The Architects Golf Club Reviews

We knew from the beginning that we wanted a tented venue with a nice backdrop, so when I came across Architect's Golf Club in my search, it immediately caught my eye. From the moment that we met with Julie, we felt so comfortable and at ease. Julie and her team worked so well with us on pricing, dates, and menu choices that it almost seemed too good to be true. They were VERY affordable and willing to work with us on making sure we had everything we needed within our budget.

On our wedding day, we truly did not have to worry about a thing. MAJOR shoutout to Kristin, the day of coordinator. Oh my god. We met with her in person the day before the wedding and again, we immediately felt at ease. She truly had it all together and her and her team worked so hard the day of our wedding to make sure everything was exactly how we envisioned it. We cannot thank her enough.

Our wedding was everything we wanted it to be -- from the views, the delicious food (we got so many compliments from our guests on the food), the drinks (Kristin even helped us come up with our signature ones), the beautiful tent, and the people who made it all happen. I would recommend Architects to any couple looking for a low key but stunning venue, with the best people who run it!!! You will not be disappointed!

My daughter and son in law were recently married at the Architects Golf Club. Everything was amazing! The venue, especially with the view of the golf course, was beautiful. Kristin was so helpful, always checking in on everyone and going above and beyond! Gabriel was very friendly, making sure everyone was having a good time with cigars and drink!

Thank you to the entire staff!

This is a beautiful venue and to compliment that, from the very first moment we set foot on the property Brad created a welcoming and friendly environment filled with professionalism and the willingness to do whatever it took to make this our very special day. Brad made every effort to make sure our wishes were met and if there were any requests which could not be readily accommodated Brad found a way in which to make it work. Right from the start Brad said it was our special day and made every effort to guarantee it was. The venue only supports one event per day truly ensuring the entire day was ours. He adjusted the beverage choices to have our favorites available and without blinking an eye met my dietary needs, specifically having the teams prepare everything I was given to eat lactose free. Not to mention, our guests raved about the food for a while after the wedding and we were definitely pleased. They were able to provide alternate suggestions in case of rain which we had earlier in the day. Despite the spotty rain, Brad and the team were able to complete the decorating outside and we were able to have our guests witness our vow exchanges outside just as we had envisioned.
Working with Architects and Brad was one of the best experiences we have had making our day a memorable one. We highly recommend Architects for any type of occasion, especially a second wedding such as ours!

Everything about the wedding planning was so easy thanks to Brad and our day of coordinator, Kristin. They were so accomodating and made everything including the day of feel so stress free. Would 1000% reccomend this venue to anybody who's looking to have an amazing wedding.

We had our dream wedding at Architects Golf Club (AGC in September 2023. The venue is absolutely stunning. If you haven’t visited, I encourage you stop on by. The food served here is delicious.

The entire AGC team was supportive, responsive, and very professional from the day we selected the venue and up to and including the wedding date. I want to give a special shout out to Brad Schultz who was with us from day 1 and supported us in every way needed. The entire team really did an outstanding job making the entire process as stress-free as possible for us.

If you are torn and have to select between AGC and a few other venues for you wedding (like we were), I would strongly suggest AGC! We’re so glad we did!

We got married at Architects back in June 2023 and it truly was the BEST decision we made regarding our wedding. Everything was flawless - the venue and their flexibility and willingness to help, the incredible food, but most important the staff. Brad - the director of food and beverage - was quick to reply to questions, accommodated literally anything we needed/asked for, and genuinely cared about us as people first. And Kristin was unbelievable with all the finishing touches, made sure the day went perfectly, and helped recommend a lot of decor options to us that looked incredible. They are just the best team, and we couldn’t recommend them more!!!

Architects Golf Club was a great venue for an incredible value. We would highly recommend. The staff was great to work with and very responsive during the planning process.

