Marbella Country Club

We are so happy we chose Marbella Country Club as our wedding venue. Kaile did an amazing job with all of our questions throughout the process. We had a lot of obstacles the week leading up to the wedding with the weather, but Kaile and Maggie helped so much and made it so much less stressful. The venue was beautiful and our guests loved every minute of it. I would highly recommend Marbella to anyone planning their wedding!

The Marbella team truly went above and beyond!! I have nothing but the best things to say about Kaile and team. They are so incredibly sweet, helpful and knowledgeable. They were SO quick to get back to me and so helpful for my (many) questions. The day was perfect and the venue was stunning. The food was amazing and the staff were wonderful. I can’t speak more highly of the team at Marbella. I’m so thankful and recommend them to anyone!!

From the moment we entered the gates of the Marbella Country Club to for our site tour we knew Marbella was a special place and by the time we walked up the staircase to the main terrace we knew Marbella was the perfect venue for our dream wedding. It was the most beautiful setting and had everything we wanted and more. We had ceremony on the lawn, cocktail hour on the terrace, and dinner on the main terrace under twinkling lights and chandeliers. We loved that there were so many spaces available to use for our wedding. We also utilized the bridal suite to get ready in and had lunch catered by the venue. The wedding packages were priced very reasonably and we liked that they offered different add-ons. We did add-on a champagne greeting for guest arrival and late night snacks, which were a hit with our guests. We continue to receive compliments on our wedding, how beautiful the venue was, how tasty the food was, and how wonderful the guest experience was. We worked with Kaile throughout the entire wedding planning process. Kaile is professional, detailed oriented, and so kind. She always answered our questions promptly. She handled our last minute requests with ease. She was also there for our rehearsal and the day of our wedding. She went above and beyond to make our dream wedding a reality.

We had our dream wedding at Marbella Country Club earlier in August. From start to finish, this venue went above and beyond for us and our day was truly a reflection of their preparedness and organization. This place knows weddings! We worked with Kaile for the majority of our wedding preparations. Kaile was extremely knowledgeable when it came to the venue and their available packages, timeline creation, and general wedding planning. She hosted our initial walk-through, our meal tasting, and final walk-through. Each visit was helpful and clear, and Kaile calmed all my fears and nerves with her attention to detail and desire to see our vision to fruition. She began training Maggie while we were in the planning phase, and it was she who assisted on the day of our wedding. Maggie was also amazing! My favorite memory with her was being greeted with our signature mocktails after exiting the aisle with my newly-minted husband. Beyond the helpful staff at this venue, it is completely gorgeous and a lovely backdrop for a traditional, classic wedding. The packages are all-inclusive, making planning concise and simple. The food was incredible; many wedding guests raved about the food to me weeks after the wedding. All in all, Marbella Country Club exceeded our expectations! Thank you Kaile, Maggie, and Marbella team for an outstanding experience and for helping make our dream wedding possible!

THE most fun, professional, joyful, efficient, and amazing experience!! Food top notch, service above and beyond, every one of my visions met with wonderful ideas, and you can just feel the love. Cannot put into words or recommend more highly!!!!! Kaile is the dream team!!!

Where to start with this amazing staff and this amazing venue!! To the food, the staff, the coordinator, the beautiful venue, it was everything my husband and I could have dreamed of! We got married 2 months ago and we still get compliments about how amazing our venue was! Kaile was an absolute gem to work with, to the first venue tour, to signing our contract, to scheduling our menu tasting to last minute details the week before the wedding, she was always an amazing communicator on what we still needed to do and what the next steps where. She was always so kind when I couldn’t make up my mind or changed my mind, helpful when I needed a little direction and made it such an easy process! I don’t even know how to thank her enough for such an amazing day! Thank you again to Kaile and Marbella staff for everything you did! Best, Shannon and Brandon Gray

We recently had the pleasure of hosting our wedding ceremony and reception at Marbella Country Club, and it was a dream come true. From the beginning when we first got our tour to the day after the wedding, Kaile made the entire experience so easy. Her professionalism and expertise made the process so simple and helped bring our vision to life. She patiently answered all of our questions throughout the planning process and helped us pivot and make adjustments for our big day. The venue itelf is absolutely stunning and we received so many compliments on the views, staff, food, and drinks. Thank you again the entire Marbella Country Club team for being a part of our special day.

Marbella County Club is a beautiful place to have your wedding. Kaile and Maggie were so kind and easy to talk to when planning our wedding. They were very prompt with communication. The views of this location itself are amazing. There are many great photo opportunities. The staff is really friendly, and they made sure my husband and I were well fed during our reception. They even kept our food warm for us while we left for sunset photos! On top of all that, the food was outstanding. We highly recommend this venue!

