The Boulder Ridge Country Club (BRCC) is a magnificent and highly sought-after wedding venue with beautiful ballrooms in the picturesque village of Lake in The Hills, a charming suburb in the northwest of Chicago, IL. This location provides excellent options for both indoor and outdoor weddings.
Why Do We Love This Venue?
- First, Exclusivity – regardless of the size of your event, booking a wedding at Boulder Ridge Wedding Venue ( BRCC) means you get the entire venue to yourself. They only host one wedding at a time; this way, you also get the exclusive attention of the entire team.
- Second, the Month of Wedding Planner service. Numerous venues offer an on-site coordinator to assist in handling all logistics from setup to teardown, which can help you avoid stress. However, when you book with BRCC in Northwest Chicago, you receive a wedding planner who will work closely with you for four weeks before your wedding and manage the entire day. You may question whether this is the same as having an on-site coordinator. Let me make it clear – it is NOT. Allow me to elaborate on the reasons why.
The venue coordinator
A venue coordinator is primarily at the service of the venue. The person in charge will oversee setup, ensure contract items are provided, assist vendors, and ensure timely meal service and pour drinks. Lastly, you have the space to yourself in working conditions until the end of the allotted time.
The venue coordinator does not require your guest list; they only need to know the final headcount of attendees. They don’t need to work on a detailed timeline or know what song plays at every wedding stage. What’s more, not even when are your hair and makeup professionals coming to get you ready? The venue coordinator makes sure the venue is perfect for your wedding celebration.
The wedding planner
Whereas the wedding planner is more like a personal concierge to you. He/ She is the person who will take care of all the above-mentioned elements and more. He/ She is there to coordinate your wedding rehearsal and help you with your seating arrangement. Properly printed escort cards and clear communication of dietary requests are essential for a smooth event. The wedding planner and DJ collaborate for seamless music during the ceremony.
What’s The Vibe Like?
This venue offers you and your bridal party many places to capture unforgettable moments. It can accommodate large groups of up to 350 guests.
A picturesque par 72 golf course boasts 27 holes and multiple tee locations. Paved tee-to-green cart paths weave through the entire course. Strategically placed bunkers and ponds enhance the landscape. Beautiful trees, rocks, a bridge, and a gazebo make this a one-of-a-kind site for a memorable event. Multiple arches in the architecture of the building offer a couple of spots for romantic shots. In addition, the ballroom gives access to a nicely furnished verandah that can accommodate your group for a post-ceremony cocktail hour.
Furthermore, for the corporate world, this venue also features a business meeting facility with wireless internet access. In addition, there is a 65-inch television with a direct PC connection. An audio-visual equipment, meeting supplies available for rent, and fax and photocopying services.
The Ceremony and Reception Ballroom

- There’s the President’s boardroom, which seats up to 16 people.

The latter space can be divided into three smaller sections to accommodate events of all sizes.
