The Moraine: North Shore’s Crown Jewel Reimagined

A Legacy of Excellence

The Moraine, formerly known as The Highland Park Country Club, is not just a venue; it’s an experience. It’s the result of a collaboration between the City of Highland Park and Catering by Michaels, bringing together rich history and modern luxury.

The Moraine

The venue’s new name pays tribute to the region’s glacial history, with the word “Moraine” symbolizing the natural beauty that surrounds it. This space serves as a testament to the commitment to preserving the site’s historic significance while embracing innovation and world-class service.

Giving is Good. Giving Together is Better.

We always do an annual Thanksgiving meal donation to Northwestern Settlement for 400 people so those in need can enjoy all the delicious traditions of a Thanksgiving meal. COVID-19 has destroyed our industry and continues to have a profound impact on our company. The events industry has been hit the hardest and so many of our favorite companies have already closed their doors. We have been hit hard, really hard, but there are so many people that are in need more than us. We really weren’t sure how we were going to make any donation work this year because of COVID-19. That is until we got a little help from our friends!