We got married here 2 weeks ago and we are still getting non-stop compliments on how amazing this venue is!! From the gorgeous property, the amazing staff, and the delicious food...we are SO happy we picked this beautiful gem in San Juan Capistrano! We worked with Kaile Watters who is the Event Sales Director! Not only is she so organized, she is so patient and so sweet! She spent so much time making sure we had every detail down. Kaile and the entire staff at Marbella Country Club, helped make our wedding a dream come true! We can't thank them enough!!

Where do I even begin?! This venue is breathtaking, spectacular food and service. Our coordinator, Kaile, was such a pleasure to work with. She is so friendly, accommodating, very responsive, and made our wedding planning so effortless. My guests raved about the service at the reception and how great the food was! The venue is a perfect place to take your post ceremony photos. I really couldn’t have picked a more perfect venue. Venue is so clean and immaculate. The reception faces a gorgeous view of the golf course and overall just breathtaking. I immediately booked this venue on our first visit. So look no further!

First off, I cannot express how thankful I am to have had my dream wedding at Marbella. Not only was the Venue breathtaking, but Kaile (Event Coordinator) and her team was an absolute BLESSING!!! They were understanding with my European culture and accepted the ethnic traditions we have, Kaile was extremely helpful and responsive, not only did she calm my pre wedding jitters, she was one of the biggest blessings I had while planning my wedding. I would recommend Marbella Country Club to any bride wanting their wedding in Southern California!!

okay...this review is a long time overdue! I am a wedding planner and had the absolute pleasure working with Kaile and her team. As a wedding vendor, you always want to work with professional vendors who are team players and Marbella Country Club and their staff were just that! They were so accommodating from our first correspondence all the way to the end of the event. Our couples wedding couldn't have ran any smoother than it did and it was thanks to the ease and professionalism of the venue and staff. Thank you Marbella Country Club! Would be an absolute dream to work with you all again!

Kaile and the entire Marbella team were amazing to work with! They were responsive, professional, and very accommodating. Kaile was so receptive and easy to work with. She put up with my endless questions and changes from table seating to linen colors. Also the food here is outstanding. My guests were raving about it for weeks after. The scenic backdrop of the golf course paired with Marbella's excellent service and professionalism truly made our wedding one of a kind. If you are looking for a beautiful, elegant, and timeless venue, look no further. Marbella has everything for everyone, and it is gorgeous. I can't thank Kaile and everyone at Marbella enough for helping us finally celebrate our long awaited wedding!

Kaile at Marbella was such a great wedding coordinator. By the end of the planning process I am happy to call her a friend. She was so patient with us and was more than happy to answer all of our questions. Our vision was executed perfectly. We had a 180 person indoor/ outdoor wedding and it was absolutely perfect. I highly recommend adding chandeliers to your tent outside and opting in for valet. We also had the BEST food and went with the filet and Seabass. Our banquet coordinator made our night by bringing us appetizers during cocktail hour in the bridal suite so we could soak in the moment —-just us two.

I worked with Kaile and her team for my clients' wedding this June. I was their wedding planner and day of coordinator, and working with the Marbella was a breeze. They were on top of everything leading up to the wedding and on the wedding day. Their catering team was timely yet flexible throughout the event. They are professional, excel in communication, and are easy to work with. This venue is also absolutely gorgeous! I highly recommend the Marbella to any newlyweds looking for the perfect venue.

We chose Marbella because of the beautiful architecture, and how delicious the food was! Not to mention, their packages make it so seamless and straightforward...no headaches of each line item. We got countless compliments on the venue and food, and our Sweet Traders cake (also included in package) was so delicious! Kaile and her team were amazing to work with throughout the whole planning process, and I honestly cannot recommend this venue enough. If you are looking for value, Marbella is the one!

We had such a wonderful experience with our reception at Marbella Country Club! They were very accommodating and flexible in the planning process. They allowed us to customize a package that worked for us and our budget. The food was amazing, and all our guests were impressed. The golf course backdrop was stunning for our dinner on the terrace. Their coordinator, Kaile, was the best! She was super responsive, patient, and a joy to work with. We would recommend Marbella in a heartbeat :)

Everting was perfect. Kaile was so helpful and informative. We could not have asked for a better venue. Everyone commented on how pretty and what a great spot it was. Add great service and food and you have a great wedding.

Kaile, Jaymi and the rest of the Marbella Country Club staff did such a wonderful job with our wedding! We could not have asked for anything better. From the beginning, Kaile did a great job at reducing the stress that comes with wedding planning by making us feel comfortable during each visit. We really appreciated her quick and professional responses to our questions throughout the process. Our guests had nothing but great things to say about the venue and staff. It was truly a night to remember thanks to the everyone at Marbella.

