We and all of our wedding guests absolutely loved Turf Valley Resort! Every vendor we hired also spoke extremely highly of Turf Valley and had worked many previous events on site. Jianna and Jenny were incredibly helpful and responsive in all our planning efforts. We didn’t use any wedding planners or external day of coordinators, but the Turf Valley wedding staff and our Maitre d's Gloria and Bria covered everything for us and kept all of us to our schedule flawlessly. We had almost 200 guests and they all raved about the perfectly cooked filets and salmon, attentive bartenders, and all of the resort accommodations all weekend! We rented the Cameo Ballroom, which was great to have the ballroom (for our ceremony and flipped for the dinner), outside patio with heaters, and lobby area with bar, restrooms, and bridal suite. Most of our guests stayed on site which extended the party to an amazing entire weekend! The night before the wedding and after the wedding, we were able to mingle with our guests in the hotel lobby bar and many of our guests also enjoyed the hotel restaurant, pool, golfing, and spa! We also rented two large hospitality suites for the Bride and Groom getting ready spaces and were able to easily entertain 10-15+ people in each room. Everything about Turf Valley was so perfect and we cannot recommend the resort and entire staff enough to any other future wedding couples!

My daughter's wedding was absolutely perfect at Turf Valley. She had her reception in the garden and her reception in the Waterford Ballroom. We opted for the extra hour plus the cocktail hour and the night still flew by. The sales office staff (Carol) was so easy to work with and very responsive to all of our questions. The staff during the night of the wedding bent over backwards to make the event exactly as we wanted. Everyone was extremely professional and accommodating. I would highly recommend Turf Valley as a wedding venue to anyone.

We can’t recommend Turf Valley enough! It was the perfect setting for us and accommodated both local and out-of-town guests. We loved that everything was all in one place, from the ceremony to the reception to hotel rooms. The grounds are beautiful, and the outdoor ceremony space is incredibly picturesque. Our guests LOVED the food, and we received so many compliments on the catering! The staff was super helpful and welcoming, and they really helped make our wedding day go smoothly. Jenny and Jianna were absolutely amazing, clearly communicating throughout the entire planning process, and Latisha, our maitre d', took care of any loose ends on the big day. We would highly recommend Turf Valley to anyone!

Our wedding day (and weekend) at Turf Valley was perfect!! Jianna was wonderful to communicate and work with. Adam was a very attentive and kind maître d. Our wedding ceremony in the garden was beautiful and the Terrace on the Green room was perfect for our reception. The venue was clean and staff seem to take pride in making sure everything looks perfect. MANY of our guests commented that the food was top notch! All of the wait staff was attentive, helpful, and kind. Our dog was our flower girl which meant so much that she could be with us for our special day.
We hosted a "Welcome Reception" at Alexandra's Restaurant where the food was spectacular again and everyone was wonderful to coordinate and work with. Our guests who stayed on site also enjoyed breakfast at Alexandra's the next morning.
I feel the money we spent was so well worth it and the “product” we received went above and beyond our expectations! We thank everyone at Turf Valley for making our wedding perfect.

We could not have been more happy with our wedding at Turf Valley. I wish I had my photos back to share how beautiful everything looked! Our contact, Carol, was friendly, capable, and responsive. We truly could not have asked for a better day. The rates were extremely affordable for the area and allowed us to extend our reception and have an open bar without going over budget. We really appreciated the availability of transparent pricing on their website.
Our ceremony took place in the Garden. The chairs were all set up for us and they even set out a refreshment table (with some flavored water) for our guests. The golf course/Garden were a great backdrop for our photos.
We had our reception in the Waterford Ballroom. The space was absolutely beautiful. We did end up renting different chairs for the space, but that process was completely painless by using their recommended vendor.
I booked a room block with the hotel, and had my own room to get ready in the morning of the wedding. The room was very spacious and comfortable. All of our guests complimented the hotel for being both nice and affordable.
The food/drink was the best part of the day!! Wedding food can be a little hit or miss, but I had several guests rave about their food (both chicken and steak). We knew the food was going to be good from the tasting event, but we were so happy all our guests agreed with us!
Finally, I could not recommend using their list of preferred vendors more. We found all of our vendors through Turf Valley's website and were so happy with each one of them.

