This venue was beautiful and it exceeded our expectations. We were looking for a great outdoor venue near our area where our family didn’t have to travel far and this place was perfect. The outdoor ceremony with the waterfall and the greenery in the background allowed us to not have to do much. The team was very communicative such as Hannah. She responded to my questions in a timely manner. We requested for a specific cocktail and they got it done. We are so grateful for this team and this place that made our wedding dreams come true.

Had my wedding at Coyote Hills and it was a perfect wedding. Every penny was worth it!
I worked with Hannah, who was extremely communicative, organized, and helpful. She answered all my questions and made everything easy to digest for me. I went into the wedding planning completely clueless, and she was able to walk me through everything and prepare everything exactly as I wanted it. She replied almost instantly to every email, and never forgot any previous conversation or decision made!
The day of the wedding was spectacular. All the staff was very kind and helpful. In the contract, it says that venue workers aren't obligated to set up personal decorations and guestbook items, but we were running out of time -- and all the venue workers pitched in to set up my DIY decor! Wedding ceremony and reception was coordinated by the day-of-coordinator which Coyote Hills provided, and everything moved and flowed like a well-oiled machine. The catering staff was great and the servers were on top of things. Food came out fast, all of the allergies and accommodations were accounted for; the cake was sliced up within 5 minutes, and the food itself was absolutely delicious. A food tasting was also included in the package, which was very helpful since it allowed us to accurately pick which food items to serve to guests!
The ceremony site is breathtakingly gorgeous. The waterfall and nearby bridge makes for great photo-ops. There is a lovely terrace for cocktail hour, and there is a front area that is easily accessible by car which makes for the perfect grand exit. The staff also directs guests to the ceremony site and will even transport guests there via golf cart.
All of my guests said it was the best wedding they've ever been to!

Working with Coyote Hills was a fantastic experience. Hannah, Alyssa, and the entire Coyote Hills team went above and beyond to ensure we had an amazing wedding. It's truly a beautiful venue; everyone was very experienced at their roles, and all-in-all resulted in us having a lot less to worry about than we would have had we picked a venue where we would've had to do more things ourselves. It's not the cheapest place to hold a wedding, but certainly not the most expensive either (fairly middle-of-the-pack based on our experience), and wow, we felt like we got what we paid for (if not moreso). Hopefully we never have to get married again, but if we did, we'd be happy to have it at Coyote Hills!

Our wedding day could not have been more perfect, thanks to Coyote Hills being such an amazing venue and their staff for their excellent service including Hannah Schade as our point person. The ceremony space turned out as gorgeously as hoped with the waterfall backdrop, as well as the draping and chandeliers by their contracted vendor Glam Event Stylist that just elevated the look of it all. The reception space was truly everything we needed and offered something for everyone, whether dancing or enjoying the photo booth and dessert area or even relaxing in the bar area or terrace. Our guests absolutely loved the food, and we are still getting so many compliments from friends and family about it. Everything seemed to run seamlessly, and the service from staff was very much on point. My husband and I felt attended to during dinner, and we certainly had our fill of the food thankfully. We also greatly appreciated the attention and promptness of replies to emails from the start to the days leading up to the event. We cannot express enough how grateful we are to have had our very special occasion at Coyote Hills, and we hope to book them again for future events (baby shower? :))

We did not have one deciding factor, but rather a culmination of reasons that made us fall in love with Coyote Hills Golf Course, and not feel the need to look elsewhere. First, the convenient location and proximity to both of our families were important to us. We wanted a place that was close to where we both grew up and would be a reasonable distance for the majority of our guests. We loved the stunning ceremony site with the waterfall backdrop. The staff and team were reliable, easy to work with, and professional! The priced packages worked with our budget, and we appreciated that various aspects were able to be modified. However, my all-time favorite moment throughout the whole process was actually after the planning had already been done. There was a period after the wedding ceremony when guests were escorted to cocktail hour and the bridal party had left the ceremony site and went indoors. I was able to see the reception area being set up. I will never forget that moment and how emotional and amazing it felt to see my vision and all the hard work come together! It was in that moment that all the sweat and tears of planning my wedding was all worthwhile. Two highlights of the ceremony that I would like to reminisce on is sharing our vows in front of our loved ones and walking hand and in hand with my husband down the aisle and getting to wave and smile back at all of our family and friends. Simply, thank you for helping us make our wedding day everything we imagined and more. Our guests also raved about the golf cart valet service!

Our wedding was a fairy tale thanks to the beautiful environment and everyone on the event team. Selina, our sales director was responsive and accommodating and on the day of the catering team provided stellar service to us and our guests. The food was fantastic as well, it was raved about all night. If it's not too cold we definitely recommend flipping the ceremony site into your reception site as well! This venue did cost a pretty penny but it was worth it.

