We attended a wedding at Thunderhawk, and were so impressed! The place was beautiful, the food was excellent, and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful.

My daughter just had her wedding at Thunderhawk Gold Club over Labor Day week end and I feel compelled to write a review because everything was absolutely spectacular. Since my daughter lives out of state, I was heavily involved in the planning over the past year. Jody, Food For Thought’s Thunderhawk consultant, was a complete joy to work with. She was very accomodating with all matters and patient and most helpful with the crazy amount of questions we had over the long process of planning this wedding. The ceremony and cocktails were done outside and the weather gods must have been watching over us. The setting is stunning overlooking the golf course as well as the woods of the Lake Co Foreset Preserve. It is not your average golf course setting. The lodge is reminiscent of a high mountain lodge with vaulted wood beamed ceilings with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the outside. The food catered by FFT was excellent and the complete wedding package was extremely reasonable. I highly recommend checking out this venue if you want a unique setting with a gorgeous and romantic vibe. I never could understand why there were not more recent reviews of this place, but here is one now.

I had my wedding reception here last Saturday and it was absolutely perfect. Nothing went crazy and I was a cool, calm and collected bride. The food was amazing(catered by Food For Thought) and my wedding cake was by Bridal Cakes by Ann. There was open bar for 5 hours so my guests were nice and saucy. The dance floor is nice and big and there is a huge fireplace for nice romantic ambiance. I couldn’t ask for better wedding coordinators at ThunderHawk Lodge. They explained everything for me and there are a variety of food, appetizer and beverage options. It definitely suits a variety of wedding budgets. They also called me while setting up just to make sure everything was perfect. The lodge is on a wooded golf course and there is a huge stone outdoor patio. The patio is nice for cooling off from dancing, smoking cigars or just getting some fresh air. We took some fabulous pictures in the back of the Lodge and I can’t wait to get them back! I would highly recommend ThunderHawk for a wedding reception. The process was painless and they walk you through everything for planning a wedding reception. My sister also had her wedding reception here 4 years ago and her wedding was also very memorable!

I attended the absolutely lovely wedding reception of Sarah A. and JR L. at ThunderHawk over the weekend at ThunderHawk Lodge. Talk about a beautiful location for a wedding reception! The lodge is simple and classy… everything you want for a reception. The space is perfect for a mid-sized wedding, about 100 people. The dance floor is front and center(and quite large!) so its perfect for shakin’ your groove thang, there’s a free-standing fireplace for ambiance, the bar is conveniently located and has plenty of space for mingling. The outdoor patio area is a treat, too. No better place to grab some fresh air than a stone patio overlooking a beautiful green on the gold course! Just be aware of the killer mosquitoes. The food was also excellent. We were served steak, chicken, green beans and mashed potatoes along with a wonderful spinach salad. ThudnerHawk left the«wedding food» stigma out in the cold, yo! All in all, an excellent venue in the far north suburbs. I’d be happy to go back!