We absolutely LOVED having our wedding at Marbella! The staff was so friendly and professional. Kaile is the sales director for all the weddings and she is AMAZING. So sweet, knowledgeable and was one of the main reasons why we chose Marbella because we could tell she truly cared about us. The actual venue is gorgeous and so well kept. We got SO many compliments on the food and drinks, which were part of our package at Marbella. You can also use their preferred vendors, which we did, and they are top notch. We had pretty bad weather conditions pop up three days before our wedding, and Kaile and the entire Marbella team were SO helpful and worked overtime to help us adjust our plans (moving our whole wedding inside), pulled in other vendors to help us and changed our whole wedding plan with a smile on thier face. It took all of the stress off of us, which is what Kaile and her team accomplished throughout the whole process - took headaches off our plate and put it on theirs. My husband and I had the ablsute BEST day, and a huge part of that was Marbella and thier amazing team. Best wedding venue ever!! We would (and will) highly recommend Marbella and Kaile to anybody looking into venues for their wedding, they are simply the gold-standard.

After lots of searching throughout Orange County, LA, San Diego, and Palm Springs, we decided to move forward with Marbella in San Juan Capistrano and we were not disappointed. We had a lot of obstacles because of Covid but it all turned out better than expected. Kaile was amazing and helped guide us through all of the decision making, so many decisions! She was so patient and kind with both of us really making the whole process not so overwhelming even though planning a wedding is extremely stressful. It was very exciting to get the call that we were going to be able to have our wedding, finally! The staff are beyond friendly and provided excellent fun service. The food was so darn yummy and the open bar service was epic. The views of the golf course are stunning and created a perfect backdrop for the whole day. You really do not need a lot of décor because of how beautiful everything is. It was an amazing venue for our perfect day! Thanks so much for everything Marbella.

Marbella Country Club was the perfect venue for our daughter's wedding reception. It was truly beautiful. The backdrop of the golf course was stunning. The grounds were the perfect place for cocktail hour, and the terrace was ideal for dinner and dancing. The staff made the whole process very easy. Kaile Watters was exceptional. She was incredibly supportive when we had to move the date during the pandemic, and then was amazing throughout the entire planning process. There were so many details and she helped pull them all together beautifully. On the day of the reception, Travis, the food and beverage manager, was also amazing. He went above and beyond to make the entire event perfect. I would highly recommend this venue for any large event.

Marbella was the perfect option for our wedding. The venue is beautiful, the staff is amazing and the food is delicious. I couldn't have asked for a more passionate and delightful group of people to work with. The wife, myself, our guests and our vendors all commented on how perfect Marbella was. It was the perfect start to the rest of our lives together. I highly recommend MCC to anyone searching for a wedding venue.

We recently got married at Marbella and it was seriously the most amazing place to get married. From the get-go the planning process was made SO easy with their amazing team. Kaile was so incredibly responsive, flexible and helpful with the planning process. The food was INCREDIBLE. Not your typical mass produced wedding food--we got countless compliments! The bar service was also amazing and the beverage director actually met with us in person to perfect our signature cocktails!! I truly can not imagine a more perfect venue, and honestly I think it is the most incredible value out there. I searched many places and Marbella absolutely has the best value in addition to a beautiful location! I 100% recommend Marbella!

This wedding venue was perfect for our wedding. The country club has beautiful architecture and beautiful grounds. San Juan Capistrano has perfect weather all year and our July 3rd wedding was no exception. The food and drinks were fantastic. Everything we wanted was available through Marbella. Event set up was seamless, everything happened without me needing to say or do anything! Working with Kaile from Marbella was so nice. We had a great tasting and then a great final details meeting. Our overall experience was so phenomenal we will cherish this day forever! This was a very elegant venue and I’m so happy we got married here!

Marbella was the PERFECT venue for our wedding. Kaile was very professional and on top of things. You can tell she is a seasoned Event Manager. She was very helpful in explaining what to expect and maintained contact with me throughout the process. We were married in May 2021, so leading up to our wedding date, we had fears Marbella would not be open in time due to COVID. Kaile advocated for us and we were able to keep Marbella as our venue. The ceremony lawn at Marbella is unparalleled and the flow from ceremony, to cocktail hour, to reception is flawless. We had our reception on the Catalina terrace with bistro lighting and chandeliers and it was stunning. Our wedding was a true fairy tale. Several of our guests commented on what a gorgeous venue Marbella is and their food is delicious too! Another plus is Marbella has a fairly large Bridal Suite, so you can have all of your bridesmaids, Mama's, and vendors (such as make-up artists) in there comfortably. The Groom's staging area is upstairs and the Bridal Suite is downstairs, so there's no chance the groom can accidentally see you before the wedding, which was important to me. Although a small thing, something else I loved about Marbella is they recently renovated their Women's bathrooms and they are GORGEOUS! The entrance to Marbella is very grand with a gate and meticulous landscape providing an elegant experience for the guests from the moment they arrive all the way through the end of the reception. Marbella played a key role in providing my now husband and I the wedding of our dreams. I would HIGHLY recommend Marbella!

