Piney Branch Golf Club

uick in her response time, always there to answer my millions of emails and made a very stressful time planning and day so much less stressful. She is absolutely amazing at what she does and the venue itself is just so perfect!

is beautiful with an outdoor pavilion and indoor ballroom. We got multiple compliments from guests on how beautiful the ballroom was. The best part was how affordable it was and how much it included! I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful golf course venue with good food, lots of items included (hello chivari chairs included?!) and a wedding planner that is on it!

ecommending Piney Branch to all our friends!

uture!

ad empathy for our situation, explained all of the guidelines and how they could work with us to still make our day what we dreamed of! Unfortunately, our original venue wouldn’t refund us and we had already paid in full, so we decided to suck it up and stick with them but if I could do it all over again, I would have chosen Piney Branch in a heartbeat. Thank you, Emily, for all of your help, suggestions and guidance!

Emily's initial introduction email reminded us a lot of the previous coordinator, bubbly and excited to get to work.  However this was not the vibe we got on the phone and in person.  I can say with 100% confidence we were not bride/groom zillas AT ALL, but we were getting married in the midst of a pandemic so yes, we did have questions.  I dealt with her once on the phone and she was so dismissive and cold that I made that my husband's job from then on.  It was the same for him-she always sounded like "I was interrupting something very important or she was just about to leave for the day." 2-He called her throughout the pandemic to make sure no guideline or rules/laws had changed and her response "No, I will let you know if anything changes."  Now it's August, our tasting, 2 months until wedding.  Within 5 minutes of sitting she says that masks are required inside and outside. When he asked her why she didn't call us she said "Well, I mean, it was on the news..." We still felt it was her job to call and review how this pandemic would impact our wedding.  Too late to back out, so we fork up extra money to rent siding for the pavilion and outdoor heaters-we would have rather had it outside than make everyone wear masks.  We ran around like crazy (and put down a lot of extra money) to make this new plan work.  F.F. to 1 month later-1 month until wedding. When I sit down with her she tells me that masks are no longer a rule because no one follows it once they start drinking. Sooo #1-she made it sounds like it was Hogan's law, when it was in fact THE COUNTRY CLUBS RULE & #2, once again, no call when there was a change. #3-The small-time siding/heater company jumped through hoops for us and we felt terrible cancelling, so even though we didn't need them, we kept the heaters.  F.F. to cocktail hour a groomsmen saw old people who were clearly cold trying to turn on the heaters...that were off.  He asked Emily why and she said "They're broken."  Knowing a company would not send 2 broken heaters he opened the bottom and flipped a switch and they were on, it took seconds.  #1-she almost wasted extra money we spent, which we would not have spent in the first place if not for her.  #2, instead of "I can't figure out it out" she either lied or made a ridiculous assumption that BOTH were broken (& when the company dropped them off they told me they SHOWED HER how to use them.) These were the 3 things that still stick with me.  This does not count small incidents like eye rolls to my bridal party and guests when they would ask very normal questions.  Overall, Emily seems to despise her job and doesn't like to go out of her way to volunteer information.  I completely understand it's a crazy pandemic, but this is your job.  Would I book here again?  Yes, but knowing what I know now I would have been less passive and non-confrontational.  We were so shocked by her unprofessionalism that I don't think we would have handled it the same way if we were expecting it.  If you book with her, be assertive and ready to demand answers, because it's like pulling teeth to get information.  And be ready for a major attitude. OTHER THAN THAT(:  The rest of the staff was WONDERFUL!!! Bartenders, waiters, everyone!!!

us to answer question, work within our budget, and work out logistics. The venue itself was gorgeous and we have gotten so many compliments on how beautiful the ceremony (outdoor under the pavilion) and the reception (inside the spacious ballroom) were. The food and the staff were excellent as well. Could not recommend enough!

c. From initial contact and planning, all the way through day of handling, Rachel’s wealth of experience and professionalism shined through. Every question was answered promptly and she gave us a great deal of confidence that every facet of the special day would go off without a hitch. If there were any issues, we never knew about them! If you are looking for a beautiful setting with top notch service, we highly recommend Piney Branch and Rachel.

