Cassidy G. Sent on 02/13/2024Incredible venue
The LWRGCC was the PERFECT venue for our wedding. We had a lot of out of town guests who found the venue gorgeous and convenient. We loved that the bridal party could get ready at the venue, have first look photos, and our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all in one location. Guests enjoyed the indoor/outdoor event. My Dad worked as a bartender and his dad was a chef, so he is a tough critique when it comes to food and he LOVED everything!!! I highly recommend the short rib and sea bass.
THE BRIDAL SUITE IS AMAZING and we had the best time getting ready with our catered breakfast and lunch. The indoor spaces and outdoor spaces ( i.e. THE TUNNEL and golf course) provided GORGEOUS locations for our photos and everything was convenient. Our guests LOVED the food and are consistently complimenting the service.
Amy Stephenson SAVED THE DAY when she tied my now husband's bow tie!! Amy was a pleasure to work with and helped up create the wedding of our dreams. She recommended other fabulous vendors, as well. The champagne for guests while our ceremony started was a wonderful moment. I cannot THANK AMY AND THE ENTIRE STAFF AT LWRGCC enough for our amazing wedding. 10/10 recommend LWRGCC as a wedding venue. -

Our experience were fantastic Amy and Maxine were my back bones…. To choose not to have a wedding planner and having these two on site an email or phone calls away was extra helpful and very important! They were to the point on everything, nothing was done untouched, they covered all basics for my wedding to become the talk of everyone!
Their punctualities, respect’s, team work, our goals together were phenomenal!
The venue was like a place in Hollywood, very clean, elegant, it was exactly what I was looking for!
My guests loved Amy and Maxine you guys made them so welcomed and invited, for that I thank you!
The decorations were beautiful, the weather was perfect, the food was tasty and great, the open bar was a plus for my Caribbean folks!
I love it all the way around!
Thank you so much! -

I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience with Lakewood Ranch Golf and Country Club. From the time we booked the venue to the very end of our wedding night, everything was absolutely seamless. Hayley was our coordinator and she was THE BEST!!! Her attention to detail, organization, communication, vendor recommendations, timeline, decor setup, customer service, the list goes on and on... was perfect. She helped make the entire wedding planning process as stress free as possible, answered any questions we had almost immediately, and made accommodations when necessary. The venue was beautiful and the customer service was incredible. Could not have asked for a better wedding day or a better team to work with. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! :) -

I cannot say enough great things about working with Hayley. I secured this venue about a year before my wedding, and I am so glad I did. It was pretty much a no-brainer because the prices were reasonable, they offered catering, and I loved that they had a terrace on the second floor and a large ballroom. We loved the smooth transition from our ceremony on the lawn, up the stairs to cocktail hour on the terrace, through the doors to the ballroom for the reception, and down through the main stairs to the sparkler exit outdoors. The grounds and the clubhouse are beautiful. I especially loved the cool shots we got from the Ivy Tunnel (I think that's what it's called?). The bridal suite is also HUGE and I love that you get a large private room that you can keep your things in when the wedding starts. I also appreciated that they provide a steamer and clothing rack. You also order your food for the morning/afternoon of (breakfast/lunch for bridal suite, lunch for groomsmen suite); we loved the food and the presentation of it. The groomsmen get a room on the ground floor which is called the "Card Room" and that's connected to an outdoor terrace which is great for pictures.
But anyways, enough about the venue... Hayley is a Catering Sales Manager at LWRGCC and she is THE BEST!!! Like oh my goodness, my day would not have been as amazing as it was without her. She has such an attention to detail and is so organized. We worked so well together. She and Maxine seriously saved the day at my wedding, because unfortunately, one of my vendors provided chairs that had visible ugly velcro straps on them. So they took care of this behind the scenes, and Maxine drove to go get chair pads from this vendor that covered the velcro straps. I am beyond appreciative, because they really went above and beyond their duty. In general, Hayley did so much more than a venue coordinator should do, such as helping to move my ceremony flowers to reception. I adore the team at this venue and I couldn't be happier. -

Our wedding was beyond our expectations, everything was amazing. Amy and her team was amazing, she understood our vision and she executed everything we asked for. From our initial walk through of the venue, our tasting, to our rehearsal dinner and our amazing wedding.. just everything was amazing. I just can't thank Amy and her team enough. If done all over again we wouldn't change a thing. -

We can't say enough great things about our wedding at LRGCC. Every guest couldn't stop talking about how beautiful it was and how great the food was. The service we received through the whole process made getting married easier and enjoyable. They provided preferred vendors which was very helpful as it was a destination wedding. Plus, you can't beat that staircase entrance! -

Dream Wedding!
You could not put a price on the experience we had at LWRGCC! From the second we walked in we were taken back by the beauty of this venue and the knowledge their wedding coordinator, Hayley, shared about the venue, vendors in the area, and all the need-to-know leading up to our day. Our wedding ceremony was supposed to be on the lawn but was unfortunately rained out. The relationship between the staff at LWRGCC and Oneco florist was unbelievable and I could not have been more thankful for their expertise putting together a beautiful indoor ceremony. From the rehearsal dinner to the end of the night, our wedding with LWRGCC was one for the books and we will forever cherish it being the best day of our lives thanks to the staff and Hayley. -

Everything was perfect! The venue is beautiful, the food was exceptional and the staff left nothing to be desired. Amy made sure no detail was left unattended and was so accommodating and attentive! The bridal suite was spacious and the staff made sure we had everything we needed to make the time before our ceremony carefree and enjoyable. Anything I asked for was granted happily without question or hesitation. I worked at a resort hotel executing many weddings and my personal experience at the Lakewood Ranch Golf and Country Club exceeded the level of expertise I expected. Amy Anthofer is phenomenal at her job as Catering Sales Manager. -