We had the most wonderful experience working with Turf Valley Resort for our wedding day. After researching multiple venues, once we set foot in Turf Valley, we knew it was the perfect choice for us. The convenience of having both the venue and catering included in one package was a huge relief and simplified our decision-making process. We especially appreciated how flexible the team was in accommodating our specific desires for the venue setup, making our vision come to life seamlessly.
Jenny and Jianna from Turf Valley were an absolute delight to work with. Their professionalism and easy-going nature made the entire planning process stress-free. Communication with them was top-notch, and they were always available to address any questions or concerns we had. Their dedication to making our day truly special was evident in every detail.
During the wedding, the team at Turf Valley Resort went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding party and guests were well taken care of. They worked tirelessly to create a memorable experience for everyone involved, showcasing their commitment to customer satisfaction. While there were a couple of minor aspects that were neutral, overall, the positive far outweighed any neutral points.
We highly recommend Turf Valley Resort to any couple looking for a stunning venue with exceptional service for their special day. Thank you, Turf Valley, for making our wedding day a dream come true!

Overall, we had a wonderful wedding reception at Turf Valley. Below are a few things that they did very well and also a few things that in retrospect I wish were different.
Pro’s: incredible food (so many people came to us and said it was some of the best wedding food), very accommodating with last minute changes, offer complementary table numbers, cake cutting supplies, candles, etc., beautiful venue (inside and out- we had the Cameo room which has a beautiful outdoor patio with firepits), allows sparkler exit (outside), very responsive via email and phone, plenty of indoor spaces to take pics in case it rains, everything was executed the way they said it would be, complementary greens fee, great recommendations on other vendors (which I used).
Cons/could improve on- they don’t store cakes and will only allow them to be delivered 2 hours before event start time (can be extremely inconvenient), no guarantee that you can set up the venue the day before or even the morning before as they may book another event then and will only know for sure ~10 days prior (thankfully they didnt for us, although it was very difficult for me to plan with all the vendors when they can come set up), no real bridal suite (just have to use the hotel room, which does not have a full length mirror), extremely limited photo spots on the grounds because of the golf courses (and there seemed to be discrepancies between where the staff said you can/cant go- problematic if your photographers are unfamiliar with this venue), they only guarantee 2 standing tables for cocktail hour (however we were able to get more because they had extra- just depends on event availability), no complementary transportation to/from church (they used to have a trolley but got rid of it).

Our wedding at Turf Valley was a great success because of the lovely team that helped us through the entire process. Jenny Betlejewski, Jianna Shipler, and Latisha Davidson were such a joy to work with. Our wedding ceremony was in the garden and reception was held in the Waterford Ballroom. Jenny and Jianna were super responsive to all our questions and requests up until the day before and Latisha was present the day of with the rest of the team at Turf Valley and kept everything running smoothly. Our guests had a wonderful time, the food was great, our vendors were supported, and overall it was just a wonderful day! We also did a rehearsal dinner for the wedding party and out-of-town guests at their restaurant (Alexandra's) the evening before and all had a wonderful time. It's clear that Turf Valley knows what they're doing when it comes to hosting weddings and we felt so taken care of.

Turf Valley surpassed all of our expectations and was above and beyond! If we could do it all over again, we would do it exactly the same. Jenny B. was the catering director who coordinated everything for us the entire process. She is beyond fantastic. She answered my millions of emails and questions, she always had an answer to my questions, she always answered very quickly, she is just so reliable, patient, knowledgeable. You can tell she’s done a million weddings because she just knows everything. This helped make us feel SO calm while wedding planning because she, and everyone working there, is very trustworthy and professional. Our maitre D on the day of, was Gloria F. She was also amazing!!! She also had an answer to all our questions, she was extremely on top of things, she set up everything and broke it all down afterwards, made everything run smoothly. She even made sure we had drinks and food! She was above and beyond. I can’t say enough good things about Jenny and Gloria, as well as the whole staff there. They are all very very willing to help and give you a great experience - which they did. Even during the reception, they must have had two dozen servers because they were so incredibly quick and efficient bringing out the food like a well-oiled machine, they were very accommodating and helpful.
The venue itself was fantastic. Every single thing we ate - from the wedding dinner to the cocktail hour apps to the breakfast and lunches we ate at the restaurant all weekend - was exceptional. All our guests said this, and continue to tell us a month later. It was so awesome having our venue here because the hotel and after party and reception were all at the same place. I feel like that really made our wedding weekend. After the wedding, we all went to the hotel bar, the bartenders were great as well. We had 180 guests and there was enough room for everyone. It was great seeing all our friends and family Sunday morning having breakfast, and Friday night after our rehearsal, in the same place. The groomsmen and some of our guests even went golfing the Friday before, and they said the course is really awesome so that was very fun. We were in the Cameo ballroom and it was just absolutely perfect - perfect size, big dancefloor, patio overlooking the golf course.
By the way, all the vendors we booked were from Turf Valley’s preferred vendors, and they were all awesome as well.
Lastly, there were so many other events going on at the same exact time as ours. A staff member told us this was one of their busiest weekends and all the hotel rooms and all the event rooms were completely booked, including the one right next door to us. That did not impact us at all - didn’t even notice that was the case.
I am just so incredibly happy that everything went so smoothly and so great and that we chose this venue.

