A three piece (drums, keyboards, guitar) band with a deep playbook. Their style is somewhere between smooth jazz and acoustic vocals - perfect for drinks, tapas, and dessert, which is what we had. Bye the way, the Tiramisu is out of this world. The decor style looks like the place was prepped for a big wedding - very elegant. The main menu is Mediterranean oriented, and some of the beers hail from Lebanon and Turkey. The current owners thankfully restored the wood bar and liquor shelf, which was painted WHITE by the previous owner ('Charleston') - disgusting! p.s. both entrances to the building give you a choice of going to The Wine Exchange, or Eden on the River, in order to facilitate your inner pub crawl self

There's tons of space for kids to run around, explore, and burn off energy without feeling crowded or chaotic. And if you need a little reset yourself, there's always a quiet corner waiting for you. Whether it's a walking path, a bench, or just a peaceful stretch of the gardens, it's one of those rare places where you can step away, clear your head, and just breathe for a while. Beautiful grounds, relaxing atmosphere, and something for everyone. I came for a walk and left feeling lighter. Cantigny really is a little escape hiding in plain sight.

They had multiple staff to help with high numbers of guests. 2. the grounds were lovely, well equipped with activities like tennis, volleyball, and easy access to the Fox River Trail. 3. The staterooms in the Qtower were comfortable. I had a nice room overlooking the courtyard area with the adirondack chairs and firepits. The room had an extra pillow and blanket which I most definitely used because you had to have the AC on while the Chicago area was experienes 95+ temp days. My particular room was on the 5th floor and nice and quiet. Small but still plenty of room for a single traveler. 4. The dinner in the Fox Ballroom was great! 5. Snack stations were provided during the conference and the choices were very nice. 6. Dining in the Q dining are was good too especially for cafeteria-style options. Breakfast in particular was good - they had chia pudding! 7. Plenty of spaces around the conference areas to work with colleagues was very nice. 8. Options for workingout whether it was the class offerings or the fitness center itself - you will not be disappointed. Overall a great stay and I would be happy to return!

Absolutely Terrible!…read more My sister had her wedding reception at Royal Fox in June of 2012. We had high hopes, especially after the tasting and working with Jane. We were extremely disappointed. Here's a rundown of the major problems: 1. They served the wrong main entree - Yep, you read that correctly, they served the wrong food! When we brought it to their attention they told us "the wedding last week didn't want the breaded chicken, so we didn't think you would either." Ummm, what the heck does a wedding a week ago have to do with what my sister ordered? 2. They didn't have champagne at the bar, even though my sister paid extra specifically for it. When we asked the manager on duty where the champagne was we were told that we were lying about paying for it (we weren't and the contract proved that). 3. The room was WAY TOO HOT! Several guests complained about the temperature. When we brought this up, they told us it was because we had too many people in the room; however, we had at least 70 fewer people than their stated maximum. They also brought us to other sections of the club and said "see, the temperature is fine here." Again, what does that have to do with anything? The reception room was hot and they did nothing to resolve the issue at all. Overall, what was going badly was made much worse by the horrible attitude of the staff. They never once apologized and instead were defensive and made excuses for everything. I would never recommend this venue to anyone. As of today, they have not done anything in the way of an apology or compensation for the issues we experienced. The reception could have been great, but instead was frustrating, uncomfortable, and frankly, a little embarrassing. Never again. If I could give this place zero stars, I would.

Absolutely Fabulous! I knew the duo would be perfect, as I'd heard them before, at which time I…read moreswore I'd have them at a party one day and as ends up my daughter's wedding (5/25/24)! They certainly brought the classy vibe we desired, while also featuring some up to date pieces! We were so proud to have the duo playing as guests arrived, during the ceremony and through dinner (followed by a DJ /dancing). Canon in D as I escorted my daughter down the aisle was nothing less than magical! We were told by many guests "best wedding they'd been to..." which I contribute in great part to the Moeller's magic!! The entire process was flawless from beginning to end. The price charged was fair and honestly I'd gladly have paid even more to have this very important element of the wedding including the Moeller Music;)

I would absolutely hire them again.

It was…read morethe first of three appointments I had scheduled for that day to review options in the Chicago suburbs. By the time our appointment was over, I wanted to cancel my other appointments - I was sold and didn't want to see anything else! Needless to say, we told Carla, the events manager, we wanted to book the space as soon as possible! From the beginning of our first appointment, Carla made me feel at ease and assured me that all aspects of the reception - from price to decor - would fit our needs. She was always extremely responsive via phone and email and gave me the confidence that our reception would be everything we had always imagined. In the months leading up to our wedding, Carla covered every detail and was always flexible - adding, removing or adjusting components of the reception plan to meet our requests. She gave us advice on vendors and we were extremely satisfied with all of them - particularly our cupcake favors and cake from Herbs' Bakery and our floral arrangements from Debi's Designs. I highly recommend both! The day of the wedding, Carla was PERFECT. The entire event space - and particularly the ballroom - looked absolutely gorgeous. I wish I had a recorder to remember all of the rave reviews we received from family and friends! Carla was calm throughout the entire evening and kept everything in line and moving smoothly throughout the night! I felt like she was genuinely dedicated to our event and wanted everything to be perfect. She went above and beyond in so many ways and thought of details and special surprises that never even crossed my mind. When all the guests were enjoying cocktail hour and the ballroom was closed off for dinner prep, Carla brought me in the room alone and told me to "take it all in." She reminded me that in all of the craziness of a wedding day, it's easy to forget to take a moment to let everything sink in and take a mental picture of your reception. I stayed in the ballroom for several minutes to take a look at the gorgeous room so I would remember how special everything was. I will remember that moment for the rest of my life, and I'm so thankful that Carla was thinking about those important details for me. My wedding was even more amazing than I had ever imagined. I will never forget the wonderful job Carla and her team did. I feel like she is a family friend at this point! My family loved her so much that we booked her for my sister's wedding! I would recommend Carla and the St Charles Country Club to anyone!
