Elysa and her staff made our wedding day beyond magical!!! It could not have gone better!! They were so professional, courteous, helpful, and sweet I can't speak of them highly enough!!! 5 stars is no where near high enough of a rating!! The food was amazing and the planning process was made so easy! They made amazing suggestions and didn't pressure us to choose more expensive options. Elysa has so many creative ideas. We would bring her ideas and she would take those ideas, run with them, and make them 1000 times better!! Reviewed on 01-11-2023

My wife and I got married at Ruffled Feathers in September of 2023. We honestly didn't have any idea what we were doing, but luckily we had Elysa to guide us, making our wedding a very special day. She was extremely responsive, accommodating, and kind. She helped keep the stress of wedding planning to a minimum. All of the food was made in house, and it turned out great! On top of that, the facility including the golf course is beautiful. We would recommend getting married here. Reviewed on 05-10-2023

I had a bridal shower for my daughter Sat July 8, 2023 & was very pleased with the extra attention we received from Elysa & her staff! Absolutely gorgeous venue overlooking the golf course! They were wonderful to work with as I planned the shower over the last 6 months. The food was served hot and I received many compliments on how good the food tasted! Elysa was very quick to respond to any question and email I sent her over the past few months! The shower was beautiful and her serving staff was professional & courteous! We were very pleased & would highly recommend this venue! Sara S. Reviewed on 09-07-2023

Andrea Allenson(bride)3 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 19-12-2021 There is so much to say about this venue, but I'm not sure exactly where to start. We had our ups and downs with them. They were kind of hard to contact because they have a high turnover rate in their staff (but maybe this was attributed to the pandemic?). We sent them multiple Excel spreadsheets with our timeline and ideal set up for the ceremony and reception, but some things were missed. I would think that would be fine if they said \"hey this isn't possible for X reason, just so you know\" or offered an alternative, but instead it came across like they ignored my day-of requests.During the event, they had great servers that were attentive. They weren't always careful with our decorations - our cake topper was broken when they removed it from the box (it was not broken when it arrived), but they did glue it back together. It was just a bit of a bummer since we had noticed it after our photographer took photos of the cake (with my hand missing). More attention to detail would have been appreciated. Overall, the cost was worth it and we have beautiful pictures and memories from there. And if you are looking for a venue in the winter that isn't pitch black (I've been to so many weddings where everything is dark the whole time), I was thoroughly impressed by the fact that the reception venue was so well lit. I'd recommend this place if you don't care about all of the details as much. Reviewed on 25-07-2022
Marie Herold(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 26-09-2021 We had an amazing experience at Ruffled Feathers.

