My husband and I got married at The Captain’s Club in October this year. Everything turned out perfectly! Leading up to our wedding Kerri and Hunter were so wonderful to work with....

They answered any questions or concerns that we had and made sure everything was how we were envisioning it. They are very organized and quick to respond to emails. Day of the wedding Lexi and the rest of the staff were super helpful and everything went seamlessly! Our ceremony took place outside on the rooftop, it was spacious and looked so beautiful. We had a small issue with our arch due to the wind and Kerri and Lexi were so sweet to jump in and fix it to make our ceremony perfect. We had multiple guests with food allergies and The Captain’s Club was able to accommodate them with no issues. We added on the patio package for our reception and absolutely loved it! It gave us and guests more space to visit and enjoy the night. I did hear from guests that they like the option of having the bar out on the patio as well during cocktail hour so it wasn’t crowded or there wasn’t a long wait to get drinks. We heard so many compliments from our guests about the venue and the food! Everything turned out so wonderful, we can’t thank them enough for everything! We are so happy that we decided on The Captain’s Club!!🤍

I'm a pretty low-maintenance person in most areas of my life. I'd say my exception would be my rabid, fanatical dedication to safe COVID-19 protocol. Obviously, there's no real saf...

e way to hold events but if you and your guests are willing to take the risk, Captain's Club should be your venue. They had the space, the masks, and the flexibility to set my mind at ease. Safety was my number one concern and Captain's Club nailed it. Technical Review: Menu- my husband and I are vegetarians and there were so many options for us and our meat-eating guests. The chef even proposed a meatless roast carving station for us! So considerate. They were very conscientious of the food allergies of our guests as well. Oh, and everything was delicious! Ceremony- Allison and her team were so professional and everything was organized and perfect. Packages- They have many flexible wedding/reception packages that take the stress of planning off your shoulders. They work directly with Special Occasions for all decorations as well. Choosing the perfect linens couldn't have been easier for me and they deliver right to the venue. Overall, Captain's Club has a wonderful team who were a dream to work with!

I have recommended this venue already to friends, and will continue to do so!

re! Our wedding was this past August and we loved the indoor/outdoor feel for our cocktail our and reception with the patio and ballroom, the guests loved it as well! Everyone was very helpful throughout the planning stages and although our coordinator changed a couple times due to people moving around, Taylor ended up working with us and she was awesome and so helpful! Also, since we were planning during Covid, they were very informative about regulations and there were always backup plans. Luckily, things opened up and we were able to have the wedding of our dreams! I only have great things to say about this venue!!

Our wedding was July 2021, after postponing due to COVID. Our original coordinator switched jobs prior to our wedding so we were placed with Allison. We loved her and she made us f...

eel so at ease and prepared. She was in constant contact and answered all of my questions in a timely manner. Well fast forward to the night of our rehearsal dinner, and there is no Allison. I was told she had an emergency, which I completely understand happening but was still in a panic. I can't even tell you the name of the lady that filled her position but she informed us that Allison would be there the next day on our actual wedding. To my surprise, no Allison on our wedding day either. The lady that was supposed to be covering for her was only seen once before I walked down the isle. She didn't place my seating chart sign where Allison and I agreed on, which made many of my guest miss seeing it and had people sitting at wrong tables and pulling chairs which left some single guests at tables alone. The drinks were weak. I was disappointed after spending so much for the bar package. All of my guests complained about the weak drinks and I even got a stomach ache from so much juice being used to make the drinks. I understand things come up, but I felt like my wedding day was very unorganized which was sad after planning this for 2 years.

Response from The Captain’s Club Golf & Event Center on 01/07/2022

Hi Samantha! Thank you for your candor in your review of our venue. We strive to ensure yo...

u work with the same day of coordinator as you had been communicating with up to your wedding day. As you mentioned, things do come up and unexpected life situations happen. We are so very sorry Allison wasn't personally available to be there for your wedding day, as said this is never our intention for anyone's special day. Looking back, we do wish we had Allison discuss the situation with you on a personal level and will aim to better communicate these unexpected changes in the future. Thank you again and it was truly a joy working with you and Justin!

We got married at The Captain's Club in April 2021. The venue, food, and coordinators (shout out to Allison!) were amazing. Only issue we had was since this is a public golf course...

and restaurant, people could come in and out, and there was an individual that was not a guest of our wedding that was loitering around the area and getting drinks from our bar. My mother and our photographer had to kick him out. Other than that one hiccup, everything went smoothly!

We chose the Captain’s Club as our wedding venue for a million reasons, most of all, the convenience of having a beautiful location with a single contact for the food, bar, linens,...

and venue. I would make that decision again in a heartbeat. PROS: Food, Bar, Linens, Tables, Chairs, and Tableware all handled by an on-site coordinator. Easy access to the venue for walk-throughs. Friendly and accommodating staff. Worked around allergies. Great communication. Free on-site parking with no time limit so your guests can leave their vehicles overnight without worrying about having to pick them up by a specific time the next day. Bridal suite for getting dressed. Multiple beautiful ceremony locations to choose from. CONS: Public venue so other people can use the venue and golf course during your visit – we had another wedding on-site during our rehearsal and high school homecoming students during our wedding. The venue switched coordinators multiple times before our wedding – though they did a decent job of transitioning so we didn’t have to repeat too many conversations, it was still a little nerve-wracking.

we wanted in a venue... space for 200+ people, patio space, string lights, and the most important: THE FOOD! Our guests could not stop ranting and raving about how delicious our food was. The 5 cheese mac and cheese was a huge hit. Although we had perfect weather, it was super nice to have a backup plan for inclement weather. I also loved that hotels (with shuttle service) is only an 8 minute drive. The staff was super helpful at all times! I would recommend the Captain's Club over and over again!!!