Marbella Country Club caught our eye immediately during our wedding venue search - it is a Mediterranean-inspired property with beautiful architecture and gorgeous outdoor scenery. Pricing also looked very reasonable and we were excited to host our outdoor ceremony & reception on site, but unfortunately COVID-19 hit right after we booked the venue. Once staff returned from furlough, we received monthly updates from the parent company (Country Club Receptions) regarding postponement and cancellation policies. While we did have to wait until about September 2020 to get concrete updates that we could hold our ceremony only in November 2020, I did appreciate that they did their best to keep us up to date. We chose to proceed as we personally were comfortable with shrinking our guest count and forgoing our formal reception. I had the pleasure of working closely with Kaile on our ceremony details. Kaile was extremely responsive and answered all my questions. We appreciated that they prioritized safety of us & our guests throughout the planning process. The week of our ceremony, we found out it was going to be rainy & extremely windy on our wedding day. Kaile was instrumental in helping us pivot our ceremony to an indoor space. While it wasn't ideal to be indoors under current circumstances, we were grateful we had that option especially since it was quite windy/chilly outside. Ultimately, our guests appreciated that they were warm and covered as well. The weather also did let up just enough in the afternoon that we snuck out for some photos. The staff at Marbella was helpful day-of setting up our bridal lunch and ceremony space. Seating was socially distanced and guests were asked to wear masks. Although we had ceremony only, we were able to request some extra time on site so that we could do our first dance, parent dances and toasts with our guests present. We still received so many compliments from our guests about Marbella and they appreciated the property's beauty as much as we did. I wish we had more time to enjoy the venue for our wedding, but we were so happy that we were able to have our ceremony at all. I am confident that if we had to plan our reception, Kaile would have made the experience as easy and enjoyable as possible. If I had to do the process over again, I would still choose Marbella!

Jennifer and Kaile were fantastic to work with and executed the big day perfectly! They were always two steps ahead and made sure we were on top of things. The staff that worked the wedding was great. It was the most magical, chic and classy wedding; my vision came alive!

We are extremely satisfied with the exceptional work Marbella provided for the day of our wedding! The venue in itself offered an elegant and timeless atmosphere, something the wedding guests raved about days after. The staff was so flexible and willing to work with us, and made the planning phase seemless. Jennifer was always available to answer any questions my husband and I had, and was willing to work with us with any issue that arose. Kailee was also wonderful to work with; she was able to fine tune all of the details to create such a memorable wedding day for us! Candice with Engaged Events was our wedding planner who was absolutely phenomenal! She seemed to work so well with Jennifer and Kaile as well as all of our other vendors to make our wedding 100 percent stress free and absolutely perfect. I highly recommend Marbella and Engaged Events and am so thankful for both teams!

I'm a destination wedding photographer based in Orange County, Ca and I recently had the pleasure to host my photography at this venue. For the workshop, we had Marbella cater our lunch and it was DELICIOUS! The staff were very kind, friendly and professional. We had a wonderful time setting up our decor on the grand lawn and the terrace. It is a beautiful property, and we can't wait to shoot a wedding there in the future. If you are considering Marbella for your wedding day, we give it a million star rating. You won't be disappointed!

Marbella Country Club made my wedding the best event I ever could have imagined. The place is just so classy....and the food....was beyond good. The help they provided me was outstanding. There is just nothing they could have done to improve on. My wedding was hit by a rain storm and the grand out door wedding I had dreamed of seemed like it was being washed away. I was so upset. Marbella stepped in and turned the potentially wet mess into the most beautiful Intimate memorable wedding , In front of their beautiful fireplace...I never could have Imagined A more amazing wedding.

We had our ceremony & reception at Marbella. Our coordinator Kaile was wonderful to work with! Since we were both out of town, Kaile was very responsive to our emails and also flexible with helping us schedule on-site visits and a menu tasting. The big day went by smoothly, and everything was amazing! All my guests were raving about how gorgeous the venue was and how delicious the food was. Highly recommend!

Marbella was the perfect venue for us. From the time we entered the gates of the country club, we were surrounded by the beautiful scenery and felt like we had traveled far to this getaway, even though it was only a couple cities. The layout of the venue was great too, because guests were taken to different areas for each part of the wedding. Jennifer and Kaile really went above and beyond for us as well. From our first visit to the day of the wedding, they helped make our vision come to life and we couldn’t have asked for a better team.

