Somerby Golf Club Reviews

We had our wedding and wedding reception here, and really thought it was the best location in all of Southern Minnesota. First off, Trina (the director of catering and sales for Somerby) proved to be invaluable throughout the whole process. The location is beautiful, the amenities were amazing, the catering was really the best we've tasted, and the service was professional. Overall, they handled everything without a hitch and made for a memorable event. If you are planning your wedding here, you expectations will be met - and exceeded!

They were fantastic! Trina, the wedding coordinator at Somerby, was very responsive to all my questions and concerns. I never had a question that went unanswered. She is very on top of things. In trying to coordinate the reception times and decorations, I was able to tell Trina the 'big ideas' on how I wanted the wedding reception to look and with her expertise and experience, Trina took these ideas and made them into reality. We dropped off decorations several days before and Trina and her staff set up the entire reception! I never had to lift a finger. They also took down the entire reception as well. Would highly recommend!

Somerby is an absolutely beautiful location for a reception! The reception space is indoors but has plenty of large windows to let the sunshine in. There's a patio outside to allow guests to get some fresh air. We had plenty of space for dinner and dancing without having to move any tables around. The food and service is spectacular. We had the peach rosemary chicken and the butternut squash ravioli. They were very accommodating to guests with different needs- vegetarian, gluten free, etc. I would highly recommend them to anyone!

Such a beautiful location for a wedding reception and the staff was extremely pleasant to work with. Very professional and timely in their responses. Had great advice from table decorations to the timeline of events for the evening. Food was amazing; guests still talking about the food 2 years later! Allow you onto golf course for photos. Perfect venue!

We had our reception at Somerby and were so impressed! Trina, the event coordinator at Somerby, was very helpful throughout the planning process. She was patient with all of my questions in the months prior, and after meeting with her a few days before the wedding, made me feel confident that everything from the setup of the ballroom and entry area, to decorations, to meals, to the night-of timeline was all set. Somerby also does a free tasting event in the fall (November) and Spring (April) for all booked weddings, which my family and I appreciated attending to pick out what food we wanted. (Be prepared to be happily full by the end of the night! There are also some other local vendors to talk to.) We chose to bring in many of our own decorations, and although there were events the nights prior to our wedding, the ballroom was set up by 6am on our wedding day, giving us time to set up the tables. That morning we also left snacks, and for no charge, Somerby set up a great snack table and cake table with all of the cupcakes another vendor brought. We had a beautiful summer day, so our guests enjoyed the deck area overlooking the course (the sunset was gorgeous!), and the grounds and buildings provided many wonderful spots to take photos with our bridal party before dinner. We got many compliments about the food, Trina and the rest of the staff were great, and everything ran so smoothly and looked beautiful! I would definitely recommend Somerby to anyone getting married in the Rochester/Byron area.

We used Somerby for our rehearsal dinner. The food was absolutely amazing. Even a month out, I still hear comments from people about how great the food was. I also loved that they let us bring in our own dessert. The atmosphere and service were amazing as well. I believe my mother in law had some trouble reaching Somerby a couple of times when trying to pay the down payment. It all worked out though, so it wasn't a big deal. Overall, everything was amazing and so fun. I would definitely recommend Somerby.

Trina and all the staff did an amazing job with our wedding! Everyone was raving about how great the food was. They are very professional, flexible, they help set up of all your decor, and the venue does not get any prettier/better! We recommend having any function at Somerby and you won't be disappointed!

The perfect place for a wedding reception! Being a private country club, the scenery couldn't have been more beautiful (sun setting over the lake & evergreens with gorgeous fairways and greens in the background). The banquet hall itself was wonderful and didn't require much for decoration. The wedding coordinator was extremely helpful throughout the entire process, answering any questions I had and giving ideas about everything (from place cards to seating charts to the location of the gift table). The staff was very polite and professional during the event, and went out of their way to ensure that the entire night went perfectly. The food was outstanding and guests were pleasantly surprised with how much food they received.

This venue may seem pricey at first, but once all of the helpful services and extras are included it really is very reasonable and well-worth the cost!
