They sold me on the price & the venue but they kept saying Natalie will be doing everything decor/dealing with my vendors so I asked to meet her before I signed anything. The owner...
called her asked what day & time was good for her. My fiancée and I are alittle earlier so we sit at the bar and wait. After 20 minutes I texted her & asked hey I’m here where are we meeting? She then called me and said she had nothing in her calendar. SHE PICKED THE TIME & DAY. She said she could come but it would be awhile she didn’t know if I wanted to wait (she didn’t want to come you can tell) she apologized to me and said it wasn’t like her. Well now looking at reviews I am not shocked. Just warning other brides.
Had a great experience! Staff at Sandhill is accommodating and professional. Minor issues with the ceremony space and noise from a vent fan but microphones easily accommodated. Lov...
ed all the spaces at this venue for rehearsal, ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Big beautiful ballroom with spaces for guests to escape to (patio, hallway with couches etc). Also very affordable for what we got.
HIRE AN OUTSIDE WEDDING PLANNER.
We paid extra to have the package that included Natalie Harmon the owner of Harmon Events to be our wedding planner. Throughout our many preweddin...
g meetings at the venue, we discussed our vision for the aesthetic of the wedding which included the reception room as well as specifics for our ceremony. I was informed that my ideas would come to life and that the wedding would have the look I was envisioning. The number of details that were overlooked is beyond my comprehension.
We had a multitude of issues that did not live up to our expectations, nor were plans executed the way that we had discussed in the multiple meetings we had in the months before the big day. We understand that during events things don't always go as planned and we anticipated that there would be one or two missed details, but we are extremely disappointed at the amount of time, effort, and money we put into this wedding to have numerous details missed and/or different than we had discussed.
After our wedding, we expressed our concerns and Natalie apologized and offered to give us a partial refund. We have now been married for about five months and have made multiple attempts to get the partial refund that she came up with and offered us and have been completely ignored. It is truly a shame that she promised she was going to make it right with us and instead we have been disregarded. It would be worth it to hire an outside planner who will truly be there throughout the process and keep good on their word.
PLEASE READ. Food and venue staff was great, wedding planner was a total disappointment.
Let me start out by saying that I never leave reviews for anything, but I was so disap...
pointed about my wedding planning experience that I needed to share and warn other brides in the future. We had our wedding at Sandhill Crane in December of 2022. The venue and its staff was OUTSTANDING, if I was doing my review only focusing on them, I would have given them 5 starts for sure. The place is beautiful and fully renovated, Avi and his team were amazing, the food was delicious, the charcuterie board was amazing, the drinks were great and overall the servers and staff were all very polite and knew what they were doing. I don't have one bad thing to say about them.
But, my experience with the wedding planning team (Natalie and Michelle) which is the preferred vendor recommended by the venue, was a complete disappointment. Throughout the whole process, everything was just very unorganized, the wedding planner was late for every call and meeting we had (sometimes 1hr+ late), she never communicated with my vendors up until 3 days before the wedding, I had to plan the entire ceremony music, first dance, toast, etc. I had to chase her with questions and make sure everything was accounted for and planned properly as opposed to the other way around.
On my wedding day, everything from the wedding planning side was a complete disaster and it made my experience so miserable. The venue layout plan that we had worked on for weeks was not followed at all, and everything was out of place. Michelle had the worst attitude and just wasn't prepared for my wedding at all. She didn't review the layout, all the tables were out of place, she forgot about the wedding party ceremony order, and was just a complete mess.
Here's a list of things that went wrong or never happened at all :
- The bouquets were not done in time for the pictures to start and when they finally gave me my bouquet it had 8 sad looking roses (semi wilted) and nothing more - I was promised at least 12 roses and a lot more greens and elements to make it look fuller. My bridesmaids had to take flowers from their bouquets to try to fix mine so that it didn't look so miserable.
- The ceremonial arch was not done in time so the ceremony had to be pushed back (when guests had already arrived), the arch fell on the floor and members from my family had to fix it because the wedding planner didn't care to fix it.
- All tablecloths were SO wrinkly. My bridesmaids and I offered to iron them and they didn't let us do that.
- I was promised a tall and more robust centerpiece for the main table at the reception and that never happened. All centerpieces were the same, no flowers.
- I was promised a petal toss for guests at the end of the ceremony and that never happened.
- I was promised flowers and greens to decorate the cake and that never happened. The cake was completely white with only the cake topper that I bought
- I was promised flowers and greens to decorate my welcome sign, and that never happened.
- I was promised a day-of bridal assistant to help with my needs, provide us with a champagne toast and snacks during the date, etc. and I never even saw her for the entire day.
If you're thinking about having your wedding at Sandhill Crane I would recommend hiring your own wedding planner. I had the worst experience and wouldn't want that for any other bride.