My wedding was an absolute fairy tale. I cannot express how happy I was on my day and everything leading up to it. Our coordinators at Coyote Hills were so easy to work with. They were helpful and informative. They are willing to work with you on your budget. The food was spectacular as well. I got a lot of compliments on the meal. Usually wedding food is hit or miss but I was very impressed with everything. I'm a foodie so an over cooked steak would annoy me and they said that all steaks must be cooked to the same doneness. They recommended medium which is more done than I normally like it, BUT on the wedding day, it was cooked perfectly.
One small hiccup that wasn't really that big of a deal was that the mic cut in and out during the ceremony at times. We just took it slow and our ceremony was short anyways. My DJ said that if he had known it was a thing, he could've fixed it with the wiring or something, but like I said it wasn't a big deal. Just be aware so you can have your DJ work around that.
They really do small things to ensure your day is special. One thing I loved was that my signature drink was a dirty martini. Although they do not have martini glasses for everyone, they had our signature drinks in a martini glass for us waiting on the sweetheart table. It's honestly the small things that I love. I cannot recommend them enough. Shout out to Selina & Kyra for making our day perfect.

The ladies at Coyote Hills were very responsive and answered all our questions. They made booking vendors an easy process by offering a full list of preferred vendors and everyone is extremely nice and wanted to make sure our wedding was perfect. I want to relive the day all over again! Definitely consider touring Coyote Hills venue, you won’t regret it!!

The venue, Coyote Hills Golf Course, had a wedding before ours which the venue coordinator, Hannah, didn't notify our wedding planner, so our wedding planner ended up waiting in her car for hours just to wait for the staff to finish cleaning up when my planner specifically told her that she will be there at this time to set up. Also, this venue booked a golfing event at the same time as our wedding, which they also didn't inform us about. It's a golf course and they told us in the beginning that the golf carts would've been already put away by the time we start, however that was not true, because of the golfing event, there were still carts going around which was horrible since they were distracting our photoshoot. Also, the venue was late setting up the ceremony site, like no aisle runner, due to the overbooking of this venue, which made the photographers to have a delay getting their details shots. Our white dance floor was late to
the reception as well, one of the assistant coordinator, Kyra, even had the nerve to blame us for it being late. Hannah also had the nerve to blame us for "not informing" her that we will have signature cocktails, which we did in the very beginning of our wedding planning, she was the one who gave us the idea. She is very forgetful, since she forgot to put in her notes about the signature cocktails and she kept forgetting to include the sweetheart table drapings that we have been requesting for for months. She didn't include it until the last week of planning. The serving of the food was delayed as well for the guests. There were some people who couldn't come, but their food was paid for, someone asked if they could eat the extra plate of food since that person wasn't there, the staff said "no he has to be here for us to serve it". We paid for all the plated food even for the ones who couldn't make it. Why can't they just give out the extra food to the ones who wants to eat it? Why did we have to beg for the food we already paid for? Also, Hannah informed us that the locker rooms downstairs for both male and female will be private for our event, however people from the golfing event kept coming in and we had left our stuff there. My husband lost his toiletries with an expensive cologne inside due to this. Everything felt so rushed because the venue didn't have everything together. Hannah and Kyra were horrible to work with, my wedding planner was so stressed out trying to get everything organized and ready but due to all
the delays from the venue, it made her job harder than it already is. I regret booking my wedding at this venue. We have spent a ton of money for nothing.

We fell in love with the outdoor ceremony space this venue offer. The greenery and waterfall backdrop is perfect for any wedding. The rest of the facilities on site such as the complimentary parking lot, restrooms, private changing areas, cart shuttle service, etc. were great and convenient for our guests. Lastly, the staff did a phenomenal job making sure the entire event ran smoothly and efficiently. We loved working with the club's events team to plan and host the wedding of our dreams! We really appreciate the level of personalized care they provided to us during the entire process! They provided a helpful list of preferred vendors early on to help us in the planning process. Also, the day of the event the staff was absolutely wonderful! Attentive, nice, and friendly. They made us feel very well taken care of which made the day that much more special!

Wonderful! Amazing! Beautiful! Perfect! Thanks to Hannah and Zoe for making our wedding celebration a fabulous occasion. I switched my venue one month prior to our wedding due to my previous venue canceling, and the experience working with Coyote Hills Golf Course was exceptional. The food was perfect. All of my guests commented on how delicious it was. The chef worked around my gluten intolerance and my mother's nightshade allergies. We were so happy with the venue's beauty. Thanks Coyote Hills for making our wedding so special.

