We got married here on 9/15/23 and are so happy with our decision! Amy, Janene, Jeff, and the entire staff are amazing to work with. We always knew we could email / call about different questions and they would respond immediately with great advice and insights. We had the east ballroom, so our ceremony was down near the water, and it was all absolutely gorgeous! There are so much greenery and flowers throughout the entire place, that we didn’t even buy flowers for the ceremony. The price for the value you receive at Silver Lake made the decision even easier.

I don't even know where to begin with describing Silver Lake! Amy and Janene were so incredibly helpful from the start. I was a very anxious bride and Amy made sure I felt comfortable every step of the way. They truly know what they're doing in terms of coordinating a beautiful wedding. From our first tour, we saw how beautiful the grounds were, and how professional the staff was. Booking and choosing our menu was so easy. They checked in prior to the wedding at just the right times, and answered my millions of questions without hesitation. The day of was absolutely perfect. The locker room is great for getting ready, Amy kept us on track in terms of timeline (this woman even helped me bustle my dress- for a while!!!), the food was AMAZING and the pictures came out fantastic. At night, the whole courtyard was lit up beautifully. We have had so many compliments on our venue. Brides, if you're looking for an all inclusive, easy, beautiful, and affordable venue, I can't recommend Silver Lake Country Club enough. Reviewed on 07-10-2023

Ashley DeLange(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-10-2022 Silver Lake was literally the best venue from the second we walked through the door. We had visited many other vendors but Silver Lake was unmatched in their service from the get go. They were recommended by multiple friends who also had an amazing experience. They were accommodating every step of the way, their list of vendors made many parts of the wedding planning process easy, and their food was delicious. Our photos as well as our guests photos came out incredible. I feel like a lot of people say they wouldn’t redo their wedding but Silver Lake is a huge reason we would do it again in a heartbeat.

Amy and her staff did an awesome job making sure our special day was all I imagined it would be. My guests are still talking about how great the food and the bartenders were 5 months later. Amy took the ease and worry away from me with planning & preparing for my wedding by guiding me every step of the way. Her & her staff really took the place of an actual wedding coordinator by making sure everything was in place and went as planned. Due to the size of my wedding party & guests list, I decided to rent both East and West garden areas for my reception and the ceremony was outside the garden facility.

Daniel Shao(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 29-05-2022 It is hard to beat the price of this venue and the location. The food was a 7/10, which is okay for the price. It might have been the night of our wedding, but we felt it was understaffed because there was a wedding next door and our service people spent more time there than at our wedding. Also, the walls are not that sound-proof: we heard the loud music from the wedding in the next room. Amy is a pleasure to work with, she is very fast at responding and will cater to your every need. The outdoor space where the ceremony was held was very beautiful and everything was set up nicely for us. Reviewed on 23-11-2022

This made Silver Lake not only the first but the best choice, knowing that they set the standard for customer service in the Chicagoland Southwest Suburbs. The staff kept our event running seamlessly from start to finish, particularly Amy. From testing polaroid cameras to reminding me to bustle my dress to even stepping in with a mic when our DJ had to step out, she went above and beyond, and she is just an example of the service we received from the entire staff at Silver Lake.

After we ultimately made the tough decision to postpone the wedding for a year, they were nothing less that incredibly supportive and made the date transition so easy. From the days leading up to our wedding, Amy and Janene were so patient at answering all my last minute panic questions and made our day absolutely perfect. Even the staff on the day of the event was absolutely amazing and extremely helpful.

We had our ceremony on the West Patio. It was absolutely gorgeous. They have the most beautiful flowers. They look great in all of our pictures. We did not have to travel anywhere for additional pictures. They have pretty flowers all around and a gazebo that was perfect for pictures.The food was delicious. We had many compliments from our guests about how much they enjoyed the appetizers and dinner. The staff was phenomenal. They were efficient and polite to all of the guests. The bartenders are amazing, especially Tony. People were impressed on how he remembered what they were drinking. We highly recommend Silver Lake. They went beyond our expectations. It was better than we had imagined and we our so glad that we went with Silver Lake for our day. Reviewed on 12-07-2018

We visited 10 venues in 3 days and we booked SL because of their calmness and professionalism.

The food was AMAZING, we were getting compliments all night that it was the best food anyone ever had at a wedding. We worked with Janene during the months leading up to our wedding and she was AWESOME!! She made sure everything was how we wanted it and went smoothly. Another huge perk here is that tax and tip is included in the per plate cost! This was what sealed the deal for us when choosing a reception, you can't beat their prices and quality!

