Porter Valley Country Club

the outdoor patio. The food was good. The staff was great. I was so thankful for our event coordinator Kelly Mattinson. She worked hard to make my daughter’s birthday party beautiful and special. The day of the event she went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. I was able to enjoy the party and not worry about a thing. My daughter absolutely loved her quinceañera party and that made me so happy. Our guests had a wonderful time as well. It truly was a memorable evening.

ire planning process. Day of event, Kelly was amazing. All of the food service staff were professional and appropriate. Food was beautifully presented and very tasty. All of our plans came to fruition. Very noteworthy since there were so many changes as pandemic restrictions kept changing. Highly recommend PVCC as a venue for a wedding or other celebratory event.

ions including having Kelly Mattinson as our day-of coordinator. Kelly went above and beyond to create a special and stress free experience. At our wedding I didn’t have to make any decisions and was able to focus on my spouse and guests and she took care of everything else. I highly recommend both the Porter Valley Country Club and Kelly as they not only didn’t let us down, but surprised us in good ways.

ny added stress. I’ve attended celebrations of life, graduation brunches, chamber events, casino nights and golf tournaments but this past month I attended my first wedding and it was SPECTACULAR! The ceremony sight was lovely, just saw the photos Jenny Stein captured their love. Jason the DJ kept us dancing all night and the flowers were unbelievable by Pure Petals , my centerpiece lasted for a week after. Thank you PVCC for making me look like a hero ; everyone LOVED it.

cation a couple weeks ago)! Kelly went above and beyond to make sure that our day was magical (and it was), and the venue is stunning. I literally reached out to over 100 places all over Southern California when we were looking for where we were going to have our wedding, but as soon as I came across PVCC we knew we had our venue. I highly recommend it!!!

so much!

accommodate out of state family. She made the process so easy and stress free.

meet our needs and suggested we use the two rooms instead one. The view was gorgeous, overlooking the golf course, lake and fountain, and we had a gorgeous sunset at party time. Kelly Mattinson was our very awesome Event Coordinator who literally made it all happen. Can I just say WOW? The party was a huge hit and everyone had a BLAST! It was a wine themed party (my husband is a collector) and Kelly found some awesome wine barrels, among other things, to use along with so many fantastic suggestions. She was always just a text away and kept me grounded. When I started to panic, Kelly was my Prozac! We chose our vendors from their top notch list of people and everyone performed beautifully. The service was stellar and the food was extremely good and served hot, thank you Chris and Chef. PVCC is the perfect place for any celebration, be it wedding, anniversary, birthday or whatever the occasion may be. 5 Stars to all!

rfect team and the Wedding was magnificent. We have No regrets. The next day my daughter said she wanted to do it all over it was such a Magical Night. They made us all feel special and every detail was executed in a professional manner. The setting was beautiful!

onal, and Kelly their event coordinator is FABULOUS. She helps make everything run smoothly and allowed me to enjoy two amazing days of my life worry-free. Thank you PVCC for helping make all of our events with you so memorable!

so impressed with Patricia and the gorgeous Porter Valley venue! The golf course is absolutely stunning, and the reception area is literally 50 steps away from the ceremony site. We really loved how the reception could be indoor/outdoor, and there are these cute market lights on the patio! We also thought this was the most affordable venue in the LA area. It's all-inclusive, which is great for people like us who don't have much time to spend planning a wedding. Patricia was very kind and attentive, and they were willing to work with our special requests which was a huge plus. We totally recommend Porter Valley!

ke care of you, she will. She directed me to the best vendors and every thing played out, just as we planned. The venue was beautiful and the service impeccable. Consider PVCC for your wedding or special event.

warm and welcoming and wants to make sure that she makes your day more than special. I and my fiance are so exited to have our wedding here!!

all the fine details, their package takes a lot of that stress away while still leaving room for my fiance and I to customize our wedding day. Patricia has been so helpful and quick to answer all of my questions. I can't wait for our wedding!

on we needed to make this important decision. The packages include almost everything for the wedding so I am certain that this experience will be stress-free. The country club grounds are so beautiful, it just seems meant to be.

ilable on the date we wanted. The day we booked, we were taken care of by Patricia Elias. She was friendly during the booking process but after we put in our down payment, she wasn’t as pleasant. She always took a while to respond to our questions via email. Some she wouldn’t even respond until my coordinator emailed her again. When she would reply, it would be very short. She also wasn’t very friendly when I took my own wedding coordinator to the venue. She was very straight faced and just always seemed annoyed. Coming closer to the wedding date, we decided to take Patricia’s suggestion to hire one of their in house coordinators, Kelly to work with my coordinator since Kelly knew the venue well. Kelly was okay but very pushy. Our ceremony was slightly non traditional and we had the sense she kept wanting to change our minds on what we wanted done. Example, we really wanted our bar inside because we had an open bar and we didnt think it made sense for our guest to keep walking outside to get their drinks. It was a long debate between Kelly and my coordinator. I also had a few complaints from my other outside vendors that Kelly was not very nice to them. Kelly was very nice to me and my husband but she was very pushy on her ways, so definitely stand your ground. The venue does deserve a few stars because the food was amazing and so were the servers on our wedding day. As for Patricia, we never heard from her or saw her after we made our final payment. Shows a lot about their business.

