So this review might be long, but if you’re considering having your wedding at Shenandoah Valley Golf Club (SVGC), it’s worth a read. My husband and I live in Hawaii, so we knew having a wedding in Virginia would be a bit more complicated than usual. However, after speaking extensively with Jen, the manager, and after my maid of honor went to check out the place, we were confident we were in good hands. Well, Jen left soon after we signed our contract, which in hindsight was a red flag, but we contacted the new management to ensure our contract (and discount) remained valid. There was a lot of miscommunication and a lot of stress but finally Tracey took over and ensured us that they were there to help make our day everything we wanted. Tracey was so friendly and good at communicating, and we were able to setup an in-person visit in May when we were in the area. We questioned getting a day-of-coordinator and were told their team are day of coordinators so it was not necessary. The venue itself is gorgeous, the ballroom is beautiful, and the food by Chef Dan is absolutely incredible.
We made decisions based on everything that was offered in our contract, including two houses on site that our whole bridal party was going to be staying at. This was extremely important to us as we rarely get to see our family and friends living so far away. Our plan was to have the guys get ready at the Fairview House and the girls get ready at The Cottage to avoid seeing each other the day of. Unfortunately, the modern second house (The Cottage) was no longer available due to renovations, but after expressing how disappointed we were, the other house was offered to us at no charge for our whole stay. We debated on just staying at the hotel, but ultimately the money we would be saving (after spending so much on the venue) was a no brainer. The Fairview house is a historic property, so understandably it is going to be dated, but we would never stay in the house again (even for free). The convenience of being located right next to the ballroom was fantastic, but it looked as if it was not cleaned in years. There were dead bugs everywhere, the windows were disgusting, and we had to be as careful as possible with my white dress on the dirty floor.
Our wedding was on October 3rd and there was a huge golf tournament with golfers everywhere, but we were promised that the tournament would be completely done by 3 pm, one hour before our ceremony. That did not happen. Not only were golfers and staff close by for our first look (which was distracting), there was a giant group of guys on the back patio with clear views of our ceremony. As guests arrived at the ceremony, during processional music and announcements by our officiant, the guys could be heard. Many guests commented and questioned what was going on. My husband was also being hollered at as he walked down “Don’t do it” and “There’s so much more to live for”, etc. All jokes, but not something you want to hear on your wedding day from a bunch of strangers. Even as we were standing at the altar, the golf tournament group was making announcements over a loud speaker. At the very least, staff at SVGC should have told them to stay quite during the ceremony, which literally lasted 10 minutes. We are just hoping our wedding video comes back with no hollering or golf announcements in the background.
Although the bridal party was told they would be cued when to walk, they were left with no instructions. Golf carts were provided for guests needing assistance, but unfortunately that even fell short and some guests did not feel prioritized. It felt as if there was little to no coordinating the whole day, but thankfully during the reception our DJ Rick Rohn took over and saved the day. So many promises were made and broken, like special sides of mac and cheese served to just my husband and I because we were having trouble deciding on a side. Yes, it’s something small, but as a couple who have an unhealthy obsession with mac and cheese, this is one of many things we were really looking forward to that we did not get to experience.
Yes, it’s a golf course, so golfers are expected, but as a venue that offers wedding services, we expected more privacy, more coordination, and much more professionalism. If you’re looking for a private space to have a wedding, which I would image most people are, this is NOT the place. This venue is a public golf course and although many promises were made to ensure our day was private and went smooth, we are left looking back at how much better our day could have been at a different venue. Our day was very special and all of our guests enjoyed themselves, but we were very disappointed with SVCG on the day of the wedding. Overall the two stars goes to the venue itself, not our actual day, which was made much better because of our other vendors, our hardworking bridal party and family, and all the effort we put into making our day special.
My now husband and I had been working with SVGC for some time since we shifted our wedding date out a year. The previous administration here we were fine with, although there were some clerical errors made in our favor.
Once the new administration team came on board they said she could not find our original contract, which is not necessarily on them. We had several communication issues, they started changing policies, we were supposed to get the cottage and then they started doing renovations on it and thought the equivalent would be a hotel room, so many things were forgotten in communication, it just became too difficult to communicate with them that we hired a day of coordinator. I’m skipping a lot of details to really just get this over with, but if you for whatever reason choose to book your wedding here, make sure you have everything in writing but even then it still may difficult to keep things honored because of “new policies” and changes. Even though I made a seating chart for my wedding, the chairs were set up wrong the day prior in the wrong spot my day of coordinator communicated to them. Family and the groom had to step in to help, I didn’t see them trying to fix the chairs when it was their job to do so. I will say the food was delicious after I gave my feedback to the Chef, he did amazing!! Really disappointed that we feel this towards the venue that hosted our wedding but we are relieved to be finished working with SVGC.