Our wedding was on July 16th, 2023 and it was such an unforgettable day. Some people say that it is normal if your wedding day does not meet your expectations, but for us it was the opposite. It was truly the best day ever and I wouldn't have changed a thing! It rained for most of the wedding, but Kristin, Brad and the team were quick on their feet and adjusted accordingly. During the entire day, we did not have to worry about a thing, and were just able to enjoy ourselves. You can tell that they love what they do and we felt like a part of the family. The whole team was amazing and made the entire day magical. The venue itself is also very beautiful, and all of our guests were amazed by the scenary.

Throughout the entire planning process, Kristin and Brad were very responsive and accessible and did everything in their power to make the process as stress-free as possible. If we had any concerns or questions (which we had quite a few), one phone call or email from them made us feel less stressed.

When beginning to look at venues, our priority was having an all inclusive venue. The architect was the clear winner since it included catering, rentals, etc. The only other vendors we needed to hire were photography, officiant, DJ, and florals, and Kristin worked directly with all of the vendors to make sure that everyone knew the timing of the events. The food was amazing and all of our guests loved it! I just wish we were able to eat more of it lol but we were having too much fun.

Most venues have a day of coordinator if they even have a coordinator, but Kristin starts to reach out around 2 months before the wedding day. This is a great benefit because Kristin knows the space and has a ton of experience working with couples at that venue. The staff's attention to detail was remarkable. They went above and beyond to make our dream wedding a reality.

The golf club's picturesque setting combined with the dedicated team's efforts created an enchanting atmosphere that left us and our guests in awe. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue to celebrate our love. Thank you to the entire team for making our wedding day truly magical!

Brad and his staff were nothing short of amazing. We had a few vendor difficulties and brad was always there to help us in anyway he could to relieve the stress. Brad was flexible with our food and beverage menus and made the day of a breeze and stress free. On top of the great scenery, We highly recommend this venue due to Brad and his staff.

I cannot say enough good things about our experience at Architects. Brad and Kristen and the whole staff were AMAZING!!! Our wedding day was honestly so perfect. They made sure everything went smoothly, and made sure we had anything we needed. They were so on top of everything from decorations to day of coordination of all of our bridal party and family members. Our wedding was everything we could’ve hoped for and more. Truly a fairytale. Thank you!!!

Brad and Kristin and their team were phenomenal in making our wedding day worry free. As a bride who pla Ned everything...its hard to let go and let others take the reigns.

Brad and Kristin were so personable and made the day so care free. They really were responsive to every question I had and helped wherever they could!

The venues ground are wonderful for pictures and they provide a cart to get all over the venue. Thank you so much for such wonderful stay leading up to and the day of our special celebration!

We booked the Architect's club over a year in advance of our wedding and we were so excited. They were nothing short of great to work with and it was the perfect venue for our wedding. Brad, in particular, is a dream to work with and ALWAYS made himself available to us. The day of our wedding went fairly smoothly as well, and we had a beautiful time. Our guests were raving.

I would give five stars across the board if not for the fact that the venue decided to add $10/a head to our price TWO WEEKS before our wedding. It was immensely stressful to have to rework our budget at such short notice. On top of that, there was issues with communication over adding last minute string light installation to our bill that resulted us being saddled with that extra cost last minute too. Again, it was stressful but once the day of the wedding arrived we had a great time, and the lights looked great, too.

Great venue that stuck with us through multiple Covid postponements and made things easy. Grounds are beautiful, food was great, pricing was fair and everyone had a great time. Amazing service we well. Would give my highest recommendation.

The Architects Golf Club venue is absolutely gorgeous. We chose it for the mountain views, but if the weather hadn't cooperated, we would have been more than content to have our wedding inside. The tent is huge and amazingly beautiful, the ballroom is a perfect balance of old style, but updated, and the rest of the venue such as the bridal suite, bathrooms, patio, and foyer are also amazing. Our photographers were fantastic, but the beautiful venue also made it easy to get great backgrounds and lighting. In addition to the venue itself being great, the people there are AMAZING!! Brad was SO responsive, SO friendly, SO easy to work with, SO perfect. We LOVED working with Brad. We planned our wedding from Texas, and Architects'/Brad's great communication made it easy. In addition to Brad, on the day of the staff were GREAT! They made sure that my husband and I ate, checked in with us to see if we needed anything, were flexible when the weather wasn't perfect, and went above and beyond to make the wedding day amazing. We are so so SO grateful we found Architects because they made our wedding day perfect.