My husband and I got married on November 3rd, 2018 at Marbella and everything about it was perfect. I would like to first point out that I was planning our wedding from Memphis while my husband lives in LA so there were some hurdles to cross in terms of planning but Marbella did make it seamless. Jennifer was our coordinator at Marbella and from day one she was extremely professional, excited and accommodating. We had requested 2 tastings (one with and without the parents), and 3 walkthroughs of which Jen needed to be planned the weekends I was in town and Jen made them happen with no hesitation. Since Marbella only takes on one wedding a weekend, all of the focus was on our wedding that weekend. Marbella allowed us to set up early, gave us the options to drop things off the night before, and pick things up the day after— which was exceptional considering how busy we were that weekend. Marbella has their preferred vendors, which we willingly used for all our rental supplies, food, cake, etc and we could clearly see why they were preferred. Our wedding was set throughout the entire reception space with our dinner being on the patio underneath a fabric tent and the dancing inside. When we arrived on our wedding day the place looked like a dream. All of our guests were amazed at the view and beauty of the venue, starting with the fountain at the entrance to the scenic golf course in the back. My husband and I wanted to have a wedding that focused more on quality than quantity and so we wanted the best of everything. It’s safe to say that we had no regrets on our choice of venue and food. As stated our dinner took place on the patio under a fabric tent with chandelier lights. This allowed for our guests to take in the sunset and appreciate the nice California weather. For dinner, we chose the duet of filet mignon and sea bass and it was cooked to perfection. The filet was cooked to a med-med rare of great quality and the sea bass was moist and flaky. Our guests were beyond satisfied with the meal and amazed at the quality of the cuts, preparation, and presentation. While Marbella doesn’t cater their own wedding cake, they do cover the costs of the cake to be made at one of their preferred bakeries which in my opinion is better since more customizations can be made. Later on in the evening, after much dancing, we had an In-n-Out trailer arrive and serve their signature burgers to our guests. This was a special treat as my whole family is from NY. Marbella allowed the truck to park in the back at the bottom of the stairs which created much anticipation as everyone— as full as they were— could not wait to get their hands on a juicy burger. We ended the night with a sparkler send off which looked beautiful in front of the fountain in the night sky. We really couldn’t have asked for a more perfect night to celebrate our love with our family and friends.

Jen and Kaile were the most IDEAL TEAM to work with when it came to planning our wedding! They were on top of everything and helped us stay calm throughout the planning process. They were genuinely excited for our wedding day and everything turned out PERFECT. The food, the drinks, the decor, the views; everything about this venue was a dream come true.

Marbella was a beautiful venue that had all the components my hubby and I were looking for! We wanted our venue to feel romantic, elegant, and personal. The 3 tiered fountain at the entrance, dramatic Mediterranean architecture, and the tall Cypress trees made it easy for us (and our photographer 😉) to fall in love with this location! The events coordinator, Kaile was so sweet and addressed any of my or my coordinator's questions or concerns in a timely manner. She worked with us every step of the way to accommodate what probably seemed like an endless amount of requests. Marbella offers a few wedding packages to choose from. I really loved that we were able to hire an outside caterer for our cultural specific cuisine, but were still able to choose from other services they offered (appetizers, champagne toasts, beverages and more). Our wedding cake was included! How amazing is that?! We made an appointment with their referent company, It's All About the Cake, sampled cakes and frostings galore, and designed our dream cake from top to bottom! We had so many of our guests compliment us on how beautiful the venue and service was. I cannot thank Kaile enough for all her help and flexibility over the 9 months of planning. With so many locations to choose from in beautiful southern California it can be difficult to find one that is willing, or even capable, of meeting all your wants and needs. Marbella Country Club went above and beyond to ensure our vision for our wedding day was everything we hoped for and more!