Allison Lambert(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-09-2017 Silver Lake was the perfect venue for our wedding! We chose the lakeside/East Garden Room for the ceremony and reception. Everything was beautiful and the staff were very helpful throughout the process! Janene and Amy were the two that help answer any questions that I had within the last year. The food was excellent and the beautiful flowers and golf course made for some amazing pictures! One thing I would have liked different was having a curtain up in the bridal suite. There are two separate sides, separated by lockers/wall, but the other bridal party were getting ready on our side when my party arrived there; they moved their things quickly, but their flower girls kept running on my side, photographer and florist started to put their stuff on my side and no one from the other party said anything (my bridesmaids and mom had to ask them to stay on the other side), so I think a curtain would have helped this issue. Other than that, I had an amazing day at Silver Lake Country Club and would highly recommend! :) Reviewed on 04-10-2017

Even though Janene was super busy she still took her time with my husband and I and gave us a tour as well as wnet over really helpful details .

Our DJ wanted to move his stand and they moved their things out of the way so he could be in a better place for the music. They cut and served the cakes for us, they boxed everything up for us and had it ready to go. They even set everything up for you the night before!

It was the best priced for all services just where we wanted to have our special day. We could tell early on why they were so highly rated and busy. You are able to customize however you want your day (decor, menu, special requests). We had a gorgeous outdoor ceremony where our photographer captured breathtaking photos with all the flowers, nature, and waterfall in the background. We had a wonderful reception and it was decorated so beautifully! The food was AMAZING and it was great to have 1 of my recipes on the menu.

Now, I have no idea why anyone would want to get married anywhere but Silver Lake! I had such an amazing experience with them. EVERYONE you work with at Silver Lake is friendly and responsive and keeps you on task! They really want to make sure you have the best day possible, and they are so organized and helpful. We were married in the gazebo, and it was SO beautiful. We did not even need to decorate the aisle because they have flowers and decor outside.. The gardens are absolutely stunning, and you will get AMAZING pictures. There are so many places to take them.. Our reception was in the Garden room, and it is unbelievable how pretty the room looks with the large windows with the lights on the trees outside. Oh, and the food is AMAZING! So good. I worked with Amy and Janene with the planning of the wedding, and they were incredible - No matter who you're working with, they all keep the same notes and can pick up wherever someone else left off. On the day of, Linda and Jeff, staff members of Silver Lake, were not only helpful but SO enthusiastic and excited, which just made the day that much better. To top it all off, they have the best prices out of anyone you will find in town! Tax and gratuity is included in the pricing, and they will pay you back up to a certain percentage of people who don't show up the day of (which ended up happening in our case!!)... Where else can you find that?! I looked at other, more expensive country clubs in the area, and NOTHING even comes close. Silver Lake is not only a more beautiful venue, but also more reasonable.

Rebecca Lilovich(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-07-2017 This venue was super helpful with everything. I got so many compliments on how beautiful everything was and how smoothly the entire day ran. They were also super reasonably priced compared to every other venue I liked for this size. Beautiful ceremony sites. The ONLY issue (and it's pretty minor) that I had is the placement of items on the day-of. We must have spent an hour going over where to put everything (guest book, etc) and they ended up switching up what we agreed on, so most people never even saw the guest book to sign. Also they put my ceremony programs in an awkward spot (heading into the reception hall, rather than near the entrance to the seating) so nobody found them. Things like that were minor irritants but definitely didn't impact the feel of the day. Just be extra descriptive about where in the room things will go, and make sure you're actually standing in the room when you discuss.There were a TON of things that the coordinators helped me with, though, like giving me bigger vases to use for my sand ceremony without me even asking (mine were tiny and it would have been awkward). There were other things that I wouldn't have even thought of and they definitely didn't even need to bother, but they clearly wanted my day to be the best that it could be!

Words can not describe how amazing everything turned out and how awesome the staff are at Silver Lake. From the moment I went into the venue a year and half ago the staff (Donna) made me feel like this was the place I was supposed to get married at. I knew I wanted to have a outdoor ceremony and a venue with beautiful views and Silver Lake gave me that and more. I worked closely with Janene and Amy who are fabulous and answered every question I had and reassured me over and over that things where going to come out great and they did. I loved the fact that I could take all my centerpieces and party favors two days before and Silver Lake staff made my vision of everything a reality. The day of the wedding Amy was amazing on handling everything if something went wrong I hand no idea because I was never asked a single thing she handled everything start to finish. Tony our bartender is amazing everyone loved him, so many peopled raved about the food and how beautiful the venue and grounds where.