We were lucky to find Coyote Hills when our original venue was unavailable due to COVID closures. The golf course grounds are so beautiful, especially the ceremony location with its waterfall, flowers, and lush greenery. The reception space was perfect for us as it was very flexible to different party sizes and had lots of decoration options. It was convenient how close the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception spaces all were to each other, especially for our older guests. Hannah was such a delight to work with throughout the entire process, she was always quick to respond and very helpful with any questions we had. She understood exactly what we were looking for. The menu tasting was a fun experience, and all the staff was very welcoming and kind. We felt so well taken care of and knew our big day was going to look just how we envisioned. The food on the wedding day was delicious and our guests loved it. We opted to add on a dessert table and churros as a late night snack and they were a huge hit! We had guests in their 90s tell us our wedding at Coyote Hills was the most beautiful wedding they had ever attended. This venue was originally plan B for us, but I feel like it was all meant to be and can’t imagine getting married anywhere else!

My husband and I are so grateful we found Coyote Hills Golf Course. We fell in love with the ceremony site, but the overall venue was so gorgeous. We opted for the brunch wedding and the food was delicious (*chef's kiss*). Cody was great to work with leading up to the wedding and Jessica was very organized for the rehearsal and day-of. I couldn't have asked for a better venue and team. Thank you!

Please read! If you are an engaged couple, you must book this venue. The venue itself is beautiful; outdoor waterfall, white drawings, picturesque landscapes. But what made this venue so incredible for us was the accommodations, packages and the staff! Our coordinator was Cody. He (as well as everyone else on staff) were so helpful and allowed us to plan with so much ease. They are friendly, quick to respond to emails/calls and are willing to assist you to make your wedding day the best day. Coyote Hills made us feel 100x less stressed than any of our other friends planning a wedding. They have packages that include table cloths, dance floor, centerpieces, food, drinks, and service (waiters). This helped us SOO much! All we had to do was choose colors and designs! If you are an engaged couple, you will not regret choosing this venue. 100% of our guests kept complimenting us on our venue choice that night and even after our wedding, our friends and family told us how much they loved our venue and our wedding. Overall, such a smooth process and the most memorable night ever thanks to Coyote Hills and their staff.

I am not getting married at Coyote Hills but I wanted to leave a review about how great the team is here. We went on our venue tour and then Cody sat down with us for a good amount of time talking about our budget and changing things around in the proposal so we would actually be IN budget. The entire team made me feel like I was in such great hands that I wouldn't have to worry about anything for the wedding. Every time I emailed them with future questions or updated proposal sheet I got an immediate response. The venue itself had a ceremony area was by far my favorite out of any venue I went to. We were very close to choosing this venue and if I had I'd still be super excited for my wedding day!

I can't say enough good things about the Coyote Hills staff. Throughout the entire 18 months leading up to our wedding day, Robyn and Cody were incredibly friendly, professional and attentive. They were quick to answer any (of the many) questions I had and made the planning process so smooth. For the day of, Annie was our coordinator and she was nothing but kind and helpful. She did a great job making sure any loose ends were tied up and things were on schedule. The food was delicious - we had a morning wedding, so our guests were pleasantly surprised and enjoyed the breakfast options in the buffet. The bar and wait staff were friendly and professional as well. Overall, I had a much better experience than I ever could have hoped for. Big thank you to Coyote Hills for making our day so perfect!

Choosing a venue is the most important aspect of wedding planning. Everything flows from that decision. With that said, we are so glad we chose Coyote Hills Golf Course for our October 2018 wedding! Throughout the entire process, I was consistently impressed with their attention to detail and commitment to getting everything right. Although we had the pleasure of working with several of their staff over the course of the planning process, our main contact was Cody. He was very attentive to all our questions and updates. He worked hard to make everything as easy on us as possible, and we so appreciate that! All of the staff the night of our wedding seemed to be on point. Also, the food was delicious – we know this because we actually got to eat our dinner the night of the wedding and all our guests kept telling us how incredible the food tasted! Coyote Hills is a well-oiled machine, and if you choose them for any event, you won’t be sorry. Thank you, Cody and the Coyote Hills team!

