Mary and Heidi were an incredible team to work with! The Great Southern Club was the only venue we looked at for our wedding before deciding that is where we wanted our special day...
. They were super helpful in the decision making process for everything. They are very organized and you can tell they’ve been in the business because everything with them ran so smoothly. They were very helpful too in the last month, ensuring all details were in place. The staff day was great!! We had so many guests compliment the bar and food staff! People love when they don’t have to wait long to get drinks and the staff did great! And the food!!! We live out of town and didn’t do a tasting so we chose off their menu blindly, but every single thing was incredible!! Every guest complemented the food and even now they’re still talking about how good it all was! We did the all you could eat buffet for 4 hours and everyone definitely got their fill! Overall the GSC was incredible in all aspects of planning and helping us make our special day come true!

My new husband and I chose to have a brunch reception the morning after we married. The Great Southern Club was beautifully arranged, the food was outstanding, service was fabulou...
s, and our guests raved about the entire venue. We were sent away with a shopping bag of goodies to share later in the day. We would recommend this location to anyone looking for a classy, open location. We will use this venue again.

I was married at The Great Southern Club. Yes, the price was very high but the beautiful surroundings amazed all of my guest. The venue was a hit for sure.