Christine Tait(bride)3 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-07-2021 Overall, the day turned out wonderfully, but communication was a major issue for us from the time we signed the contract until we got to the week-of the even. We would go weeks without responses to our questions, and quite often when we got a response, our question hadn't been answered. If you overlook the added stress from that though, the space was beautiful, the food was fantastic, and everyone had a great time. Reviewed on 13-09-2021
Lori Alegria(bride)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-06-2021 Our reception on June 11, 2021 was a nightmare. Ruffled Feathers had told us last year when we tried to cancel that we wouldn’t be able to due to our contract. So, we had the party. We had to cut the guest list to 1/5th of what it was originally. Which was fine, it sucked, but it was fine. I show up to the venue fully ready to see all my wedding crafts and ideas brought to life but I get there with a panicked friend asking me where things go- she was kind enough to get there early and HELP put stuff where they need to go. The coordinator who I had spoken to about where all of my things needed to go was nowhere to be found. So I’m in my wedding dress telling people where my stuff was supposed to be. Signs, picture frames, guest book, gift table, etc. The mirrors and votive vases I had asked for were not placed nor were they ever placed on the tables.I had to get outside to take the bridal party pictures which now were cut short due to me doing the job of a coordinator ON MY WEDDING DAY. There were no golf carts provided to my bridal party on this 95° day to go take pictures (these were promised). I was walking 1/2 a mile in my wedding dress, one of my bridesmaids was 9 months pregnant. It was an absolute nightmare but- once again, we made the best of it and moved on. I get back to the venue after the pictures & still no coordinator to be found- I’m standing at the top of the stairs telling guests where to go as I’m bawling. I was unbelievably frustrated and devastated at how everything was panning out. The dinner itself was an awful experience start to finish. Started with loaded potato soup which I was SO EXCITED about- literally tasted like a cigar- they must’ve burnt something in it and served it anyway. I didn’t even eat the tiny mediocre looking salad which came after the soup because it looked nothing like the beautiful Mediterranean salad I had tried at our tasting. The entree was delicious but it seemed as though they didn’t make enough mashed potatoes since there was only about a tablespoon smeared onto the plate. To end our meal, we had donuts from the Orland Bakery (delicious!) and I had specifically told the coordinator we wanted coffee service/coffee bar- neither of these happened. As my husband and I cut our cake- BOOM a coordinator shows up right next to us and asks us if we need help. Is this guy serious? Has he never been to a wedding before? Ruffled Feathers- thank you for giving me such a terrible experience to top off the nightmare of being a Covid bride. We will have SO many stories to tell. Reviewed on 01-09-2021
Amanda Khor(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-07-2021 Honestly I would say 4.5 stars. I feel I need to be picky on this review for future brides. Let me say that I do not regret my choice on venue. I would go back here again for other events. Our day was perfect and we have great memories from it! There are a few glitches that I feel could improve. The venue is absolutely beautiful! On looks alone this could easily be 5 stars. We were drawn to this venue because it’s a square and really not a bad seat for guests. Also the bar is right in the ball room as well, so our guests could constantly be on the dance floor. It’s well lit and the natural light is out of this world. Their food is amazing! We did get a lot of compliments for guests on food from the apps to the sweets. The food service was slow. There was a huge lag between the salad and main entree. It was a large enough lag that my husband and I were trying to determine whether we go up and great tables first or wait for our food. We decided to go great our guests. Even after going to each of our tables, I noticed guests just getting their main dishes (close to 45mins-hour after our service started). I don’t know if the kitchen was slower that night or if it’s normal. We also had some issues with our vendor meals, which it was never communicated to us that they are fed after the guests. If we would have known that we would have put them in the main room with all of us and had them fed at the same time. Our dances and everything for set even further back because of our vendors being fed so late. I actually had to go find someone to get their meals for them, which I was embarrassed I had to do because I paid for my vendors to eat and expected them to be treated as well as myself and my husband. The communication from the venue is minimal. We had switched coordinators about 4 different times. As a Covid wedding that was postponed I understand that a lot has changed, but it seemed that our contract never got passed along. I ended having to email a few times or call to get information and then would get notified that we had someone else handling our wedding. It was difficult to deal with at times. Our tasting was scheduled late due to myself emailing a coordinator who I did not know what no longer there. You just have to take the initiative with communication and keep it consistent. Overall this venue I would highly recommend!! The bar tenders and servers were all amazing and fun! They were out dancing with us by the end of the night, which he loved! Elysa was around throughout the night and helped us pack up at the end. She was beyond helpful with setting up and cleaning up. I truly hope that they can get consistent coordinators because this could easily be a top venue! Reviewed on 03-08-2021
P S(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-09-2019 Ruffled Feathers was the perfect spot to have our wedding reception. The management was flexible and the packages included almost everything- including the wedding cake if you went with Orland Bakery. The bartenders and waiters were great and the night went smooth. We had our cocktail hour in the bar area and also on the outdoor terrace. We were also able to take pictures out on the golf course with our photographer. Giving 4/5 stars due to our assigned wedding coordinator changing a few times throughout the planning process which made for minor communication issues. Reviewed on 28-08-2020
Rachel Phillips(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-12-2019 We had our wedding at Ruffled Feathers last night. We had originally chosen Ruffled Feathers because of how beautiful the venue is! We had a winter wedding so we knew we had to love the look and vibe of the inside. Everything was picture perfect! Overall, we had a good experience. However, we were disappointed in the scheduling of a luncheon event prior to our wedding. We were told the luncheon would end at 2PM. There were still many guests from that event at the venue at 3:30PM when our ceremony started at 4:30PM. When we were trying to get our first look pictures and bridal party pictures, there were random people walking around watching us, kids running around, people smoking next to us, and random people taking pictures of us (we were limited on photo locations due to it being winter). We asked the venue coordinator to nicely ask the other guests to steer clear of our pictures and possibly wrap up the event and she refused. So, there were still guests there while our guests were arriving which was frustrating. We also had hired a separate day-of-coordinator who was a godsend. I’m not confident my “vision” would have come to life with just the venue staff.. they acted inconvenienced at times. Overall, we had the best night of our life in a beautiful venue with all of our favorite people. :) Reviewed on 23-12-2019

