We held our reception at BGC in the grand ballroom on 10-10-15, and it was a dream come true. In particular, Taryn (their wedding planner) is an absolute godsend. My mom and I were shopping for venues on a Saturday in January, and we were fairly frustrated after about 8 hours of appointments with no luck. We happened to remember that BGC existed & was located relatively close to our ceremony location, so we decided to drop in and see if we could take a look at the space / speak with someone who was there.
We walked in and ....wow. Ladies, this place is spectacular. The rooms are large enough to fit a few hundred people yet still manage to make it feel intimate and romantic. The veranda looks out over the golf course (and the sunset, which was incredible on our wedding day!). The staff is wonderfully attentive and accommodating; the bartenders pour very strong drinks (nobody likes a watered down cocktail amirite?); and the food - oh my gosh the food. It is AMAZING , and it tastes exactly like it does at your tasting, which is uncommon from what I hear from other brides. Let's get serious - guests care about how pretty the room is but they REALLY care about the food, booze, and music. BGC absolutely delivered flawlessly on the food and music (and so did my DJ, but that's a different review :) ) Extra bonus - they let you include linen upgrades, lighting, etc. in your minimum. and free valet for guests. Score!
And then there's Taryn, the wedding planner. Honestly, she sealed the deal for my mom and I. She is an absolute DOLL, and we fell in love with her the second we met her that random Saturday. She was always available for whatever million questions we had, offered her honest suggestions on the food / decor etc (and it was FLAWLESS - magical, really), and worked so well with all of our vendors. We also opted to do our first dance on the putting green with fireworks, and she execute those logistics flawlessly!! There isn't enough space to describe just how much she went above and beyond to make our day absolutely perfect - and it was! We loved her so much we are going to go for drinks with her soon to catch up :) It is so helpful to have a planner like her at your venue - she was invaluable!
Needless to say, I can't recommend BGC enough. They made our day absolutely perfect!
