Colonial Country Club

ered all of our questions, gave my mom and brother a tour first since we weren’t in the state, and took care of us during the tasting when we were down in Florida from North Carolina. Unfortunately, he moved on to another company a month before our wedding. Fortunately, they had Sheila fill in. She was great as well! We didn’t meet her until the day of the wedding at the reception, but she was well aware of all our wants, and flawlessly took over. She was quick to respond to any questions we had. Her and her staff executed everything perfectly. Venue and Amenities: the venue is beautiful!! All our guests, and even our photographer, said how nice the reception area was inside and out. We got married in December so they were decorated for Christmas; which added the perfect touch to our theme. The amenities include in our price was a great value and well worth it. Between all that was included (event coordinator, cocktail hour, meal, alcohol, cake, uplighting for the dance floor, linens, plates and utensils, etc), we weren’t worried at all! Plus between Michael and Sheila, it was like we had a wedding planner. Wedding Day: everything went smoothly! Enough seats and tables for everyone and everything! The waiters were so polite and attentive. Our guests got there first but when my husband and I got there, they made sure we at least got some food during the cocktail hour! The food was well presented and delicious! My favorite were probably the hor d’oeuvres! (We had the fried Conch, beef Wellington’s, and coconut shrimp). During the cake cutting ceremony, we realized we forgot a knife, whoops! But the staff brought one out right to us! Awesome customer service. After: one of the vendors didn’t deliver a good batch of the product on the day of our wedding, with no fault to Colonial. They improvised the best they could! Not a beat was missed. And they made it up to us. Again, great customer service. I definitely recommend Colonial Country Club if you’re looking for a beautiful venue, and don’t want to have to worry about the little stuff. They take care of all of that for you.

ing our day go off without a hitch. They even helped us make sure that we got to sit back, relax, and enjoy all of the food and beverages we picked out for our guests. Would recommend with the highest regards.

end that people host an event just so that they can hold it at Colonial, that is how great it was!

he third country club I checked out in a day and I cancelled all future appointments after meeting Michael the first time! He was quick to offer a wealth of resources that made the process easy. Not to mention the packages offered are so reasonable. Our wedding day turned out to be the wedding of our dreams with Colonial Country Club!

of venues in Fort Myers and CCC was by far the best. We looked at Pelican Preserve, The Plantation, Grandezza, Miromar Lakes, Cross Creek, just to name a few. A lot of these places couldn't offer us an inside ceremony site, and if they could give us a ceremony site, it would be inconvenient/awkward space and they didn't seem to happy to accommodate. Also, they were all much more expensive than Colonial and were definitely not as accommodating. When we walked into Colonial, we were immediately greeted with friendly faces and walked around the premises. When we offered up our concerns, the staff was so gracious and was not stumped by our concerns. Michael Garner was amazing to work with throughout the entire process. Whenever we had a question or concern, he was more than confident that it would be handled. He is very skilled (has worked there 12 years and put on more weddings than he can count) and I trust him completely! His demeanor is PERFECT to work with if you get a little stressed out during the process (like I did). Also, when we signed with Colonial, they have so many vendors that they work with that it makes it so easy and carefree to plan your wedding with them. When I hear about all my friends who were doing a million DIY things, I was SO thankful I didn't have that added stress. Colonial takes care of everything. My wedding was an absolute dream, it was the perfect day of my life. On wedding day, Michael was a dream to work with. He was so relaxed and laid back, put me totally at ease. The ceremony and reception site was beautiful (although it didn't need any embellishments, it's already STUNNING without any decorations!) It was the perfect, most beautiful day and it wouldn't have been that way if I didn't go with Colonial Country Club. I highly, HIGHLY suggest using this as your wedding venue, you won't be sorry!!

so much easier than it could be. The grounds are absolutely stunning and make for fabulous pictures. The food is excellent and the service top notch. I cannot say more positive things about this place. Unless you have your heart set on a beach wedding, (or even if you do this place may sway you) I recommend this site. Beautiful, professional, delicious! My wedding was perfect because of all of their hard work!

price with everything that they include and the service that you receive. The turned my dreams and images into a fairy tale wedding, I could not have asked for anything more perfect. I honestly have no complaints, they responded to all of my insane emails in a timely manner and were so incredibly helpful and sweet. If you could do it over we would not change a thing, they took any and all stress away and made me feel as comfortable as someone can feel when planning their wedding.

me on when everything needed to be completed. On the wedding day he made sure my husband and I were happy and had everything we needed. Their food and beverage manager was amazing too. His kitchen ran smooth, his staff were excellent, friendly and accommodating . Plus all my guests raved about the food!! The place is gorgeous we had beautiful pictures taken! I could rave more and on and on. We had the most incredible day and it was because colonial country club really took care of us!!

whole time. It was beautiful and the food was awesome. I had the ceremony there as well and I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful ceremony. Rob and Mike helped me make the wedding of my dreams.

s comforting to know that on what could have been a very stressful day, i walked into my reception and everything was taken care of and it looked beautiful and the grounds are an amazing view and backdrop to your wedding photos. The all inclusive packages that they offer make things even easier instead of going a la carte. They also have vendors that they work with that offer discounts once they know you will have your wedding at Colonial. Amazing!!! I couldn't have asked for better service and a great experience.

ut a hitch. If you're planning on getting married in SWFL, stop looking and book here!

guests loved the food. We have gotten so many complements from family and friends stating it was the best wedding they had ever been too. We had 180 and it was a great size. There was plenty of room. If you book them.. you will not regret it!

le linens, chair bows, open bar, appetizers, food (that was AMAZING!) and a cake from Mason's Bakery. In addition, the staff the day of the event were wonderful. Having my wedding reception at Colonial Country Club was a stress reducer - there was so much less for me to worry about, because they took care of most of it. Thank you!!!!

ive them six stars out of five I would. The grounds were perfectly manicured, wait staff attentive and food delicious! It was one of few places that offered a package that included a wedding cake, chair covers, bows, etc. Highly Recommend!!

ively stress free. Michael and Alan were both excellent. From assisting us throughout the entire planning process, to impeccable attention to detail on our wedding day, they were so helpful.

ures. I also like the fact that it's new so I didn't even need chair covers because the chairs were so beautiful. I also liked how they didn't charge extra for champagne toast and cake cutting....it was all included.;The management got in a arguement with the baker (the cake is supposed to come with the package) a month before the wedding they told me I had to switch bakers because they weren't using the baker anymore. I did not have time to meet with another baker and I loved the baker I had already. After many phone calls and panics they finally agreed to let me keep my orignial baker. I felt like the upper management handled the situation poorly. Also during the cake cutting we did not see a plate or napkins to use we had to use our hands. Also, it was very expensive to extend the time, even w/out alcohol.
