This venue and their staff is amazing. If we had to do it all over again, we would 1000% choose Dove Canyon. The outdoor AND indoor spaces are beautiful, the food is delicious, and everyone who works here is very nice with happy smiles on their faces, from the front desk staff to the servers. Especially through the COVID pandemic, they have been so flexible and accommodating, above and beyond what we could have ever imagined. You hear of horror stories about how wedding venues dealt with their clients during COVID, but this venue has been nothing short of awesome. Our main point of contact was Kim, but she works with her team which includes Griffin and Julie. Kim was always very prompt in her replies and thorough/detailed oriented in her planning and coordinating. She was so pleasant to work with, always happy to accommodate us with whatever our needs were in order to make our lives easier. We wanted to meet with the team a few times leading up to our wedding day and they scheduled us immediately either via zoom or in person. They took their time to walk us through everything so that we were all on the same page. The team was excellent in communicating; if one person was busy and couldn't reply another person on the team would address our concerns. Kim would also offer suggestions and advice that would make our ideas that much better executed. They provided all COVID safety measures possible to maximize safety including, but not limited to, taking down all doors and leaving them open to the outdoors, temperature checks, no common touch points, marking 6 ft distance on the floor for guests etc. In short, we are so grateful to have had Dove Canyon as our venue and Kim and her team as our coordinators to execute our perfect wedding day! We could not imagine getting married anywhere else and having anyone but Kim, Griffin, and Julie helping us. Thank you!

Where do I even start? We are so glad we went with Dove Canyon Golf Club to host our wedding & Reception. It is such a beautiful venue, inside and out! The staff at Dove Canyon Golf Club are very friendly, accommodating and professional. They actually care about your special day and try to make it the best it can possibly be. Especially during these times and all the restrictions present due to COVID-19. They worked with us on what seemed like continuously changing regulations. I would recommend DCGC to anyone who wants a beautiful venue, friendly staff that actually care about what they do and a venue that is more than accommodating during these COVID-19 times while keeping your guests as safe as possible.

My name is Eric and I own an entertainment company by the name of Extreme DJ Service. The Dove Canyon Country Club is a preferred venue that we have had the privilege of working at for many years. If you are looking for an elegant and beautiful space with amazing food along with professional service... look no further, the DVCC is the place. We highly recommend the venue and their staff.

I want to say a huge thank you to Dove Canyon Golf Club for their attentive staff and gorgeous venue we had for our wedding. Sarah Vaughn and Kimmy were so helpful, sweet and understanding during the entire process from signing our contract up to and during our wedding. Sarah Vaughn could tell instantly than I'm a perfectionist and I'm all about the little details through my endless emails with questions and requests. She was quick at responding and always had helpful advice which helped me plan my fiancé and I's wedding. Sarah usually only stays to help until after the ceremony but she ended up staying and helping coordinate the entire wedding because she could tell it was very planned out and the more help we could get the better. Kimmy was really helpful with getting the ceremony set up and taking care of other last minute details I wasn't able to do on my own. She was so sweet and patient with my husband and I during our photo and video shoot which ended up taking an extra 30 minutes more than we had planned for. The staff did a great job making tasty drinks and providing top service. The chef made the best prime rib, mahi mahi and other food selections we had chosen for our buffet. I highly recommend Sarah Vaughn and Dove Canyon Golf Club to everyone planning a wedding or large event. Special thanks to Sarah Vaughn for making our day so special and memorable, you are truly amazing!

My honest score for this venue would be 2.5 because to be truthful, overall this is beautiful venue, but the lack of service brought it down. I can tell everyone was blown away by the beauty of the venue. However, many of my friends complained about the service. Mainly that servers tried to clear plates that still had food on it and that cake was not served. We were told that the policy is cake is only served to those who are seated. We have never seen that at a wedding. I think it might be time for Dove Canyon to change it's policy because I saw one earlier review complaining about the same thing. When our bar tab was reached, no one told us. I had to go find the food manager. Overall, I would say you will not be disappointed with the look of the venue, but just make sure to set the expectations of what you want. It would probably be helpful to have your own personal coordinator because no one at the venue was looking out for us.