I hope you read this :)

nd beautiful grounds for photography! Rachel was so wonderful in helping us plan every minute of our timeline for the day as well as rallying guests or family, helping set up decorations, keeping vendors on schedule, and calming my nerves when I needed it! She basically acts as your wedding planner for free! We can’t say enough good things about our experience for our special day. You get what you pay for in every penny!

erything went smoothly. We had the crab cakes and beef tenderloin. Both were outstanding. The bartenders and other waitstaff were great and gave special attention to the wedding party. My daughter told me it was the best wedding ever!!

lmost instantly and were never made to feel like a burden when we made last minute changes. The food was delicious, venue beautiful, service out of this world - hosting our wedding at Piney Branch was the best decision we made!

commend and totally affordable!

ing would go smoothly. Rachel was there every step of the way, down to day of set up and tear down! I can't thank her and the staff enough for all of their help. The food was absolutely incredible. Staff even made sure my husband and I had food in between the ceremony and reception! We had our very own plate of hor d'oeuvres waiting after photos. Every last detail of our wedding was taken care of by Rachel and her staff, if there was a problem on our wedding day, I still don't know about it. We truly had the best day and that is because of the incredible staff at Piney Branch! If you're looking for an amazing venue with incredible views for photographs, this is the place! We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out! Thank you again Rachel and Piney Branch Staff!!

so much to offer from those sought after chiavari chairs, centerpiece extras to use and all these little things that add up-made things so less stressful. Food was excellent. All of our guests loved it and had a wonderful time which is really what it’s all about. Can’t go wrong with Piney Branch!

ll the details and answered all my questions (in a timely manner). Rachel completely outdid herself on the wedding day. Rachel will help set up any decorations you have (within reason) and helps you follow the timeline. Our guests loved the food and all of the staff was friendly and professional. We are so glad we decided to have our wedding at Piney Branch and can’t recommend it enough!

ing photo booth and coordinating the special sparkler send-off. Our guests were impressed with every part of the reception and we have many new memories to cherish. Thank you!

ed included. The pavilion was perfect for their outdoor ceremony and everyone enjoyed cocktails on the patio. The ballroom is spacious, and perfectly arranged. The grounds are beautiful and the food is delicious. I highly recommend Piney Branch Gold Club for any event.

ly! We loved the outdoor pavilion space and ended up not only using it for our cocktail hour but also for dancing. Because we had an off-site church ceremony, Piney Branch was able to have the pavilion all set up for the cocktail hour upon our guests' arrival. We then moved our guests into the ballroom for the bulk of the reception: the wedding party introduction, first dance (on the main indoor dance floor), dinner, toasts, cake cutting, and father/daughter and mother/son dances. The party was then moved back outside to the pavilion as the dance music was kicked up! Our older guests and parents' friends loved this setup, which allowed those not interested in dancing to continue conversing and visiting with each other in the ballroom, away from the dancing and loud music. We continue to get compliments about how ingenious this creation of two spaces was. The venue itself was beautiful: stunning grounds, the signature pavilion, a tasteful ballroom, and chiavari chairs. We love all of our wedding photos on the grounds (Rachel, the wedding coordinator, took us and our photographer and videographer around in golf carts for our portraits!). Overall rating only 4/5 because the food could have been better cooked and was definitely inferior to the food at our tasting. The brussel sprouts were significantly undercooked and the beef tenderloin was overcooked; if I were doing it over again, I would have gone with a less adventurous veggie. The crab cakes, however, were divine, as were all the hors d'oeuvres!

reasonable. The food is amazing (we got complements all night from guests). The staff is very friendly and helpful. We couldn’t be happier!

on to detail from beginning to end was impeccable. Rachel was great throughout the planning process answering all of our questions and making sure every detail was taken care of. But the day of Rachel really outdid herself and helped everything flow like clockwork. We are so thankful that we had her there throughout the process to really make our dreams come true. A million thank yous to you Rachel :) We had the best day!!

ACHEL IS THE BEST. Beside the fact that Piney Branch is beautiful, she was a big reason why we picked it. We couldn't have had such a perfect day without her. Everything went off without a hitch! We will be forever glad we had our wedding here.

we left off in the process. Rachel was informative and allowed us to pretty much pick and choose what we wanted to do and how we wanted things to look. The best part was she was able to make a day of timeline so we had a plan set for each step of the special day and when things would happen exactly. The venue was beautiful with bright colored flowers even in the heat of July. Piney Branch staff on the day of the wedding was wonderful. They made sure elderly or handicap guests did not have to get up and walk through the buffet, they had a plate delivered right to their seats which made it a lot easier for those guests. I would recommend Piney Branch to anyone who is looking to get married in a beautiful indoor and outdoor setting.
