Trisha Sent on 08/25/2024An 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! -

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! -

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. -

If you're searching for a truly enchanting wedding venue, look no further than Marbella Country Club. From the moment my husband and I stepped foot on the property, we knew we had found the perfect place to celebrate our special day. Our experience at Marbella was nothing short of magical, thanks to their exceptional service, incredible food, and the outstanding efforts of their talented event coordinator, Kaile Watters.
Let's start with the food. Marbella Country Club boasts a culinary experience that is simply out of this world.

Her passion for her job and dedication to creating the perfect wedding experience shone through in every interaction. Kaile's attention to detail and creativity were truly remarkable. She took the time to listen to our vision, offering valuable suggestions and ideas to enhance our wedding day.

We could not have chosen a better venue for our wedding. Since our first meeting with Kaile, she was so organized and made us feel so welcome. The planning process with her was so seamless and we received so many compliments on the food, drinks, venue and overall day. We had so many last-minute changes with guest count etc and Marbella was so accommodating and truly made our wedding the most special day of our lives! Thank you again Kaile and Marbella team! -

Where do I even begin?! This venue is breathtaking, spectacular food and service. Our coordinator, Kaile, was such a pleasure to work with. She is so friendly, accommodating, very responsive, and made our wedding planning so effortless. My guests raved about the service at the reception and how great the food was! The venue is a perfect place to take your post ceremony photos. I really couldn’t have picked a more perfect venue. Venue is so clean and immaculate. The reception faces a gorgeous view of the golf course and overall just breathtaking. I immediately booked this venue on our first visit. So look no further! -

First off, I cannot express how thankful I am to have had my dream wedding at Marbella. Not only was the Venue breathtaking, but Kaile (Event Coordinator) and her team was an absolute BLESSING!!! They were understanding with my European culture and accepted the ethnic traditions we have, Kaile was extremely helpful and responsive, not only did she calm my pre wedding jitters, she was one of the biggest blessings I had while planning my wedding. I would recommend Marbella Country Club to any bride wanting their wedding in Southern California!! -

Crystal Sent on 02/03/2023As A Vendor, This Venue is a Dream to Work at!
okay...this review is a long time overdue! I am a wedding planner and had the absolute pleasure working with Kaile and her team. As a wedding vendor, you always want to work with professional vendors who are team players and Marbella Country Club and their staff were just that! They were so accommodating from our first correspondence all the way to the end of the event. Our couples wedding couldn't have ran any smoother than it did and it was thanks to the ease and professionalism of the venue and staff. Thank you Marbella Country Club! Would be an absolute dream to work with you all again! -

Marbella Review for Summer Wedding
Kaile and the entire Marbella team were amazing to work with! They were responsive, professional, and very accommodating. Kaile was so receptive and easy to work with. She put up with my endless questions and changes from table seating to linen colors. Also the food here is outstanding. My guests were raving about it for weeks after. The scenic backdrop of the golf course paired with Marbella's excellent service and professionalism truly made our wedding one of a kind. If you are looking for a beautiful, elegant, and timeless venue, look no further. Marbella has everything for everyone, and it is gorgeous. I can't thank Kaile and everyone at Marbella enough for helping us finally celebrate our long awaited wedding! -

Sydney Sent on 03/20/2022Marbella is the BEST!
We absolutely LOVED having our wedding at Marbella! The staff was so friendly and professional. Kaile is the sales director for all the weddings and she is AMAZING. So sweet, knowledgeable and was one of the main reasons why we chose Marbella because we could tell she truly cared about us. The actual venue is gorgeous and so well kept. We got SO many compliments on the food and drinks, which were part of our package at Marbella. You can also use their preferred vendors, which we did, and they are top notch. We had pretty bad weather conditions pop up three days before our wedding, and Kaile and the entire Marbella team were SO helpful and worked overtime to help us adjust our plans (moving our whole wedding inside), pulled in other vendors to help us and changed our whole wedding plan with a smile on thier face. It took all of the stress off of us, which is what Kaile and her team accomplished throughout the whole process - took headaches off our plate and put it on theirs. My husband and I had the ablsute BEST day, and a huge part of that was Marbella and thier amazing team. Best wedding venue ever!! We would (and will) highly recommend Marbella and Kaile to anybody looking into venues for their wedding, they are simply the gold-standard. -