I just had my wedding (last weekend 6/23/18) at Marbella Country Club and after a quick honeymoon, I honestly could not wait to leave a review for the venue and staff. I booked the venue approximately one year ago after visiting their annual Wedding Show Weekend and was blown away by the views, employees, ambiance AND REASONABLE PRICING of Marbella. Jennifer Wolf was my initial contact and was there every single step of the way to answer my trillion questions, constant event order modifications, and numerous visits for me to get the best visual of my dream wedding to come true. I was very upfront and honest about my budget, expectations, plans, and even that I was planning my own wedding to save the cost of an event planner or coordinator and she was extremely accommodating through it all. I highly recommend!!! After many visits and email correspondence on prelim details, it was time for our food tasting! My now husband (weird ) and I were blown away by everything we tasted. Warm rolls and butter we're fresh and hot, appetizers we're very creative and a great size for small bites, salads we're crisp and fresh, the entrees were delicious and also a very large portion! I follow a lot of wedding planners on social media for inspiration and ideas and see the tastings they have at other venues that are so tiny! That is not Marbella--the meal prices are extremely reasonable and a great bang for your buck. We ended up selecting the beef skewer and ahi crisp for appetizers and got GREAT feedback. As I was a little busy day of, I only had a chance to try one beef skewer, but it was as delicious as I remember during our tasting. For entrees we had the short rib and roasted chicken - both a huge hit as well!! Once we were down to the final months before the big day, the correspondence transitioned from Jennifer to her Event Sales Manager Kaile - also a huge pleasure to work with! Kaile was very responsive, accommodating, and very sweet. She was very patient with me after changing my event order a few dozen more times, modifying guest count, adding this, deleting that, etc. I met with her a few times at Marbella for the final details meetings to include table layout, napkin choices, timing of events and was so incredibly happy with their organization and templates of how they plan out the night. I owe a ton of success to my wedding day to the great staff at Marbella. After a ton of correspondence the week of to get everything situated, I felt so happy and comfortable with everything that had come together. Planning your own wedding is not an easy task, but Jennifer and Kaile really helped make it seem that way. The Ceremony Rehearsal and Day of were absolutely perfect!!! Jennifer and Kaile were out all day helping us organize our ceremony line-up, timing, and ensuring lose ends were all going to come together for the wedding day AND IT DID! They lended a hand setting up favors, table place cards, and many other small details including bringing the Groomsmen their beers during photos so they didn't go warm! Who thinks of something like that! They went above and beyond their "jobs" helping with details that are usually handled by a planner or coordinator without hesitation! As the day went on, Kaile and Jennifer we're available at any time. When it came time for Kaile to head home, she came up to my husband and I to let us know Ben would be available for the rest of the night if we needed anything and he definitely was! Just like the other staff, Ben was great! He even came and found me on the dance floor to ask if we got to try some of our own wedding cake (we didn't..) so he packaged some of all three flavors off to the side so we had it to take home. So thoughtful!! I could go on and on about my experience with Marbella, but all in all I want to thank Jennifer, Kaile, Ben, and the entire Marbella staff for everything. I could tell they really enjoy their jobs and the passion comes through every day when you see or talk with them. Bartenders, service team, even the lady at the front desk who saw me every time I visited Marbella was always so pleasant and welcoming. My husband and I, and all of our family and friends truly enjoyed themselves and were blown with everything Marbella had to offer including great Staff, Views, Pricing, Organization... I am just so very thankful!! Trying to wrap this up so I don't keep going -- It was the best day of our lives and we want to thank Marbella Country Club for helping be a part of it! I would recommend this venue to ANYONE and everyone! Not only is pricing very reasonable (I received pricing from at least 15 other venues in OC and SD), but the views, food, and staff combined make it the perfect wedding venue. I highly recommend!!!

Marbella Club is absolutely amazing! We had our daughters wedding here and it was stunning!! Let me just say that we were more than pleased with our wedding planners, Jennifer and Kaile. They were extremely helpful and quick to respond to any of our questions and concerns. My husband and I visited the venue about a week before the big day and Kaile showed us around. She was more than happy to help us with our last minute changes! The food was fantastic and exactly the way we had requested!!! I can't thank Jennifer and Kaile enough for making our daughters special day a success!!!

First of all, the venue is breathtaking and will sell it self. Beautiful Spanish country club with new modern touches and furniture that bring it to life. The staff is priceless!!! Jennifer and Kaile (venue coordinators) are absolutely amazing! Both are very professional and quick to respond or get back to your questions. They were both so helpful and friendly throughout our process! My mom and I opted not to have a planner (because most of our vendors were through Marbella) and these ladies helped us with best practices of what they have seen in the past. In addition to the amazing event coordinators, the bar staff, servers, and chef were phenomenal! Yes, you can fall in love with beautiful venues all day but if their staff isn’t as excited for your wedding as you are then what’s the point? Marbella staff turned into family because they were focused on our happiness throughout the night and I cannot thank them enough for helping us execute the wedding of my dreams!!!

Our experience at Marbella can be described as horrible and frustrating at best and I would not recommend it to anyone. They will nickel and dime you at every turn, Jennifer is not helpful and does not even seem to enjoy her job, and you will not even get anything you paid for. To start, we went one year ago and met with Jennifer and Natalie. It was a short conversation, which was fine. Jennifer went on maternity leave and Natalie stepped in when we signed the contract. Natalie seemed to not have been trained properly because there were a number of things that we were promised that we were told were not possible when Jennifer returned. Jennifer is not helpful. She is curt, and unpleasant. She offers you flexibility, which is what drew me to Marbella, but in reality there is little flexibility. As a response, Jennifer basically told me she was unaware of things I asked for and gave a disingenuous apology. For full disclosure, we went back and forth with management and I was given a $4000 reimbursement, which I still feel is inadequate. 1. We paid for a premium bar and I specifically asked that only premium liquor drinks be poured. My dad and others were told that they did not have Black Label whiskey, which, is listed as one of the premier liquor drinks. Not only did you not have it at the cocktail hour but the bartenders were extremely rude to my dad. We paid for premium knowing that Black Label was included and I specifically asked Kaile to make sure there is enough of everything and she reassured me of it. The alcohol that they were serving was inconsistent with the listed premium liquor. This was one of the things stressed at our first meeting. 2. Bathrooms were ATROCIOUS. TRULY EMBARRASSING. My wedding coordinator asked repeatedly to speak to a facilities person and was told that there were NONE. Its shocking to me that there was not a facilities person and this should have been mentioned to me that I needed to hire someone to refill toilet paper at the venue and clean out trash cans. 3. At cocktail hour plastic plates and utensils were used. My mom and the caterer both stressed that we would NOT be using plastic. At venues where plastic is used because of cement or for any other reason, they gave heads up in the initial meeting (Ex. Franciscan Gardens). We were not told and we specified! 4. At the cocktail hour there was a tip jar at the bar. I had emphasized NOT having a tip jar many times before the event. I, the bride, actually had it removed at the cocktail hour but then saw it again sitting on the back bar filled with cash at the reception. I stressed this in my meeting with Kaile. 5. I was told at 11:00 pm at the wedding that there was a fee when I go above the consumption limit. This is incredible to me, seeing as I sat down with both Kaile and Jennifer and calculated what things would cost and what it would mean to go above the limit and whether that would be more cost effective. At no time was I told that there would be an additional fee if I went over my initial consumption limit. My understanding was that I would be charged per drink after that point. 6. Additionally cake cutting was listed in what I signed yesterday and the cake was not cut or served until I went and told them to cut and serve the cake. The servers only cut the sheet cake and refused to cut the cake until I directly prompted them to. 7. We discussed tea and coffee at our final meeting. There was no coffee and the tea water was left unfilled.