TAYLOR ZIGANTO(bride)2 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-11-2019 Writing an honest review for future brides:Pros- Food was tasty- Servers and bartenders were friendly and funny- Venue is recently updated and neutrally decorated so you can customize it to your visionUnfortunately I cannot give the venue more than 2 stars due to the following cons:- For some reason, the wedding coordinator made multiple promises the venue didn’t keep. She said there was an event scheduled til 2PM that would be cleaned up by 3, and that she would close off the bar area for our “first look” around 2:45. Our contract also stated that there would be no other events scheduled at the same time as our wedding. None of these things ended up being true. A lot of strangers were intruding on our first personal moments before our wedding when we got to the venue around 2:45 with our photographer and videographer. That wedding shower was still hanging around and not cleared out. The bar area wasn’t closed off and patrons sat at the bar as we were trying to capture our first look. There was also 2 tables of 6 people each doing their wedding tastings in the bar area. The excitement from the wedding party caused strangers to follow us around the venue as we tried to take pictures and capture moments without random people in our photos/video. Also, there was a birthday party downstairs at the same time as our wedding. Those guests also wandered around and were peeking in on our event. In addition to feeling intruded on and lied to, someone stole $100 from my mom’s purse in the bridal suite, which is located above the staircase that led down to the birthday party- During pre-ceremony photos, a staff member literally started vacuuming right outside the train of my dress and directly in the frame of the photo. Our photographer calmly asked her to stop and come back in a few minutes, to which the girl very rudely said, “No,” and kept vacuuming. We left and continued pictures elsewhere. I was appalled. - Tricky wording in contract. We paid to rent the space for 6hrs plus a fee for getting married at the gazebo. Due to bad weather, our ceremony was moved inside where our reception was also held. The venue wouldn’t waive the fee for the gazebo, so we paid to rent same space twice.Again, all this is on the event management and not the servers/bartenders who were fantastic. The end-to-end experience was grossly underwhelming. They should make brides feel special. Most of us are only doing this once in our lives. Our florist got married there and tried to warn me about how the venue handled her wedding earlier in the year, but I’d already signed the contract. Reviewed on 09-11-2019
Elizabeth Briick(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-10-2019 I found Ruffled Feathers through various search engines and websites. My Husband and I were on a tighter budget but we wanted elegance, a good location, and a trusted venue. After looking at a variety of venues from halls with caterers to elaborate mansions, we went with Ruffled Feathers based on their package pricing and the very personalized attention we received. Kathy is so wonderful and was extremely helpful when we had to make a wedding date change due to a family medical issue. She worked with us on not only our costs, but what would be the best option to give us the most for our money.We did start with a wedding coordinator that left, but we worked with Brianna for the last few months prior. She is really willing to go above and beyond to help make the day perfect. I appreciated that I could drop my centerpieces and decor off and they put them out. I really did not have to worry about much with respect to them. The package included our wedding cake through Orland Park Bakery and it was beautifully decorated to our specifications.The food and service from our ceremony through the end of our reception was impeccable.

My sons August 2019 wedding was ruined because of cold food and the staff acted as if their's was the first wedding Ruffled Feathers had ever hosted ! Rather than accept responsibility and graciously apologize– Ruffled Feathers management instead made excuses trying to justify their staff’s short comings in preparing and serving a hot meal and for our guests. Instead of showing my son and his wife some compassion and understanding – they chose to instead to be insensitive and arrogant. A wedding is a huge event and expense in most people’s lives!

It's also a one wedding venue which made it all the more fun for guests to roam! From appetizers through the \"4th Meal\" the staff put us first. So many of our guests could not stop talking about how full they were but also how they wanted to keep eating because the food was \"absolutely delicious.\" On top of all this greatness we were told by guests how nice, friendly, and accommodating the staff and servers were to them :) The staff was absolutely amazing! They all made sure to put us (the bride and groom) first! Brianna helped every step of the way from us entering the venue to our departure! Every time he or I were at the bar a drink was already being made for us without hesitation. For last call the bartenders came up to us and handed us a drink. The staff was absolutely flawless. The entire staff knew how crazy weddings can get and how engulfed the bride and groom become with guests and the entire night that they really took care of us and we cannot thank Ruffled Feathers and the ENTIRE staff for making our night so perfect for not only us but for making our guests rave about how awesome the staff and venue is.

Every other venue would give you a heads up, \"hey did you want to book before I release this date?!\" Then I called her to see if I had miscommunicated something....and when I asked her why would she have me believe my date is still available, why wouldn't you tell me, it got booked!? She goes, \"Oh I don't do that!\" I am appalled. You do not call someone you have been emailing? To tell them that date is no longer available? My best friends both threw events there and they did warn me about Kathy, and that she missed a lot of details for their events, I should have listened. Getting the date wrong is kind of a big deal but I would have changed it, had she been nicer/apologetic on the phone but instead she blamed me and said we are so busy we get booked everyday. That is great, but maybe next time just give folks a heads up if their date gets booked, when they think it's still available. Reviewed on 27-02-2019

Karra Badakhshanian(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-10-2018 I just got married at the Ruffled Feathers Golf Club on October 12th and I was very happy with our choice. We had 130 people attend and did not feel cramped in the room at all. It was a perfect size. We also had both the wedding ceremony and reception at the venue. All of our guests told me that they felt very welcomed and \"at home\" during the wedding. It is a very beautiful club and golf course. Since the day of my wedding was cold and rainy, we had to move the ceremony inside (instead of at the gazebo) which ended up being great. At first, I didn't like their \"Plan B Ceremony Location\" but was so happy that we ended up using it. They still made it look so beautiful and it was perfect.As for the reception, I loved the organization of the room (which I preplanned with the wedding coordinator) and the food/drinks were great! We got the highest package which included five passed around appetizers, soup, salad, three meal options, cake, a sweets table, AND a late night snack table! All of their packages also include an open bar which was super nice. My only criticism is I wish the wedding planners had more communication with me building up to the wedding day. I felt like I had a lot of questions which made me very stressed leading up to the day. Looking at how the day went, however, everything fell into place and was great though.