From start to finish Coyote Hills was nothing but sheer joy to work with! Our wedding team consisted of Robyn, Bennsey, and Cody--and the three of them showed the utmost professionalism and warmth during our year and a half of planning.
The biggest selling point that Coyote Hills has is their outdoor ceremony site. The pergola is absolutely breathtaking with the waterfall in the background, and it provides the most stunning photos. The bonus aspect of their outside accommodations is that since it is a golf club, the entire landscape is continuously maintained, so even though our wedding was in mid-November all of the foliage was lush and fresh. The inside of the venue is like a giant canvas--anything you can think of the venue will do. From the linens, draping, uplighting, to the floor plan, the team will help you create the reception of your dreams.
Finally, the most important part--food and drink. We went with a plated dinner versus a buffet, and I really don't think one person had complaints about lack of flavor or receiving a cold plate. From the tray passed appetizers (I seriously recommend the poke!) to the salad and the main course, everything hit the mark 100%. And I mean how hard is it to mess up drinks? Yonni was great at keeping our guests in a perpetual state of bliss all night. :) The only minor downside of the bar is that they do have limitations to the full spectrum of drinks they can do--but I'm only talking about exotic drinks which were no big deal. (Think fancy tiki drinks that my husband loves haha).
At the end of the day, Coyote Hills truly gave us the day we had been imaging during the entirety of the planning process. Both my husband and I agree that our wedding day was perfect, and we cannot thank the staff and the venue enough for that.

Wedding - June 2017
The first thing that caught our eye about Coyote Hills Golf Course was their outdoor ceremony area. It is the picture-perfect backdrop for any wedding with its lush foliage, modern wooden architecture, and a tranquil waterfall. With originally anticipating about a 300 person guest count (which ultimately decreased to be ~250 guests), the event staff at Coyote Hills was always reassuring that our party size would fit comfortably within the outdoor ceremony and indoor reception spaces. During our planning process, some of the event staff left the venue and we were assigned a different staff member that would primarily work with us. It was wonderful working with Brooke. She was always so excited to see us and discuss the details of our event. She made us feel like we were important clients and took interest in making our day special. Brooke even gave us the idea to use flashing foam sticks during our grand entrance, something she had done for her own wedding.
Everyone we encountered at Coyote Hills was friendly, from each member of the event staff to the bartenders to the food service manager. When deciding on specifics for our wedding, Coyote Hills was willing to work within our budget and adjust their packages to fit exactly what we wanted. It was extremely convenient that their packages included coordination services, as well as cake vendors. Coyote Hills offered food-tasting events to help choose menu options, however, the decisions were still difficult for us since everything we tried tasted fantastic.
On our wedding day, our coordinator worked with the Coyote Hills staff to ensure correct set up at both the ceremony and reception sites. We have since discovered Coyote Hills posted photos of our décor and professional photographs on their social media sites, making us feel special to be featured amongst their numerous beautiful events.
We are so happy we chose Coyote Hills Golf Course for our wedding location. It is now a place that we will hold dear to our hearts and we cannot thank them enough for their part in making our day absolutely perfect.

We have been touring a few golf clubs in the OC and were very unimpressed. The inside of the club is outdated, Oak wood trim and that late 90's pastel green everywhere. I had an appointment at 12 and they kept us waiting at least 15 minutes without any apologies or thank you's, which was fine but still left an impression. Quote for 130 people for Sunday in December wedding was $26,000 - not including an extra $1000 fee if we wanted an outdoor reception. BEAUTIFUL ceremony space, but EXPENSIVE! almost $10,000 more than we have been quoted at Mesa Verde and Anaheim Clubhouse.

Brooke Kelly went above and beyond to help make our wedding day perfect! She was AMAZING! Everything ran so smoothly and the day was a success for everyone. The venue is the most beautiful venue I have ever seen and I received so many compliments on it. We also got compliments on how great the food was also. We were very impressed with them. Looking forward to having dinner there for our 1st anniversary next year! For couples looking into Coyote Hills, the price listed included the food and appetizers, cake, 1 hour hosted bar, wedding and reception site fees, upgraded linens and chair covers, sweetheart alcove with chandelier for the bride and groom, and full wall draping for reception and ceremony site.

What sold my (now) husband and I on the venue was the gorgeous ceremony site! We had always wanted to get married outdoors and with the high arches and beautiful waterfall/pond backdrop, it was perfect! A definitely plus that the reception/cocktail area is a mere few steps away. The staff is, by far, one of the greatest we've ever had the pleasure of working with. They are GREAT with response time and are such a friendly group of warm, caring young women. We loved them so much we hope to continue our amiable relationship for years to come!

Coyote Hills Golf Course is a stunning wedding venue! My husband and I looked at several different venues in the area, but Coyote Hills is unique in that there is an arbor in the ceremony area, covered with beautiful wisteria vines, and with a backdrop of waterfalls, pond, trees and flowers. It looks amazing in our photographs.
The reception area is beautiful too, with a balcony outside with a panoramic view of the golf course. My husband and I did not have time to do taste testing, but the salmon and chicken we chose for entrees turned out very good, especially the salmon. The vegetables were under cooked though. I also noticed that service during the reception did not seem very adequate. The coffee was placed along the wall for self-serve (which most guests were not aware of) instead of being poured at the tables. Water was also not refilled.
One major gripe I have with the venue is the bridal suite. It was only available for 2 hours up until the start of the ceremony, after which it was opened to the public for the golfers and other guests. There was no place to lock up our stuff so my family had to bring the personal items to the car before the ceremony started. Also, since the hair and makeup took over 3 hours, we had to do this at our house before heading to the bridal suite at the venue.
The staff at the event planning office at Coyote Hills were very nice and responsive.
Overall I’d say there is some room for improvement for this venue, but I’d still highly recommend it.

