Ivanhoe Club (long known in Chicagoland as Ivanhoe Golf Club) is a private club at 28846 N. Thorngate Dr. in Mundelein, IL, overlooking Lake Ivanhoe and its Top-20-ranked 27-hole golf course. The 66,000-square-foot clubhouse and lakefront lawn make it one of the North Shore’s most requested wedding venues, and it’s where Meghan & Lucas held their reception after their ceremony at Christ Church Lake Forest.

Hosting a Wedding at Ivanhoe Club
Why Couples Choose Ivanhoe Club
- The lawn: outdoor ceremonies on manicured grounds overlooking Lake Ivanhoe and the golf course, with a vintage white arch as the standard ceremony backdrop.
- The ballroom: the Grand Ballroom seats up to 300, with large windows framing the golf course.
- One wedding per weekend: like Christ Church, Ivanhoe hosts a single wedding per weekend, so the entire staff is focused on your day.
- All-inclusive planning: in-house catering, bar, and setup/teardown are handled by the club’s events team.
- Privacy: a private club with site visits by appointment only, so the grounds stay uncrowded for your photos and film.
Ivanhoe Club Wedding Cost
Ivanhoe Club runs an all-inclusive model, catering, bar, tables, and setup bundled into the package rather than billed as separate line items, and couples consistently mention no hidden fees once the contract is signed. Exact pricing depends on guest count and season, so the club’s events team is the best source for a current quote.
Parking at Ivanhoe Club
As a private club built for events of this size, Ivanhoe Club has its own on-site parking for guests. Confirm valet availability with the events team if your guest list runs large.
