Granite Bay Golf Club

s of experience and it shows! She was such a gem for all of our wedding questions and especially the logistics questions. She listened to us, and catered to our needs the majority of the time, and when she couldn't, it was typically for good reason and she provided alternate suggestions. On the day of, she was superwoman ON TOP OF EVERYTHING for us. She was especially good at keeping us (and our vendors!) on track while still managing to give us the space to take everything all in. The venue itself is great but has some potential cons depending what you are looking for (see below), but Kelle absolutely makes up for any/all of them by being so phenomenal. It felt so personalized working with her (how many wedding coordinators do you know that will recognize your parents, whom she had only met a few times, in a Costco and say hi to them, months after your wedding??) and she seemed genuinely excited for us on our wedding day. As for the venue, we loved the look of the golf course vibe (we didn't want phone lines and random commercial buildings in our photos!) and GBGC delivered! They have stunning areas to have your couples photos taken at. The ability to not have to do the majority of the set-up and tear-down was so nice, the staff took care of it for us. The food was absolutely delicious and the chef was kind enough to customize certain menu items to our preferences, as well as accommodate for our vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free guests. Pros: attentive staff, experienced day-of-coordinator Kelle, delicious food menu, beautiful golf course views during cocktail hour, easy access from parking lot to ceremony to reception, capable to accommodate large weddings (up to 250 guests), unique wide arch at ceremony site, reasonable meal costs compared to other golf course venues, beautiful areas to take photos in post-ceremony Cons: drone footage of the ceremony site will have the parking lot in majority of shot due to parking lot backing up the ceremony, you can't do hair/makeup at the venue/in the getting ready rooms, there is a mandatory food and beverage minimum, appetizer to guest ratio is only 1:1 (so with 3 appetizer types, that's three per person, and that can go fast), one set of bathrooms (only a concern with larger wedding sizes), dance floor is on the smaller side if you have a large guest count

t to her.

here to go. People loved the family style food and how beautiful the venue was. I loved the venue layout and how close together everything was. I joke to my husband all the time that we should just have another wedding...and if he were to say okay, we would definitely have it at Granite Bay Golf Club! :)

Also, the food was so great! I am still getting compliments on everything about our wedding and I owe it all to Kelle and the club!

rience Kelle had with Indian weddings. That was one of my concerns going in. I had done some research and we had visited other sites but we didn't get the same feel from the others as we did with this venue. The moment I met Kelle, we connected right from the start & that was a huge factor for us when choosing our venue. We both wanted someone who we felt would genuinely be there for us from beginning to end. Talking to Kelle was like talking to that one friend you haven’t spoken to in awhile but when you did, the conversation started right back where you left off. The restaurant staff were also so sweet whenever we would come out for our meetings. Very hospitable & kind. It made us feel comfortable & appreciated anytime we were on site visiting. Kelle made our planning process seem pretty seamless & her honesty throughout the journey was refreshing. She has ample amount of experience & knowledge in this industry & it shows in her work. I had a vision for my wedding and I wasn't budging. I added & changed things throughout the process but Kelle remained positive & didn't show any frustrations or negativity no matter what challenge came our way. Whenever I'd reach out with concerns, I'd get detailed responses. She promised to make our day so special & she stuck to her promise. Unfortunately, two days before our Wedding day, we were informed Kelle was unable to be at our Wedding due to Covid. Although we were understandable & felt terrible for her, I was heartbroken. It was like being told that your best friend wasn’t coming to your wedding. We were told Ryan would be taking her place & there was nothing to worry about. Of course we were still a little stressed because it was our big day and we hadn't met Ryan. When we did have a meeting with him, all our worries & concerns were out the door. He was the sweetest & was basically the guy version of Kelle. He was prepared & knew all he needed to know about our Wedding. Funny thing is, Ryan looks like Lance Bass & we were not the only ones that noticed. Just don’t mention that part to him if you have the pleasure of meeting him haha. We found out later that our Wedding day was also Ryan’s 10 year wedding anniversary. Of course we felt bad he had to be away from his wife on their anniversary but it really showed his dedication & commitment. We asked him to have at least one drink with us that night to celebrate. There were a few tweaks from our wedding that could have been changed. But our wedding day was the best day ever. Especially with the last minute changes of our coordinator. Ryan & his staff were very attentive the day of & he always made sure there was a drink in all our hands. What more could you ask for? Our wedding party also enjoyed their time spent with him. We are so thankful for Ryan, Kelle, & their staff on doing such an amazing job with all their hard work. We had the pleasure of working with great vendors. Everyday I wish I could live this day & we cannot stop talking it. We are extremely happy that we got married here & couldn't imagine getting married anywhere else. We continue to receive many compliments about our Wedding/Venue, which makes my husband & I feel even better about our choice of getting married here.

cerns, right down to the one guest that had very specific food allergies. The staff was professional and efficient. They kept our guests happy and our wedding/reception running on schedule. Granite Bay Golf Club runs like a well oiled machine, even during a global pandemic. We had to postpone our celebration twice and Kelle was so understanding and flexible. She helped us navigate the chaos with patience and good humor. It was a little hard coordinating communications at times since we were planning on the weekends and typically Kelle was very busy on weekends and off early in the week, but by the time the big day came, we realized we had absolutely NOTHING to worry about. Everyone had a wonderful time, the food was DELICIOUS (the guests agreed) and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day!

area but GBGC by far was our top pick. Not only is it a beautiful venue but the staff are so organized and welcoming (special shout-out to Kelle & Ryan!), the prices were reasonable, the food was phenomenal, and the overall experience was stress-free. They were also able to accommodate our unique request of having a build-your-own Mimosa Bar for our cocktail hour and a brunch buffet as our dinner. I highly recommend this venue to any couple!