The Perfect Venue
Marbella Country Club was the perfect venue for our daughter's wedding reception. It was truly beautiful. The backdrop of the golf course was stunning. The grounds were the perfect place for cocktail hour, and the terrace was ideal for dinner and dancing. The staff made the whole process very easy. Kaile Watters was exceptional. She was incredibly supportive when we had to move the date during the pandemic, and then was amazing throughout the entire planning process. There were so many details and she helped pull them all together beautifully. On the day of the reception, Travis, the food and beverage manager, was also amazing. He went above and beyond to make the entire event perfect. I would highly recommend this venue for any large event. -

This wedding venue was perfect for our wedding. The country club has beautiful architecture and beautiful grounds. San Juan Capistrano has perfect weather all year and our July 3rd wedding was no exception. The food and drinks were fantastic. Everything we wanted was available through Marbella. Event set up was seamless, everything happened without me needing to say or do anything! Working with Kaile from Marbella was so nice. We had a great tasting and then a great final details meeting. Our overall experience was so phenomenal we will cherish this day forever! This was a very elegant venue and I’m so happy we got married here!Marbella Country Club's reply:
Thank you for your review, Katelyn! It was such a pleasure working with you and Marco! Hope see you both again soon! -

Alison Sent on 06/23/2021Marbella is a GORGEOUS Wedding Venue!
Marbella was the PERFECT venue for our wedding. Kaile was very professional and on top of things. You can tell she is a seasoned Event Manager. She was very helpful in explaining what to expect and maintained contact with me throughout the process. We were married in May 2021, so leading up to our wedding date, we had fears Marbella would not be open in time due to COVID. Kaile advocated for us and we were able to keep Marbella as our venue. The ceremony lawn at Marbella is unparalleled and the flow from ceremony, to cocktail hour, to reception is flawless. We had our reception on the Catalina terrace with bistro lighting and chandeliers and it was stunning. Our wedding was a true fairy tale. Several of our guests commented on what a gorgeous venue Marbella is and their food is delicious too! Another plus is Marbella has a fairly large Bridal Suite, so you can have all of your bridesmaids, Mama's, and vendors (such as make-up artists) in there comfortably. The Groom's staging area is upstairs and the Bridal Suite is downstairs, so there's no chance the groom can accidentally see you before the wedding, which was important to me. Although a small thing, something else I loved about Marbella is they recently renovated their Women's bathrooms and they are GORGEOUS! The entrance to Marbella is very grand with a gate and meticulous landscape providing an elegant experience for the guests from the moment they arrive all the way through the end of the reception. Marbella played a key role in providing my now husband and I the wedding of our dreams. I would HIGHLY recommend Marbella!Marbella Country Club's reply:
Alison,
Thank you so much for your review! Your wedding day was absolutely stunning and we are so happy we were apart of it!

Yesi Sent on 09/12/2020Beautiful venue!
We searched endlessly for venues so we could host our reception on September of 2019. We’re from Chicago and wanted to get married in Southern California, so we wanted a venue that had inside and outside options. We found Marbella and connected with Jennifer. She was amazing from the start. Very well organized and detailed. Since we’ve never done this before, she was excellent in lending her advice and helpful tips. Easily accessible through email and phone. Always answered our questions thoroughly. We all met in person weeks before our wedding and got to see the venue first hand on our visit. It was very helpful to us and allowed us to determine where everything would be set up. We also did a tasting of the food and wine choices and it was amazing to say the least. Their chefs were accommodating with my gluten free diet as well. Kaile took over a couple of weeks before our reception and helped us all the way through. Marbella is on a private property but once inside, very open and beautiful scenery. The staff was wonderful on the day of and nothing was out of place or reach. We highly recommend this venue!Marbella Country Club's reply:
Thank you so much for your review! We were honored to be apart of your special day and wish you the best! -

Neeki Sent on 10/07/2019Best wedding venue got so many compliments!
We decided to go with Marbella County Club because of it's beauty, location, professional staff..and most importantly availability . We had to plan our wedding in two months and staff was so reassuring and confident that we could pull it together! They were truly phenomonal regarding pricing too. We checked out 25 venues in Orange County and none of them compared to Marbella. There are special extras that Marbella gives you that other places will nickel and dime you on. There are no surprises. They are honest, and their price sheet is straoghforward. The day of the wedding, staff , especiall Kaile went above and beyond and even helped me with my rehersal even though she was supposed to go home :). I was brought to tears when I saw my venue on my wedding day. All my vendors also complimented the venue, saying that staff was helpful and accomodating. Not once did myself, or vendors or anyone in the wedding party hear the word "no" or it's "impossible." I just can't stop talking about this place. Their wedding packages are amazing, the venue is beautiful, the food was EXCELLENT. Highly highly highly recommend this place. -

