Casalinova Wedding

Lakewood Ranch Golf & Country Club was truly the dream wedding venue! From the food, to the drinks, to the beauty of the venue, we had absolutely zero complaints. Our guests loved their meals, and many said it was the best wedding venue they had ever been to.

None of this would have been possible without Amy. She is truly what made LWRGCC the perfect place to get married. Throughout the planning process and all the way up to our big day, she kept us calm, considered every detail, remained attentive despite her many other responsibilities, and was always kind and personable. We are so grateful to have worked with her.

By the wedding day, even our parents knew to “just leave it to Amy.” We never had a single doubt that she could handle everything, and she absolutely did. The entire day was seamless. I don’t know how many people can say that not a single thing went wrong on their wedding day, but we wholeheartedly can.

our wedding was a dream!

We had such a wonderful experience at our wedding venue! The entire staff was so kind, helpful, and easy to work with throughout the planning process and on the wedding day itself. The venue was absolutely beautiful and created the perfect atmosphere for our wedding. One of the best parts was how convenient everything was with the food and so many details handled on site, which made the whole process so much less stressful.

A special thank you to our coordinator, Amy, who was amazing throughout everything. She was organized, responsive, and made sure every detail came together seamlessly. We’re so grateful for everything the team did to make our day so special!

Amazing Venue and Staff!

Amy did an incredible job making all of our dreams come true for our wedding day, and we are so truly grateful for her!

Amy’s communication was great from the beginning. She was timely in responding and always answered every question, no matter how insignificant it might have seemed to someone from the outside. She always made time to speak with my mother and I when needed.

Amy genuinely cared about helping my now husband and I to design the day exactly how we wanted to from a venue perspective. She made the effort to really dig into the details and helped us make everything a reality, down to the custom garnishes we sourced for our signature cocktails. It felt so relieving to know that we had someone who cared and wanted to ensure our day was exactly what we wanted. Our wedding would not have been as special without her and all of the small touches made possible because of her thoughtful questions and attention to detail.

Amy went above and beyond the day of the wedding to make sure everything was running smoothly. I had absolutely no stress during my wedding because I knew everything was taken care of based on our previous conversations, and Amy’s role the day of. She even fluffed my dress for me the as I was walking down the aisle!

I highly recommend working with Amy and LWRGCC. Gorgeous venue, incredible food, reasonable prices and great service. What more could you ask for!

Perfectly Executed Dream Wedding at Lakewood Ranch Country Club 💍

We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience with our wedding coordinator at Lakewood Ranch Country Club. From start to finish, everything was handled with such professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care—it made the entire process feel seamless and stress-free.
The day itself came together absolutely perfectly. Every detail was executed just as we envisioned (and even better), and you could feel how smoothly everything flowed. Our guests are still talking about how amazing the food was, how beautiful the atmosphere felt, and how much they genuinely enjoyed the entire experience.
It meant so much to us to be able to fully enjoy our wedding day without worrying about anything—and that’s a direct reflection of the incredible work behind the scenes. We’re beyond grateful and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to create a truly unforgettable event!

Amazing Day!

I would like to personally thank Amy for all her hard work and patience in working with me to facilitate the perfect wedding day for our daughter and her fiancé. We had been on the planning journey about 15 months and I sincerely appreciate Amy's patience, assistance, expertise and professionalism throughout that journey.

Everyone had a wonderful time and loved everything! The staff was amazing and kind, the food delicious and bar was flowing! The grounds and surroundings were perfect for the wedding pictures.

My daughters wedding 10/17/2025

I can’t say enough how amazing this venue is, we had the ceramony overlooking the lake with an amazing fountain, cocktail hour on the balcony which was so spacious and the grand ballroom for the reception, the decor throughout made for such an elegant wedding, incredibly the venue comes with a wedding coordinator and we had the best help with Hayley, she was interested in every detail and help tremendously along the way , she responded quickly to emails and calls and we had several meet ups, she troubleshooted if something arose which really not much did because she was on top of everything, she checked on vendors and went over every detail ahead of time, our experience with the venue and Hayley was a #10

Highly recommend!!

We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate our big day than LWRGCC! From the moment we toured the venue, we knew it was going to be the perfect place. It is truly such a beautiful venue with beautiful views (especially during sunset)! There were so many great spots for photo opportunities. On top of it being stunning, it is in the perfect location (close to airports and many hotels), which made it convenient for our many out-of-state guests. The food was delicious and the staff were all so incredible! Hayley and Maxine were so welcoming and attentive. Hayley was easy to communicate with and provided so many amazing suggestions that helped make the day even more special. Nothing was overlooked! So glad we chose LWRGCC- everything was perfect!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
