Karlene & the falls team made our day absolutely perfect. They went above and beyond to cater to us and made us feel so special. They were so flexible and understanding of our needs and wants. Karlene was hands down the best part of the venue! She put me at ease the moment I met her and I trusted everything in her hands!
The venue was clean, beautiful and had everything we needed!
And the food was AMAZING. Some of the best food I have ever had!!
Best experience ever.

Fontana - thank you for this review! You were our last wedding of the season, and it was the perfect close to the year. Your friends & bridal party were HILARIOUS (grand entrance dance moves for the win), it felt like one giant house party and I appreciated how relaxed & laid back everyone was. I enjoyed watching you and Jacob at the sweetheart table, just taking some time for yourselves while your guests were eating and mingling.
Also - thank you for all the stunning photos I am going to steal from you to show off the winter "Long Table Reception" look in the banquet room ;)
Here's to you & Jacob! (clinks glass) - please come back and visit sometime! Xo - Karlene

Amazing food, venue space, and coordinator through The Falls Golf Course!
We used the Falls Golf Course in Chilliwack for our indoor wedding ceremony and reception location—it was a dream come true! The venue itself was absolutely beautiful, and it made our job of decorating the place so simple because we didn’t really need to do anything. The largest reception building is already filled with beautiful draped fabric, warm lighting, and chandeliers hanging everywhere. The ceremony location we chose was beautiful, white and crisp, and so quaint! Again, we were going for a simple look so we hardly decorated anything because it already looked great.
The food was to die for. We opted to make a blended menu combining a few items from two different levels of menus, and they were extremely accommodating to this. Every guest could not stop raving about the food afterwards. If you get married here, get the mushroom ravioli. Just do it. They had special seasonal drink options that were delicious, and the desserts served at the end of the night were fantastic.
When you choose the Falls as your wedding destination, you actually get a coordinator with the package. Karlene was so incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. She was prompt with communication, there was no such thing as too many questions for her, and was extremely accommodating with everything I wanted or asked for.
The only reason I didn’t give them a perfect score was because there were a few small details overlooked day of, and the only complaints from guests was that the dinner and dessert was not left out long enough for everyone to get their fair share. Nothing detracted from the joy of the day, but things would somehow have been even more perfect if these small things were not overlooked. After bringing up these complaints with Karlene she was more than gracious and helped make up for it after everything was said and done!

Tia,
Best bridal entrance song ever!! From the beginning, I appreciated that you knew exactly what you wanted: vision & decor, music, candy bar colors!! - it's a special joy to execute a bride's vision - a challenge I always enjoy, and i'm glad we were able to meet (and hopefully exceed) your expectations :). Thanks as well, for bringing those hiccups to my attention, as a company we want to hear these to know how we can continue to improve, and i'm glad we were able to find a pleasing solution for everyone!
From The Falls, and from myself personally - thank you for choosing us a venue, and may you "dance your way to the end of love" (to Queen, and heavy metal that is...).
Karlene xo

Just great
The staff assisted with love and care. They went above and beyond to help with set up. The wedding planner Karlene did an absolutely amazing job listening to us and making each request a reality. Danny the chef made amazing food and even made a personal vegan meal for my brother, even tho we have a buffet style wedding.

Best Day Eva!!
Amber and I got married on August 31st 2019 and it couldn't of been a more amazing day!! Karlene and her team were nothing but spectacular when it came to making all of our wedding dreams come true. We held our ceremony at the outdoor site. The site is surrounded by lush greenery, tall cedar trees and views of the mountains/Fraser Valley which gave off a secluded and intimate feeling for us and our guests as we said our "I do's". The reception was held in the free standing steel structure named "The Pavilion". The interior of the pavilion is out of a fairy tale: chandeliers, white linen drapery and large windows facing the mountains surrounding Chilliwack. The food was also pretty great might I add, Danny is the man!!! p.s get the mushroom ravioli cause it's to die for!! Karlene is one of the best reasons to book your wedding at the falls. She is very organized, punctual, understanding, flexible and professional. To expand on the flexibility aspect, it seemed like whatever idea we had, no matter how crazy aka "The Greenery Wall", she was always on board and just as excited as we were. Another reason we chose this venue was because we didn't need to leave to take gorgeous photos. There is the option to get breathe-taking photos with the Fraser Valley view as the back drop, and they also have a beautiful waterfall that makes this venue stand our from the rest. All and all we were so blessed to be able to have our wedding at The Falls and we would urge anyone to book this venue if they are looking for an intimate setting and friendly staff.

