5/62023 wedding

Just had my son's wedding here yesterday. The ceremony site was beyond beautiful. The biggest thing I can say is that Karman and her staff were amazing, Very professional, organized, easy to work with. We could not have pulled it off without them.

The Best Staff for the Best Day

My wife and I got married here yesterday. Karman and Kim and the other staff at the Gauntlet were a dream. I could not imagine better people to help us out on our wedding day. Even when things didn't go to plan, they were so good at easing our nerves and making us feel better. I could not recommend the Gauntlet more, and no words can describe just how amazing the crew is. Whatever credit Karman gets, it's still not enough. We will always look back on our day with the utmost amount of fondness and a lot of that is because of the care we received. If I could leave more than 5 stars, I absolutely would.

My wife and I just had our wedding reception at the Gauntlet Golf Club and it turned out great! Kayla, Jessica & and her staff did an excellent job during the planning process and the during our reception! Food and drinks were great and our family and friends had a very fun time. Thanks again to the Gauntlet staff for making our wedding day special! Would recommend this venue for weddings or any other events.

We had our wedding here on April 8th, and it was amazing!!! I want to say a big thank you to Kayla because she went above and beyond for us. She made everything so easy from the very beginning, and I never had to worry about anything for the venue. The food was great, the staff was great, and I never felt like an inconvenience. I cannot thank Kayla and the staff enough for everything that they did to make our day so special.

Our first date was by the water & we were engaged in Hawaii, so we wanted to get married by the water as well. We wanted a small, sweet & simple ceremony with our very closest family & friends & were shocked at the prices of other vendors just to have the ceremony. So, we were especially happy to have met Mike Byrd from the Gauntlet. He offered a wedding on a tee by the water & golf carts & attendants to get our guests to the site. The night was gorgeous & so peaceful geese flew by & deer came near! We decorated the wedding site, two tables going into the reception & the tables inside. We paid for table linens, chair covers & bows, wine, beer, dinner for 60 people & it cost about the same as the lowest price of any other vendor just to have the ceremony! Dinner was absolutely delicious. The staff was not only professional & friendly, but genuinely happy for us & celebrated with us at our 4 hour long reception. Thanks, in part, to old & new friends at the Gauntlet, our wedding was one of the happiest days of our lives!

First of all, I want to thank the Gauntlet Golf Club, especially the most amazing Manager Byrd and his team. Mr. Byrd helped us survive the stressful times. He made sure that our event was special. He went extra miles just to make sure we had what we needed right from the start. I had an impression that signing the event contract was not just a simple piece of payment arrangement. It was a contract of new friendship and service. Our wedding day was very frustrating. We were supposed to have an outside wedding. We had everything planned and rehearsed. However, the weather did not cooperate on our wedding day. It rained and rained like heck. I was frustrated, stressed, and teary. Luckily, with the Gauntlet Golf Club’s support led by Mr. Byrd we survived with flying colors at the end of the dark tunnel. They had the venue ready in order for us to have the ceremony indoors. Please share my deepest gratitude to Mr. Byrd and the rest of the staff during our event. They were fantastic. They went above and beyond supportive. They helped us make it through and helped us enjoy what could have been a disaster. After all, wedding is just the beginning of a wonderful years of marriage.

The Gauntlet was a perfect choice for our rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and wedding reception. The course made for great photo ops and the reception room worked perfect for our party. The food is to die for and the whole package is a great value. They had all the right answers to the numerous questions that we had and made us feel very confident in their ability to make this a seemless process. Thank you, Gauntlet Golf Club!

The Gauntlet Golf Club was an excellent choice for my wedding ceremony and reception. It was very affordable and the staff was friendly and accommodating. Virginia (Ginne) did a great job and was pleasant to work with. All of my guests commented on how nice the facility was decorated and how good the food was. I would definitely recommend this venue to celebrate any special event.

I was thoroughly pleased with the Gauntlet Golf Club as a venue-- their personnel is friendly, quick to respond, and very accommodating. In addition, the facilities are beautiful and easy to dress up for the ceremony and reception. The food was also delicious-- all of our guests were telling us how yummy the meal was. I was completely satisfied with every aspect of the Gauntlet as a venue-- I would recommend the facilities to anyone looking for a pretty venue for their wedding.

I loved working with the Gauntlet, they had a shoecase event that was fun and helpful. I loved all the linens they provided. The staff was very friendly and Ginny is great to work with. The prices were very affordable and we got so many compliments on how delicious the food was, we were even able to tell the chef that we wanted the food seasoned more than it was at the showcase. The only thing I would suggest for improvement is that the banquet room should be expanded to widen it to allow for more room for tables. If you are looking for a beautiful and affordable place to have your reception I would recommed The Gauntlet!
