Highly Recommended!

I had my wedding at the Country Club at Wakefield Plantation one month ago. Of all of the decisions I made during wedding planning, choosing to have our reception here with Courtney Tatum was hands down the best decision I ever made!! Courtney was absolutely incredible to work with. She was accommodating, quick to respond to all of my questions, and went above and beyond my expectations. She handled things behind the scenes for me, she was present and working all of the events we held at the Club, and she was so easy to work with. She worked with my vendors to make my vision come to life, and reduced my stress of trying to make sure everything was organized properly. Her entire team, the Chef, the servers and everyone else working my event was nothing short of amazing. I truly can’t recommend them enough!!

A Day to Remember

We recently held out daughter's wedding reception at the Country Club at Wakefield Plantation and it was a truly wonderful experience. Courtney was terrific and helped us through all of the details and planning as well as managing the timeline on the day of the event. She recommended an excellent DJ (Royal Lewis) and made other excellent sugestions without any pressure. She worked hard to make sure the event exemplified my daughter's vision and was kept within budget. The food was delicious and portions were generous. The room was beautifully arranged. The staff could not have been more helpful. Our guests continue to compliment the event. It was truly a beautiful day.

Without a doubt, the best wedding experience!

My husband and I got married here this past December and it truly was the most magical day! I had the best experience with Courtney as our wedding coordinator and she truly made our wedding day. From the planning before, responding to any questions or concerns I had, to the day of the wedding, making sure the day ran so smoothly, Courtney went above and beyond to make our experience the absolute best. The week before the wedding Courtney made herself available to meet all our requests and thought about more details than I could have even begin to think about. I trusted Courtney to make the venue so beautiful and she really exceeded my expectations. The venue itself was the most beautiful location. The food was outstanding, and the room itself was a perfect background for a wedding. I would recommend this venue to anyone every time! And cannot thank Wakefield country club, and Courtney, enough!!

Amazing!

We changed venues in the middle of our planning process due to COVID and Wakefield could not have made it easier. Courtney is literally magical and helped to make our day so awesome. It was pouring down rain and we were able to move inside with no problem! We are still getting messages from guests talking about how awesome the food and service was. We can’t thank them enough for their attention to detail and amazing experience.

Amazing Experience!

We had a fabulous experience holding our wedding at The Country Club at Wakefield Plantation. We especially appreciated Courtney Tatum, the director of catering and events, who is phenomenal to work with! She helped us plan our wedding in less than six weeks, and every detail was flawless! She found for us and coordinated a great florist, 2 amazing musical groups (a string duet and flamenco band), and even recommended a great photography. She was so sweet, responsive and helpful, and she knows her stuff! We were so grateful for her experience, and felt like she truly cared about our happiness and satisfaction with all of the details of the day. The Country Club at Wakefield Plantation is very lucky to have her on staff, and I look forward to planning future events with her!

Amazing venue and staff !!!

I cannot recommend Courtney enough for helping us plan our reception on such a short notice! My husband and I had to make last minute changes due to COVID, which was very stressful. However, Courtney took all of our stress away after the first meeting by answering all of our questions and helping us plan every detail! She went out of her way to make our reception a special celebration, and we are so thankful for her excellent and professional guidance during the planning process.