Our wedding at Dove Canyon was absolutely beautiful! The venue is truly stunning. The floor to ceiling glass windows overlooking the golf course and rolling hills was the perfect backdrop for our nuptials. Not only was the location perfect, the staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating. Sarah, the coordinator, took note of everything we wanted and worked to ensure our day was perfect. We liked Dove Canyon so much, we even had our rehearsal dinner in their newly remodeled wine room. We feel so lucky to have been able to be married at such a beautiful location and we would highly recommend it for anyone looking for an elegant wedding venue with great views!

Beautiful! My daughter was married at Dove Canyon Golf Club a few weeks ago. Not only is the venue beautiful and in a beautiful setting, the staff at Dove Canyon went above and beyond to make sure she had her dream wedding. Sarah and her staff were on every detail, listened to what she wanted and executed flawlessly. We are still receiving compliments on the food and how beautiful the venue is. I have to give al the credit to Sarah and her team for making my daughter's dream come true!

Sarah was amazing to work with! Very friendly, accommodating, easy to work with, and dependable. She always went out of her way to make sure we were well taken care of! The venue is beautiful, warm, welcoming, and charming, and everything for our reception turned out better than we could have imagined! Thank you, Sarah and DCGC Team, for a job well done!

This review won't do justice for how amazing Becky and Sarah were. From the beginning until the end, they were so good to me and my now husband. The venue was beautiful, the food was delicious and the staff were so friendly and polite to our guests. Becky and Sarah worked with my budget to ensure we could have the wedding we had always envisioned. I really hope any future brides will make an effort to at least check this venue out before choosing another place. You won't regret it. Again, thank you Becky and Sarah for everything. Our wedding was everything we wanted and more!

Dove Canyon Country Club was definitely amazing when it came to our wedding day! I definitely had an idea of what I wanted the day to look like and they were more than accommodating when it came to making that happen. I had an amazing experience with them and wish we could relive it all again!

There is a date newly opened at Dove Canyon for a perfect Summer Saturday, September 10, 2016! We had a family conflict and needed to postpone our wedding due to health reasons. We want to assure this beautiful day doesn't go to waste in this prime country club. Becky, their wedding coordinator will be able to assist you with planning and scheduling details to make this quick wedding turn around as perfect as you ever dreamed it to be!

This is THE place to have your wedding and reception! Beyond how beautiful and lush the scenery is, the venue is gorgeous and everything from the food, service and attention to detail was first rate! Becky , Sarah, Jenna and the team at Dove Canyon ensured a perfect wedding for us. Everything from the food tasting, rehearsal, and how organized and professional they are enabled us to just relax and enjoy every moment of our wedding experience. When we met with Becky to hear about the club packages, we just knew this was the right place for us. She is so kind and accommodating, and answered every question we had with , " We can do that!" Our wedding was so special and the staff were there for us at every turn without being intrusive. I think I had champagne in my hand at all times! They just did not miss a thing. We received so many compliments from our guests on how much they enjoyed the venue, and especially the food! The prime rib and chicken were stand outs. Appetizers like bacon-wrapped scallops and crab cakes were enjoyed while our guests enjoyed the cocktails and wine. Becky and Sarah also did an amazing job setting up the venue with our amazing Florist Berta Downing. We are truly grateful for the wonderful service and memorable experience!

Jenna and the entire staff at Dove Canyon were the best every step of the way. Everything came off as planned. The venue is beautiful, fresh and versatile. Buffet food couldn't have gotten more rave reviews from our guests, and the service matched the quality of the entire event. Highly recommend!!

We held our wedding ceremony and reception at Dove Canyon Country Club. The venue is beautiful-we could see that from the beginning and that is why we chose it. However, the staff really made our event truly amazing. Becky was our coordinator. She has a calm energy that makes you feel so relaxed about every detail. She made every dream of ours a reality-any request I made, she made it happen. I would recommend this venue to anyone who wants a smooth wedding process and dependable people to work with. Thank you DCCC!

From beginning to sparkling end, our event at Dove Canyon Golf Club was absolutely perfect! From the moment we drove through the gates and met with Jenna Johnston, we knew that this was exactly the type of place we had been in search of for our daughter's wedding. Over the next few months, working with Jenna to make decisions and arrangements was delightful and we truly appreciate all that she did to ensure that the day was perfect in every way! The grounds, the ceremony site, the cocktail area and the reception room are breathtaking. The menu choices are extensive and our selections were greatly appreciated by our guests.....delicious! We highly recommend Dove Canyon Golf Club to all brides that are looking for a beautifully unique venue that will be the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable wedding day.

