Absolutely incredible

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! We are so happy and pleased with the service everyone at Washtenaw Golf Club provided throughout the planning process and actual wedding day. We only had 2 months to plan the wedding and Donna along with her team were so kind, honest, caring, and professional. The club is Beautiful inside and out! but what really sold us the most was Donna. The moment we met I felt her genuine care and concern to help us plan and make the biggest day of our lives, she talked me off the ledge on several occasions and just reassured me so much through the process since I pretty much knew nothing of what a wedding requires. The FOOD was AMAZING as well and Pricing was within a reasonable budget plus with a few added perks. We received nothing but great comments from our family and guests. Everyone had an amazing time. I'm so glad we chose this venue and I will definitely be back for any future events!
P.S. the Bridal Party Rooms are sooo Cute!!

I had to plan my wedding in 6 months from 5 states away. Donna and the whole crew made it so easy. It truly was a one stop shop, tables, linens, dishes, glassware, flatware, food, bar, everything. Donna was an angel to work with and made everything simple and digestible.

The perfect wedding location

We truly couldn’t have picked a better place to have our wedding! The staff is absolutely incredible! Donna and Noah especially made our day an absolute breeze. Donna never failed to answer my many questions with quick replies, recommendations, draw outs, everything. The food is delicious and they have MANY options to choose from. The scenery is absolutely beautiful, and perfect for the best pictures! It’s spacious and the Sun room is beautiful as well. They truly made everything so easy for my husband and I to be able to enjoy our night. Thank you Washtenaw golf club for everything, our night was perfect.

The absolute best!

Getting married at the Washtenaw Golf Club was a dream. Our wedding was so beautiful and we couldn’t have imagined it any other way. Donna was so helpful throughout the entire process! We had to reschedule 3 times due to Covid and each time she was so understanding and helped us to get new dates. She made the whole process so easy! The grounds were beautiful and it really made for some gorgeous pictures. I definitely recommend!

Perfect!!!

I can’t express how amazing this venue was for our wedding. They did everything right. Starting off, Donna was so helpful with planning and preparing for the event. She was very friendly and receptive. It made it very easy to organize everything. We had a welcome party and our wedding here and both went so wonderfully. The food was so amazing for both events. Their hors d'oeuvres were fantastic - all of them, I especially loved the beef tenderloin crostini. For our entrees at the wedding we had Michigan Chicken and White Fish, both came out perfect. The venue space is beautiful and a fabulous backdrop for getting married. Our ceremony was outside and our reception indoors. The patios were really fun to go out on at night and when they were all lit up it was a like a dream. It’s a beautiful golf course, so it makes for really nice photos. On top of all this, the wedding packages are really reasonably priced, you get a LOT for what you’re paying. The service is also impeccable. Noah helped us so much on our big day and he did such an amazing job!

We had the best day of our lives here, and if you chose this venue you won’t be making a mistake.

Wonderful Venue!

After touring many different wedding venues, we decided to have both our ceremony and reception at Washtenaw Golf Club and everything was perfect! The entire staff was wonderful throughout the entire process, especially the coordinator Donna! Wedding planning is never easy but Donna and staff definitely helped make it easier and we were incredibly happy with the way the day turned out. The food was delicious, and all the decorations were beautiful! We specifically were looking for a place with an outdoor area and Washtenaw had two. Our guests loved the ability to enjoy the patio all night. Even though the venue had weddings booked the day before and after ours, we never felt rushed and we were able to take our time setting up in the morning. Overall we were very pleased with how everything came out and we could not recommend Washtenaw Golf Club more.

An overall great experiance.

Overall everything was pretty great. Donna, who was our contact, made sure we had everything ready to go. She was very knowledgeable not only when it came to the wedding but also as to what we would need. The staff that was on hand was great and professional. As for the venue, the gold course was great! We had great views and a great area to get pictures from. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

Amazing venue!

We had both our wedding ceremony and reception at the Washtenaw Golf Club. Everything went perfectly and we and all of our guests LOVED everything about it. The food was delicious, the event went off without a hitch, and we are so happy we had our wedding here. We originally had our wedding planned for 2021, but when we decided to delay our wedding a whole year due to COVID, Donna was SO helpful and flexible and made everything so easy and as stress free as possible. She was very responsive and helpful throughout the entire process, answered all my questions, and was so flexible with us which I am so thankful for. I couldn't recommend this venue enough!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
