Gainey Ranch Golf Club

Our wedding at Gainey Ranch was a dream! We were looking for a place that had it all in one place - ceremony/cocktail/reception. Lauren was wonderful from the beginning. The event space is beautiful. Compared to similar style places that we toured, Gainey Ranch had better prices. We are so happy we chose Gainey Ranch for our wedding and would highly recommend them!

Gainey Ranch Golf Club is such a wonderful wedding venue! I'm a corporate event planner with a lot of points for comparison, and I could not be happier with my choice. Lauren Ogle was such a great partner in the planning process. She made everything so easy and was always very responsive. Lauren makes a point to understand the priorities of each of her couples and does a great job at helping bring the vision to life. Several of my other vendors were referrals from Gainey Ranch Golf Club, and I have to say they work with some great people. Everything ran so smoothly on wedding day. The food was delicious and the service was on point. The staff did a great job of taking care of us specifically, and they never missed a beat.

Great venue, great location with great pricing. They have several colors of linen to choose from, rose petals for the aisle, white chairs for ceremony and silver/grey chairs for reception. You can always upgrade from this too. This venue has beautiful views of the golf course, desert and the mountains-you get to choose what view you want for the ceremony - Gainey Ranch area is my favorite part of town. We had the ceremony outside with reception inside. Lauren was great to work with. Quick at responding to questions, flexible, professional, friendly, and laidback. The food (we had buffet) was delicious!! Employees were welcoming and attentive. All of our friends and family raved about the food and venue. We knew this was our location once we looked at it and met with Lauren. Thank you for making our day so wonderful!

Lauren and her team are hands down the most wonderful group of people I have ever met throughout my entire wedding planning process. First Impressions: My (now) husband and I first met Lauren after a terrible experience at a hotel venue. We were SET but the staff at that venue were horribly rude and inflexible with any simple request. We were heart broken and back to square one. I decided to scan the Knot for non-hotel options... you know, just to see. Gainey Ranch Golf Club was the third venue we visited and we instantly knew it was for us. We walked up through a gorgeous fountain and pond; and Will & I were greeted with a smile. Lauren was cheerful, upbeat, welcoming and did not seem to mind the probably way too long Q&A. We were in love! Fast forward a few months & over a year before the wedding: Lauren was more than eager to meet and discuss our linens - even though it was probably way too early to look at anything by typical industry standard timeline... Lauren then sent me the information for her linen girl at BBJ Linens and helped me finalize all the beautiful linen details by surprising me with napkins that matched the bridesmaids' dresses perfectly. Next, she invited us to a preferred vendor event where we met with and chose our amazing wedding planner, Stylish Events by Lisa Foster. (Spoiler alert: Lauren & Lisa are rockstars together and created my Pinterest vision perfectly!) Shortly after, we brought our family in for a showing. Lauren & her staff were just as friendly to our parents. She welcomed everyone with the same enthusiasm as she initially greeted Will & I with and was always her bubbly-self. The middle months were less consumed with in person meetings and involved probably hundreds of emails. We would email Lauren about everything -- switching our wine choices, changing our chicken option, changing our room set up, inquiring about Serbian traditions, where to take our photographs, our photographer issues, who to use for transportation to/from the venue and preferred hotel... dozens of things! Lauren always was quick to respond, efficient in her answers and friendly as can be! Even though you rationally know that she has hundreds of emails pouring in per day by dozens of brides and other event staff, she always made you feel like she spent hours on your response, was perfectly thorough and eager to help. Working with Lauren was a complete 180 from our original hotel venue -- and for the better!! She was beyond accommodating! Food & Drinks: I will be honest, I've never had better salmon. The food was phenomenal! Our guests RAVED over the dishes and the drinks. Everything was delicious and everyone was pleased with our event & signature drinks. We were also very happy with the wine selection in the top bar package. Extras: When you book at Gainey Ranch Golf Club, you are provided a cake with their NEW preferred vendor, Pixy Cakes. Tina at Pixy Cakes was amazing to work with. She went above and beyond for our tasting and allowed us to sample more than usual. Her cake was delicious and everyone raved about it afterwards! She was also a detail master and our modern-themed all white cake looked perfect! All in all, Lauren and her team made our day perfection. I could not have found a more easy-going woman to work with. She was a detail queen and tolerated my overly type-A excel spreadsheets. If there is ever a need for an event, I will highly consider GRGC again in the future! Thank you!

