Blackberry Ridge Golf Club

Blackberry was amazing, everyone was dedicated to making sure our day was more than we expected. A little on the pricey side but is what it is. The premium package to help setup and clean up was worth every penny!!

We stumbled upon Blackberry Ridge and could never be more grateful! This is a MUST wedding venue! If I could get married all over again, I would keep coming back to Blackberry Ridge! Our initial venue tour is what had me sold, their staff was friendly and organized and their wedding packages are so inclusive. During planning, the Blackberry staff (Lauren) was there to answer and questions, concerns, and give her professional advice. The venue invited all of the brides for 2022, to come and taste test food and see the venue all “fancy”, it was the perfect touch! Lauren helped us through the entire wedding planning process to make sure that everything was perfect! We dropped off all of our décor the Thursday before our wedding, the staff set-up and took down everything for us. We arrived Sunday AM with all of our décor nicely placed into boxes! Wedding day was all about my wife & I. The staff always asking us if we needed anything. There was not a single hiccup on wedding day, that I know of! Connie was spectacular on wedding day, personally pulling us to enjoy some quiet time by ourselves. Our guests (and us) loved the food, everyone is still raving about it! Blackberry is family and they make you feel like you are a part of it! We love Blackberry and cannot wait to go golfing there this spring.

We could not say enough good things about Blackberry Ridge. Our event coordinator really sold us with how attentive and quickly she got back to us on communication. The venue itself is beautiful with big windows and overlooking the driving range where our ceremony was held. It really felt like a family run business, the night of our wedding every staff I came across would stop my husband or I and ask if needed anything or if we were good and had everything we needed. We chose the premium package where they set up and tear down for us which I will praise and recommend until the day I die. Their food was excellent we got so many compliments on our dishes, appetizers and the late night pizza! The day tan so smooth and we could not ask for a better venue or staff!

Do NOT book this venue. Although beautiful, the “premium package” and staff were unorganized, unprofessional, and did not provide the services that were paid for. 1) DECOR: Lauren and Deb promised to decorate before the bride and wedding party got there Saturday, since there was a wedding going on Friday night that made it impossible to decorate ourselves. They (Lauren and Deb) said to bring all of our decor and multiple times reassured us that “we’ve got this, we’ve been doing weddings together for 10 years”. The bride specified what she had and what her vision was while the ladies wrote notes. The decor was NOT out but rather still in boxes shoved under tables. They were no where to be found. A parent, usher, and one attendant scrambled to set out what decor they could before pictures. Not all of it even made it out of boxes. Regarding outdoor decor, none of even basic decorations were set up. No bows were put on the end of the rows, empty vases where the floral decor should have been. A parent, the DJ, and an usher set up the table outdoors and assembled decor where the bridal party stood. 2) Organization/staff leadership. The bride and others ended up trying to direct the flow of everything. Prior to start of ceremony we could not locate 2 grandmas. They were told by Lauren to wait downstairs, and in fact a bartender gave us directions to line up upstairs. After ceremony NO STAFF directed wedding party where to go so we went in building upstairs. Most guests were downstairs and some came upstairs so parents and others directed guests to not come in where bride was yet. Once staff appeared they had to push guests out of the building in the lower level outside to walk around to front entrance of building as wedding party had to rush downstairs. Chaotic- guests were everywhere not knowing where to go. 3) Unprofessional. Prior to start of grand March (while bride and groom were still outside for sunset pics) Deb was attempting to have wedding party to line up. As I personally came down the stairs I witnessed Deb screaming at them “I’ve had enough! I’m ready to just leave you all on your own to figure this out”. My husband helped her capture their attention by clapping. She then stopped her telling. Her voice certainly carried to the top of the stairs where guests were. I was floored at how unprofessional this was. There were COUNTLESS times throughout the evening where neither one of them could be found to answer a question. Although the bartender Abby was very nice. 4) Drinks. We had 2 kegs and one on reserve. By the time the dinner started we were being asked to pay for 3rd keg. Couldn’t believe the others had run out so soon, until a couple people noted that as they filled up keg glasses they just kept the lever on in between getting glasses so beer was literally going down the drain. Food was good though. Blackberry Ridge did NOT deliver on all of their promises and all that they were paid for. Thousands of dollars wasted.
