    Best Experience Possible

    We worked with Michelle and team for our wedding in November and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. It started with a great tour of the facility, fair & transparent pricing with an honest evaluation of what would be the best fit for our desires. Additionally, a smooth planning process took as much stress as possible off of our plates. Add in a professional and kind staff that makes the experience for the couple and guests as memorable as possible.

    Then we can talk about the food, best wedding meal I have ever experienced. Wow. Short ribs, the appetizers...all of it was outstanding. The only thing we wish is that we can experience that meal again. Highly highly highly recommend using Western Lakes for your wedding.

    Winter Western Lakes Seitz Wedding 1/6/24

    Winter Wedding @ Western Lakes 1/6/24:
    After touring Western Lakes a year out from our wedding I knew it was the perfect reception venue for my now husband and I. Jamie (Western Lakes Event Coordinator) knocked it out of the park with the initial tour and planning. She was so pleasant and easy to work with and offered amazing ideas for decor, hospitality, and budgeting. Michelle (Saz’s Event Coordinator) was even more vital in the planning process. About a month out for our final meeting, she sat us down and developed a minute by minute timeline for the reception. It couldn’t have been any more organized and the most seamless flow when wedding day rolled around. She remembered details I mentioned months prior via email, organized the best tasting, and was always available for questions or concerns. The waitstaff must not go unnoticed at Saz’s. Vicki, our team lead, was on top of every single detail from our personalized napkins for cocktail hour, to scrambling to set 4 extra place settings for dinner, to giving us a huge hug after dinner. Food was served in an incredibly timely manner as was table clearing. The entire team made our day the best one of our lives. The golf course offered amazing photos for the bridal party, the line of windows in the reception room provided a cozy, elegant feel. The bartenders kept everyone’s beers full and consistently did so with a smile.
    Thank you to Western Lakes and the Saz’s team for making our winter wedding so incredibly special!! 10/10

    Excellent Experience

    We had an excellent experience. Michelle, who helped coordinate our wedding, was awesome to work with. Great food and beautiful venue. Having the dance floor, bar, and bathrooms within 50 feet of each other made for a fun night. We would definitely recommend this venue.

    The Perfect Day

    I cannot say enough good things about our experience with western lakes. We had both our ceremony and reception here and from the very beginning when we toured through the day of, the help and support from the staff was incredible. The food was unbelievable - we received several comments from guests about how great it all was. Michelle was knowledgeable, responsive and kind- we really loved working with her. The ceremony in front of the gazebo was beautiful too. Sazs/Western Lakes made our day PERFECT! We are so thankful.

    Daughters wedding.

    Michelle, who was our contact person, was prompt and very accommodating to our needs. The venue was beautiful and the staff was amazing. The food was very good and served hot. When I arrived at the venue (MOB) the head staff personnel introduced themselves and was very attentive to our needs. I have nothing bad to say, everything was perfect.

    Love this place

    My wife and I loved this place! We booked back in October 2020 and had our wedding this past May 2022. It was the most beautiful place to have a wedding. We chose to have our ceremony by the gazebo. The Western Lakes team was very prepared and made sure everything ran smoothly. They also had an alternate plan incase of rain, we could have the ceremony inside. They were easy to get ahold of and their pricing was the best pricing we saw while looking around for venues. We booked in the “off season” so we did not have a guest minimum, and we also got free appetizers, late night food and a champagne toast! There’s also an amazing bridal suite to use with vanity’s, multiple plug ins, lounging room and another area for you to hang dresses and get into your wedding dress. I highly recommend this place and want to say a huge thank you to our planner Michelle, and her entire team! We appreciate you guys making our day special!

    Better than I could ever imagine!

    I have zero regrets about having my wedding with Saz’s. Michelle, Joe, the bar, kitchen, and service staff were so easy, helpful and wonderful to work with. They made sure our guests and our wedding party had not a care on our wedding day. The food was delicious and even better than our tasting. Every little detail from communication to presentation was thought of and done perfectly. I’m so thankful for all the staff at Saz’s!