We used Architect's for our venue. It was really nice! The day went by wonderfully and all of our guests commented on how beautiful the venue was and how nice the staff was. The only things we didn't like is that there was a large staff turnover, so we had 3 different contacts at the venue in our planning stages, which also seemed like they didn't talk much to each other. We also felt like the day of, they didnt really put out enough food and guests were hungry. They didn't refill the display stations and many guests missed out on a lot of the appetizers because they ran out. Otherwise, Brad was phenomenal!

After looking at many different tented venues during our wedding search, Architects won our hearts. We were married Oct.9, 2021. The scenery and value was perfect! We loved that there were options just in case of rain or the cold. We booked pre-pandemic, and unfortunately both of our food tastings were cancelled so we went into choosing food pretty blindly but on the day of the wedding everything was amazing from the cocktail hour to the buffet dinner we chose & pretzel station later on! We originally booked with Julie, but after she left Vicki took over and she helped us plan and answer all of our questions both in person and through email flawlessly. We loved how flexible Architects was, despite how nervous we were about the pandemic. About two weeks before the wedding, there was some confusion since Vicki had to take a leave, but Linda stepped in for her and helped us to plan every detail flawlessly despite barely knowing us (and us being a little neurotic of the change). All of our covid concerns were answered and worked with. On the day of the wedding, Linda, Jessica and everyone who worked there ensured we were comfortable and had what we needed while the bridal party was getting ready. It was so fun to take the golf carts out to take pictures all over the beautiful grounds for our first look! Jessica did a great job wrangling all of the bridal party and the guests throughout the night. The ceremony and reception went so smoothly and guests raved about the views and kept asking how we even found such a gorgeous place.
Our ONLY issue of the night was that a sewage truck (which was supposed to arrived earlier in the day) arrived right during the first dances to clean and some guests complained of the rancid smell. We were a little embarrassed when we were told about it by guests later on, but it did not take away from the fun and dancing of the rest of the night. Someone was always there to make sure our drinks were replenished and to ask if we needed anything. They even let us have a funfetti cake which was DELICIOUS and highly recommended!! Although the night goes so fast, we've just received our wedding pictures and are overjoyed by seeing all of our guests dancing, laughing, and having a great time at Architects! I would definitely recommend this venue to any bride!

