thinking about somewhere to have your wedding, look no further. We have had the best experience possible and our day was absolutely perfect. Seriously, I cannot recommend Royal Melbourne Country Club enough! The food was outstanding, and the staff is incredible. They truly make you feel like family on your special day. Kim, the event coordinator, was getting us drinks, helping to bustle my dress, checking on us constantly, and even took time to pin my dress when one of the bustle loops broke! They truly go above and beyond. As a “covid bride” I also loved that they let me pick a backup date so we could have a small reception right after our ceremony followed by a big party later this summer. We honestly weren’t going to look here based on the pictures that the knot had, but went on a whim (they were one of few places allowing us to tour at the beginning of covid) and I’m SO happy we did. We felt safe the entire time, guests are still raving about the food, and our dream wedding truly became a reality! Kim was super great to work with and answered my millions of emails without missing a beat! She also helped coordinate vendors so that we didn’t need to hire a coordinator and got to save some money on that end. If you’re on the fence, I’ll be the first to say, go check it out - the venue is BEAUTIFUL and the people are INCREDIBLE. You WILL fall in love!

I can't say enough wonderful things about Royal Melbourne! My husband and I had to reschedule our April 2020 date to June 2020 and let me tell you....the RMCC team worked their tails off to keep us informed and stay in close contact as we tried to pick another date. They all truly bent over backwards to make our day more amazing than we could have ever thought - everyoen gave 110%, from Michelle, to Kim, to Pasquale, to even Ed the general manager getting involved to make our day not only happen but to make it beyond beautiful. We were so very lucky to have picked Royal Melbourne before covid hit, because they really came through for us when it mattered most. The food was PHENOMONAL (everyone kept telling us so!), the service was fantastic, the grounds are a dream to capture photos on, and the twinkly-lit veranda was simply magical. We are forever grateful to Royal Melbourne and their amazing staff for our unforgettable day!

From the moment we booked Royal Melbourne for our wedding reception until the big day, the staff was so attentive and kind, making sure our event was the very best it could be. In particular, Kim and Michelle were FABULOUS! We worked with both during our wedding planning (Michelle at the beginning and Kim towards the end) and both were so helpful. We cannot thank Kim and Michelle enough for their wonderful work in the weeks leading up to and including the big day. They patiently took every one of our (many!) phone calls and made sure that each detail was perfect. On the big day, Kim was a huge help in making sure everything ran smoothly.

Royal Melbourne Country Club provided us amazing service for our daughter's wedding in July 2020. Her original wedding venue, scheduled a year earlier, was closed due to the pandemic. With about 4 weeks notice RMCC planned and facilitated a wonderful event for our 14 family members. The couple said it turned out not to be \"plan b\" but that their wedding was very special-- from the beautiful site to the food including the wonderful staff. I cannot say enough good things about the general manager, Ed, and our event director, Kim Mueller, who both took such a personal interest in making this event perfect for us. Our family could not have asked for more support at a stressful time when we essentially planned an entirely 2nd different wedding with only weeks to go. I highly recommend them.

The Royal Melbourne was a dream to work with during a nightmare of a year! Getting married in 2020 was not easy...there were many difficult decisions to make and changes that needed to be done in order to have our special day, and through it all Kim and the Royal Melbourne were there for us! So flexible, so accommodating, and so KIND! Through postponements, drastic guest list cuts, and safety procedures, they made sure everything was perfect for the big day. We were able to have our 50 person wedding and feel completely safe...while having a blast! Kim is a pro...everything was set for the day perfectly, and you can tell she has a lot of experience! The food was great, the room beautiful, and the staff friendly. With all the changes COVID forced us to make, I'm so so so happy that changing our venue wasn't one of them. We also know a couple that got married there pre-covid and had a much larger wedding and they also had an amazing experience (they recommended us) so regardless of when you get married, how many people, etc, the Royal Melbourne has got you. The most important thing I learned throughout the wedding planning experience is that you want to surround yourself with venues and people that put YOU and your spouse first, above all else. The Royal Melbourne does that and more!

We were so happy with the Royal Melbourne from our first visit all the way to picking up our stuff after the big day! Michelle was so helpful and understanding of how much goes in to the wedding planning process. She worked with us quickly and often to ensure the day was absolutely perfect. The staff, the food, landscaping, decor... everything was perfect! We have gotten tons of compliments on our wedding and are so happy we reserved the Royal Melbourne!