    Wedding Reception

    My wife and I had our wedding reception here and OH MY GOODNESS what an AWESOME time we and all our guests had!!! The cocktail hour appetizers were absolutely incredible, dinner was made to perfection for all, the servers did an incredible job getting everything out to everyone in a timely fashion, the late night pizza was BOMB and the bartenders killed it all night long. All of our guests raved about all of the food and we really couldn't have asked or expected anything more perfect for our special day. Jamie was great to work with, and even let us come in for a couple hours the day before to set stuff up and also the day after to pick stuff up so we didn't have to worry about it all on the wedding day. I would (and already have) highly recommended this venue to others I know getting married. An absolute incredible staff that should be so proud of everything they do!!!

    Best bang for your buck in a beautiful place!

    Western Lakes is a beautiful venue! Everything is in one place, the tree backdrop is lovely, the open concept is perfect, and the staff is wonderful. Michelle our coordinator was wonderful to work with and everything went as planned. They respond quickly, the food tasting was great and they accommodated a few changes! It was very affordable the food was delicious (Saz’s catering) and the staff helps you set up. Everyone loved our venue and raved about the views and the food for weeks to come. Definitely take a look if you want the best value and the best pictures!

    My husband and I were absolutely blown away by the service we received. Michelle and her staff were so receptive to our needs and helped immensely with the timing and planning of the day. We are still getting compliments from our guests on the food and service. We cannot recommend Western Lakes enough!

    Premier experience at Western Lakes!

    My husband and I hosted our wedding reception at Western Lakes and we could not be happier with our experience! Not only are the views gorgeous, the building is classy, spacious, and welcoming. The service we were given was excellent, both leading up to our reception and on the day of. The event planning team was extremely responsive and accommodating, and the on-site staff were very gracious and helpful. We felt well taken care of and were able to enjoy a relaxing, special day. The food and bar service were both outstanding (we got a lot of compliments from our guests!). We have nothing but great things to say about Western Lakes! If you are anywhere in South-Central Wisconsin, you need to put this venue on your list!

    Great experience!

    We got married in January 2021 at WLGC. Joe was awesome to work with and made sure we had the best experience. He answers all questions thoroughly and is very responsive. The venue was clean & the staff was friendly. It was the best decision to have our wedding there. We highly recommend having your event there.

    The Best Venue!!

    Joe was amazing. He really took the time to make sure every detail was handled correctly and was a pleasure to work with. We got married on January 16th and the whole day was perfect. From the start of just looking at the venue, the tasting, and the venue itself and day of our wedding everything was perfect. The servers and bartenders were fantastic and friendly, the food of course was amazing and everything was just so smooth. I highly recommend this venue to everyone you won't regret it!

    Perfect Venue

    Even though COVID-19 came through and pushed out wedding date back, Western Lakes Golf Club definitely had no problem working with us. 3 months later we was still able to have our wedding there and I loved every bit of it. We was able to use the entire place and the bridal suite was a plus. I would recommend this place to anyone planning a wedding on a budget.

    Western Lakes was amazing to work with!

    We could not have chosen a better vendor for our ceremony and reception! First, the Saz's food was amazing. All of our guests said it was the best food at a wedding that they have ever had! Western Lakes was also super flexible and worked with us. Sara always responded super quickly and answered all of our questions. It rained on our wedding day and the venue was able to move our ceremony inside and still made it beautiful. The people at Saz's and Western Lakes were amazing to work with and the venue itself is gorgeous. We are so happy we went with them!

    I'd Recommend Saz's to Anyone!

    Saz's Lake Country was professional, helpful, and extremely communicative throughout our whole wedding planning process. When it came to the wedding day, the team showed up on time, set everything up exactly how we wanted to, and the food was incredible. We had countless guests compliment the food and the presentation of the food after the big night. I would recommend Saz's Lake Country to any of my family and friends for a wedding or catered event!

