Brooke and the entire staff at Starfire Golfclub were awesome! They were very organized, easy to work with and helpful with the wedding planning process. The food and decorations were also great!

Brooke at Starfire Country Club was so awesome to work with! She was very responsive with emails and phone calls, answered all my questions, and was always welcoming whenever I wanted to come in and meet with her in person. Brooke and her staff were very accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed during the planning process and on the night of our event. The country club itself is beautiful with tons of different spots for pictures and worked out perfectly for my wedding. The best thing of all was the food! I received so many compliments on the food from my guests. I am so glad we found Starfire at Scottsdale Country Club and would recommend it to anyone.

I chose Starfire Golf Club because I wanted my ceremony on a lush green golf course rather than in a sterile indoor setting. I also liked the architecture of the clubhouse because it was not too southwestern-- more classical and traditional for someone who grew up East of the Mississippi. I also like that the club had high quality dark wood chairs for the reception-- rather than standard (ugly) banquet chairs. (I didn't like the slipcovered look and I didn't want to spend an extra $12 per person to rent a nice chair.) Also, it was nice that they had linens to choose from, and resources to take care of getting me a dance floor and grand piano. There was no food and beverage minimum which was nice considering you do not know exactly how many people will be coming (I had 120) and I didn't want to committ to other resort ballroom minimums of $15,000, if we weren't even going to consume that much. In addition, the food and beverage prices were very competetive; I got all the cheese, fruit, veggies, shrimp cocktail, beef wellington, plus maincourse with a choice of carved roast beef, chicken and/or salmon, wine, and drinks PLUS a next-day breakfast for probably the same price or lesser price than the $15,000 it would have cost me for just the reception food.
Now, on to the disappointments: after my initial sit-down with the coordinator at the facility, I called to ask a question, only to find out that he "was no longer with them." Nobody contacted me, I had to find this all out on my own and arrange to re-explain all of my expectations to the new guy. On the day of our rehearsal, the chairs were NOT set up which made me VERY nervous for the rest of the wedding-- whether it would all come together or not. Besides that, only a couple of other things bothered me after the big day. Firstly, I remembered that I had ordered grilled vegetables and they did not serve them. Hindsight, that is sort of embarrassing if people think I planned a meal w/o veggies, although the salad was really yummy, so maybe nobody noticed. Also, I am not a buffet expert, but shouldn't there have been a separate salad plate? I'm not sure how the hors d'ouvres were because by the time I was done with pictures, mine were cold, but I asked a few people and they said they were good (not sure if they were just being polite). Secondly, hindsight, it would have been nice to have the blinds raised since part of my tables were outside. I think it would have made the group more unified, but again, I didn't think of it until I got my pictures back.
If I had done it all over, I would NOT have done much differently; I still would have chosen the venue, but perhaps hired my own coordinator to worry that day so I didn't have to. I think the people in charge over there are experts in their field, but not super detail-oriented.