Beautiful space and delicious food! Janet was very helpful and responded to my many emails :) we rented both houses on site for the weekend which was very helpful. The venue didn’t require us to hire day of coordinators, but I would definitely recommend hiring them so you can fully enjoy your day
We got married at Shenandoah Valley Golf Club on June 11, 2022 and it was an overall great experience. There are two houses on property that you can rent to get ready in and both provide opportunities for great getting ready pictures. There are two ceremony sites and both are beautiful. We got married on the one with a concert pad. Originally there was a fence that blocked the parking lot, but due to an accident the fence feel down. The venue is not replacing the fence, but instead having natural greenery grown up to block the parking lot from view. We believe this resulted in even better pictures than if the fence still would’ve been there! The wedding coordinators there are great to work with and very flexible. The biggest highlight of having your wedding here is the FOOD! Our guest are still raving about how good dinner was. We are so glad we had our ceremony and reception here. Compared to the other venues we looked at and have attended weddings at, this one is by far the best in the Shenandoah valley!
This location is gorgeous, with two beautiful outdoor ceremony locations to select from. There are two houses to rent on-site which makes finding a location to get ready at and/or stay the night of your wedding painless. Janet and Rhonda are AMAZING to work with. They are both incredibly nice, respectful, accommodating, and easily adjust wherever needed. The food portions are incredible for the reception and they go above and beyond to create a nice dining experience for your vendors by the DJ/band stage so that they also feel like they are part of the wedding (please always feed your vendors, newlyweds-to-be). We will never forget the amazing memories we made here.
Great service! Professional, kind, and understanding
Shenandoah Valley Golf Club was so great to work with for our wedding. From booking to coordinating the day of schedule, Janet Maucione (Events & Catering Coordinator) has been professional, responded quickly, and answered any questions. Being affordable is a bonus but their great service makes using SVGC the best choice. When we had to reschedule just two weeks before our original date, Janet was so understanding and helped us find a new date. I'm so glad that we were able to finally get married at SVGC. The staff were friendly and attentive. They worked well with my other vendors. The views of the mountains are gorgeous! Guests are still raving about the portions and taste of the food. Being able to stay onsite the night before and of the wedding was so convenient. This is a premiere venue in the Shenandoah Valley for anyone looking for their dream wedding with mountain views, great food and drinks, and an awesome event team that cares about YOUR day.
I cannot say enough good things about the staff at SVGC! We got married on 9/16/17 and the wedding was better than anything I could have ever imagined. We booked the venue a year in advance and Janet was extremely helpful in that entire time leading up to our wedding; answering my questions in a timely manner, providing suggestions based off of her experiences with so many other weddings, and she was just so accommodating and friendly. She was an absolute joy to work with! The execution the day of the wedding was flawless! My guests continually rave about how everything went off without a hitch. The staff made sure that we stuck to our timeline and they were all was so professional and friendly. And the food! I still have guests reaching out to me to tell me that the crab cakes were the best they have ever had. All crab and no filler! Everything was delicious!
What I love most about using SVGC as our venue is that it was truly a one-stop shop and made wedding planning so much easier. They have both a ceremony and reception site, they take care of the catering (food and alcohol), they already have the tables, chairs, plates, linens, etc. so you may not have to rent anything, it’s a picture perfect location nestled in the valley with mountains in the background, and not to mention the Fairview House was the perfect place for the bridal party to get ready the day of the wedding. We rented the house for the weekend and my groom and his groomsmen all spent the night there the night before the wedding and then the day of the wedding, they stayed downstairs and me and my bridesmaids stayed upstairs and got dressed. Not to mention that after the wedding, my parents even stayed at the house. It was so convenient!
So if you’re looking for your wedding venue, look no further! It’s everything you could ever want and more!
My husband and I were very pleased with this venue chosen for our wedding reception in April 2014. The site is a beautiful, elegant, and hospitable facility located among the green rolling hills of the Shenandoah valley, with wonderful views through the many surrounding windows. The manager, Janet, was very helpful, professional, and easy to work with. The dinner was delicious and nicely served by polite staff in tux shirts. We also rented outside linens, bought a cake and other desserts, brought in flowers, and hired a DJ, all of which worked well into this venue.