Specific examples:-held all my deco the week before the wedding-helped with last minute flower and sound issues that I had made mistakes planning-provided security for cash and check gifts-golf carts to drive myself and my wedding party down right before the ceremony.Overall, the food was WAY beyond my expectations. We didn't taste the food before hand, and even though we blindly chose the menu, everyone loved it. The staff was superb. Helpful, professional, kind, and fun.

Amy and everyone in her staff was EXTREMELY helpful and knowledgable. I (the bride) was in their office a lot asking questions and they always had the answer and was willing to help. Plus, the food was delicious. They also were able to accommodate all of our guests with dietary restrictions. However, my favorite part of this location was the gardens. They are some of the best gardens I have seen in the suburbs. They also made a fantastic background to our pictures and the pictures that the guest took. Even months after the event, many of our guests Facebook profile pictures were taken at our wedding out in the beautiful gardens.

Katie Conachen(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-09-2016 After researching a dozen different venues (everything from the zoo to a pole barn), I knew that Silver Lake was going to be on the top of my list. I had it narrowed down to two different venues, Silver Lake and another county club that was a little further west. After being less than impressed with the staff at the one venue, I went straight to my appointment with Amy at Silver Lake. I was sold within minutes of meeting Amy. The more Amy and I spoke, the more we clicked. There is a huge sense of relief knowing that the person who will be overseeing your big day is on the same exact page as you are. When you book with Silver Lake, you know that your venue is one thing that can been checked off of your list and needs no further thought. One of the great things about Silver Lake is that it is a blank canvas. After recent renovations, I believe that pretty much any theme a bride has in mind for their big day will coordinate with the decor of Silver Lake. Days after the wedding I still have friends and family going on about what a perfect evening it was. The food was superb, the drinks never ran low and the entire staff went above and beyond to make the night unforgettable. One more thing to keep in mind is that you CANNOT beat the overall price of hosting your reception at Silver Lake. Other places may come close but you really need to look into the fine print. Silver Lake prices include EVERYTHING. There are absolutely no hidden fees. I cannot urge brides enough to make a trip out to Silver Lake to meet with Amy, see the rooms and take a look at the grounds. You will not regret taking the time to do so. Reviewed on 27-10-2016

My Husband and I held our Wedding on September 2, 2016 at Silver Lake Country Club in Orland Park. This was a second Marriage for both of us and we were only having a small Venue. When I started looking for venues I had to call about 20 places due to the fact we were only having under 40 people at the wedding. It was very frustrating that all the venues I called wanted a guarantee of over 75 people. I had seen Silver Lakes Country Club in many ads but we were on a limited budget. Finally I decided to call Silver Lake to see what their requirements were and from the moment I spoke with Amy at Silver Lake I knew this is where I wanted to have our wedding. From the first phone call to our wedding day was STRESS FREE and Silver Lake was more than accommodating, they went OVER, ABOVE and BEYOND helping us have a Fairy Tale Wedding!!!!!! We had our Ceremony by the Lakeside on the golf course and it was beyond beautiful not only the weather but all the greenery and flowers and the lake in the background. We were treated like ROYALTY and I cannot say enough about their food. We had Family Style and from the Soup to the main Course was Phenomenal!!!!!!!!!! There was not ONE mishap what so ever. So if you are looking for a Beautiful and STRESS FREE Venue for your wedding Silver Lake Country Club is THE PLACE to have the BEST DAY of YOUR LIFE!!