We recently made a wedding at Dove Canyon Golf Club. It was perfect in every way. The venue was gorgeous, the event planner very easy to work with. She was there to guide us and made the event flow right on time. The food was delicious. They paid attention to all our needs. All the guests rated the event A+.

Dove Canyon is an absolutely beautiful venue, and is well equipped to host the most elegant and downright FUN events. We had our ceremony outside on the covered terrace and our reception in the ballroom, and our guests couldn't stop talking about how great and beautiful the space was. Dove Canyon really has it all, gorgeous views, elegance for days, and a very helpful staff that will be there for you every step of the way, from planning to executing your vision for your wedding day. Both Becky and Jenna were super helpful throughout the entire process. Highly recommended!

My husband and I got married at Dove Canyon Country Club on Oct. 11, 2014. Having our wedding ceremony and reception there was a dream come true. Jenna is an absolute pleasure to work with and took all the stress away from the wedding day. The venue is gorgeous, and speaks for itself once you see it. Don't be surprised if a few deer cross by your path. Our day turned out to be 10 times better than we could have ever imagined it thanks to Dove Canyon Country Club and Jenna!!!

Jenna and Becky are amazing! They were extremely accommodating and helpful and very personable. The venue was gorgeous and everything went according to planned! I've already recommended them to someone.

5/28/2014

We found the venue picturesque and its on site management very helpful on the first visit. Compared to other outdoor venues , none could compare in terms of view , facility and flexibility. We had our event in February and being able to have an indoor or outdoor event was very useful. Food exceeded expectations and service on the night of the event was excellent!!

Choosing Dove Canyon for our wedding venue was the best wedding-decision that my husband and I made!!! The entire team made our wedding day absolutely perfect! Words can’t even begin to express our appreciation for all of their hard work. From the very beginning, Becky and her team were so accommodating, friendly, professional, and pleasant to work with and we are truly happy to have been able to spend our special day here. Everything went off without a hitch thanks to their thoughtful and meticulous planning. The team was gracious enough to put up most of the décor (anything the florist didn't do, pretty much), coordinated every detail, and allowed us to just REALX and ENJOY our day. I was able to have full trust in their ability and for that I am so grateful! We had an absolutely magical day and we thank Dove Canyon Country Club from the bottom of our hearts for everything they did! We are so grateful!

Let me start off by saying DCCC is GORGEOUS and you get a great deal with a lot of options! No wedding is perfect, but ours came pretty close. I'm giving an honest, thorough review and omitting names where necessary. Unfortunately, our original coordinator left for a new job a week before our wedding, so we felt a little abandoned and were concerned that the things we talked about would get forgotten or lost in the transfer of our contract/file with our new coordinator. My husband and the groomsmen reported that there were no beverages provided for them in the groom suite, as stated in our package/contract and mentioned to us by our original coordinator during the menu tasting. My husband told me that they went down to the clubhouse to buy some beer, and our new coordinator kind of scolded them telling them they couldn't bring in outside beverages. Of course they explained that they purchased it from downstairs, and that they only purchased it because they were not given what they were originally supposed to get in the groom suite. She understood after it was explained to her, but still should not have been presumptuous and rude! We were also told by our original coordinator that our decorations would be set up by the staff--instead, my husband, our groomsmen, and some family members ended up doing all of it. I heard some other complaints from family members and my wedding party that they did not enjoy working with our coordinator, as she didn't seem very nice, was superficial, and curt. She was superficial with me definitely, I could tell, but she was never outright rude to me like she was with some of my wedding party and family (she was also rude to my mom on the phone several months back when she had called about a question regarding linens). We were given 30 minutes for our ceremony and 1 hour for cocktail reception. The ceremony started late (not sure why, I was ready to go!), pushing back the cocktail reception, which actually really upset me because we had to rush through our pictures with our wedding party and subsequently at the waterfall. Our coordinator was only able to give us an extra 10 minutes, even though they started late, not us. I really wished that was timed better on DCCC's end. On a happier note, Kimmy, my bridal attendant, was AWESOME! She was there from start to finish, and was very supportive :). I felt like she really cared about us. She even let us spend a couple extra minutes taking photos at the waterfall, which I greatly appreciate, and because of her I give DCCC some extra professionalism points.