dination, efficiency and attention to detail was exceptional and if we were to do it all over again, we would choose this venue. We've gotten and are still getting compliments on our venue choice and it was all worth it.

y in planning for rehearsals as well as wedding start time. They have afternoon and evening events with only one room so I recommend being sure about your start time and clarifying rehearsal time availability before signing the contract. Porter Ranch tends to be windy so having a ceremony by their fountain can be tricky, and their proximity to Aliso Canyon also caused some worry prior to the day of the ceremony. The reception space has been newly renovated so it photographs well and the food was great but there were still a lot of things missing from the service side: 1. The staff disappeared with my maid of honor's credit card after she had bought shots for the wedding party before the outdoor ceremony in the cold. She missed out on a significant portion of wedding photos before the ceremony because she was tracking down her credit card (they also charged a 20% service charge because she had ordered for more than 6 people). 2. We had given them an excel spreadsheet, meal cards, as well as multiple emails specifying that a guest had a nut allergy. Our guest was served nuts on his salad. 3. They mixed up the champagne punch and nonalcoholic punch signs. We notified the staff but this did not get changed. A guest at the wedding changed the signs for us because they did not want any more children getting champagne punch and because we had some pregnant guests at the wedding. 4. This is not a service issue but you should expect to have golfers in your wedding photos.

but also because the team there is impeccably good at what they do. And they have big hearts! Patricia, Julie, Brian and Chris made the day perfect from the inside out. They all answered any questions we had and were more than willing to work with whatever we were envisioning for the event. Every wedding, every couple, is unique and has different needs; it was evident they appreciate this, and desire to make the day a successful event with happy bride and groom, happy guests, and what works best with the venue. A tough balance they easily danced through. Also, the list of vendors they recommend is stellar. We used Shannon as our coordinator and Ceasar Flores (DJ CEE). Shannon was a rockstar and Ceasar made the reception run flawlessly, as well as our food captain Chris. We had a guest count starting at 350, ended up with 300. The price is budget-friendly even for large parties, the food is DELICIOUS and came out hot. Rentals were in pristine condition. The staff put my husband and I first in every decision, as well as the day of festivities. I already have and will continue to recommend this venue to anyone.

s to choose from! You can meet with as many different vendors as you would like. For me I chose Ceasar for our DJ and he was fantastic and Pure Petals for my flowers! They were the most amazing flowers so perfect and fragrant. The country club was beautiful and the staff was amazing! The whole wedding night there was a member of the staff refilling our drinks and making sure me and my husband had everything we needed. They were very accommodating and very nice. The food was delicious also! Patricia made our wedding planning very easy and fun. I am still receiving compliments from my guests that it was the most beautiful wedding they have ever been to. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect and beautiful wedding!

elpful. Julie helped at the rehearsal since Patricia was out that day and she did a wonderful job as well. This venue was so convenient for most of our guests to get to and is a hidden gem in the valley. Our ceremony took place by the lake which was beautiful! However, they didn't clean up all the duck poop by the lake which made taking pictures more difficult than it should've been. I think they only cleared out the poop at the ceremony site. If I had known they didn't clean up all the poop before every event (no brainer!), I would've requested that be done in advance. Most of our photographing session was spent finding a spot where the bridal party could stand together without standing in duck poop! I really loved the package deal at PVCC. It came with the cake, DJ, florist and a complimentary photobooth which everyone LOVED! The photobooth prints out 2 copies of the photos so that guests can have a copy and they can put the 2nd in a scrapbook for the bride & groom. I absolutely love looking at our scrapbook - everyone had so much fun with it, especially the kids! Make sure you ask for the digital copies too! The package deal is very flexible. They give you a list of vendors to choose from so you can do your research and find the vendors that suit your style the best. It also makes it easy to find vendors because they are all very local and know the folks at PVCC very well already! We used Delicious Bakery, Village Florist and Jeff Atlas as our DJ. I would highly recommend all of them! We were told we would get a butler for the night but it turned out it was a "room captain" and we barely saw him at all during the night. They kind of screwed up our grand entrance because they didn't open up the doors at the right point in the song to make our grand entrance really GRAND. It was okay and people still got a kick out of it but it could've been better. The other fluke that happened is if you're doing photos by the lake before the ceremony starts, make sure they keep the doors to the reception room closed so that gusts don't start wondering outside at the ceremony site and see you taking pictures. I told them to keep the doors closed but they didn't, so we ran into that issue a bit. I had my bridal party take everyone back to the foyer to wait until we were done. Again, that was wasted time when we could've been taking pictures. If you get married here, I would highly recommend getting your florist to drape the wedding arch. It is an upgrade but well worth it. The wedding arch without draping looks very bare & ugly. I would also recommend getting your DJ to bring uplighting. It really brings the room to life and looks great in pictures Be aware that there is no place for the bride to get ready at PVCC. There is a room the bridal party can use but you'll need to get hair & makeup done elsewhere. The girls got ready at our house and that worked out great. I'm so glad we got ready at home because it is just a more comfortable environment and you have any last minute things you need. At PVCC, just make sure you put a sign on the door to the bridal party room so guests don't accidentally wander in while you're getting dressed. The food here was great although I barely got to eat any of it!

