BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO GET MARRIED! I JUST GOT MARRIED HERE AUGUST 21,2011. THE STAFF WAS SO HELPFUL ON MY WEDDING DAY. VERY HAPPY OVERALL! I RECOMMEND THIS PLACE IF YOU WANT TO BE TREATED WELL :)

THANK YOU
RACHEL

My husband and I got married 10/29/2010 and I must say arguably Coyote Hills was the perfect place to get married. Our Friday evening wedding was just a dream come true.

For starters we must give a huge thanks to Stephanie Mervine (Catering Sales Director) and Dan Murray (Food and Beverage Manager). They were so helpful through out the whole process. Utter professionals at their jobs. I can honestly say with them in control it went on without a hitch (not even a hiccup of bump in the road). All because of those two people.

The ceremony site was so tranquil with the waterfall in the background at sunset, and the reception area was great with a beautiful patio overlooking the golf course.

Additionally my husband and I have been to many weddings lately and the one thing that always gets us is that the food is not up to”par”. After the wedding all our guest could not stop commenting on how great the food was. Yes, I know everybody is going to tell you that your wedding was the best, but honestly we could tell it was true because our guests we so enthusiastic about it the food.

So in closing please consider Coyote Hills because you will have the best when working with Stephanie and Dan. It costs a lot of money to put on a wedding now a days, and that’s hard to come by in these economic times. Coyote Hills was worth every penny and then sum.

Thank you Coyote Hills for everything

Destinee & Jack

Thank you Coyote Hills for a dream wedding. My daughter and her fiancé wanted their wedding and reception outdoors. We looked at nine venues in North Orange County, and fell in love with the beautiful setting at Coyote Hills Golf Club in Fullerton, CA. The traditional strategy at Coyote Hills is to have the ceremony outside under the wisteria-covered arbor, surrounded by beautiful gardens, with the “alter” area opened to a beautiful double waterfall. The reception is then moved to the banquet facility, which overlooks the lush grounds.

Kassy wanted to combine the ceremony and reception in one spot; under the arbor. She wanted the site to be fully set up for the reception, with the guests seated at the tables for the ceremony, and then flow right into the reception. Although they had never done an event with that strategy, the catering sales team worked with us to make it happen. Stephanie and Brooke recorded every detail according to my daughter’s wishes.

Three weeks before the wedding, we met with Dan Murray, Food & Beverage Director at Coyote Hills. We wanted to see the arbor site at night to have a clear understanding of the lighting. Dan was in the middle of two events that Saturday night, and stood patiently with us under the arbor and answered every question we had. Dan made it clear that he would do everything to make the wedding special . . . AND HE DID!

We arrived at Coyote Hills at 10:30 am on Friday 9/17/10, to unload all the boxes of decorating items. We found Dan physically working with the crew setting up tables and chairs. The first thing Dan did was ask how we were doing and if we needed anything. Dan has a very helpful attitude.

After seeing the tables under the arbor, we realized that the larger tables would be better; Dan explained that the linens would also fit better. He had the tables changed. Great idea. Our 100 guests were comfortable and there was plenty of room to move around and mingle.

When we returned at 2:00 to start decorating, Dan was right there asking if we would like anything to drink. The tables were all set and everything was taking shape. My daughter designed her own table centerpieces and did not need the “house” centerpieces. Dan had lined the aisle that approaches the arbor with the “house” hurricane candles, and added a special touch of including 3 additional votive candles in between each hurricane lamp. It was beautiful after the sun went down.

The catering team coordinated with our wedding cake vendor (Kassy's girl friend). We supplied our own cake knife and toasting glasses; which Dan made sure were properly placed for our event, and he made sure that were returned to us at the end of the reception. We changed cake table styles at the last minute with complete cooperation.

Then, with our friends setting up the decorations and candy table, my daughter and I retired to the bride’s dressing room with complete confidence in how Dan was coordinating the event. The bride and groom dressing rooms are clean and spacious.