Every detail was in place and executed as planned.The ballroom was breathtakingly beautiful! It truly took my breath away when we first arrived and saw the room decorated. The sunlight lit up the room….and it was stunning! The tables were gorgeous with the Chivari chairs and gold chargers!Holding the cocktail hour in the bar & grill was perfect….and our guests were able to enjoy their appetizers and drinks outside on the deck overlooking the golf course on a beautiful evening. Beginning with cocktails and appetizers and moving on to the dinner, the wedding cake, the sweet table and the late night pizza….all of it was FANTASTIC! The food was delicious. We continue to receive compliments from our guests. And your servers were terrific.Colleen – I appreciate all that you did to manage the numerous details for our reception. Thank you for your prompt replies to my many questions and e-mails the past year. A huge thank you for staying on top of everything to insure that we had a fabulous evening which went smoothly!

Heather Collinet(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-08-2017 We got married at RF on August 4, 2017. I was pretty stressed because someone I worked with had their wedding there in 2016 and said it was awful. However, I shouldn't have worried. My guests had nothing but compliments for the venue. The food was superb (had dijon chicken, salmon, and a vegetarian plate). Most plates were empty by the end of dinner. We purchased the most expensive package, and when I walked into the ceremony and reception, the place looked like a million bucks. It exceeded my expectations and everyone thought the reception cost $5-10,000 more than it actually did. Colleen and Kathy were incredibly accommodating. I hired additional wedding planners that were probably unnecessary but gave me a bit of peace of mind. Once they left for the evening, Julie from RF took over and she was incredibly attentive - to the point that she was bringing us drinks at 10 pm (without being asked) outside while we did photos under the gazebo. The woman literally felt like she was everywhere at once. My only suggestion to brides is to make sure they have your groom's favorite drink. It was on the list of alcohol but they did not have any and he whined about it (but he got drunk and forgot about it by the end of the night). Also, I suggest having someone (like a parent or cousin) collect all the decor at the end of the night. Some items got lost in the clean up - nothing that was upsetting but we were a little bummed and items were thrown into boxes (our guest book canvas was bent when we picked it up the next day). These were very minor issues though compared to the perfection of the entire day. Reviewed on 09-08-2017

