5 star experience

My husband and I recently got married at the Blackthorn Club and we were blown away by the level of service and professionalism we received throughout the process. Jenn villarta was our wedding and event coordinator and she was fabulous! She took care of every last detail on the wedding day and made everything look perfect! Our guests raved about the venue, the food, and the service from staff. It was a truly affordable option-we spent much less than $10000 for the rehearsal dinner and wedding and it felt like a much more expensive wedding! (Including copious amounts of alcohol 😂). Best wedding ever-even if I am a little biased! 😆😆

WOW - A beautiful venue to promise our hearts to each other

My husband and I chose Blackthorn Club as a venue to bind our hearts, cultures, and families together.
Jenn Garcia, Chef James Allen and all the wonderful employees there went above and beyond to make our wedding day absolutely beautiful. Chef came up with a mouth-watering menu that was a beautiful fusion of our cultures as well as our tastes. Pastry chef Elizabeth designed a mouthwatering cake that was also visually stunning. Jenn Garcia took it upon herself to coordinate every little detail from helping me pick vendors to decorating our trellis and venue -- this wedding could not have been possible without her.
Blackthorn Club and their team were invaluable in making our wedding truly special. Every guest and family member marveled at the quality of service, professionalism, and delectable menu.
My husband and I enjoyed our day because we didn't have to worry about a single thing. We get to look back on our wedding day and remember the moment and none of the stress and this couldn't have been possible without this truly amazing team. Thank you Blackthorn Club :)
