Coral Gables Country Club

us photos of Coral Gables Country Club and it got our attention. So, she helped us contacting Ms. Lorena to see if there was availability and we were lucky! We are beyond satisfied with the staff of Coral Gables Country Club. Lorena showed us the venue, the perfect place to have the ceremony, the cocktail, and our reception. The place didn’t need to have a full decoration. The wedding tasting was sooo delicious! The chef explained each food we selected, also Angela was there explaining to us all the details for the wedding with our wedding planner. I cannot describe with words how happy I was the day of our wedding. The personnel of CGCC were so professional, emphatic, and helpful. They helped my wedding planner from day 1 in every detail and with our vendor requirements (for example our videographer needs to check the internet connection and all those electrical needs for the livestream). Our wedding was small, intimate and we didn’t want to stay all night long. From 5:30 pm to 11:30 pm it was more than enough to have fun, dance, eat (DELICIOUS!!), drink and enjoy with our friends.

time just in case. Yeah, I understand it could vary depending on what menu you choose, etc., but we consistently asked throughout the process and was pushed off until the last minute (2 months prior) when we did our taste test, which still took at least a month before we saw what our per person cost would be. So here we are a little over our guest count number, not knowing it’ll be almost $200 a person and no time to plan or prep because we were told at the last minute. Let’s move on to the day of the wedding. Due to issues with transportation, our beach wedding started late. It started at roughly 620pm instead of 6pm sharp (not their fault), and there was a 20 minute commute from the beach to the reception venue. Our guest were treated poorly from the moment they walked in. I’d hate to think that it had something to do with the color of our skin (and our guest skin) because at our tasting we were treated very nicely by the two people we worked with; but I’m not too sure. To start, they were HIDING the premium liquor (which we paid for). When guest would go to the bar asking for Hennessy, the bartender said that’s not apart of the bar, not knowing my husband had already informed guest that was apart of the bar. One of the groomsmen went to the bar asking for Hennessy for the groom, and was told that wasn’t an option. My husband had to leave the wedding suite, go to the bar himself, and let them know he knows Hennessy is apart of the bar serve it. Majority of our guest did not get ANY premium liquor because only cheaper liquor was on display. How does an open bar run out of alcohol. During the cocktail hour (which ended up lasting an extra 30 minutes to an hour because the room was not set up - keep in mind the ceremony started late, so we were behind schedule; giving even more time to ensure they’re ready) our guest were being told there no more champagne. Again, open bar means it’ll be available - how do you run out of champagne? So we have the problem of our entire wedding reception being pushed back at least an hour because the venue dropped the ball on having the room set up. This hour cut into our dance time, food time, drink time, everything. One of our guest wanted to gift me and my husband a special bottle of alcohol, and as he was bringing it in for us someone from the venue attempted to manhandle and snatch the bottle out of his hand. No communication as to what the problem was, nothing. Our guest weren’t allowed inside the venue to sit, because they were over the hour and a half cocktail hour. When my mother in law and aunt attempted to come inside they were rudely demanded to leave because the bride and groom were to see the room first. But let me be clear, my husband and I were never shown the room BECAUSE EVERYTHING WAS RUNNING BEHIND SCHEDULE. FYI the alcohol is watered down. I’m no drinker, so if you give me 3 shots, I’m done. My wedding party brought me 5 shots back to back, and I felt NOTHING. My husband told me that night, you took all those shots and you’re still drinking, somethings not right with that alcohol. Again, another disappointment. I would have rather spent the money we spent on another venue that allowed us to bring alcohol, and not had any of these problems.

to use the giant ballroom vs the room that should have been for our ceremony, I cannot thank him enough. My reception was in the Atrium room which the room in itself is so BEAUTIFUL!! We received non stop compliments on how delicious the meals were, the open bar was a nice option as well. I would totally do it over if we could, I enjoyed myself to the fullest!

heard nothing from her since. That was over 2 weeks ago. We can’t even consider them because have sent us nothing about pricing or anything for that matter. We are very disappointed.

t ease the uncertainties rising from this pandemic! I wish everybody had her business ethics.

room which was the perfect size for our event (55 guests). It was really lovely as the room is very light and bright and has a beautiful outdoor courtyard and fountain adjacent to the room. Everyone I worked with at the. Coral Gables Country Club, from booking, planning and executing, were extremely professional, friendly, accommodating and helpful in assisting me plan the perfect event for my daughter.

nding an inquiry. They sent me an entire list of questions for me to answer in regards to my wedding. I promptly sent back my responses and I did not hear from them again. I sent a follow-up email and still nothing. This is the very first venue that I have encountered in Miami/Coral Gables that I had to "chase down" and that left my emails unanswered. If this is any indication of how they treat their clients that book with them, I am glad they showed my fiancé and I how unprofessional and unresponsive they are ahead of time. Thankfully are various other gorgeous venues in the area that far more attentive and helpful to potential clients.

