Hunt Valley Country Club

ow beautiful the venue was and how great the food tasted. Katie was an exceptional wedding coordinator. She kept all of our vendors on the same page and kept everyone to a schedule on the wedding day. We didn't have to do anything except enjoy our day. Katie and her staff even set up all decorations and favors which allowed my bride and I to get ready and not stress about making everything perfect at the venue. Katie gave us the ability to be flexible with our wedding package and even catered to the food allergies of our guests. HVGC was definitely the best bang for our buck and the most beautiful venue we found!! It had everything included and we were able to customize our day to make it perfect!! I HIGHLY recommend this venue to all future brides...you won't regret it!!

of the window views we had the leaves changing color and the perfect sunset. We got married October 24th and our family and friends are still talking about how perfect everything was. Katie made my day so flawless from placing everything, organizing it to making sure that my husband and I had the perfect day. As we were planning the wedding she was very responsive to all of my questions and was helpful and made my process go smoothly. Our wedding was the dream wedding I always wanted and I am so thankful for the venue, location, the food, the family and friends all thanks to the smooth planning that Katie did to make my day everything I wanted!!

r our big day, HVGC was excellent. Obviously, being the bride, I felt like I had lots of attention from the staff on my wedding day - but come to find out, everyone felt like they had lots of attention from the staff. The food kept coming at the cocktail hour and people felt like the wait staff was attentive. I have received tons of compliments on the food and view. Obviously, no wedding is perfect - so here are some things I think I would change - apparently, at the cocktail hour, instead of opening up the inside bar and outside bar, only the outside bar was open, and the line was a bit long (we had almost maximum capacity, in all fairness). We paid extra to keep the outside bar open the whole night - so there was def. three bartenders around - not sure why the inside bar wouldn't be open to? I never liked the carpet inside the reception room – but when you have that beautiful view – you can get over the carpet. What I loved most about HVGC was working with Katie Stephens – she was organized, kept my vendors in check, and made sure I wasn’t bothered by anything on our day. She always answered any questions I had and was open and honest about the venue the whole time. I never felt like she said something to get us to book there that wasn’t true – you can really appreciate that because there are so many decisions going on for a wedding that you want your vendors to be upfront and honest – and she always was. Why did we pick HVGC? The view for sure, but it was also the packages – they were lovely. Compared to other places around Maryland, I felt like we got a lot of bang for our buck – from the appetizers to the premium bar– all very easy to pick and more than what we ever expected to have (our guests were def. impressed with the choices at the bar). I wanted an in-house caterer (because why mess with an additional vendor if you don’t have to?), and HVGC was just perfect for us. I would def. recommend you checking HVGC when looking for a lovely wedding location. We were thrilled!

e had both our ceremony and reception here. Katie and her assistant Amanda did an amazing (theme here?? : D ) job transforming the room into such a beautiful space! The food was so delicious and we received nothing but compliments on the appetizers and main course! The bar staff were on point with drinks and there was never a wait for drinks! The views are simple stunning! This day was everything we hoped for and MORE which we attribute to Katie and Amanda and all the staff there!

re of everything. She even saved my appearance two times during the big day. The golf club was one of the most beautiful ones I've ever seen. The wedding reception was held in a beautiful room, with a gorgeous bar and balcony. The view from the balcony was amazing, which was right next to where the ceremony was held. The food we picked was great, especially the appetizers which were very popular. The only thing I would say is my meal was a little different between the trial tasting and the wedding, but delicious both times. Because they had followed my instructions so well, everything with the venue really went perfectly. The venue coordinator Katie, the manager Jake, and the golf club itself made my experience awesome! I would totally pick them again if I had to do it all over.

over how the reception would turn out if I wasn't personally there to set things up, the staff did an amazing job! Katie was so helpful through the entire process and was always quick to answer my 1001 questions. All my guests raved about the view and the entire experience. I will definitely use them again for any big or small event!

ion room make the large space seem even larger. We worked directly with Katie Stephens from day one. She was full of energy, professionalism, attentiveness, creativity, and vision through the entire planning process. I knew that she and her staff would set up the room and execute my reception exactly as I had requested. It was beautiful. Furthermore, all of our guests commented about how beautiful the venue was, how great the staff was, and how wonderful the food was. Our guests all said that the appetizers were delicious and then even the meal (which you would think would be difficult to serve 159 plates at the right temperature and flavor), was amazing. We chose to serve filet mignon and rum BBQ shrimp. The presentation on each plate looked like we were eating at a five star restaurant and the flavor of the food felt the same! Katie gave us great recommendations for other vendors that we used to help make our day perfect. We cannot thank Katie and the staff of HVGC enough for all of their hard work and professionalism that helped our wedding to be one of the bests! We would absolutely recommend the HVGC to anyone looking for a wedding venue.

