I have been a member of the Village Newcomers Club (also known as the Village Club) for three years…read morenow and I just love it!! They offer so many fun activities and joining is a great way to meet people. We moved from Texas to Winnetka, IL about 3 years ago and we have made many friend through the club. I started attending their book club and then tried other things they offered. I have made some lifelong friends. They offer a lot of different social activities like book club, coffees, members meetings, adult socials, girls night out, family socials, a moms and tots group and a whole lot more. I highly recommend them!

I joined the Village Newcomers Club because I was looking for a local book club, but I quickly…read morebegan to participate in a lot of the other activities, as well. There's something for anything - adult social gatherings, girls nights out, coffee mornings, newcomers coffees, family events, wine tastings, toddler playdates, an annual holiday party, etc. There's always something going on. I've lived in the area for seven years but have met so many wonderful people through the VNC. The club covers the entire New Trier Township (Wilmette, Winnetka, Glencoe, Kenilworth, Northfield) and I've met people I wouldn't have otherwise met. Whether you've just moved to the area or looking for more ways to socialize, this is a great way to do it.

This is by far the WORST experience in booking a venue I've ever had! Beware and do not book here!…read more We were double booked and had to find out through Facebook that another event was taking place the same day. We called for a couple days to speak with someone with no success. Finally we had to wait almost a week to be allowed to come up and attempt to rectify the situation with the manager. When we did speak with her, she was extremely rude. It was utterly unbelievable. I have never seen anyone conduct themselves this way to PAYING CUSTOMERS! It was outrageous! We even asked if someone else could help as she stated that she was dealing with serious issues. We were told by her, "not to listen to anyone but her." The person that was supposed to cover for the manager was extremely dismissive and would not give us any time or effort on the phone. She explained that she was new and she didn't have any information other than we were double booked! She even said that we would not have time to set up for the party anymore! I thought this was outrageous. When we finally spoke in person to the manager, we told her that we were worried that because of our terrible treatment, our guests would be treated poorly and the party wouldn't go well. The manager's response was, "I'll give you the full amount back right now." We were in shock to the fact that she threw away a paid in full booking. This was the WORST experience I have ever had. Management does not care about booking the banquet room, and definitely doesn't care about new or returning customers! I'm just glad that my guests won't be treated poorly because this establishment does not care about its patrons AT ALL! I truly wanted to give this place 0 stars!!!! Beware! Beware! Beware!!!