I just recently got married at Coyote Hills!!! This place is amazing. Such a beautiful venue and amazing workers. I had the pleasure of working with Brooke Kelly and she went above and beyond to make my day special. She was on top of everything and provides great communication. She is truly such an amazing person to work with. She has a great personality, very friendly and a dedicated worker. If you were as blessed as me to have her coordinate your wedding it will be a day you will
Never forget. On top of having great workers their food is the highest qualitiy. Getting married here with Brooke by your side os a guaranteed night you will never forget.

We had our wedding at Coyote Hills and it was awesome. Katelyn and Victoria worked with us and walked us through each step of the process and made it easy for us. The venue is beautiful, perfect for our outdoor ceremony and the reception was also wonderful, beautifully decorated with draping and uplighting which we would highly recommend. The food was great and the cake was also included in our package (we chose Great Dane Bakery and it was very tasty!)!
We did not have a wedding coordinator and the ceremony and reception ran smoothly regardless!
We highly recommend Coyote Hills!

My hubby and I are so happy with choosing this venue for our ceremony. Everyone complimented us on how gorgeous the site looked with the chandeliers and draping. Victoria was very nice and easy to work with! We had cocktail hr too and it was a nice hour to entertain guest. You need to book this venue. It's the prettiest venue you'll find in the LA and OC counties!

This was the best venue! The place was absolutely gorgeous, the food was delicious, and the staff was super helpful the whole way through! No pressure at all! Katelyn was an absolute doll to work with!! Our photos also turned out great thanks to the wonderful scenery! Highly recommend this place! We even had a customized menu - we did a Sunday brunch wedding which was hard to find a place to accommodate that. They were more than accommodating - in fact they were excited to do it for us! We had an omelet bar, a waffle station, and a full breakfast buffet! We also hosted bloody marys and mimosas! It was a blast and all thanks to the help of Coyote Hills and their wonderful staff! Thanks again you guys!!

From the time I first saw the venue, I knew this was it. Coyote Hills Golf Course is simply gorgeous! I got married in August 2016, outside by the waterfall which creates a beautiful background. Our ceremony to the reception ran smoothly. The reception room was also a great size and the floor to ceiling windows make the great view continue into the night. The staff there is WONDERFUL! I personally worked with Victoria with all of the planning and she is truly amazing! I couldn't have asked for a better person to work with as she was very informative and very sweet. Thank you Coyote Hills Golf Course for helping me create my dream wedding!

Coyote Hills is one of the most beautiful wedding venues in Southern California. The view during ceremony is absolutely breathtaking, and there are so many locations to take photos throughout the property. The bridal and groom's suites are spacious, the reception room is stunning as well (especially when it's draped and uplit!) and the food was FANTASTIC! Both the catering team and their coordination team are absolute pros, but without making it feel like they're a wedding factory. Their response time was quick to every single email or phone call that I placed and the pricing was very reasonable. HIGHLY recommended!

The venue, food, staff, everything was PERFECT! I have received so many compliments on the ceremony site and banquet room it is unbelievable. My wedding felt like a dream from the draping and chandeliers at the ceremony site and the twinkle lights inside the banquet room! It might have been everything and more than I had hoped for in a wedding. Thank you to Cori and all the staff at Coyote Hills who made the most perfect start to a beautiful marriage!

Our daughter got married on June 25, 2016 at Coyote Hills Golf Course. Kaitlyn our wedding coordinator was exceptional. Kaitlyn helped to create my daughters dream wedding. She was always available to talk and give advice throughout the planning process. The day of the wedding she kept everyone calm and the wedding went off without a hitch. Any issues that arrived, she handled immediately without the brides knowledge. I don't know how we would have made it throughout the day without her.
We also have a pending wedding for August 6, 2016 at this venue for our other daughter. Our coordinator for this wedding is Cori. She has been fabulous thus far, and we are excited for the upcoming event. We are extremely appreciate for both ladies help and effort along the way.
I would highly recommend both this venue and these ladies expertise when looking for a venue and coordinator for a special day.