Stefanie Harris(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-05-2017 We recently got married here on 5.28.17. We fell in love with the venue as soon as we walked in. Kathy was our first point of contact. She was very friendly and had so many ideas/pointers for us that we felt very comfortable there. Their package had so many details already included that it made our 5 months of planning super easy. Colleen then became our second contact to set up the tasting and answer any little question as the planning went on. She was very prompt and professional throughout the process. They were super accommodating with everything and made it very easy. On the actual day; Daniel and Julie were amazing!! We had a little hiccup but they pulled through and all the staff helped us out avoid a small disaster :). Everyone was asked multiple times if they needed anything, which helped our grandparents continue drinking since they didn't have to get up from their table. The day flew by, but if I had to do it over, I would not hesitate to do everything the same way. If you are looking for a quick engagement without having to worry too much about certain details; definitely give RFCC a try!!! Reviewed on 31-05-2017
Ashley Tedesco(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-04-2017 As an out of state bride, my advice would be to not use this venue if you don't have plenty of time to visit as often as you need. While Colleen and Kathy are responsive via email, they were not helpful in terms of sending pictures or helping with a sense of the layout and decor options. As a bride, there are few things more stressful than not having a strong sense of how your big day is going to look.With that being said, I would recommend this venue if you live nearby. The food is AMAZING. I will say that again - the food is AMAZING. All of our guests are still telling us how great their dinners were. They're flexible with meal choices and were able to accomodate dietary restrictions. Dinner seemed a little rushed, but that might just be how weddings work. We were able to drive a few golf carts around to different spots for photos which was a blast! The venue has several beautiful spots for pictures, both inside and out. Colleen was great at setting up our decor for us. I dropped everything off the day before and let a list of how I wanted everything. Colleen took care of everything for us and made it all look very pretty. For our ceremony, we used the terrace room and had to ask the bar to turn the music off because we could clearly hear it from the ceremony room. I only mention that so it can be taken into consideration for future weddings.The dance floor was a good size and the layout of the room is completely flexible. The dance floor was important to me because other venues in the area had extremely small dance floors. I also enjoyed having access to the bridal suite throughout the evening, as it definitely came in handy to store our purses, extra shoes, etc. Reviewed on 10-04-2017
Brittany Dellorto(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-09-2016 We are so happy to have held our September wedding at Ruffled Feathers, it was honestly the wedding of our dreams. First off, we cannot say anything but amazing things about Kathy Pauley. While I was a bride with a lot of requests, she definitely delivered, going above and beyond to make sure all of the details were ironed out and perfect before our big day. Since Kathy was out of town the week of our wedding, we also had the pleasure of working with Daniel the day of, who also went above and beyond throughout the night to make sure everything was just as we imagined. While Kathy knew she was going to be out of town, she took the time to plan an extra mini rehearsal with our officiant and introduced us to those who would be covering for her, which definitely put us at ease! You can tell all of the staff at RF love what they do... from the girls who assist with the tasting, to our bartender Mike, everyone makes you feel so warm and welcome... like your wedding is their only priority. We got married in late September outside by the Gazebo and the grounds were perfect. We added a few flowers to the gazebo, but other than that the backdrop was perfect in our pictures. The grounds and the building alone have plenty of awesome picture opportunities, great if you are doing a first look on site! Cocktail hour was perfect, we held ours in the ballroom with the cake in the middle of the dance floor with plenty of room for our guests to mingle and enjoy the amazing (!) hors d'oeuvres. We had 170 guests at our wedding which allowed us plenty of room to fit in all of our tables comfortably (15 plus the head table). We had so many 'extra' decorations for the staff to put up the day of and they executed perfectly, better than I envisioned! Our guests have not stopped raving about the food, service, and fun additions to the night, like the butler passed champagne parade, sweets and late night snack tables, and signature cocktail drinks. We will be forever grateful for the staff at Ruffled Feathers for making our wedding day so perfect! I think it's safe to say I would recommend RF to anyone, you cannot beat the price for all that you get! Reviewed on 30-01-2017

After looking at several other venues, I am glad to say we chose Ruffled Feathers. They had the best variety of food on their brunch menu and the mimosa bar was something I did not find at other venues. From beginning to end Kathy and her staff were great. I didn't even get to meet Kathy until a week before our event, but she was always quick to respond to emails and voice mails. At the beginning of the shower, the shift managers met with us and were very accommodating when we had a couple last minute requests. The food was hot and the staff kept everything filled as long as people were still eating. The chefs were great at preparing the made to order omelette station, and the staff kept the mimosa bar flowing which all the guests loved. Thank you Ruffled Feathers for a great shower!

I looked at this venue to have her bridal shower here and possibly show it to her as a wedding venue since we originally planned on having a backyard small wedding I tried changing her mind! I LOVED the pictures I saw online and a friend of mine recently got married at this venue and I loved her pictures. I called a couple of times and left messages. When you call it brings you to the golf shop and then they transfer you which usually means you will be kept on hold for quite some time. I talked to a woman named Kathy about a smaller room and she seemed as if I was a bother when I called to talk about it. I asked questions about the size of the room and what rooms I could use and the do's and don't. a few minutes into our conversation I felt as if I was not important and she didn't care if I chose this venue or not. I wanted to feel that push and drive to go for this venue so I could relay that to my sister but it fell flat. Not impressed by the wedding director at all. After reading some of these comments I can see why people don't pick this venue because of her. Reviewed on 22-08-2016

Colleen Casey(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-01-2016 We held our wedding and reception at Ruffled Feathers this past January. We had an absolutely amazing experience with the venue, the staff and Kathy. We had a very specific vision for how we wanted our wedding to look and Kathy worked with us every step of the way. She ordered multiple different fabrics, a few different times until she found exactly what we wanted for the tables. We made a few other custom requests and Kathy and the staff were happy to assist us. When we talked to a lot of our friends that have been recently married, they were surprised to hear how flexible Ruffled Feathers was in accommodating our requests. Kathy allowed us to drop off everything a few days before the wedding with a list of instructions. When we showed up the day of the wedding, everything looked perfect. There was no set-up or work needed by our families, which was a relief. After the wedding, they packed up everything and held it so that we could come back after the wedding, which again, was super helpful. The pricing was also very competitive with other places in the area. We were very impressed with the value we received for the budget that we had. It's also one of the few places in the south suburbs that can accommodate 200+ people. We can't say enough good things about the venue, the staff and Kathy.

