This place was great. Huge shout out to Nicole!!!! She is the director of sales and catering, and she was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was on top of everything and did an amazing job to keep things running smoothly, even with a little rain right before the ceremony! She was very accommodating and made planning so much easier.
The food was also fantastic! Not only did we think it was delicious, we received many compliments from our guests. The wait staff was great too. Everything went smooth throughout the day and into the night, and I know it had a lot to do with the staff taking care of so much. From food prep and serving to drinks and clean up everything was made easier because this staff and venue.

Southview was the perfect venue for our wedding reception! We had a great experience working with Southview from start to finish. We worked with Nicole and Sharlee, and they were both so friendly and professional, and they made us feel so at ease through the process! They were also very prompt in responding to e-mails and phone calls, which was much appreciated. We were very pleased with their meal selection and that they were able to make all the food gluten free, even the dinner rolls, at no additional charge! The staff was also very helpful in setting up for the reception, and we were able to get into the room the day before to set up, which was amazing and alleviated any last minute stress. Sharlee also came in early the day-of to receive delivery of our cake and cupcakes! The ballroom is beautiful, and our guests also enjoyed the outdoor patio during the evening. We loved having our dance floor beneath the high vaulted ceiling! My husband and I were also very impressed by the punctuality of the catering staff on the day-of. The salad course and entrees were brought out efficiently according to our timeline, and we were so pleased that guests weren't left waiting for their food. I had Top Sirloin and my husband had Herb Seared Salmon, and both were to die for! Guests raved about the appetizers and their meals, as well! I was told by quite a number of guests it was the best wedding food they'd ever had!
Their pricing is affordable, the food is fantastic, and the staff are a pleasure to work with. The grounds are also immaculate, and our photos are going to be absolutely stunning. We had such a perfect day, and it wouldn't have been possible without Nicole, Sharlee, and the Southview team that made it the success it was. We highly recommend Southview to any couple looking for a gorgeous and elegant venue with wonderful food and service. Thanks again for helping make our day run so smoothly!

We loved working with Southview for our wedding! They were always quick to answer questions, despite a few changes in staff during our planning process. They were great at helping us plan details that made the wedding truly our own. We have heard from many guests that the food was their favorite wedding meal ever! We completely agree that the meal was amazing. They were extremely helpful making sure we could accommodate our guests' dietary needs as well. The whole venue is beautiful and neat. Southview also went above and beyond to allow us to set up on Friday night and then boxing up all the decorations for us so that when we came to clean on Sunday all we had to do was pick up the boxes. They had all the details correct and made the wedding way less stressful!

Southview Country Club made it SO easy on us as I was trying to find venues when I was out-of-state. They were flexible in meeting with us and had FABULOUS food. They also had great service to find specialty craft beer that my husband and I wanted, which was a nice touch to serve our guests! They made our day very special and worry-free.

It was nice. Only thing is that both of the ladies that were part of the planning for the venue left more than half way through the wedding planning. Didn’t have the consistency but the last person, Nicole, was awesome.

My intended reception place had a fire, and it just so happened that Southview had an opening! I’m so glad my reception was at Southview! Staff was very helpful. There was only one little complaint, but it was because of the rushed planning due to the fire and a switch in staff-our ceiling draping didn’t make it onto the contract, so during our day before walk through the CC had no idea what we were talking about when we asked when the draping would be hung—but Crystal went immediately to her office and called every company that does draping and thanks to her hard work we did have draping for our reception!
It’s been about 2 months since the wedding and people are STILL raving about the food! We had a breakfast buffet which some of my older guests were weirded out about...but once they ate it they changed their minds! :)
The rooms were beautiful. The deck was great to use (and the original CC we wanted didn’t have that feature! See things happen for a reason)
We were given some golf carts to take pictures of the wedding party on the beautiful grounds.
Highly highly recommended! Thanks Southview!

We had our reception at Southview on 8/4/18 and it was nothing short of AMAZING!! Kathy was an absolute gem to work with and covered all of our bases. She made it very easy to get ahold of her especially when last minute things changed! Everything turned out perfect and the night was completely stress free and outstanding! The venue itself was also breathtaking and will make for some pretty beautiful pictures! I would give Kathy, her team, and the venue more than 5 stars if that was possible! A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone at this venue!!

