Best Day!!

From the moment we toured Turf Valley we knew this would be the perfect venue for our wedding! We first met Carol S. who was so sweet, so informative, and so responsive to our emails & questions we had. This venue is incredibly transparent in cost and what is included- they made the entire planning process so easy and organized. We next met Mia B. who worked along side Carol to keep us updated on our room block, schedule meetings, keep us on track with when planning items were due, and guided us toward the amazing wedding we had! I can't stress enough how kind and accommodating they were. Our day of staff were equally as incredible- Adam was our Maître D day of and he was absolutely wonderful. Our bartenders and servers were also so lovely. The food was absolutely incredible and everyone has been raving to us on how much they enjoyed all of the food. The kitchen staff also handled several allergies & dietary restrictions so easily. The accommodations were also flawless- Turf Valley underwent renovations and our hospitality suite & 2 bedroom suite were so wonderful and great to take getting ready photos in! We had many, many family members & friends stay on site for the weekend and everyone just absolutely loved their rooms. Overall the staff were incredible in every department we encountered- from Carol & Mia in catering + events, Chris in beverage sales, front desk staff, our room service staff, Alexandra's restaurant staff, and the Fairway Lounge staff. I cannot get over the amazing wedding day & weekend they all helped give us. If you want a seamless & fun wedding day at a fantastic location with amazing food and accommodations- seriously look no further.

Spectacular!

We could not have picked a better venue for our wedding! Turf Valley has it all - great ballrooms, delicious food, indoor/outdoor service locations, hotel accommodations for out-of-town guests, and an absolute spectacular staff! Wendy & Mia were extremely easy to work with and provided everything we needed to ensure how day went off without any glitches.

My guests are still raving about the food, how easy the "flow of the day" went, and how all of the support staff were very friendly and accommodating; go cannot go wrong by choosing Turf Valley for your wedding or any other event!

Best Wedding Venue!

Turf Valley Resort is the best wedding venue! Choosing Turf Valley was one of the best decisions my husband and I made during the wedding planning process. As soon as we reached out to inquire about availability, Mia and Carol were incredible at helping us bring our reception to light. From timely and helpful communication, to bringing our reception decor and set up to life, they helped us make the wedding planning process seamless and better. They have fantastic customer service and always ensure that all of your needs are taken care of for your events. I would highly recommend anyone looking to host an event or wedding to reach out to Turf Valley Resort.

Beautiful Venue

We had a great experience with Turf Valley! We worked with Wendy, Mia, and Adam. Wendy and Mia showed great responsiveness and professionalism throughout our planning process. Adam was great for the day of our wedding! We received MANY compliments on the food which is catered by Turf Valley. The ceremony space was beautiful, I didn’t even have to decorate it! We would recommend Turf Valley for any engaged couples!

Wonderful Venue!

Turf Valley Resort was a wonderful place to hold our wedding! It was super easy having so much that you could already do on site: the hotel, the rehearsal dinner, the ceremony, the reception, and the food for the cocktail hour and the reception. Their team does a phenomenal job working with you every step of the way and making sure all the little details are accounted for. My husband and I highly recommend them!

The perfect venue!

The perfect venue for the perfect day! As soon as we saw the venue, we knew we wanted to get married here. From the outdoor garden to the ballroom and all of the amenities they offered, this was the perfect place to gather all of our family and friends. We were greeted with the best hospitality as soon as we met Jenny. We worked with Jenny and Jianna all the way up to the wedding day and they made the whole process so easy and stress free. Our maître d’ Adam was the best! He went above and beyond from the moment we met him. He completely exceeded our expectations and made our whole day run so smoothly. Not only is the staff so caring and detailed oriented but the food was also amazing. We received so many compliments on every detail of our wedding - venue, staff, food. I highly recommend Turf Valley and their team for your dream wedding!

Wedding of my dreams 8/30/25

I cannot say enough about this place. Turf Valley Resort is exactly what I was looking for when it came to being able to provide everything!!! They have a hotel on site which made it such a memorable weekend. We had our rehearsal dinner at the restaurant at the hotel. Our ceremony was outside at the Pergula which is absolutely stunning and reception inside. Mia and Wendy especially were amazing to work with!!!! They went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. The entire staff is extremely helpful and kind. We toured other venues and this was actually more so in our budget than others. It was a dream come true. The food is amazing as well.

Fantastic experience at a fair price

Turf Valley did a great job of helping us coordinate everything into a one-stop-shop solution. We were already married at a court house so we did a reception after the fact in the Terrace on the Green and hosted our out of town guests in the hotel through a block. We had about a hundred back and forth emails before the event making sure every last detail was correct. Mia & Carol were very responsive in answering our many, many questions. The staff on the day of the event were very accommodating in switching up the seating and tables after we had unexpected last minute cancelations from a few of our guests. The food was wonderful (we strongly recommend doing their annual wedding expo and doing the tasting prior to picking). The menu is versatile and we were only able to find a single thing we didn't love when trying the entirety of the options at the tasting event. Our guests were complimentary of the hotel rooms and felt the block rate discounts were very fair. Our Maitre D, Chris, was fantastic and anything we asked him for he took care of very quickly. When we stepped away to take more pictures during dinner we were surprised to notice the staff had already put food covers over our dinners to make sure they didn't get cold. Every time I returned back to the bride/groom table my water was refilled. They were on top of things the entire night. Last and probably most important, the staff was having fun with us. They were dancing along with the songs (shoutout to the bartender and waitstaff) and having a great time while also keeping everything moving. Overall, the reception was a great experience for everyone and we felt the price was extremely fair for the value we got.

Exceptional Weekend All in One Location

Incredible experience having our wedding here. They were so on top of everything! We we're nervous about setting up ourselves, and just having a day of coordinator through the resort, but their coordinator Adam was top-notch. He handled everything no problem, was pro-active and made sure our day went perfect. So amazing - great value can't recommend this place enough.
Our guests loved that everything was in one location - and the food was way better than typical banquet food. 10/10 all-around
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
