Just got married this past October at the Architects and my husband and I cannot say enough good things about this venue. Brad was extremely transparent with any questions we had. He also answered all emails almost immediately. Julie helped save the day when my florist was unavailable to help set up the florals at the venue. She did an amazing job at completing my dreams of what the space would look like. Like many of the October weddings this year we had rain, however Brad, Julie and the whole Architects staff stepped in to make sure it didn't matter. Including adding in fire pits to the cocktail hour and opened a second bar inside with no additional costs. I know one of our concerns was on pricing and the possibility of additional costs being added in. However, this was not the case and as I stated above they even added things in day of and did not charge us any additional costs. We felt the pricing was extremely fair and compared to many other venues you can't beat it. Food was amazing and the views are unmatched. Would highly recommend this spot to any and all !!

We got married at Architects back in June 2023 and it truly was the BEST decision we made regarding our wedding. Everything was flawless - the venue and their flexibility and willingness to help, the incredible food, but most important the staff. Brad - the director of food and beverage - was quick to reply to questions, accommodated literally anything we needed/asked for, and genuinely cared about us as people first. And Kristin was unbelievable with all the finishing touches, made sure the day went perfectly, and helped recommend a lot of decor options to us that looked incredible. They are just the best team, and we couldn’t recommend them more!!!

I cannot say enough good things about our experience at Architects. Brad and Kristen and the whole staff were AMAZING!!! Our wedding day was honestly so perfect. They made sure everything went smoothly, and made sure we had anything we needed. They were so on top of everything from decorations to day of coordination of all of our bridal party and family members. Our wedding was everything we could’ve hoped for and more. Truly a fairytale. Thank you!!!

The Architects Golf Club was beyond amazing! Brad and Julie were so responsive during the planning process. They answered every question I had very quickly. On the day of, everything was set up beautifully the way I wanted. Kristin did a great job making sure things ran smoothly and me and my husband had everything we needed. Only downside was they lost my suitcase candy favor boxes but very small detail compared to how amazing everything else was. Would definitely recommend them again!

We had an unforgettable wedding at Architects! There was a bit of turnover in planners when we began our planning process, but Brad and Abbey made sure that we were in the best of hands. Brad was extremely responsive when I had questions, and was very accommodating and helpful with my million questions and requests! I can’t thank them enough for everything that they did to make our big day special. Our guests absolutely loved the cigar and bourbon bar, and because of the beautiful weather we got to have a fire pit outside, enjoy the tent, and ballroom space. It was very special to have the whole place to ourselves and our guests had an absolute blast. The food was great, space was great, and I absolutely recommend this venue to anyone who is considering it.

We had the most amazing wedding at the Architects Golf Club! The view is incredible, food was delicious, and having wedding packages that include your cake and drinks truly makes this venue one of a kind! Everyone who works there makes you feel special and will do anything to make sure your day goes perfectly. Brad and Abby are the best! They both were always available whenever we needed them and took all the stress away the day of the wedding to make sure everything went perfectly. We can’t thank them enough for making our wedding day so special. Everyone who attended the wedding said it was by far one of the best weddings they have been too! So thankful we choose the Architects! Would highly recommend!

We had our wedding at the Architects and everything was just amazing. From the staff to the food, there are literally no complaints. Brad was my main point of contact and at some point I joked about how he probably slept with his phone because his level of responsiveness is top tier. On the day of our rehearsal dinner and wedding day Brad and his team were extremely helpful. Our day of coordinator, Kristin, was the absolute best. I gave her decor instructions and she didn't even need them. She truly brought our vision to life and made it even better. She was also extremely attentive the entire night and made sure we were taken care of. Our guests raved about the food, which we were actually a little nervous about because our guest list was composed of so many different cultural backgrounds. We also received so many compliments on how gorgeous the venue is. Everyone kept asking how did we come across this venue.

