A Timeless & Historic Venue - Reimagined!
Highland Park Country Club, one of Chicago's original and historic event venues, is being reimagined as the newest piece of the Catering by Michaels portfolio as a high-end event venue. Both the City of Highland Park and Catering by Michaels are excited to re-introduce this newly renovated space to the Chicago-land area and have it continue to be a place for your celebrations. A mere 45 minute drive from Chicago, the venue is nestled on The Preserve of Highland Park, a 100 acre nature preserve providing a beautiful backdrop for your wedding. The Highland Park Country Club offers both indoor and outdoor locations, and checks all the boxes for your wedding. Whether you choose to have your ceremony at the beautiful Preserve of Highland Park or admire all of its beauty inside from the floor to ceiling glass windows, this space is perfect no matter what you choose. Traditional seated meals of up to 350 guests with a dance floor or up to 400 guests without a dance floor can fit in the space. The Highland Park Country Club can also be converted into many configurations, making it the perfect space for more intimate events, weddings, engagement parties and showers. As the exclusive caterer and event management partner, Catering by Michaels brings over 40 years of experience to offer more than just food on a plate. Offering chef driven gourmet menus, event coordination services, elite level of service staff, and a personalized recommendation portfolio of other event vendors, this partnership brings a new level of event experience to the North Shore of Chicago. Catering by Michaels offers a variety of affordable price points and menu styles to choose from including plated meals, buffets, family style service, chef stations, dessert assortments, late night snacks, and many other culinary options. We are a custom caterer that prides ourselves on innovation and creativity and can offer many different cuisines including kosher, Indian, and other ethnicities. Since no two events are the same, every event we design and cater is truly a one-of-a-kind experience and customized just for you.