e we had an amazing time. I would have gave 5 Stars had it not been for the lack of service from Patricia the party planner. There was a members event going on at the same time of my wedding and that took priority over our wedding and her has our wedding planner. Several things were not as discussed and she was hardly around in the beginning to take care of it. She told the wedding party to keep it down as they were walking outside to the ceremony site . Our so-called rehearsal consisted of giving her the names of the wedding party having them line up by height and that was it. We were not allowed to "rehearse" and was treated as if the $1200+ we spent did not matter . Everything besides Patricia was great!

ade sure the day of went perfect. Beautiful location overlooking the water, great food, the vendors on their list are great, overall very happy! they made our day perfect. so glad we had our wedding at PPVC! Thanks guys for making our special day so memorable!

Everyone at the club was helpful and made sure things ran smoothly. I chose this venue based on location, aesthetics, and being all inclusive, (i.e., DJ, florist, baker). We were very pleased with the vendors, who helped contribute to a perfect wedding. The event director at PVCC, Julie, is so helpful and knowledgeable. She exudes the perfect balance of providing her professional and experienced opinion, while also being open about achieving your personal vision. I am so grateful for all that the club has done for us in making our day absolutely wonderful, and can't imagine a more helpful coordinator. Overall we are beyond pleased with the venue and couldn't have asked for a better experience.

and def needed help. Julie made everything so easy and was extremely helpful. Everything ran smoothly and I couldnt have imagined anything better. If I have a future event, I will be calling her

eautifully! I highly recommend PVCC!

his long awaited wedding left no room for error or delay. This unique wedding needed a venue that could meet the wishes of a young and edgy couple but also create an elegant and breathtaking event for all to share. Having said that, Porter Valley offered an all inclusive experience with many options for vendors that fit the couples style and vision to a T. As for the service on the day of, there was not a minute after arrival or before goodbyes that we were not waited on hand and foot. Words could not describe how perfectly everything was placed. From the beautiful water fountain view at the ceremony, to the jaw dropping reception set up. The flowers, the color theme, the centerpieces, the cake.. Perfect Perfect Perfect! And the FOOD.... Everyone agreed, the salad and main course were as delicious as the day of the food tasting. As for the DJ(Cesar), he kept the dance floor full of life and celebration all night. He made a personal effort to get to know the bride and groom and their particular taste in the soundtrack of their wedding. From Jimi Hendrix and ACDC, to Rick James and 311, The DJ captured the unique sounds that the couple wanted, making the night that much more special. Porter Valley Country Club did an exceptional job making the whole family a top priority by providing outstanding services, personal connections, and a smooth experience. All the while greeting everyone with smiling faces and kind words the whole day through.

s, dinner, the ceremony, and cake, flowers and DJ vendor options. Their vendor choices helped narrow down my search and I loved each vendor I picked. I did have to pay some out of pocket to upgrade (e.g. more flowers, bigger cake, money for the bar, etc.) but even the basic package is absolutely workable. Julie and Patricia run the events department and they were both kind, helpful and always ready to answer any questions I had. The outdoor terrace for the ceremony looks out of the golf course and made for great pictures. While the $9000 ticket price seems like a lot, after shopping around, it was absolutely the best deal for everything that was included. I would absolutely use them again for any fancy affair, and I would recommend Porter Valley in a heart-beat! Loved everything about it, and my wedding day was exactly what I wanted it to be!

ndor and everything went very smoothly. The venue is beautiful, the staff are well-trained and Julie, the event coordinator, is very experienced and made sure our big day went perfectly!