ctacular, the food was delicious, and the staffing/ flow of the event were excellent. We had a large wedding with many of the 150+ guests traveling from out of state, including many picky New York guests, and EVERYONE had nothing but positive things to say about the venue, the food, the service and the whole reception. Not one person had anything to critique. We had a great time and enjoyed every part of the golf club! Katie. their event coordinator, was easy to work with in coordinating planning and very flexible. She made accommodations for some cultural foods my mother in law wanted to bring in, allowed plenty of time for set up, and was happy to help with special requests. If I were to get married again, I would book this same place! I am very picky (and had some even pickier guests!) and Hunt Valley absolutely met all of my standards. The only things that could have been improved would be with the assistants helping Katie and their professionalism. We ended up having pouring rain and no rain plan for pictures, so had to take photos at the reception venue. Hunt Valley was kind enough to let us take pictures, but the assistants helping were quite inexperienced, rude, and kept rushing us from place to place. In addition, we kept getting told to "get out of the way of the members" which was a bit off putting. In Hunt Valley's defense though, the picture taking was not planned and they were kind enough to accommodate our last minute request. In addition, once I requested to not work with the assistants further about timing details they worked with my planner as I requested. Katie was great, the food was very tasty (and they were very flexible), the location was gorgeous, and it was amazing overall!

y, and she was very accommodating with all of my ideas. Our wedding also required a lot of set up, and so we had our rehearsal dinner there the evening before, which allowed our vendors the time to get in and transform the room. We couldn't have asked for better food or views - I mean, really, you can not get a better view indoors than the room at HVGC. Additionally, the proximity of the patio and tent to the main room and dance floor was so convenient and made it really easy for all of our guests to enjoy what they wanted to, while still remaining part of the party. I never want to get married again, but Katie and the staff at HVGC make me wish I could relive our wedding day at LEAST a few more times - what a great day!

is doing and will provide plenty of time and advice for first time brides and grooms. I was never one of those girls that had planned my wedding from the age of 12 and really had no idea what to do when it came to my wedding. I am so glad that we went with HVGC because everything turned out so well, and I had a lot of guidance. We had 75 guests for a Sunday wedding and it was absolutely the best value for everything! You must ask about Friday and Sunday weddings because HVGC does a really good deal and we were on a budget! For just one day of festivities, and having just closed on a house, we did not want to break the bank any more than necessary. The ballroom is beautiful, the only thing I didn't like was the carpet, but I didn't like any of the carpet at all the other venues we looked at either. The only hiccup we had was that one of my bridesmaids had made a video for them to play and I think she may have had it in the wrong format or needed it on a CD or something and so no one got to see it. Also, we did not know that you cannot wear your heels on the greens so prepare for that! Our pictures are turning our wonderfully and everyone said they had a fantastic time! Katie's team made sure that everything was on time and that we had what we needed (we even had the chance to eat!) Our guests are still commenting on how beautiful everything was. I loved that we got a great value and it didn't look cheap! A huge thank you to Katie, her team, and HVGC!

te Stephens is the coordinator and she really worked with us to make our special day PERFECT! She walked us through step by step to ensure we didn't miss anything. I decided to make my own centerpieces and add decorations, along with countless other handmade items; Kate helped me put together all of my decor and centerpieces. She was such a HUGE part in making our day go off without a hitch. Kate left during the reception and had her assistant take over towards the end of the night, and she was just as helpful and professional as Kate. I can't thank them enough for all of their help. All of the guests raved about how tasty the food was, and how beautiful the scenery was at the site. They did an excellent job making us feel like we were their only clients. Our pictures turned out beautifully as we took them out on the golf course, and they will be cherished for years to come. The course is an excellent backdrop to any photo. Thank you so much to all of the staff at HVGC!!! Justin and Sarah Ports :)

with Katie. I still cannot get over how wonderful she was. I’m a bit of a control freak, but I totally trusted Katie to handle everything, which is exactly what she did! We planned our wedding in less than 6 months, and Katie was an enormous help throughout the process. She responded to emails quickly, offered great suggestions, and recommended wonderful vendors. On our wedding day she kept everything running according to schedule, and coordinated all the little details that I would never have thought of. I’m so glad that we decided to have our ceremony and reception at the Hunt Valley Golf Club.

