Such a beautiful venue! Andrea was so easy to work with. They were flexible with us for setup and happy to accommodate us in anyway that they could.

I absolutely loved my wedding at Tanners Brook. I had my ceremony and reception at this venue, the ceremony was outside near the golf course and the scenery was so beautiful. Andrea is great to work with, she is very accommodating, and she responds to emails very quickly. We were able to get a deal on the lighting/decorations by splitting in half with the next wedding the following weekend. I would recommend getting the lighting and decoration. We also had our rehearsal dinner at Tanners Brook. We just had Tanners Brook make a couple pizzas and a few appetizers. I highly recommend Tanners Brook for your wedding.

Tanner's Brook Golf Club was the perfect place to celebrate our day! The area is so picture perfect and the hall itself it's perfect, there's a fire place, a dance floor and a bar. Everyone had so much fun! Not to mention there's an old barn sitting outside the club that is perfect for pictures. We took a lot of our pictures around the golf club. I would definately recommend this place for your reception.

Very flexible for decorating, even was able to do some decorating Thursday (wedding Saturday) nice space for reception. Wish the coordinator would have been there the morning/day of the wedding instead of having others set-up, they didnt know what they were doing and I had to answer a bunch of questions that we already went over. Prices were very reasonable for the venue, $500 for draping seemed a bit much but made it look more like a wedding with it.

Had my wedding at Tanners Brook and my husband and I agree it was a great place! We had the ceremony there and the reception and Andrea (the event coordinator) was very flexible with certain things we wanted to have on our special day and allowed us to have a tent for the ceremony and stuff outside- we were thankful she worked so well with us. Andrea let us see the place a couple times to do some planning with my "team" of decorators and she was quick to respond if we had questions or concerns. The golf course is still open during the wedding so at times while we were taking pictures we had to wait for golfers (they had a tournament that weekend) and some of the golfers were very rude- but I know some of the workers at Tanners Brook were very apologetic- but business is a business and they are not shutting down for a wedding. They did however close down the route for the carts to travel that is near the ceremony area so there were no distractions or unexpected things. Overall great place- Nice space for the reception and we loved it!

Horrible Wedding

To start this off I would like to say that at first Andrea the venue coordinator was great until the day before my wedding. When we signed the contract I discussed with Andrea about doing the rehersal dinner in the bar/resturaunt side the Friday before the wedding, which she was okay with.
Fast forward to Friday the day before the wedding. Andrea's waitress that was there when we arrived was very rude and unprofessional. We walked in and she looks me dead in the face and said we can not accommodate your party because we do not have the staff for you guys to be here. Then we were walking around the venue area that was set up for us and my kids (5YO and 9YO) are acting like kids having fun and running around. The one that was rude to us then proceeds to tell my kids to go run around outside and to go play in the road as she goes to open the door for them. I was pissed and Andrea's response was "Oh, i'll have a chat with her" thats all that was said.

Move on to Saturday the day of my wedding. The room they had for us to get ready she said would be organized and have enough space for us... It was a mess.... Then her staff/son kept walking into the room we were in with no warning at all. Thankfully we were all dressed when this happen. Then I asked to put a sign on the door to prevent that and it seemed like it was something they could not do(but eventually they did put a sign on the door) The contract stated 2 bartenders and security. Security was apparently there but we were not made aware of who security was so we would not have known who to talk to in the event that we needed them to help with something. The Ceremony was great. Then the party got started. The bar was supposed to have 2 bartenders available for us but we had to leave the venue side on multiple occasions to go to the other bar to get drinks because the bartenders were not in the venue side when drinks were needed.
As they were clearing plates off the tables they proceeded to throw away cards that were given to the bridal party with items inside of them.

When I asked her about that Andrea says "Well my staff has been with me doing weddings for many years so I am going to take their word over yours if they say they did not throw anything away then I am going to believe them"

This was the absolute worst experience I could have imagined being a bride.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