rapher (Neil G.) was pretty good, except he charged us an extra $300 just for a dvd of the photos he took. I thought the $1500 we payed him would have included that. The venue was very basic, but not bad. Where they got us was at the bar. They charged us PER DRINK!!! Not per hour or even per bottle, but PER DRINK!!!!! And they never mentioned this to us and wasnt in our contract. 10 oz Beers: $4.00 per Well drink: $6.50 per Call drink: $7.50 per (Jack Daniels or Absolut) Premium: $9.50 per *All drinks were weak and shots very small* All of these prices would be OK if we were at a bar on Ventura (except a 10oz beer for $4.00, i would maybe pay that at a stadium) But not when you have a 125 people and celebrating with family and friends. So I had almost $2400 in deposit, and the billed me $4600 extra that night. So the bar alone cost me $7000!!! HERE IS THE BEST PART! We had to pay that night!!! So my wife and I had to crack open our envelopes for cash, and I had to send my brother home to lend me cash. And when I asked the bartender to make my drinks bigger since I was the groom, he said he couldnt. Even though there was a 20% gratuity on the bar tab which means i payed him $1400 for 5 hours of work plus he was getting extra tips all night. So through email we requested the details of our tab, and they told it would be emailed shortly. NO RESPONSE! I tried to call but no answer. Finally I called the main line and got transferred through, only to be told they dont have the records. I have since called around to other facilities in the area and other people that got married, and nobody dealt with this.

ituals, craft projects that had to be laid out everywhere, and lots and lots of people. The venue was absolutely gorgeous and we were able to take indoor and outdoor photos that just looked amazing. And they have relationships with a number of vendors who give you a good deal because of their association with PVCC.

my wedding in October 2010 and my wedding was in July 2011 so Julie and Ann were with me through my entire journey. The fact that my package included everything I needed for a successful wedding made everything much easier on us. The cake, the DJ, the flowers, the officiant, the food, the bar, service, everything was included in our package. While I am very thankful my cake came out GREAT, my flowers were GORGEOUS, and the officiant was GREAT, I was disappointed with the DJ. While he kept the party going and everyone had a good time, he seemed not too happy being there. He was rude to some of my guests and I saw him rolling his eyes to me because I wanted to take more pictures before my grand entrance. The second problem I encountered in the wedding was that the Buffet Captain was not aware of a few of my requests. Julie had told me that since I was the bride and I love Cosmos, I could have that all night and it would be included in my package. I ordered cosmos from 2 different people and I never got one, in fact I didn't even get a response to that. Also, I had 3 cake flavors for people to pick from and many people did not get what they wanted. I also had said I did not want to save the top tier and they were going to (I stopped them just in time). It really crushes me to give them 4 stars because Julie and Ann were so great... but I believe that the buffet captain and the DJ were important pieces of the wedding and they were not 100%. But thanks, Porter Valley, all in all, it was AMAZING! A lot of my friends told me that it was one of the best weddings that they've been to and that it was soooooo much fun. I had an amazing time and so did everyone else! THANKS AGAIN AND AGAIN

hing, we will call these moments creative flaws. The crake was great, the DJ was good, the flowers were AMAZING, and the environment was welcoming. If i were to list my negatives the list is short, but good to know. Places for pictures takes some creativity. if you (the bride) want to hide till th big moment they have a room, but it's hard to get anywhere with out being seen by your guests. Over all its a great venue, friendly staff, and totally makes it possibl to have a beautiful n day for under 15 grand (keep in my we had a friday night wedding).

It was actually a very easy process, Julie our wedding coordinator gave us a list of vendors that worked with us extremely well, everyone was on time and offered the best services! I was married 3 years ago and I still get compliments on how beautiful our wedding was, that the food was delicious, and that they had so much fun! If I could do it over again I would definitely have my wedding here again!!

t. It was everything I wanted. They were so helpful. Ana and Julie were wonderful. I recommend using Porter Valley.

would email her and would either have an answer that day or first thing the next day. Her staff was amazing on the day of my wedding. They were so helpful. The Banquet captain was also great, Maria took great care of my husband and I . Now lets talk ceremony. I got married outside facing the golf course at night. The sky and golf course looks like a postcard. I dont have enough amamzing words to say about the country club.

ut the captain and the staff are very attentive but NOT overwhelming! We received compliments about everything!!! Thank you so much PVCC!

l, organized, service oriented, responsive, attentive to our needs, etc... Service and taking care of the client/customer is their #1 priority and they were a pleasure to work with and coordinate. Also their recommended vendors were valuable and excellent choices too. (we used 3 of them). If you want to have a wedding & reception (or private function) at a beautiful property and a quaint ballroom with professional staff and exceptional service, then you would want to have it at PVCC!!!!

blown away by the level of service driven by genuine care and joy for our union. The arrangements were perfect and the food was fantastic. The beautiful landscape of the grounds makes for a really enjoyable time. By far the best venue for the best price. I love Porter Valley as a place to golf and as a place to get married. Highly recommend Porter valley.
