My daughters wedding reception was held at Wedgwood cove in June. The staff and other workers were very professional and helpful with everything. The venue was a perfect place for our families and friends to help our children celebrate their wedding day.

Tina with Wedgewood Cove was made for the wedding business! She is so organized, and personable and eager to help you. Her and her team did a fabulous job for our big day, it went without a hitch! Tina made us feel like our day was the most important and the only thing that mattered to her! We loved the beautiful bridal and grooms suites to get ready in, we had a blast on the golf carts and the pictures we took across the street near the lake are timeless! Our guests are still raving about our incredibly delicious meal from the amazing chef at Wedgewood! Tina made us and our guests feel like family! We canโt recommend Tina and her team at Wedgewood Cove enough!!

Wedgewood Cove was perfect for our wedding day! Bryce the events manager went way above and beyond. The bus we had reserved for our wedding party broke down on their way to pick us up from the church. We called Byrce and he rounded up a great ride for us! All the workers were very nice and pleasent to my guest. The food was very good. Everything was timed perfectly. No long waits for any of the courses and even the last guest to be served were impressed with how fast they were. The location is perfect right between the lake and the course. They have the nice patio and rap around deck that the guest could enjoy their cocktails on. Everything went great. They are a bit spendy for the area but the service is absolutely worth the price.

It is not easy finding elegant and professional reception venues in a very rural area. I wanted to keep my wedding close to home, and luckily there was a perfect venue in the region. Wedgewood Cove provided such a wonderfully orchestrated experience. I felt so comfortable working with the staff, and they made sure that the reception went off without a hitch. Our ceremony finished earlier than planned, so guests begin arriving almost a half hour earlier than we had planned. Because the bartenders were not set to arrive for another 15 minutes, the event coordinator at wedgewood filled in and made sure that the earliest guests were taken care of. We had 300 guests, all of whom were served promptly, the food was delicious, and our pictures on the golf course turned out wonderful. It could not have been more perfect!

I was really happy to have my wedding reception here. It is a beautiful place and they have incredible service. The only warning I would give is that they are on the spendy side. You pay by what percentage of the room you use and you must purchase that much food or beverage or it goes toward your rental. That amount does not include taxes or tip for the servers. I was still incredibly happy with this venue! In my opinion it was well worth the price. :-)
