Above and Beyond

It was such a blessing working with Canterwood to bring about our dream wedding! It really was a dream having our wedding day with Canterwood. It was very affordable and they were flexible with our budgeting. Working with Carly was such a blast. I really enjoyed planning and speaking with her about wedding details. She has so much experience with these events and was so helpful with everything we needed when it came to the venue. She was very prompt with communication and flexible when we needed to come visit the venue. Canterwood did a wonderful job on our wedding day with serving staff and making our reception area, ceremony, and cocktail hour look beautiful and run smoothly. Canterwood is such a beautiful spot to have an outdoor ceremony and we were so happy to have been served so well by Canterwood. Really I have ZERO complaints. They provided all we needed from alcohol, food, getting ready spaces, ceremony indoor, out door flexibility, and a gorgeous venue that will look good with any Brides vision! Thank you Canterwood Golf and Country Club!

Nov. 3rd 2018 wedding.

Such a great experience from start to end. Trista was so helpful and provided great service! The food was amazing and all the different packages Canterwood offered were amazing. Canterwood truly took the stress out of wedding planning by offering linens, alcohol, food and ceremony space all in one. I highly recommend this venue.

The event coordinator at Canterwood in Gig Harbor; Trista Ortiz is amazing to work with! She is SO very kind, understanding and professional-paying attention to each and every detail that is needed so that the wedding party (especially the bride and groom) can be completely at ease so that they can enjoy their special day! She is accommodating to your timelines, and schedule. She is willing to meet at anytime to assist with questions or provide you with a list of experienced and preferred vendors always keeping in mind your needs and budget.

The food at Canterwood was a hit! We heard nothing but fabulous reviews from our guests for months after our wedding day- I did not worry about a thing with Trista's expert help and assistance! It was an absolutely perfect day... largely in part due to the love of my life :) with the help of Trista, and the rest of the wonderful staff at Canterwood! We love them!

First of all Trista is the best! She is the events manager there and she will make sure you have an amazing wedding! The space is beautiful! A very well kept golf course with many places to take gorgeous pictures! My wedding was an absolute dream! We got many compliments on the food & the space itself! The tent is well kept and a great place to have a dance party! I would highly recommend this place it was an amazing value for all the food, decor, and amazing staff that you get!

We were working on a greatly truncated timeline for our wedding. Trista was simply amazing at helping us put together an elegant event that reflected who we are as a couple. The food was amazing, and we got many raves. The fact that we are a same-sex couple was not an issue, everyone made us feel comfortable and welcome. We came in underbudget, and received many "best wedding ever" comments from our friends. The event staff even helped us load in our vintage hi-fi the day before, and kept it safe until our groomsmen could load out the next day. Trista is an angel. Warm, empathetic, creative and 100% committed to exceeding peoples expectations!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I LOVE working at Canterwood Golf and Country Club. 1st and foremost, Trista is the BEST in the industry! Trista and her team are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G !! They are always organized, professional, friendly, always have smiles on their faces, they look like they love what they do, they are always quick to help my clients with whatever they need. The venue is always clean. I love how they offer two options with being in the tent &/or in the building. My clients love being in the tent overlooking the GORGEOUS golf course/scenery. There is also an area on the golf course nearby to do your wedding ceremony if you want it outdoors with BEAUTIFUL photos. (or in the same area, my clients placed "lawn games" there too which is a creative & fun idea. I always highly recommend Canterwood to my clients looking for an Awesome wedding/event venue!!
