I am a former 20-year wedding professional, so I tend to be critical of places. But there was…read moreabsolutely NOTHING to be critical about this place. Clean, spacious, clean restroom facilities, gorgeous everywhere you went. I attended my friend's daughter's wedding over the weekend at Riverside Receptions. I found it to be unique and beautiful in the interior. The wall of windows was insane. The happy couple was married, and their guests watched while overlooking the Fox River. The reception/dinner moved to the upper floor and the room and food were excellent, as was the service. I have food allergies and they accommodated them beautifully. I had the chicken with I think some sort of broccoli on the inside and a cream sauce. The mashed redskin potatoes were insanely delicious. Truly a classy and memorable wedding for the couple, their families and the guests. This goes down as one of the nicest weddings I ever attended.

We couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue, Fishermen's Inn truly exceeded our expectations!…read more One of the biggest advantages of choosing this venue is that their food and drink are all in-house. This took a huge weight off our shoulders during the planning process, and they absolutely delivered. We received so many compliments from our guests about both the food and drinks. For hors d'oeuvres, we chose the bacon-wrapped dates, sweet potato and avocado bites, bruschetta, and buffalo chicken bites, our guests especially raved about the buffalo chicken bites and bacon-wrapped dates! We also added the mimosa service while we were getting ready, which was such a fun and thoughtful touch. The staff set everything up beautifully with cups, juice, champagne, and fruit for garnish, it was so cute and made the morning feel extra special. I am so happy that we made the decision to get ready at the venue! The boys had a great time playing bags and football on the patio while the girls got ready upstairs. Our day of coordinator, Tara, was beyond excellent. She helped us plan every detail down to the minute and brought up things I would have never even considered. She was kind, thoughtful, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire day and night. She struck the perfect balance, always there when we needed her, but never overbearing. I truly couldn't be happier with her support. The dining experience was another highlight. The dining room is absolutely stunning, the natural light that comes in from all of the windows and the view is stunning! Many guests mentioned how memorable the dinner service was, they present the meals in such an elegant way! We chose the Fishermen's Inn signature salad, creamy chicken and rice pilaf soup, chicken piccata, and salmon with pineapple mango salsa. Guests consistently told us the food was fresh, served warm, and perfectly portioned. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous and offer so many beautiful spots for photos. Since we got married in October, having a strong indoor ceremony option was very important to us in case of bad weather. Fishermen's Inn gave us that peace of mind. We were lucky to have a perfect 75 degree day and held our dream outdoor ceremony, but I felt completely confident in the indoor backup as well. Our guests loved the outdoor cocktail hour on the patio, and many took that time to explore the grounds and take photos. The landscaping is clearly a priority, the property is incredibly well-maintained, and the fall mums were especially stunning! There was also plenty of parking for guests, which made things very convenient. Another feature we loved is how each part of the day, ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception, can take place in different spaces. It keeps the experience feeling fresh and exciting for everyone. Fishermen's Inn truly sets couples up for success with their organized planning process and consistent check-ins. I am so grateful for their support and how seamless they made everything feel. They have truly thought of everything. We cannot recommend Fishermen's Inn enough, they went above and beyond in every way!

