We got married 8/3 and i will say the Grands is truly a great place to have your wedding. They take so much stress and work off of wedding planning and make everything extremely easy. From our first meeting we knew we were going to get married here. They help with a lot of vendors such as DJ, Shuttle, candles for centerpieces and all decorations, Day of coordination, food, dessert, late night snacks, and so much more that I know I am missing! They break down the prices completely and we didn’t feel like anything extra was added to our final bill. Weeks before the wedding we met with Joe and Larry to help with the day of coordination and the entertainment piece of coordinating. This helped with giving the DJ an idea of what we wanted for our entertainment and helped our day flow so much easier. The day of our wedding could not have been more great. We got married on the lodge side and used the bridal suite to get ready. It truly is such a beautiful venue that needs little decorations. The staff and Joe were so helpful throughout the day and night to make the day go smoothly and kept open communication between my husband and I. We had DJ Alli and unfortunately it was her last wedding which I think was meant to be because she truly did such an amazing job keeping everyone on the dance floor and taking requests. Truthfully our wedding could not have been more perfect and we have no regrets choosing this venue

We did have a mishap where the outdoor space didn’t have enough chairs and they got that fixed right away. They also dried all the water off the chairs for us (it rained before the ceremony). The spaces are beautiful and were kept clean. You can definitely tell they are professionals with how smoothly our day turned out.

Beautiful space and the staff is phenomenal! Our venue manager, Victoria M., was a dream to work with - she made everything a breeze! Our ceremony involved the transportation and set up of a large amount of personal items/furniture and Victoria found a way to make it happen in the time needed, even on a holiday weekend. She saved the day when the DJ showed up unprepared, and gracefully took charge of a stressful situation. She also helped document the day, which was a surprise to me and it was so lovely to receive her photos and videos the next day. The actual ceremony was a blur so it was truly a gift to be able to experience it through her eyes. This venue is an elegant and historic space, very affordable especially in today's economic climate, they were one of the only venues that was willing to let us do ceremony only as we had an offsite reception, and the staff is just fantastic! I highly recommend!

A’bulae is wonderful! My husband and I do not live in town so we chose the Essentials Package with A’bulae so it would make the planning easier. It really did help everything go smoothly! First, the A’bulae venue is gorgeous and perfect for any weather condition (which helped me not to feel stressed!). The people working at A’bulae respond to emails promptly and professionally. They also help lay out a day-of schedule and handle a lot of the planning. They reach out and meet with the couple several times throughout the wedding planning process to put everyone at ease. Another plus is their in-house decorations, linens, chairs, and tables they set up for weddings. They have several options you can choose from. Further, while A’bulae does require you to use their in-house catering, the food is amazing. All the apps and entrees we chose were delicious. Above all, my favorite part about A’bulae is how they allow you to personalize your wedding as you see fit. My husband and I made our own monogram and cake topper, we made a slideshow to scroll during the social hour, my husband played piano, and we did an about-the-couple trivia game on the screens. It was really fun and made the event special and unique to us. A’bulae worked really hard to make this happen. Even when there was a slight technology issue, they called someone to figure out the solution remotely, and they had the problem solved very quickly. The team worked hard to make everything seamless. Overall, we had an amazing experience, and I’m really glad we chose A’bulae.

I loved the Regency Venue for my wedding on Saturday, May 18th, 2024! I was initially attracted to the Regency because it was a beautiful blank space, and it allowed me to be more creative with my decorations! Ashley & Katelyn were wonderful to work with and responded to my questions quickly during the planning process! Ashley was my DOC, and she was amazing! My hostesses & decorator said she was very helpful with a lot of the wedding day details! I also loved that we got the space from 7:00am - 12:00am and some additional time after to clean up! We stored a lot of the decorations in the bridal suite until Sunday morning, which was nice because we didn't have to be comepletely out of the space on the nice of our wedding, letting us enjoy the night! It was also great working with Short Stop Custom Catering for the Food & Bar Service! Theresa was there to answer any of my questions during planning, and the tasting experience was so fun! Their tasting room is beautiful & I loved being able to try their food with my family! The catering team was incredible & so friendly! We had stuffed sirloin for our entree, and it was delicious! I got so many great reviews from my guest about the wonderful food, great staff, and exceptional bar service! They handled all the set up and tear down of the tables, chairs, and linens & the room flip from ceremony to reception which was a life saver! I cannot recommend the Regency Venue & Short Stop Custom Catering enough! :)

We had our wedding reception of around 100 people at The Bella Room and it was amazing. We have gotten so many compliments on the food, one of them being "best food I have ever had at a wedding!" Working with Brian (owner/head chef) made the whole process so easy, because he does all the food in house, and was so flexible with all of the planning and set up. The staff working throughout the evening were phenomenal, and SO accommodating. There weren't any hidden surprise fee's, responded to all questions in a timely fashion, and the day just worked out wonderfully with them. Could not recommend them enough!

Ryan and Tina work so hard to make sure to get all the details right and to allow you to customize just about everything you can think of at reasonable prices. Ryan and Tina are truly the best and you can tell they love what they do! One unique thing about them is that they are very transparent with pricing and what they offer, which can be difficult to find these days and we really appreciated that. If you book with them you will definitely be taken care of and they will go above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly for you. We are truly so grateful for how wonderful our wedding was!

Having our wedding at The Grand was an absolute dream. The venue itself is a hidden gem, beautiful, unique, and the perfect setting for our celebration of 185 guests and a live band. From the very beginning, working with Lindsay and Jake was such a joy. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and calm, accommodating nature made the entire process seamless and fun. I had plenty of miscellaneous questions along the way, and they were always quick to respond with kindness and clarity. So many of our guests complimented the space and how special it felt.

We enjoyed an amazing wedding experience using the dazzling Olympic Hills golf club venue for our 120 guest wedding in July. The venue itself is exceptionally well-maintained and provided a beautiful backdrop to our happy guests. We enjoyed our wedding service on their outside private deck with customized lighting and organized, comfortable seating. We enjoyed a sumptuous and flavorful Italian buffet, and the Olympic Hills team, including event planner Emily, gave us and our guests superior service. Emily is particularly thorough, extremely well organized, communicative and proactive. Their staff were able to handle specific dietary restrictions and allowed us to bring in commercially licensed appetizers and desserts, and wine of our choice (with acork fee), all providing money saving opportunities on our very small and stringent budget. Despite the fact that we had a very tight budget which they helped us accommodate, I cannot express how thankful I am for Emily, especially being able to coordinate with our vendors to ensure we had a memorable and fabulous celebration. To have access to this kind of glamorous venue without being a club member was invaluable, and we were treated with kindness and respect. I highly recommend for any event and especially a wedding, your guest will feel privileged and happy and as a bride or groom, you will be so relieved at the ease and beauty.

Soulaiman and his crew at The Marriott were so easy to work with and made our wedding reception perfect! From day one, Soulaiman was very attentive and prompt in answering any questions we had. He was easy to get ahold of whether it was via email or a phone call. He was always available to meet in person as well. He was very accommodating to our requests for decorating our reception. For example, we preferred chairs that were in The Kahler for our color scheme. He went above and beyond and had the chairs brought over from The Kahler to the Marriott per our request. We would recommend Soulaiman and his crew to our friends, family, and anyone who is considering booking The Marriott for their celebration!
