Awesome Venue!

We used San Juan Hills Golf Club for our wedding venue. Stacey did such a fantastic job in managing the event from start to finish. Expectations and costs are very clear and laid out from the beginning. The service during the wedding and buffet food served was excellent and the ceremony site on the 1st tee is beautiful. Would recommend anyone to host an event here!

Highly Recommend!

My spouse and I were married at the SJH Golf Club this past summer, and we would strongly recommend this vendor. The Director Stacey is professional, prompt, easy to work with and kind. The packages are generous, straightforward and all the food and drink received utterly rave reviews. The staff were a class above. The grounds are gorgeous, and we lucked out that golf-wise we could take some photos in different parts of the property. 5/5 would recommend!

Hire this venue now!

We planned a wedding in 4 months at this venue! It is a beautiful golf course and the locations they offer have the best views.

Stacey was so easy to communicate with and she has an amazing list of venders. The venue does all the tables, chairs, dinnerware, food and drinks which makes planning so much easier. They have a lot of options to choose from and to be honest you can't go wrong with anything. Everybody enjoyed the food and everybody had happy tummies.

Stacey was also open to special requests and we felt comfortable having our planner ask her about them.

Best of all, they were very open about each and every cost. I'm sure everybody dreads the post wedding surprise bill, but we were not surprised at all. They were very fair and open about their charges which I was very grateful for.

Amazing venue, SO happy with the outcome

From the beginning we were working with Stacey, the venue coordinator for SJHGC. She walked us through all options, dates available, etc. We were both very happy with the accommodations available, ESPECIALLY the parking and bathroom situations. That was very big for both of us. There is plenty of parking, and guest's cars will not get towed if left overnight. There were a few tasting events, but the food was EVEN BETTER on the day of our event. We got rave reviews for days on the food, the place looked great. I was so happy we had our event here.

Beautiful venue!

SJHGC was an absolute amazing venue. Stacy was extremely accommodating and was willing to meet with us as often as we requested. We planed most of this from Alaska which was super hard not being able to have in person meetings but Stacy made this whole experience very positive. Her energy makes you feel at ease and she reassured you that everything will fall together and it will be amazing! We were able to make and bring our own arch to the venue. Hint: if you are looking for a hexagon arch SJHGC now has one on the premises!

The service our guests received was OUTSTANDING! Everyone that worked our event was extremely nice, helpful, and accommodating. We are still hearing how great the staff was weeks after our event!

Stacy and everyone at SJHGC were a dream to work with!

SJHGC is the best!

We couldn't be happier with our choice to get married at SJHGC. We chose this venue for its affordability, flexible menu options, and beautiful location. We had our ceremony on the Greenside Patio & the reception in the Greenview Room. We loved the sunset view during our ceremony & the rustic vibe of the reception room. We chose to have the Mexican buffet and it was a huge hit! Our guests are still talking about it - saying it's the best wedding food they've had! Our guests also loved the s'mores bar by the fire pit.

Stacey was a joy to work with! She responded quickly to our emails and made sure everything was organized to run smoothly the day of. The staff at SJHGC were attentive, polite, and welcoming to all our guests.

My husband and I had our wedding here at San Juan Hills Golf Club this February and everything was simply amazing! The staff is so helpful and kind! Stacey is quick to respond to emails and a great coordinator! The room was spacious and beautiful with large open windows and a patio for our guests to mingle. The food was absolutely delicious! Thank you so much San Juan Hills for making our day run so smoothly.

We are so happy we chose to have our wedding at San Juan Hills Golf Club. San Juan Hills had so many options for brides and grooms to choose from in planning their wedding, that we really felt like we were able to make it our own. The event was set-up beautifully, the food was great, and the staff was helpful in making sure everything went smoothly. Stacey was very reliable and knowledgeable in the wedding planning process and helped us every step of the way. Would highly recommend this venue to other couples!

We not only had our wedding (both ceremony and reception), but also our rehearsal dinner here. Stacey and her team did such an amazing job. Everything went smoothly and we were well taken care of. The food was also delicious, the bar staff interacted and had fun with our guests, and they all provided great service. The venue was beautiful as well, I can't wait to see how all of the pictures turned out. Overall, we would highly recommend this for your wedding venue for a great value too!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