    Perfect Venue for Our Wedding

    My now husband and I had discussed having our ceremony and reception at the same location and had a more limited budget. I knew an outdoor ceremony would also be magical (if the weather cooperated, which it did thankfully). Western Lakes and the Saz's Catering Lake Country partnership checked all of the boxes! We knew the second we walked in and met with co-owner and catering manager, Chris, that we would have our wedding there. The way the team there structure everything is top notch, and they were all actively engaged in making our wedding spectacular. Coordinator Sara even responded to one of my (many) emails with questions while on a beach vacation, which was above and beyond the call of duty. The team even put out all of my signage, set out the place cards, and strung lights on the balcony that morning, so we didn't have to do a thing. We loved every minute of our special day, and we are still getting responses (a month later) from our guests with how wonderful everything was during our wedding!

    Wonderful experience at Western Lakes Golf Club for Daughter's Wedding

    Western Lakes Golf Club was recommended to us by a good friend for our daughter's reception. It ended up being a wonderful experience due to its location, beautiful indoor and outdoor space, excellent food, and responsiveness of Chris, Sara, and Izzy. Although the wedding occurred in Milwaukee, the Pewaukee location was ideal in that we had many family members traveling from Madison. In addition, there are nearby hotels for our guests who were traveling from Maryland, Connecticut, and Florida. The grounds were perfect for outdoor photos as the wedding was the end of October, and the trees were just beautiful! Many individuals took photos in front of the bright red tree in front of the building. We selected a buffet meal with three entrees, and Chris worked with individuals who needed special meals to ensure that their needs were met. As the night went on, individuals used the outdoor patio space to cool off during the dance, and enjoyed looking out over the golf course. Chris and Sara were very helpful in planning our reception, answering our questions, being flexible, and ensuring that we thought of everything. Izzy did a wonderful job of setting up the centerpieces and decorating the space in advance so that we could see it the Thursday prior to the wedding that occurred on Saturday. We would highly recommend Western Lakes Golf Club for your reception.

    I am beyond THRILLED with our wedding and highly recommend Western Lakes to couples in the Lake Country area. Our reception was STUNNING. Sara (the site coordinator) and her crew set up all my decor to perfection. Guests kept saying how beautiful and unique our panoramic reception was. The food was EXCELLENT! From our appetizers to dinner to late night fare, Chris (the co-owner of Saz's Catering their vendor) was professional, responsive, and helpful. You get so many great choices. Western Lakes also has a cool bar set up; our guests did not want to leave! From beginning to end, I wouldn't change a thing. You will get tremendous value and will be so happy if you choose Western Lakes Golf Club in Pewaukee! I strongly recommend this venue.

    Saz's and Western Lakes made my wedding the perfect day! I had both ceremony and reception here - ceremony was outside on the grass, so pretty!! I didn't have to worry about anything related to decorating the reception space and it turned out better than I even thought it would! Chris and Sara did an amazing job with everything from start to finish and were so quick to answer all my random questions leading up to our day. They also were so flexible and were always quick to say that it was my day and they'd make it happen. Not to mention the food was great, especially the late night fries and cheese curds, which were a HUGE hit! Agree that you definitely don't need a separate wedding coordinator if you have your wedding here.

    We had Saz's Catering-Lake Country for our daughter's wedding at The Barn at Trinity Peak. The food was fantastic and the service was exceptional. Kudos to Chris Wright and his staff for making the day special.

    I could not have been happier with Western Lakes. I had my wedding there in April and it was perfect! They set everything up which was great, we got so many compliments on the venue and food. Thanks Sara and Chris it was great!