Royal Melbourne was the perfect wedding venue for our summer ceremony and reception! Both Michelles were very helpful and organized throughout all the planning and on the day-of; they thought of special details I hadn’t even considered. We chose to move out ceremony inside a few days because the weather was going to be so hot and humid, and this was not a problem at all. The golf course was very beautiful and the food was excellent. I got so many compliments from guests about the service, food, location, and scenery. If I could do it all over again, I would do it exactly the same :-)

I had my wedding here in July 2018. It was the perfect day! Everyone who worked at Royal Melbourne did everything they could to make sure my vision came true. It was raining that day and they were super accommodating with options and letting me choose to have it outside (it stopped raining for pictures and the ceremony, thank goodness!). It was very easy to get in contact with Kim, who was our wedding coordinator. Michelle was there as well, it was her first wedding as the new coordinator. They both did an amazing job! If I could do it all over again, I would have my wedding there, hands down. Everything was beautiful and modern. And the food was delicious!

Royal Melbourne is amazing! We had our ceremony and reception there in September and I am so thankful that we found this place. It is a beautiful place and has so many great locations for photos. We ended up with about 190 people and it felt like the perfect size for that. We had our ceremony outside in the lawn area by the clubhouse and not only was it beautiful with the big trees and landscaping, but I also felt like we had privacy from the rest of the golf course. I loved how open, airy, and full of light the whole building felt and especially loved the window doors in the reception room that we were able to open once the dancing started. All of the food was delicious - and not just by wedding food standards. Kim is awesome and was so helpful through the whole process and on the wedding day. We considered getting a day of coordinator because so many friends had recommend to, but decided against it because we realized Kim was so on top of everything and really knew her stuff. We still are getting compliments on how everything went and how awesome Royal Melbourne was. Another huge reason we were so happy was that we really felt like Royal Melbourne was reasonably priced. Weddings are expensive and it makes it so much better when you feel like you're not wasting anything.

When planning our wedding we knew we wanted a golf course for the scenery and the convenience of having the outdoor ceremony and reception in the same place. We looked at Royal Melbourne first and several others later the following days but nothing could top what we noticed right away at Royal Melbourne! The Country Club's event planner Kim is very friendly and accommodating as well as immensely helpful! For someone who had never been in a wedding, with two sets of parents who had never planned weddings, Kim gave us the run-down with plenty of suggestions and options and helped us envision our dream......even as the storm clouds rolled in Kim stayed calm while laying out our options. Ultimately we took on some sprinkles and but Kim and her team made sure everything aside from the clouds went off without a hitch. We rented the bridal suite which was a nice getaway for the bridal party between photos, the ceremony, and cocktail hour, and it has a window that overlooks the ceremony site so we could peek out the blinds on guests arriving which was fun! As far as dinner goes, my dad and many guests said it was the best NY strip steak they ever had, though the parmesan crusted chicken and grouper with mango relish with rice pilaf and a wedge salad were just as delicious. After the wedding we were able to head to the hotel while Kim's staff stored our centerpieces and other decor and bits in her office and we were able to pick it up the next day, along with our wrapped cake! The whole experience with Royal Melbourne was wonderful and I enjoy reminiscing over our photoshoot on the picturesque golf course and memories of the amazing dinner hour and dancing! Thank you Kim and staff, you are exceptional!

My husband and I highly recommend the Royal Melbourne Country Club, without reservation. We knew from the moment we met Kim, that we were in good hands. We were blown away by Kim's knowledge, expertise and attention to detail. Kim was professional, organized and thorough and anticipated our needs before we had to ask (or even knew we needed them!). I was able to relax on my wedding day because she followed through to make sure everyone did their part. Furthermore, she communicated with the other vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page. We dropped off our wedding favors, card boxes, décor, and other wedding essentials the night before the wedding and the staff promised to take care of everything (and they did!). We were married on Saturday, June 13th, a day that started out quite dreary due to rain. With our wedding scheduled to be out in the garden, Kim kept a watchful eye on the radar and checked in frequently. A couple of hours before the wedding, we decided to move the ceremony to the veranda. This meant that the veranda had to be set up for the wedding then immediately after, set up for our cocktail hour. A task in which the staff handled flawlessly and effortlessly. We were relieved that the rain held out long enough for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and outdoor pictures. The grounds were impeccably maintained with beautiful flowers and greenery. The friendly staff moved swiftly to keep everything moving and on schedule. I could keep writing but I'm sure you get the point. If you are looking for a beautiful, high class, and professional venue, look no further than the Royal Melbourne.

