Boca Lago Golf & Country Club

If you’re in the middle of picking a wedding venue and planner, then you already know it’s one of the most stressful and overwhelming decisions you’ll make. Is this going to look good in pictures? How’s the food? Will they treat my guests like kings and queens? How much is it going to cost? 

Those are a few of the questions we were asking ourselves. And let me tell you. Jen at Boca Lago made everything better than we could have imagined. Here’s why: 1. She’s super organized! I guess after planning and managing 1,300+ weddings over the past 20+ years she’s got it down to a science! 2. She doesn’t forget ANY details. And if you’ve never planned a wedding before, there are so many details it’s virtually impossible to check all the boxes. But with Jen, you will never have to worry. She works backwards from the date of your wedding to make sure you’re “checking off tasks” WAY before it gets stressful. 3. Her team is top-notch. Jen’s team will become your family. From her assistant to the head chef, the entire team will know every detail about your wedding. Get this… I’m a member a Boca Lago. And a few weeks after the wedding I’m sitting outside at the bar and one of the staff members says “hey I really loved your Odyssey Him & Her drinks at the wedding!” I’m like… wow… you remembered those?" and the bartender said, "how could we forget? Jen was prepping the team to make these just right for weeks before you date!” That’s what you can expect from Jen and her team. 4. Jen is easy to deal with. She reads the room, understands energy, and knows when to push and when to lay back and allow things to fall into place. I was texting her the entire day of the wedding and she never once left me hanging for more than a few minutes. She’s on it. And she’s on it because this is what she does. And she does it with passion. 5. The food at Boca Lago was such a standout part of our wedding. We weren’t expecting it to be one of the highlights, but our guests are still talking about how good everything was. The quality speaks for itself — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. As longtime members, we already knew the food was great, and they truly delivered on our big day. 6. THE PRICE. Boca Lago’s pricing is very competitive. But here’s the thing… it’s not like so many other vendors who sell you the dream. Boca Lago actually undersells the value. What they offer in terms of services, attention, setting, extras, and COMMUNICATION… makes this venue worth far more than they charge. The venue cost will not even be on the top of your list of expenses to worry about. I could give you another 100 reasons why we’re so grateful to have picked Jen at Boca Lago to make our dreams come true on our wedding day. But instead, I’ll leave you with this. If you’re considering a wedding a Boca Lago, do yourself a favor and go meet Jen in person. Ask her a million questions. She’ll listen. Give you answers. And add ZERO pressure. In fact, she’ll probably reduce your stress levels by a lot. If you do that now, as soon as possible, I promise when your wedding day shows up (and it will come way faster than you think) you’ll be thankful you read this review later. Thank you, Jen, for making our wedding better than we could have ever dreamed! 

You’re the best… and you’ll forever be our #1 Wedding Coordinator, Planner, and every other title you wore on our special day! Love, the French’s

I’m not sure where to start. Jen Marden is the perfect balance of professional and genuinely caring. She made planning the most important weekend of our lives feel manageable and even enjoyable. She guided us through every detail, supported us during stressful moments, and was there whenever we needed her. The food and the room were exceptional. Guests are still telling us how amazing everything tasted. We truly could not recommend Jen and her team more highly.

We truly had the most incredible day of our lives at Boca Lago — we couldn’t have chosen a better venue!

From the moment we started planning, everything felt seamless and exciting. Our event planner, Jen, was absolutely amazing. She made us feel so welcomed and cared for, accommodated every little thing we wanted, and kept communication clear and consistent the entire way. She made the whole process feel completely stress-free, which is priceless when planning a wedding.

On the big day, everything was beyond perfect. The space looked beautiful, the décor was stunning, and the staff went above and beyond for us and our guests. So many people told us how attentive, kind, and professional the wait staff was, and how delicious the food was. We received compliments all night long!

If you’re considering Boca Lago for your wedding, don’t even think twice — book it. It was truly a dream come true, and we would recommend it a thousand times over!

Boca Lago was the venue for our wedding in December 2025, and we cannot speak highly enough about the site and the team there. Jen and the entire catering staff were incredible as they worked with us for a year to make sure we had the perfect wedding day. The food was incredible, atmosphere uplifting during the ceremony, and built for a party during the reception. We recommend Boca Lago to all looking for a classy venue with a team that will customize anything and everything for your special day!

We hosted our wedding at Boca Lago Country Club on November 15th after nearly two years of planning, and switching to Boca Lago ended up being the best decision we made, second only to marrying each other. We actually forfeited our deposit at another venue to make the change, and we would do it again without hesitation.

