Amanda is absolutely the BEST coordinator out there! Never once did I feel alone throughout this process. She always made sure that I was good, even the day of when I was having second thoughts on my hair, she told me to go in to the venue earlier and she would fix it for me! They really executed my vision for my decor and better, they went above and beyond. Karen the banquet captain made sure everything continued to run smoothly throughout the entire night. Everything went as perfectly as possible.
Amanda really makes you feel like family!
Honestly, there is no other venue better than Glen Ivy! ✨

Glen Ivy Golf Club was the perfect wedding venue for us! They had two options for ceremony location, an indoor reception hall, & many options for photo opps. This is what sold us the most! One thing that we loved about this venue, is the flexibility to bring in your own decor (& some food as long as it’s not homemade). This made it easier for us to have DIY decor & bring in our own late night snack for our guests.

Another thing that our guests are still talking about & that we enjoyed is the food! The appetizers were soo good. We had the bruschetta, meatballs, Mac & cheese bites, & crab cakes. Everyone was raving about the Mac & cheese bites & the crab cakes! For our entrees, we had the stuffed chicken & the tri-tip with chimichurri- no complaints! And we also had assorted desserts with them: cheesecakes, cupcakes, brownies, cookies, & churros. I guess you can say the churros, brownies & cookies were a big hit because they flew off the trays like crazy. I didn’t get to try the churros or brownies but I did try everything else and they were good!

We booked with Glen Ivy about 18 months before our wedding date. When we booked, we booked with the event director, Alyssa. It was a seamless process, we communicated back & forth with our contract before signing. Once we started getting into the wedding planning about 4-6 months before our wedding, we worked with the coordinator, Amanda. During this process, we did get a little nervous because some things that were promised to us when signing with Alyssa were different once we started working with Amanda. Additionally, there were times where some things were miscommunicated, which became frustrating. Luckily for us, we also had a coordinator who was helping facilitate the planning between what we were working on and with Amanda. Biggest tip: if you don’t hear from them, you should definitely reach out. When we were able to communicate with Amanda, it was mostly by phone or text. She was attentive for the most part, but as a bride, if there is something you want, you’ll have to make it clear. Just for peace of mind, we made sure to have everything in writing just in case there was any confusion in the future (this ended up not being an issue at all.).

During the last two weeks leading up to our wedding and on our wedding day, Amanda & the venue team (Karent, banquet captain) was great to work with. Side note: when signing a contract with any venue, it would be better to sign for less guests than you are expecting. This was an issue for us because we had more guests declined than expected & we went back & forth with Amanda many times on how we can allocate our money. But nonetheless, Amanda made sure that we were using every dollar we paid as part of our contract.

We made sure to provide Amanda with all the information she needed in order for our day to be seamless. The day of the wedding, her, Karen & team worked effortlessly with our coordinator and her team. My wife & I did not have to lift any fingers and they were always available to bring us what we needed (drinks, food, appetizers). There were plenty of venue staff around to attend to whatever needed to be attended to. They were all so patient & did everything with a smile. Bartenders were amazing & all the staff were very attentive!

By the end of the night, we wished we had more time to party. The venue team worked with our coordinating team to make sure that all of the decor we brought was packed up.

Alyssa and Amanda were awesome from the start to finish. Offered a great location and created an amazing experience that was hassle free. Amanda made sure all the vendors were on board with the time and space they needed for their setup. Very flexible with changes that occurred. We highly recommend you give them a call and take a look, you won’t be disappointed.