We recently had our reception at the Shenandoah Valley Golf Club and it was amazing! Janet, the banquet manager, was easy to work with and her staff was wonderful. Janet took care of everything during the reception and did not make me feel stressed at all. All of the guests also loved the food thanks to the wonderful chef they have. It was an amazing night that we'll never forget!
My daughter was married in August of 2015, and the reception was held at Shenandoah Valley Golf Club. The facility is top notch and the staff does an excellent job. The banquet manager has been with them for a long time and is extremely competent at planning and managing an event of more than a hundred people. She had it planned down to the minute and the reception ran like clockwork. No detail was overlooked. The food was excellent and the presentation and service was stellar.
One of the nice features of this venue is the Fairview House, which is a bed and breakfast located on the grounds. I booked it for the entire weekend and we were able to use it for the bride and groom and a couple of out of town guests. We were also able to host a small reception for family and close friends in the public room of the Fairview House. This made a nice event even nicer.
Overall, I was very satisfied the club. In fact, I had several people tell me that ours was the best wedding reception they had ever attended. If you are looking for a venue in the Front Royal - Winchester area, I highly recommend Shenandoah Valley Golf Club.
The Shenandoah Valley Golf Club was the perfect place to have our reception! The mountain views are spectacular, the event space is beautiful and the staff was wonderful. Janet, the banquet manager, was extremely on top of everything throughout the entire planning process, and on the night of the reception, she handled everything so well! We are thrilled with the event and our guests were wowed by the entire event. The food was very delicious, too! I'd highly recommend this venue for anyone wanting to capture the charm of the Shenandoah Valley. Plus, the terrace provides an opportunity for people to enjoy the outdoors if the weather is nice, but the view is just as pretty if you're inside. Thanks for a dream wedding reception, SVGC!
If you want your wedding reception to be classy and fun then I would highly recommend Shenandoah Valley Golf Club! Janet and Rhonda were absolutely amazing throughout the entire planning process and they made the whole evening run so smoothly. The service throughout the night was great! All of our guests enjoyed the night. They did their job without being noticed and did a great job at it! So happy that we found this gem in Front Royal! The experience was incredible and the amazing view topped it all off!
This venue was absolutely wonderful. What drew me to this place was the most amazing view and well kept greens in northern VA. I had looked a so many places and when I walked in the door and saw the view from the reception area I looked at my fiancé and said this is it!! I hadn't even asked about cost, but knew this was it! The price is exceptionally low for such a magnificent venue. The staff and most Importantly the wedding planner JANET was the most wonderful, helpful, hardworking, veteran who knows what she's doing and made the entire process so easy, stress free and PERFECT! I can't say enough how grateful I am for this venue and its employees. Janet did so much for us, and guided us through it all...never once did she make me feel like she was trying to "sell" us on extras or anything of the sort. I honestly cannot tell you a single thing I would have changed going back, and that says a lot!
The venue is beautiful. We had both our wedding ceremony and reception at Shenandoah Valley Golf Club. The outdoor space is stunning for a wedding ceremony, with the historic Fairview House as the backdrop for your special day. The banquet room is spacious and beautiful, with a lovely terrace overlooking the mountains. The room had tons of space for guests to enjoy dinner, as well as a very large area for dancing. (Unlike some places, that put a tiny removable dance floor in a ballroom-- half the room at SVGC is wood floor, perfect for dancing!) Everyone complimented the venue.
Also the FOOD was amazing. Our guests said it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding. Some even said it was the best steak they had ever had, period.
Highly recommended!!
This establishment is ridiculous. My husband and I set our date for 6.19.2015 and put the deposit down which was $1,400. 00 more than a year in advance. Today we contacted the club and let them know that they were expecting in may 2015 and would need to cancel since our priorities have changed. I asked if we could have our very large deposit back since we need to focus our financial responsibility to our very unexpected child. I received an email back that told us we could NOT get our deposit back since they have turned away people for our spot. June 19th is a Friday and when she showed us her calender for next year almost every weekend was available. I am extremely disappointed because this place and the people we've met here didn't seem to be so heartless. We are now out $1,400.00 and I'm not at all ok with that.
So here's an update since my last review.:
I received another email from Janet that said she would talk to the owner, this was Monday. After no responses to my emails I called today (Friday) and was told that she did speak to the owner and the lady who sends out formal letters will be emailing me a letter today 8.29.2014 I flat out asked, will I be getting our deposit back? Her response "it's a no"!
