Tesa was phenomenal with handling our wedding event, period! We had tons of questions and concerns understandably, and she answered them all. The entire staff were very welcoming and made sure that every detail was executed perfectly. We loved the venue inside and out, we loved the food, the experience, price, everything was amazing. Thank you Panama Country Club. You come highly recommended!

This venue is perfect. I wanted something on the water but did not want everyone to walk through sand. The beach was not an option for me. The outdoor ceremony site is right on the water. There is an arch for the bride and groom to stand in front of that looks absolutely beautiful when decorated. The country club does the alcohol and the food so it did get pretty pricey but everyone at the wedding could not stop talking about the food (including myself). It was incredible. There were so many options and we picked two proteins, a few starches, a salad, and apps were cheese and fruit. We had options for the bar and decided to just buy kegs and wine. We started with one keg and paid for another that day. They held our card information and brought us our receipt when they needed to charge us for another keg. We learned closer to the wedding that Tesa Burch could decorate for us, do our rehearsal, AND coordinate for us. She was AMAZING. She had the perfect personality for me to work with and could read me very well. After our ceremony she immediately brought us drinks. She had shots waiting for all of us before our introduction. She replied to all my phone calls, texts, and emails immediately. She kept in contact with me and communicated with me as much as I needed. She alone made our big day run as smoothly as possible. I cannot thank her enough for the amazing job she did. I highly, highly, highly recommend the country club.

The Country Club was a great venue to use for our reception. The food was great, and they allow you to really make the space your own, and utilize an outside planner if you wish, which is difficult to find in a venue. The staff was helpful and attentive to us and our guests!

Panama Country Club and the staff were absolutely amazing. I could not have asked for a more perfect venue. The event coordinator Lacy Danielson (Linen and Lace) took care of every detail. She made sure that I did not have to lift a finger. The bar staff and waiters are very professional and took care of my guests every need. The venue is in a beautiful location overlooking the water on the bay.

The Panama Country Club was the perfect venue for our wedding. With the ceremony under the arbor in front of the beautiful bay and the reception inside the clubhouse with the beautiful view of the sunset, it was a total dream. All food was catered by the country club and it was amazing. They listened to what we wanted and did not disappoint. Their wedding coordinator, Lacey, was easy to get in contact with and answered our every question. We loved the country club as our venue and would recommend to everyone!

My wedding reception was held at the Panama Country Club. I chose to have hors d'oeuvres while the bridal party was having our pictures taken, and a sit down meal once the bridal party arrived. The food was fantastic, the service was outstanding, and the view of the water while everyone was eating and dancing was priceless. Laura (the chef) was more than accommodating when I wanted to meet with her to discuss changes to the guest list or the menu - her advice was helpful and very honest. I am so happy that I chose the Panama Country Club as my reception venue - everything was perfect!

I am so excited that my husband and I decided to get married at the Panama Country Club. The staff was wonderful and so easy to work with. Laurie was by far one of the reasons our day went as well as it did. Se was very quick to respond to any questions and I and even took the time to change last minute things the week of the wedding. The Country Club is a gorgeous place and the food was great as well. We had no issues the day of our wedding and would not go back and change a thing if we could. We had the wedding of our dreams and that is all because of Country Club and its awesome staff!!!!

The Panama Country Club is an outstanding venue. The facility is beautiful, set directly on the bay with gorgeous views. The staff is professional and proficient... they tended to our every need and gave exemplary service. Our wedding went flawlessly thanks to the attention provided by Kaitlyn and the staff! We couldn't have asked for more!

A great wedding venue! We booked late in the season (~3 months notice), and their coordinator Laurie not only helped find a Sunday that worked for us but also gave very useful information on the timing of ceremony/reception/photo shooting.

Pricing was very reasonable - we felt like we were not pressured in any way to upgrade to items or packages we did not need, and whenever we had any questions regarding how pricing worked or where we might be able to save a little our questions were always answered openly and completely. Even when we had last minute items to change (especially in the last few days regarding final guest and food counts), the staff did not even bat an eye.

On the day itself, the grounds were beautiful, with green lawn, gorgeous trees and fantastic water views both from the reception area and the outdoor ceremony locations (there were 2 outside locations to choose from for the ceremony). We particularly enjoyed the well equipped bridal room and groom room, great for bridal preparation photos and for groomsmen to relax and hangout (though ours were too busy to relax due to the morning ceremony arrangement). With this great setting, our wedding photos turned out very well - some people even wondered if some of the photos were using poster backgrounds :)!

We did not have much time to enjoy the food ourselves, but heard very good feedback from guests about the food! We did encounter some delayed responses occasionally, possibly due to the intensity of events, but it was not a big deal overall.

In short, we would recommend this venue to anyone getting married, either local to the Panama City area, or planning a wedding from afar (as we did from Washington DC)!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