I can't recommend this venue enough!! Jaime was our contact and she was wonderful. She answered all of our million questions and was also so nice and responsive. Getting to the venue - seriously, it's perfect. For starters, literally everything you need is there. The hotel, the bar, restaurant ... EVERYTHING. The minute you check in you do not need to leave until the weekend is over with. The drinks and food were absolutely delicious. Our guests kept saying how great the food was and how well the bartenders were. Okay now the views - really really breathtaking. The ceremony is in the perfect location so you will have photos during the golden hour. The venue itself is gorgeous, you will not have any bad photos. Our maitre d was also wonderful!! She made sure everything was perfect and really made sure my husband and I had a great evening. She even snuck us off so we can actually enjoy a few minutes together and eat some of the apps. At the end of the night she also packed all our stuff up and even packed up a to go plate for us so we can enjoy our dinner. Money wise, this was the most cost efficient venue too. Out of all the places we looked, this one was the best price and offered everything. Having the food and drinks there was such a stress relief, we didn't have to worry about outsourcing. And the food and drinks were great so it's not like what was offered was bad. Another thing, there is a bar on site at the resort so when your wedding is over with you can keep the party going without worrying about getting an uber somewhere or your guests driving. I really cannot recommend this place enough as a venue option. Truly nothing I would change, everyone was so accommodating and nice and just really made my husband and I's day that much more special and stress free.

The bartenders were amazing, and all of the staff were so friendly and accommodating to us, and to all of our guests.

We had a FANTASTIC wedding reception at Turf Valley. The resort is excellent, and the staff are the friendliest and most helpful people you can ever ask for.
We can’t say enough good things about our sales & catering executive Carol Sirchio. Carol worked with us for over 10 months to plan & coordinate our wedding reception, covering every possible detail and scenario to make us feel totally prepared for the big day. Carol went above & beyond what anyone could expect in terms of helping us with the wedding - she responded to all of our emails almost immediately and proactively made suggestions for best practices and how to manage costs. Her positive attitude made a typically stressful process such a breeze for us.
The resort itself is also excellent - our hotel room was clean & spacious, and the grounds are also scenic and elegant. The gazebo area and the fountain are great for pictures.
We held our reception in the Waterford Ballroom (with about 120 people). There is a large multi-floor cocktail hour area in addition to a good-sized ballroom as well as a wedding party suite attached to the cocktail area. Our guests had plenty of room to walk around, mingle, and stretch out.
The food was also great. Carol’s team organized a tasting event several months before the wedding where we could sample numerous appetizers, entrees, and drinks. This event was a party in itself! We wound up selecting the buffet option, and our guests particularly loved the crab-stuffed salmon entree. There is also an option for a custom cocktail at the bar, which was a lot of fun.
Furthermore - we held an after party at the hotel bar (Fairway Lounge). It was so convenient, especially with guests staying in the hotel, that 70-80% of our guests stopped by, and we had a blast celebrating for several more hours.
And the whole Turf valley team was fantastic - from Carol’s team to the maitre’d and the bartenders - so many of our guests went out of their way to praise the Turf Valley staff for friendly and helpful interactions.
Turf Valley is truly a venue that puts an emphasis on people. We are tremendously lucky that we stumbled upon this venue, and we’ll look back upon our wedding there very fondly for many years to come!

Turf Valley was an AMAZING place to have our reception at. They made the entire process so easy for us, and it was beautiful on the night of the reception. We worked with Jenny as our Catering Director and Latisha as our Maitre D. Both of these women were so helpful and I am so glad they were there for it. The entire night went by so smoothly, we could not have asked for anything more.

We chose Turf Valley because it was a convenient location (close to where we live as well as the airport), the beautiful ceremony location under the willow trees, and the fact that everything was all in one spot! It was great having our rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception, and hotel room all on the same property, and I loved that the venue included catering, bar package, etc.
The ceremony and reception spaces were beautiful, and everything I had envisioned was brought to life.
Our coordinator, Jaime, was so helpful throughout the process. I never felt stressed leading up to the day, and she helped me put together a super specific timeline. She thought of everything!
We also got the help of a Maitre D the day of. We worked with Latisha and she did an amazing job making sure everything was perfect! She helped everything flow seamlessly. She also pulled us aside after the ceremony for some private time where we got to enjoy all of our appetizers, spend some time together as a couple, and use the restroom before greeting all of our guests!
Overall, I would not change a single thing! Our wedding day was absolutely perfect.