Our daughter’s wedding at Marbella Country Club (MCC) was absolutely amazing, and way beyond our expectations!!! Before booking the wedding at Marbella, we checked several other venues ranging from Ritz Carlton, Monarch and Montage to Dove Canyon and Coto. We chose MCC because of its charming beauty, elegant set up and the fact that they exclusively host one wedding at a time (unlike Ritz and many other locations that book & juggle 2 weddings same night). The event coordinators, Jenn and Kaile are true professionals who generously dedicated their time and efforts to make our daughter’s wedding perfect. Guests were impressed with all the attention that was paid to every detail. Besides the gorgeous set up, it was the service that made the night more enjoyable: plenty of servers with trays of gourmet appetizers, butlers walking around and serving wine and champagne to prevent lines at the bar (guests had multiple drinks and almost no lines at the bar due to great staff to guest ratio), valet parking, well groomed professional and super friendly staff. Food was so amazing that we asked the chef to come out; so we can recognize and thank him. It takes great skills to feed 150 guests at the same time, yet have the food get to the tables hot, look elegant and taste absolutely delicious! The night was so perfect; that many of our guests referred to it as “magical”. Thank you Marbella Country Club and staff!

This is an absolutely beautiful venue and the staff is wonderful. From the coordinators to the chef to the bartender, everyone was friendly, skilled and professional. The food was delicious, cooked perfectly and served hot. The staff was accommodating, flexible and helpful with our timeline. We have nothing but great things to say and highly recommend Marbella!

I got married at Marbella on July 15th, 2017 it was my dream wedding made into a reality. I didn't visit many venues when we started the planning process because after Marbella I was in love! The Country Club is beautiful I didn't need extravagant flowers and decorations because I did not want anything taking away from the stunning property. The staff was amazing and very accommodating. I worked mostly with Jennifer and Kaile who were both very professional and made the process so nice and easy. All my guests were so impressed by every aspect and had an amazing time. Everything exceeded my expectations and I could not be happier.

Absolutely the best! My fiancée and I searched tirelessly trying to find the perfect venue, and Marbella was the diamond we had been searching for. While many other venues provide you with 4 walls, dance floor, tables, and chairs, Marbella exceeds all expectations. From the second I drove into Marbella, past the security guard, and walked into the country club past the beautiful water fountain, I thought the venue would be way out of my price range. Boy, was I wrong. The value at Marbella is phenomenal. Marbella is truly the wedding venue of your dreams...with a beautiful ceremony site with amazing golf course and water fountain in the background, to an elegant and stunning entrance that I am sure brides just dream about. After the ceremony, as you take wedding photos with incredible backgrounds that Marbella has to offer, your guests spend a cocktail hour in a warm, very welcoming area, furnished with comfy chair and a fireplace that adds elegance to the room. For the reception, your guests are taken to another location, outdoor patio (though indoor option is available), which is spacious and beautiful. The food at Marbella is absolutely top-notch. My guests continue to rave that the food at Marbella was the best they've ever had. I had a buffet for approximately 100 guests, and I'd highly recommend consider going that route. For the reception, Marbella provides everything you need in terms of tables, chairs, linens, etc. etc. etc. No stone is left unturned. For the rest of the party, Marbella has another great room, which provides a large dance floor, lots of lounging room for your guests who need to take a break, and an amazing chandelier in the bar area. Words cannot express how amazed I was with everything that Marbella had to offer. Spearheaded by Jennifer and Kaile, this stressful day turned out perfect. Thank you so much Marbella. You made the best day of my life absolutely incredible!

Our daughter's wedding was on 6/3/17 and it was absolutely stunning. Marbella is such a beautiful venue and everything was perfect. Kaile and Jen were so great to work with as well as the other vendors recommended by Marbella. Our guest have been raving about how beautiful the venue was an how much fun they had. I am looking forward to seeing the pictures and video of our event. Again it was such a pleasure working the the professionals a Marbella.