    Western Lakes was the BEST venue for my wedding. Sara worked with me to help create the best reception I have ever been to! She worked with me to make sure there was enough spotted cow to go around, make sure we could have pizzas at the end of the night, while still having snacks at the cocktail hour. They even put together everything for the reception and took down everything at no cost! This does not happen at every venue!! My emails were returned in less than a day, and all my questions were answered. Western Lakes is the best venue for the best price.

    I can't say enough positive things about Sara and Chris at Western Lakes!! They were absolutely awesome to work with. I never had to worry about anything related to the reception. If I had a question, they answered right away; if I wanted to do something different, they said 'of course, it's your wedding!.' The amount of stress they took off me was incredible. The venue is great, the prices fantastic, and the food was delicious. I can't recommend them enough!!

    Chris, Saz's and everyone at Western Lakes were absolutely phenomenal to work with! Chris answered all of my millions of questions throughout the year before the wedding, and the staff was super helpful in that they set everything up and tore everything down at the end of the night. I had originally been a little worried about the layout of the room since it was so long, but it actually wound up to be perfect, since it forced people to mingle and made it easy for us to see everyone. The backdrop of windows over the golf course was gorgeous, and our guests seemed to really appreciate the outdoor space with cocktail tables.
    Guests kept coming up to tell us how delicious the food was all night! I also heard from lots of people how great the bartenders were, that no one ever felt like they had to wait or that they were an inconvenience (as has happened at quite a few weddings I've been to.) We did an open bar for beer and wine, but had tons of guests ordering shots and cocktails all night. They were all super sweet with myself and my husband, guarding drinks that we left on the bar and always serving with a smile.
    I could go on all day about what a fantastic experience I had at Western Lakes, and highly recommend that you look into them for your own wedding!

    Chris and the whole staff could not have been more wonderful to work with. Any time I had a question, I received a quick response delivered with humor and professionalism. The food was exactly as we wanted it to be....hot and properly cooked. The staff was willing to do anything we asked of them. In short, all I had to do was relax and enjoy our daughter's wedding. Thank you to Christ and the entire staff.

    For a one stop shop wedding, Western Lakes was perfect! Chris and his staff went above an beyond to make our day seamless. We had an outdoor wedding, but had the options to do it indoors, in a tent, on the fairway, or gazebo and could decide day of. Being a late October wedding, they even served coffee and hot cocoa to our guests. The food was amazing and we're still having people rave about it! I cannot thank Chris enough for helping us with everything. His professionalism and guidance was comforting and much appreciated. We wouldn't have changed a thing!

    Western Lakes was FABULOUS! Chris worked with us to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. They don't charge for linens and we could use different colored napkins free of charge. We got a great deal since it was a sunday wedding that included free appetizers, free champagne toast and free late night food which was a HIT. There were also various spots for the ceremony which was perfect since we ended up having to switch from the open grass to under a tent (also free of charge) due to the threat of rain. The staff was AMAZING and were able to accommodate any and all needs we had. We had absolutely no issues at all, they made our day absolutely PERFECT! I would recommend this venue to anyone!

    Chris at Western Lakes was amazing to work with in planning our wedding. He was very responsive to all of the calls and emails and numerous meetings from the "perfectionist" nervous bride.
    The staff was friendly and very professional. They set the room up perfectly with little direction the day of.
    We were able to have our ceremony outdoors on the golf course free of charge. That was a nice perk!
    The food was outstanding with very generous portion sizes.
    I would highly recommend this venue to others.

    We had our wedding reception at Western Lakes and Chris and his staff did a wonderful job. We got tons of compliments on how delicious our food was and the waitstaff was very attentive. The staff also set up all of our centerpieces for us (not just put them out on the tables, but arranged flowers) and did all the little day-before and day-of details that normally you have to handle yourself or pay someone else to do. Chris was amazingly easy to work with and quick to respond to any questions I had. I would definitely recommend Western Lakes to a friend!