Oh you two. *gush*
1. Amber - you. are. amazing! I enjoyed our jokes, and making faces at you from behind the buffet. Thanks for being a breath of fresh air and reminding me why I love my job so much - you were amazing to work with and it was a pleasure to get to know you a bit over the planning process.
2. . Clarance - I was so completely and thoroughly impressed with your organization skills, and the creativity that went into your guys' wedding day. From ordering napkins in the right color blue from TEXAS, to building a greenery wall that had every vendor making bids for purchase, and every detail in between. 5 stars. Would recommend.
Thanks again for choosing The Falls to host your wedding- you two are a beautiful couple - I hope our paths cross again sometime soon :)

Review of my wedding at the Falls
I got married in July and the venue was beautiful. Well kept garden and grounds. Overall my time planning my wedding with the coordinator was exceptional and I had the best experience. I was told my guests the food was wonderful and the serving staff on the day was good. Overall I had the best day of my life. Karlene the coordinator was absolutely amazing!! I do believe my day wouldn’t have ran smoothly without her! She calmed my nerves and was absolutely fantastic.

Best day of my life
My wedding day at The Falls was a dream come true. The venue is beautiful. I got married on a summer day but had an indoor ceremony due to rain, and I loved the elegant feeling of it. I love gloomy weather and the elegant venue made it everything I would have wanted. The lighting is awesome both in the indoor ceremony room and the pavilion, and the spots for photos outside are incredible. My photographers loved photographing here! I didn’t know what to expect with the golf carts as I don’t golf, but they were a blast and my bridal party and guests enjoyed them a lot! I had a lot of compliments on the food, I personally loved the desserts they provided. My guests also loved the outdoor space to mingle and walk around, it is beautiful during sunset especially! Karlene, the wedding coordinator, was amazing from day one. On my wedding day, she personally served my bridal party and I, always making sure we had what we needed. It was a great personal touch. My only area for improvement would be that the indoor ceremony room was quite warm, but that is probably expected when you shove lots of people in there! Karlene was so accommodating with my live music band and with everything really. I honestly got everything I wanted, the way I wanted it. I would 100% reccommend this venue to any bride!

Such a beautiful day!
There are so many wonderful reasons to get married at The Falls! Karlene, the day-of coordinator, is so kind and helpful, and kept everything so organized for us from the day we decided to book. She made sure we had a plan for everything. Before the wedding we were able to do a food tasting (which is super fun🤤), and she also helped coordinate our rehearsal. Something to be aware of is that the rehearsal dinner at The Falls is usually planned for the week before the wedding. If any of your bridal party is from out of town, that’s something to keep in mind. But, we were assured that those that couldn’t make it would be filled in before the wedding.
As for the wedding day, the ceremony site is so beautiful with the arbour, white chairs, greenery and beautiful view overlooking the valley. All we brought in for decorations was a welcome sign, and honestly that was all it needed. Karlene also helped with timing the processional, and everything went smoothly! We also used the outdoor ceremony site to put some yard games on during the break.
We were able to take our bridal party out on the carts to take photos in between the ceremony and reception, and the lunch they had ready for us was delicious! I would highly recommend adding it on to your day. The martial was also super flexible in letting our photographer stop us in places she thought was good for photos.
The pavilion that the reception was held in was beautiful. That’s one of the biggest benefits of choosing this venue - is that you hardly need any decorations! The pavilion has huge windows over looking the valley and is hung with white tulle, chandeliers and string lights. It looks amazing in the day and night, and it’s all included in the cost. In the evening, they brought out a couple propane fire pits which our guests really enjoyed. The food during the reception was also great! All of our guest seem to love it. I didn’t get to try any, but I heard the steak was especially good. My favourite was the cheesecake! Great job to their chef! The servers were friendly and did great work, and the bartender was a really nice guy!
Overall, our day was perfect. It is a pricier venue, but 100% worth it for what is included. We heard from so many of our guests that they had a great time, and we’re so thankful we got to have our wedding here!

The perfect day
Thank you to Karlene @ the falls golf course for helping us arrange/coordinate our wedding! We decided on a pop up wedding and Karlene was a huge help with the planning of our big day and making It stress free. The indoor venue was beautiful, it is set up in a way that you don’t have to decorate if you wish to keep it simple and still be elegant. The chef put together a small lunch for my husband and I to enjoy before getting our photo’s done. The food was delicious, I myself have to eat gluten free and my husband is a little picky and he was able to accommodate to all our needs and create an amazing dish. I couldn’t have asked for a better day! Thank you for helping us make our day one of a kind! I highly recommend having your wedding here.