The catering team served sparkling cider in the dressing rooms, assisted with the ceremony entrances, served appetizers, wine, dinner (the chef made 3 special non-dairy meals for our guests), and cut the cake with transparency and efficiency. Our guests were well attended by the crew, and Dan catered to the needs of the bridal party. Every family member was pleased by the service provided by Dan. His calm presence was everywhere; making sure we had everything we wanted. My son and his wife, who had been married out of state two years ago, said they would have loved to have Dan manage their wedding!

Coyote Hills definitely provided much more than an event site. At the end of the reception, the crew helped us box and load the decorations and gifts into our cars. Our guests are raving about the site and service. We truly experienced the best! Thank you Coyote Hills, Stephanie, Brooke, and especially, Dan Murray for the most fantastic wedding experience imaginable!

Our wedding was so beautiful and the lighting on the gulf course at night is so amazing. I was very please and very well worth every penny!

What a magical day for my family and friends to share in our wonderful celebration. We chose Coyote Hills Country Club for the view and the value. We had our ceremony their site and it was beautiful. The waterfall backdrop and flowers and all around scenery made our day special.
We had our reception inside their clubhouse. Our guest went to the restaurant for cocktails and appetizers while we had our wedding photos taken.
The staff was so accomodating and made sure we were well taking care of. We had a couple different sales associates planning our day, and they were all so helpful. This made our day so enjoyable and after a year and a half of planning, it was nice to be able to relax and have fun and celebrate.
We selected friends to be our photographer and videographer. We did use the Country Clubs referals of the cake and DJ. We were happy with everybody.
The service was very attentive. We would like to thank Dan the Matre d' and his crew for making my mom and family enjoy our special day. I am still receiving comments and calls of how beautiful our day was. I would reccomend Coyote County Club to anyone. In fact my cousin is already looking at having her wedding there as well.
Thank you Stephanie and Amanda for letting us have the wedding we dreamed about, you all made it a reality.

We booked Coyote Hills 1 year before event. The coord. changed to Stephanie, and overall she honored what we were promised. The site is breathtaking for the ceremony, the waterfall was spectacular. The Diningroom held 240 with a dance floor a little tight. Dan- the diningroom manager was unbelieveable. He was the most calm, hard working person. He went above and beyond for us, for pre-set up to midnight take down. He had boxed up all toppers, gobblets, top of cake, jewels from the cake, and made sure I had all of them before he left. The passed appetizers were unbelieveable, we had 5 different, but the only neg. comment is they ran out... Sarah the BarTender was absolutely wonderful, kind and could handle any situation that came up with some of the guests. Overall, I would recommend Coyote Hills Golf Course!

First, I would like to say that this location is breath taking! From the moment I stepped on the grounds, I knew this was the place my fiance and I would begin our lives together.Brent, the GM and Stephanie, catering and sales manager are the absolute best! They went above and beyond for me. They made sure my wedding day was perfect!!! Stephanie made sure my rehearsal and my wedding day went off without a hitch. Everyone is still talking about how amazingly beautiful my wedding was and how smoothly it all went. They are also raving about the potato skins and a few of my guest have went back there just for that. Thank you Coyote Hills for making my wedding...the wedding of the year!!! Love, Rocky and Sabrina.

The setting at Coyote Hills could not have been more perfect for my special day. The waterfall glistens behind you as you say your vows to your beloved. The beautiful flowers and vines growing on the wooden trusses is magic. Through all of my searching nothing compared to this picturesque venue. My wedding pictures could not have turned out more exquisite. They are filled with a vibrancy and color. The lighting, the water, the bridges and spectacular trees surrounding the area make your pictures glow with warmth and beauty. The entire staff at coyote hills joined in to make my day memorable and stress free. They made my family feel like their family, comfortable and taken care of. I could not have dreamed up a more perfect day for me and my new husband if it had not been for the help of this tremendously stunning venue at Coyote Hills Golf Course.

The night could not have been any smoother. Coyote Hills Country Club was on top of everything. It was my dream wedding come true. Two top things about the Coyote HIlls Country Club are. 1. Beautiful marriage site outside including waterfall for backdrop. 2. When we took pictures, we were aloud to move around on the golf course with our party and families to capture different shots. Would recommend them over and over!

