We chose Columbia Country Club for the classic and comfortable atmosphere! The event coordinator was very helpful in planning the reception, working with vendors and providing us with ideas to help keep the event running smoothly and on time.

We were able to use the Columbia Country Club for "First Look" photos and wedding party photos, too. They were very accomodating and the photos turned out amazing with the trees just beginning to bud out and the golf course so green. Great place for photographs! And they did not charge us to do the photos.

We had our reception at the Columbia Country Club.

The reception itself was fine -- beautiful venue, delicious food, and a good wait staff! I loved the place! The value was good also, because it was affordable (to us), included linens, mirrors and candles for the tables, cake cutting, china, silverware, and has a built in dance floor.

The main issue we had was that from the time we booked it to the time we had our wedding, the coordinator changed three times, and we were not informed any of those times (we found out by calling to set up meetings). The coordinator also did not show up the day of the rehearsal, which we were also not informed of until that day.

Overall, it was a nice venue, and worth the money we spent on it (though they just raised the prices), but it wasn't without its irritations.

The Columbia Country Club was a fabulous venue for our reception! After seeing it in person, we did most of the booking and prep via email, so occasionally there was some lag in response time, but overall I was pretty pleased. (We were from out of town, so most things had to be done from a distance.)

The Country Club was very accommodating, and Melissa could not have been a better person to work with—she's very peppy and was excited about making our celebration fun for everybody. She'd worked with a number of weddings there, so she had a lot of helpful suggestions. We also got to meet our chef beforehand, and he even came out to check on us during our reception--how awesome is that?! The food was amazing (we did an Italian buffet), and we received compliments on the food even a couple weeks later.

It's a beautiful location, so not much extra decoration was required. They took care of tables, linens, etc., and we were able to borrow their vases and candles for free. We had the whole morning to decorate the ballroom and sun porch with our flowers, favors, etc., although they were happy to help set those things as well. The golf course was also beautiful in June, so it made for a number of great picture-taking opportunities, and the bridal party had fun riding around in the golf carts!

One tip: We had a Sunday wedding, which meant our food & bev minimum was half of a Saturday wedding, and we could be a lot more flexible with our menu and bar selections.

Nikki is a very nice lady and very easy to work with. She worked well with last minute changes, including going from an ipod wedding to a DJ the very last week before the wedding! The Columbia Country Club does its own catering and it was fantastic! All the food was delicious and the tasting was so much fun!
