Hidden gem

I CANNOT say enough amazing things about Elmhurst as a wedding venue. We had booked them 2 years prior to our wedding date after seeing 2 other wedding venues and knew as soon as we stepped into the reception area that this is our wedding venue. Kaleigh (the venue manager) is an absolute dream to work with through the planning process, on the wedding day, and on the clean-up day. The staff were amazing on the wedding day and we have absolutely no complaints. The food was just as amazing on our wedding day as it was during our tasting and our guests LOVED everything, especially the late night poutine bar. Seriously consider Elmhurst if you are looking for a wedding venue. They also did a bunch of renovations just before our wedding day and the venue looks even more amazing than when we booked it originally.

Fantastic service and beautiful setting

We were blown away with the service at Elmhurst. While we originally planned on the banquet hall for our reception, we ended up sticking with a tent rented elsewhere due to pandemic precautions. Kaleigh (event coordinator) was communicative throughout the process of viewing and booking the site, planning our event, and was also present for set-up and on event day to make sure things went smoothly. Our guests were raving about the food (and continue to mention it!), and we were happy to be able to offer options to our friends and family with unique dietary needs because of the flexibility of the kitchen. Dinner service was well-executed and polite, and the bartender impressed guests with their superb memory and friendly manner. We also appreciated the tour guide who took us around the grounds for photos, and the complimentary golf carts were tons of fun for our wedding party.
It's so worth the short drive outside the city to see the beautiful grounds and banquet hall.

Exceptional Experience

Kaleigh was a superstar.

When we planned our pre-covid wedding she was very helpful and accomodating. If we had questions, even during the winter off-season, she would answer with haste.

When covid hit and we had to start over, she accomodated an outdoor ceremony with only half our guest list and she made the change painless.

The hall is very nice with exposed timber frame and large picture windows along one side with a balcony overlooking the putting green. The food is excellent. The grounds have many great photo locations. Kaliegh provided our photographers and wedding party with golf carts for the day and an escort while taking photos around the property.

It was a great day that went very smoothly and we give Kaliegh alot of the credit.

Covid Wedding Summer 2021

Elmhurst was the perfect venue for us through our postponement last year to our most perfect wedding this year. The staff was so friendly and helpful and Kaleigh the food and beverage manager (this title definitely didn’t sum up even half our her job) was literally at my beck and call with any questions or worries I had. After postponing our wedding a year ago we had no idea what to do this year with the ever changing restrictions. Kaleigh was with us and helped us every step of the way.
We ended up having a beautiful tent wedding on the lawn of Elmhurst golf course catered and set up by Elmhurst staff. It was the perfect day and I would recommend Elmhurst to anyone who is getting married. Not only for the delicious food but for the amazing customer service as well.

No brainer! Have your wedding here!

Elmhurst Golf and Country Club is the ideal wedding venue. The grounds are lush with lots of flowers and the walking paths and ceremony site is very well maintained. The inside banquet reception room has a warm rustic feel and is a perfect size. Having access to the patio right outside the room was a huge bonus and the guests really enjoyed it! The food was FANTASTIC! Everyone really enjoyed the buffet meal, dessert and late night snack (we added perogies to the classic late night spread of cheese, break, pickles and meats)! Top notch!!!! The service staff was great and very accommodating the day before and day of and Kaleigh, the coordinator was PHENOMENAL. She was great at answering questions and was visible throughout the day monitoring so that everything went smoothly. She is a great at her job and is just an awesome person! Choose Elmhurst Golf and Country Club, you won't be disappointed!

Elmhurst was a great location for our wedding. The food, service and ambience were amazing. The night went smooth without any major hiccups. The Prime rib buffet and late night nacho bar were a huge hit!

Best day of my life all because of Elmhurst!

I was honestly skeptical about having a big wedding and we were not sure where to have our wedding. In the winter of 2017 me and my now husband met with Kaleigh at Elmhurst to look at the place and I already feel in love with the beauty of the course and reception area (everyone loved the balcony!). I emailed back and forth with Kaleigh for 1.5 yrs and she was always super quick in answering my questions and very accommodating. On the day of the wedding we could count on ALL the staff to help us with every detail we wanted. Even with some of our own hiccups they helped us fix a bridesmaids dress, replace crystal whiskey decanter, she even let me use her laptop when mine did not want to play my PowerPoint for our photos! Best service, food, and day of my life. Even my guests were extremely pleased and let me know that all night. Thank you Elmhurst for making this the best experience for myself and Doug. Huge thank you to Kaleigh for everything you have done for us throughout this whole process. HIGHLY recommend Elmhurst to anyone. And easily the best money I've ever spent on anything, thank you for giving us this amazing memory!

The outside ceremony and inside reception venue were both great. The food was excellent especially the late night pizza. Kaleigh was very helpful which helped lower any stress levels. All in all the location and value were great.

My husband and I had been planning our wedding from Calgary, which I though would be very difficult but the staff at Elmhurst made it easy and one stress I didn't have to worry about. We hadn't actually seen the venue until about three months before the wedding and we were not disappointed. The open beam ceiling in the banquet room is gorgeous. The flower beds are amazing and the gazebo was perfect for our outdoor ceremony. There are so many places to take amazing pictures. Kaleigh and her staff made me feel completely at ease with everything. They were very friendly and professional. I would absolutely recommend Elmhurst for anyone hosting anything. The level of service you receive is leaps and bounds more than I expected. The bartender remembered everyone's drinks and I was complement on the food and venue by all that attended. I know everyone tells you something will go wrong on your wedding day, I have to say I didn't have a thing go wrong. Kaleigh co ordinated everything for us and it went off flawlessly. I couldn't have chosen a more perfect venue for our perfect day!