    Western Lakes is a beautiful place for a wedding reception. I originally chose the location because it had floor to ceiling windows along the entire wall. I had a winter wedding and wanted everyone to be able to see all of the snow and ice that winter brings and looking out over golf course. The food is fantastic and everything we tried was great. It was hard to narrow it done that's for sure. Since we had a winter wedding we got a lot of great deals. They let us in on the Thursday before the wedding to set everything up which was very helpful with stress. We got to chose any color napkins, without an extra cost. Everything went so smoothly the day of the wedding and I give a lot of that credit to them.

    Western Lakes was the best place I could have ever imagined having my wedding reception. The hall was absolutely breathtaking in itself, with all the windows overlooking the scenic golf course. It was also recently remodeled. The hall is very large, with two dance floors and a full bar. Having two dance floors is nice because the dance floor we decided not to use as our dance floor, we used as a cocktail area instead. The Western Lakes staff brought out extra cocktail tables from storage to put on that dance floor by the bar. We had our wedding on a Sunday so we received special extras. If you have your wedding on a Friday or a Sunday, there is no minimum amount of people, you get free h'ors deurves (both hot and cold) during cocktail hour, and you get a free champagne toast. Chris, the director for weddings and special events at Western Lakes, is amazing to work with. He is there to accommodate your every need for your wedding. His staff sets up the hall very nicely the day of the wedding. You just have to bring everything in the day before the wedding, including flowers. They have a huge cooler where they can keep your flowers in the kitchen. Everything was set up perfectly, just as I had explained it to Chris. For our favors for our guests we wanted to have chocolate milkshakes in martini glasses with a cholive (chocolate shaped like an olive). Chris said that he had never had anyone do that before, but that it was no problem. He had someone serving the milkshakes at 8PM that night. The price for the food was also VERY reasonable! It was a ton of food and it was delicious! Whatever we wanted, Chris and Western Lakes was there to accommodate! I would recommend this hall to anyone!

    I recently had my wedding reception at Western Lakes Golf Club. This was a wonderful experience. I worked with a man named Chris who helped so much with every little detail. I brought in all of my decorations on the Thursday before my wedding. He also let my mother, father and I make the flower arrangements for the tables the Friday before the wedding. He even fed us lunch while we were working! The service an dfood was exceptional. I recieved so many compliments on the food. Because I had my wedding on a Sunday, they gave us free appetizers and a free champagne toast. The free appetizers were delicious and the toast would have costed us over 400 dollars but they gave it to us for free. The banquet room was recently remodeled and offered a beautiful setting for a wedding reception. I highly recommend this hall.

    We loved Western Lakes Golf Club as a location. The owners were very nice and accommodating, they popped in on the day to congratulate us and play with our dog, who was our ring bearer, and answer any last minute questions we had. Western Lakes is also catered by Saz's so the food was AMAZING and the portions were HUGE!! All of our guests had positive things to say about the food, especially that they were so full! Chris, who is the head caterer for Saz's was so helpful and accommodating. Sarah, also with Saz's, was so helpful she, set up the hall for us just the way we wanted. She was very calm and very good at listening, especially when you are stressed and only have a few minutes to tell her how to make everything perfect before you get pulled in another direction. Both Sarah and Chris made our special day perfect and we are forever thankful!

    Best wedding ever!

    This past Saturday my now wife and I had our wedding ceremony and reception at Western Lakes Golf Club. The staff were incredible! Helpful and friendly. The food was amazing in quality, taste and portions. All of our guests raved about the food throughout the evening. Sam’s knocked it out of the box for us!

    Fun Spring Wedding!

    We got married here end of April 2023 and it was a great experience! Western Lakes is an affordable option compared to other venues in the area. They provided linens, did the room flip, and helped coordinate day of. They also have drinks and food in house which made the planning process so smooth! Not to mention our guest were raving about the food. We were hoping for an outdoor ceremony but due to Wisconsin weather we had it inside. The large windows still provided an amazing feel for an indoor ceremony. The lower level provided a place for guests to go during cocktail hour and allow the room flip to occur upstairs without hinderance. The large trees on the golf course and the gazebo provided AMAZING backdrops to our photos. Would highly recommend this venue.

