Maderas Golf Club

d she was incredibly helpful, responsive, and patient with all our questions. We had a great surprise earlier this year when we learned that the ballroom was redone this winter, and the wall paper, light fixtures, and overall appearance now look much more modern and bright. The day of the wedding, my bridesmaids, moms, and I all got ready in the spacious (and also brand new) bridal suite, which is right above the ballroom (private bathroom, mini kitchenette, and lounge area were all perfect). The ceremony itself was beautiful, with a picturesque background overlooking the golf course (we also rented a circle arch from Maderas that we decorated with florals). After our ceremony, we took golf carts out with our photographer and Chelsea to get scenic, private shots around the course. In addition, we were impressed with their food choices and quality for our rehearsal dinner, cocktail hour, and wedding dinner. We also worked with Chelsea to pick two signature cocktails, which was a fun way for us to add some personalization to the night. We’re so glad we went with Maderas for our wedding!

he perfect venue for us. The golf course is absolutely stunning and offers such an incredible backdrop with the mountains in the background. Rebecca was our venue coordinator and she was SO incredible at kindly answering any questions we had during the planning process and being that trusted resource for us. Day-of, everything went off without a hitch and we were over the moon with the entire day! The food was incredible and their drink options for the bar are awesome! We are still getting comments from guests raving about the venue and how smoothly the entire day went. We wouldn't have changed one single thing about our big day!

ry step of the way they were extremely communicative and helpful with all my questions and concerns. Chelsea is an amazing coordinator who really helped to make sure the day ran flawlessly and I couldn't be more grateful to her and her team for everything. Even when we had a (fairly) last-minute change of plans for our ceremony and needed to have it on property they made things work with no issue whatsoever. Our wedding really was a dream come true and we loved every moment.

was always very quick at responding to emails and messages and she really is a FULL SERVICE planner. Took care of everything, from dealing with rentals to contacting all of our vendors to make sure everything ran smoothly the day of. Having the bridal house was a perfect addition to making our day so special. It was the perfect amount of space so that we could bring in hair and make up and had the best lighting for pictures. Our beauty team and my bridesmaids could not stop raving about the house and all the space. The catering had changed during covid but I feel like we really lucked out. There was so many unique choices and the food was also delicious. Our guests all talked about how good the food tasted and the beautiful presentation. All together we had the best day and could not say enough great things about Maderas and all the staff!

unities. The service during the reception and overall was immaculate. There are many food, DJ, , florist vendors to choose from. I can’t wait to golf there as well. I know it will be a blast.

tremely accommodating in helping us have a beautiful and safe wedding!

ckdrop. Maderas is easy to find with plenty of parking for guests. They have a nice variety of food on their menu and the courses we had on our tasting menu were delicious. We worked with Rebecca, wedding coordinator, and she was always very pleasant, easy to work with, and helpful. Unfortunately, our wedding/ reception have been postponed indefinitely due to COVID-19, but Patrick, the general manager, and Chelsea, the wedding coordinator, have been very accommodating and understanding. We hope that we will be able to have our wedding there once COVID is gone.

general manager, and Chelsea, our wedding specialist, have been so accommodating and generous with their time and resources. There are so many wonderful things I would like to share about them and how amazing they have been in this process! This has been such a whirlwind trying to figure everything out, and they have been nothing but helpful and accommodating to ensure our happiness for our special day. Not only did they each reach out to us individually to see if we needed anything, but collectively as the Maderas Team. I highly recommend this venue not only for the beautiful location and property, but also for the experience of working with such amazing staff members! From the time we walked into the front door until we left the parking lot, each member was so kind and helpful! What an amazing staff and venue for a wedding or event! Thank you for helping us out when this crazy season and circumstances has hit us all!

it's your own on the day of. First off, Chelsea was an AMAZING wedding specialist/catering manager. I can't begin to tell you how many emails I sent her and how she'd always respond super fast and answer all of my questions. There is no doubt the success of our wedding going off without a hitch is owed to her. She's phenomenal and worked so so well with all our vendors. Next, you cannot beat La Casa - their one-of-a-kind bridal suite - for getting ready. We had access to it starting at 7am and no hourly limits as some venues have. Finally, besides the gorgeous grounds and ballroom, the food at Maderas (courtesy of chef Earl Schryver) is exceptional. We got so many rave reviews about the food and felt proud to have served our guests something they truly enjoyed. Overall, Maderas was the absolute perfect place for my wedding and I cannot recommend it enough for couples looking in the San Diego area.

as extremely friendly and very professional, they always responded in a timely manner, everyone was super organized, they always had our best interest, it’s very clean, quiet, the food was amazing, bartender was quick and professional, the scenery is phenomenal...I could go on an on. We worked with Chelsea and she’s literally the sweetest person. My husband and I got married in Feb 2019 and Chelsea not only helped make our entire process smooth and seamless, yet most importantly our wedding day was absolutely perfect thanks to her. I highly recommend Madera’s Gold Club for any party, wedding or function.

