Ivanhoe Club Wedding Cost Guide (2027)

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

Venue Rental Fees

Unlike some of the private clubs we cover, Ivanhoe doesn’t require membership to host a wedding; the club works directly with couples through its events team. Full wedding pricing (ceremony and reception) starts around $15,000, with per-person packages starting around $125. The club is all-inclusive, handling food, beverage, and rentals as part of the package, and can seat up to 300 guests.

Food and Beverage

Catering is built into the club’s per-person packages starting at $125, which is on the lower end for a Chicagoland country club of this caliber. Exact package inclusions and any premium tiers should be confirmed directly with the club’s events director.

Other Costs to Budget

Beyond the per-person package, plan for photography and videography, floral and decor, entertainment, and your ceremony if you marry off-site, as our couple did. Meggie and Lucas married at Christ Church in Lake Forest before bringing 220 guests to Ivanhoe for golden-hour portraits on the golf course and a full evening reception.

Sample Budget: 220 Guests

At the $125 per-person starting rate, 220 guests runs approximately $27,500 for the base package, though guest counts at this scale often move into higher package tiers. All-in, factoring photography, videography, floral, and entertainment on top of the venue package, a full wedding here commonly starts in the $40,000 to $60,000+ range depending on choices. Confirm current package tiers and pricing directly with the club.

Is the Ivanhoe Club Worth It?

For couples who want lakefront and golf-course scenery without a membership requirement, yes. Meggie and Lucas married at Christ Church in Lake Forest, then brought 220 guests to Ivanhoe for golden-hour portraits over the course and a high-energy reception that ran late into the night. The club’s Lake Ivanhoe backdrop gives portraits a natural, unhurried feel that’s hard to find this close to the city.