This will be a long and thorough accounting of my November 2021 wedding experience.
I’ll start with the good things for my Architects Golf Club (later “AGC”) wedding celebration, as the list is shorter. The “day of” food and cake were very good, and the final set up of the reception room and ceremony space were nicely done.
Now, for the reasons this should be a 1 star rating if not for the above mentioned reasons. NOTHING went according to plan at this venue. There was constant re-planning as the wedding date got closer.
The wedding was originally set for 2020, but things changed for personal reasons (death of parent) and also the pandemic dampened things for everyone’s wedding planning, so our wedding at AGC took place in 2021. We didn’t get to have a food tasting, “due to the pandemic,” so we picked all of our food selections blind. Friends getting married elsewhere and earlier in 2021 had food tastings at their NJ venues, so it’s still unclear why that was not the case at AGC.
I started preparing the details in late 2019. From that time to the wedding this month, I had dealt with 4 different venue planners and essentially had to go over the details for my big day 4 times, and things were still missed, and altered by the venue last minute. On top of dealing with 4 different planners, we weren’t notified of the change in contact person, and discovered it when we went in for our final details meeting and no one was aware we were scheduled. *enter planner #3 that was plainly a “smoother,” who quickly passed some of the details from that meeting to final venue planner #4*
Result of these staffing changes and venue missteps? 1) First, we sat out in the cold on a patio without heaters for our rehearsal dinner on a 45 degree day. Why? They rented out the indoor seating space because “no one told the staff the space was already reserved,” though it was confirmed at our meeting with planner #3. So, my wedding party ate outdoors in the freezing cold the day before my big day, and we didn’t go elsewhere since no one is local and we didn’t want to add inconveniences to our family, as we’ve experienced with this wedding venue. 2) Next, our ceremony was moved from inside in front of the fireplace, where our florist created a floral plan during a walkthrough with venue planner #2, to outdoors in the heated tent THE DAY BEFORE our wedding, and a decision was wanted on the spot. 3) Also, my table linens matching my wedding palette, planned from 2019 with planner #1, “weren’t available” when being ordered the week before the wedding. 4) Most difficult to swallow, being the reason I picked this venue aside from the mountains surround, the cocktail hour was planned to be on the main level’s “Legacy Hall” with raised pub tables and an amazing wooden bar, and florals again planned around the aesthetic, BUT a couple weeks out I was emailed: “[the] Legacy Hall had a maintenance issue last weekend and is closed for repairs. Options for your cocktail hour will be the outside tent- which will be heated, or the main foyer.” When we arrived for rehearsal, we see the Legacy Hall space repurposed as a sitting area with a big screen TV for the golfers and nothing else about the space had changed or appeared closed for any repairs. 5) The day of – a bride should be relaxing and carefree; right, that’s the vision? A) I pulled to the entrance to unload my car with getting ready snacks, my dress, etc. The AGC owner walks in as I’m walking towards the doors and they close before I get to them hauling items (not held, not door stopped etc.) I go to and from my car to the bridal suite a few times (my bridesmaids aren’t local and got lost and delayed on the way over from their hotel, so I was first on scene solo) and on my last trip from the car, the owner (in a office beside the bridal suite) asked if I needed a hand, at which point it was comical. My girls arrive, and we pre set up and unbox the reception and cocktail hour items and go over placement with planner #4, while rotating out for hair and make-up in the bridal suite. B) The bridal suite floors were covered in dust (unearthed by hairspray application from our stylist). C) A water pitcher was set up from the day before it appeared, and we were thirsty from setting up, so requested fresh water; they oblige and bring it filled with ice water. Someone gulps it down, another fills a glass and sees white particles floating around the clear glass, gets another cup and the same white particles floating around. We stop drinking water. D) A bridesmaid sees a tray of coffee creamer, stirrers, sugar, and cups and asks for coffee; presumably a coffee jug should be present as well as water—1 cup of coffee is brought in, the bottom filled with an inch of coffee grounds. 6) Also, the groom’s and groomsmen getting ready locker room space, described as just the groom’s and groomsmen’s space for the big day, like the bridal suite is just the women’s, went over with planner #1 was false—the space was shared with day of golfers. The men were given unlocked lockers to put their items (who would use that?) and golfers used the bathrooms (loudly) inside the locker room and were in and out the entire time. HARDLY a “nice photographer opportunity” location as described when booking at the venue. 7) Lastly, the carving station meat was cut paper thin and they resisted wanting to give more than one piece. The reception and open bar was advertised as ours until 8pm, but they closed up at least 30 minutes beforehand and guests started trickling out, taking that as closing time.
Now, add up all of these missteps, what I boil down as rudenesses paired with bait and switch, and imagine being told you have an outstanding balance of just under $27 when it's all said and done.
After your wedding day, you should be basking in the joy of your perfect day: the smooth planning and execution, the friendly and accommodating staff. But instead we got reflecting on every moment leading up to it, and wishing we had eloped and saved ourselves all the white hairs and headaches. Brides, consider these things when booking this venue and at least be prepared for what you may very well be faced with as well. I don’t wish my experience on anyone else, so I had to post a recap in the effort of saving another wide eyed bride, envisioning her perfect day.