We had our wedding on 6/25/22 at Architects Golf Club and I still can't get over how perfect the day was! The scenery was beautiful, staff was incredibly kind and helpful, and the food was delicious!
I feel like this venue is sort of a hidden gem in Warren County and is not talked about nearly enough. The pricing for the packages was EXTREMELY reasonable, the grounds are outstanding and meticulously kept, and the food is delicious (especially the cocktail hour!) our guests continue to say how beautiful the day was and how good the food was.
Brad was our main point of contact when he began working in around February/March of 2022. He was beyond helpful in answering any and all of my questions. He was prompt to respond, and if he didn't have an answer, he always followed up and got back to me.
*We did have a few hiccups in the beginning as there had been some staffing turnovers, but once Brad signed on, he promised to be there for us up until the day of and he kept his word!
I highly recommend this venue!

This will be a long and thorough accounting of my November 2021 wedding experience.
I’ll start with the good things for my Architects Golf Club (later “AGC”) wedding celebration, as the list is shorter. The “day of” food and cake were very good, and the final set up of the reception room and ceremony space were nicely done.
Now, for the reasons this should be a 1 star rating if not for the above mentioned reasons. NOTHING went according to plan at this venue. There was constant re-planning as the wedding date got closer.
The wedding was originally set for 2020, but things changed for personal reasons (death of parent) and also the pandemic dampened things for everyone’s wedding planning, so our wedding at AGC took place in 2021. We didn’t get to have a food tasting, “due to the pandemic,” so we picked all of our food selections blind. Friends getting married elsewhere and earlier in 2021 had food tastings at their NJ venues, so it’s still unclear why that was not the case at AGC.
I started preparing the details in late 2019. From that time to the wedding this month, I had dealt with 4 different venue planners and essentially had to go over the details for my big day 4 times, and things were still missed, and altered by the venue last minute. On top of dealing with 4 different planners, we weren’t notified of the change in contact person, and discovered it when we went in for our final details meeting and no one was aware we were scheduled. *enter planner #3 that was plainly a “smoother,” who quickly passed some of the details from that meeting to final venue planner #4*
Result of these staffing changes and venue missteps? 1) First, we sat out in the cold on a patio without heaters for our rehearsal dinner on a 45 degree day. Why? They rented out the indoor seating space because “no one told the staff the space was already reserved,” though it was confirmed at our meeting with planner #3. So, my wedding party ate outdoors in the freezing cold the day before my big day, and we didn’t go elsewhere since no one is local and we didn’t want to add inconveniences to our family, as we’ve experienced with this wedding venue. 2) Next, our ceremony was moved from inside in front of the fireplace, where our florist created a floral plan during a walkthrough with venue planner #2, to outdoors in the heated tent THE DAY BEFORE our wedding, and a decision was wanted on the spot. 3) Also, my table linens matching my wedding palette, planned from 2019 with planner #1, “weren’t available” when being ordered the week before the wedding. 4) Most difficult to swallow, being the reason I picked this venue aside from the mountains surround, the cocktail hour was planned to be on the main level’s “Legacy Hall” with raised pub tables and an amazing wooden bar, and florals again planned around the aesthetic, BUT a couple weeks out I was emailed: “[the] Legacy Hall had a maintenance issue last weekend and is closed for repairs. Options for your cocktail hour will be the outside tent- which will be heated, or the main foyer.” When we arrived for rehearsal, we see the Legacy Hall space repurposed as a sitting area with a big screen TV for the golfers and nothing else about the space had changed or appeared closed for any repairs. 5) The day of –

We loved the venue as soon as we saw it but it was really the excellent service which made my daughter's wedding day so wonderful.. Our coordinator Vicki helped us plan the wedding and was brilliant anticipating and providing for our needs the day of, including all the elements and ritual needed for a Jewish wedding. There was not a glitch, it was an easy day and I was able to relax and enjoy the wedding. All of the staff were professional, attentive, and truly kind. The bridal suite and groom's room are spacious and well-appointed. The menu was vegetarian/vegan and the chef rose to the challenge. Our wedding plans were COVID-safe and weather-dependent, and Architects smoothly and (invisibly to us) moved setups around to make refreshments and food available inside and out during our cocktail hour, which made everyone happy. We had the ceremony and reception in the airy tent with the lush view of waterfall, golf course and mountains in the background. Gorgeous!

