Orange Tree Golf Club Reviews

Our daughter's wedding reception was absolutely perfect at Orange Tree. From the moment I first sent a reception inquiry to loading up the wedding gifts after the affair, we were attended to promptly, professionally and most important - personally. Jennifer is a master at what she does, attending to the smallest details and going above and beyond, solving for those unexpected events (that always happen!) leaving the bride and her family to just ENJOY the party. I wouldn't hesitate to hold another wedding reception there and eagerly refer others to Orange Tree Resort Mariposa Ballroom, Jennifer's coordination, excellent food and professional wait staff.

If you want a relaxed, but perfect wedding experience, I highly recommend that you coordinate an outdoor patio wedding with Jennifer (director of catering and special events). As a bride that dreaded planning her wedding, I was relieved that Jennifer was easy going, but incredibly detailed. She went out of her way on several of our desires, but not necessities. Here’s some of the small non-contract things that delighted us:
1. Coordinating electrical requirements for our band
2. Securing our favorite local craft beer (Four Peaks Hazy)
3. Executing a hyped golf cart grand entrance
4. Plating salads for toasts prior to a buffet style dinner
She also was helpful in food selection and overall layout of the wedding. Pair her with the venue recommend wedding planner (The Wedding Troupe), and you will have a superstar duo that will supersede your and your guest’s expectations.

My husband and I got married in February 2022 at Orange Tree Golf Resort and it was perfect. It was picturesque and the most perfect day. We worked with the on-site wedding coordinator, Jennifer, leading up to and on our wedding day. She was wonderful and answered all of our questions promptly. She worked with our wedding planner and other vendors to ensure our event went seamlessly.

Side Note:
If you do book your wedding at Orange Tree Golf Resort, just know that the hotel is a separate entity. You will have to work with Extra Holidays/Wyndham separate from Jennifer.

My husband and I are absolutely thrilled with Orange Tree Golf Club as our wedding reception venue. We don’t have a single critique - the food was amazing, the staff were professional, responsive, kind and efficient and the coordinator, Jennifer, is such a gem! The ballroom turned-out looking magical, too. Many thanks to Jennifer, Pattie and Orange Tree Golf Club for an outstanding experience!

We shopped different venues, and for the value and the beauty of the place would recommend. The staff from the catering dept, to the hotel went above and beyond expectations.

Had such a wonderful time and the staff was so friendly. Most amazing memories.

When we first began planning our daughter’s wedding, we had no idea how difficult it would be trying to do it 1,000 miles away in Austin, Texas. The very first thing we did was search for the perfect venue that could not only host both the wedding and reception together but would also give us the most for our budget. Initially we began working with Janea who was very patient and answered all our questions. Since we were 1,000 miles away, we were unable to do a walk-through of the venue, so Janea sent us photos of the space and grounds and made it easier for us to visualize it. As we were getting closer to the original wedding date, Covid decided to complicate matters and we were forced to move the date out a year. By that time, Janea was furloughed, so we then began working with Jennifer Zuraikat – who, in the end, ended up being our saving grace. From the very beginning, Jennifer was AMAZING. She always took the time to answer all my emails – and there were A LOT. If I had a question that she could not answer right then, she would let me know and would quickly get that answer for me. She was very sweet and professional from beginning to end. I always had tons of questions about everything, and she was always there for me when I needed her with so much patience!

When we arrived at Orange Tree Golf Club, we were blown away by how gorgeous the grounds were. The view was so beautiful that we had decided to keep decorating to a minimum for the ceremony outside at the gazebo. While we were setting up outside, the foyer and the ballroom, her staff was there, ready to help with whatever we needed to make sure that everything was perfect. We had over 200 candles that we needed lit for the cocktail hour in the foyer and the reception in the ballroom, which staff took care of for us.

Ten minutes before the ceremony was to begin, I was informed that our DJ was a no-show. While I was outside the venue trying desperately to get in touch with the DJ, Jennifer came out and assured us that everything would work out, that if we could not get in touch with the DJ, that they had a PA system that we could hook up to a cell phone with a playlist if needed. Fortunately, we had a guest who had DJ’d, so Jennifer had the staff bring in the PA system, got it hooked up and by the time the guests were ready to enter the ballroom for the reception, everything was set up and we were able to have music and dancing for our guests. There are no words to describe how appreciative we are for all that Jennifer did for us. Through all the chaos, panic and tears, she remained professional, calm and did what she could to make sure that the rest of the evening went smoothly.

The food – we were a little nervous since our daughter had chosen a plated meal of filet mignon, mashed potatoes and asparagus instead of buffet. We were unsure with how many plates had to be distributed, if it would remain at least warm by the time they got to each guest table. We worried for nothing – the hors d’ouvres and our meal were DELICIOUS and HOT! Each tray of food was covered with cloches, which helped keep the meals hot when they were placed at each table. All the guests raved about the food and were blown away by the quality and quantity – one of the best meals we have ever had at a wedding.

Overall, our daughter’s wedding was beautiful. We still get compliments from guests on how great of a time they had and how beautiful the venue was. Everyone from our event planner Jennifer to the waitstaff to the kitchen staff were so sweet and helpful and made it possible for our daughter to have her dream wedding come true. Everyone was easy to work with and made planning an out of state wedding effortless. If anyone is considering Orange Tree Golf Club for their wedding – DO IT!!! And make sure to ask for Jennifer – you will not be disappointed!!!