utiful it was and on the food as well. The photos we took on the golf course were amazing too! The bride's side of the bridal party also got ready at their complimentary bridal house and we had such a blast getting ready and taking pictures there with the wonderful scenery. Additionally, Chelsea was extremely helpful with wedding planning by sharing their list of recommended vendors to me and the ones we went with were all great and within our budget.

ul at all. The day of went off without a hitch. Everything was beautiful, the food was delicious (for entrees we ordered the salmon, steak and vegan option), a lot of our guests commented on how delicious the dinner was (and the late night churros!) The bridal suite was absolutely beautiful and perfect to get ready in for 9 adult ladies + my flower girl. Maderas was super accommodating when it came to letting us take pictures on the course. I'd highly recommend to any bride!

exas and chelsea helped me plan the wedding long distance never once was I nervous or overwhelmed she was so attentive to what I needed and helped me put everything together so smooth. I couldn’t imagine getting married anywhere else. Thank you Maderas for an absolute dream of a wedding!

oor ceremony, outdoor cocktail hour, and indoor reception here. Our guests kept commenting on how beautiful of a venue this was! The Tuscan-decor ballroom is large enough to fill a big wedding but was also warm enough to accommodate my smaller wedding of 75. Perhaps the best part, the gem, of Maderas, is Chelsea White. From start to finish, she was so helpful, kind, and sweet. She patiently answered all of my questions, helped my wedding vision come to light, kindly worked with an outside food caterer who might have been a bit of a diva, and patiently listened as I ranted about our less than stellar DJ. :) She was the last person I saw before I walked out to say my I-dos and was so calming and reassuring. She graciously allowed us to come back and shoot more wedding photos after the day of due to lack of time and was kind enough to take us to different spots on course to get the pictures we wanted. In short, she made our special day as flawless as possible and the whole Maderas experience was excellent. You will not be disappointed!

erything about our wedding was perfect!!!

as my wedding planners when it wasn't expected. I would do it a million times over, but only if I had the two of them by my side again. They made everything easier and I cannot say enough good things about them; professional, thoughtful, and just a joy to work with. You name it, they are on top of it! For example, I purchased my sweetheart table linen and it wasn't set to come in until the week of my wedding. Without even asking or thinking I needed it, Adam had a backup plan and linens set aside in case it didn't come in. And sure enough, we needed that backup plan – lifesavers! Not to mention, Chef Earl is an AMAZING chef! We ended up having our rehearsal dinner at Maderas as well just because of how great they are. Adam and Brandon made my special day a breeze & my guests absolutely loved Chef Earl's food. Maderas made us feel like family and that was the best gift ever!

and grounds for our rehearsal/family dinner, where the couple was introduced through their video love story which had us all in tears. And that was the beginning. Thank you Adam Packer for holding my hand. As the mother of the groom, I wanted everything to be perfect and was always stressing about trying to make it so. You took a big burden of worry off me and made the process, from early planning to honeymoon send-off a pleasure for me. You accommodated our videographer's set up, introduced us to Laura Magid's great suggestions and guidance through all the layout and decision making. Thanks to Brandon and his service team for responsible and expert service, and all the behind the scenes staff who worked their hardest for us. We owe a huge debt of gratitude and hugs to our ever so talented Chef Earl Schryver for his attention to the details of all the varied guests and their tastes at rehearsal dinner and the spectacular layout for the wedding reception and dinner. You made it both family friendly Italian formal (glitz and heels)....and...transitioned to a vintage elegance (Lace and cowboy boots) finale! A Wilderness Wedding reception and dinner/dancing under the stars at Old Coach Vineyards, our happy couple could not have had a more cherished day in the setting of their childhood dreams. On behalf of our entire extended family, (thanks again to all for the hard work and out of the box accommodations of your entire team), you pulled it off to be the Elegant Wilderness Wedding of a lifetime. THANK YOU written on behalf of The Mubarak and Gallego Families

ere: the feeling of privacy, an easy to get to location, an indoor reception option, and a big dance floor. Maderas has all of these things and more. Food and bar package was great too, reasonable prices for how elegant everything felt. The style of the golf club is a spanish look with great views of the hills. We cannot say enough about this venue, definitely check it out! You can even visit and have lunch at their clubhouse to get a sneak peak. Thank you to all the staff who helped us, especially Laura!

