The grounds are beautifully manicured, staff members are incredibly friendly, and clubhouse has an upscale feel minus a stuffy, “snobby” atmosphere. For cocktail hour, you can utilize either their rooftop deck or Jones room. We decided on the Jones room (indoor space with AC) leading out to a large outdoor deck. We invited 190 guests and ended up with 160 which was perfect. The ballroom is very spacious and could have easily accommodated over 200! When touring other venues, it became clear that many advertise an ability to “accommodate" way more guests than most would consider “comfortable.” Our guests are still raving about the food. The filets & chicken were cooked to perfection. Passed hor d’oeuvres, salads, sides, and dessert were all phenomenal. The food far exceeded our expectations right down to the late night pizza which was included in the package we chose. I genuinely cannot say enough about our event manager, Elisa. She was an absolute pleasure to work with every step of the way. Elisa was incredibly professional, informative, organized, and friendly. She responded to all of our inquiries in a timely manner, maintained flawless communication with our vendors, and was so kind to us. My mother fractured her leg a few months prior to our wedding landing her in a wheelchair for weeks. Elisa graciously included her in everything as we toured, tasted, and viewed the space to visualize décor. That may seem trivial but the patience, upbeat spirit, and warmth exhibited by the Ferncroft’s staff in accommodating mom made all the difference in the world to us. Alli K. was an absolutely gem as well. She assisted Elisa leading up to our event, worked diligently behind the scenes to facilitate details, and was a comforting presence the day-of. Alli is an organized, personable, caring professional. She went above and beyond to ensure that all of our questions were answered, things ran smoothly, and our experience was a positive one. The entire staff was incredible right “down” to the bartender Sue who was friendly, funny yet professional, and exceptionally kind. She went out of her to make us feel welcome and taken care of. Sue personally introduced herself to us in the parking lot as we were leaving the grounds one day. She took the time to ask us when our event was, what our favorite drinks were, if we wanted to include a signature drink (gave us recommendations), etc. Sue is a true asset to the Ferncroft staff. There is a DoubleTree Hotel 1 mile from the club. The hotel was clean, reasonably priced, and has bar spaces for an after party. We had a church ceremony and booked a room block there. By coordinating times, using a nearby church, offering convenient accommodations, and providing a shuttle, our wedding wasn’t one of those drawn out, all-day long affairs. You know the suburban ones requiring lengthy drives with hours spent killing time at random bars in between ceremonies and receptions? If you want to have your ceremony off site and have guests coming from out of town, it is totally doable.If you are debating whether or not to book your
wedding at the Ferncroft Country Club, here is my advice to you: just do it! The Ferncroft Country Club offers an elegant yet comfortable and spacious venue. It's finally manicured grounds, gorgeous flowers, deck spaces, and luscious greens offer a perfect backdrop. Tack on exceptional cuisine, an affordable price point that doesn’t require sacrificing quality, and a 5-star staff.
