PGA National Resort & Spa

I got married at PGA National Resort and Spa three weeks ago. Although the venue is gorgeous and our wedding was (almost) everything we had hoped, we had some major issues dealing with the catering manager, Sarai.First off, when I met with her in June 2010 she promised me several things that were not followed through. Sarai told me that if I went to an outside cake vendor, she would wave the $5.50 per person cake cutting fee, that I could have a Sushi Display at the Cocktail Hour with my package, and that there was a great room where we could host our brunch. Immediately following our contract being signed and deposit taken, these promises diminished. We were no longer allowed to "waive" the cake cutting fee and had to go with their vendor (which turned out great anyway). The sushi was now $19 extra per person plus tip and tax on top of our package. The space for the brunch was now reserved by another event going on that weekend. I gave into the cake and the sushi (which was something my husband and I always dreamed of and wanted at our wedding), but we would not give in on the brunch. Magically, after my Mom called her supervisor, another venue opened for the brunch and we were told we could reserve it. More on the brunch later....The tasting was amazing and the food turned out great the night of. We have absolutely no complaints there and were very pleased with the way the food tasted (as were all of our guests who ranted and raved about how delicious the filet, mahi and potato was). The room also turned out unbelievably beautiful and we were so excited that everything was actually turning out great. Sunday morning we had our brunch from 9:30 to 11:30 (for 100 people). The food was excellent and the room was set up as requested. Sarai was even there to greet us. On the Monday after our wedding, my Mom received an email from Sarai informing her that we actually had 125 guests at the brunch and that she would need authorization to charge the Credit Card for the remaining balance. My entire family has been racking our brains trying to come up with a guest list that exceeding 100 for the brunch and to no avail- there simply were not more than 100 people there. Sarai informed my Mom that 136 guests stayed in the hotel as part of our party Saturday night, however, on the same list, we only count 104, and about 15 of those people had early flights and were NOT at the brunch. This issue still hasn't been resolved, which is why I decided to write such an honest review on here.All in all, our wedding was fabulous, but I do not feel that I could honestly recommend the venue knowing that they tried to scheme us out of the extra money for the brunch and that promises made at the initial contact were not kept once the contract was signed.

My maid of honor and I got our nails done at this spa the day before my wedding. It was such a wonderful and relaxing experience! The spa is beautiful and very large. They have a huge ladies lounge and offer many unique and traditional servies. They did a wonderful job on our nails. They had specials running at the time we went so our services were discounted which always helps. Great place for a bride to be before her wedding!

I had by bridal shower/bachelorette party at this resort. 
This place was my first selection for the big day of my life. I love the gardens around and it had enough area for all the gathering and functions performed. I had it in my budget, but overall holding the event at this venue was just the ultimate experience. The atmosphere was very pleasant and the lightings were perfect just like a dream come true.

I had the most unforgettable moment with all my friends just before the big day of my life. It was an ever lasting fun filled memory.I still cherish those moments.

The PGA was a nice place to celebrate our honeymoon, thinking of it makes sour days memorable.

Lovely spa services
