We began planning our wedding in February 2020. Literally as the pandemic began, so did our venue search. I came across Kiva Club and thought it would be my dream wedding location ...and therefore totally out of my budget. However, I had to see it anyways. Upon arrival, I knew we had to get married there. The clubhouse, ballroom, lawns, even the bathrooms are gorgeous! Further, the staff there went above and beyond to help us stick with our budget but to also throw the wedding of our dreams. And then quarantine began and everything shut down, including our October wedding. Nonetheless, the coordinators kept in constant contact with me for every change and regulation. We postponed and are SO GLAD we did! We were able to change our date to May and again, were kept updated with all details from Kiva. Sylvanna, the head coordinator there, was especially fantastic and I would like to specifically say she made the entire process of the postponement, rescheduling, and party planning so easy and fun throughout the nearly year and a half leading up to our big day. THANK YOU, Sylvanna, we love you!!
Finally, our wedding day. The other coordinators, Melissa and Shannon, were available for our every need. My flowers stained my satin dress and they were there with makeup remover wipes and tide pens- perfect solution. I had a small thread coming out of my dress, they had scissors on them to cut it. We needed refills of champagne, they got us there too. Busy taking pictures with family after the ceremony, they brought our appetizers and drinks to us. They even packed us to go meals in our getaway car when we left the venue to make sure we could eat that night. Literally every need was met and they truly did the MOST to make us feel good, relaxed, and supportive. I love you girls, Melissa and Shannon, thank you!
The ceremony was fantastic. The preferred vendors from Kiva were the best in the business. I had guests compliment me on every single staff member at Kiva from the DJ to our photographer to the waiters to the chefs. Not one person had anything bad to say about anyone or anything at our wedding! Our food was incredible, we had the senita buffet (mexican food) and were able to choose exactly what food we wanted from the menu and of course do a tasting early on. The atmosphere of the reception (we held ours inside the ballroom but they also do them outside if you prefer) was amazing!! The DJ provided up lighting and brought a projector to show music videos along with the song, we had a photobooth on the other side of the room, the bar and bartender were awesome with great drink selections, and the tables were spread out comfortably. The room had PLENTY of space for people to mingle, dance, drink, take photos, and so on. We had 89 guests and it was seriously spacious in there. They also were able to have the patio doors opened so people could be in or outside where we had lawn games and cocktail tables to hang out at.
I cannot say enough good things about Kiva Club. They made everything so magical for my husband and I, my family, and all of our friends. The next day at brunch all anyone could talk about was how wonderful everyone was from our venue. The kindness and helpfulness from the staff at Kiva is truly what makes it stand out above the rest. I would recommend this venue to anyone who wants to have the most beautiful space with the greatest people working and the calmest wedding planning experience you can think of. Thank you, Kiva Club!<3