This venue is beautiful. It’s absolutely amazing. The food is delicious and the scenery is breathtaking.

I had a major issue when I came for my last meeting before my wedding when I was told that the woman Vicki no longer worked there. No one from the establishment bothered to reach out and notify us of a change of contact. Not even a simple email letting us know. Luckily, Jessica stepped in and made things so wonderfully right. I can’t thank her and her team enough for their help in making our special day so special.

We loved the venue as soon as we saw it but it was really the excellent service which made my daughter's wedding day so wonderful last Thursday. Our coordinator Vicki helped us as we planned the wedding and was brilliant anticipating and providing for our needs the day of, including all the elements and ritual needed for a Jewish wedding. There was not a glitch, it was an easy day and I was able to relax and enjoy the wedding. All of the staff were professional and truly kind. The menu was vegetarian/vegan and the chef rose to the challenge. Our wedding plans were COVID-safe and weather-dependent, and Architects smoothly and (invisibly to us) moved setups around to make refreshments and food available inside and out during our cocktail hour, which made everyone happy. We had the ceremony and reception in the airy tent with the lush view of waterfall, golf course and mountains in the background. The bridal suite and groom's room are spacious and well-appointed. Five out of five stars!

Our wedding at Architect’s Golf Club was a dream come true. We cannot recommend this venue and Vicki Malko, the Catering Director, enough. She helped us to plan every detail and even provided us special surprises throughout the night! From postponing due to covid, our rehearsal dinner and our wedding day, Vicki and Architect’s exceeded our expectations. We are so thankful to have found such an incredible venue for our wedding!!!

We had the most incredible experience working with Julie and her team at Architects. We booked about a year out, and Julie promptly answered any big or little questions I had about everything from food to decor to whether or not we'd be allowed on the course for photos (we were!). I loved her system at the final details meeting - they asked about everything from a receiving line to if we were doing a blessing before dinner. The day of, my husband and I didn't have to think about a thing. We just showed up and allowed Julie and her team to do their jobs perfectly! We dropped off our decorations the night before with loose instructions on how to set them up - they were beautiful! We wanted to take pictures on the course - they had a cart there within 5 minutes! We wanted extra rolls during dinner - they were there! It was the little details that mattered so much to us and we would recommend Architects to everyone. Also, I just want to say that we LOVED cocktail hour. They replenished the stationed hors dourves multiple times and we didn't have to chase down passed hors dourves. They treated every guest as a VIP and we can't thank them enough for the amazing job they did with our wedding day.

Julie was amazing throughout all my wedding planning and the wedding itself! Would definitely recommend the venue!

First of all, the views at Architects Golf Club are absolutely beautiful and everything I was looking for. Our guests complimented all night on how breathtaking the venue was and it made for really beautiful photos. Though the views were great, what really helped us make our decision was their flexibility with the weather. We had our ceremony on the patio and reception in the tent but in case of bad weather, there are 2 indoor areas to flip flop between ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. We lucked out with great weather but did rent a heater for the outdoor tent since it was chilly!

If all of that didn’t make you choose this amazing place - you need a Julie in your wedding planning. Seriously, amazing. Every brides worst nightmare is her DJ not showing up and yep, that was ALMOST me. Before I found out, Julie Hill with the Architects Golf Club already had a back up who could be there quickly and was already setting up their own speakers and compiling a list of our ceremony songs. Our DJ ended up showing up thank god but Julie was on top of everything. She and her crew had everything set up and made all of my wedding dreams come true. Her attention to detail was perfect. I would recommend Julie and the Architects Golf Club over and over. Absolutely amazing service and the most magical night ever.

Our wedding was absolutely perfect thanks for the Architect's Golf Club! Julie was absolutely amazing. Thanks to her, our wedding day was flawless. Julie was accommodating, flexible, professional, always able to get ahold of, and caring. Everything we asked for including the set-up of all of our decorations was perfect. The food was delicious and the cake was absolutely phenomenal. The Architect's really exceeded our expectations!