Coyote Hills was a wonderful location for my daughter's wedding last weekend! The staff there is very professional and friendly. Especially the banquet managers, Pete and Myra. Pete and Myra know their job and doing it extremely well. The sales directors Michelle and Amanda were very nice and accommodating of all of our needs. They always returned my calls and emails in a timely manner. I also, have to acknowledge a waiter named Jeff who helped my elderly Aunt all evening. He really went above and beyond. My husband and I left the event being thoroughly happy with how everything turned out. I highly recommend Coyote Hills for your event!

Coyote Hills was amazing!!!! Michelle was our wedding coordinator. She helped me put my plan together. The vendors they recommended, the food, the set up at the reception, timeline for the ceremony and the ceremony were all beautiful. Not one day has passed since the wedding that we don't get a compliment on one thing or another. I would recommend Ciyote Hills to anyone looking for a memorable day and beautiful event. Attend the bridal shows here, gives you a good idea if what things will look like. Thank you Coyote Hills for making our wedding a dream come true.
My sisters described like a scene from a movie. Everything was truly beautiful!!!

I am so happy that I chose Coyote Hills for our wedding in November 2013. The site is absolutely stunning. From the waterfall behind the ceremony, to the reception hall with a view of the golf course and sunset, to the private rooms for the wedding party...this venue is what made the day perfect. Michelle is the event director and she could she is truly a visionary. She and her assistants made my dream wedding a reality and made sure everything was perfect on that day. She was so professional and responded to every email quickly and efficiently. The food was phenomenal and our guests are still talking about how beautiful everything was. Words cannot explain our gratitude and I highly recommend this venue to any bride or anyone just looking to host an event.

My experience with Coyote Hills was a very positive one, throughout the process they were helpful and rersponsive. We only had one glitch with a charge I was no made aware of, but aside from that - they were a pleasure to work with. The grounds are picturesque and were the #1 reason I chose this location.

At first everything seemed wonderful, then when I came back to finalize everything two weeks before they changed everything. They said the drinks package I originally included was missing so they needed to add in a thousand dollars! I was shocked. They told me I could call in on Monday with my final count for my Saturday event. I called and said 130 people instead of the 200 (they knew that it was going to be a lot less than 200 but told me to shoot high than too low when budgeting the invoice). Everything seemed fine. Then on the day of the event they hit me with a bill for all 200 people. I had to leave the reception and go fight with this women MICHELLE (events coordinator/manager) who was so rude. I never even told her how upset I was that there was not a representative from the events department there almost my entire party. Some server was trying to help us with set up or answer my questions. That would have been fine if she spoke good English. So, finally she agreed to come down to the 130, but she was terrible. I would ONLY suggest going to them if she had nothing to do with your party. Beautiful location, but rude events coordinator.

We had our wedding at Coyote Hills on December 29, 2012. My husband and I had our wedding budget laid out and set in stone before we started the actual planning process, and Coyote Hills was one of the venues that not only met our budget limit but also the ONLY venue on that list that really caught our attention. The second we stepped onto the venue for our tour, we fell in love.
When Coyote Hills says that you don't need a wedding coordinator - trust me, you don't need a wedding coordinator. I couldn't believe it myself, so I found myself emailing them every few months to confirm that we would not need a day of coordinator. They had the wedding rehearsal down, and the actual wedding flowed smoothly (they were even flexible with moving our ceremony indoors at the last minute due to rain, and also working with our dj/lighting to ensure the new ceremony room looked absolutely amazing!)
The food was delicious (we were expecting typical banquet food - dried chicken and steak, etc...but our food tasting appointment said otherwise - and all of our guests after the wedding mentioned how good the food was!), their responsiveness to all my random questions through the planning process was excellent, and we couldn't have asked for more.

I thought coyote hills did a great job with the arrangements. Our coordinator was very helpful and attentive. She walked us throughout the entire way and was always available when we called her. The only issue we had was on the morning of the wedding someone from the office called and told us that they made a mistake on our bill and they mischarged. They were short 600 plus dollars and asked if they can bill to my card. This was a little annoying since it was the day of the wedding and that was the last thing that can possibly go wrong. Other than that the rest of the day went really smooth and the staff and coyote was excellent.

I absolutely LOVED this venue for my wedding. The ceremony location is outdoors with a gorgeous awning framing the aisle with perfect greenery growing around it and a BEAUTIFUL water fall in the background. We got married the first weekend of April and it was a nice sunny day but the awning provided the perfect amount of cooling shade for comfort. The venue is so pretty that not much decor is needed to make it look very nice. We had our reception at the same location. The inside of the banquet hall is so-so; definitely need to dress this up. Also, they need to hire a new chef or something because the food is not so great. But we loved the location and the look of this venue so much that we didn't care so much about the food. Just stuck with chicken option that tasted very much like "conference food." Other than that, this was the perfect place for a 5-star wedding at a reasonable price. The staff is also very helpful and accommodating.

