Bridal Shower

Ashley was the best event coordinator! She was able to accommodate a smaller group with a good size room. She allowed us to set up the tables any way we wanted. We brought some of our own decor which made it special to us. The luncheon was fantastic with plenty of food and a super cute mimosa bar! I would highly recommend The Meadows for any event.

Wedding at the Meadows

Ashley from the Meadows Country Club is the best coordinator we could have asked for. We had our rehearsal dinner and wedding at the club, and everything was just perfect. Food, drinks and location are great. Ashley is always prompt to respond any emails or text messages you send to her. I asked her 100 questions and she was able to answer all of them.
We are beyond thankful with Ashley and all the Meadows Country Club team. You all are awesome. Thank you for making our wedding day an unforgettable perfect day

We had our reception at the Meadows Country Club. Laura was a pleasure to work with while planning all the details. The staff was attentive making sure that we had what we needed. Everyone had a wonderful time and I am glad we were able to have a DJ and dancing.

This was a wonderful wedding venue all around. The wedding coordinator was extremely helpful throughout the whole process including the rehearsal and the wedding itself. I would not hesitate to recommend this venue ....you will not be disappointed . It was very affordable as well as a perfect location. The ceremony was held on the green and turned out to be a beautiful backdrop . All and all the Meadows exceeded our expectations .

The Meadows exceeded our expectations on every level, the staff was very professional and did everything possible to make the wedding reception perfect. Ashley, our wedding coordinator, was very friendly, caring, and went out of her way to make everybody very happy. Thank you very much Ashley for everything that you have done for us.
I would recommend every couple to consider the Meadows for their wedding. The surroundings are also very beautiful.

The Meadows is Gorgeous and the Staff is Exceptional! They do alot for the price you pay! they decorate, tear down and make sure the bride and groom eat dinner by giving you your own personal waiter and waitress to plate your food and bring it to your table! Trish the banquet Manager busts her tail for every wedding thrown there and it shows!

Great place for the price, but, better yet, Laura is very good at what she does and makes the wedding experience operate smoothly and orderly, which makes for a very enjoyable experience for the wedding party AND the guests! Excellent experience and VERY happy with Laura as well as the Meadows Country Club!

We signed with The Meadows about 10 months before the wedding and during that time the Event Coordinator changed 3 times, but Karen Lawson, who is the Coordinator now, is fabulous!!!!! I am actually quite happy that she did take over. She was incredible to work with and very easy going. The food was fantastic and I was warned by friends that the bride and groom are too busy to eat, but we were actually assigned escorts to take us to get our food and made sure we ate! The grounds were gorgeous as well, very green and tropical looking. I had DIY centerpieces and table decorations and they set it up for me; I didn't have to send anyone ahead of time to do it. I couldn't has asked for a better experience and it was incredibly affordable!!!!
