Beautiful venue!

Ancala went above and beyond to make my wedding magical and beautiful! The bridal suite was stunning and I cannot get over how gorgeous the scenery is for wedding photos. We had our ceremony on the driving range for an evening wedding and the sunset made for the perfect background. Many of our guests are from out of state and they said it was the most beautiful venue they've ever seen. The staff at Ancala, from the catering, to the bar service, to the event coordinators, were exquisite! The food, AMAZING! They were more than accommodating to my dietary restrictions (vegan & gluten free). I would recommend Ancala a thousand times over to anyone looking for a beautiful and spacious wedding venue!

Perfect outdoor wedding!

Oh my goodness! We had our wedding and rehearsal dinner at Ancala Country Club, and it was an absolutely perfect experience from start to finish! The staff went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, and the venue itself is stunning—beautiful views, perfect outdoor space and amazing weather. Our guests still can’t stop talking about the delicious food!! I high recommend the taco night for rehearsal dinner & duet plate for the wedding! Anna was an absolute dream to work with and answered my many emails and phone calls! The team made our wedding day stress-free, and the rehearsal dinner was equally memorable.

Ancala Hawaiian Luau

Ancala Country Club is located within our Ancala guard-gated community. Ancala has an active HOA, which has a Hospitality Committee that organizes various social events. For our Spring event, my committee organized a Hawaiian Luau on April 28th with the Club. Since this was a joint event, the Club and Hospitality worked closely to develop our plan and work out the details. The Club staff, Anna Arndt and Bekah Mitts, were a delight to work with - always cheery, cooperative and complimentary. The ballroom was ready for Hospitality to decorate earlier than expected. The dance floor set-up, tables arranged, including the buffet area and bar. The chef provided exceptional food, cooking up smoked Kalua pork and other Polynesian dishes. Our Hawaiian Luau was a success! We could only accomplish this feat with the help and energy of Anna, Bekah and the Ancala Country Club!!

Gorgeous venue, can't ask for a better place!

When my husband and I were looking for wedding venue, we knew we wanted a place where the ceremony can be held outdoor with gorgeous backdrop with indoor reception. As soon as we were given a tour of the venue, we were immediately sold! Despite being in a country club, you do not need to be a member to have a wedding at this venue. When we booked this venue, Ancala was going thru management changes but that had never impacted planning at all. Jodee made sure my husband and I are well taken care of throughout the planning phase despite all the management changes and when Anna joined the team, she made the final stretch of the planning as seamless as possible.

On the wedding day, Anna and the Ancala team make sure everyone in the bridal party is well taken care of and we couldn't ask for better team to support us. One of the most important aspect of our wedding was having good food and Ancala truly delivered! Not only it's probably the best food we've ever had at a wedding, every single guest raved how tasty it was. Our set up was also perfect and gorgeous and they have some of the most gorgeous backdrop for our ceremony!

Can't recommend Ancala and their team enough for our perfect wedding day!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
