Wedding from Sept 2025 - Leslie was the wedding coordinator. Looks like new leadership from previous review. Ivanhoe Club did an outstanding job turning our wedding vision into reality. From our very first meeting, we were made to feel like a priority. We had felt pressure from other venues to sign quickly or risk losing our date, but Leslie was the complete opposite - she made us feel comfortable, never rushed us, and allowed us to make the decision that was right for us. Choosing Ivanhoe ended up being one of the best decisions my husband and I made. The ballroom is absolutely stunning and truly doesn't need much to enhance it. The large windows overlooking the golf course provided a beautiful backdrop, and the cocktail hour spaces--both indoor and outdoor--were perfect for accommodating all guest preferences. With our large guest list, they even added an extra bar at no additional cost, something other venues charged extra for. Communication and organization were exceptional. Leslie and Claudine were wonderful to work with and coordinated seamlessly with all of our vendors. We never felt the need for a day-of planner because of the level of support they provided. With only one wedding hosted per weekend, we truly felt like their top priority. Being able to drop off décor earlier in the week and pick up leftover items on Sunday allowed us to fully enjoy the wedding day without worrying about setup or teardown. One stressor for me as the bride was the size of our guest list (270 guests), but Claudine worked closely with me using their room-layout program to create a setup that felt spacious and comfortable rather than cramped. Overall, Ivanhoe Club exceeded every expectation. The food was fabulous, from the hors d'oeuvres to the main course, and we received overwhelming positive feedback from our guests. The New York strip option was unique to Ivanhoe and not something we encountered at other venues. Having food and beverage included in the package made planning seamless, and they even allowed us to bring in outside late-night food, helping us set it up and keep it warm. On the wedding day, the entire team was calm, professional, and attentive, ensuring everything ran smoothly from start to finish. We would absolutely choose Ivanhoe Club again and could not recommend them more highly. read more