I just got married almost a week ago at Ruffled Feathers. The staff and venue itself was amazing and so beautiful. We went with the Diamond package and got all the upgrades. The worst part of the experience was KATHY!! The wedding was amazing but every single thing she did was ruined. She promised us for months she booked a photo booth and I asked multiple times for there info. Finally after 4-5 emails she gave me there info. I emailed them and they told me they never heard from her and they were out of business!! I ordered gold charger plates, never got those because of Kathy too. My entire family have called in and complained about her because she never answers her phone or emails. Even the staff all said she is impossible to work with. I loved our venue but I would choose somewhere else because of her. Kathy is your only contact the entire time you are planing your wedding and she is a complete and total nightmare to work with. Please if you are considering this venue talk to the staff!! I don't know how everyone elses comments on this site speak so highly of her because it could not be further from the truth.

I would actually rate this venue a 0. To start, I would like to say Kathy was prompt to responding to emails and setting up an appointment. However, that is all. When we showed up for our tour, Kathy greeted us upon arrival. Our tour started with some chatting about what we were looking for in the wedding etc. Once our guest count of around 150 came up, she wrote us off. Her overall mood had changed to snooty and disinterested with mostly one word answers. Our tour basically ended after 3 minutes. She did not even try to show us the outdoor ceremony site, which I stated I was looking for. My fiancé asked about different packages and stuff and her response was along the lines, with an attitude \"Oh, I already sent her the stuff, you can just go look at that.\" I felt as if we had wasted her time by going there. The \"conversation\" kept going in the direction of a Friday wedding because it would be cheaper for us. And that having a Saturday wedding with a forecasted $20,000 minimum (for our year) would be too expensive. Mind you, budgets and money had not been brought up at all. \r\rI was looking forward to seeing this venue because it is pretty, but unfortunately our decision was quickly made after the way Kathy treated us. I could already tell that she is not one for this job and would not be a good coordinator. I wish I had read the reviews prior as there are many others with the same experience. If you have your heart set to hold your event here, show up with a Louis Vuitton, fancy clothes, and a high guest count. We decided to hold our no max budget wedding elsewhere. Reviewed on 19-10-2015

Overall, this was a beautiful venue and very accommodating to everything I wanted. I would highly recommend this place to everybody looking for a venue for their next event. Reviewed on 10-09-2014
Rachel Bossingham(bride)2 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 26-07-2014 Ruffled Feathers' ballroom is a beautiful venue. The ballroom, with its long, floor length windows, made for some great pictures with enjoyable scenery. However, the outside location where we had our ceremony was a different story. We were told landscaping would be done by the summer when we booked with them in the winter. Unfortunately, that was not the case, and things were in bad shape. When my mom and I went to check out the place a month before the wedding, there were dead rosebushes and fake flowers in pots and cigarette butts in the grass. There was no landscaping done and the grounds simply looked like they had been unattended to for some time. My mom and my mother-in-law and her sister graciously landscaped on their own, so the outdoor ceremony ended up being beautiful. They brought in fresh flowers, cleaned up the grounds, cut down branches that were overgrown, etc. It blew me away that if they didn't take their own time and money to do these tasks, it would not have been done. \rAs for service, I think the bottom line is you need a wedding planner of your own if you want to book here. I'm thankful that one of my bridesmaids is a wedding planner, so she helped me a lot in terms of timelines, details, etc. But often times, I felt like I was in the dark because their wedding coordinator was hard to reach at times and didn't give a lot of detail/advice. There was also no one there to help us with the rehearsal. Make sure your officiant knows how to run a rehearsal if you don't have a wedding planner. During the day of the wedding, I was most upset about the lack of communication. I had a timeline for RF that I made myself, with little direction from the wedding coordinator, and I felt like no one on staff had looked at it. My DJ was confused by some things, so he had to come find and ask me the questions because there was no \"point person\" on RF staff. It bothered me that I had to worry about the logistics of the night when I was told someone on staff would be there to assist me. Overall, I would not recommend this venue unless you have a wedding planner of your own, and you are prepared to take on a lot of the work yourself. Reviewed on 08-09-2014
Diana Cheevers(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-08-2014 My now husband (love saying that!) and I held our wedding reception at Ruffled Feathers in August 2014. We couldn't be happier and know that we picked the absolute best place for our big day. Repeatedly, the feedback that we receive is that it was the best wedding ever. Now I know that this is a phrase that's used loosely, but I truly feel that our guests mean it :) Much of the credit goes to Ruffled Feathers. The venue is absolutely beautiful and creates quite the impression when guests enter. It is a single ballroom surrounded by windows overlooking a beautifully landscaped golf course. A nice feature is that there is a patio directly off the ballroom. This allowed anyone who smokes to still feel a part of the party (as opposed to walking through a lobby to get to the front entrance as we observed at other venues) Also, their bar is beautiful (made of dark wood and slate). This was another positive as it gave the room class and character. It definitely wasn't your standard banquet hall bar built into the wall. Ruffled Feathers packages are very inclusive and fairly priced. This value allowed us to spoil our guests with butler passed hors d'oeuvres, a champaign parade, and late night snacks- not to mention prime rib for the main entree. All the food was delicious- cooked perfectly with lots of flavor! The staff provided excellent service. I must express my gratitude to Kathy Pauley for being so attentive and wonderful to work with. I can't say enough nice things about her. She was quick to respond to my phone calls and emails and supported all the special requests that we made. She is everything a catering director should be and is the reason why our wedding was such a success. Thank you Ruffled Feathers for a beautiful day!!! Reviewed on 03-09-2014