ide to be!!! Thank you Katie and staff for making our wedding everything I dreamed of and more!!'

the staff is so professional. All of me guests couldn't stop complimenting me on my wedding day. Personally, I couldn't imagine planning my wedding with anyone besides Katie. She truly cared about my vision and helped me stay under budget. I felt like she was just as passionate about my wedding as I was. She is the sweetest person and made my day go by perfectly. I was sad when my wedding was over because I no longer got to spend time with her. I encourage you to look at HVGC for your wedding and meet with Katie. I promise you won't regret it!

he food was very good and plentiful. All of our guests loved the view, and our wedding pictures are absolutely beautiful. We highly recommend the Hunt Valley Golf Club for your wedding or next special event.

was so great. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants an indoor/outdoor wedding and reception!

windows which provide the most amazing view of the golf course. I could instantly imagine my reception there and all the great photos that could be taken with the grounds in the background. But what truly sold me on this venue was the wedding coordinator, Katie. Katie made the entire processes from initial planning to the day of the wedding completely fun and exciting and not stressful at all. She is responsive, attentive, more than qualified/capable and just a fun person to plan your wedding with. She contacted all the wedding vendors to confirm delivery/set-up and she set up all the reception decorations for me the day before the wedding. She by far exceeded my expectations. She was honest when you asked her opinion and gave suggestions based on her experience without forcing her opinion on you. The food was great and the staff made sure we kept to the timeline so I didn’t have to worry about any of that the night of the wedding. There wasn’t a flaw in the entire night and my husband and I were able to just enjoy our reception and party with our friends and family. We received so many compliments on the decorations, venue and overall experience from our guests. I can’t thank Katie and the staff at the Hunt Valley Golf club enough for making my wedding day and night truly amazing and unforgettable. :)

the hors'doeuvres. I also would have liked if they would have packed it up for us to take with us since no one ate any of them. Overall I loved this place. Everyone was very nice & easy to work with.

bonus! Katie was great to work with, as she was always quick to respond to calls/emails and offer a helping hand with ANY questions that we had. She is with you throughout the whole process to help pick table linens, your menu, and pretty much help coordinate your day for you with all of your outside vendors. She was flexible with my many changes, was always friendly & upbeat, and she was on top of things the entire time. On the day of the wedding, everything was set up exactly the way I wanted it, the bridal suite was full of drinks and food, and the food for the guests was AMAZING! Katie & the staff at Hunt Valley made the whole day run smoothly, which allowed me to sit back and soak in the best day of my life!

have a copy of your menu because we did not get the food we PAID for the day of the wedding. Also after salads were served it took 1HOUR for the meal to arrive. This takes away time from the reception and other activities that should be going on and following a schedule. When this was brought to the managers attention, he was very rude and disrespectful in the matter. He was claiming that I was "over reacting and embelishing" the issues. When you spend thousands of dollars on your wedding, you want it to be exactly what you were told you were going to get. Please don't make the same mistake that I did and use this venue for your once in a lifetime celebration.

nted on how beautiful the view was and how much they liked the food!

would recommend Hunt Valley to any bride.

ed with Katie Bunce and I cannot tell you how many times I would have lost my mind without her help. She made everything so easy for us! She is the best! The week of our wedding they were calling for rain on our weddind day, and I was freaking out. When I talked to Katie she made sure that we had a plan in place in case it did rain, and assured me that everything would still be amazing, we would just have to move things around a bit. She coordinated with my photographer to set up a "first look" for my husband and I. The day of our wedding after Katie left, Mike was in charge of our reception and I just love him! He made sure I had everything I needed, he let me know where I needed to be and what time, and even pulled an apron out of thin air when I told him I forgot one for our apron dance! He was amazing! The bridal suite was full of drinks and food when we arrived before the ceremony, and after we were married the staff continued to come in to make sure we didn't need anything before the reception. They made our day feel so much more personal that they took the time to pay attention to every detail that I would have never thought of. The staff packed up everything for us so nicely so that my in laws could pick up everything the day after the wedding. Everyone told me prior to the wedding that something would go wrong inevitably, and not to let it ruin our day. But, NOTHING WENT WRONG! It didn't rain a single drop and everything was set up just how I imagined! Our day was beyond perfect, and I know I owe a lot of that to Katie, Mike, and the staff at The Hunt Valley Golf Club. I cannot thank them enough for everything that they did, they are an incredible venue and I would not have changed a thing!!!