I truly don't have words. De Anna is an absolute angel and we couldn't have planned our wedding without her! We chose Southview Country Club because of how gorgeous the space was and because of her. She was so prompt with emails and captured our vision perfectly! We got married October 7th 2017 and we are still getting compliments a month later of how gorgeous our outdoor ceremony was, how amazing the food was and how smooth the day went! My mom raves about De Anna to everyone. She helped her handle being the mother of the bride and was there for us throughout the whole day. Through my tears, laughs and all the chaos in between, without a doubt, I would HIGHLY recommend Southview Country club. We seated about 150 guests on the patio comfortably for our outdoor ceremony and 200+ in the Andrews room for the reception, with room to spare! The location is tucked away from busy roads, it was almost like we were hidden but still in the metro area! My husband and I are so very thankful for all the staffs hard work because they truly went above and beyond! Thank you De Anna and Southview Country Club!

We had the BEST experience for our wedding reception at Southview. De Anna is amazing to work with and very professional and friendly. She always responded to my emails quickly. Any little detail I would think of, she had already thought of. We received many compliments throughout the night about how great the venue was and how much fun everyone had. I would HIGHLY recommend

My experience with Southview Country Club was amazing! De Anna is so friendly and supportive and she really goes above and beyond to make sure that everything is PERFECT for your special day. Plus, the location is beautiful and they partner with some fantastic vendors.
A lot of people will turn down a country club without looking at it because they assume it is out of their price range, but Southview was competitive with every other venue I looked at.
I could not have been happier with my reception venue: Southview Country Club is AMAZING!

The best wedding decision we made, was going through Southview for our reception needs. I had a large wedding, and they were able to accommodate seamlessly. The grounds were beautiful and I am sure our pictures will show that. The ballroom itself was beautiful and didn't require much extra decorating. Most of all, De Anna was so easy to work with. She was prompt with responses and super professional throughout the process, which was stressful for me at times. I didn't have to worry about anything on the big day. Everything was taken care of for me. I would recommend this venue to everyone. Awesome awesome experience.

We had our wedding reception at Southview on August 26th, 2017 and it was nothing short of perfect. From the initial planning to the evening itself, the process was fun, painless, and exciting. The catering manager, De Anna, was the first reason we changed our minds from another venue as she has an amazing way of putting your mind at ease and turning any stresses into excitement! This was especially helpful as I was an out-of-state bride. She was accommodating of the dates we were able to make it up for our tour and tasting. And speaking of tasting, our guests could not get over how delicious the food was! The chicken Minnesota and signature potatoes were a hit and the catering staff outdid themselves with making sure the food was brought out hot. We had a last minute conundrum with our cupcake stand but we were able to use SVCC's beautiful arrangements an it ended up looking better than our original plan. There was another event going on at the same time which I was initially nervous about, but had I not been aware of this beforehand I would have never known. I could go on an on about how great everyone was to work with so I'll leave it at this; If you're contemplating touring or booking Southview for your wedding ceremony/reception venue, just do it. It was the BEST wedding decision I made, second to who I chose to marry :) Thank you for going above and beyond, and for making our day more than we could have ever imagined!

I really, truly cannot say enough about how WONDERFUL Southview Country Club, ALL of their staff and the venue itself were! DeAnna was absolutely wonderful to work with from beginning to end and beyond accommodating to all of our vendors! If I could, I would give her & Southview 10 stars because they really were that great! :) The bartenders, wait staff and the rest of the help were so kind and made sure each and every guest(all 240+ of them!) were attended to and made sure the Groom and I were happy with everything. Multiple guests told us how wonderful everything was as well! The food was wonderful and they helped tremendously with cleanup so that the Groom and I didn't have to worry about a thing. I am so very grateful we chose Southview Country Club for our reception venue!!! I will most definitely be recommending them! Thank you again!!!! :)

We recently had our wedding reception here and I cannot begin to describe how grateful I am to the staff at Southview for making the day so wonderful. From day one I knew we made the right choice for our venue. De Anna was always so prompt and clear when answering any of my many questions during the time leading up to the big day. She and her team were an absolute joy to work with, they made our vision for the day a reality, it was everything we could have hoped for and so much more. The grounds are GORGEOUS (I am so in love with our photos), the food is amazing, and the club is full of wonderful people, willing and ready to help make a bride and groom feel like the most important people to ever step foot inside. Our guests are still giving us compliments about the day! I truly cannot say enough good things about the Southview staff. We would recommend this place again and again for anyone getting married or looking for a place to hold an important event!!!

