Reviews for Dove Canyon Country Club




We are having our reception here and are SO excited! Becky and Jennifer are absolutely wonderful and, to be honest, while the venue sells itself we chose it largely to work with Jennifer and the rest of the staff at Dove. We even met the lady who will be serving us dinner that night! They worked with our budget, and their first instinct is "Yes" then "how can we make that happen?" We'll keep you posted, but I HIGHLY suggest this venue!




We had our reception at Dove Canyon and we are SO HAPPY with how everything turned out! The food was amazing and the service was impeccable! The staff was so nice, very helpful and super attentive. It is absolutely beautiful venue. I have nothing but great things to say about Dove Canyon!

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!

The Dove Canyon Country Club is a gorgeous, gorgeous venue. Because I had my heart set on having our ceremony in a church, I didn't do both the ceremony and reception here however, the grounds are stunning. They have wonderful facilities, preparation rooms, indoor and outdoor ceremony accommodations - I'd highly recommend having both events here, if it works for your vision. Becky, the events director is phenomenal. She's on-point, friendly, organized, and I cannot thank her enough, for preparing my wedding, so that it went off without a hitch. Our guests absolutely loved the food - as did my husband, who had his heart set on a carving station. Because of this reception venue, my wedding had the warmth and romantic ambiance I had always dreamed of. Enjoy this venue, their team, their wonderful food and drink, and stunning location - my guests said numerous times that during the sunset, they felt like there were in Tuscany.

Dove Canyon Country Club was a wonderful place to have our ceremony and reception! Everyone we worked with during the planning process, all the way through the day of were great! Everyone was so nice and easy to work with! It is such a beautiful place and it was the exact rustic, country like feel that we wanted for our "Big Day!"
GUEST




Venue was beautiful. There were no major snags or fires that I knew about. They were very professional and took care of everything!Highly recommended!!!

Dove Canyon is really a gorgeous site for both the ceremony and the reception. Our guests loved it and had good things to say about their evening. As a bride, I was impressed with the coordinators responsiveness, they were very on top of all of the details we worked out. The service for food and bar was quick which is good for 100 plus people. **My one note to couples would be - discuss if you want the TV on. The bartender had a baseball game on the TV and instead of dancing people were watching TV...not what you imagine at your wedding. Everything else was great. Very happy overall. Thanks!

Dove Canyon is absolutely beautiful! All of our guests asked us how we found it and thought it was one of the most amazing backdrops ever. The events department is second to none! They know their stuff and wanted more than anything to accomodate every single thing we wanted to do. Whereas at other venues you get "No, but let me see. There might be an up-charge." Here, we got "Yes! I'll double check to make sure and see if we can include it." It was such a huge relief from everywhere else that we booked it on the spot, a year in advance.As for the day of, the events department did everything - making up for our day-of planner. If you are considering a planner, you likely won't need one if you use Dove. We hired one since our ceremony was in a different location and I pushed very hard for one. However, after going through the day, even with our ceremony elsewhere - this staff is so good that we really could have saved the cost. The food was great, presentation was great, and they went out of their way to make our day unforgetable. We highly recommend Dove Canyon!

Absolutely wonderful and so accommodating. The ceremony and reception sites were stunning and they work hard to ensure that you are comfortable on the day of. They even brought down a special plate of appetizers for the wedding party right after the ceremony to make sure we got a taste... and that is just one minor detail they covered! We are so pleased with our choice!
GUEST




This place was fantastic. We were able to do anything we wanted and made it look amazing. It also fit all the poeple we needed, and was great as far as space for a line, dance floor, etc.
GUEST




The clubhouse was very nice, and the food choice was excellent. However, since this is a private golf course, guests are not allowed on the property other than the clubhouse building. We were able to take photos on the golf course, escorted by the event coordinator. Overall, I was satisfied.

This venue is absolutely beautiful! There are two huge doors that open up into a lobby area (for lack of a better word) that has a fireplace on the left and if you look up you will see the light come through the mini skylights in the vaulted ceilings. If you look to the right, there is a bigger skylight with some foliage underneath it where your gift table will probably go. If you look straight ahead there you will see that there are steps that lead down to a foyer where you can hold your ceremony if you want it indoors. There is no wall, but floor to ceiling windows across the back of the foyer and the reception hall which is attached but separate. There is no door, but it's easy to setup for a grand entrance :)Please remember to get everything in writing as we had some communication problems. It felt like our wedding was thrown together last minute and that there was not much importance given to it. For example we were expecting our timeline from Lorraine in September as promised, but we did not receive it until about 7 days before our wedding. I'm a planner and a nervous bride so that did not sit well with me. Also, we had told Lorraine several times that we were having an indoor wedding ceremony and Becky had no idea about it when we were sent our itinerary. It was a bit frustrating and I cannot fathom how unorganized they were with our wedding. EVERYONE has given such great reviews about how the wedding went off without a glitch --ours did too -- but the wedding process and the planning was definitely not stress free.. My vendors also had problems getting in touch with Lorraine who seemed to be out of the office most of the time.1. Make sure you get everything in writing (either in the contract or in emails).2. Make sure you are on top of them or have someone who is3. Even if you are reassured that something doesn't need to get done "so early" just get it doneThe golf course is famous --Jack Nicklaus golf course and my fiance wanted to book it for a game with his father 4 months in advance but were told to wait a week before and of course...nothing was available.4. Make sure you figure out what they mean by "cake stand"
For any Bride and Groom reading this endorsement: I am Rev. Michael and I Officiate at all locations in Orange County. And one of my top five favorite locations to Officiate at is at the Dove Canyon Country Club. Their staff are, without a doubt, the best, the most flexible, the most organized and the nicest coordinators and caterers to work with. I receive so many rave reviews from my couples not only regarding the way they handle the Ceremony but the reception as well. I would be remiss in not telling you to at least call them and investigate their venue and offerings.

Wedding Ceremony and Reception Features at Dove Canyon Country Club
Whether you choose to hold your ceremony indoors or outside, the options take full advantage of the amazing views surrounding the Dove Canyon clubhouse. Indoor ceremonies are held in the sunken lounge, with a floor-to-cathedral-ceiling window that suspends you right over the canyon, while outdoor ceremonies are held on the picturesque terrace below. Situated against a wooded hillside, the terrace meets a small pond bordered with seasonal flowers and rock formations. As the pond gives way to a waterfall which flows out of sight to the canyon below, you are met with an awe-inspiring backdrop – a canyon vista that extends as far as the eye can see. The grounds offer extensive photo possibilities, with the stunning 80' waterfall topping the list of favorites.
Accommodating events as small as 20 or as large as 280, there are numerous room options within the club. The sunken lounge is extremely versatile, making it a great choice for a smaller indoor ceremony and reception of up to 175. The clubhouse lobby and adjacent Ballroom accommodate gatherings of up to 280 guests. Three additional, smaller rooms offer spaces for more intimate affairs, yet every single one still offers breathtaking views of the beautifully manicured grounds of the golf course.
The Ballroom’s dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows offer natural lighting, along with unobstructed views of the beautifully landscaped fairways, sparkling waterfalls, lakes and the stunning canyon. Additional light is provided by the fireplaces located at either end of the room, as well as the skylight in the peaked ceiling. Abundant wood detailing and a plush, burgundy and brushed gold carpet enhance the warm feeling of the room.
