North Shore Country Club Wedding Cost Guide (2027)

Planning a wedding at North Shore Country Club in Glenview? As wedding videographers who’ve filmed there, here’s the realistic cost breakdown.

Venue Rental Fees

North Shore Country Club is a private, member-owned club, and membership is by invitation only, subject to a current member’s introduction. The club doesn’t publish wedding pricing anywhere online, and unlike some private clubs we’ve covered, we couldn’t find a reliable third-party estimate either. What we can say: the average initiation fee among comparable private clubs in Glenview runs around $20,000, which gives a sense of the tier this venue sits in.

Food and Beverage

Catering is handled in-house through the club’s own kitchen and events staff. Per-person pricing isn’t published; expect classic country-club service, plated dinners, a live band or DJ setup, and cocktail hour built into the clubhouse’s fairway-view rooms.

Other Costs to Budget

Beyond venue and catering, budget for floral and decor, photography and videography, entertainment, and your ceremony if you marry off-site. Matthew and Barbara paired their reception here with vows at Trinity United Methodist in nearby Wilmette, a short transfer that’s typical for North Shore couples. If you want fireworks over the course, like our couple did, raise it early: displays require permits and club approval.

Sample Budget

We don’t have a reliable published number to cite for this venue specifically. As a general reference point, private country clubs on Chicago’s North Shore with comparable service and grounds typically run well into five figures for a full wedding once catering, florals, photography, videography, and entertainment are included. Confirm current figures directly with the club once you’ve secured a member sponsor.

Is North Shore Country Club Worth It?

For couples who want private-club service and room to do something unexpected, yes. Matthew and Barbara married at Wilmette’s “Home Alone” church, then closed their North Shore Country Club reception with a surprise fireworks display over the course, one of the more spectacular moments we’ve captured on film at any venue.
