An absolute wedding venue gem

We recently had our wedding at Marbella Country Club, and it exceeded all our expectations! Kailee, the wedding venue coordinator, was an absolute gem. As a bride with countless questions, I truly appreciated how patient and responsive she was throughout the entire planning process. Her industry experience, organizational skills, and attention to detail made everything so much easier.

The venue itself is simply stunning. The cocktail hour area is spacious, the ceremony space features a breathtaking open fountain backdrop, and the outdoor reception terrace is especially beautiful at sunset. There are countless photo-worthy spots throughout the property, resulting in some truly amazing pictures! Marbella also provides a perfect canvas for any decor you envision.

Marbella was incredibly accommodating to our needs. They allowed us to drape the indoor dance floor, bring in outdoor desserts (we had Yogurtland), and even use sparklers, which not all venues permit. Kailee also coordinated some special rentals for us through their partner, Signature Party Rentals.

Overall, I couldn’t be happier with our choice of Marbella Country Club. I thought the venue was priced reasonably for how beautiful the venue is, especially being in South Orange County. It was a a convenient location for our guests, many of them found the venue easy to access and appreciated how seamlessly everything flowed. The dinner menu was also delicious! If you’re looking for a beautiful venue with a coordinator who genuinely cares about making your day special, I highly recommend Marbella Country Club!

Gorgeous venue

Marbella Country Club is one of the most gorgeous venues ever. I don’t even remember how I found this gem of a place but I’m so glad I did! The picture of the double staircase into the reception terrace is what made me want to tour, and then meeting Kaile and seeing the beautiful grounds and architecture made us want to sign! The archways and cypress trees give it a bit of a European/Mediterranean vibe, and I loved the outdoor string lights across the dinner terrace and the cocktail hour space. I really wanted an all outdoor wedding under twinkling lights, and I sure found that with Marbella. We did our ceremony on the lawn with the golf course and pond in the background and it was beautiful. Everything is so pristine here, you can tell it’s a very well taken care of space. Kaile was our main contact for Marbella and she was so kind and patient with me as I emailed with her back and forth well over 150 times over the 2 year planning period. While she was out on leave, her coworker Maggie stepped in, and we did our menu tasting with her. Maggie is just as excellent as Kaile and it made us very confident in our decision of booking with Marbella. The email threads I have between both of them are so long, I feel like I have more than enough experience and evidence to say that they are the best people to work with as a bride. No question was too silly or small to answer, and both made sure I had everything I needed for the wedding day. All of our guests loved the venue and were impressed with everything. We had our dance floor and reception inside so that we could continue partying past 10pm. Having a gated entrance and then driving up the road to the fountain and a grand circular driveway with the open air arched hallways in the backdrop made a very good first impression of the venue.

Our Wedding at Marbella

Our wedding at Marbella was everything we dreamed of and more. From the very beginning, the staff was incredible, and the venue coordinator, Kaile, was truly a gem. She made the entire process so easy and enjoyable.
On the day of our wedding, everything ran so smoothly thanks to her and the amazing team. We felt so cared for and could truly enjoy every moment without worry. The venue itself is gorgeous, but what makes it even more special is the people behind it. We are so grateful to Kaile and the staff for making our day absolutely perfect.

A Gem of a Venue

Our wedding at Marbella Country Club was an absolute dream come true! The breathtaking setting amidst the lush green golf course hills created a picturesque backdrop for our special day. The delectable cuisine served was an absolute delight, leaving our guests raving about the flavorful dishes for weeks (some of the best steak we’ve ever had). The friendly and attentive service provided by the staff added an extra layer of warmth and comfort, making everyone feel right at home.

A special shoutout to Kaile, a beyond exceptional coordinator, who worked tirelessly with our wedding designer to create and elegant yet personal wedding reception. She truly went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our day was perfect.

Even when unexpected rain threatened our outdoor reception, the staff at Marbella Country Club swiftly adapted, seamlessly transitioning cocktail hour indoors, while monitoring the weather minute by minute. The rain quickly passed and the Marbella team did a great job of wiping off tables and chairs during cocktail hour so we could still have our reception outdoors. It was a dream even with the rain. Their professionalism and dedication to ensuring our day was flawless truly made our wedding unforgettable.

We cannot thank the team enough for their outstanding service and flexibility. Highly recommended for couples looking for a magical and hassle-free wedding experience!

Marbella Country Club

From the moment we entered the gates of the Marbella Country Club to for our site tour we knew Marbella was a special place and by the time we walked up the staircase to the main terrace we knew Marbella was the perfect venue for our dream wedding. It was the most beautiful setting and had everything we wanted and more.

We had ceremony on the lawn, cocktail hour on the terrace, and dinner on the main terrace under twinkling lights and chandeliers. We loved that there were so many spaces available to use for our wedding. We also utilized the bridal suite to get ready in and had lunch catered by the venue.
The wedding packages were priced very reasonably and we liked that they offered different add-ons. We did add-on a champagne greeting for guest arrival and late night snacks, which were a hit with our guests.

We continue to receive compliments on our wedding, how beautiful the venue was, how tasty the food was, and how wonderful the guest experience was.

We worked with Kaile throughout the entire wedding planning process. Kaile is professional, detailed oriented, and so kind. She always answered our questions promptly. She handled our last minute requests with ease. She was also there for our rehearsal and the day of our wedding. She went above and beyond to make our dream wedding a reality.

10/10 Wedding Venue + Event Coordinator

My husband and I recently got married and we can’t say enough good things about Marbella Country Club and Kaile Watters!
We repeatedly say how happy we are we chose Marbella for our reception venue. We were able to utilize 3 different spaces at Marbella and our guests enjoyed the unique experience. We loved how much natural beauty and elegance Marbella has. Working with Kaile was the cherry on top. I can’t tell you how many times throughout the planning process that my husband and I turned to each other and said “Thank God we picked this place, Kaile is the best.” She was so attentive to our many requests and did everything we asked with a smile (and we asked for a LOT). She was flexible, kind, completely transparent, and always responsive. Like I said, we had many requests and we noticed such a difference between Kaile and other venue event coordinators when we brought up these requests. She worked so well with our wedding planner and the two of them made our wedding day an absolute dream come true. My number one priority when selecting vendors was to go with the people who I would want to be around on my wedding day and Kaile truly was the best. Staying true to that priority made for the most enjoyable experience from start to finish. You will thank yourself 1000x over for choosing to work with Kaile and her team and celebrating your special day at Marbella!

Marbella is all about the details and final touches.

There are so many wonderful things I can say about Marbella. First, let me give a personal thank you to Kaile. She was a breath of fresh air. So was considerate, helpful, and professional. She took the time to answer questions about the venue, as as provide valuable suggestions for the vendors. The day of wedding it was all about the details and final touches. The venue and my wedding planner (H&L Lovely) worked so well together to provide the wedding of our dreams. The staff, the venue setup, and the food was top notch. We still get compliments from our guest on the service and food (so delicious). Overall, it was a fabulous experience and I would highly recommend Marbella. Thanks for all you did to make our day special.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