noreen snyder(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-09-2015 My wife and i were married at Silver Lake at the end of September 2015. The venue is newly renovated and absolutely beautiful. We booked before renovations and would have been fine with how it used to look but the upgrades are wonderful. The reception room has been modernized. The bride's area went from an old school locker room to a comfortable polished area fit for a bride to get ready. Also the outdoor ceremony area was redone and is even more lovely than it used to be. But that's all cosmetic and there are tons of pretty places to be married around Chicago. \rIn our opinion what sets Silver Lake above everyone else is the staff. Throughout the planning stages we dealt primarily with Janene and she was incredibly helpful. She had an answer for every question and helped accommodate an insanely long list of food allergies that my wife and her family have. Towards the end of the process we also dealt with Amy who is equally helpful and amazing. We really appreciated that for our rehearsal Amy kind of ran things for us. She took us out to the ceremony area first without anyone else so that we could go through what we wanted without outside input. Then we brought out everyone and ran through it for real. It's so easy for people to get off track and be distracted and take forever but not with Amy running the show. It was great!\rThen day of the wedding we met the event staff and they couldn't have been nicer. Silver Lake really employs the best people. Linda helped get everyone seated and in place and then helped us line up. Throughout the evening she dealt with every little thing that popped up and kept checking in with us to make sure everything was good. Our guests have given us a multitude of compliments about the serving staff and how great they were. They all loved the food (all the food; meat, vegetarian, and vegan), and told us it was way better than your average wedding dinner. Even the bar tenders got rave reviews. By the end of the night they knew what everyone was drinking and had it ready and waiting. \rIt's hard to put into word how great Silver Lake is but trust me you won't regret booking with them!

Jenna Vickers(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-10-2015 I absolutely loved my wedding here, I did my ceremony and reception at silver lake and it was all beautiful. Everyone commented on how lovely the site was and the food was incredible!! I loved doing the group tasting early on too. The only reason I did not give a full 5 stars is for 2 reasons. First, There were some small details I wanted to include in the reception to make the wedding unique and some of those things were overlooked. For example, I had some fun activities for the kids that never displayed for them to see/use. We also had cookies at our wedding and wanted people to be able to take some home at the end of the night but the baggies were never put out. All minor but noteworthy. Second, I wasn't able to customize things as much as I waned since we were limited with it being a golf club. We also felt that while the staff were semi accommodating it was only after much discussion and hassle on our end. Overall it was a great site and I would recommend it to anyone!

The ceremony location was beautiful. The staff made every effort to make sure everything went smoothly, which it did. The food was wonderful, especially the prime rib. All of my guests commented on how great the food was. The coordinators and staff were truly amazing and our special day went off with out a hitch. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking to get married in this area. It was just spectacular! Reviewed on 15-10-2015

We held our ceremony and reception here in August of 2015. Silver Lake is PERFECTION! From the helpful staff to the indoor and outdoor spaces, everything was incredible! \r\rWe first saw the venue and decided on having our wedding here last year but we're told there were going to be renovations done in the winter before our event. The old room was slightly outdated due to the mauve color everywhere and old light fixtures, among other things. They renovated it all, plus some! It now looks stunning and completely up to date. \r\rAmy and Jeanne were who I most closely worked with and they are both wonderful. Amy is the no-nonsense type person who will get what you need done and with a smile. It was very easy to trust that what I was expecting would get done and that removed an immense weight from my shoulders during the planning process. \r\rWe chose the lakeside site for our ceremony because of the beautiful landscaping around and behind the site. To one side of the site is a hillside covered in a beautiful garden. The hillside blocks the view of the clubhouse creating an intimate site for the ceremony while still being in an open space. The only flowers I used outside were the flowers on or held by the bridal party. \r\rFor the reception we booked both the East and West rooms (there is a divider that can be added to separate them) They worked with me ahead of time to determine how I would like the room set up because I wanted guests to enter from the patio instead of the traditional club house. \r\rWe chose to go with the Family Style menu because people don't have to chose before hand (nor did I have to keep track of it) but the food wasn't pre portioned onto their plates. If they loved the veggies, which were delicious, they could have multiple servings and no pasta. It was as if it was a mini buffet at each table. This format also was a very quick option. Friends and family all told us that I looked beautiful and we looked so happy, but their next compliment was about the food! Everyone LOVED it!\r\rSilver Lake also worked wonderfully with all our vendors. Our photographer, DJ, and florist all told me how helpful and friendly the staff was. Some of the vendors had worked at Silver Lake before and some had not, all were impressed.\r\rWe were looking at a guest list about 300 and for Chicago venues that can be hard to find as well as very pricey. Silver Lake was a breath of fresh air with their straight-forward and affordable pricing. There were no hidden fees or \"upgrading\" your package to get what you wanted. \r\rHigh quality service, delicious food/drinks, and spectacular views are just the start to what Silver Lake Country Club can offer. I HIGHLY recommend this venue to anyone looking to host a wonderful event. Reviewed on 30-09-2015

The outdoor wedding area was perfect, food excellent, and service was absolutely outstanding! Amy, Director of Events, is amazing and so kind!