"Thank you" doesn't begin to explain how grateful we are to De Anna and everything she did for our wedding to make it the PERFECT day. She took all our requests in stride and happily dove in to make it happen. She is incredibly talented and has so much passion for her work and it radiates and shows constantly. If we had to do it all again, we would choose Southview every time. The staff was amazing. Sheena and Crystal were fantastic to work with. We are amazed how the Southview team went above and beyond to make it the day perfect from start to finish. THIS is a team you want behind you for your wedding day, no doubt about it.
Also --- so many compliments on the food from our guests! Kudos to the culinary team.
We love Southview!!

Southview Country club was absolutely amazing for my wedding reception!! We did things a little bit differently, we had a destination wedding and then held a reception back home for all of our guests that couldn't make it, approximately 200 people attended at Southview. De Anna the event coordinator was amazing- she was very flexible with our schedule since we were out of town the week before our reception. Everything went perfect, I couldn't have asked for a better day, from arrival, to taking a few photos on the grounds at sunset, cocktail hour, the food (we were in Mexico for our wedding and we were able to do a taco and fajita meal), dancing, etc. Everything went smoothly. De Anna worked so well with the DJ and photographers that I brought in- everyone worked together as a team, which allowed everything to go so smooth! I have also attended work events at Southview Country Club and have never had a bad experience. Wonderful venue!!!!

Wow. I can't imagine my day going more perfectly. De Anna is amazing! I felt so at ease. I had a bunch of tasks that I didn't get done before the big day and I left it for the southview staff to do. I arrived and everything was PERFECT. They were always there when I had small tasks and were on top it. They really put a bride at ease!!! The staff was so courteous the day of. They were so attentive to all my guests. De Anna is every bride's dream. She really is the best. The course is beautiful and we were able to take golf carts out with our photographer and videographer on the course. So many GORGEOUS photo shots.

De Anna was beyond wonderful, she was prompt with answering questions, to understanding our "vision". All of the staff at Southview were willing to help in ANY way possible. Throughout the months leading up to the wedding til the end of the event, we felt completely taken care of. Special requests were made possible and always able to happen. All we can say is THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

Southview was a fantastic venue to host our November 7 wedding reception! The ballroom is so classy and comfortable, the food fantastic, and the service outstanding. We received endless comments from our guests that this was the best wedding they've ever attended! We wouldn’t change a single thing about our experience with Southview. De Anna Paulette was fantastic to work with from our first tour of Southview to the follow up email she sent the week after our wedding. Planning a large event can be stressful, but every interaction with De Anna (phone, email, and in person) left me feeling happy and relaxed – she and the Southview staff know exactly what needs to happen to put on an outstanding event! It was so great to feel such confidence in De Anna and the venue – I went into our wedding day with zero worries, and everything went beautifully! We cannot say enough how wonderful our wedding day was, due to the outstanding service of De Anna and the staff at Southview!

Our wedding reception took place at SVCC. We absolutely loved it. It was beautiful and were able to get many great pictures on the golf course and inside the venue. All the staff their was amazing and made sure that everything that we needed was their and for us to use. De Anna the event corrdinator was very knowledgable,and always willing to help with any questions you need answered regarding the venue. I could not have picked a better place to have our reception. The food was amazing. We did a Italian buffet and the guest had nothing but great things to say about the food. The venue was very spacious and we also had excess to the patio that was right off of the ball room we used. The view on the patio was pretty of the greenery from the golf course. We are very happy we made the decision to have our reception at SVCC and would definetly recommend having a reception their to anyone.

Our guests for our daughter's wedding were as impressed with Southview as we were. The floor space provided comfortable seating for 240 guests and it was nice to have a separate space for the dance so that no one had to give up their table to make room for dancing. DeAnna and the rest of the staff were so helpful and willing to assist as needed. The food was fantastic and we received many rave reviews on it. The patio provided a nice get away for a quiet spot to visit. The photographer enjoyed taking pictures on the beautiful grounds outside. Thanks Southview for helping provide a memorable day!