This past weekend I hosted my daughter and her husband's wedding at Ruffled Feathers Golf Club. I couldn't have been more pleased and we received so many wonderful compliments from our guests. Kathy Pauley and the entire staff was amazing. From the very beginning, we received personalized attention and our calls and emails with any questions were responded to very quickly. On the day of the wedding, everything was set up perfectly, just as we had requested and they even took care of setting up the candy bar for us. The room was beautiful and the food was delicious. We had a choice menu and each entree was prepared perfectly and served on time. My compliments to the chef as well, because it's not easy to serve a choice menu which included salmon, chicken and 100+ steaks, each cooked perfectly, none over done. The champagne parade started the night off and the service throughout the night was exceptional. Daniel made sure everything ran smooth and the bartenders were friendly and efficient. The staff even helped gather all of our things at the end of the night and stored them till the following day. I can't thank Kathy and the team at Ruffled Feathers enough. You helped to make this a truly magical day. I would recommend this venue in a heartbeat! Reviewed on 16-07-2014
Danielle Maziur(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-06-2014 Ruffled Feathers was the perfect setting for our wedding. The ballroom is breathtaking with lots of windows overlooking a very well-kept golf course. The gazebo was absolutely stunning for our ceremony site - full vegetation, just beautiful! Kathy went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect and stress free for our big day. She is completely hands on and is very detail-oriented. I had no doubt Kathy would make things perfect. Kathy's staff is friendly and incredibly helpful - they all understand what the little things mean to the bride and groom on their big day. I have absolutely no complaints and would recommend Ruffled Feathers to anyone looking to plan a wedding. Kathy is incredible creative and flexible for any type of budget. It didn't matter what we spent, we were treated as kings and queens and our wedding was perfect...food was great, too!\rThe possibilities at Ruffled Feathers are endless! We had chicken and steak, a sweets table, a chocolate fountain, late night pizza, and iced tea and lemonade at the ceremony...you name it - Kathy will make it happen. \rAnother thing to note - the packages that Ruffled Feathers offers are incredibly inclusive...not many things to add on. One of those is the cake, which is included in the cost of your reception, but it's not made at Ruffled Feathers, it's made at a small bakery in Oak Park. There are many, many flavors to chose from, and it's all custom to your wants/needs, as opposed to a \"standard\" cake. It was absolutely delicious, and the people that work with you on the cake are fantastic!\rThank you, Ruffled Feathers, for making our wedding day so memorable and our planning so stress free!

Maureen Hall(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-10-2013 We had our reception at Ruffled Feathers and it was amazing. Our wedding ended up getting done earlier then we had been told and so guests started arriving at the reception about a half hour before the event started. The staff was great. They let everyone into the bar area so they could mingle and have some cocktails while they finished getting the ballroom ready. when we came into the ballroom everything was so beautiful. Our guests had a wonderful time, the food was delicious and the cake, provided by the bakery they use was beautiful. Cathy and her team did an excellent job helping make our day go as smoothly as possible. The service was great, and we got a lot for our money. My mother is still talking about the chocolate fountains, and my husband and guests loved the open bar. Oh they also redid the ballroom recently, and it looks fabulous, we went there for our tasting and they had just started the renovations and it is so much nicer in there. The only negative I have wasn't even with them, my DJ while he was a really nice guy, some of the things I wanted to do didn't get done, but he isn't affiliated with Ruffled Feathers, and my photographer but only because there where more family photos I wanted done that weren't.