I can't say enough good things about our wedding at the Architects Golf Club. Our guests raved about the food and how beautiful the ballroom was. All of the staff were fantastic to work with , especially Vicki. She communicated with us frequently and was so accommodating to last minute changes. She truly went above and beyond to ensure that our day was stress free and everything we envisioned. We are so thankful for all of her efforts and can truly say that our day was perfect and just what we wanted.

Vicki took over as our event director just a few weeks before our wedding on May 8th. To say she was amazing is an understatement. Everything from our decorations, food, cake, signature drinks, and add-ons was managed and perfected by Vicki and the amazing team at the Architects. The day went so smoothly and our guests had nothing but rave reviews to tell us about the staff and day. The stunning venue is surrounded by the most gorgeous scenery that only made our outdoor ceremony more breathtaking. We could not have asked for a more perfect wedding day, or a better coordinator at the Architects to assist in making it a dream come true!

We got married August of 2020 after we postponed our original date in May 2020 due to the pandemic. Julie Hill was extremely helpful before and during the pandemic, even when we needed to choose a backup date. We were able to constantly communicate with her about whether Architects would be open and what our options were regarding postponing and the specific restrictions in place. Julie and all the staff working on the day of our wedding were so incredibly kind, proactive, and helpful. Everything went off without a hitch! They made everything look so perfect, from setting up centerpieces and decor to making sure everything was packed up and organized for us at the end of the night. They also took every safety precaution to ensure both we and our guests were safe and healthy. They made all restrictions and expectations clear beforehand, and we felt completely at ease. We honestly cannot begin to express how grateful we are to have chosen Architects! We looked at 8 venues, and this was the only that had both a beautiful outdoor and indoor ceremony and reception. At Architects, there is an option to have both the ceremony and reception either outside on the terrace or under a covered tent, both overlooking the beautiful golf course. This was one of the main things that sold us in the event that it rained, which it did, so we were able to seamlessly move the ceremony from the open terrace to the covered tent. Also, unlike all the other venues we looked at, Architects was incredibly affordable and flexible. They did not have a minimum guest requirement in order to use one of the ceremony or reception locations like most venues do, and they were incredibly flexible with the number of guests we wanted. We were even able to customize the wedding package we chose! We would definitely recommend the Architects Golf Club time and time again! We will definitely be going back to golf and have lunch at the Architects Bar & Grill!

We searched and searched for a venue with a tent for our outdoor wedding and we were blown away with Architects! We absolutely loved it, everything was wonderful. Julie was amazing and so helpful.

I can't say enough about how perfect our wedding day was! We knew the moment we walked in for our initial tour, that we would get married there. The venue itself is absolutely stunning. We had an October wedding, with an outdoor ceremony and the pictures have the most beautiful backdrop. The grounds had so many picture perfect spots for our photographer. We had our cocktail hour under the tent and the reception inside. The food was incredible, as well as the ice cream sundae bar and the french fry station we did. My husband and I both got ready at the venue, and everyone was so accommodating. But what made the day perfect and seamless was Julie! She was absolutely incredible. She answered every email and question so quickly and the day of, she made sure EVERYTHING went smoothly. She was amazing and so was our wedding day! Highly recommend having your wedding here!

I just want to say the day was perfect! Every aspect of the day went off without a hitch. Julie made sure all was right, the suppliers that were recommended were all top notch. The place was immaculate, the staff numerous and friendly. Not a single complaint with regards to the food and or drinks. The seafood buffet was a big hit. Everyone had a great memorable time and I cannot think of a single thing they did not think of. Comments from guests were it was the best wedding they ever attended! Needless to say this was the right place for my daughter to have you big day. Thank you one and all that worked to make it great!