Cristina Sent on 08/14/2019Amazing Experience!
We are extremely satisfied with the exceptional work Marbella provided for the day of our wedding! The venue in itself offered an elegant and timeless atmosphere, something the wedding guests raved about days after. The staff was so flexible and willing to work with us, and made the planning phase seemless. Jennifer was always available to answer any questions my husband and I had, and was willing to work with us with any issue that arose. Kailee was also wonderful to work with; she was able to fine tune all of the details to create such a memorable wedding day for us! Candice with Engaged Events was our wedding planner who was absolutely phenomenal! She seemed to work so well with Jennifer and Kaile as well as all of our other vendors to make our wedding 100 percent stress free and absolutely perfect. I highly recommend Marbella and Engaged Events and am so thankful for both teams! -

Marbella was the perfect venue for us. From the time we entered the gates of the country club, we were surrounded by the beautiful scenery and felt like we had traveled far to this getaway, even though it was only a couple cities. The layout of the venue was great too, because guests were taken to different areas for each part of the wedding. Jennifer and Kaile really went above and beyond for us as well. From our first visit to the day of the wedding, they helped make our vision come to life and we couldn’t have asked for a better team. -

Nicole Sent on 12/12/2018Wouldn't have changed a thing!
My husband and I got married on November 3rd, 2018 at Marbella and everything about it was perfect. I would like to first point out that I was planning our wedding from Memphis while my husband lives in LA so there were some hurdles to cross in terms of planning but Marbella did make it seamless.
Jennifer was our coordinator at Marbella and from day one she was extremely professional, excited and accommodating. We had requested 2 tastings (one with and without the parents), and 3 walkthroughs of which Jen needed to be planned the weekends I was in town and Jen made them happen with no hesitation.
Since Marbella only takes on one wedding a weekend, all of the focus was on our wedding that weekend. Marbella allowed us to set up early, gave us the options to drop things off the night before, and pick things up the day after— which was exceptional considering how busy we were that weekend.
Marbella has their preferred vendors, which we willingly used for all our rental supplies, food, cake, etc and we could clearly see why they were preferred. Our wedding was set throughout the entire reception space with our dinner being on the patio underneath a fabric tent and the dancing inside. When we arrived on our wedding day the place looked like a dream. All of our guests were amazed at the view and beauty of the venue, starting with the fountain at the entrance to the scenic golf course in the back.
My husband and I wanted to have a wedding that focused more on quality than quantity and so we wanted the best of everything. It’s safe to say that we had no regrets on our choice of venue and food. As stated our dinner took place on the patio under a fabric tent with chandelier lights. This allowed for our guests to take in the sunset and appreciate the nice California weather. For dinner, we chose the duet of filet mignon and sea bass and it was cooked to perfection. The filet was cooked to a med-med rare of great quality and the sea bass was moist and flaky. Our guests were beyond satisfied with the meal and amazed at the quality of the cuts, preparation, and presentation. While Marbella doesn’t cater their own wedding cake, they do cover the costs of the cake to be made at one of their preferred bakeries which in my opinion is better since more customizations can be made.
Later on in the evening, after much dancing, we had an In-n-Out trailer arrive and serve their signature burgers to our guests. This was a special treat as my whole family is from NY. Marbella allowed the truck to park in the back at the bottom of the stairs which created much anticipation as everyone— as full as they were— could not wait to get their hands on a juicy burger.
We ended the night with a sparkler send off which looked beautiful in front of the fountain in the night sky. We really couldn’t have asked for a more perfect night to celebrate our love with our family and friends.

Stephanie Sent on 04/23/2018Jennifer Wolf and Kaile Watters were such a joy to work with at Marbella. I had done a lot of venue scouting for the location of our wedding and was exhausted with the process and the struggle with not finding “the one”. I discovered Marbella through The Knot and was so glad that I did. I met with Jen, the event sales director, to go over their offering and to tour the location. Not only was the venue gorgeous it also allowed for us to have an intimate setting, which a lot of the venues I looked at did not. Everything about this location was amazing. I received so many compliments from family and friends about how beautiful the venue was for our wedding and the feeling that we were the only ones there. They did an outstanding job, from the food, gourmet coffee and hot chocolate station, to the overall set up of our reception and ceremony. Everything was outstanding and could not have been accomplished without the help of Jen and Kaile. I would recommend this location to anyone that is looking to get married!