My husband and I looked at one venue and one venue only for our wedding, that was Dove Canyon Country Club. We instantly fell in love with the country elegance feel of the venue and with Becky. Every time we met with Becky she was sweet and never pushed us on anything. The venue it self is absolutely gorgeous. The fire places add such a romantic touch and having the cake in the sunken room was a show stopper. The food was delicious. I am still getting compliments on how smooth the buffet was and how the food was some of the best wedding food our guests have had. The one who made our dream wedding run smoothly was Becky. She is such an amazing person and does her job well. She kept me informed at all times and responded to emails quickly. Her assistant the day of the wedding was equally sweet and supportive through out the reception. My father requested an ice sculpture filled with shrimp and with Becky's help she made it happen. The day of the wedding Becky even saved some shrimp from the ice sculptor to make sure my father got some. Becky set up the reception exactly how I envisioned it. I dropped all items (which was a lot) to Becky a couple of days before the wedding. Becky was flexible with all requests we had. She set up two extra tables for us in the sunken room for the candy buffet and the in memory table. Words cannot express how at ease Becky made me feel. I knew showing up to our reception at Dove Canyon everything would be perfect and it was. The pictures from our wedding day are absolutely gorgeous in front of their water fall. During the reception Becky and her assistant grabbed two big plates of food for my husband and I and delivered it to the sweetheart table. This gave us an opportunity to eat before thanking everyone. Our grand exit included sparklers. Dove Canyon had it down to a tee with getting everyone lined up and all sparklers lit. The grand exit was the perfect ending to our perfect wedding. I am so blessed to have met Becky. You can see the dedication she has to making your day everything and more you have dreamed of. Any type of wedding you are having Dove Canyon will make it happen. I will never forget how perfect our wedding was and we have Becky to thank for that!

10/07/2013

We have only good things to say about Becky, and all of the staff at Dove Canyon Country Club. They made our wedding day be as stress free as possible. We did not have to worry about any details regarding setup. They coordinated with our DJ to make sure everything stayed on track. We had an amazing experience and we recommend Dove Canyon to any couple looking for a beautiful place to have their wedding. Great place, great food, great drinks, and great people!!!!!!

Dove Canyon Country Club happened to be the first place we looked at for our wedding, and the venue we chose for our special day! The moment we walked into the Country Club, we felt so welcomed by the entire staff. Both Becky and Jenn are fabulous but Jenn was the one who we ended up working with for our wedding. During the stress of planning the wedding, it was always nice to call over to Jenn and have her friendly voice assure me of whatever detail I had a question about. Cut to the day of our wedding... wow, the day went by so fast! Everything went perfectly and at the end of the night, both my husband and I didn't want Jenn to leave when she came over to say her goodbyes and congratulate us one more time. She helped make our day everything we imagined and are so blessed to have been able to have been married on the Dove Canyon Country Club property (which is beautiful). Another awesome person who works at Dove Canyon: Bruce the bartender!!! He is amazing! The greatest bartender for any bride and groom on their big day! If you are looking for a location in Southern California, please consider Dove Canyon Country Club. With all the stresses that can arise, Dove Canyon's staff was always ten steps ahead of me in the planning process. My husband and I love them and thank them so very, very much!! -Brittany and Joshua Wells

Jennifer Wolf was our coordinator at Dove Canyon Country Club and could not have been more professional. Jenn provided us a list of contacts for wedding cakes, organized a menu tasting to finalize our menu selections, and walked us through all of the arrangements for the wedding. On the day of the wedding, the facility could not have been more stately and beautiful, and the staff was extremely professional with the utmost attention to details. I highly recommend the facility and staff for an outstanding wedding and/or reception venue. Our reception was for a group of 150 people.