My daughter got married 9/3/22 Labor Day weekend and it was beautiful. Our Event Coordinator/Catering Account Executive Jaime O'Steen(formerly Petit) was the very best to work with. From the beginning of our planning to finalizing all the details, she was phenomenal. She was so very helpful and her professionalism was outstanding. Right up until the wedding, our experience with Jaime, her Turf Valley staff and everyone involved at Turf Valley was excellent. Way to Go Turf Valley. Wonderful venue for a wedding and you must ask for Jaime in order to get superior service for your event or wedding day!

We are happy that we chose Turf Valley as our wedding venue. We loved having everything on-site, including accommodations. We did run into a surprise regarding the hotel being sold out about 5 months prior to our event, but eventually were able to claim enough rooms to house our guests (this did add a little stress - make sure to make you room block big enough early on!). We loved the garden and planned to have our ceremony there, but the weather had other plans. Turf Valley ended up working with us to accommodate our large guest count into a different indoor space which made it much more spacious and pleasant for the ceremony. Jenny B was very helpful, responsive, and calm in the planning process. Our on-site/day-of coordinator, Latisha, was amazing and went above and beyond for us several times on the day before and day-of (even with a busy Mother's Day immediately after). We were very pleased with the food and got compliments from several of our guests about it. We also had our rehearsal dinner and a welcome reception on-site (via Alexandra's) which was convenient and easy to plan with Shannon. The location of Turf Valley is convenient and the grounds are pretty. The hotel was comfortable and clean for our two night stay. The staff who helped us on the day/night of the wedding were friendly and professional. I am sure that I am missing something, but we were happy with our experience there. They did a fantastic job and they exceeded expectations. We would recommend considering Turf Valley - especially if you want the option to have everything on-site.

After three years of planning, our daughter's wedding reception was finally held in November 2021 at Turf Valley. Jaime, our consultant, was a pleasure to work with. She was so patient with us as we made quite a few changes due to rescheduling the date twice due to COVID. The banquet room was set up just as we had planned, and the food was delicious. Lorraine, the bar tender, and the rest of the staff were excellent. The reception was a delight and many of our guests complimented on how much they enjoyed the evening. Some of our guests stayed overnight and for breakfast in the morning. The hotel rooms were lovely, and the food and service for breakfast were both outstanding. Everyone went home happy! Thank you for helping us to create a wonderful event for our family and friends.

I do not have a SINGLE regret after our wedding at Turf Valley last weekend. We had Jaime as our coordinator and she was incredible. The communication was fantastic leading up to the day, she was extremely understanding and patient when we had to make the difficult decision to postpone due to covid, and she gave her helpful honest opinion when we asked for it. My friends have been raving about the food, the hotel, and overall experience since the night ended. My aunt was our florist and she commented on how kindly everyone treated her, which she said is not common and a lot of venues are rude to vendors. Here’s part of my dad’s email afterwards in case you’re not already convinced: “Literally every single resort team member that we interacted with was top notch! James, Carolin and Nika at the front desk were so accommodating for all of our and our guests' needs. Gail our server, multiple times, in Alexandra's is a rock star with great customer focus and a wonderful personality. Paul knocked it out of the park as our maitre d and wedding day go to resource. He is a master of customer service and a genuinely nice man. Gloria and her banquet staff were great and super accommodating. Each and every housekeeping staff member that assisted us throughout the weekend was so helpful and kind. It is more than evident that Turf Valley Resort clearly knows how to hire, mentor and build a guest centric team!” 10/10 experience.

I do not have enough have enough good things to say about Turf Valley! After touring multiple venues, we scheduled a tour for Turf Valley and knew instantly that was where we would be married. Jaime (Sales) was an absolutely pleasure to work with from beginning to end. She was extremely responsive and always so helpful and kind. We loved the convenience of everything being in one place (ceremony, reception, hotel, and rehearsal dinner). Our wedding day was so perfect - all the staff were amazing and as was the food and drinks! I wish I could do that day over and over again. Highly recommend!!