Our wedding was a dream come true, Lauren and Casey where amazing and always making sure we had what we needed. We are couldn’t have chosen a better venue for our wedding everything was absolutely perfect the food was amazing and everyone was so nice. Thank you for making our day so special and stress free Forever grateful John-Paul & Karen Willett

Lauren Ogle and her team are extremely easy to work with, prompt, sweet, and professional. Throughout the year-long planning process, my family, fiance, and I had only positive interactions with the staff at Gainey Ranch Golf Club. The club's beautiful setting and absolutely delicious food made for a fabulous wedding reception.

After my husband and I looked at 14 venues across the valley, we came across Gainey and fell in love! I can't say enough wonderful things about Gainey Ranch Golf Club & especially about Lauren Ogle, their private events director! Lauren and her team went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect! Lauren was prompt in answering emails and phone calls, which made planning and budgeting go smoothly. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how Gainey had such a beautiful ceremony and reception space. The rose petals and arch are perfect for an outdoor ceremony. The food was delicious!!! We did ours buffet style and the servers were attentive to all of the guests. Our guests with food allergies/restrictions couldn't stop talking about how amazing the vegan and vegetarian options were! I absolutely love Gainey Ranch and would highly recommend it for your wedding venue!

The food was absolutely delicious! Nice presentation and very ample portions. Great setting.

We looked at 14 different venues and Gainey was always the best choice for us. Lauren is outstanding!! She helped us every step of the way and everyone was so kind and gracious. The venue itself is beautiful! My wedding was in December and everything was so green. All of our guests loved Gainey but we got the most compliments on the food. It was delicious!! If I had to do it all over again I would still choose Gainey.

Gainey Ranch Golf Club was the perfect place to have our wedding. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and provides a wonderful backdrop for pictures. But what makes Gainey truly special is the staff and the service they provide. Lauren, the director of private events, was a pleasure to work with. She was always so responsive and patient in answering my many questions. We've received so many compliments on the food from our wedding - everything was delicious and the staff working the wedding were very professional. Thank you to Lauren and everyone at Gainey for making our day unforgettable.

Gainey ranch golf club was such an amazing wedding venue. We loved our entire experience but Lauren was the best. We worked with her for over a year and she goes above and beyond. We looked at so many venues and Lauren pretty much sealed the deal for us. We had the best day ever and highly recommend this venue.

My husband, Aubry, and I are from Chicago, and our wedding was this past weekend at Gainey Ranch Golf Club. We had the most amazing experience with this venue! Because we're from out of town, a lot of the planning and communication was done through email. Lauren made the process so easy and enjoyable by being prompt and detailed in her responses. When we were in town for our menu tasting and final walk-thru, it was like visiting with a friend, and we truly enjoyed her company. We held both our ceremony and reception at Gainey, and the evening was just magical. If you have a certain vision for your wedding, you can rest assure that Gainey can pull it off with all that they are able to offer and the amazing relationships they have with local vendors. Almost all of our guests were from out of town, and they continue to rave about how beautiful our wedding was. Our photographer was able to find great spots for photos, even during the brightest times of the day. Gainey is also able to accommodate a sparkler exit, which makes for a memorable ending. As you can see, we can go on and on on why we would continue to pick Gainey if we had a chance to do it all over again. Thank you to Lauren and the rest of the staff for our dream wedding and the seamless planning that went to it! We have enough memories to last us a lifetime.

I can't say enough good things about Gainey Ranch and Lauren Ogle! This place and the people were fantastic! My husband and I orginally had our wedding planned at a different venue but after a horrible 3 months of planning we were on the search for a new venue. Dealing with wedding stress and switching to Gainey Ranch Golf Club was defintiely a blessing in disguise. When we first met with Lauren you could tell how much she loves her job. She is ethusiastic, super responsive and detail oriented. I sent her many emails and she always responded within a timely manner and never seemed annoyed by my multiple questions. She was honest and upfront about everything. She always made me feel like my wedding was a priority, which is very important when you are planning the wedding of your dreams. When I walked into the reception room, I was amazed by how beautiful everything was. The rest of the staff was also great. All of the servers and the bar tender were very friendly and accomodating. The golf team made sure that my husband and his buddies enjoyed their round of golf and everything was set up smoothly. I also received numerous compliments on the food. I was a little worried about how the steaks were going to be cooked but they came out perfect! It was a memorable night and I can't thank Gainey and Lauren enough!