Kat Sent on 10/30/2021So Supportive!
Our wedding guests cannot stop talking about this venue! We were a COVID couple, so we hired the Club as our venue back in 2019, for what became a 2021 wedding. The whole time we were struggling with planning and postponing, our original coordinator was so supportive in helping us navigate a terrible situation. Our wedding was passed to Hayley after our original coordinator left and she was so great to work with the whole rest of the way. The beauty of this space speaks for itself, but the support we received from the whole team made it worth every penny. On top of the food being incredible! And the ceremony space just cannot be beaten - our guests are still raving about my entrance down the spiral staircase into the ceremony. It made my procession unique and unforgettable. The entire club is perfect for any romantic, bright, open, and airy weddings. Thank you Hayley! -

Absolute perfect!
Our day was perfect and this venue is beautiful! The staff was great and the food was delicious! All the vendors they work with were great and local so they are there often and have their routines down but above all was Hayley the wedding coordinator! SHE IS AMAZING!! Our wedding would not have been as smooth and flawless as it was without her! From start to finish she was there. She follows up and has timelines and always asks if I needed anything. I NEVER once stressed about the wedding, not even on the day! We had a 6 o’clock(pm) wedding and got there at 9 o’clock (am) to get ready and take pictures before. We were there all day and it was all perfect! Hayley was the best!!!!
There is not one thing I regret about using this venue. -

Alexandra L. Sent on 04/21/2021Hayley & Lakewood Ranch GCC- Truly Exceptional
Where to even begin?! Lakewood Ranch Golf and Country Club made all of our wedding dreams come to LIFE. With Hayley as our Captain at the helm throughout our entire journey, my husband and I experienced the most unforgettable day of our lives with every detail more beautiful than the next. Firstly, the absolutely stunning venue: we each had Bridal and Groom suites to get ready with our loved ones on the day of, and the entire property was meticulously breathtaking inside and out, from the ceremony grounds, cocktail hour, ballroom reception, photo/video backdrops, everything was an elegant fairytale. Secondly, the food and beverage was phenomenal. From appetizers to meals, Chef did the most incredible job, all 168 guests raved from beginning to end...and even in the beginning of our planning, he sat with us to convey the quality of food, care, service, EVERYTHING. We were so impressed and touched.
Thirdly, and most importantly, the team, the people, the very foundation of the Club - we owe it all to them, from servers, to dining managers, bartenders and most of all HAYLEY- there's not enough characters to convey our immense gratitude and love. We were absolutely blown away by Hayley, in every part of our wedding journey, from planning to execution, she went above and BEYOND to not only bring our vision to life, but add, and ask additional questions, provide her depth of experience and attention to detail to make sure every little part of our wedding day was truly perfect. Even if you are the most organized person and think you have it all sorted, no matter what, there will be details you forget in the rush of things, and Hayley, knowing this, was our superhero who guided and supported us throughout, always two steps ahead with the biggest smile on her face. Hayley not just professionally, but personally, was a dream. Her passion, warmth, genuine excitement and fun loving attitude shone through every step of the way. They say a picture says a thousand words, and this photo captured during our last dance, says it all. We brought Hayley into a huddled hug, a moment of intimacy and the purest celebration- you can see the joy and bond. Honestly, Hayley is the wedding planner turned best friend of your dreams- and the entire family of Lakewood Ranch Golf and Country Club will forever hold the most special place in our hearts.
P.S. special shout out to Meghan and Holly for all their support as well, from pre-ceremony support to continuously checking in with us, family and friends throughout the reception, and even afterwards, when coming back to the venue to pick up our belongings, they made sure everything went off without a hitch. We cannot say THANK YOU enough! -

I absolutely LOVED this venue. I have passed down the recommendation to several other brides as well. The service is wonderful, the staff is amazing, incredible food, and a spiral staircase, (I mean come on). I will say the most amazing part of the whole experience was Hayley the coordinator. She went above and beyond for me being a Covid bride and I felt so at ease with everything knowing she had my back. -

Lakewood Ranch Golf and Country Club was the perfect place to have our wedding! The venue is gorgeous and the staff is the most professional group of people. Hayley was the absolute best and made sure our entire day ran smoothly. I would pick this venue just for Hayley alone, she is the best wedding planner and pays attention to all the details! I couldn’t have asked for a better venue! -

Stephanie Z. Sent on 04/28/2021Fantastic Venue!
This was a beautiful location to hold our rehearsal dinner (wine room), wedding ceremony (lawn), cocktail hour (patio), and reception (ballroom). The staff is so professional and accommodating, particularly as our expected guest count changed due to COVID. Even with a change in coordinator part way through planning, the transition was seamless and the planning made easy. They were so easy for our band, florist, and string trio to work with, and parking is convenient for guests. They truly went above and beyond to make our day run smoothly. Our food selections received rave reviews as well. We looked at numerous venues including the Ritz Carleton in Sarasota, the Vinoy in St. Pete, and several resorts in Clearwater, and all were significantly more expensive without greater value. With such a high quality venue and excellent service at the Lakewood Ranch Golf and Country Club, I don’t think we could have had a more beautiful wedding elsewhere. My husband, family, and I would highly recommend this venue. -

I cannot say enough about Lakewood Ranch Golf and Country Club. We used their ballroom for our wedding reception and it was the absolute perfect place to celebrate our marriage! I was able to have use of the venue all day from getting ready early in the morning with my bridal party until our reception ended. All of the meetings and food tastings were very professional. I wanted a mix of elegance but a place where we could enjoy the party and they exceeded my expectations! The Ivy Tunnel was also an area I knew would embody the elegance of this venue. I could not have asked for a better venue or staff! We also had our rehearsal dinner in the wine room and I am so grateful we were able to use that space! -