Becky Halbreich was the lady who made this day the Wedding that all will remember as the best Wedding/Reception they have ever been to! Becky sets the bar very high and consistently excelled in all she did for us. As Mother of the Bride she wasn't just warm and friendly with me, but treated all of us as though we were family. I simply could not imagine this Wedding taking place without Becky's expertise and help. The Dove Canyon Country Club is an ideal venue for any Wedding or Event, it is ideally situated in a world of it's own. In searching venues while many were beautiful spots, none possessed the unforgettable views that Dove Canyon has. Imagine being inside a terrarium looking out, and multiply that by a hundred to get the full effect of the moment. because that is how you will feel while you are there. This venue has convenient access and plenty of parking, in fact Becky realized that we would have guests with disabilities attend and without asking she mentioned that guests could be picked up via golf cart if necessary right from their car. Everyone gave us impeccable service and helped us with every little detail. When it came time to recommending idea's or other vendors, Becky simply didn't give us a name of someone to call because that person was on their list. Her advice, referrals, and guidance were invaluable to matching us up with the perfect florist, photographer, etc, that were right for us. Everything was unbelievable, our friends and family are still raving about both the ceremony and reception! Thank you so much Becky for helping make my daughters wedding day one she will never forget!

10/05/2013

Honestly, my now husband and I couldn't have imagined a more magical day and Dove Canyon Country Club made that happen! Jenn helped us throughout the whole process and made what could be a stressful time easy, fun and relaxed. From the food tastings, to the friendly and fabulous staff, the beautiful grounds and the attention to detail...Dove Canyon is the best place to get married. I recommend it to everyone! Also, they have an excellent vendor list which we chose our photographer, officiant, cake and so many more vendors from and the compliments from our guest wouldn't stop coming! We looked at doing our wedding at hotels such as The Ritz Carlton in Dana Point, The Montage and St. Regis but ultimately we chose Dove Canyon because we were able to get everything we wanted with out having to compromise. Dove Canyon itself is private and only for our guests which is something they don't offer at the big hotels which is a nice feature to have because you don't have to share your day with looky-loo's. Also, they only do one wedding a day so it really is your day and you don't have to share it with any other brides. Overall, Dove Canyon did a superb job and Jenn went above and beyond what I ever imagined and helped the whole planning process and our wedding day go perfectly. She is a true professional. When thinking of wedding venues, put this one at the top of your list, you won't be disappointed!

First of all Jennifer who was the event coordinator there was an absolute doll and made everything feel so special. She was such a joy to work with and makes even the most stressed out bride feel calm! The location itself is gorgeous and what appealed to me the most there is on the day of your wedding you are allowed to be at the venue ALL DAY, you can show up as early as you want to begin the process of setting up and getting ready, this is rare in comparison to a lot of other venues who are very strict on what time you can show up. The food was great, the reception location is huge and the staff is incredibly organized. Could not rave about this place enough.

Becky from Dove Canyon Country Club did an amazing job throughout our wedding planning process! We are beyond pleased with how things went, especially the day of our wedding! My husband and I highly recommend Dove Canyon as your venue for your wedding and Becky as your coordinator.

My now husband and I were lucky to use Dove Canyon Country Club as our location. Our wedding coordinator, Becky,did a fantastic job taking care of us from beginning till end. We didn't have any problems, the food was great, the location was nicely decorated and we had the most relaxed wedding! We appreciated the professionalism of the staff and the beautiful location!

I worked with both Becky and Jennifer for my wedding and they made sure that everything was flawless. Vendors were in and out on time and everything was set up and ready to go! Our wedding ran just about on time though they did brief us on what happens if things are running late or if they see that our guests are running late. They are very organized and everything went without a hitch. Definitely a BEAUTIFUL site for a wedding and everyone thoroughly enjoyed looking around the venue.

I was sold on Dove Canyon based off of my first phone call with Becky Halbreich. After hours and hours of searching for the perfect place for my dream wedding I somehow came across the name Dove Canyon Country Club. I looked up their website and saw a few pictures that showed that the place seemed pretty nice, so I called to get more information. That first phone call with Becky was so refreshing! It was the first time that I spoke to someone who didn't remind me of how much every little thing would be and what I could and could not do. I also liked that I had so many choices with their menu and could make it work with my budget. The place is gorgeous! It has a Frank Lloyd Wright feel to it with floor to ceiling glass windows and glowing fireplaces. It was beautiful, open, airy, and welcoming -everything I wanted for my guests. The main room looks over a lovely pond that flows down into a waterfall, which is very picturesque for your formal pictures. There are also fantastic views of the canyon and golf course. Becky was knowledgeable, informative, creative, open, and easy to work with. She really worked with me to make my wedding exactly how I wanted it to be. She was quick and polite with what could and could not be done and always had prices/information on hand for different options. The staff was awesome to work with and every experience was done professionally and in a pleasant way without feeling rushed or like just another bride. The only bad thing is that it was hard to decide the menu, since all of the food choices were delicious. When it came to my wedding day everything was perfect and the few things that did come up (out of Dove Canyon's control) were taken care of swiftly and before I knew or could be concerned about it. I had the most magical wedding day (both ceremony and reception) that was unique to everything little thing that I wanted, which wouldn't have been possible without Becky or her fabulous staff at Dove Canyon Country Club.

