Everything was perfect! The venue is beautiful, the food was exceptional and the staff left nothing to be desired. Amy made sure no detail was left unattended and was so accommodating and attentive! The bridal suite was spacious and the staff made sure we had everything we needed to make the time before our ceremony carefree and enjoyable. Anything I asked for was granted happily without question or hesitation. I worked at a resort hotel executing many weddings and my personal experience at the Lakewood Ranch Golf and Country Club exceeded the level of expertise I expected. Amy Anthofer is phenomenal at her job as Catering Sales Manager.

I cannot say enough great things about working with Hayley. I secured this venue about a year before my wedding, and I am so glad I did. It was pretty much a no-brainer because the prices were reasonable, they offered catering, and I loved that they had a terrace on the second floor and a large ballroom. We loved the smooth transition from our ceremony on the lawn, up the stairs to cocktail hour on the terrace, through the doors to the ballroom for the reception, and down through the main stairs to the sparkler exit outdoors. The grounds and the clubhouse are beautiful. I especially loved the cool shots we got from the Ivy Tunnel (I think that's what it's called?). The bridal suite is also HUGE and I love that you get a large private room that you can keep your things in when the wedding starts. I also appreciated that they provide a steamer and clothing rack. You also order your food for the morning/afternoon of (breakfast/lunch for bridal suite, lunch for groomsmen suite); we loved the food and the presentation of it. The groomsmen get a room on the ground floor which is called the "Card Room" and that's connected to an outdoor terrace which is great for pictures.
But anyways, enough about the venue... Hayley is a Catering Sales Manager at LWRGCC and she is THE BEST!!! Like oh my goodness, my day would not have been as amazing as it was without her. She has such an attention to detail and is so organized. We worked so well together. She and Maxine seriously saved the day at my wedding, because unfortunately, one of my vendors provided chairs that had visible ugly velcro straps on them. So they took care of this behind the scenes, and Maxine drove to go get chair pads from this vendor that covered the velcro straps. I am beyond appreciative, because they really went above and beyond their duty. In general, Hayley did so much more than a venue coordinator should do, such as helping to move my ceremony flowers to reception. I adore the team at this venue and I couldn't be happier.

Could not be more happy with this venue as our choice! The venue is breathtaking, staff so helpful and accommodating and the food delicious. Hayley and her team made our dream wedding a reality! Constantly going above and beyond to ensure we were happy with every detail. So thankful we picked this location for our special day.