We had a brunch wedding on 10/30/22, and I can’t say enough good things about this place! It’s not only a beautiful and affordable place for a wedding, but their team is also amazi...
ng. Natalie was amazing during the entire planning process and she was there for me on my wedding day making sure everything was perfect. I can’t believe we had such a beautiful wedding. Natalie gave us upgrades we weren’t even expecting, and things looked so much beautiful than I could ever imagine or ask for. She also helped us referring some great vendors, so everything went smoothly. I didn’t eat much, but the food was delicious! Avi completely customized our brunch menu. I highly recommend Sandhill!
My wedding here was, simply put, perfect. The entire team (Avi, Tracy, Chloe, just to name a few!) is so willing to help and easy to work with. The food is gourmet quality and the ...
spaces (both indoor and outdoor) are stunning. It was raining on my wedding day, and I still had a beautiful ceremony indoors- it looked as though we were in a mansion! What a wonderful experience!
We hosted our wedding reception with Sandhill Crane Golf Club in February 2022 and had booked them about a year prior after we were presented their great packages. At the beginning...
, it was like they had ghosted us, we paid our initial deposit and didn’t even get an email until I had reached out about 6-8 months later. I had to reach out multiple times in the prior months to our wedding just to make sure they still accepted us as clients. Granted, any wedding venue was busy due to the influx, I just figured you’d get at least a welcome email if you just dropped 10-15k on something. We got some communication back and decided to try and reach out to their manager for insight and clarification as to why I’d have to try and text 5 times in a span of a week or so before getting a response for things as simple as what next steps looked like (even a hello or acknowledgement that we existed) and got redirected to the owner of the restaurant/club and he painted us out to be a liar and essentially making it seem like we were crazy. (Not a great feeling btw when you never complain about anything and just wanted them to do right by you).
The actual wedding day was beautiful and the event space was absolutely gorgeous, the food was good and the vendors they recommended were amazing.
The morning of the wedding, a lady brought us breakfast, which was incredibly kind but made some passive comments about how our hair/makeup lady was taking up too much space and she had nowhere to put the food. Firstly, without asking kindly enough to move things so there would be space. Secondly, in front of all of us and putting a downer on our excited attitudes.
The only other thing that stuck out to us was the ‘personal assistants’ they offered me as a bride - one of them was new and the kindest lady I’ve ever met but the second one had major attitude and kept making passive comments to our photographer about how she had to be supervised and how she wasn’t allowed to do this & that. Felt like we were being micro-managed when she/we weren’t even doing anything wrong… again not a great feeling on your already stressful wedding day.
Overall, it wasn’t a horrible experience, but I would probably would explore options outside of Sandhill. They weren’t the worst, but overall, any kind of customer service is rough and not something you’d want to deal with on the most important day of your life.

staff. My now-wife, Ashley, and I chose The Sandhill Crane Golf Club as our wedding venue location after touring 15-20 other venue options in the Palm Beach County & surrounding areas.
What sold us on The Sandhill Crane Golf Club was a combination of several factors. Firstly, the clubhouse just underwent a full remodel/renovation and they final product is astounding. Grand, elegant, classy, upscale, immaculate, brand new and spacious are the best words I can use to describe. Secondly, when we went to tour The Sandhill Crane Golf Club, we felt comfortable & instantly connected with the Catering Manager who became our main POC, Ashley Rubano.
Unlike several of the places that we toured, which many seem stuffy/snobby/lacking flexibility/take it or leave it type attitude, Ashley Rubano with Sandhill Crane CG was genuine, patient and willing to listen to WHAT WE WANTED. Thirdly, what we loved about The Sandhill Crane Golf Club was that they were very straightforward and fair. Many of the venues we considered prior to finding The Sandhill Crane Golf Club had “hidden fees” and “plus, plus, plus” on top of the cost per person price (which included only food and bar). At The Sandhill Crane Golf Club, the cost per person price covered nearly everything for the entire booking (valet, bartenders, set-up, linens, chairs, flatwear, etc. was all included).
As person who typically over-analyzes every little thing, my now-wife, Ashley, myself and her parents sat down and weighed pro’s and con’s and made a “big picture” decision on the best venue to move forward with. Of the 15-20 places we toured, The Sandhill Crane Golf Club took the cake by offering the best atmosphere, service, location and value. We wouldn’t have changed a thing.
Food was incredible! The beef and chicken entrée choices received great feedback from all our guests! The appetizers and hor d'oeuvres were stellar. Everything executed perfectly!
Additionally, the SCGC staff went above and beyond by offering to shuttle the bride/groom and our photographers in a golf cart on the golf course for 20-30 minutes of beautiful natural landscape photos on our wedding day!
To The Sandhill Crane Catering Manager Ashley Rubano and all management/staff… On behalf of Ashley Post and myself, along with the Grupp/Post families and all guests that attended, thank you for helping make our wedding a night to remember.
SANDHILL CRANE GOLF CLUB, ASHLEY RUBANO AND ALL STAFF… WE LOVE YOU!!!
