I got married at Newlands just last weekend and I just wanted to give a huge shoutout to the entire team there for making our experience of getting married so effortless and stress free. From our amazing coordinator, Jessalyn, to our incredibly talented decorator, Lisa, the Newlands team really made every part of the process easy for us.

I wasn't even in the country when we picked Newlands as our venue and seeing how they were so accommodating and willing to explain the logistics, the timeline, and the transparency in costs, honestly made it a clear winner for us. We really loved the flexibility in how much we got to be involved in the creative process. On top of getting a full meeting with the decor team, each step of the way was met with a professional who was ready to take on any part of our wedding with excitement and care.

We couldn't be more grateful as well to Linda and the DJ team (Anesh & Hussein) who had our guests constantly rushing to the dance floor and adding things on the fly that resulted in everyone line dancing at one point.

To our amazing photographers, Michelle and Larissa, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Both me and my partner are pretty awkward people, but they made us feel so at ease the whole time and made the whole process of capturing everything we wanted so easy. It's still too soon so we haven't seen the finals, but we can't wait to sit down with them and see everything that was captured.

Something nice we weren't expecting was a handover of the day coordinator to the room captain. Our room captain, Heera, was fantastic. The handover between the day team and the evening was flawless and Heera made sure we had plenty to eat and drink between all the festivities. We didn't catch the names of the rest of the staff that were there that night, but all our guests were so impressed with how kind and attentive everyone was, so thank you so much to the evening crew for making their night as well!

Something we were a little concerned about was food. We knew that a buffet could be pretty good, but nothing prepared us for the amount of guests we had going back for seconds, thirds, and then telling us days later that it had been the best wedding food they'd ever had. So a huge shoutout to the entire culinary team at Newlands! We highly recommend upgrading to the prime rib as that was definitely something everyone loved, and we even got a lot of people saying how much they enjoyed all the vegetarian options as well. If you have guests that are vegan or have any dietary restrictions, Newlands were more than helpful in ensuring that those individuals got their own plates and that all the food was carefully labelled and/or food was separated onto different tables to avoid as much cross contamination as possible which was amazing.

While we have no control over the weather, I really appreciated how much Jessalyn reassured me that whatever happens, there is a rain plan and it's quick to organize (even though we know it won't be needed because it will hold out!). I think knowing that there was always a back up and a chance to still make things special for us, was just a bonus in having a wedding that was affordable, and memorable.

We really appreciated that 2 times a year leading up to the wedding, they also hold a huge showcase and tasting so you get a chance to try the food, find vendors that they've worked with before, and you get a chance to chat with all of them which is honestly so helpful especially with how busy and stressful it can be planning.

If you're looking for a chance to having a beautiful wedding that encompasses the benefit of being able to work within a budget if you have one, having a team that truly cares about your day, and having an amazing experience seeing effortless planning come together, my partner and I couldn't recommend Newlands more.

Thank you so much to everyone there for making the day so special!

We had our wedding at Newlands Golf & Country Club and had a great experience! Special thanks to Jessalyn for being so easy to communicate with and helpful throughout the planning process. She was always patient, listened to what we wanted, and did her best to make everything happen the way we had planned. She was also very flexible and accommodating, which made the whole process a lot less stressful. We really appreciate all her help in making our wedding day so special! 💕

My husband and I just got married last week, and our wedding was absolutely amazing! Newlands Wed had everything we needed, from the flowers, DJ, food, photographer, and decorations to the wedding coordinator. Charlene and Lisa made my wedding dreams come true, and I couldn’t be more grateful for everything they did to make our special day so perfect.

From the beautiful venue to the incredible price, I truly couldn’t have asked for a better place to get married. Everything was exactly what we wanted, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience.

I would highly recommend Newlands Wed to anyone looking for their dream wedding venue. Thank you, Charlene and Lisa, for making our wedding day so unforgettable!

Our wedding coordinator Jessalyn was amazing and made everything so easy for us. All the staff was great and exceeded our expectations. Our guests talked about the food all night. We would definitely recommend!

We got married this past weekend and were frankly blown away at the organization, decoration, and overall orchestration of the ceremony and reception.

We had Charlene and Guru as our day/night coordinators and there was never a second during the day where we were worried if something would show up/be done in time. Both of them were absolutely committed to making our day as smooth and stress free as possible.

Sherri was our photographer and though we haven’t gotten the photos back yet, having seen some initial shots I know they’re going to be unbelievable. Her vision, communication, and her commitment to excellence are impressive.

In the entire Newlands wedding process, the only thing that it was let down by was the actual planning process. For us, the most frustrating part was that the departments seem to not communicate with each other. We often had to reiterate what our wants were multiple times to different people. Other than that, just minor lack of details throughout the planning process (documents not being fully up to date, typos, etc) made us a little dubious as to the quality we could expect at our wedding.

I’m delighted to say that our expectations were absolutely blown out of the water. Our day was absolutely perfect and I wouldn’t have changed a thing. Genuinely could not recommend Newlands enough; having everything handled on site for us by the same vendor was an absolute godsend for us in terms of pre-wedding stress.

We had our October wedding here at newlands. Everything went so well. Everyone was so helpful with all our questions and the wedding went on without any issues!

