Bull Valley Golf Club

f my own experience. BVGC was our first chose always and we in way regret choosing it. Vickie was our main point of contact and initially we enjoyed talking with her since she was adamant they could accommodate our needs such as obtaining tequila (since they don't normally have it at the club) and allowing our dogs to walk down the aisle. On a positive side Vickie was helpful, made us feel welcomed and answered ALL my annoying emails rather quickly. Originally I had written about the hidden decoration rules however in one of the several emails Vickie sent me after the first review she had mentioned it was normal in the wedding industry. I've never been married so these things didn't in any way seem normal to me. I mentioned them not allowing confetti, glitter decor, no open flames, no tape, no aisle runner, their fire pit is only used for a certain degree outside, and escort cards needing a meal indication. Vickie gave us a HUGE break with pricing, and was very sympathetic to the Covid situation. However, we were never given a new contract and were told we couldn't cancel our wedding and if we did we wouldn't get any money back at all. The day of we hit a few snags to which I put the brunt of my review onto Vickie when it was in fact her entire team that dropped the ball. When we arrived for rehearsal Hayley (the day-of coordinator) stated she wasn't expecting us for another hour and a half. Vickie tried clearing things up in her email after the fact however it made me angrier seeing as Vickie sent a text the Tuesday before to Hayley and that same week on Friday Hayley had no idea what was going on. I will still add the bartender Hector was AWFUL and should not work if he has family issues (which Vickie mentioned one of her several after-the-fact emails). The day of there was nobody to greet us or anywhere to hang the girls dresses, to which Vickie added she mentioned that before we booked. The bridal suite chairs are very old and will ruin dresses if you sit in them since the leather is cracked. Hayley checked in on us periodically to make sure we had everything we needed. Once again with the communication, Vickie sent over our table chart to Hayley and somehow Hayley lost it and had to ask me about it. When the groom arrived they men were supposed to have 4 buckets of beer and instead got served 4 actual beers. Hayley claimed to my husband she called Vickie herself to sort it out, to which Vickie in her emails afterwards stated that never happened. The ONLY complaint during the wedding was the bartender Hector and his poor attitude. When Hayley was made aware she immediately changed out bartenders. Below is a pros/cons list: Pros: -Dogs can be there for ceremony -Food was delicious -Service (besides Hector) was AMAZING -Affordable -Late night snacks were delicious and a hit -The patio on the lower level -Extras at NO charge (Flutes/Utensils/Mirrors/Votive/Easels/Table Stands) -Bridal Suite Cons: -Vickie being passive aggressive and blaming her entire team even though I'm holding them all accountable for miscommunication -Bridal Suites furniture -Hidden Rules -Hector the angry bartender

tside despite a few inches of snow on the ground. Even though it was clear that it would be best to have the wedding inside, Vickie still would have done it outside if that's what I wanted. She and the rest of the staff wanted me to feel comfortable with every single detail about the wedding. They were all so kind and had a true vision for what my day should look like after hearing my ideas. They did everything they could to make everything incredibly beautiful and to make me and my husband happy. I felt like Vickie truly cared about what I wanted despite her doing this hundreds of times. I was sick on the day of the wedding and the staff was so attentive and Hailey was the head of the event on the day and she kept checking in with me to see what I needed and what she could do to ease my anxiety over not being able to be in charge, as I would have liked to be. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful venue or a more helpful staff. The food was amazing, everything looked gorgeous, and the fact that they had a house next-door as an option for my wedding party made it that much sweeter. Thank you Bull Valley for absolutely everything!!!

ld post photos I would ! Classy place !

was delicious and we got so many compliments from our guests. Worth every penny that we spent.

er. The wait staff is also amazing and very friendly. Michael, who does their drapery ,is very sweet and easy to work with. The place looks a lot better with the drapery. 2) The grounds are beautiful and there are great photo opportunities there, 3) The food was very good. The filet was done beautifully and I did not hear of any complaints about the food. 4)The bakery they use for the cake is very good. Our donut order was not correct, but not the end of the world. The pastries are very good and lots of different choices. I had requested bags for people to bring left overs home in, but they didn't arrive. Luckily, I brought my own. 5) The bridal suite is large and has a nice area to take pics in. Very lovely. There is also a nice deck to have access to the outside. So nice! 6) The brick patio for cocktails is incredibly large and has tons of seating for guests. It's a great space. 7) The bar area is a great feature and very roomy. The place is set up with a lot of unique areas that make it feel more like a big mansion than a banquet hall. There is also a great deck where guests can go outside from the dance floor area. It's a beautiful view all around as you eat in the reception area. And the dance floor area has beautiful views, as well. 8)If you were planning on having an outdoor ceremony and need to move it indoors, don't be sad. We had the ceremony indoors and it was very pretty to look out the windows at the view. And, very nice not worrying about bugs or the weather. It's a great alternative space for the ceremony and we were very happy with it. NEGATIVES.... 1) In regard to the rental house that the venue offers... the grounds are very unkempt. There were weeds waist high as you walk in the front door. If you are planning to have people over for a rehearsal dinner, you may be disappointed that the place is kept up poorly. However, there are lots of bedrooms, and it is a convenient location to the venue. 2)The preferred vendor they have for the DJ was a major disappointment. (Music in Motion). We did not like them at all. I think there is another company on the list or you could pick from a hundred other ones in the area. We thought they would be best because they work there often, but it was not an advantage AT ALL. To summarize, we had great memories at BVGC and hope you do, too!!

ot have expected, like helping bustle my dress. The staff did a beautiful job laying out the decor and it really made the space feel cozy. We've gotten endless compliments, especially about the delicious food and drinks. Thank you to everyone at Bull Valley that made sure our day was everything we imagined it would be and more!

