Dream Wedding!

Charlsie and the whole team at The Classic Club were amazing! The venue, the food, the service was all way beyond my expectations! Any questions I had they answered immediately and I never felt like a bother. I will forever be grateful!

Excellent service and professionalism

Although we weren’t able to end up getting married at Classic Club due to COVID, Charlsie was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process. She was SO responsiveness, empathetic and flexible. She was willing to help us in any way possible to make our wedding work. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, we are no longer getting married at the venue but if we ever have any opportunity to have an event in the future, we will absolutely work with Classic Club! Thanks for everything!

Excellent experience and professional!

Excellent service! Very organized and an event saver! Our pastor didn’t show and Charlsie stepped in and found an ordained minister on staff for us!

Wedding of Our Dreams

First of all let me say our wedding was absolutely perfect! While the staff was pretty amazing we did have a few concerns about Charlsie telling us she was just super busy and seemingly unprepared and cranky to be at our wedding. On to the positives Sean and Linda were a dream team!! Linda was attentive to any needs in we had in the morning including help unpack the dress and check for any mishaps. Sean was literally amazing she made sure our day was perfect. The venue is absolutely stunning and everything we needed was there. The food was so delicious I still have guests raving about it a week later!! This is a dream venue!

I loved our Classic Club Wedding!!

My husband I had our ceremony and reception at the Classic Club in March 2018. It was one of the the best decisions we made for our wedding. Charlsie is amazing, flexible, communicative, and super helpful during event planning. Her and her team were on top of everything the day prior and definitely on the day of. Also, the food here is so good and we got a lot of compliments on that. We had everything outdoors and the view was the icing on the cake for great customer service. So many great photo ops. Our wedding was so much fun and definitely memorable thanks to Charlsie and her amazing team. I highly recommend!!

Wedding/Reception Venue

Bellatrix Restaurant at Classic Club was the perfect venue for our wedding celebration. From our very first encounter with Charlsie and her staff, we were treated with respect, courtesy and attention to our every need/request. The grounds and surrounding mountains were stunning for the ceremony, while the Phoenix Room offered the perfect location for our reception luncheon. We highly recommend them for your wedding venue....they don't disappoint!

The pictures of this gorgeous country club, speak for themselves. It is truly the top place in the desert valley to have a wedding. The pictures do not describe the awesome staff, that went far beyond expectations to delivery the perfect wedding. They took care for the setup, cleanup, provided speakers and a microphone for the actual ceremony. They escorted us in golf carts around heir spectacular property to take photos with our wedding party. The food was delicious, the best food we have ever eaten at a wedding. All of our guests were impressed and blown away at the wedding the Classic Club put together!

Ruan and his team did a great job making our wedding day very special. We made many changes on the fly and he was extremely accommodating. The only reason they got 5 stars for flexibility is that is the highest it goes. The team at the Classic Club were outstanding.

We had a great experience at the Classic Club. The venue is beautiful and we loved both the ceremony and reception sites.

The site manager, Christine, was wonderful and did an amazing job at making sure both the ceremony and reception were perfect for the day. I was really impressed with the time and effort she put into the early planning stages. She was great in providing details on the site and associated costs and was really great in responding to my (many) emails in a very thorough manner. In addition, she has a great staff that went above and beyond in making sure the day was special.

We held a morning ceremony and brunch reception at the site and were really impressed with the overall set-up. We were able to have a pancake/waffle buffet and omelet station and guests talked about the great variety of food. One of my favorite parts was the great selection (and presentation) of mocktails at the bar.

Overall, great experience and I highly recommend the site for anyone considering wedding sites.
