dream venue

Jaimie, the event coordinator, is phenomenal to work with. She is very organized, sends response emails within minutes, she truly goes above and beyond. Normamside is such a beautiful country club. It really was perfect. Every detail was tended to and our day went off without a hitch! We had a taco bar, a meat carving station and a pasta station and everyone loved the food! Very reasonably priced.

One of the most beautiful venues I've ever worked at!

As a wedding DJ, I see a lot of venues! Normanside Country Club has always stood out as one of our teams absolute favorites! From the friendly and helpful staff to the beautiful interior and easy load in, we love everything about this place.

From a dj perceptive, the room is easy to provide sound for. Several convenient outlet locations and the well thought out floor plan made our setup a breeze.

The venue managers were extremely helpful and easy to work with which is HUGE from our perspective. Primarily because we need to bring the party and great energy all night long and that's simply tough to do when the venue staff or other vendors are bringing down the mood with negativity. I am thankful that is NEVER the case here.

All the weddings I've DJ'd here have been phenomenal, with packed dance floors. I attribute much of this success to the seamless coordination leading up to the dance time, which is greatly influenced by the efficiency of the venue staff.

I look forward to working with more awesome couples here in the future!

Normanside is Simply the Best

My daughter got married at Normanside on Oct 28, 2023. As her father, I had to wait for twenty-one months since my son-in-law proposed to her. But the wait was simply worthy because they chose Normanside for ceremony and reception. My experience over there was a 10.5 out of a scale of 1 to 10. Jaimie was a fantastic person to work with. Her work went beyond to meet the needs of my daughter and her husband. The other staff were excellent, the food was outstanding and the service was absolutely great. If you look for a wedding reception, do not need to look any further. Just come to Normanside. You will not regret, but value your choice as a lifelong memory.

Normanside is the best!

Anyone looking for a beautiful, inclusive, yet affordable wedding venue - look no further! We couldn’t be happier we trusted Normanside for our wedding. We knew from the start we were in good hands, as all our vendors had nothing but positive things to say about their own experiences at the venue. Jaimie was outstanding in answering all my questions along the way and made the day of seamless. Jaimie and her team were always responsive and thoughtful, and executed everything better than we could have imagined and let us include so many personal touches.
Not only that, but all our guests have been telling us it’s the best wedding food they ever had. We also got ready in the bridal suite which made the morning of easy for me and my bridesmaids. Thank you Normanside, but especially Jaimie, for making our wedding day so beautiful and effortless!

Amazing! Perfect! Would highly recommend!

We chose Normanside for our Fall wedding venue. It was beautiful! Jaimie was wonderful to work with all along the way. She was so helpful and responsive. On the day of the wedding, the set up was beautiful, and perfect. The place looked amazing down to every single detail. The day went so smoothly, which we thank Jaimie for.
We loved the bride and groom suites in the morning and getting to enjoy the venue before the party started. The food was amazing, and we got so many compliments it. The space was large and pretty. We loved how there was a patio outside the ballroom to cool off when dancing or enjoy the beautiful creek view. Everything far exceeded our expectations, and I can’t imagine a more perfect venue. It was an absolute pleasure working with all of the staff at Normanside.

Everything I dreamed of and more!

I don't even know where to start. To say that we are so incredibly thankful for this place is an understatement. When COVID started and we had to reschedule our wedding day, they were so accommodating. Then when we needed to move it again, they moved it like it was nothing. David did everything he could to make it an easy transition. From meeting with us and answering hundreds of questions to honoring pricing and everything from our original date, they made the planning so easy and organized. When Jaimie came on, she was very helpful towards the end of the planning process. And then we got towards the actual day. The beginning of the summer, we weren’t sure if we would be able to do it, but they held on strong and kept us informed along the way. The morning was perfect, they had someone open the building for us, set up the coffee and mimosas as requested, delivered lunch as planned, and even drove with our photographers to find a good first look spot! Everything went so smoothly and perfectly. The food was absolutely amazing! We had a personal server for the day and she was great! Always remembered what drink we wanted and checked in with us throughout the evening to make sure everything was going smoothly.
I honestly could go on forever about how awesome this place is. The staff is always so nice. I would highly recommend having any event here, but especially a wedding! My wedding day was perfect!
