Beautiful venue to host our special day!

Firethrone Country Club was a beautiful setting with a great layout for our wedding day. The staff was attentive and accommodating to us and courteous to our guests with excellent service. The banquet menu had a great balance of variety to fit most budgets and was delicious. They provided plenty of time to prep and clean up was a breeze. Overall what we received for the cost came at a very good value. We highly recommend Firethorne as a venue to host your wedding.

Top notch in every way

The country club is wonderful, great view and responsive staff. Bethany was thorough and extremely helpful from beginning to end. The entire reception was seamless and we were well taken care of from the start. I would not hesitate to recommend to others seeking the same country club atmosphere and aesthetic.

Beautiful Venue, Helpful Staff

Firethorne Country Club c was a beautiful venue for our daughter’s wedding. The exterior and interior are truly lovely spaces. The St. Andrew’s room had all the elements that were important to the bride and groom. The room had a beautiful fireplace and accommodated a nice size dance floor. The venue was perfect for the wedding and the food was top notch. Pam, the event coordinator made sure that all the elements of the wedding and ceremony went smoothly. She oversaw all the details on the day of the wedding. We are so happy to recommend Firethorne for an awesome wedding reception.

Highly Recommend!

We knew Firethorne Country Club was going to be our wedding venue as soon as we walked in! The venue is absolutely beautiful inside and out. The space offers an amazing outdoor area with a magnificent staircase in the back. It was a great combination with the indoor bar area for our cocktail hour. Pam, the event director, and her team were amazing throughout the whole process from planning to the big day itself. Everything at the club is done top notch and you are treated like family. Pam was very responsive and accommodating to everything we wanted and needed. She is super friendly, professional, and easy to work with. We always knew we were in good hands and truly never had to worry about something getting done! Pam knows what she is doing and will definitely take some of the pressure of the big day away.

Fabulous Venue!

Firethorne Country Club was an absolutely awesome venue for my daughter's wedding. The exterior is beautiful! The patio, St. Andrew's room, and dance floor allow great flow for a reception. Pam, the event coordinator, was very professional and responsive. And the food was excellent! Many of our guests reported what a great time they had at the reception.

So many great things

There are so many great things to say about this venue, including the staff, the food, and the ease of everything!! To start, the venue is gorgeous inside and out and the layout was perfect for us!! We loved how our guests could enjoy dinner and dancing in one area, bar and photo booth in another, and also be able to enjoy the beautiful evening on the balcony. Next, the staff is amazing! Pam is beyond awesome and we were so lucky to have her working with us. To be honest we had little to no idea what we were doing and she set us at ease and formulated the entire timeline which we were grateful for! On the day of we got to sit back and enjoy our day, Pam and the staff did everything. A big thank you for their quick action regarding the ceremony space which was a tad squishy from all the rain we’ve had. We didn’t even have to mention it and Pam had already ordered turf to put down to make our guests more comfortable and to make it so my dress would stay clean. We were blown away by this! We’re laid back so we would of made it work but she went above and beyond! The other members of the staff were also fantastic! Everyone was so nice and helpful and our guests loved the friendly bartenders! We can’t reiterate enough how much we appreciated everyone! Finally, the food!! Everyone is still talking about the prime rib and the appetizers! A lot of bridal blogs and such mention that the bride and groom typically don’t get to eat much of their food, but not here!! Thanks to the staff we ate a ton and had a wonderful dinner together as newlyweds!
Overall this place is awesome, Pam is amazing, and my husband says he wants to “do it all over again because it was so much fun” which basically tells you all you need :).

We had our wedding at Firethorne this May and it was great! The entire event ran smoothly and all of the staff were very attentive and professional. Pam, who coordinates the weddings, was amazing thru the entire process. She was always prompt to answer emails and my many many questions the month leading up to the wedding. She also eliminated my need to hire a day of coordinator because she runs the event the day of. You get a lot of value for your money at this venue and we have gotten many many compliments on the food. The venue is also beautiful so you do not need to spend a lot on decor, etc. Would highly recommend adding Firethorne to your possible venue list.

Firethorne Country Club was absolutely fabulous! It is a gorgeous venue and everyone we encountered was very friendly and eager to serve. Their event coordinator Pam took care of every single detail and the entire day ran flawlessly. The food was delicious and quite a few people commented on how good dinner was and that they went back for seconds. We can't believe how lucky we were to have had our wedding there. It was so perfect and I highly recommend it. Our wedding day was just perfect and fulfilled all of our hopes and dreams.

I am in still in awe of how perfect Firethorne was for our reception. I knew that it would be difficult to plan a wedding while finishing up college a few hours away, but Pam made the experience a breeze! The venue included everything we could have ever wanted (in-house coordinator, appetizers, main course, champagne toast, bar service, waiters, silverware/place settings, easels/lanterns/candelabras/other decorations, etc.), and they set up and tore down for us! Pam had worked previously with almost all of our vendors, and she made sure that the evening went by without a single hitch. The food was ridiculously good (our friends are still raving), and the Christmas decorations that were already set up made it so that any flowers we added were just icing on the cake! I know we're biased, but this was absolutely the best wedding my husband and I have ever been to. We can't wait to recommend Firethorne to all of our friends!!