talk about how friendly, professional, genuine, and awesome Laura is. She is very flexible and more than willing to work with you. We had some vendors who wanted to do things their way and didn't quite understand that venues have standard protocols on certain things and Laura was extremely understanding in helping us deal with them and avoiding extra charges that aren't in her hands. We had some last minute changes which I am sure she probably hated us for but always had a smile on her face and happily made those changes. Laura was very responsive and quick to answer all our questions. Her job is extremely stressful and she has so much going on but she always manages to make is seem like your wedding/event is the only thing going on. Full, undivided attention every time we met. Having a beautiful venue is only half the win; having that special person help manage everything along the way is what makes Maderas a guaranteed 100% win all the time.

ere beautiful and perfectly manicured, all of the vendors they recommended that we used, we all first class as well. We also looked around and visited many venues in San Diego and Maderas was actually cheaper than some venues that were less appealing, so we felt like on top of everything else we got a great deal. can't say enough good things about Maderas and especially Laura, she held our hands through the whole process and made us feel welcome, at ease, and like the only wedding on her calendar. Simply perfect!

tained. Matt and I worked closely with Laura throughout the planning process and she was responsive, efficient and honest regardless of the topic. She also remembers everything, all of the little details and definitely helped us bring our vision to life. We planned from afar (Minneapolis), so this was a big deal! My husband golfed with family and friends all week leading up to the wedding and said the course was amazing. The Maderas also gave him a couple free rounds and let our guests golf at the member rate which was great! One of my favorite parts of the process was the bridal suite with my ladies beforehand. This place is like a fairytale and we were greeted with fresh fruit and champagne to kick off the day. The 8 hours leading up to say "I do" flew by, everyone was having the BEST time! Before the ceremony our wedding party was treated to beers and champagne as well as refreshments ... and after, we were greeted with more beers and my favorite cocktail before pictures. The little gestures were so thoughtful and certainly didn't go unnoticed. They even joined our photographer / Videographer for pictures to ensure we knew where to go. Since the wedding has ended, we have received so many compliments on the venue from our guests. We have heard everything from how beautiful the views were, to how nice it was to have the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception in three separate areas on the same property allowing a different view/experience. BUT, the biggest one was the food... people LOVED the food!!! AH it really was so amazing, and we could not be more thankful to Laura and the entire Maderas team. -- The Risingers

a landmark on the premises. No need to worry about guests not being able to find you. The Ceremony Site: I used the Del Lago Garden for my ceremony and there was ample room for my 175 guests. The lawn was perfectly green and the view was spectacular. The Ballroom: The ballroom is one hell of a venue. The ceilings were palacial and the décor was not overly gaudy. This ballroom was perfect for my gold and deep summer colored wedding. CLEANLINESS was clearly a top priority here as there was not one crumb or speck on the floor, all of the tables and chairs were in pristine condition. The wrought iron chandeliers gave it such a classic look and the amber lighting gave it a splash of romance. The catering team took such good care of making sure there was nothing that looked less than perfect. The Food: No cutting corners or tiny portions here!! Nothing is worse than sitting at a wedding and feeling hungry. Cocktail hour with the tray passed appetizers were such a hit, the options you are given are really meant to fit all palettes and dietary needs. Guests were nearly full and dinner hadn’t even started. The portions were pretty substantial. Our guests had a choice between Wild Sea Bass and Filet Mignon and each were equally as delicious. The Sea Bass was flaky and flavorful and the Filet was cooked to perfection. Rice and potatoes accompanied their respective proteins and we were able to choose which went with which. The veggies were so perfectly cooked, with just that perfect crunch finish. …in addition to your cake you can have a LATE NIGHT DESSERT. Truly a wonderful dining experience. Food was piping hot where it should have been hot and nice and crisp cold where it should have been cold. Perfection. The Staff: Everyone was so kind and attentive not only to me (being the bride) but to everyone. We had their full and undivided attention all night and they were so concerned with how I was doing and how mu guests were doing. Not one thing went overlooked, no cutting corners, and the bartender made the drinks nice and strong…which was awesome because it got everyone loose and on the dance floor. Catering/Event Manager: LAURA MAKES DREAMS COME TRUE! PERIOD. We met Laura on her day off, which already gave us a hint at her work ethic. She was so warm, welcoming and made us feel so welcome. The beauty of the club sells itself so not one word out of her mouth sounded like a sales pitch. She showed us the club top to bottom and showed us every option we could possibly choose from for our special day. Throughout the whole process working with Laura made the planning of this wedding so calm and relaxed. Her organization and confidence in her craft did not stress me out one bit. She was on top of communicating with me and covering every aspect of the event in a timely manner. Not once did I feel rushed to make a decision. She is also there for you to make any recommendations if you are stuck on a decision. My entire family just fell in love with her and the way she was able to fit our needs rather than make us fit the needs of the club. She wanted me to have my dream wedding, she executed perfectly and we love her for it. Mutual respect goes a long way…I’ll leave it at that