The Ladies of Coyote Hills were wonderful, they answered all the questions I had and even helped with some that I didn't think about. Everything went smoothly on my big day! They set up my Candy Buffet, Memory Table, Place card Trees....everything was taken care of, I could not have asked for better service and I didn't even need a DOC! The food was fantastic, we had Chicken w/ caper cream sauce and fish which I think was Maui Maui. The cake was ordered through Rockwell's and that was fantastic (another review). It was just a great day!

We just had our wedding in the beginning of Oct (friday) and I have to tell you Coyote Hills Golf Course has a great team right now. Every idea that we had was executed and even exceeded our expectations. We decided to have a gourmet burger buffet and it was absolutely amazing! The Head Chef planned it very well. Even the kids meals were great.
We had around 250 guests and I have to say it was a little tight and there were a few mishaps with seating in the beginning but Dan(f&b director) was helpful took charge immediately to fix the situation. My parents were very appreciative. Brooke and Steph help us with the details and we could not believe how well it turned out. They were on point in answering any questions or concerns for us and even aloud us come in to set up at a reasonable time. The reception was beautiful and lit up with candles and the lake outside, and we were just so happy that night! Although I was unable to use the ceremony site, I highly reccommend this venue for a reception! So helpful and accommodating and they will work with you! Many Thanks...Denise and Tim

I love coyote hills!! It is a beautiful place to have the ceremony and reception. The wedding coordinators are very knowledgeable and they take care of all of the set up! They supported us through the entire process. With the package we went with our cake and limo were included. I would suggest that you should at least consider this venue.

This place is beautiful and the different packages come with a lot of things. Great service and very professional.

The ceremony site was gorgeous and provided a perfect backdrop for our pictures. There were a few bumps in the road at first when we began our planning, but everything turned out beautifully and we couldn't have been happier with our wedding. Our wedding started at 4 and we were actually ahead of schedule! I love that I got to walk through the reception area to get to the ceremony site. I didn't get to see it all set up earlier than that, and I am glad I got to see it when there wasn't anybody in there. The cocktail hour was perfect. We had an open bar for that hour and tray passed appetizers and they were delicious! There was never a need, because there were always servers walking around with fresh trays of food. We were very impressed with the service during dinner. We had a seated dinner and with almost 200 guests we were very pleased to see that everyone was served in a timely manner and the food was very good and cooked perfectly! We had chicken, and I do have to say that I was scared that it was going to be dry and not very good (I think that is a common fear among brides when you are feeding that many people!). The chicken was cooked perfectly and the mashed potatos were fluffy and moist and the vegetables were cooked with the right amount of crispness! Dan the food and beverage director is amazing and is certainly an asset to the team at Coyote Hills. He was there all throughout the night tending to our every need. He went above and beyond to ensure our night was perfect and we are eternally grateful!

Coyote Hills might have the most beautiful ceremony site in the world. See the photo we posted. It's incredible. The service was great too. They actually had a complementary golf cart shuttle service from the clubhouse to the ceremony site for those who didn't feel like walking the 75 or so yards.
The reception ballroom is nice too, and the bar/grill is perfect for a fun cocktail hour.
The catering department does a good job setting things up, but over the course of our reservation and planning process, we worked with three different coordinators, and many of the things that we were told would happen, didn't happen...
The seating chart we were given was inaccurate and the groom's parents ended up sitting numerous tables away, the host bar was not handled as contracted, there was supposed to be a second bar which never was set up, the chair sashes were tied incorrectly, and they lost our cake monogram. We knew going in that no weddings are without problems, and in the grand scheme of things, these were relatively minor, but they were a result of the constant changing of the guard in the catering department.
That said, the food was great - portions HUGE. We had the top sirloin and chicken piccata. They were both very good. The two of us had chicken cordon bleu. However, our understanding is that the best dish in the room was the vegetarian lasagna that the chef had for our no-meat guests.
Dan, the food and beverage director, was excellent - very helpful and conscientious.
The room is classy and beautiful. Our 250 guests fit comfortably, yet we didn't feel like we were in a warehouse.
The bottom line is, the reception came off very well and we all had a good time, but even if we hadn't, the ceremony site still made the choice the right one.

Coyote Hills was very flexible with my wedding arrangements and made sure they always responded to me. The location was so nice and peaceful and the service was great.