Lauren Ogle, the Private Events Director, was one of the main reasons we chose Gainey Ranch Golf Club for our daughter's wedding. She went above and beyond in assisting with the planning. While Gainey Ranch was not the least expensive, they were not the most as well. The open house proved valuable in assisting with obtaining outstanding vendors. The ballroom was magical, the food outstanding and the service impeccable.

I can't say enough wonderful things about Gainey Ranch Golf Club & especially about Lauren Ogle, their private events director! Gainey Ranch was the PERFECT venue for our wedding and Lauren and her team went above and beyond to make everything exactly how we wanted! Lauren is the most responsive person I've ever worked with, always quick to answer, helpful and happy. We planned our Arizona wedding from Texas, and I am so grateful for Lauren's willingness to work with us from a distance. Lauren always went above and beyond -- one perfect example (although there are MANY), was when my husband and I were having trouble choosing our appetizers, Lauren threw one extra in for us for free. We also used Gainey's preferred vendor list to find most of our vendors, all of whom were also wonderful. The food at Gainey is phenomenal, the venue is absolutely gorgeous, all the support staff are great -- I genuinely only have good things to say! I would recommend this venue to anyone!!

Gainey Ranch Golf Club was such a beautiful spot for our wedding! The course views, waterfall and ballroom were exactly what we had in mind when we started planning. Not to mention that Lauren, the event coordinator there was so helpful with everything and any questions we had. Between her and our other vendors there was no need for us to hire a separate wedding coordinator. I also love that the wedding packages at Gainey included all the set-up, food, cake, bar, linens, etc. which made planning so much easier for us. We even used the DJ and Florist from Gainey's preferred vendor list and they were just as amazing! Also, the proximity to the Hyatt next door saved us from spending anything on transportation and was an excellent place to get ready and take additional photos. I also felt like the pricing at Gainey was very reasonable compared to other venues we had inquired. I couldn't say enough great things about Gainey and their staff!

We had our wedding here on October 1, 2016 and had the best experience ever. We worked with Lauren Ogle, the Events/Wedding Coordinator and she was FANTASTIC - extremely detail oriented and very kind and professional. When I saw the ballroom set up on my wedding day I had tears in my eyes because it was everything I had imagined plus more thanks to Lauren and the Gainey staff. The chef and staff for the food/serving was amazing, too. The guests ranted and raved about the quality of food (both apps & entrees) saying it was some of the best food they've had at a wedding. The grounds are kept up consistently and looked very pretty on our wedding day. I would highly recommend having your wedding here. My husband and I are so glad we did!

Gainey Ranch Golf Club is a beautiful setting. The food was fantastic, and the prices reasonable. The cake is included as part of the package. The one problem was the wedding coordinator provided by the venue. She did not return emails or phone calls in a timely fashion, did not put place cards in the right place, and lost some items I had provided for the wedding.

We had a wonderful wedding with Gainey Ranch! Unfortunately our wonderful wedding coordinator went for a new job opportunity before the wedding but Karen did a wonderful job catching up with the details and helping us out. Food was great, service was great, and the venue was a perfect size!

Our food was fantastic. Everything else was so so. The changing room for the girls was tiny. They nickel and dime you on the bar. The 2 event coordinators can't get their stories straight on prices, etc. The best thing about this place was their vendor list. For the money we spent on the venue, we should have gone somewhere else.

We feel that our wedding was in the perfect place at the perfect moment! The weather couldn't have been better. The room was set up so nicely and everyone had room to dance and move about. The food was AMAZING!

We married at the waterfall site, and it was just beautiful! Karen Krinsky, the onsite coordinator, was very easy to work with. Her calm, friendly demeanor, coupled with her years of experience in the industry, really helps the wedding planning go more smoothly. I have zero regrets about picking this beautiful site and having the opportunity to work with Karen.

I actually would give them 6 out of 5 stars on service. I LOVED working with Jaime and Karen at Gainey. They were so accomidating. No matter how many times I called or e-mailed to bug them about something, they always made time to cater to me. The set up of the room was perfect. Everything ran smoothly, from grand entrance to dessert table. The best part is how my guests raved about the food and cake. My day was PERFECT because of the staff at Gainey Ranch!!!

Every one at Gainey is so helpful and amazing! We worked with Jamie and she is so sweet and hard working. It ended up raining (pouring) on our wedding day and we had to move the ceremony indoors. I was SO surprised at how amazing they made the ballroom look and then how fast they flipped it to accomodate our reception. The food was delicious and they were very attentive to our 200+ guests. I would definitely recommend Gainey to anyone who asked.
