Glen View Club Wedding Cost Guide (2027)

Planning a wedding at Glen View Club? As wedding videographers who’ve filmed there, here’s the realistic cost breakdown.

Venue Rental Fees

Glen View Club is a private club, founded in 1897 in Golf, Illinois, and event access has membership-related requirements. As a private club, it doesn’t publish a flat rental fee; pricing works through catering minimums, guest count, and season, and the club’s own events team can walk you through requirements for your date.

Food and Beverage

Catering is handled in-house through the club’s own team. Both weddings we’ve filmed here booked full design and lighting on top of catering, Avant Gardenia and Elegant Event Lighting for Hannah and Sean, M on the Square for Madelyn and Andrew, so per-person catering costs should be confirmed directly with the club’s catering team alongside your design vendors.

Other Costs to Budget

Beyond catering, budget for floral and decor, lighting, entertainment (both of our couples booked live bands: BeatMix Chicago and Chicago Diamond Trio), photography and videography, and hair and makeup. Note the club’s no-cell-phone policy for guests, worth mentioning to your planner and photographer ahead of time since it shapes how the day is documented.

Sample Budget: Grand Ballroom Wedding

Based on our experience filming here, most Glen View Club weddings come in around $110,000 or more, depending on guest count and season. That figure typically covers catering, florals, lighting, entertainment, photography, and videography for a full ceremony-and-reception celebration. Confirm current minimums with the club’s events team once you have membership access sorted out.

Is Glen View Club Worth It?

For couples who want understated, century-old private-club elegance with room to breathe, yes. Hannah and Sean married at Our Lady of Perpetual Help, then closed a refined fall reception with a BeatMix Chicago band and a sparkler exit. Madelyn and Andrew kept things intimate with 43 guests, vows at the 10th Tee Box, and an after-party around the fire pits. Both films prove the club scales from formal to intimate without losing its character.