Beth Lotz(bride)2 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-09-2013 I just had by wedding ceremony/reception here Sept 1, 2013 and I am so disappointed. The ballroom was fantastic and I fell in love but the outside of the facility needs help as well as the wedding coordinator, Kathy. She was horrible. My fiancé and I went in to check the place out and had mentioned that we were having a small wedding to save costs so Kathy mentioned some other packages that they could offer instead of the normal wedding package, so that was great. But as soon as we mentioned \"saving costs\" her attitude changed. Our entire conversation seemed as if we were bothering her and she couldn't wait to get us out of there. She has horrible communication and took (normally) a week to respond to emails/phone calls. She never contacted me about anything unless I contacted her, which was a LOT since I had to basically figure everything out on my own. There is just too much to even say about the poor service we received on my wedding day. First and foremost I had guests actually telling me that Kathy was rude to them and stated that she seemed a little spacey. My guests should NOT be noticing things like that! My fiancé arrived to the facility about an hour before the ceremony started and Kathy wasn't even there yet. He had to set up our unity sand ceremony things since nobody else had done it, Kathy had given our DJ the tulle I provided and said \"here, can you do something with this? you look more creative then me\". Excuse me!? She left ribbon and other items used to set up the ballroom just sitting on the gift table, so that when the guests went in to find their seats they could see it. She put the \"Bride\" and \"Groom\" signs in the wrong spots on the table so the groomsman's wife switched it for us, she had flowers sitting on the cake table and punch table that must have been left over from the night before because they weren't from my florist and weren't supposed to be there and did NOT match. We had a champagne brunch that was buffet style and the chef at the omelette station packed up before everyone was able to get one-including me. Then the staff came out about 40 minutes into brunch and asked if they could start taking the food away-as people were still coming up for more! \rWe also had talked about doing chair covers and sashes. I told her the week before that we wanted them and we had looked at colors prior to that and decided the eggplant was the one we wanted. Kathy didn't respond to my message so after 5 days of waiting I finally called her-at this point it was 2 days before the wedding. She mentioned getting my email and mentioned she would order the chair covers and sashes...why this wasn't done when she first got my email, I don't know. Well it turns out that the sashes we wanted were sold out so instead of calling me back to tell me she emailed me and mentioned maybe doing the plum-which we had looked at but it was not at all the right color. I responded and called and she had never called back. She took it upon herself to go ahead and order the color I had said I DIDN'T want. Nobody noticed except for my and the bridesmaids, but it's the fact that I specifically said NOT to use that color and she did anyways. \rIf I had the chance to do it over again, I would absolutely go somewhere else and save myself the added stress. \rI am currently trying to get ahold of the general manager but he has about the same communication skills as Kathy.

She bends over backwards to ensure your day is perfect and the way you want it. She also is available via phone/email/ or in person with any questions you have during your wedding planning months. Her team is amazing as well. They did the entire set-up for us, allowing my mom, sister, and I to sit at home the morning of the wedding and not have to rush to put DIY centerpieces together at the hall. We were so thankful for this aspect. On my wedding night, everyone was so nice and so personable! Tristan and Theresa were so accommodating, fun, and really made our night great! Tristan even put up with my bridal party! \r\rThe hall itself is beautiful and elegant. We had AMAZING photos especially in the gazebo at night! The ballroom overlooks the golf course and has a beautiful patio to walk out onto. The bar and carpets were just redone this spring and look beautiful! The bridal room is spacious and has a private bath. The banquet packages are super accommodating, providing options in different price ranges. The packages provide so many perks to help make your wedding great! When I walked into the hall on my wedding day I was taken aback by how perfect everything looked. They set up the tables just the way I asked! The coral organza chair ties Kathy recommended matched our colors perfectly and added such a great burst of color to the room. \r\rThe butler passed hor d'oeuvres and the cheese display was delicious and impressive. There was more than enough for everyone! The champagne parade was so exciting and my guests loved it! The food was AMAZING! We had roasted garlic sundried tomato soup, the mimosa salad, almond chicken, cozumel blend (veggies), and red roasted herb potatoes. The almond chicken they served was HUGE and cooked to perfection!

We knew that we would be the primary focus of the hall that night. I’ll begin by saying that the value of the package was amazing! We needed to keep to a tight budget and were able to have a beautiful wedding at a fair price. \r\rThe room was spectacular. The room is basically wall to wall windows which overlook the golf course. In addition, they had just had the bar remodeled with stacked stone and a deep rich wood before our wedding. It was beautiful! Also, they just had the carpet re-done to a very neutral color that will complement almost any wedding color. In addition, the chandeliers add a great touch to the beauty of the room. And, we had our own bridal suite with a bathroom which was also a great touch. \r\rThe food was AMAZING! We had the Italian Wedding soup, Mimosa salad, Dijon Chicken with Green Beans & the Twice Baked Potato. We also had our cake arranged through a local bakery which was part of the RF package. The bartender service seemed to be fairly quick the entire night as well which we appreciated. \r\rThe service was impeccable. Every server was quick, professional, and courteous. There was never an issue with not having enough servers to guests. Also, the servers did a fantastic job setting up all of our reception décor to a tee. We had a lot of things that we wanted in a particular place and they made sure that everything was perfect. \r\rFinally, our coordinator, Kathy Pauley, was great. Originally, we signed our contract with Toby who was the coordinator before Kathy. Kathy did a great job. There were a couple of times that we lost touch in communication. However, this woman is a wonder! She has a lot on her plate and never fails to do a great job.