Valley Golf Club for helping my husband and I have the wedding of our dreams!

e of taking a tour of looking at the club all the way to cueing me down the aisle!

day of, she was on top of everything. All we had to do was drop off any decor, name cards, etc. and they set it all up. Great people to work with and they made my life a lot less stressful for those few months. My whole family keeps saying how it was the best wedding they'd ever been to. And countless people told me it was the best wedding food they've ever had. The venue itself is perfect. The gazebo outside is beautiful and we got a ton of great pictures inside by the fireplace. They were prepared for everything. It rained for a tiny bit right before the ceremony and the staff was outside ready and waiting to wipe off the seating for guests. Just really top notch and they were extremely accommodating to any request. We also rented the house on the property to get ready at the day of. My husband and I both had our families stay there and we had a wedding party of 16 people that came to hang out that day, too. The guys all got ready in the (huge) basement of the house while the girls were upstairs getting hair and makeup done. It worked out perfectly and it's right down the street from the venue. Really amazing place and really great staff. I can't recommend it enough. I almost wish I could do it all again ;)

s whatsoever in the whole day.

etc. When paying $20K for a venue and having multiple onsite "event coordinators", you'd expect to have a bit more help on the day of your wedding rather than having to rely on friends/family to do everything for you.

s delicious! And they served everyone's plate all at the same time, which I have yet to experience at any other wedding! BVGC was the best choice we could have made. Everyone there is so helpful, accommodating, professional, and so sweet. I loved having my wedding here, and I know everyone else who does will do!

went along smoothly. I loved that we were greated with drinks the second we got onto the patio after our ceremony! Everyone kept talking about how great the filet was, not ONE person had a bad one. We also heard great things about the chicken and vegetarian meal. One recommendation would be to have the staff wait to clear the tables. I was a little bummed when we went back to our table around 10pm to see the staff had removed everything off it, including our cake we didnt get to eat. Other than that, everything was great!

thly. Dinner was delicious and the reception staff were all very professional and helpful to us and our guests. We definitely recommend BVGC!

he day of- if there were ever any problems I didn't know about them- as the bride I think that's great! Food and service was great! Thank you so much to Bull Valley for helping to host the wedding of my dreams!

oughout the entire process. The day of, everything went smoothly. Service was wonderful and I had many guests comment on the great service throughout dinner! I was very impressed and so happy with the way everything turned out. Thank you!

to us, and made the experience very enjoyable. Our guests have been raving about how beautiful our romantic, winter reception was. I would highly recommend Bull Valley Golf Club to anyone looking for a beautiful wedding reception experience.

went smoothly and just how we wanted it. The day was beautiful; Eileen and the bull valley staff took care of everything. I didn't have to worry about a single thing. They made our day so easy-going, carefree, enjoyable, and so much more amazing and beautiful than I ever could've imagined. I truly recommend this venue for all occasions and especially weddings. The food was amazing, the reception was absolutely gorgeous, the staff were fantastic, I could go on and on. As soon as we walked into Bull Valley the first day for our appointment, I was hooked. The venue is breath taking and simply gorgeous. Our day was absolutely perfect, it felt like a fairytale. Thank you so much Bull Valley and Eileen. Choose BVGC, you'll be so happy you did!

nd Vickie, Eileen, Mark and the entire staff fulfilled that promise. As parents of the bride, my husband and I got to enjoy the wedding just as the other guests did - without a worry about what needed to happen to make this day special for the bride and groom. Eileen was our wedding coordinator for the rehearsal and on the wedding day, and she took care of every detail. My husband had worked with Mark on the wine selections and the drink coordination. Mark and Eileen were there all day on Saturday with Mark staying until the very end and even helping load the car with centerpieces, gifts, etc. The rest of the staff was wonderful and deserve recognition as well. If I had a question or a need, I asked whomever was close by and that person would find the answer or the person who knew the answer. I was never told to go and ask someone else. The dinner serving was quick and courteous and the food was delicious and perfectly prepared (not an easy task when serving over 130 people in a sitting). I could go on and on and list all of the wonderful things that made our daughter and son-in-law's wedding day just perfect, but that would take too long. Suffice to say that we cannot imagine being any happier with any other venue for this important family day. Cheers to Vickie, Eileen, Mark and the staff at Bull Valley Golf Club!