I was just recently married at Royal Melbourne Country Club in September 2013. Everyone and everything there was perfect! We chose this venue after looking at several others in the Chicago suburbs and fell in love with it. Compared to a lot of the other venues, Royal Melbourne was SO flexible with everything. We had such a tough time with other venues about what we could bring in and what we couldn't, but they made it so easy. Michelle and Kim, the coordinators at Royal Melbourne, are a dream team. They are so responsive to everything and were always such a help with everything. Especially once it got closer to the wedding and I was a stressed bride! Kim checked in on me as the wedding neared to make sure I was doing okay and to ask if I needed help with anything. She was there for the wedding and made sure everything ran smoothly throughout the whole day and night. We couldn't have asked for better people to work with. They were always so communicative, enthusiastic, and approachable. Honestly, they sold this venue.\r\rWe had about 170 guests and we had the ceremony outdoors on the lawn. It seemed like there was enough room to hold all of our guests, although, honestly I wasn't paying complete attention to the audience as my focus was on my husband! The big tree on the lawn is such a pretty back drop for the ceremony, and during the evening hours the light was so pretty. The cocktail hour was out on the veranda and it is so pretty being able to look out over the golf course. They even left some of the furniture out with table cloths so that guests had places to sit and eat. The ballroom had more than enough room! We could have probably fit around 200 without it feeling cramped. The appetizers and entrees were all delicious! All of the guests were complimenting the food the whole night. \r\rThe cost of entrees at Royal Melbourne were very comparable to a lot of the venues in the Chicago suburbs. Mainly the differences come with taxes. Either way, it was worth every penny! Our wedding was absolutely gorgeous and I couldn't have asked for a more amazing place to host it. I wish I could live it over and over again!\r\rThank you Royal Melbourne for giving us such a perfect wedding!

After my first tour at Royal Melbourne, I fell in love with the surroundings. We booked our reception there, and I am so glad that we did! The experience was perfect. The staff was very responsive and helpful. They worked closely with us and met with us a few different times so that we could develop the floor plan and create the best timeline for the evening. All of our guests commented on how beautiful everything was. The ballroom was gorgeous, and our guests had comfortable chairs at their tables. The bridal party had a separate space for storing belongings, and they kept our gifts locked up for us once all the guests had arrived. The staff worked well with our other vendors, and they helped us to incorporate family traditions in our reception. My only complaint was that the food was better at the tasting than at the actual reception. My chicken was a little dry, which may be due to the number of people served. We tried 2-3 entrees at the tasting, but we served about 100 people at the reception. The chef was able to accommodate our guests’ special needs related to food allergies, gluten free, and vegetarian entrees. Overall, our reception turned out better than we imagined, and we had the time of our lives!

I was one of the unlucky brides who contracted with the Country Squire, only to be informed a few months before my wedding that they went out of business. Little did I know at the time that this was the best thing that could happen to me! Donna, Pascal and the rest of the staff at Royal Melbourne went out of their way to ensure that my wedding day was perfect and stress free. Working with Donna was like having a wedding planner – she knew the details I was forgetting, gave her suggestions when I asked for them and let me create my vision when I didn’t! Since I was planning my wedding from out of town AND didn’t contract with them until just a couple months before the wedding, their flexibility in scheduling my tasting and walkthroughs of the venue was paramount. Even the most organized of brides get overwhelmed the few weeks before the wedding with all the details that have to come together, and Donna not only helped keep me on track, but was understanding when I had to be a little late on something. The day of, my parents, husband and I expected details to be forgotten, and were pleasantly surprised when it went off without a hitch. Even on a scorching, record breaking heat day the guests couldn’t stop raving about the outdoor setting and the staff worked tirelessly to ensure everyone was comfortable – even suggesting a different route to get guests outside so they could stop by a water cooler on the way. As if that’s not enough, even after realizing that the Pascal had all of the details of the reception covered, we had a guest arrive after dinner and cake had been served. Since she slipped in, unbeknownst to me even, my dad assumed Pascal would miss her and went over to ensure she was served dinner, but Pascal was already on top of it and she was served before my dad got there. Unparalleled service would be an understatement, and I would recommend Royal Melbourne to anyone.

Working with Donna was like having a wedding planner – she knew the details I was forgetting, gave her suggestions when I asked for them and let me create my vision when I didn’t! Since I was planning my wedding from out of town AND didn’t contract with them until just a couple months before the wedding, their flexibility in scheduling my tasting and walkthroughs of the venue was paramount. Even the most organized of brides get overwhelmed the few weeks before the wedding with all the details that have to come together, and Donna not only helped keep me on track, but was understanding when I had to be a little late on something. The day of, my parents, husband and I expected details to be forgotten, and were pleasantly surprised when it went off without a hitch. Even on a scorching, record breaking heat day the guests couldn’t stop raving about the outdoor setting and the staff worked tirelessly to ensure everyone was comfortable – even suggesting a different route to get guests outside so they could stop by a water cooler on the way. As if that’s not enough, even after realizing that the Pascal had all of the details of the reception covered, we had a guest arrive after dinner and cake had been served. Since she slipped in, unbeknownst to me even, my dad assumed Pascal would miss her and went over to ensure she was served dinner, but Pascal was already on top of it and she was served before my dad got there. Unparalleled service would be an understatement, and I would recommend Royal Melbourne to anyone.