I will start by stating: I still give the place 3 stars, but my recommendation to anyone who would like to come here is that you should have a LOT of support from your friends and family, and don't expect too much from Coyote Hills. We had both our ceremony and lunch reception at this location. We chose this place for the beautiful setting and the convenience of having a nearby large reception area (with a great view). The main wedding site is gorgeous with the waterfall in the background and the flowers coming into bloom on the gazebo above us. My husband and I said "this is IT". He proposed in front of a waterfall so this setting was absolutely fantastic. At the time of our wedding they have a package that allowed us to bring in an outside vendor to cater our food. The SERVING staff was very friendly and helpful (or at least attempted to be helpful - more on this later), but that was it. The onsite coordinator provided by Coyote Hills was not so organized. She (Michelle) was very difficult to get ahold of, and some of my guests called her "snooty". Her assistant (Ashley) was of more help. Here are SOME of the issues we had to deal with: * They had made a mistake in their accounting process and did not tell us of the mistake until DURING (yes DURING) our reception, and billed us for the difference at that time - We really thought that was in bad form considering it was their mistake and it was the day of the wedding and we are in the middle of our celebration. It would have been better for them to have contacted us the day before so that we can make arrangements instead of being surprised by it. We had finalized everything WEEKS IN ADVANCE and so they should have known of any discrepancies by then. If they had BARELY realized it THE DAY OF the wedding event I think that they are the ones who should be responsible for their mistake. * We had our rehearsal scheduled for Thursday the 23rd. They said Friday (day before wedding) was unavailable, and we worked out our schedule so that we can do other preparations on the Friday. We made this arrangement with them early January. However, (after we had already sent out invitations (so our bridal party and Godparents can take time off work or make class arrangements) and made restaurant reservations, they called us on Monday the 13th to tell us that we needed to move our rehearsal to Friday because they had overlooked that they had a meeting on that Thursday. After some discussion we ended up only having to move our timing a little bit, but was able to keep our day. * It was also difficult arranging our food tasting (and this was only for appetizers. We called several times to make an appointment. Eventually, with less than a month before the big day, we had to resort to crashing someone else's food tasting and going to a bride show to taste the food. The appetizers are tasty. * They only gave us about an hour or two to set up for our reception, and even though everything did end up coming together really well for our wedding and reception, it was mostly due to the help of my friends and family. The serving staff tried to help us, but was told to NOT help us by the onsite co-ordinator even though they saw that we were struggling to keep on time, and all they were trying to do was help arrange tables and chairs. I gave the 3 stars because MOST of the people

I had my wedding at Coyote Hills. It is a beautiful location! However, booking the venue on of the deal breakers was the foutain they had, which didn't work on my wedding day for some reason. We did however have a beautiful waterfall behind us, which was quite noisy. The audience may have heard us if the microphone was turned on. Other than those minor things, the location itself was amazing! and our vow's were amazing even if we were the only ones that could hear them.

I love my pictures from my location - it's gorgeous. But, the coordinators at this location make me not want to recommend it. First, in the year that I booked the venue I probably worked with 5 different coordinators. None of them were overly helpful and then on my wedding day the place was not set-up at all. My family was left running around trying to get everything set-up while guests were arriving. On top of that one of the coordinators argued with me because I asked for 10 extra minutes to complete pictures with my husband and me prior to getting the reception started. If you're up for the extra work, this location is great. Just be prepared to really have to do everything for the wedding.

I had been looking and looking around for a venue that made me say "AWWW This is IT!" And Coyote Hills Golf Club was the very place. I got married out side there is this beautiful waterfall in the background and while your out there you can hear the water falling! It is just Amazing! Then we went inside to their main hall for the reception. I highly recommend this venue. The coordinator Jessica was beyond helpful and super nice! She and the rest of their staff went above and beyond.