Turf Valley was everything and more we could have asked for. Our catering manager, Jaime, made the whole process an amazing experience! She was so communicative and completely transparent with us. She helped us weigh pros and cons and used her expertise to help us make sure we were making the best decisions possible for us. This was especially helpful over the past year while we planned during COVID and we didn’t know what things would look like. Jaime helped us to edit our contract given the restrictions and find an option that both TV and we were comfortable with. What I loved most about Jaime is her willingness to pick up the phone and call rather than responding via email. It helped to make sure we were truly on the same page rather than assuming everything got relayed effectively via email. That really showed me her desire to go above and beyond for us and to make our day as perfect as she possibly could. I could rave about her for days. But, also worth noting is the quality of the resort. The garden is gorgeous and perfect for an outdoor ceremony! Our banquet manager, Chris, was also phenomenal and ensured the entire evening went without hiccups. The food was incredible and the vendors all worked so well together to make for a seamless evening. TV was extremely accommodating with where we could store decor before and after the event. They really did everything to make our day as seamless as possible. We also loved the fact we could have our guests stay on site and have Alexandra’s right on site as well for dining and rehearsal dinner needs. They really have everything in one place which made our lives so much easier! We can’t say enough good things about TV, Jaime, Chris and the rest of the team and highly recommend booking with them.

My wedding was originally scheduled for May but had to reschedule to October. It was hard to feel excited in such an uncertain time but Jaimie helped me through everything! She planned with me, cried with me, helped me stay positive and hopeful. She gave me her honest opinion from an experience standpoint but also a personal one which made me so confident. The day finally came and I wasn’t stressed at all. Chris, my maitre D, made sure everything day off went smooth. He worked with the Dj to really make sure my day flowed. In between hosting, he somehow personally made sure my husband and I were taken care of. He reminded us to take moments while making sure we were fed and hydrated. I couldn’t have asked for a better team. Of course it goes without saying, the room that night was a dream. I Had a suite for my girls to get ready and it never felt crowded or too cramped. I had all the amenities I needed. 11/10 would get married here again.

We toured several venues throughout the Baltimore area before deciding that Turf Valley Resort was the perfect place for us! The convenience of having the ceremony, reception, and hotel all at the same place (as well as free parking) can not be matched! Not only does the Garden ceremony look like a dream in pictures, but the hotel rooms are also exquisite and extremely clean during COVID. Jaime Petit (Sales) and Chris Goodwin (Event Coordinator/Maitre D) went ABOVE AND BEYOND for us. Jaime was very considerate during COVID and due to social distancing guidelines upgraded our reception room free of cost to accomodate for the large number of guests we had attending - which was 80. She was a pleasure to work with and really made everything incredibly easy. She also waived our attrition rate of our room blocks during COVID due to some family not being able to attend from out of the country. Chris was a LIFESAVER. We had a last minute seating chart problem Friday before our wedding on Saturday. Chris and the marketing team at TVR were able to put together a beautiful seating chart for us at the drop of a hat! We could not have been more grateful to work with such an amazing team! The grounds, restaurant and overall ambiance speak for themselves, but the staff just pushes this place over the top! We will recommend this venue to any and every couple we meet!

On every front that I interfaced with Turf Valley Resort I had an absolutely terrible experience. Not a single person I spoke to actually cared about me, my business, or the business I was bringing to the hotel as a result of my wedding down the street in Ellicott City. In late 2019 I had negotiated a room block at Turf Valley for our wedding 09/05/2020. I have a lot of family that would be visiting from Seattle, and my fiance has family from Kansas and New Jersey. At first we booked 45 rooms for Friday and 45 for Saturday. When we discussed this later, my mother-in-law encouraged us to decrease the number of rooms soon after we booked them (12 months before the actual reservation). When we went back to Turf Valley they said that they would not be able to update the contract, DESPITE it being 1 month ago. The issue got escalated from the sales person, Zandra, to the Sales Coordinator, Kelsey. Kelsey said that she would not negotiate the contract because “we had sat down with Zandra and talked through the contract, and understood fully before we signed”, which was A LIE. I have never sat down with any of the people,or even spoke to anyone on the phone. So Zandra had lied and said we were so well informed about the contract, when in reality we were an excited couple, going about the planning alone, and had gotten taken advantage of. Eventually we did get a reduction of rooms, but at a 0% attrition rate, so every room would have to be filled, or we would be responsible, and we accepted. BUT THAT WAS JUST THE BEGINNING.
Months later in the summer of 2020, when Covid-19 restrictions were in full effect and we were facing cancelling our wedding, so we reached out to enact the “Force Majure Clause” which states that neither party would be held responsible for the contract given certain acts of god, government laws/unrest/ etc… Since the majority of our guests are from different states, some of which had a ban on travel to Maryland, we could not see us being able to fulfill the contract. When Turf Valley responded, they arbitrarily decided the clause was “not applicable” and that we were to be responsible for the entirety of the contract. IN A PANDEMIC. Turf Valley was NOT accommodating at all during this time, and basically told us, too bad, so sad, you’re responsible for several thousands of dollars of rooms. After consulting with a lawyer, Turf Valley spontaneously offered to let us out of the contract for $1,600.00. At the advice of our lawyer we paid them, despite us not wanting to give them any more money, especially considering they had been just awful and inconsiderate to work with. So they got $1,600 for doing absolutely nothing and then, because the facilities looked nice, and it was the only place close to Ellicott City with a bar/pool/restaurant/ we tried to look past the bad experience, chop it up to crazy COVID times, and decided to stay there for the wedding weekend. BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE.
When we arrived at the hotel nearly all of our guests had trouble checking in, and some of them were offered “an upgrade” and when they got to their rooms it was not an upgrade at all. After my wedding on Saturday, we wanted to hang out and chit-chat on the patio (a reason why we picked Turf Valley) only to be told the patio was “closed” for just that night. My guests were told they could go “out front”.
I suggest you find a different hotel and that you do not give this hotel a dollar of your money.