ood at helping you make decisions because she's direct and knows what looks good, etc. Mike, the banquet manager, is very professional and friendly. The room set-up looked amazing. Decent dance floor space. The room can hold up to (I think) 180 people, but I liked that the room wasn't too packed with the # of guests we had at our wedding. The dinner food, unfortunately, was mediocre (i.e. it wasn't as good as it was when we had tried it at the tasting). Thankfully, we had amazing desserts to make up for mediocre dinner. In terms of cost, HVGC was the most reasonable place we were able to find outside Baltimore City - partly because we chose to get married outside the typical wedding season.

s also. She was very accommodating with the odd circumstances and from there we basically booked the wedding. Katie helped with any questions I had along the way and the food tasting was absolutely wonderful. They do require a minimum amount used for the wedding so be prepared to add extras to make up the amount if you have a smaller wedding, but the extras were worth it in my opinion. The weekend of the wedding was great because we were able to do the rehearsal the night before and the day of I was able to come in and set up everything the way I wanted even though the staff would have gladly done it for me. While I was there the staff was extremely courteous and complimented me on all my decor. I truly enjoyed every minute of being at the venue. The wedding was great and they have many options of having the ceremony outside or inside along with the cocktail hour. They had everything I would need including the cake serving tools and the champagne flutes. I would definitely recommend hunt valley golf club and the staff that works there including Katie the event coordinator.

s and helpful throughout the planning, for our rehearsal dinner (we had that in their private dining room, and the day-of. They were attentive to our needs and ensured everything was perfect for our wedding day. We have received nothing but praise for the venue, food and service from our guests.

ntract 4 months before our wedding. Thankfully we had a copy.

iling windows was magnificent, especially when the sun was setting while everyone was eating dinner. The cocktail hour, which was held outdoors under the canopy, was very nice. Katie Bunce, the event coordinator, was very friendly and accommodating; she kept in contact with us through the whole process. Katie offered us many options for table cloth colors, center pieces, etc., at no additional cost. After the wedding reception, we received many compliments on the location and the overall quality of staff that made the night so memorable and special. The food was also very delicious and was presented well by the cooks and wait staff. The staff was even thoughtful enough to put a cover on our meals to keep them warm while we talked with guests around the room during dinner. We thoroughly enjoyed having our wedding reception at Hunt Valley Golf Club and would recommend it to anyone.

ion room to make it even more elegant and gorgeous. Katie, the wedding coordinator was approachable and always responded promptly to our calls and emails. When situations arose, she did her best to fix them and make sure we were happy. She also made sure to coordinate all the vendors so that I did not have to worry with that the week of the wedding. There were a few issues during the wedding planning process that caused a little bit of stress. When we first signed our contract and met Katie, we were told our rehearsal would be the night before the wedding (as most rehearsals are). However, when we started planning our rehearsal dinner last July, we were told that they could not guarantee us a date until the month before the wedding. Since we had alot of out of town guests, this was not going to work for us. Katie worked with us to end up having the rehearsal the Wed before the wedding, but I felt that this should have been brought up during our initial meeting when I asked about it. Another issue that was not brought up in our initial meeting, was regarding the sides to the tent. When we first met at HVGC, we were told that if it rained or stormed they were able to put sides on the tent. However, it was never mentioned that the sides to the tent cost approx. 2000.00 and would be up to us to rent them. Of course the day of the wedding, it was scheduled to thunderstorm at our ceremony time. Katie did a wonderful job of finding the sides at a cheaper rate (800$), but I still felt like that should have been mentioned when we asked about the sides at our meeting. Finally, at the reception some of our guests received the wrong food. When my father called to question the venue the next day, he was told it was because the guests asked for something different. Regardless of if this happened or not, I felt like someone should have went to my father to ask if this was okay. Instead, they served different meals and ran out of fish so some people got food they didn't like. This was frustrating to me because I spent hours putting everything in excel and organizing everyones food so this would not happen and I feel like if they were going to serve different food to people who they claim changed their minds then they should have asked the person paying the bill especially if they knew they only had certain number of each amount of food items and that would impact the entire food flow. However, Katie was very understanding and even gave my dad a free round of golf and discount on some items because of this happening. Despite these issues that arose, Katie is wonderful and does everything to make sure your day is special. She is organized, responsive, and if I were to do it all over again knowing the issues that came up I would still have my wedding at HVGC, I would just be aware of the things I didn't realize initially when I signed our contract as mentioned above.