I read reviews often when choosing services so I felt I must write this review to possibly help another family out if thinking of using this venue.
First I must say that Coyote Hills ceremony site is beautiful and this is why we picked it. Fantastic space with waterfall and greenery. But that is where it ends.
The reception room is old and dated. We were told before we agreed to have the event there that there would be new carpet installed by the end of the previous month, but by the time our event came, no new carpet and the existing carpet is worn and stained. The windows have not been cleaned in a while and show it, so at sunset you can only imagine the look. The three catering people who are there to help you out do not seem to talk to each other and I was constantly asked the same questions by all of them. The event manager never greeted my daughter and would not help out with small but important tasks such as bringing the flowers to the bride so she would not have to go past guests to get downstairs to the dressing room where they were located, she claimed this was a florist job. Are you kidding? This was a yet again another task they agreed to do during negociations, but would not do when the time came. Also, be aware of the upcharges and the wrong pricing. They charge $100 extra to set out water bottles and other items at the ceremony site, and wanted to charge $200 to take out all the small, outdated lunch tables and chairs from the bar area so there could be a cocktail hour for 100+ guests. Who does that? I entered the bar during cocktail hour to find no hot hors'doerves left, and just as they were asking everyone to enter for dinner, the wait staff finally brought out more. What a waste. If you choose to have your event hear have someone in charge of the cocktail hour to make sure you get everything you ordered. Plates were piled up everywhere and there was nobody picking up the used plates, Yuk! The food and beverage manager got very rude when I voiced my opinion of the cocktail hour service. Also, he earlier volunteered to put a cart away that had some extra reception items on it, but he never did and we had to do it as people were entering. This was the first time I had to tell him who I was, because no one ever introduced him prior to the event. We also had to constantly tell the waiters to put the lighting down and had to remind them to light all the candles on the tables. We had to tell them more than once because they would not light them all.
The food was fine, typical wedding food, but warm and tasty. They were not able to give us a beef and chicken plate for a resonable price like most venues in the area, so we had a choice of chicken or beef.
I have been to many venues in the area and even planned my own wedding, and I am sorry to say that this venue is not a friendly place and the catering staff does not seem to enjoy their jobs. We first me with Selena who is a relatively new to the catering department and she was great, but the other two never smile which is sad when you are planning a fun event like a wedding. This place was picked for the outdoor ceremony site, the presented reception plans and because of availability, but I would never recommend this venue. What was presented in the beginning was not what we got in the end. They seem to forget that this is a service industry and their clients should be treated with respect. Many venues offer much better deals out there...please choose wisely.

The venue is gorgeous, beautiful, gives a timeless feeling, and was a perfect size for our 120 guests. The meal was wonderful and our guests had an overall wonderful time. But...they changed the wedding management crew 3 times in the year that we booked them and so there were a lot of problems with promises made and then abandoned when that person left. We ran out of appetizers just about instantly (apparently there was a miscommunication with the kitchen to not bring any more out and the on-sight coordinator couldn't be bothered to check it out herself). I had a friend helping set up the tables for the table numbers and some mason jars, and that's all she was meant to do. Apparently the coordinator gave her the favors and everything else THEY were meant to set up and then stood around while she ran around like crazy. The only thing my friend didn't do where the table settings themselves. My father had to do quite a bit of running around himself to find the coordinators to get tables where they were supposed to have already be set up, as well as find the promised golf carts to take guests over to the ceremony site. One of our guest tables were also placed around a corner so half of the table couldn't see anything past this wall. It was beautiful and I had a great time the day of, but the amount of things gone wrong that I heard in the weeks after makes me very frustrated.

We got married about a month ago and everything went very smoothly! The service was very good, and they were very accomoding and addressed all of our needs and concerns. Our guests were very happy with the cocktail hour and said that there was plenty of food being passed around at all times and it was very tasty (this was one of my big concerns). The same thing went for dinner, each course was out in a timely manner and tasted very good. The food and beverage director Dan is a huge asset to Coyote Hills. He is so nice and helped with everything throughout the night. The scenery is gorgeous, our pictures came out beautiful because of the waterfall behind the ceremony site and since the wedding was in the evening there was a very romantic feel to the reception due to the windows, lighting, and scenery. We are very glad that we decided to go with Coyote Hills!

The venue for the ceremony site as well as reception is beautiful. My main complaint is that they do not reserve rows in the front of the ceremony for family that is up to you which caused some confusion. Also we were told there would be crackers with our cheese display and there were not. They also did not put our seating chart sign in front of the entrance to the reception site so that created more confusion. Basically you need someone directing the event because other than tell you when it is time for you to go down the aisle you will not see them at all.

I loved that the reception venue was able to accomodate a ceremony as well. The country/ golf club was a great location for guests. The grounds were beautiful and well kept. I enjoyed that the price of the reception included our menu, bar, cake, table centerpeices, linens, and setup (which meant that I didn't have to spend the time doing everything myself). I also appreciated the golf club holding a night for vendors (dj's, photogs, wine people, etc...) to display their skills and promote their businesses. It allowed couples to see a variety of options all in one evening.;I wouldn't warn anyone about the actual venue... just make sure you have someone knowledgable and compassionate organizing and supervising the event accordingly. My husband and I plan to visit soon and order the dinner we had on our wedding night... it was delish!

What I loved the most about my reception venue was the space the windows and the view. Not only was the dance floor spacey the tables were as well. The view was great even at night so no matter where you took a picture it was a great shot. What I liked the best is the staff. The are absolutely fantastic.;There is nothing I have to say bad about Coyote Hills.
