Fox Valley Country Club

We had our wedding ceremony and brunch reception on August 30, 2014. The day started out very dicey with the weather as the skies were dark, but the radar showed during our ceremony time it was to be clear. We rolled the dice and proceeded with the ceremony outside; however, inside, Tonya, our wedding coordinator for the day, was busy setting up the rain location… just in case. I was so impressed with that as it was alot of extra work, but they wanted to be prepared.
As it turned out, the weather held out for us and the sun actually came out and shined upon our day.
We had a beautiful brunch with breakfast items in one corner, lunch items in another corner, and an omelet and beef carving station along another wall. The food was fantastic! We had so many compliments from our guests.
The staff could not have been more accommodating… not a single one of them. Just prior to the ceremony starting, we had guests arrive and not enough chairs… my sister came flying into the building to let Tonya know we were out of chairs. She had those set up in less than 5 minutes and the ceremony started only about 3 minutes late.
I can not more highly recommend this place. The gazebo is a beautiful spot for the ceremony, the lobby of the building is very cozy with the marble floors, draperies, and décor, the ballroom is beautifully decorated, the bathrooms were clean, the staff was neat as a pin, polite, and helpful.
Juan was who we originally booked with and he was right there every step of the way in the planning stage and handed the baton off to Tonya on the day and it was seamless.
We accidently left my Lenox cake knife and didn’t realize it until 3 days after the event, I called and they had it for us.
I recommend this place 1000%. It was hands down the most economical venue we found, but they don’t cut any corners. Perfect… just perfect!!!
Thank you so much!!!

I really enjoy going to Fox Valley Country Club. I had a funeral luncheon here in 2008. It was a very difficult time, and everyone there really went out of their way to be helpful. Since then, I’ve been to several events here. The food has always been really good. The building is beautiful. The staff is always professional and courteous.

I am having a hard time deciding between 2 and 3 stars on this one.
We hosted our parent’s 50^th anniversary celebration here. I have been to a wedding here previously as well.
Let’s start with the building itself. The center lobby area is nice, and includes a cozy fireplace area, a nice touch. Bathrooms seem fine to me, they were nice, and also clean the night of our event. The entrance outside could be a little nicer.
The room was nice. They included table linens and chair covers which was great. The table décor is very basic so we decided to have something nicer done by Bright Designs. On a tight budget she was able to provide small but nice table florals.
Food. We know food is so important. Our event included the first hour of butler passed, and I do wish I would have had trays pass by me more often. I only saw a tray two times during the hour. The crab cake isn’t something I’d recommend, it sounded good but did taste like a Sam’s club frozen crab cake. The rest of the evening there were several stations set, including a meet carving station, sweet table, and another table that had appetizers and a cheese platter. The meat station was nice, that was good. The sweet table looked very nice, although i didn’t try much — I have never loved sweet tables with the fancy desserts, I find they are usually much prettier than they are tasty.
Cake– meh. I was pretty disappointed in the cake. While it was supposed to be a smooth finish with ribbon they decided to embellish it. Also, we were planning to put some orchids on the cake to dress it up, and they took it upon themselves to decorate our cake themselves with a bunch of leftover flowers we didn’t want on there. It looked rather terrible but we couldn’t do anything about it — as the frosting was smooshed under the florals… so when we tried to remove them, they made a mark. Also, the flavor was very bland. It wasn’t dry which is good, but just tasted like not to much of anything.
Bartender was awesome, I wish I remembered her name. She was very friendly and did a great job.
Overall, we had a great party. I think my hesitation between 2 – 3 stars comes from the only so-​so food, and the cake issue. At the end of the night we still had a blast, had good music, friends and family and most important, my parents loved it!

mexican food was great, service was great …

Was at this place for a wedding reception this past Friday.
There was another event going on & no sign to inform guests as to which was which.
Going into the room, there are several «dips» in the floor. There is a small sign indicating as such, but easy to miss. I did see one person actually fall & several trip because of this.
The room itself was nice.
The bathrooms were not particularly clean.
Toilets did not flush well.
Men’s had only 1 stall.
Staff did not empty the garbage cans in the bathrooms, so there were paper towels, etc. all over the floor.
Speaking of staff — they barely understood English — except the bartender. She was an exceptionaly nice lady!
Food was good & was buffet style — plenty of it!
During dinner, the power went out. I would think that a place like this out in the middle of nowhere would be prepared for such things. Thank God it came on after about an hour & the evening went on.
Food impressive, but not the facility.