7/29/2013

I really liked the way Jennifer found out ways to help us out with our reception. She was always helping us with all the details. The place is beautiful and elegant. The only thing I did not like is that we didn't know that we had to specified every single name for the seating and tables, and we wrote sown family names; Jennifer was not happy about it. We did not have time to set everything perfectly because there was an accident that day on the freeway and that delayed us. I couldn't take pictures at the club because Jennifer would not push the time not even a minute.

Dove Canyon is absolutely stunning! From the beautiful scenery, to the incredibly friendly staff, to the outstanding selection of food - Dove Canyon is the perfect place to get married! I wouldn't trade or change anything about our day for anything! It was one of the best days of my life and Becky helped the day run so smoothly that I wasn't worried about anything! LOVE this place!

overall it was a good expiereince. they set everything up. Unfortunately after the wedding my grandparents shared with me that they were never served any cake and the wait staff had thrown away their photo booth picks. Made me kind of sad since everythign else went well.

We held our ceremony indoors in their sunken lounge area. It was so beautiful to have the big glass windows behind us overlooking the canyon. The food was absolutely fantastic, but it was a big pricey. However, the service was great and the coordinators were always there to help me with everything. I would definitely suggest working with them again and, for anyone looking for an indoor site, it was beautiful and had the feeling of an outdoor location without the difficulties.

My husband and I got married on September 1st and had our reception at Dove Canyon Country Club. Becky and the staff were absolutely wonderful to work with. It's been almost a month since we got married and people are still talking about how gorgeous and elegant our venue was. Everything was perfect! We couldn't have asked for anything more. They're the BEST!

I visited 20+ venues throughout Orange County during the ceremony/reception venue selection process. My husband and I fell in love with Dove Canyon and our intuition served us well, as we LOVED working with Dove Canyon throughout the planning process. Becky - the Director of Events - was extremely knowledgeable, responsive and accommodating. The outside terrace was a beautiful location for our ceremony. The lush backdrop of the canyon was amazing and the weather was perfect. The interior reception location was perfect too. Plus, the food - and food service - was fantastic. Several friends and family said my wedding was one of the best weddings they have ever attended. I am very grateful for Dove Canyon for their support throughout the process. I definitely recommend Dove Canyon to anyone looking to wed in OC! Dove Canyon was wonderful in every way.

We are so happy that we decided to get married at Dove Canyon Country Club! Everything was perfect. The staff was so helpful and amazing (especially Jennifer and Becky) throughout the whole process. They were so organized and detailed, which made the planning really easy. The venue itself is gorgeous. We got married outside on the terrace and the view was amazing. There are so many great spots for photos, including in front of a beautiful waterfall. The ballroom has a wonderful view as well, with floor to ceiling windows along the back wall. The food was delicious, the vendors that they recommended were all fantastic and we were just thrilled all around with how great everything turned out. We got such great feedback from our guests as well. I would highly recommend this location to anyone. It was the perfect place for our special day!

I could not have asked for a better place to host a reception! The Dove Canyon staff was on top of their game, they took care of every little problem. The price for the reception was unbelievable, we maxed the country club out capacity wise, had a buffet with AMAZING FOOD (everyone raved about it), wine with dinner and a champagne toast for 65$ a head. Oh and I forgot to mention the wedding cake is included (they have 3 different bakeries to choose from)!! We (the bride and groom) even ran a little late due to pictures and the staff at the country club accommodated us by pushing back the dinner chimes. I would definitely recommend they venue to anyone who is interested in an amazing venue, with great food, and a rocking view. I also did not have a wedding planner because they do such a thorough job you really do not need one.

i loved dove canyon. first, it is an absolutely exquisite venue-an indoor/outdoor dream come true. the views of the canyon are mind-blowing and excellent for photos. the indoor dining hall has a dance floor and all glass windows on the sides to show off the view. the staff at dove canyon were amazing. they worked with all my vendors, they are true professionals, and they took superb care of me and my groom on the day of our wedding.