From the moment we met with Julie, we felt at ease. She is so friendly, helpful and went out of her way to answer all our questions (and we sure had a lot). The entire planning process felt so simple with Julie guiding us along the way. The outdoor space is absolutely beautiful. As soon as we saw the gorgeous views, we knew it was where we wanted to get married. We were lucky to have a picture perfect day (but Julie advised us of many backup plans if we had to make any changes due to weather). The day of the wedding we were taken all around the grounds on a golf cart (which was also fun) to get soo many amazing photos. All of our guests raved about how beautiful it was. And we can't forget Hillary! She was like superwoman running around on the day of our wedding to make sure everything was going smoothly. I was even able to get an emergency shot right before I walked down the aisle, lol! We can't thank them enough for such a perfect day!
Also, if you're looking for somewhere to have a rehearsal dinner...we actually had ours right at Architect's the night before the wedding. During the summer they have barbecues every Friday night under the tent. Julie and Hillary set aside a bunch of tables for all our guests, gifts, etc. It was really the most fun I've ever head at a rehearsal dinner. It was so laid back, the food was delicious and there was even a band playing. It was also super easy for all our guests to not have to travel to multiple locations. And you can't beat the cost. I highly recommend it!

I can't recommend the Architects club enough! Julie and her team could not have made the planning process any easier for us - any question I had was met with a prompt response, and they were super flexible and worked with us on everything we wanted for our big day. The day of the wedding I did not have to worry about ANYTHING which was such a blessing since the day is such a whirlwind to begin with. Any time I needed a drink or a plate of food somehow I would turn around and there it would be! It also doesn't hurt that the venue is so beautiful :) Would 10/10 recommend this place to anyone getting married! You won't regret it.

So many of my guests came up to me the night of my wedding saying “how did you find this place” and “this is such a gorgeous venue”. The tent overlooking the golf course is something out of a movie scene. Everyone at the architects was accommodating to what we needed and any last minute changes are handled with ease. My photographer and videographer said it’s one of the prettiest venues they have been to. The food was amazing and great sized portions. I can honestly say I would not change a thing. Thank you Julie and everyone at the architects for and amazing wedding.

I don't even know where to start since the whole day was perfection! My vision was created and my wedding was even more beautiful than I ever imagined thanks to the Architects Golf Club.
My bridal party spent the morning getting ready there with Julie, Hillary and their staff always ensuring we were ok and giving us everything we needed. They always went above and beyond and made the morning stress free.
The whole day, staff was so kind and accommodating they made my wedding extra special.
All my guessed raved about the food, drinks and atmosphere. With it being two months after my wedding, my guests are still talking about how beautiful everything was and that is truly due to all the staff. My dream wedding became a reality and I can not thank them enough for all they did.

We could not have picked a better venue for the best day of our lives!!! Working with Hillary was amazing from Day 1, and she helped make our day so perfect! We booked the venue in July 2017 and went to the food tasting in April 2018 -- the chefs and Pierre the baker are so talented! We had so much fun picking out the food and the cake. On our wedding day, our guests raved about the delicious appetizers, entrees, and cake! Hillary and her staff were so friendly and helpful to us and our guests. She also worked with us every step of the way to make sure that every detail was accounted for and perfect. The bridal suite and members lounge are beautiful -- we were there from 7:00 am until the wedding started at 4:30 pm. Hillary made sure that we had everything we needed. We planned to have our wedding on the patio, but had to switch to Plan B the morning of the wedding when it started raining. Hillary made it so easy! We had the ceremony in the tent and the pattering rain created such a romantic setting. The cocktail hour was quickly set up in the tent while we went out on the course to take pictures. Our photographer brought clear umbrellas and the pictures with the Architects Golf Club backdrop were stunning! Our reception was in the ballroom and was just beautiful. We brought decorations but the venue is so beautiful on its own. We could not recommend Hillary and this venue more! :)

The Architects Golf Club provided my husband and I with a wedding far beyond our greatest expectations. We never expected to find such a nice venue on our budget. The Simply Architects package was affordable and included everything we needed, such as separate bridal & groomsmen suites, our ceremony space, cocktail hour with passed hor d'oeuvres, open bar, and wedding cake. My husband and I were also given a golf cart and driver so that we could take pictures around the spectacular property with our photographers. The views are breathtaking, the food was delicious, and the staff was supportive and friendly. Our maître d', Hillary, was very supportive in preparation of the wedding, answering our many emails quickly and responding flexibly to last minute changes. Throughout the night, her and her staff made sure that everything ran smoothly. We feel very fortunate to have worked with Hillary and her wonderful staff. I absolutely recommend this venue to anyone looking!