We had our wedding at Fishermen's Inn on Friday, July 3rd, 2026. Overall, we had a beautiful…read morewedding and many wonderful experiences with the venue, but there were also several major disappointments that we feel are important for future couples to know about. From the very beginning of our planning process, Erin, our day-of coordinator, was wonderful. She was personable, honest, extremely helpful, and always willing to answer our questions. She made the planning process feel seamless and did a great job taking stress off of me as the bride. We truly appreciated having her throughout the planning process. It is important for future couples to know that we were responsible for setting up everything the morning of our wedding. We were not permitted to set up anything the day before, so our family and wedding party had to handle all of the setup on the morning of the wedding. This was a significant amount of work to take on before the wedding even began, but thankfully our family and friends were amazing and made it happen. Our wedding was in the middle of a Midwest summer, and the day before the wedding, we made the decision to move our ceremony indoors because of an extreme heat advisory. Erin and her team handled that change very well and made the transition as stress-free as possible for us. Our ceremony was beautiful, the dinner was delicious, and we were very happy with how the food accommodated our guests' various allergies. Unfortunately, the biggest issues occurred because of severe weather and the power outages that followed. We were not made aware that Fishermen's Inn had experienced a power outage the night before our wedding after lightning struck. As a result, the chandelier in the dining room and the lighting in the overflow seating area were not working at all. This left some of our guests eating dinner in very dim lighting. We understand that lightning and storms are completely outside of the venue's control, but we do feel that we should have been informed about the issue before the wedding so that we could have discussed possible solutions or made alternative arrangements for those tables. Later in the evening, after our first dances, the power went out again. This created much more significant issues. The bathrooms immediately became a major concern because there was no running water and the toilets could not flush, yet our guests were not immediately informed and continued using the facilities. This became a serious sanitation concern for our guests and was one of the most disappointing aspects of the evening. We had also paid for an upgraded beverage package, including two specialty mixed drinks. When the power went out, the fountain drinks and mixers needed for those specialty drinks were no longer available. Eventually, the bartenders were also unable to serve mixed drinks such as Jack and Coke. After a period of time, hard liquor was no longer being served unless it was served on the rocks. Given that we had paid for an upgraded beverage package, this was understandably frustrating. Another major concern was accessibility. Our cousin has cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair that weighs over 200 pounds. When the power went out, the elevator stopped working. His wheelchair had to be taken downstairs using a steep, sketchy ramp. Thankfully, the wheelchair made it down without any hiccups, but the situation was extremely stressful and emotional for our cousin and our family. Several of our firefighter guests stepped in to help safely get him and his wheelchair downstairs. Having an accessible backup plan for an emergency like this would have made an enormous difference. Our late-night snack was also affected by the outage and was served cold. By that point, after everything that had happened, we ultimately did not want to eat it. We completely understand that Fishermen's Inn cannot control severe weather or a lightning strike. What was disappointing was the lack of preparation, communication, and backup solutions once the power was lost. A backup generator, a clear emergency plan for the bathrooms, communication with guests about the water and restroom situation, and a better accessibility plan would have made a significant difference. We were also disappointed that we never received any follow-up communication after the wedding. We did not receive an email acknowledging the power outage, checking in to see how we felt about the experience, or even a simple "thank you for choosing Fishermen's Inn." Considering the circumstances of our wedding night, some type of follow-up would have gone a long way. Despite these challenges, we are grateful for the beautiful parts of our wedding day and especially for Erin, who was wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. She was a bright spot in our experience and truly cared about making our wedding day special. We hope Fishermen's Inn takes this feedback seriously and considers putting stronger contingency plans in place!

I booked the St. Charles County Club for my wedding reception, which took place in May 2012. It was…read morethe first of three appointments I had scheduled for that day to review options in the Chicago suburbs. By the time our appointment was over, I wanted to cancel my other appointments - I was sold and didn't want to see anything else! Needless to say, we told Carla, the events manager, we wanted to book the space as soon as possible! From the beginning of our first appointment, Carla made me feel at ease and assured me that all aspects of the reception - from price to decor - would fit our needs. She was always extremely responsive via phone and email and gave me the confidence that our reception would be everything we had always imagined. In the months leading up to our wedding, Carla covered every detail and was always flexible - adding, removing or adjusting components of the reception plan to meet our requests. She gave us advice on vendors and we were extremely satisfied with all of them - particularly our cupcake favors and cake from Herbs' Bakery and our floral arrangements from Debi's Designs. I highly recommend both! The day of the wedding, Carla was PERFECT. The entire event space - and particularly the ballroom - looked absolutely gorgeous. I wish I had a recorder to remember all of the rave reviews we received from family and friends! Carla was calm throughout the entire evening and kept everything in line and moving smoothly throughout the night! I felt like she was genuinely dedicated to our event and wanted everything to be perfect. She went above and beyond in so many ways and thought of details and special surprises that never even crossed my mind. When all the guests were enjoying cocktail hour and the ballroom was closed off for dinner prep, Carla brought me in the room alone and told me to "take it all in." She reminded me that in all of the craziness of a wedding day, it's easy to forget to take a moment to let everything sink in and take a mental picture of your reception. I stayed in the ballroom for several minutes to take a look at the gorgeous room so I would remember how special everything was. I will remember that moment for the rest of my life, and I'm so thankful that Carla was thinking about those important details for me. My wedding was even more amazing than I had ever imagined. I will never forget the wonderful job Carla and her team did. I feel like she is a family friend at this point! My family loved her so much that we booked her for my sister's wedding! I would recommend Carla and the St Charles Country Club to anyone!

I…read moreonly hesitate to write this review because I'm worried it will be booked solid after, and we won't get a room next time we visit! To say the Oscar Swan is a gem is an understatement. The owner, Nina, is beyond fabulous. She was so kind, attentive and made us feel at home. Upon arrival we had the place to ourselves and Nina told us to head upstairs and pick out our rooms! EVERY room is beautiful. The decor throughout is curated perfectly for the property. We stayed with another family, kids in tow. The kids had a blast running around the property and playing in the pool. The gardens are gorgeous. The front lawn is bigger than a football field - perfect for frisbee! We woke up in the morning to a table set outside and the BEST breakfast spread you could ask for. Pancakes, amazing eggs, toast, banana bread, potatoes, fruit, and perfectly cooked bacon. I can't emphasize enough how gorgeous the setting is, how at home we felt and just all around grateful and happy we were to be there. We had a quick peek at the event space - it's fabulous!!! If I lived in town again and one of my kids were old enough to get married, I wouldn't consider hosting anywhere else!! It's a true time warp in the best possible way. If you're looking for perfection this is not your place. If you're looking for a one of a kind, unforgettable experience - book now!!