My fiancee and I chose Dove Canyon Country Club because we just fell in love with the venue. Floor to ceiling windows overlooking the golf course and waterfalls. Just beautiful. Lorraine was great in organizing our wedding. She would get back to me promptly if I emailed her with questions and concerns. She was so accommodating and helpful. The staff the day of the wedding was wonderful. Anything we needed they were right there to help and make things run smoothly. They truly made our day special. :)

This was a beautiful venue. Dark wood, green grass, trees, waterfalls... The only reason(s) this venue did not receive 5 stars is because I felt I could have been told a few more things up front and sooner without having to ask. We had a package deal that included the cake, it was not until I asked that I was told we had to go to the actual bakery ourselves to order the cake. Also the cake-cutting fee was not included in the package so that was an addit. $3/slice/person. Also was not told about the "final upcharge" for a salmon meal until 3 weeks before the wedding, (this was an extra $5/per salmon plate). Also was not told until I had finished and submitted my seating chart that they told me they could not fit as many tables as I had planned out, so I had to redo my entire seating chart since they did not tell me a maximum table count ever. So, just little things like that that took 1 star away. PROS: Day of was great, day of coordinator was extremely sincere and sweet. Bridal room was spacious and opened directly to a patio outside, (a plus for smokers!). Groom and groomsmen had their own room to get ready in. Food was really good, got compliments on it from our guests. Staff set up our wedding favors, programs & bubbles, toasting champagne flutes, gift table, cake table, guest book table with escort cards, etc. ... Allowed us to take an engagement photo session. Overall it was great, I just felt I had one too many "surprises" during the last month of planning, but it turned out great and I am satisfied with the experience. I would recommend this venue just make sure to ask LOTS of questions especially regarding pricing to make sure you budget properly. Thank you to Dove Canyon and their staff for a wonderful day.

We had our wedding reception at Dove Canyon Country Club and I would definitely recommend the venue to others. The club is beautiful and well-maintained. The staff is incredible. Becky and Lorraine were so accommodating and were very patient, despite all of my questions and emails. The food is excellent, which several of my guests mentioned as well. Overall, a wonderful venue and a perfect wedding reception!

Location: ceremony was held at the terrace where a pond lies next to it. A spectacular view of the surrounding mountain serves as the backdrop of the special event. The lobby boasts of high ceiling framed with dark wooden beams - perfect for a grand entrance. Floor to ceiling windows bring the exterior views into the reception area. There is a sunken lounge which is perfect for guests to hang out and interact during cocktail hour. Service: when we booked the venue, not all the details of what services were included in the price were discussed. We were pleasantly surprised to find out that a "concierge" is present on my wedding day to assist during preparation and photo shoot. There is a day-of coordinator who facilitated the rehearsal. Food: there is a wide selection of entrees - chicken, sea bass, salmon, ribeye, flat iron steak, filet mignon. The ribeye was showered with numerous praises from our guests. Meatballs for cocktail hour were also well-received. Wedding cake comes standard with all packages (3 bakery choices). Champagne and hors deouvres are served to the wedding party after the ceremony. Price: this location is a great middle ground for couples searching for a breathtaking venue and excellent food. Packages are customizable to fit every budget.

We had our wedding at Dove Canyon Country Club and we couldn't be happier. We chose to have our ceremony outside and it was private with an amazing view. Becky provided outstanding service and the food was delicious. If you want a beautiful wedding, good food, and great service, Dove Canyon is the place!

Dove Canyon, specifically Lorraine, Becky and Sarah, were the most kind, fun, accommodating and professional staff we could wish for. Not to mention the fact that the club is in pristine condition, the food is delicious and the scenery produces the perfect backdrop for pictures and experience. There is not one negative thing I could say about Dove Canyon Country Club and how our wedding turned out.