This review is long overdue and well deserved - I got married here October 2016!
If I could promote this place a million times, I would! Not only are their prices extremely reasonable, but their service is absolutely impeccable. Architects is so flexible and laid back, which made for stress-free wedding planning - and the gorgeous location doesn’t hurt either!
First person to note - Julie Hill was such an awesome coordinator. She was always reachable, patient, and beyond helpful, even at 8 months pregnant! I remember emailing Julie a novel of worries late at night 3 months before my wedding because of this completely false critique of their services, and she was so reassuring and did whatever it took to make me feel comfortable again. She even offered to meet with me the next day! Julie and Hillary made such a great team!
On that note, Hillary Notorianni was amazing! Right off the bat, I felt completely at ease with her. She was extremely caring and always available. On the day of the wedding, she took care of everything! She made sure the golf carts were ready for me, my husband, and our photographers when we arrived, that the bridal suite always had food and drinks, and that me and my husband were drinking (literally, she handed me my hard cider, which she was able to stock the bar with last minute at my request - before I even stepped foot into the reception area) and well fed (We were actually able to enjoy the delicious food!). She executed the decor flawlessly and even more beautifully than I imagined. And she made drop offs and pick ups so easy for everyone involved!
I really could go on and on about why Architects played such a huge role in the best day of my life.. but just take my word for it. Book now - you will not regret it!

Amazing Experience at the Architects Golf Club!
From the beginning we fell in love with the venue. Hillary helped us through the process and was amaazzziinng!!! Answered any questions promptly that we had, was so attentive to our requests and fulfilling them. She made the whole process so stress free & easy. The day of Our wedding Julie & Hillary both assisted with everything & everything went seamlessly- we didn't have to worry about one thing, they & the staff kept everything running so smoothly. The food was amazing! All of our guests raved about the food & the cake! I was so nervous about the day going well & I realized there was nothing to worry about, Hillary & Julie had everything taken care of & everything set up exactly how we wanted it set up. I would say it's the most amazing wedding I've ever been to...wouldn't change one thing about the day and it's all thanks to the staff at Architects Golf Club!

You can't go wrong with Architects Golf Club. They executed everything flawlessly. From the ceremony organization (had to be moved due to inclement weather last minute), to set up of decorations, food, cake (which was SUPERB), flow of the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, photo ops....

If I could give Architects more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. We were worries that our short engagement (7 months) may require us to cut back on our wedding "must-haves", however our wedding was everything we wanted and more! Our coordinators, Julie and Hillary, were very responsive and helped with every step. Since our wedding was in November, we created a rain and snow plan. Thankfully we had gorgeous weather but the fact that they were able to accommodate helped settle the nervous of this anxious bride! We had our ceremony in the tent on the patio, cocktail hour downstairs, and our reception in the Thyme Ballroom. Each room was perfect for our 150 guests. We owe everything to the hardworking, kind staff that night. If we needed anything, someone was there to lend a hand. Thanks to the chef and our food was delicious and the cake was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. After dinner we danced the night away and we never went without a drink in our hands! We have received overwhelming feedback about how fabulous our wedding was. We are so grateful for everyone at Architects Golf Club who helped us achieve our perfect wedding!

