Spanish Hills Country Club

An amazing place! Everything is extremely professional and well run. Bridget was incredible - she kept the stress level low, was very flexible with our scheduling since we were doing everything from out of town, and tailored things to our specific needs and wishes. Even though there are packages, it is very easy to make adjustments, add or exchange things as fit your preferences. The staff was incredibly friendly and easy to work with. And when our cake didn't show up on time, Bridget had a backup plan ready to go. This place made our wedding very special! Best choice if you want a low stress, beautiful wedding.

Spanish Hills was a great venue. The price was good for the quality. When we first went to tour the venue we were working with Halie and she was great! Once we booked, Halie was gone and we then started working with Lanette. After a year and a half (3 weeks before the wedding) Lanette left and we worked with Bridget. We wished we didn't get bumped around so much but Bridget was good and she picked up the missing pieces.

I had a great experience with Spanish Hills Country Club. This venue is beautiful. The food was delicious. I had many compliments on the chicken. Bridget was my coordinator and she was excellent!! I had a big wedding party and Bridget handled it with ease.

We got married here recently and were rather disappointed. Here are the pros:

-beautiful venue. All of our guests commented on how beautiful our ceremony was and everyone loved the venue.

-food. The food is really good and we also got multiple compliments on the food.

-price. You can't really beat the price for the type of location and quality food that you get.

Overall, it is a great venue; however, we were really disappointed with the service. Don't expect any special treatment at all. You are just another $20K to them. They weren't accommodating at all when we tried to view the venue or set up our tasting. We don't live in the area and we had to work around their schedule. No exceptions at any time. At the rehearsal, the wedding coordinator was all over everyone about being on time, etc... Well the day of the wedding, we were ready to go at 5:45 pm and she was nowhere to be found. My husband was trying to find her, because it was complete chaos outside. He assumed she was inside with me, but she wasn't, because my Dad was also trying to find her. 6:00 rolls around and at this point, my Dad is beyond frustrated and actually, I've never seen him that angry in my life. We were told we had to be ready to go at 5:45 on the dot and here it is at 6:00 pm and still, no sign of the wedding coordinator. Eventually, she lines everyone up at 6:15. This is now a half hour later than planned. It might not seem like a long time, but a half an hour is a long time when everyone is anxious and nervous. And it gets worse....

My ring bearer walked down the aisle without the ring bearer pillow even though I had given it to the wedding coordinator the day before the wedding. The head table didn't have champagne for the "toast." How do you forget the head table? We paid for wine during dinner or at least it was included in our package, but wine was only served after my mother had to track the coordinator down to point out no wine was being served. By the time they started pouring wine, we were already finished with our meals. Granted, guests could go to the bar, but we paid for wine service. My mother had to eat her meal cold, because she was busy hunting down the wedding coordinator to remind them about the wine service instead of eating. I've been to some hole in the wall banquet halls that can manage to get the wine served on time with dinner, so it is inexcusable to me that a place that boasts about its "service" can't manage to do the same....

The cappuccino machine was included in our package and I had told a lot of guests about the cappuccino bar after dinner. Apparently, the cappuccino machine wasn't working, but that information was never relayed to us. They probably knew it wasn't working, but never mentioned it. We did receive a refund check in the mail, but still, they seemed to promise a lot that wasn't delivered in the end.

Also, the day of the wedding we decided to purchase some heat lamps for our cocktail hour. One of them wasn't working, but sure enough, we were still charged the full $75 for it. My husband has now followed up with the coordinator multiple times about getting a refund for the broken heat lamp. Normally, we would let it go; however, we were so fed up with everything that we decided to fight for our refund since we technically paid for something that didn't work. During the cocktail hour, my mom tried to find the wedding coordinator to tell her that we needed to switch the heat lamp since it wasn't working, but again, she was nowhere to be found. Funny enough...we haven't gotten a response and it has been over a month. I also left part of my veil there and was told they have it. My mother in law went to go pick it up, but they said they didn't have my veil. Again, I have followed up with the wedding coordinator multiple times and still, no response.

Oh and I almost forgot to mention the wedding crashers. You better not dare step foot on the "member" side, but apparently, the members can roam to the other side as my husband ran into some wedding crashers who were trying to decide whether they should pretend to know the bride or the groom. Our wedding was 150 people and we knew everyone in the room...nice try...but where was our banquet coordinator then? Not to mention while trying to take pictures on the "non-member" side, there was a "member" who decided to stand right in front of us, so our photographer couldn't take pictures...when politely asked to move, he refused, and reminded us that he was a member and we weren't, so he has a right to stand wherever he wants...