I WILL SAY THIS AGAIN AND YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU WANT, DO NOT USE THEM!! Waste of time, the deposit it way too much to lose. God forbid you get pregnant and don't want to walk down the aisle as a whale, or something tragic happens. This organization is basically robbing us of our money for a service they did NOT provide. I'm suppose to be enjoying this pregnancy but instead I'm stressing because I'm going to have to go to court. Janet was so nice and seemed to generally care about what we wanted.... Now that we have to cancel its funny to see how that changed. The attitude and rudeness we received it absurd, especially for someone who is stealing our money. The venue is not even work a $1,400 deposit.
We were so very happy with our fall wedding taking place at Shenandoah Valley Golf Club. The weather and venue were amazing! Janet was wonderful throughout the whole process, so detailed with everything and made sure everything came together as planned. SVGC is very accomodating to things outside of the box which is very appreciated.
Stayed in the house on site the day before the wedding which was perfect...so relaxing and a great place to get ready!
We got married at one of the holes and golfers continued to play through at different markers on the same hole while we were getting married 20 feet away...that was the only bummer of the day.
Shenandoah Valley Golf Club is the perfect venue for a wedding... the view is gorgeous. The club house is perfect for a larger wedding (we have over 200 guests). We were able to get ready in the Fairview House on the property, which was fantastic (the hairdressers came to us)! I loved every aspect of having my wedding here, it was a dream come true. Janet is on top of everything and makes sure everything runs smoothly. I highly recommend Shenandoah Valley Golf Club to anyone who is looking for a perfect wedding!
I used Shenandoah Valley Golf Club as my reception location for my wedding on August 11, 2012. Janet and her staff were incredibly helpful, and were willing to work with me on whatever I wanted. Janet communicated with me the whole time, and it was a very personal experience the whole time. I never felt like "just another bride." My husband and I went and did the food selection alone, not in a big group as I have heard my friends describe about other locations. The club is located in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia and is BEAUTIFUL. They have a porch that overlooks the mountains which all of my guests loved. I also have not stopped getting compliments about the food being delicious. The pricing of the location is very reasonable for the location in northern Virginia. I would recommend this location to anyone. Thanks SVGC I will never forget my beautiful wedding!
We had some special dietary requests, and they really went all out to accommodate us. The food was delicious, and prepared exactly as we requested. The space was beautiful, and the guests raved.
I just got married 11/11/11 at this venue and it is absolutely beautiful! Everyone had a wonderful time!
Thank you very much. The weekend couldn't have been more perfect. Once the ceremony began I didn't have to worry about anything. You, JD, and all of my vendors made everything so easy. I will definitely recommend your facility to anyone.
I don't even know where to begin. We had both our ceremony and reception held at Shenandoah. The view and the reception hall sell themselves. After walking in for the first time, my parents and I were sold. Shenandoah Valleys coordinator Janet, basically my savior through the process. I am an event coordinator myself and very detail oriented and Janet was ALWAYS available for even the smallest concerns. She is so thoughtful and made me feel like I was the only bride she was working with. She went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly and she is there for the wedding to oversee everything. I didn't even need a coordinator. The food was fantastic! We had the NY strip and the salmon. I had so many guests tell us how good it was and the service was wonderful as well. Our wedding was PERFECT and all of our guests raved about Shenandoah and still do.
With how affordable the pricing is, I honestly thought that there HAD to be something I would be compromising. Luckily for us, I was wrong and Shenandoah really was one of the most memorable parts of our wedding.
My husband and I had our wedding reception at SVGC May,2011, and we could not have asked for a more perfect venue or better people to work with! Janet has everything perfectly organized, and took care of every little detail. The serving staff was friendly, polite, and helpful. Any questions I had were always answered promptly by Janet or another knowledgeable staff member. The food was good (I can't tell you how many guests commented on how amazing the baby greens salad with goat cheese and cranberries was), and the venue is just beautiful. The mountain backdrop and wrap around porch offered perfect photo opportunities! If you want good service and a beautiful location ( all at a very reasonable price) this is the place to go!!
Janet and the whole staff at SVGC just did the best job at our reception! We could not have asked for more. We were totally waited on and pampered, had excellent food, a beautiful venue and surroundings, and just were put at ease because we knew they were taking care of everything! Questions were answered quickly and efficiently. They are such professionals at SVGC and have such an outstanding reputation, I just got to enjoy the reception. Plus they have so much experience, they had worked with a good many of the other wedding vendors, so everything ran like a well oiled machine. So happy with our choice! It had been my dream to have my recpetion there since a little girl...I have to say my expectations were exceeded!
Shenandoah Valley Golf Club is a beautiful setting with excellent food and service