    Great experience!

    My husband and I got married at Western Lakes on 10/2/21. We have nothing but great things to say about Saz'z! Joe and Michelle were amazing to work with and super helpful. Anything questions we had or special requests we had they responded very quickly even when I kept changing the guest list and table numbers around. Our wedding turned out to be everything we dreamt it would be. Everyone raved about the food and how beautiful everything turned out. I would highly recommend Western Lakes and Saz's to anyone!

    Chris and Sarah with Saz's catering through Western Lakes Golf Club were fabulous to work with. They were so accommodating and always kind when dealing with our requests they did offer a rehearsal dinner which we did not utilize due to our Wedding being on a Friday and wedding party schedules limited on Thursday evening. This was by far one of the easiest parts of our entire wedding. The food was amazing, our guests were all pleased with the quality and especially quantity of the food. Too many weddings dinner end with guests complaining about still being hungry or they didn't eat enough because the food wasn't good...this was absolutely not the case! The views in the fall are stunning as the dinning room and bar are enclosed by floor to ceiling windows letting in the beautiful golf course views and amazing Wisconsin sunset. We are so happy with our decision to have our decision to have both our ceremony and reception on the grounds of Western Lakes.

    Wedding 08.01.2020

    We had our wedding here on August 1st! The staff was super friendly and helpful. The food was great and they were extremely flexible! There were two issues I had noticed the day of: some of the food was wrong in our buffet and the bar package advertised was not what we received. We had ordered the five cheese mac n cheese and received a completely different option. We also upgraded the beer packages and some of them were not available. I do recommend calling and confirming these details before your wedding day to prevent this from happening. But overall, great service and venue!

    Chris was great to work with to get everything planned for our reception. We also had out ceremony here as well. The plan was to have it outside but rain stopped that option real quick as it was cold and rainy. So everything got moved inside and we were a little worried but everyone of our guests were able to see and sit for the most part. It was nice. Food was great and night went off without a hitch.

    Great location and view

    Western Lakes Golf Club created a beautiful ceremony and reception location for us. We had a May wedding and when the weather became questionable for an outdoor ceremony they provided many options for us to still have a beautiful ceremony. They took on tedious tasks without us asking to make our day even easier such as hand stuffing 150 name cards between decorated clothespins and laying out two coaster favors at each table spot. The food was fantastic and the portions were very generous. Chris was also super flexible with our guests dietary needs. He provided gluten free options last minute for some of our guests without a fuss. Our guest are still complimenting on us on the food that was provided. We also were given some pretty nice perks for having a Friday wedding such as free hand-passed hors d'oeuvres, a champagne toast for all guests, and free late night fare. So thank you! The only reason I did not give them a perfect five was that we received some sass from an unknown worker out on the green. We were guaranteed at least two golf carts so that our photographer could take us out further onto the golf course to capture some cool moments. During family photos the golf carts were relocked up (though we still had the keys on us) without asking if we still needed them, and a random lady smoking a cigarette proceeded to get really snarky with us about how she had no one to unlock them and "what is the point you can't drive them on the grass anyways". Well with a little prodding, she finally gave in, and magically produced someone to unlock the carts and we were able to capture some really cool shots out on the green. Besides that minor upset early on in the night, Sarah was so helpful on the day of and she really made our day special in Chris's absence. The floor to ceiling windows and walk out balcony created some beautiful moments during the evening. Thank you Western Lakes for helping provide a very affordable, amazing wedding day for us!

