The Club at Treasure Island

I had our wedding there on May 18th of this year. I have a like/dislike relationship with this venue. We originally picked the venue due to location, the appearance/classyness of it, and the affordability. It wasn't dirt cheap but it wasn't the down payment for a house. A few weeks before our wedding we went to the venue with our photographer for a walk through. Before this appointment, we had almost no issues at all with the venue. We are in the waiting area waiting for our photographer and we find out that someone (Y or Upper Management - I have heard different stories from her and Upper Management) that there will be a pool party the day of our wedding. I immediately have an internal panic attack. The pool parties that they are beginning to throw more often are not members only pool parties. From what I've seen I can almost compare them to the pool parties at Shepherd's. These pool parties are open to the public. That was not the vision we had for our wedding either. I immediately got upset with upper management while I was there. I was terrified that we would have to lose the deposit we put down and choose another venue because I refused to have the crowd those pool parties bring anywhere near my wedding. Someone tried to reason with me that it would be okay because our event would be inside and the party was outside. We booked with the venue LAST YEAR and felt we weren't being respected and taken care of. The former wedding coordinator sent me a rogue email after she was let go and informed me she had nothing to do with it. Others at the venue told me she had planned it herself. I was uncomfortable with the back and forth that I was witnessing. The two stars I am giving is simply for Sylvia. If it wasn't for Sylvia I would have just given one star. Sylvia unfortunately had to come in and clean up everyone's mess. She called us to let us know that the pool party was cancelled. I was unsure about still having my wedding there but I eventually gave Sylvia the faith she had been asking for. The day of the wedding: Everything was flowing smoothly until the reception. Unfortunately my Husband had invited 2 guests who left their class and respect at home that day. We asked for them to be removed. The decorator for the event asked them to go back to their seats and to conduct themselves appropriately. They did not. One of the employees at the venue asked them to leave after our dances and this is what I am upset about most. Instead of someone escorting them out (of course not physically), these guests were left unattended to approach my Husband, myself, and then my Husband again to confront us and spew profanities at us. We didn't dream of our guests acting like that at the wedding. We didn't think we would need to hire security or anything like that. I am more hurt that these women had the freedom to roam around and confront us and then get into a shouting match with me - instead of just being walked out by venue staff. I strongly suggest some kind of training is implemented for future weddings or events so this does not ruin someone else's reception. Also - the ceremony room where we had our ceremony does need some updating. You can see on our professional pictures that there are mismatched patches on the wall and stains on the ceilings. It also would be nice for there to be complimentary snacks/drinks in the bridal suite. It's just my two cents.

The club itself was the perfect venue for our wedding. It is beautiful, spacious, and the food was excellent. The servers and bartenders were great as well. Yvonne was very difficult to communicate with. Most of our communication took place through emails and that may have been my mistake. The emails I sent would often contain 2 + questions, the responses I received were often short and usually did not offer responses to each question. That was an issue that I could have gotten past. An issue that I could not get past is the table arrangements that had been set up incorrectly. Yvonne provided a table chart with corresponding table numbers when I asked. She then kindly provided another one when we had to reduce the number of tables needed. The second seating chart did not include numbers so I assigned the numbers myself based off of the original chart. I then sent the chart with corresponding table numbers back to Yvonne to ensure that we were following the same seating chart so that our family members would not end up sitting at tables other than those that we had assigned. Long story short, half of the tables were wrong at the reception. My husband's immediate family sat towards the back of the room instead of next to our sweetheart table where we had assigned them. Yvonne never actually asked for the seating arrangements or for confirmation on the meals. I sent that information to her as soon as I had it all together (3-4 wks before the wedding) and Yvonne confirmed that she had received it within a day or two. It wasn't until the day before our wedding that Yvonne asked for me to send her how many of each meal was needed per table. This would not have been an issue if it had been even three days before the wedding. Instead, I was up late the night before our wedding going through each of our 21 tables and noting what how many of each meal was needed. There were a few other little issues that I encountered that are not really worth mentioning. The reason I am leaving this review is that I would have wanted to know about some of the additional stressors that I would have to put up with when planning my wedding. I will say that Yvonne recommended a few of our other vendors and they were absolutely wonderful. Once again, the club itself is a gorgeous wedding venue and I would recommend it for people who are not concerned about the issues I described above.

We are so happy with our how wedding reception turned out at the Club at Treasure Island! Yvonne was great with the whole wedding planning process and always responded quickly to any questions we had. She offered great suggestions and was so helpful with helping us pick out the food for our guests and offering recommendations to us of other vendors in the area such a DJ and florist. She knows what she is doing and you will not be disappointed! This venue is beautiful and our guests raved about how nice it was and how great the food was!

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at The Club and we were humbled by how we were fully welcomed as a gay couple by everyone at the venue. Yvonne helped us at every step, and the food, communication and small details I never thought of were amazing! I recommend The Club to any couple looking to have a tasteful wedding and work with friendly and knowledgeable professionals.