We had our daughter's wedding reception at the Turf Valley Hotel in the Waterford Ballroom on Saturday, October 19th 2019!! The ceremony was outside in their beautiful Garden. We couldn't have been more pleased.
We even had a rainbow above us as we were walking down the isle!! Our sales associate, Jaime Petit was fabulous and so was our Maitre'D Latisha Johnson. We hosted a breakfast for our hotel guests and it was so lovely, thanks to Victoria and the entire staff!!! The rehearsal dinner was at the Terrace on the Green and that was wonderful, too!!

Our daughter's wedding was one of our greatest days ever! It was Heavenly, awesome, out of this world… I just can't describe accurately in words how wonderful and joyful the celebration was from beginning to end! The bride and groom had a permanent, genuine smiles on their faces all day!
Turf Valley did a fabulous job in all areas of the serving and smooth moves all around! The staff people were kind and friendly and absolutely great servers. One dear gentleman server kept saying "it's my honor!" Thank YOU so much for all your hard work, your calmness, your patience with our many emails, your complete professionalism, and your wisdom in your suggestions.
At the end of the day, the greatest reward was when my daughter said it was all she wanted it to be!!

I would get married all over again at Turf Valley! Turf Valley was the perfect wedding venue for us! They are so organized and made it so easy for us! The outside garden was just beautiful with so many flowers! They picked me up with my parents in a golf cart limo so that I didn't have to walk very far to get down the aisle in my heels. Our reception was in the cameo ballroom and was so lovely! The food was so delicious (they even have delicious vegetarian options) that I am still getting compliments from my friends and family. The staff couldn't have been nicer! Jamie was my wedding coordinator and was AMAZING (try to request her if you can)! And Chris was my wedding coordinator (maitre d') during the day of my wedding and was so great that he even stopped by our rehearsal dinner to check in with us to make sure all of our last minute questions were answered. They even plated mine and my now husband's food for us ahead of time so that we could ACTUALLY EAT! All of our friends are still telling us that we had the best wedding! If you are looking for a beautiful venue with delicious food, then look no further than Turf Valley.

After looking at several venues, we decided Turf Valley Resort was the best option for everything we were looking for on our wedding day. Our Catering Account Executive, Jaime, was absolutely wonderful to work with! Jaime was extremely patient while working with us and thoroughly answered all of our questions in a timely manner. She also provided us with several honest recommendations, but ultimately let us make the final decision. Our Maître D', Chris, was very helpful and made sure everything was setup perfectly! Chris communicated with my mom the night before the wedding, and ensured we had everything we needed at the beginning of the reception. He also attended to us throughout the evening and made sure everything went smoothly. The staff was absolutely wonderful, and the food tasted amazing! We would highly recommend Jaime and Chris, along with the entire team at Turf Valley Resort, to anyone!

Overall, Turf Valley is an incredible venue. Throughout the wedding planning process, we worked with Carol. She was amazing..she answered every question I had quickly and clearly. We had the ceremony in the garden and the weather was perfect. They have a back up plan if you have bad weather. I highly suggest hiring a wedding planner, Turf Valley only comes with a day of coordinator. The food was great, we did the buffet option. It is definitely an expensive venue, but the quality of service and venue match the price. Our reception was in the Waterford Ballroom, which is the only ballroom that is separated from the others. It was the best day ever and I'm so happy we chose Turf Valley!