The venue location is absolutely beautiful. Kaile was such a delight to work with and made the entire planning process worry-free.

Our wedding was at the end of April and it was the most incredible day ever! We looked at several venues and Marbella happened to be the last venue we picked out of whim. We were in awe at how beautiful the venue was! We BOTH agreed on the venue so it was a sign. The coordinators, Jennifer and Kaile, guided us throughout the planning process, making sure we had the wedding we wanted. They were amazing to work with. They recommended that we hire a “day-of” coordinator. Best decision we made, which we highly recommend. Our wedding day couldn’t have been more perfect! The weather was great, picturesque views, delicious food and all our loved ones in one place. It was a magical night. The staff and servers were excellent and attentive. All our guests had a great time, not a single complaint! We had an “open bar by consumption” with a set limit. We actually came under! We ended up doing one BIG group shots of tequila and vodka so nothing was wasted. Epic. Marbella will always have a special place in our hearts. Thank you for everything! We highly recommend Marbella. Go check them out! Just don’t let the fancy gate entrance steer you away. Marbella is a great value and a steal for what you get!

1) My contract had stated that there was no noise ordinance requirements outdoors prior to 10pm. Also, I had asked the staff several times prior to the wedding. Police were called 3 times. 2 times my coordinator met them, & 1 time I personally went out & met the police. In all cases we were within our legal contract rights. To be stressed throughout my entire wedding that the cops were being called & getting threats (even by Marbella staff) that our wedding was going to get shut down. When I asked after the wedding, the Director of F&B Stephen Connolly, mentioned that the residents at MCC are the ones who called the cops & their is nothing they could do about it. DON'T RENT YOUR SPACE OUT FOR $$$ IF YOU HAVE MEMBERS WHO COMPLAIN!! 2) The BAR: I made the mistake of having a Open Bar By Consumption. I had set a $2,600 limit. I told them to keep me updated throughout the wedding to know how much we have burned through it and to see if we would open up to a cash bar or if I would add more to the tab. They not only did not keep me updated, they also charged my Credit Card for another $3,410 WITHOUT MY PERMISSION! THATS ILLEGAL & extremely unethical! On top of that, I was very skeptical about having an open bar based off of consumption because clearly who was going to stand there & watch the bar staff sit & input every drink into their POS system & how would they be accountable. I was promised that Marbella was very careful and ethical when it comes to this & that everything is rung up (which is a given) & I could get a receipt at the end with the bar tab. When I requested the 'DETAILED BAR TAB' after the wedding, I was tossed around for weeks until Mr. Connolly finally came clean & told me "that a tally sheet is kept & once the tally sheet is total on an adding machine, the tally sheet is discarded". How am I supposed to accept paying $5,800 for a bar that I have no idea what was consumed & how much! That's not even legal! I am going to report them to the Board of Equalization because this is not legal. I demanded to see a receipt and they don't have it. They never inputted the drinks into the system & they charged me taxes, which means they are under reporting & took taxes from me that they have no receipt for & they are CROOKS! They told me that the drink prices were inclusive of taxes and service charges, which I found out later that it is not. DON'T DO A BAR HERE AT ALL...THE PRICES ARE OUTRAGEOUS AND THEY ARE THIEVES! Over 50 of my guests complained that the staff were cleaning off tables before they were finished eating or drinking. My guests had to yell at the staff to not remove anything until they said so. This was very apparent with the drinks especially. Makes me wonder if they purposely did that so they could have people go back to the bar & get more because they had my credit card on file. As for the food, I had an outside caterer that is usually good with quantities & somehow people had to go back for more food because there plates were picked up by the staff BEFORE THEY FINISHED! 4) Staff: The captain of the staff for the night YELLED AT ME just for asking what I could do to help with the noise complaints. Top level staff...DIDN'T GIVE AN APOLOGY, EXPLANATIONS, RECEIPTS OR COMPENSATION!!! 5) Pictures: If you think you can take pics on premise especially when you paid over $15,000 just to rent the space with chairs/tables & a rip off bar, think again. Can't take pics anywhere on the premise except in front of the main doors!

Marbella holds a special place in my heart for how incredible and easy they made our big day. We were the first to put the reception on the lawn, cocktails on the terrace, and dancing inside. While it was new and different, Jennifer and the staff made it feel like they've done it like that forever. The whole evening was flawless and the staff is unbelievably accommodating, sweet, and open to whatever new and fun idea you may have. To say we were happy that we picked Marbella is an understatement, they truly have it all. It was the best decision we made and I'm so glad we did! Huge thank you to Jennifer and Marbella for all they do!!

Marbella was absolutely perfect for our May wedding. Jennifer is extremely organized and helpful throughout the whole planning process. The venue is breathtaking and the food wasn't normal wedding food - it was delicious!! My husband and I are so so thankful for everything Marbella did to make our dream come true! I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone!
