The Perfect Day!

We had our wedding reception here and truly it was the perfect venue!! Debbie helped us so much with our planning and Sadie made sure the day ran smoothly! The entire staff is wonderful and made us feel so special day of. The venue itself is beautiful - everyone loved looking out at the bay at sunset! There is a lot of décor they already have you can borrow which saved us a ton of money! Food was delicious, we got so many compliments from our guests. There are many amazing photo spots around the venue/on the golf course. A lot is included in the price per plate which made us feel like this was an excellent value while still giving a luxury experience. I couldn't recommend IMG Golf Club enough for your special day!

Amazing experience overall

My partner and I got married at the IMG Golf Club on 03/23/2024. Overall, our experience was great, and our wedding was beautiful. This is strongly because of Debbie and Sadie. Their work and dedication to our event was shown throughout the whole process and I am deeply grateful to them. Though there were a few miscommunication areas, they were quick to respond and correct any issue. The wedding day can obviously be stressful and chaotic, but having a team like Debbie and Sadie by your side makes all the difference. They were able to help settle any situation the day brought. They truly care about their clients.
The only negative thing that I would say about that day, are the golfers. I was not aware that there would be golfers on the course during the ceremony. Specifically, I was surprised of how close they were to us. We were told that the golfers would stay away from the area we were in, but that did not happen. During the ceremony, we could hear them being loud. One of them even drove by and stopped right in front of the ceremony where my entrance was. They were being quite obnoxious, but I really feel that IMG should have closed off that area during the ceremony. I feel strongly about this because, more importantly, during our solo shots on the course, our videographer was almost hit by a golf ball coming fast in our direction. The golfer tried to laugh it off, but it was a serious situation where someone could have gotten hurt. My partner and I did not feel safe taking pictures on the course, which was unfortunate because based on the photos that IMG has on their website, it seems that they advertise the location for beautiful photo opportunities, but do not mention the risk of golfers. If they are allowing ceremonies to be performed on the course, they should make sure that the couple and all attending guests are safe to be there. I definitely would not want a future bride or groom, or anyone, to get hurt. I brought this up to Debbie the next day, and she was very upset by this and said she would be bringing it to the attention of the board. If you are considering doing a wedding here, I would recommend asking about the golfers if you are having an outside ceremony.
I did not let this affect my rating because of how amazing Debbie and Sadie were to us, and that incident was out of their control.

Awesome experience, great all around

For starters, Claire and Reagen (the event managers) were incredible. Very kind, flexible, and professional. They were prompt, always willing to answer questions, and at times even lend a hand in the planning process. The building itself was great. Great view, good food, and a very reasonable price to top it all off. We were very pleased with our experience at IMG and we strongly recommend choosing them for your wedding venue.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