Simply Perfect! From start to finish everything about working with Architect's was amazing. Julie, Hillary and the rest of the staff continually surprised me every step of the way with how accommodating and smooth the day went. From the time we booked Julie was in constant contact with me making sure to answer my 800 questions and concerns. The day of felt like a dream, not one hiccup, the staff made my (now) husband and I feel like we belonged in a fairy tale. I have received nothing but amazing compliments about the space, scenery, and food. I highly recommend the tomato soup and grilled cheese shooters, people are still raving about them! You absolutely will not regret working and booking with Architect's, I felt like i was in a close friends home and not a business. No minimum on guest count, which was amazing for us as we desperately wanted a Saturday wedding. We are eternally grateful for everyone working our day and especially Julie and Hillary for making it the absolute dream we wanted it to be. Thank you!!

So happy that we decided on The Architects Club for our wedding! It's a gorgeous venue with extremely reasonable prices. The event manager, Julie, was so easy to work with. She was there for us from the first time we toured the venue, all through the planning process and the entire day of the wedding. They do not have a bunch of different managers and it was nice being able to work with just one person. The food was out of this world! We were a little nervous because we were not able to do a cake tasting but it was amazing!! Weeks later we are still hearing rave reviews from our guests. I would highly recommend The Architects Club to anyone looking for a beautiful venue with personal service.

THE BEST!!
I would recommend this venue to everyone I know. We got married 2 weeks ago and had the best day of our lives and the best experience working with Julie leading up to it. She has a can do attitude and is SUPER responsive. She was my calming force for all of the planning.
We got lucky in getting a weekend that had a cancellation and got straight to planning with only 3 months to go.
From the moment i met Julie, i knew we made the right decision. She was pleasant organized and like i said so so SO calm.
Being on such a short time frame i communicated with Julie almost every day and never had to ask a question twice. She was the one keeping me organized!
The day of our wedding was 100 degrees and Julie was running around making sure everything was set. I didn't have to do anything!
The course and background is absolutely stunning, the tent is unbelievable gorgeous and we even got a cool breeze up there at night. We didn't have to worry about flooding in the tent, or getting a dance floor brought in because it was on a small hill and had a stone floor.
The entire staff was incredible. People were raving about the "strong" drinks and the delicious chicken that we were served. I have already had people ask me for contact information for their engaged sisters to have their wedding there.
The night was magical, the grounds or unreal (you really can't believe your eyes) and Julie and the whole team there could not have made our day any easier.
I wish i could go on forever about how amazing they were to me. I have a feeling we will be friends with Julie for a long time. she was incredible!

The Architects Golf Club is the perfect spot for couples seeking a gorgeous outdoor venue, attentive service, and a reasonable budget. The scenic backdrop behind the stone patio where our ceremony took place is set against rolling green hills and breathtaking mountains (we were also incredibly blessed with clear skies that day). The Bridal Suite is also lovely and spacious, and includes a bathroom so the bride and bridal party can prep in private.
However, Julie Hill, the Event Coordinator at Architects, deserves the biggest shout out in this review. We had a lot of special requests and many many questions in order to make our wedding feel extra personal, and Julie fielded them all with grace, patience, and professionalism. She handled every detail with attention and care, helping to give us the peace of mind we needed during an inherently hectic and unpredictable planning period.
The day of the rehearsal, she was on top of every detail, from decorations to order of events, to make sure everything ran smoothly. Our actual wedding day was a whirlwind of last minute decorating and prepping, but Julie was standing by to make sure we were right on schedule and that everyone was where they needed to be. I've heard other girlfriends of mine having difficult relationships with their event coordinators, but thankfully Julie quelled any reservations we had going in, and with her help made our wedding one of the most incredibly and joyful days of our lives :). I would happily recommend Architects, but particularly Julie, to any bride!!

I had my wedding at The Architects Golf Club on 5/3/14 and everything was perfect! I worked very closely with Julie who answered all my questions. The day of the wedding Julie and Tim were there to ensure everything ran smoothly. We received many compliments on how wonderful the wedding was...the food was phenomenal and the ambiance and views were amazing. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect evening! Thanks to everyone at The Architects Club for an amazing time!