SVCC is a phenomenal place for a reception. The grounds were absolutely perfect for wedding pictures. The patio was a great option for our guests to use. The service from De Anna and her staff was impeccable. Everything went so smoothly. The meetings prior to our reception helped get everyone on the same page. In addition to all of that, I have never heard more comments from our guests about how amazing the food was. Everyone was a part of the clean plate club at our wedding. Again, a top notch place to have a wedding reception. We couldn't have been happier!

When I first met with the coordinator at the Country Club I knew instantly that this was the perfect place to get married. The staff was very friendly and catered to our special needs. The day of the wedding went very smoothly being the bride I didn't have anything to worry about on that day. Whatever questions or concerns I did have they were taken care of or answered right away. My night went perfectly I could not ask for better service and food. I was very happy with the venue and the price I paid. Worth every penny. I would recommend this place to anybody who is getting married!

Southview was a great venue to work with. They were very accommodating of our requests to make this reception truly unique for us!
Location: Easy to get to for our guests and just a few miles from our church and families.
Space: Just enough space for our 250+ guests to be comfortable. Formal dining room, large dance floor and the bar is conveniently located for everyone.
Food: We decided to go with a buffet and were able to choose a nice variety to please everyone. The food was amazing! I'm still getting compliments on it! We also had display appetizers that were set up beautifully.
Price: Our price included room fee, dance floor, buffet and appetizers for 260+ guests, hosted beer and wine, ceiling draping, full service catering staff, taxes and service fee. It was less than we expected for being a Country Club that we don't belong to, especially when compared to other country clubs in the area that we inquired about.
Service: The Catering Director was more than helpful and knows her job well. She was great to work with and available whenever we had questions. The staff was also very helpful and had the venue set perfectly.
If I had to do it again, there isn't much I would change which I don't think most brides can say in hindsight. One bit of advice I will give to brides choosing their venue is to go with the recommended vendors that the venue suggests. They are the experts, and they know who works well and who does not in their space. I say this because we would have gone with their suggested DJ because ours wasn't set up properly for the space and difficult for most guests to hear.
Thanks Southview!

From day 1 I knew I wanted Southview as our venue. De Anna was amazing. Every time I spoke with her she put me at such ease with everything. I had no idea what I was doing and she gave me lists of things I would need and lists of things she would need from me. Day of our wedding, De Anna was there every step of the way. She's the reason my experience was so great. De Anna aside, the food was to die for. The guests of our day are still talking about the food! Everything tasted to perfection. The venue made for some gorgeous photos. All of the green, the trees and ponds made some of photos even better than I could have imagined!! I would recommend Southview to everyone. It was an outstanding experiance. I would have just about any occasion held there!

We just had our wedding at Southview a few weeks ago! It turned out beautiful! The room is a great size and the ceiling drapery is beautiful. We had many wonderful comments about how good the food was! The wedding coordinator De Anna was fabulous to work with and made our day wonderful! I would definitely recommend this venue to any newly engaged couples!

My husband, James, and I were married on August 30th, 2014 at the Church of the Assumption in downtown Saint Paul and held our reception at Southview Country Club in West Saint Paul. From the moment we stepped into Southview and met De Anna, we knew this place was the perfect venue! De Anna put our minds at ease as her organized plans kept us on schedule with food tastings, table layouts, guest counts, and everything in between down to the smallest details throughout the entire planning process. She even put together our timeline which we were able to give to all of our vendors.
On our big day Julie was running the event as De Anna was in a wedding on the same day as our wedding. Julie and the staff were exceptional during the reception and everything had turned out exactly as we had hoped. The grounds of the course are beautiful and there are flowers in everything windowsill at the club. The patio was very pretty and the rooms inside were gorgeous with the twinkle lights and ceiling drapes. The food was awesome (I keep hearing from people how good the food was) and the staff were very friendly and thoughtful throughout the night. They recently added a brand new dance floor which was occupied all night long! Our guests are still telling us our wedding reception was the most fun one they had ever been to.
We highly recommend Southview as the perfect place to hold your wedding reception. We guarantee planning the reception party will be the part of the planning process you worry the least about - all because De Anna and the Southview staff are a dream to work with.