From the very beginning, working with Jen was hands-down the best part of the entire planning process. She is truly one of a kind. Not only did she bring every single idea and vision I had to life, but she somehow managed to do it while gracefully handling my husband’s very real OCD, laser-sharp attention to detail, and perfectly timed witty sarcasm. And yes, I have to mention the chandelier. It was absolutely stunning and honestly one of the reasons I fell in love with this venue in the first place. Jen understood how much it mattered to me and made sure it was showcased perfectly. She met every question, tweak, and last-minute thought with patience, humor, and total professionalism, and somehow made the entire process feel easy and enjoyable.

The venue itself is stunning, but what truly sets Boca Lago apart is the experience, especially the food. Coming from an Italian New Yorker, that compliment does not come lightly. Still to this day, our family and guests are talking about how incredible the food was. From cocktail hour to dinner, every bite was exceptional.

My dream was to have a New York, old-school Italian-style wedding, something I honestly didn’t think was possible in Florida. Jen went above and beyond to make that dream a reality, exceeding every expectation we had. The level of care, attention, and passion she put into our day is something we will never forget.

If you’re looking for a venue that is beautiful, organized, and truly committed to delivering an unforgettable wedding, Boca Lago is it. And if you’re lucky enough to work with Jen, just know you are in the absolute best hands imaginable!

I had my wedding at Boca Lago on November 15th…after almost two years in the making. We even lost our deposit at another venue to switch to Boca Lago — and honestly, it was the best decision we ever made (second only to marrying each other, lol). Working with Jen was hands-down the most fun and amazing part of the entire planning process. The way she brought every single idea and vision I had to life was unreal. She went out of her way to make everything feel easy, exciting, and stress-free, which was such a breath of fresh air for us.

Not only is the venue absolutely beautiful, and not only is Jen the most incredible person to work with, but the food…my God, the food. Coming from an Italian New Yorker, that is the biggest compliment I can give. It’s been 13 days, and my guests and family are still talking about how incredible everything tasted.

My dream was to have a New York, old-school Italian-style wedding — something I didn’t think was even possible in Florida — but Jen went above and beyond to make it happen. I truly don’t have the words for how grateful we are for her and everything she did.

If you’re looking for a venue and food that will absolutely wow your guests, Boca Lago is the place. And if you’re lucky enough to work with Jen, just know you’re in the best hands imaginable.

Jenn was incredible to work with and met all of our needs perfectly! We highly recommend Jenn and Boca Lago for any special event! The room was great because we could invite up to 400 people and our guests are still raving about the food and service!

I cannot express my gratitude enough to Jen and Maddie - the ladies of the events team at Boca Lago Golf & Country Club. This venue is truly enhanced by their services, attention to detail, and overall support in the whole wedding process for any Bride. When we first toured this venue, we of course thought the ballroom was beautiful, as well as their ceremony location options, but what really set this location apart from the others was Jen. Her kindness and support throughout this whole wedding planning process were beyond helpful. She also has a room full of decor pieces that you can use with no extra cost, and so many fit the overall vision of our big day. And on the day of, she was there through every step, ensuring the smooth timeline and making sure we were fed lol!

As a bride who can stress very easily and is probably too micromanaging over things like this, Jen kept me at ease and calm throughout it all. I cannot recommend this venue enough to future brides and couples looking to have their fairytale wedding!

We had our wedding reception at the Boca Lago Country Club in July of 2025. Jen was our wedding reception planner/coordinator along with Madison and from the moment I reached out through their website, we received a phone call, set up a day to tour the venue, and got the ball rolling. No time was wasted and we were able to plan our wedding in 3.5 months. The venue even before decorations is gorgeous from the beautiful views of the country club and fountain to the chandeliers on the ceiling. They worked very well with other vendors and accommodated us greatly. Jen and Madison made sure that even though I had the ceremony at another location, that our wedding day was seamless. Guests of our wedding have told us that our wedding was not only beautifully decorated, but the best wedding they have ever been to and this is due to Jen and Madison’s hard work and dedication. We had food and dessert stations through the venue’s menu and the guests and ourselves thought it was outstanding! Also, the price for the venue for extremely reasonable. If you just got engaged, don’t walk…RUN to Boca Lago Country Club. You won’t be disappointed!

My wedding was June 21, 2025, at Boca Lago and words can’t express how Thankful my husband and I are that we chose this venue. We were in conflict between Boca Lago and another venue whose price was comparable, but Jen was willing to work with us and sold us with her personality and all that came with the package. We received a beautiful venue with a beautiful Bridal Suite, a delicious Buffet Dinner, Cake that was not just beautiful but tasted good and the biggest plus…Jen as our Day of Coordinator with her assistant Madison. They helped us along the way and our guests were so impressed, they couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful our wedding was concerning the beautiful venue, the food and cake was delicious, and Jen and all the staff were extraordinary. I highly recommend the Boca Lago as a Wedding Venue. Thanks Jen and Team!
Love, The Thicklin’s
