Best Day Ever

Amy, Sadie & Ariel made our wedding day so perfect! Words cannot express how amazing & kind they all were throughout our wedding planning process. The food was also fantastic! I love that they offered a rehersal dinner option for us. I was able to change things the last week of the wedding and there were no issues at all. On the wedding day, they made me feel like a princess, all the staff were so kind and asked me if I needed anything. They all got me water, snacks if I needed, a fan,
and even a little pep talk. Not to mention.. they all said I looked beautiful and that was so amazing to hear. Sadie and Ariel helped decorate exactly how I wanted & truely made our wedding perfect.
This was the perfect venue for our rustic wedding. They are very affordable and no hidden fees. They also accomodated us by allowing us to bring my father-in-laws 1929 Ford Pickup for photos!

horrible experience

very poor management. AMY is owner, coordinator, manger and she can't handle the venue and answer all the questions. They are not responsive to the calls and emails. she took a deposit without sending a contract (probably for tax and business claims ) and reused to give the money back before one month early notice cancellation . The tent ha not enough facility for a wedding . lights, decors and temperature not designed for out door wedding. Amy is very rude and irresponsible and refused to give the deposit back!!

Thank you so much

Amy has literally saved us.
My wedding is one week away, everything was squared up and ready to go until my dad, who is overseas, tested positive for Covid (he’s ok). As I can’t get married without my dad here, my family worked to switch our wedding date. Without Amy’s help and accommodation this wouldn’t have been possible.
I’m addition to that, the whole planning process since we booked with her over a year ago has been great. She’s been super helpful, easy going and has given me so many ideas and a ton of guidance. It’s also a beautiful venue and I love that I can make it my own. Thanks Amy and Summerlea staff for literally saving us!

Weddings at Summerlea Golf Club

I had the opportunity to work with Summerlea Golf Club for some of my clients weddings. Their grounds and ceremony are are incredibly beautiful and picturesque. Their staff and service is one of a kind. Working with me and my staff is always pleasant and seamless. I highly recommend their venue for weddings and golf. xo

Simply delightful.....

Our up and coming Fall wedding has been a complete joy to plan with the staff at Summerlea Golf Course. The excitement builds as Amy's creativity leaves me in awe. Details that I couldn't even dream of have been presented to us that exceed our expectations, all at a reasonable price. Mother Nature may send us a curve ball but we know we are in good hands! Simply delightful... we appreciate you and the care you have put into our special day! xo

I ask every one to read what did Amy do to ruin my wedding day ! All the positive reviews was written by her friends and family

Thank you for your reply Amy,
I am very happy google review, allows customers to have brand awareness and better insight.
1. First of all, by law it’s illegal to share personal information in public. You didn’t protect the privacy of us and disclosed our personal information. I have kept your reply for our record to report …
2. Regarding my contacts, do you remember the first day you wrote down your personal phone number on a card and emphasized you are welcome to answer all my question since a bride could have many concerns for a wedding day and now are complaining my contacts!!!
Let me remind you, I sent you in total 2 messages and you never replied!!! Also, some emails never answered. Customer service means professionalism, patience, and a “people-first” attitude. Based on your rely to ZARA, clearly describing to all google reviewers, summerlea has zero customer service.
3. I was on site for a tour around 2 pm on a day light and you never showed the lightening. You are such a big liar!! Then you assured us the tent is good temperature and always have event even in November. You completely ensured us about the temperature and didn’t say a word about tent allowance to have 50% of walls up. It’s ok if you don’t assure a warm tent but do you accept responsibility if a guest gets cold and has a hard time ?! let me know what responsibility you accept?! Amy, you have zero responsibility!!
4. I don’t let you fool reviewers. I wish I could record your voice and publish in the web then let the universe know your rude bone in your body. You talked very aggressively with me and my husband after we asked our money. Also cut the phone when my husband called you.
5. May I ask to let all your reviewer know which special tables I asked for?! and what did you rent for our wedding?! You are a true liar, and I am sure you won’t run your business since you manner is based on fraud and lie. We spend only one hour in your site, reviewed the menu, paid the deposit and never received a contract and details. Let me clear to the universe you were agreed to cancel one month in advance and we exactly informed you one month in advance based on your word.
6. In our last call you threatened us your lawyer will call me since I add a negative review. I am still waiting for the call and will continue to let the google reviewer know your business is based on fraud and denial.
Amy, I am very happy you replied my review and now all google reviewer could judge righteously and wish your business all the best.