Alexz Lupo(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-05-2015 Wedding Date: May 16, 2015\r\rI cannot say enough great things about this place. Everyone at Silver Lake went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect. No matter how odd our request, they fulfilled it. The food was amazing, the servers were fantastic, and the bartender was was top notch. The room has beautiful tall windows that look out to a garden, and it backs up to an outdoor patio that all wedding guests can use.\r\rMy husband and I are huge Blackhawks fans, and we were worried that there would be a playoff game the night of our wedding. They offered to bring in a TV and speakers for us, just in case they played. I surprise my husband by getting Tommy Hawk to come to the reception...Amy (the wonderful lady in charge) made sure that he was in the right place at the right time to make the surprise was perfect.\r\rI seriously cannot rave enough about this place. Have your reception here...you won't regret it! Reviewed on 30-08-2015
Anonymous (bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-07-2015 Silver Lake was phenomenal throughout our entire wedding process. We had first met with Janene and she showed us around without being rushed through the tour. After booking, if we had any questions, they (Janene, Amy, and Jeff) were either answering right away or we received a call or email back very quickly. They accommodated all of our ideas/plans for the wedding day and offered suggestions to help make things run more smoothly. We had our ceremony at the outside chapel and they transported guests back and forth on golf carts. Our guests really appreciated it! Linda handled the day of our wedding and she was absolutely amazing. She made sure that the wedding party was happy and helped coordinate people and pictures so the bride and groom wouldn't collide before the ceremony. Overall, I don't think the day could have gone better. The site was beautiful, the backdrop in the East Garden room was amazing with the flowers and greenery during daylight and the white lights in the evening. \r\rComparing to other venues, I liked the way Silver Lake gives you an all-inclusive price (including gratuity and tax) so you know the bottom line before signing the contract. They also give a 5% no-show allowance for those guests who can't make the wedding at the last minute. We ended up getting a check back for that 5%. Reviewed on 10-08-2015
Nikki Vaci(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-06-2015 Coordinators there to work with you every step of the way. Grounds are absolutely gorgeous.

They were very friendly and accommodating. They went beyond what I expected. I had told my mother to do the center pieces and the staff took over so she could spend time with me.