reat advice, and did everything she could to execute our vision. It rained on the day of our wedding, and the venue was able to pull off a last minute switch to bring the ceremony indoors. And it was seamless! Our photos tell the story of how beautifully the event came together. Thank you so much for helping make our day so special!

our big day was unforgettable. The venue was the first detail that we locked down and Lisette was key to helping us find many of our other vendors. Her recommendations were spot on and helped bring our vision to life.

banquet managers (especially Tammy) were amazing and nothing but professional and extremely helpful. They were flexible and willing to work with my budget, which I was so happy about. It’s always been a dream of mine to host an event at this venue. I had the best experience and would recommend having any event you’re planning next at the coral gables country club.

e rest of the team were fantastic. Definitely using Coral Gables Country Club for my next wedding. (Just kidding!!!)

e and beyond to make sure I was happy!! The staff was all professional, polite and friendly. I worked with both Lissette (as my main point of contact) and Natalia (in the sales department) and they were amazing. I can’t say enough good things about this venue and I would use them again and again for any event!

es it that much better! The food was excellent and the service was superior. Lissette was the absolute best! We couldn't have asked for anyone better to work with. She always answered my questions quickly, and was extremely helpful with putting our special day together. Words cannot say how thankful we were to have worked with her and her staff. They did a great job from start to finish, and we couldn't have asked for a better day! We were given a bridal suite for our reception that was stocked with food and drinks for us to enjoy and use when needed. We would highly recommend to anyone planning their reception!

My guests are still commenting on the amazing banyan tree that towered over us at the ceremony. The ballroom is so gorgeous. The floors are and chandeliers are beautiful. I also chose the country club because of the food which I had previously at a work function. The food was outstanding and people have commented it is some of the best wedding food they ever had. The serving staff was super friendly as well throughout the night. My event coordinator Lissette was the best. I really liked that she was a fast communicator and also super honest about what would work best. The wedding went so smoothly. I wish I could go back there and do it again.

All is thanks to Lisette, she is the most experienced and profesional to work with. She always answered my calls and emails in a timely matter and was so sweet while doing so. She always made you feel like you were the most important bride even though I knew she was working several other weddings at the same time. She really made our day perfect and we couldn’t have done it without her. Thank you Lisette, we love you!

ception in the Atrium room which was gorgeous. Cristina was the representative assigned to our wedding. We was fantastic to work with. She promptly responded to every email and phone call. I would absolutely have our wedding here again if I had to do it all over.

loved every second being at the cgcc

I knew it was perfect. Many venues wanted us to have an inside ceremony, go outside for cocktails, and then they'd turn the room around for the reception. Since the wedding was July 1, being outside was not an option, even though they have a fabulous outdoor space underneath a big tree. We had the ceremony inside the ballroom, the cocktails in the lobby and the reception in the beautiful Atrium room with high beam ceilings, two levels, and arched windows all around, with uplighting on the 28 columns (supplied by my florist). My guests were blown away at how beautiful the venue was. I grew up in Miami and had never heard of it until I went looking for a venue. The food was great. We did the Mediterranean package, which was the best value and upgraded the liquor package, which is a must. Lissette, our wedding coordinator was helpful, efficient, responsive to our emails, and had great ideas. She was wonderful to work with. It's also nice that you don't have to pay for valet parking, which can add up quickly at other venues. Everything that Lissette promised us was delivered. We were very pleased.

tions. She even came to check on us to see how things were going. As for the food, it is truly amazing! They made sure my husband and I had time to eat and everyone left talking about how great the food was. Highly recommend.

ize grew I ultimately could not use the Atrium Room as I had wanted; however, I highly recommend the venue and the team if you are a bride planning your own wedding and want a stress-free location with open lines of communication.

kind . The country club is breathtaking , it had the exact look I was looking for . The grand ballroom is huge with its high ceiling and chandeliers. The food was delicious and still was presented elegantly . What a grand experience .. if I could do it over I would go with the same venue !

the ballroom. The service at this venue was five star. The entire team worked together to make our special day perfect. The food was delicious and they catered to us like we were royalty! It is a beautiful venue and parking is very convenient for guests. I would highly recommend the Coral Gables Country Club!

that my day came out perfect. The venue is a little pricey but if you're anything like me you'll pay for what you want. I didn't like the chairs that were provided so I rented my own (which I think in the future they should have discounted off of the invoice someone chooses to have different chairs). Besides that I have no complaints my day was absolutely PERFECT at this gorgeous venue.
