North Shore Country Club Wedding Guide

North Shore Country Club in Glenview is classic North Shore elegance: a stately clubhouse, sweeping fairways, and the kind of private-club service that makes a wedding day run silently on rails. Golf historians know it as the host of the 1933 U.S. Open; couples know it as one of the most gracious wedding venues north of the city. We have filmed here, and the grounds give a wedding film space to breathe.

A North Shore Country Club Wedding Film

Watch Matthew & Barbara’s wedding: vows at Wilmette’s famous “Home Alone” church, a documentary-style film with nothing staged, and a surprise fireworks display lighting up the club’s evening sky.

The Setting

The clubhouse hosts cocktail hours, dinners, and dance floors with fairway views through every window, and the grounds offer portrait backdrops from manicured greens to tree-lined drives. At Matthew and Barbara’s celebration, the club even accommodated fireworks over the course, proof that this venue can scale from intimate to spectacular.

Ceremony Pairings

North Shore Country Club pairs naturally with the North Shore’s historic churches: Trinity United Methodist in Wilmette is minutes away, and Glenview, Wilmette, and Winnetka parishes are all short transfers. Onsite ceremonies on the grounds are equally cinematic, with the clubhouse as backdrop.

Filming at North Shore Country Club

Private clubs reward vendors who respect the house rules, and we know them. We scout the grounds for golden hour before the day, coordinate with the club’s events team on timing, and in winter, when sunset can come before 4:30 PM, we build the portrait schedule so no light is wasted. Evening receptions here glow: warm interiors, dark fairways beyond the glass, and if you add fireworks, we will be in position.

What a North Shore Country Club Wedding Costs

As a private club, pricing comes through the events office and varies with membership sponsorship, season, and guest count. Based on the celebrations we have filmed on the North Shore, plan in the range of comparable area clubs and confirm current figures directly with the club.