We had our wedding reception at Turf Valley in September 2018 and everything went perfectly! Leading up to the big day, we worked with Carol and she was so helpful! She always answered all of our emails and questions in a timely manner and always provided answers to everything we needed. She also met with us several times throughout the year to make sure everything was on track. We live out of state so it was especially helpful that she was so responsive via email. Latisha was our Maître D on our wedding day and she so nice and helpful and made sure everything was setup perfectly. She made sure we were always attended to throughout the night. There were 3 or 4 weddings at Turf Valley the same night as ours but they made sure to stagger start times and once our cocktail hour started we didn’t ever really see people from the other weddings. Even with other weddings going on we had no trouble getting photos outside around the resort. We highly recommend Carol and the whole team at Turf Valley and we are so happy with how everything turned out!

She took care of my husband and me, as well as making sure our parents had food and drinks the whole night. The food was very good and service was quick and we'll organized. At the end of the night, they packed everything up for us and had it delivered to our room. They even wrapped up extra plates for us to make sure we had enough to eat!

Turf Valley was an amazing venue! The staff was incredible and working with Jenny made planning my wedding a breeze. We got married the day Ellicott City flooded and the team at Turf was amazing in moving things along seamlessly. My one critique is with the hotel: I stayed in the hotel room with my bridesmaids the night before the wedding because check-in is at 4pm and I needed to start getting ready much earlier than that. I wanted the housekeeping staff to turnover the room before the wedding night (fresh towels, fresh sheets, etc) and since we were in there getting ready, they said they would come back an hour later. They never came back and by the time we were back in our room it was 3am and just realized nothing had been cleaned. Overall, AMAZING experience with the event staff but just had an issue with the hotel.

We spent an eternity looking for the right venue in the Baltimore area. After meeting Jamie Petit, we knew we had the right place. The venue is gorgeous inside and out, and while it's close to Ellicott City if you need anything, it feels peaceful and far removed. Jamie was beyond helpful, and always easy to reach. She kept things moving along, and reminded us for all the planning we had to do! Leading up to the big day, Jamie always asked if there was anything she could do for us. Paul was our maitre-d, and he was phenomenal the day of the wedding. We had planned to get married outside, but ended up getting rained out at the last minute. The crew at Turf Valley, especially Paul, made sure to help our guests move inside and had a backup room prepared for us without being asked. While taking pictures in the drizzle, Paul even brought us umbrellas (which made for some wonderful pictures!). Weddings are always stressful, but Turf Valley made everything perfect. Would recommend TVR to everyone!

We had our reception at Turf Valley Resort in the cameo room. It was absolutely perfect. Literally our day of coordinator-Paul Kelsey had everything set up just as I would have imagined it. Jenny worked with us throughout the entire year and was very responsive and had everything set up the way we wanted it. They literally do everything- from setting up to having the cake made for you. If you want a worry free wedding day you need to have your reception at Turf Valley. I had zero stress the day of my wedding and our pictures turned out absolutely beautiful thanks to the views of the golf course. Definitely recommend!

My daughter's Wedding Reception was recently held at Turf Valley Resort. We were fortunate to find an event planner, Jamie Petit, who not only worked closely with us through the planning process, but gave us solid and great advise, which made my daughters reception magical and memorable!
The Cameo Room looked elegant and romantic and Latisha our Maitre D and her staff went to great lengths to provide us professional, pleasant and timely service. From Cocktail Hour through the reception, a 6 hour event, the appetizers, drinks and main course were plentiful, hot and delicious with the Signature Drinks being refreshing.
Jaime Petit, our Event Planner did a phenomenal job by giving us a list of vendors from florist, to DJ to lightening and drapery which made the planning process easier. The vendors along with Turf Valley Staff transformed this reception room into a beautiful, elegant and welcoming space.
Jamie and her Director were very accommodating when I requested to have permission to have a Pizza Food Truck to end the evening with a delicious send off.
Almost a month later, we still have guests raving about the delicious food and beautiful setting.
We had approximately 45-50 guests and family use the hotel accomodations. The rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. Having guests and family having access to the hotel was another wonderful feature for having the reception at Turf Valley.
Words are never enough to thank Turf Valley and all of their wonderful staff for giving us such special memories that we will cherish for a lifetime!