My husband and I were married on June 14, 2014. I will be honest in saying that Southview was initially not the first place I had in mind as our reception venue. However, once we walked into the country club, saw the ballroom, and met with the wedding coordinator, DeAnna, I absolutely knew it was the right place for us.
From that first meeting to the tasting to emailing the most random questions, Southview and DeAnna took amazing care of us and were so accommodating to our requests, concerns, and needs. There was a miscommunication at one point over how we had understood the menu and cost of something and DeAnna went out of her way to make it right and make sure we were happy. This went a long way with my fiance as well as my parents! :)
I cannot say enough good things about DeAnna! I cannot imagine working with a different coordinator and was continuously impressed with the level of professionalism and ease in which DeAnna worked with us through the entire process. She made us feel like we were her sole priority, despite the fact that she had a million other things going on and always did so with a genuine smile on her face.
As we neared the time of the wedding, DeAnna had such a sweet way of making me feel sane, despite me feeling like I was going crazy with wedding planning and making detailed charts of how I wanted things to be. When anyone else would have looked at me like I had worms crawling out of my ears, DeAnna simply looked at me with a smile on her face and made sure she was clear on the plan. Her biggest goal was to make sure I was happy and that things were executed exactly as I had envisioned to ensure I had the wedding of my dreams and we absolutely did! The other piece is that DeAnna was never pushy or overbearing, which is something I was actually worried about. She let us lead the way but was there every inch of the way to support us and answer our questions, without trying to push anything extra on us or do anything just because she thought it was better than something we had come up with. This meant a lot to me and my fiance.
The food was great, service was excellent, and everything ran more smoothly than I could have ever imagined, thanks simply to DeAnna and her team at Southview. I keep looking back at pictures and thinking about the day and it doesn't even seem real to me! It was truly the best day of our lives and so much of that is thank to Southview!
For anyone who has gotten married or is in the process of getting married, you understand some of the stress and craziness involved and the fact that you can have someone on your side to make sure everything goes as planned and you are happy and able to enjoy the process without extra stress!
I am so thankful we went with Southview and we sincerely couldn't have asked to work with a better site or coordinator! We highly recommend this site and DeAnna for any reception!

We used Southview CC for our son's wedding in August 2014. Everything from start to finish was fantastic. De Anna and Julie do a great job in helping the couple coordinate the day. The food was wonderful and the service staff/bartenders were great. We used recommended vendors also and they did not disappoint. All in all Southview is a great venue with professional staff and we would highly recommend them!

I had the most wonderful experience with southview! First off De Anna is the sweetest most helpful wedding coordinator! Any question I had or concern she got back to me super fast and did everything in her power to make our day extra special! The day of the wedding some of my guests came early and the southview staff was very friendly and accommodating, furthermore the dinner and service was fantastic! I had multiple guests say how much they loved the food and the staff and how beautiful the venue was. I highly recommend SCC for any bride!

Southview Country Club was truly amazing. Our experience was everything we had hoped for, thanks to De Anna Paulette! She made all of our dreams come true, just as she promised. It was more beautiful and perfect than I could have ever imagined!
From the first time we met with De Anna, she was so understanding of what our dreams were for our special day. She communicated with both myself and my mom on a very regular basis. Living in Rochester, it was sometimes challenging to plan our wedding in the Twin Cities, but not when it came to planning our reception. De Anna took care of ALL of the details, and always emailed or called with updates. I never hesitated to go to her with questions or changes. She accommodated our every wish and desire with a truly caring manner. She did everything in her power to make our day as special as it could be. When we were putting the final touches together and finishing final details with De Anna, she was very thorough and very complete. I never questioned where any of the costs came from; she gave them to us up front. Nothing was hidden or secret, there were no surprises when it came to the cost.
At this time of the year (and all year round!), the golf course is absolutely beautiful. They do such a wonderful job making the course nothing less than amazing. From the flowers to the trees and even the grass, everything was gorgeous. Our photographers got some amazing photos of us on and around the greens, trees and flowers. The scenery was to die for!
The food at our reception was nothing less of spectacular. We gave our guests the options of a sirloin steak, served as we requested, with the infamous Southview stuffed potatoes and asparagus, broasted chicken with stuffed potatoes and asparagus, as well as a vegetarian meal of grilled vegetable skewers with quinoa and a red pepper glaze. All of our meals were prepared gluten-free, per our request. The comments about the food and the atmosphere are still coming our way! Everyone had the most amazing experience at Southview Country Club.
None of this amazing experience could have been possible without the help from all of the staff at Southview! Thank you, thank you, thank you to the staff for accommodating our every need, request and desire; I truly had no worries in the world on the day of our wedding! If I could do it all over again, I would not change one thing, especially choosing Southview Country Club to host our wedding reception.