    I will give Saz's Western Lakes Golf Club this much, the food was fantastic and the hall decorates up nicely but I am disappointed in the fact that our repeated messages left requesting a return call after the wedding related to their service and miscommunications. FIRST, they misplaced my cake topper (which I wanted to keep for my future anniversaries) and some cake plate/pillars they lost that I had to pay the cake person back for. SECONDLY, I missed out on many, many picture opportunities on the golf course because the grounds manager and the catering manager had different views on when we could have our pictures taken and at what time. This was one of the main reasons why we selected this hall/golf course because of the beautiful grounds and I DID NOT GO TO A PARK for any pictures!! When we contacted the golf course owner regarding the picture issues and explained the encounter and the situation he said he would investigate it and definitely get to the bottom of it. He never returned a call to us nor would he return messages that we left him trying to find out what happened. LASTLY, we were lead to believe that only one wedding was held at a time and much to our surprise there was an outside wedding held in a tent on the grounds in which some of those wedding guests were getting free drinks from our bar (we had an open bar), exactly what was our fear was with facilities that host more than one wedding on the same date. I feel as a Bride, these issues need to be given to other brides who are considering Western Lakes Golf Course as their venue. I am so sad that I will not have those beautiful outside pictures to view in the future or have my wedding cake topper for my anniversary cakes for years to come!!

    We were working with Chris, the banquette manager. He never told us that he would not be there on the day of the wedding as we were thought to believe. He was not there for the rehearsal day nor the day of our wedding. It was helpful that they were able to set up the tables and room decor the night before, but the service felt unorganized and unhelpful. I didn't know who to talk to at first to ask questions to. When I finally found the person, he disappeared again. The dinner was served in an unorganized fashion too. When they served a table, they would serve some entrees, but not to every person and would move on to the next table. They would eventually come back and serve the rest of the entrees. So some people would have their meal half-way done while others would just be receiving their entrees. I work for a caterer, and I know this is the incorrect way to serve an event. The food was not as good as when we tried everything on the taste testing day also.

    Also, we had a hard time finding our boxes that we had brought and the decor that we had for the ceremony. The bartenders were the only employees that were left at the end of the night and had no clue where anything was located. The bartenders made several mistakes on the bill. They also failed to subtract our deposit from the total bill so we were charged an extra $500. They did pay this back to us. Finally, my gift from husband, a custom-made Brewers jersey disappeared from the women's locker room. It "reappeared' 4 days later and we suspected one of the employees took it.
    The venue is a very beautiful site, though. It was a good value, and for booking a Friday wedding, we had a lot of things included with the package. The bar is large, and we were allowed to stay there until 2 AM. They also provided us two golf carts to use to take pictures in different areas of the property. They are catered by Sazs which usually is a great catering company.

    Everything was great until a few days before. The food was not what we had picked out. It was good, but not what we were expecting. This probably could have been avoided if they answered my food questions earlier than 2 days before, when I had been asking for weeks. (Then there was a huge fight over what we had ordered vs. what we were paying for... not something a bride wants to deal with 2 days before). So, our New York strip was actually roast beef.

    When we got the bar bill, the prices were significantly higher than what we had discussed. But, we had nothing in writing to dispute it. We never received an itemized bill for anything.

    Here's the worst part though: They told us, go ahead and leave everything, don't worry about a thing, and come pick everything up Sunday morning. We did just that, thinking our things would be stored safely. We came back on Sunday to discover that most of our cards with monetary gifts had been stolen. The box was not tampered with and there was only a small opening, so someone had to have stood there and picked the cards out one by one, so clearly it did not happen during the reception. We thought, hey, you have security cameras! Just check those! Turns out, those are fake. I spoke with the owner of the course and he was very rude, telling me, I can't believe the person you put in charge of watching the card box didn't watch it. Really? Clearly I didn't think to have a designated person and you're just going to be a jerk right now? All they kept saying is that they aren't responsible for lost or stolen items and did nothing to help. And unfortunately, all I had was the coordinator's word against mine on whether or not we were told we could leave everything.

    Moral of the story: GET EVERYTHING IN WRITING. Seriously, every single thing.