Having Newlands Golf and Country be a part of our big day was so lovely! From the start to the finish it just seemed to effortlessly flow. The decorations and food were unreal, so thank you thank you again.
Although I did have a mix up with the DJ. My bridesmaid was set up to sing two songs and he only queued one of the songs. Regardless though he did a pheromonal job at the music! Everyone danced all night! I'd also would recommend pins underneath the table as one of our tables collapsed and noticing that as a bride did catch my eye.
The photobooth did stop working at the last 10 minutes of the reception. I would recommend them to have a back up just incase -- I am thankful they have digital copies sent for this reason :).
These are not negative outcomes! I just want to share the whole experience because Newlands truly did make it everything I wanted. And things do happen; its life. But they handled it with grace and kindness and I wouldn't have had that at a different venue -- they were truly amazing. Thank you thank you thank you.
Everything was so beautiful, family and friends kept saying "This is the best wedding ever!" It was so warming to hear. Marshall and I were smiling ear to ear.
Thank you so much for making this day happen.

Disappointing wedding coordination.

Our wedding at Newlands Golf & Country Club was beautiful overall, Unfortunately, we experienced significant coordination and communication issues that affected our wedding day and our family.

• Ceremony location: We had confirmed that our ceremony would be indoors in the Conservatory Ballroom, yet the coordinator’s documents continued to list the gazebo. We caught this ourselves only two weeks before the wedding.
• Ceremony setup: The dance floor and arch were set up incorrectly on the wedding day. My husband noticed the mistake before the ceremony and had it corrected. We feel these details should have been checked by the coordination team rather than by us on the wedding day. I cant imagine how I would ahve felt walking the aisle in the disastrous set up had my husband not checked.
• Reception seating: Despite providing the correct floor plan and updated table information multiple times, an earlier version was used. As a result, our immediate family was seated in a location where my mother-in-law could not properly see the dance floor and spent much of the reception standing. This was particularly upsetting because these moments cannot be recreated.
• Vendor meals: We repeatedly confirmed that our photobooth vendors needed two meals and asked that they be set aside around 8:30 PM. They were not informed and did not receive their meals for several hours. We had also given up two guest seats to accommodate the vendor meals.

we were very disappointed that our concerns were ultimately not addressed by the higher-level management/owners. We did not receive any additional goodwill compensation or a genuine meaningful apology for the overall impact these coordination issues had on us and our family.

Planning a wedding is already stressful, and having to repeatedly double-check important details ourselves added unnecessary stress that we should not have had to carry. We wanted to be able to trust our coordination team and enjoy the process, especially on the wedding day.

While the venue itself is lovely, based on our overall experience, we would not recommend Newlands for future weddings. We sincerely hope the venue takes this feedback seriously and improves its communication and coordination process for future couples.

The Newlands team is incredibly talented. They made every part of the wedding planning process simple and straightforward for me and my groom!

We received tons of compliments on our wedding decor and food. Kudos to Lisa and the amazing decor team!

Charlene, our coordinator, was extremely helpful! Our photographer Sherri and videographer Simon were also incredible.

Our wedding day at Newlands was truly perfect! From day 1, all of the staff members were incredibly helpful, kind, knowledgeable, and flexible with every detail of our wedding. They accommodated every request we had and made the planning process as seamless and stress-free as I could have imagined. By handling a majority of the big details, like food, bar, flowers, wedding cake, DJ, decor, setup/teardown and so much more, it allowed us to focus on the smaller details to make our wedding feel special and exactly what we wanted. While taking the stress of finding vendors off and also still gave us the freedom and flexibility to choose everything we want. The venue was decorated perfectly and looked absolutely beautiful. The Bride/bridesmaids got ready in the Magnolia suite, and it was the perfect place to relax, do hair, makeup, and pictures before the ceremony. Absolutely would recommend it to every Bride! Every staff member was absolutely incredible to work with. They were kind and knowledgeable and helped us curate our day to be exactly what we wanted.
A special shoutout to our wedding coordinator, Charlene Sierakawski, she worked with us from day 1 and was absolutely incredible. She helped us make every request come to life without hesitation and was so supportive and organized, from booking the venue to fluffing my dress as I came down the aisle, and everything in between!
We had an amazing wedding day room captain, Heera, who helped the day run so smoothly and took care of every request we had throughout the evening (including making sure we were well fed and always had a full drink!).
We picked Michelle Dixon as our photographer and cannot recommend her enough. Her personality was so relaxed and fun and made the whole process of taking pics easy and enjoyable. We are so happy with our choice to have her there with us.
I chose to go with the hair & makeup artist who is affiliated with Newlands, Kristin ONeill (Rosemount Beauty Co) and I am so glad I did. Her calm and kind energy was exactly what I needed for my wedding day and she and her team made me feel absolutely beautiful for my wedding day! I would highly recommend Kristin.
Linda Enos helped curate our music, DJ and playlists to be exactly what we wanted, was easy to work with and very knowledgeable.
Lisa Wilson at the design studio helped create the most beautiful room, flowers, and cake design we could have imagined. All these staff members and more made our wedding day at Newlands one of a kind. We are SO happy we chose this venue and would recommend it to anyone!