We had our wedding at Southview Country Club on October 12th, 2013 and cannot say enough great things about the venue itself, its staff, the management, the food, the execution, the follow up etc. etc.! We worked mostly with De Anna Paulette who is their Catering Manager and she was absolutely fantastic. She was so helpful in the decision making process and was an absolute gem on the big day. My husband and I, the bridal party and all of the guests had a wonderful time and raved about the food and service. We highly recommend Southview Country Club!!!

Southview was perfect for my reception! De Anna was so helpful and resourceful. She was in contact the entire time and responded to emails right away. When I told her my vision she made it happen, offered suggestions, solutions and told me she could make anything I want happen. We took pictures on the course early in the day and De Anna was there to help with what ever she could. When we arrived back at Southview later that evening the candy buffet was set up, candles lit and the waiters walking around with plates full of bacon! My guests loved the bacon appetizer! We wanted our wedding to be all about us and it was from the bacon appetizers, candy buffet, flowers and elegant atmosphere of Sothview. I would recommend Southview to any one looking for an event location.

We could not have asked for a better venue. From start to finish Southview took care of everything better then we had imagined. Their staff from the servers to the GM where professional and very attentive. DeAnna the catering director came on after we booked Southview. She took charge like she had been there for years. I'm still amazed how easy it was to have a wedding here. She coordinated a private tasting with the chef and got to meet him personally. Chef Steve was amazing and everyone raved about our apps and entree. The thing we heard most afterward from our guests was that everyone felt like they were treated like royalty...not just me. They were greeted with apps and drinks upon entering the venue and were attended to throughout. I loved the outdoor patio space that had access to the ballroom. The "separate" room for the dance floor worked out great so we didn't have to break down tables. Really pretty scenery for outdoor pics also. We will remain social members because of the amazing staff and food! Thank you DeAnna and the Southview staff!!

My fiancé and I got engaged on December 31, 2012 and set a wedding date for July 20, 2013. We knew we needed to find a location quickly and are so glad Southview Country Club was on our ‘list’ and available. De Anna made our entire wedding planning experience comfortable, smooth, and enjoyable. She was always calm, confident, and quick to follow-up; we knew our wedding was in good hands with De Anna behind the scenes. The entire staff at Southview was professional and friendly. The facilities were beautiful, current, and clean. The food was absolutely delicious; we actually had a hard time deciding what choices to offer. The members were always pleasant and polite. When our wedding day arrived we were able to enjoy a wonderful day with family and friends without having to worry about details or the schedule. The vision we had planned with De Anna was executed perfectly. We cannot count the number of compliments we received from our guests and we know De Anna and Southview played a huge role in the success of our day. Thank you De Anna and Southview Country Club; you made the dreams of our wedding day come true!

We used Southview Country Club for our June 2013 wedding reception. They were great to work with and made all the planning very easy on us! The food was excellent, the venue itself was clean, well laid out and had plenty of room for our 225 guests. The service we received at the reception was top notch, the staff was very attentive to us and addressed the few concerns we had in a prompt manner. We opted to forego chair covers/ceiling drapery, but the room still looked beautiful! I would definitely use Southview for future events and certainly recommend this venue to any couples considering them for their wedding reception, you won't be disappointed!

Our wedding couldn't have been more perfect. The staff at southview were amazing in every way. De Anna especially handled everything so I didn't have to worry about anything on the day of the event. Our guests talked and talked about how amazing the food was and went back for second and thirds. My husband and myself also LOVED the food. The grounds are simply breathtaking. Our pictures turned out amazing and a big reason for this was because of the incredibly beautiful landscaping and grounds. We had a fantastic time and I simply cannot say enough about southview and the staff and service. Excellent, excellent, excellent. If you choose southview for your wedding you are guaranteed an incredible day.
