Ford's Colony Country Club

To preface this, I want to mention that I worked in the events industry for 9 years at a very busy venue, on top of having spent over a decade in the theatre. So when I went into the wedding planning process 18 months before my wedding I had VERY specific ideas of what I was looking for and for the people I wanted involved. Ford's Colony met and exceeded those expectations by a mile. Kristen was warm and very detail oriented, and we clicked right away as I began the planning process with them. Then I met Natalie and WOW! She takes what she does seriously, pays SO much attention to every detail and genuinely cares about her clients. She also knows all the best spots to take the photographers too! The food was delicious, the bartenders friendly and poured a good drink, and all of the staff were inviting, kind, professional and helpful beyond measure. Given that this was a same-sex wedding, it was also very important to me to find a venue that was open minded and drama-free. Not once did I ever feel I got a sideways glance or odd look from anyone at Ford's Colony. The entire staff of the venue couldn't have been kinder, even when we over-ran their bar for pictures before they opened! No wedding is complete without its share of minor heart stopping moments, and ours was no different. But Natalie and Ford's Colony were professionalism itself from start to finish and never said "Oh no!" The only response to ANYTHING from them was "Ok, and this is what we are going to do." When I saw Natalie PERSONALLY trying to resew and fix the zipper on the DJ's dress after it broke before the ceremony I was floored, and KNEW I had chosen the right place. Many venues are beautiful, have amazing food, quality staff and a great feel. ONLY Ford's Colony and Natalie can and will deliver that, but SO much more. They have heart and passion for both what they do and the people they work with as well as their clients.

Wow, thank you Ford's Colony Country Club, butnkor importantly thank you to our day of coordinator Natalie!!! She made things so seamless and her professionalism and warmth made the day all the more special. Beautiful venue, great food, wonderful service. Thank you!

We loved working with Ford Colony Country Club's Director of Private Events Kristin Collins through the wedding day planning process. She was very responsive, flexible and helped us navigate through any issue that stymied our planning. We are extremely grateful and thankful to her and her team to make our wedding venue and wedding forever memorable for us and our guests. Our wedding was a huge success in part due to Ford's execellent team and we are so elated that we chose Ford's Colony Country Club as our wedding venue. The Garden Pavillion is absolutely breathtaking during evening and is a perfect venue for cocktail parties and receptions! Our guests loved the bar setup and seating arrangement on the dock outside the Garden Pavillion. The appetizers that were served prior to our wedding ceremony were loved and appreciated by our guests. Country Club's dining hall was chosen for our wedding ceremony and we couldn't have been happier with the ceremony's venue. Plenty of light in the hall. We highly recommend this venue for any couple who's looking into getting a wedding of their dreams! Staff is very responsive, helpful and professional!

Melissa Vine the event coordinator is exceptional. She is extremely detail oriented, organized and thoughtful. She cares about her client’s vision and does whatever she can to achieve it. She made wedding planning a breeze. She talked to all our vendors, figure out schedules and always made sure that we were on the same page. She suggested a lot of things that I haven’t even thought of. The day before The wedding one of my bridesmaids’ bouquet was dying. Melissa went out of her way the morning of the wedding and bought flowers and redid the bouquet. She definitely goes above and beyond her job duties. She made our dream wedding a reality. I heard a lot of people say that the day of the wedding a lot of thing go wrong. It wasn’t the case for us. We had the best time of our lives. Thank you Melissa and Ford’s Colony for everything.

Fords Colony was wonderful! I booked this venue pre-covid, and got married May 2021. Melissa, the Director of Private Events, was OUTSTANDING. She and her team worked with us for months and months talking through capacity uncertainty, social distancing, etc. Melissa truly went above & beyond to make our entire wedding weekend special. At the end of it all, I felt like she was a friend, rather than an employee of the venue!! Of course, the venue was beautiful, the food was delicious, and the set up was impeccable, but the thing that stands out the most about this venue is Melissa! I HIGHLY recommend!

Planning a wedding in 2020 took a great deal of patience, and ability to look beyond the uncertainties ahead. Throughout the entire wedding planning process, Melissa and Peter were so accommodating, and took away so much of that uncertainty. They handled each change (and there were quite a few) with understanding, professionalism, and attention to detail. They went above & beyond to make sure our wedding day was special, and that our guests were comfortable. Additionally, Melissa and Peter took the time to know us, and form a personal connection - which really sets them apart, especially when you’re celebrating one of the most exciting moments of your life.
We are SO glad we chose FCCC for our wedding. Thank you to Melissa and Peter!
We could not have asked for a better wedding-day experience.

Ford's Colony has been absolutely incredible! The place is so beautiful and they have so much to offer! I fell in love with it when picking my venue. Once I saw Ford's Colony, I canceled every other venue tour I had scheduled. My wedding has suddenly been postponed due to covid-19, and the people at Ford's Colony have been the absolute best at getting that rescheduled for us! We are forever grateful for Jessica and Peter!!!

We had such a wonderful experience with Ford's Colony. They were so helpful with planning, flexible with our requests, and really went out of their way to make our day special.

Choosing Ford's Colony Country Club as the venue for our wedding and reception was hands down the best decision I could have made. From beginning to end, I don't have a single complaint. The staff is incredible. I worked with Courtney and she was AMAZING. She made sure everything was taken care of and kept the whole day on track and took away all the stress. The staff working the reception were all so kind and attentive. The food was incredible. We decided to stray from the traditional menu and do stations-- taco bar, slider station, mac and cheese bar and salad bar. It was a HIT with the guests and I was appreciative that the venue was able to make it work for us. Not to mention, this place is GORGEOUS. Without having to add a whole lot. The chivari chairs, linens (depending on color), tables, all included in price. Even gold (or silver) chargers! The reception area has beautiful chandeliers, lighting, and draping on the ceiling. The room we got married in has so much natural light. I could go on and on, but the bottom line is this place is awesome. Great value, reasonably priced, great staff, great food, and beautiful. If I had to to it all over again, I would absolutely still choose Ford's Colony.

When I was looking for a wedding venue, I wanted to make sure there was a good indoor option for both the ceremony and reception. Ideally, I wanted this to be two different spaces, but I wasn't sure I would be able to find it. When I walked into Ford's Colony Country Club, I knew I had found the place! Our ceremony room was beautiful with walls of windows and natural light. Cocktail hour was on the patio outside, and our reception was in the lovely Garden Pavilion. It was absolutely perfect! Ford's Colony provided the chairs and linens, and they also provided all of the food. Our meals were delicious, and I have gotten numerous comments from my guests about how good everything was. We got positive feedback on our appetizers and our signature cocktail as well. Ford's Colony was great to work with, and the venue was perfect! The spaces are lovely, so we did minimal decorations. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an indoor or outdoor wedding venue. They have some lovely outdoor ceremony spots too, but I didn't want to risk anything with the weather. Again, we are so happy that we chose Ford's Colony Country Club as our wedding venue!