the first time. If you’re planning a wedding-large or small-this is a worry-free venue.

elpful, attentive, and detail oriented and really went out of her way to be flexible and make sure my day was special. The venue itself was absolutely gorgeous, the food was delicious, and the service was exceptional. Everything was so well coordinated and panned out smoothly!

ur plans come together, even in the middle of the toughest year we've experienced. We were able to move forward with our special day. Love, Mr. & Mrs. Smith

extra cost but brought extraordinary YUM. Indeed, GBGC made our dream wedding possible at rather reasonable rates - more moolah for our Maui honeymoon!

ok me and my wife (now) under her wing, and saved our wedding. She was really flexible with everything! What was shocking, she was able to transfer all our vendors from the other venue to hers, because she knew everyone. She is like the E-40 of event coordinator's. She was there from the start, and she was there from the day of the wedding. She kept everything on time, like a wedding planner would do. Her staff was AMAZING too! They were on top of helping out the guest, and cleaning. If there was a mess on the dance floor, they would block the area off till it's cleaned up. Also they were really good with keeping up with the Covid standards too! Me and my Wife overall was so happy of the outcome. We thought it was a blessing to have one venue cancel us, and this one to pick us up. We have so much good things to say about this place. But overall, Kelle is an honest and great person, and will give her 2¢ if she need to. This review is why I giver this place 5 out of 5 rating.

ious. The bridal & groom dressing rooms were perfect for the whole party. The rehearsal went smooth & helped prepare everyone for the big day. Very creative and accommodating for a pandemic wedding. Staff wore masks at all times and kept everything clean and sanitized. My wedding was better than I expected all because of Kelle & the wonderful staff.

eemed impossible but Kelle and her team took every precaution to make our wedding both safe and welcoming for our guests. Including: -Providing updates consistent with the changes in state and county restrictions -Spacing out seating for both the ceremony and reception -Bringing in 2 giant, 4 foot wide fans to both blow In fresh air and move air around -All the staff wore masks but you could still see their smiling faces Being the groom I wasn’t nearly as involved as the bride in the planning phase. Only in hindsight do I wish that we signed up with Granite Bay Country Club from the very beginning. It would have saved us a lot of time and headache because in Kelle we had a partner guiding us through every step of the process. Seeing Kelle operate on the day of the wedding was like watching a world class chef operate effortlessly in the kitchen; a real professional. She was always several steps ahead. That allowed my wife and myself to focus on spending quality time with family and friends. Thank you so much

hly and our wedding was better then we ever imagined it could be. The venue is a gorgeous place and we can’t wait to see our wedding pictures. I would recommend this venue to any couple planning a wedding!

professionalism and diligence of the staff and just how beautiful this venue and the surrounding area are. Could not recommend this place more!

r, and Granite Bay Golf Club was our first stop. After touring their amazing facility and beautiful grounds we had our hearts set on having our wedding there… then we met Kelle, and the rest was history (we never even went to look at any other venue locations)! Kelle’s passion and pure joy in wedding coordinating sold my fiancé, my parents, and I on having our wedding at the Granite Bay Golf Club. And our love for Kelle only grew from there! Kelle made me feel like I was the only bride she was working with. She listened to all of my crazy ideas, let me share my overly organized wedding planning binder, and answered all my questions with open arms. My husband had only 2 requests for our wedding: #1 His favorite beer (which Granite Bay Golf Club special ordered on tap for us), and #2 Bacon on his salad, and Kelle made it happen! She made wedding planning fun and helped bring all of my dream wedding ideas to life! Kelle’s expertise in running a wedding rehearsal was astonishing as well, she runs a well-oiled machine which made for a flawless wedding day. Not only did Kelle even wear a dress that matched our wedding color scheme on our wedding day, she helped make EVERYTHING absolutely perfect for my husband and I, including helping put my veil on which wouldn’t stay in place. Thank you Kelle for everything you did for my husband and I on our wedding day! We are forever thankful for you (and Kendall too!) We can’t thank the Granite Bay Golf Club enough for making our wedding not only run smoothly, but made my husband and I feel like we were celebrities all day long. Our wedding was absolutely perfect in each and every way. All the staff there were extremely professional, helpful, and so kind. The food was mouth-watering delicious, the photography locations are breathtaking, and to top it off the prices were just right! If you are looking for a picture-perfect venue that comes with 2 amazing wedding coordinators (Kelle and Kendall), then the Granite Bay Golf Club is the wedding venue for you! We would give them a 10/10!

soon as we met with her we knew this is where we wanted to host our wedding ceremony and reception. Not only is the venue gorgeous but the options for food, beverage and set up is extremely flexible yet they manage and organize EVERYTHING. I never felt stressed or overwhelmed because I trusted Kelle so much and she truly was on top of everything, not only was the process easy and exciting but the rehearsal and day of was so well planned and organized. The staff was attentive to each and every one of us, the kind of service and experience our guests are still talking about a month later. If I could do this all over again I would pick this venue in a heartbeat, the pictures turned out beautiful, the food is AMAZING and the garden where we exchanged our vows was perfect. If you are looking for an incredible wedding venue to meet all of our visions this is the place for you. Thank you Kelle and Granite Bay Country Club!

etty awesome and great at understanding your vision and helping to make it happen. The communication and response time was an issue for me and there were a few times I felt like I was being ignored. The event went as planned and nothing was missed but I think that maybe Kelle needs an assistant or help of some sort to ensure that clients never feel that way. I would still definitely recommend them as a venue and the value is so worth the hiccups I had.

d guidance as we celebrated our big day!! The venue was the perfect size for our celebration of about 140 guests. I thought the dance floor would be too small at first but I was wrong it was great for the celebration and we had a lot of fun!! We got tons of compliments on the venue and food from guests!