All of this might seem like small stuff and our guests probably didn't notice that wine wasn't being served, etc...but it was a big deal to us as we paid for our wedding on our own and it seemed as though they couldn't execute basic service tasks.

Beautiful venue. Very classy. Loved the outdoor ceremony and indoor reception. Perfect venue for our royal purple/gold themed wedding!

Spanish Hills was the perfect venue for our wedding last May. We worked with Hallie and Lanette who were both absolutely amazing and easy to work with. We couldn't have been happier with our venue selection. They were very accomodating and willing to work on everything with us. Such a pleasure- would definitely recommend in a heart beat!

My husband and I just got married there on Nov. 7th 2009 and I could not wait to write a review for them. The site is beautiful (photographs great) and I love their all-inclusive packages, no extra hidden fees! Hallie, our on site coordinator was amazing to work with. She is extremely professional, intelligent and a joy to work with. She went out of her way and was easy to reach. Everyone on site was so professional and amazing. Anything we asked for, they made it happen or work for us. Everyone told us it was the best wedding they went to, and I know a big part of it was because of the site and the staff. It is truly,without a doubt, the best indoor reception site in Ventura County.

We were hesitant to book our reception at Spanish Hills, since it was way over our budget. It was one of the first places we looked at during our search for the perfect place. After looking at MANY places that were in our budget, our minds still went back to Spanish Hills. I am so glad we splurged for SH! Bridget was an awesome coordinator, and let us arrive early to set up (I wanted everything to be just right!). She was very calm and professional throughout our day, keeping our stress levels very low. The staff was extremely hard working and kept each of our guests happy.

Spanish Hills is an amazing location, as soon as you come through the gates the views and buildings take your breath away. Plus we got married during the last weekend in December and were blessed with warm weather in Camarillo. The staff are all incredibly professional and helpful, but the real star is Hallie (the onsite coordinator). She was always there for any questions we had and made the wedding day run smoothly - we literally didn't have to worry about a thing. She even managed to fix a disastorous looking wedding cake and joked that icing may need to be added to her emergency kit!

The cost is also very reasonable and there are no 'hidden extras' like you seem to get at most reception sites. The package included all drinks, a 3 course dinner, cappucino bar and all cocktail hour food. We also got married at the country club and received so many compliments on how beautiful the ceremony was. Again the cost wsa very reasonable (expecially considering that Hallie was the dedicated day-of-coordinator).

I really can't say enough about how wonderful the entire experience was and how fabulous Hallie was...I would whole heartedly recommend Spanish Hills to anyone looking for that special location to get married!

Many weddings are hosted here and this turned me off initially as I wanted my wedding to be "special." When I got over this, however, I learned to appreciate how wonderfully orchestrated the venue is. Everything works out perfectly! Hallie was our event coordinator and she couldn't have been any better. Everyone loved the wedding and reception site, our wedding photographs are beautiful, and I am a thoroughly satisfied customer. Highly recommended.

Wonderful people to work with. You are so well taken care of! Thanks!

My husband and I got married on July 5th 2008 and worked with Hallie Pierce. Hallie was an absolute pleasure to work with at Spanish Hills. I found her to be exceptionally professional and highly organized which made our wedding day run very smooth and timely. I highly recommend her and Spanish Hill to everyone! The site is beautiful and photographs very well. My husband and I had our engagement photos taken here as well. If you do go with Spanish Hills you will be in great hands!

I photographed my first wedding at Spanish Hills Country Club a few weeks back, and I have to say it was a great experience. The grounds were immaculate, and the staff was awesome to work with. I worked directly with catering manager, Hallie Pierce, and it was a great experience. The bride & groom enjoyed their experience there, and so did I. Spanish Hills is a great spot.

WONDERFUL staff!CLASSY touches! (synchronized meal service -- wow!)GORGEOUS grounds and gardens!FLAWLESS organization and execution!HELPFUL and THOROUGH coordinators!IMPRESSED wedding guests!DELICIOUS food!BEAUTIFUL day!We loved Spanish Hills and wish we could get married there every year -- they helped create the best day of our lives and we whole heartedly recommend them to any bride and groom who want a picture perfect day!

My wedding was at Spanish Hills last year and it was the most fantastic place to have a wedding. Highly recommended! If you choose this site, make sure Bridgett is your coordinator.

This was such a beautiful venue. For the most part everything was wonderful. We did, however, have some issues with the coordinators..

Beautiful Ceremony and Reception site. One of my favorite places to photograph.