The wedding was perfect. Really. We enjoyed our rehearsal dinner at Alexandra's Restaurant (Victoria Mangione worked with us here) and the food and service were absolutely the best. Our reception was held in the Cameo Ballroom and we had the Emerald Reception Package. The food and drinks were all delicious. Jaime Pette and her exceptional staff worked every little detail to accommodate our wedding day reception from helping us with the set up our large Italian cookie table and Cigar Bar to packing everything up for us to take home at the end of the evening. Jaime helped us organize everything with planners and checklists so nothing was forgotten. Jaime felt like a family member. We had a breakfast the next morning for all of our guests staying at the hotel (80). Jaime and Victoria arranged for us to have the breakfast buffet in the Tiffany Room for our guests. Their team moved our floral centerpieces to the room for the next morning and it looked just beautiful. Jaime and Victoria took care of us and for that we will always be grateful. When you are at Turf Valley Resort, you are family. We highly recommend Jaime and her team at Turf Valley for your wedding reception. Because of the professionalism and personal touch from Jaime and her team, it was a perfect weekend.

Turf Valley and our amazing venue coordinator, Jamie Petit, were the best options for our wedding. The venue was beautiful and were amazing with helping to carry out our special day. Jamie was the best and helped us out waaay beyond the scope of her actual position with design advice, a shoulder to cry on, and the friendliest support ever. Everyone did an amazing job and made this the best wedding ever, we couldn't have been happier and we're definitely going to look forward to our anniversary stay here. Thank you to Turf Valley, and especially to Jamie for giving us an amazing day that our families won't stop talking about! And thank you especially for taking the time out to learn about our weird and nerdy Legend of Zelda themed wedding and being excited about our weird and nerdy selves.

Turf Valley was a great place to have my reception. Both of my sisters had their wedding receptions here. The planning process was so awesome, they really help you every step of the way. The food was great, service was exceptional. I recommend Turf Valley!

Our wedding was absolutely perfect. My fiance and I specifically picked Turf Valley because it was a one stop shop for everything. We hosted our rehearsal dinner at Alexandra's and Victoria made planning everything a breeze - she even stopped by the dinner to introduce herself and she popped in frequently to assure everything was going smoothly. Everyone raved about the food - we hosted a casual BBQ style rehearsal dinner and the wait staff was very professional and accommodating. We had about 25 rooms booked for the night of our wedding and everyone loved the fact that they did not have to travel between the ceremony to the reception. Jaime Petit was our Catering Account Executive and she was an absolute DREAM to work with. We worked together for about a full year and she was always so responsive and answered all of my questions/concerns so thoroughly. She made planning the ceremony and reception so easy and stress-free. She even made a point to stop by to see me prior to the ceremony which I thought was such a sweet and personal touch. Our ceremony took place in the garden which is BEAUTIFUL, however, it did rain and we had to move it indoors. I must say that Turf Valley was extremely accommodating on this - I really wanted an outdoor wedding and they allowed me to wait out a few showers, and even at the last minute escorted all my guests inside to the ballroom for an indoor ceremony. Although it wasn't my ideal scenario they allowed me the time to wait it out which I really appreciate it. Everyone LOVED the cocktail and reception food and the cake by Debi's Cake Studio was delicious. Our pictures are stunning with the willow trees and golf course scenery in the background. Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend Turf Valley to all of my future brides! The food was amazing, and all of the staff especially Jaime and Victoria who made our wedding weekend one to truly remember!

My husband and I could not have been more pleased with our experience at Turf Valley and celebrating our wedding in October. I grew up going to Turf Valley and never realized how absolutely stunning the grounds are, especially during this time of year. It was a pleasure working with Jaime Petit and staff- they went above and beyond accommodating us and how we pictured our special day! We received such positive feedback from all of our guests at the convenience of the location- locals or anyone from out of town were able to arrive a couple days early, play golf, go to the spa and relax throughout the weekend. With everyone being on-site and in one place, it made it an overall fun weekend for all of our guests. Thank you to Jaime and the staff at Turf Valley for everything!!

We were so happy with our experience at Turf Valley. We loved working with Jaime and were happy with how accommodating Turf Valley was for the several events we held there all weekend. Jaime had an incredible amount of patience with all of the questions and my mom and I bombarded her with. It was nice that our guests could enjoy a variety of activities (golf, pool) before the wedding, that everyone could stay at the venue, and that we could hold all of our events at one location but in different rooms to give a different feel. Paul was our maitre d for our event on Friday evening and all day Saturday and he was phenomenal. Everything ran smoothly and everyone had a great time. We definitely recommend working with Turf Valley for your wedding, especially with Jaime and Paul!

COULD NOT BE HAPPIER!
Turf Valley was WONDERFUL from beginning to end. Our pre-planning cooridnator, Carol, was fantastic. She responded quickly to emails and took meetings to answer stupid questions and made you feel like she really knew what was going on for your day. On the day, there was not one single issue with anything. And if there was, I didn't know about it. The place was beautiful. Even though it rained in the ceremony space, they moved it inside without a hitch and it was absolutely beautiful. I could not recommend them more!