Anonymous (guest)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-07-2015 My husband and I were married at Silver Lake 9 years ago and to this day our family still talks about how beautiful and amazing everything was! We recently attended a friends wedding there and once again everything was perfect, family style food was delicious and the chicken was to die for!! It was so nice that the servers came to the table and offered refills on any of the food and of course our whole table had to say yes!! The gardens were truly beautiful and our family photos turned out great. My husband and I once again can't say enough good things about Amy and the staff at Silver Lake. Every experience we've had here has been so perfect! We already have another party booked here for next May, Amy and Janean in the office always make sure every little detail is covered so I can just relax and enjoy myself and I think that is one of the best services that Silver Lake has to offer! Its just piece of mind knowing I don't have to worry about anything because the staff is always 2 steps ahead of me and they already have things taken care of! I recommend Silver Lake to all of my friends and family. Reviewed on 30-10-2014
Brandi McMullan(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-10-2014 Having a wedding in October can be risky, worrying if the weather will cooperate or not. I was very fortunate and had cooperative weather. \r\rAside from having beautiful weather, Silver Lake Country Club was a beautiful venue to have our wedding at. The picturesque views is just the start of the magnificence here! The ceremony site has a backdrop of a clean pond with a shooting fountain, the flowers and shrubbery are well kept and the simple white chairs that are placed for guests make everything seamless. Just outside of our banquet room was a GORGEOUS little garden that is lit up with white lights that wrap around trees and the gazebo. A beautiful rock garden with a small waterfall just topped off the magical feeling. \r\rAmy, who runs the banquet hall, was SUCH a pleasure to work with. She had fun with the guests and bridal parties and helped ensure that everything was taken care of. Bartenders are more than generous and SUPER friendly as well. \r\rI would highly recommend anyone to look into having this venue for their special day! Reviewed on 29-10-2014
Carly Wetzel(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 31-05-2014 Besides all of the regular reviews you always read here is something little that stuck out...on your wedding day you probably will not eat much, if anything. Soup, salad, and dinner was coming out, speeches were being given, drinks were being passed out, pictures were being taken, and the bridal party was busy eating and talking throughout dinner. As the waitress came around, she asked me if I was done, I said \"yes\" and she said \"no you're not.\" I looked at her and she smiled and told me she was a mom, and I needed to eat. It was going to be a long night and she was sure I probably had not eaten all day. So she left my plate, smiled at me, pointed at my plate, and walked away. I laughed, and started to eat. Something so little can mean so much. She did not have to worry about what I was or was not eating, but she did. Everyone was just so personable with not just us but all of our guests. We got married this year on May 31st. Our ceremony was on site outside and cocktail hr/reception immediately followed. I knew this was our place on the first visit. From their friendly and amazing staff, beautiful grounds, convenient location, and accommodations...we could not be happier. I am, well, a very indecisive person so I was constantly calling, asking questions, asking to come in, going over details...etc. The staff at Silver Lakes was always more than willing to help me with suggestions, let me come in whenever I wanted to see the room, and also knew exactly how to calm my nerves. I did not put much detail into my wedding for the simple fact of, less detail=less chances of things not going as planned. Silver Lakes is already so beautiful that I did not have to do much. Amy is absolutely positively amazing!!! She is honest, knowledgeable, accommodating, friendly, and just a really pleasant down to earth woman. She helped us feel at ease throughout our planning process and on our big day. I honestly did not have to worry about ANYTHING!!!! The staff, bartenders, and waiters/waitresses were so nice as well. I can honestly say that I do not have one bad thing to say. Silver Lakes went above and beyond for us and exceeded any expectations we had going into this. Their food....amazing as well. People are still talking about how great the food was and how gorgeous their outside is. If you want something different, beautiful with every season, and a place that everyone will remember, well then I 100% recommend going with Silver Lakes. Thank you again to everyone at Silver Lakes that helped us make our night so much more special. \rSteve & Carly Reviewed on 19-10-2014
Anonymous (bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-10-2014 It was a great experience from the wedding last Saturday.We appreciate their your team efforts, preparation and services for the wedding!\r\rThere are a couple of items my guests kept talking about:\r1) Trout without back bones! It tastes soft, light salty, little spicy, fresh and very well. Amazingly is that the back bones are removed out. We are all wondering how chef did that!\r2) White umbrella adds romance! Though snowing and raining, your team is very professionally prepared with white umbrellas. They look pretty and matches the white and pure feel of the ceremony. A few guests also commented that a lady (she helped with our rehearsal) nicely persuaded the guests who carried different color of umbrellas to change the it to make sure the entire theme is kept. That's really considerable! I also saw a few ladies of your team helped to dry chairs by wiping rain drops off the chairs right before guests got out and sat down. That's sweet. \r3) Baked potato with cheese is good, chicken are tasted good. Food are a lot!\r4) Table liner and plate/glass decoration are organized and displayed nice. \r5) Take very good care of kids - chair, meal, respond upon questions. \rThey will wrap the cake, and giving the glass cup gift box! They are nicely printed with Silver Lake logo. Reviewed on 08-10-2014
Taylor Bussie(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-06-2014 We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Silver Lake on 6/21/14. The day and night could not have been more perfect. They were SO accommodating with all of my silly requests. I can't tell you how many times I e-mailed and called them before the wedding and they promptly answered my questions or made requested changes. The staff working there was AMAZING. Being the bride, I was of course overwhelmed that day. I felt like their staff was one step ahead of me the entire day! They had everything ready to go before I even asked. They even had things I did not ask for! It started pouring rain seconds after my ceremony ended...they had cute white umbrellas for everyone and offered rides to the building on golf carts! That is just an example of them going above and beyond without even being asked. We are also still getting compliments on the food. The guests were very pleased! Me and my husband ended up not eating our dinner since we were talking with everyone. One of their staff members noticed this, and came up to us later in the night saying they wrapped up our dinner for us to be eaten later. It was so sweet. We could not have picked a more perfect venue for our wedding venue. Great job Silver Lake! Thank you! -Taylor and Tony Reviewed on 13-08-2014
Amy Coghill literally grew up surrounded by weddings and special events. Silver Lake Country Club is a family owned and operated business and Amy is a 4th generation owner. She has managed events for over 20 years and still is so grateful to work in one of the most fun industries imaginable. Work never seems like work with weddings. There is nothing more fun than seeing a bride and groom’s vision come together the day of their wedding. When she is not here she is chasing around her little kiddos or taking time to squeeze in a round of golf.
