“Makray Memorial Golf Club is absolutely stunning!"

We couldn’t have picked a better venue to celebrate our special day. The wedding coordinators - Leeza, Laurie and Stacie were the BEST. They were so easy to work with, always available, and happy to walk us through any detail, no matter how big or small. The chef is AMAZING as well. Our guests raved about how delicious the food was! We still enjoy coming back to the venue for dinner dates. If you are looking for somewhere reliable with exceptional service this is your place!! I cannot recommend this venue, and all of it’s staff, enough. I wish we could host more events there! A million thanks to Leeza, Laurie and Stacie for giving us an unbelievable day, and memories we will cherish for a lifetime!

“I cannot say enough good things about Makray and all of the staff there."

Laurie, Leeza, and Stacie were extremely helpful throughout the entire planning process and made our wedding day flow seamlessly. They are so talented and exceptional at what they do. Chef also did a fabulous job - our guests were raving about all of the food. The venue itself is absolutely stunning and provided us with endless gorgeous photo opportunities. We are beyond thrilled with how our wedding day turned out and cannot thank Makray enough for making our day so special and beautiful. I strongly recommend Makray as a wedding venue, or any special event venue. So amazing!
-Holly M.
“We only have positive things to say about working with the incredible team at Makray!"

Laurie, Leeza, and Stacie are a great team and were so helpful and supportive throughout the planning process. They are so organized, patient, and helped us with all decisions. It was like having 3 fairy godmothers who helped make everything come to fruition. They truly want you to enjoy every moment of your big day. Chef John was a delight to work with - again very personable and cares about his work. People raved about the food at our wedding. We have a family member who is a personal chef and said it was the best vegetarian meal she’s ever had at a wedding... It’s very clear that the whole team at Makray is passionate about their work and making your day special and low stress!

“The quality of service at Makray Memorial Golf Club is unbeatable.”

Our wedding experience was nothing short of perfection. The staff went above and beyond at every turn, limiting stress, keeping us organized, and facilitating everything we needed for a memorable wedding day. The Makray team is detail-oriented, flexible, dependable, and communicative. The team helped us formulate a curated experience through thoughtful time spent on various quotes, menus, floor plans, and table settings. They are both patient and enthusiastic. With the support of the wonderful Makray team the event possibilities are endless. I would recommend Makray to all and would most definitely do it all over again!

"I was just about sold on another venue at the time that we toured Makray..."

It was the final venue we looked at and I'm so glad we did because they changed my mind so quickly and it was the perfect location for our wedding! Laurie, Leeza, and Stacie are all very hands on with the different aspects of planning and they all made sure our day came together as smoothly as possible. The site is picturesque and they kept up all the holiday decorations, at our request, for a more festive feel for our December wedding. I know they do a lot of weddings every year but I never felt like "just another couple"--the entire team was determined to make sure we had the best experience at each step of the way....There's a reason they've won so many awards! I would give 10 stars if I could.

"My wedding at Makray was truly the best day of my life."

The Dream Team, as I call them, helped make my wedding dreams come true. I couldn’t have asked for anything more. I married my best friend, and fulfilled my childhood wish of being married at that golf course. Thank you to the team at Makray so much for everything. I couldn’t be more appreciative or speak any higher of them.

"Makray Memorial Golf Club was an absolute dream venue for our wedding."

From the thorough and professional communication leading up to the big day, to the gorgeous, spacious, and immaculately clean event spaces, the team at Makray truly went above and beyond to ensure our wedding was perfect. They handled all of the decor setup seamlessly, and even provided helpful day-of extras that made the entire experience stress-free. We are so grateful to have celebrated our special day at Makray Memorial Golf Club and would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a stunning and well-run wedding venue.

I’m proud to be part of the team at Makray. I began my career in the hotel industry before moving into the corporate world as a meeting planner. In 2006, I transitioned to the wedding team at Makray, where I’ve found my passion in helping couples bring their special day to life. With years of experience in planning and coordination, I’m known for my ability to multitask, stay organized, and provide exceptional customer service. I genuinely enjoy connecting with people and take the time to understand each client’s unique vision with care and compassion. I feel incredibly lucky to work with a team that feels like family and to be part of creating memorable, joyful moments for others.
Born and raised in Chicago, I love spending my free time cooking, entertaining, decorating, shopping, meeting friends for a cappuccino, or relaxing with a good movie.

I joined the Makray team in April 2015 as the Assistant Banquet Manager, where I gained valuable experience in event setup and execution. In July 2017, I transitioned into the Wedding Department alongside Laurie, shifting my focus to the finer details of all things “wedding” and I’ve loved every minute of it.
When I’m not coordinating special moments, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our three children. Whether we’re watching sitcoms, going on road trips, or playing board games. You’ll often find me unwinding in the garden with a good book and the company of our chickens.

I’m the Wedding Coordinator and Social Media Coordinator at Makray, and I truly LOVE what I do! Every “I do” is a chance to help make dreams come true. It’s a bit like magic (with a well-planned timeline, of course). I studied Marketing and Promotions at Northwestern Business College and worked as a Promotions Coordinator before discovering my true calling: weddings, sparkles, and love stories.
When I’m not fluffing dresses or straightening centerpieces, I’m embracing the beautiful chaos of life with my amazing husband, our three wonderful kids, and two very energetic dogs. It’s loud, it’s busy, and it’s full of love, and I wouldn’t have it any other way!