I booked The Architects Golf Club for my July 2014 wedding reception. I am extremely dissatisfied with this venue for several reasons.
Things started off on the wrong foot when the original in-house wedding coordinator’s employment ended at Architects, and I was not informed. I had developed a good relationship with this planner, and felt confident that she would take care of all reception details. After her departure, Architects never contacted me about this change; instead, it was referenced in a letter stating my final balance. This miscommunication made me uneasy. As a reception venue, Architects promised impeccable service and attention to detail; therefore, I feel I should have received some sort of communication from them introducing the new wedding planner. As a bride, you put a lot of faith in this person to make sure all details come together as you envisioned. Instead of Architects’ staff reaching out to me, I had to call the venue and ask if my original coordinator was still on staff. I was extremely upset and disappointed, and I felt this spoke volumes about the lack of professionalism from this venue.
Things got progressively worse from there.
A little more than six months before my wedding date, my fiancé and I separated. I was devastated and in a state of disbelief that my wedding had been called off. I had to call all of my booked vendors to cancel. I understand that vendors typically keep a security deposit to hold a specific date. However, in addition to the security deposit of $2,500, I paid Architects an additional $5,166 toward the remaining balance.
While my date was reserved, Architects did not provide any event-planning services such as a tasting, prepare food, prepare/set up venue, secure staffing, supply food/beverages, let alone hold the actual event. Therefore, the additional payment made ($5,166) did not net any wedding-related services. So, not only was I enduring a broken engagement, but they were also withholding a total of $7,666. This is 79% of the total contract price and in my opinion is simply unfair to keep this large sum of money for nothing more than holding a date.
In addition, I provided notice of the cancellation more than six months before the scheduled wedding date, which gave the venue sufficient notice to book another event on that date.
I tried reaching out to the owner via certified letter. I waited a few months, with no communication in return, before seeking legal counsel. Now I am unfortunately headed to court to try to recoup my additional payments.
I was disappointed and displeased with this venue and owner. If you are planning your dream wedding, I strongly recommend avoiding The Architects Golf Club.

When planning our dream wedding, my husband and I knew we wanted a venue that reflected our vintage chic, yet elegant style with a romantic feel. The Architects was the first venue we looked at, and we could not get it out of our heads. From the beautiful patio ceremony space, to the elegant ballroom, to the breathtaking mountainous views, this venue fulfilled our vision!
The event coordinator, Rebecca, made us feel very special since our very first meeting, and was willing to work with our budget and secure our desired day of the week (Saturday). She is one of the most organized, down-to-earth people I have ever met.
My bridal party and I arrived two hours before the ceremony to take advantage of the beautiful bridal suite, and my husband and his groomsmen used the classic-looking locker room area on the bottom floor of the venue. From the moment we arrived, the maitre d Tim was there offering his assistance with a smile, and his team busy setting up for our sole event. My husband and I were adamant about not seeing each other before the ceremony, and Rebecca and Karen (wait staff) were in constant contact with the groomsmen to make sure we didn’t run into each other and that any of our needs were met. Even our florist mentioned how Tim and rest of the Architects' staff were one of the most competent teams of people they ever had the pleasure of working with.
The reception space was unbelievable, and our up lighting was gorgeous. The wait staff were so attentive and efficient during the reception; glasses were constantly being filled. We were able to choose from a copious amount of menu options -- all of which were DELICIOUS -- and our family and friends couldn't stop raving about the food. We were so very pleased with the ENTIRE staff - from the maitre d, to the chef, to the bartenders, to the servers. Everyone is patient, courteous, and professional.
In short, The Architects Golf Club went above and beyond to give us the most perfect wedding day. We wish we could do it all over again.

Everyone at The Architects Club gave us superior service. Peter was exceptional. He truly focuses on showing everyone who comes a great time through their fantastic food and professionalism.
The food is phenomenal!!! Cocktail hour under the tent with the greenery and mountains as a backdrop with the sun setting is absolutely beautiful. All my guests tell me what a great time they had at The Architects Club! I highly recommend them to anyone!