Katie, and booked that day. We found everything we had been looking for. We knew we wanted an outdoor ceremony, with some kind of back-up plan in case of weather. We knew we wanted an indoor reception where guests could flow outside if they wanted to. We both liked the country club/golf club vibe, so when we saw HVGC it was the right fit for us. The ceremony space is outdoors but covered, so there was no need for a back-up. We knew we’d be out there rain or shine (the weather was perfect that day). All the guests talked about pretty the venue was inside and out. The greenery was so serene, just like we wanted. I didn’t have to add any decorations for the outside because the backdrop was so green and gorgeous. Katie was so helpful through everything. She made you feel like there was nothing to worry about because she is so competent at what she does. She was very flexible with us on submitting info and dropping things off to her. I didn’t use a florist, we ordered flowers and dropped them off the day of. I told her how the centerpieces were to be set up, and she did them. She was great to work with. The staff was so polite and personable. When I was in the bridal suite before our intro into the reception one of the ladies was back there with my bridesmaids trying to get my dress bustled because they were having so much trouble with it. The food was delicious, everyone enjoyed their meals. Oh yeah, and my groom got a free round of golf too. We could not be happier with how everything turned out.

ything was in her hands. She really knows what she's doing. The wall to wall windows is what sold me on this place. The room is huge and you don't have to shimmy through the chairs to get around. If you like views great food, and great service, then this is the pace for you!

aff was nice and welcoming to my guests. The food was delicious. The drinks were flowing. The night was perfect! It is a perfect venue if you want a huge room so all of your guest feel part of the evening!

to each table hot, fresh and perfect. Our guests had a choice of filet, chicken chesapeake or vegetarian. My brother said his steak was delicious and so tender. The view from the ballroom overlooking the golf course is breath taking. The event planner, Katie, couldn't have been more knowledgeable, professional, and willing to work with any and all ideas I presented to her. I must also complement the waite staff. They were available should someone need additional service. I was a bit of a crazy mother-of-the-bride that day, but both Katie and Mike, the banquet manager, were exceptionally patient and eager to aid me in my efforts to have the best wedding I could execute for my only daughter. I highly recommend this venue, the staff, the event planner, the food (bravo Chef!) and the scenery were great. Oh, one other thing, I have smokers in my family (sad to say) but along the window side of the ballroom was a balcony that ran the full length of the ballroom and overlooked the golf course. The Club has cafe tables with chairs spread along the balcony. They allowed smokers to go out on the balcony and smoke outside. This was perfect, because you were not running all around trying to locate people, because you could see them thru the window or just open a door out to the balacony and you could see everyone. They lite tiki torches in the evening which gave it a nice touch. The wedding was an absolute BLAST... thank you everyone who helped make my daughter and new son-in-law's wedding so, so wonderful. It is worth checking out!

y to make the call on whether or not to have it inside and when it started to pour they put everything together for the ceremony on the dance floor in no time. They also had waiters carry around drinks from table to table to prevent a huge line from forming at the bar during cocktail hour since we couldn't have it on the patio. Even inside on a rainy day, the view of the golf course from the floor to ceiling windows is amazing and it was as close to being outside as we could get on that day. The food was absolutely delicious and many of our guests said that it's the best they've had at a wedding thus far. We had a fantastic time and are both so happy we chose Hunt Valley as our venue. Thanks to Katie and the staff for everything!

a member to have your event on their property. My pictures look like post cards. The food was great; everything was prepared and tasted exactly like it did on our tasting night. My husband and I had our wedding and reception at Hunt Valley. The options are on the patio ceremony or on the dance floor but both have amazing views, so if it rains, there is no disappointment. I had absolutely no complaints and would absolutely recommend to friends and family. Thank you Hunt Valley Golf Club and Katie Bunce! Sincerely Maria

he outside patio and walkway. The food menu had a lot of great options to choose from. There is always a concern that the fantastic food you taste at your tasting won’t be what you have on your wedding day but the food was delicious. If you’re looking for a venue with a fantastic planner and a beautiful scenery this is a must see venue. .

room till a certain time, they shouldn't be taking table cloths off etc. until your time is up. Drinks were taken from tables while people were dancing. Didn't like that.