We loved working without Orange Tree for our wedding! They were very accommodating and everything went smoothly. They were wonderful at day of coordination and also handled all the details of the wedding so well. So easy to work with and very affordable. We feel like we got our dream wedding without breaking the bank, which makes me so happy!

Kristin Carter was wonderful! Her and the catering staff pulled off our wedding flawlessly! My husband and I were very happy with the venue, the staff, how they set up my vision decoration wise, and the food was delicious. We can’t say enough food things about how our wedding went!

From the moment we began exchanging emails, Kristin was incredibly responsive. No matter the question, no matter the issue, no matter the time of day, she always put our minds to ease. Coming from Calgary, Alberta, we had a pile of requests and questions but Kristin made everything so easy for us. We had the most beautiful wedding imaginable. If you are wondering whether or not you should use the package services offered by Orange Tree, DO IT! The value, service, and outcome was well worth it from Erin Ashlee Photography, Jeremy (the DJ), Leslie (Leapin Lilys flowers) and Brian from Oh My Goodness Cakes (he made us AMAZING cupcakes!!!). We also received exceptional service from the front desk staff/concierge at Orange Tree Resort. It made accommodations a breeze for our guests, up to around 120 people that were coming from Canada, the U.K., and Switzerland. They did their best to place us in rooms that were close together and the shuttle service from the lobby to our rooms was very convenient. The only concern from our guests was The Grove restaurant staff seemed overwhelmed and slow at times. Perhaps this was because they were understaffed (especially during the breakfast rush) and couldn't seem to accommodate all of our guests quickly and promptly. But, from an event standpoint, the day-of and evening celebrations at Orange Tree could not have gone smoother and I would HIGHLY recommend this location. Kristin is an absolute dream to work with and will do everything she possibly can to make this the best day of your life. It was for us!

WOW WOW WOW!! There really aren't enough words to describe how incredible our experience and our wedding was with Kristin and the whole crew at Orange Tree.
To start, we began looking at reception venues about 2 years before our actual wedding and just so happened upon Orange Tree at one of their open houses (which we would highly recommend attending if you are at all considering Orange Tree for your wedding!). It was here that we fell in love with the resort and, perhaps more important, Kristin Carter. I think we visited Orange Tree 3-4 times before finally choosing a date and saying "YES!" to the venue and boy are we glad we did!
Our wedding was beyond perfection. The ballroom was out-of-this-world beautiful (especially thanks to the ceiling draping, market lighting, and chandelier from Orange Tree!), the food was delicious (medium rare filet mignon was a HUGE hit!), and our wedding was a party from the get-go. Our guests had a great time and we couldn't be happier to have begun our wunderful lives together by celebrating at Orange Tree.
Thank you for everything, Kristin, you were incredible and we can't say enough great things about you and Orange Tree! Thank you for making our wedding dreams a reality!! :)

Written words to not even begin to give an accurate description of how WONDERFUL Kristen, Patty, Orange Tree Golf Resort and all of the vendors who helped create the most beautiful wedding ever.
Kristen is awesome. Every request or question was answered quickly. Not once did I feel any of the "panic" moments that you plan on when putting together a wedding. From the first meeting, I knew we were in good hands.
Thank you for making our vision and dream wedding come true. It is a day that will be remembered by many friends, family and especially us. With extreme thanks!!!! Erin and Jeff

We had our wedding at Orange Tree and everything turned out better than we could have hoped for. We had our food tasting with the caterer a few months before the wedding and were blown away with how great the food was for the price. They also have a great priced bar package with a very nice alcohol selection. On our wedding day the staff were super attentive to everyone's needs. The guests were blown away with the chicken and steak dishes that we chose for dinner, and had a great experience with the bar service.

Our daughter and her fiance previewed several reception venues while planning their wedding. After their meeting Kristin Carter (Orange Tree Resort, Director of Catering), the decision was much easier to make final. They were so very impressed with Kristin's professionalism and overall genuine care and thoughtfulness. Words cannot express our gratitude for the most beautiful wedding reception for our daughter. Kristin remained readily accessible throughout the entire planning process and especially on day of a wedding. All 200+ guests enjoyed a most memorable evening. Our hearts are full! A heartfelt thank you to Kristin, the chef, bar servers and the entire catering staff. To your continued success in celebrating LOVE with newlyweds in the Grand Ballroom!

Had the most beautiful wedding reception. Kristin, Director of Catering, was so easy and fun to work with :)

Easy to work with very professionally everything was on time

Kristen Carter and Patty Packard were so very helpful during the entire process. They helped Carole and I plan our beautiful wedding. All of the guests raved about the setting and the completeness of the event. It was a very beautiful day ceremony and reception.

We were so lucky to have found this venue for our Wedding reception. We were on a budget and had been looking around for several months. Not only was this venue perfect but we got more than anticipated. Food was great, alcohol package amazing, cake turned out wonderful, and of course the best part of it all was working with Kristen Carter! She was fantastic and helped me every step of the way!

Our wedding was absolutely incredible! We could not have been happier with this venue and the Wedding Coordinator-Kristin! Very responsive and easy to work with during the planning process. Everything went exactly as planned, we highly recommend the signature filet as an entree as well as the cake vendor provided as part of our wedding package. Definitely a great deal compared to many of the overpriced Venues throughout the valley...we looked at quite a few.

Our guests stayed at the resort as many came in from out of town. The bell staff was great, rooms were spacious, and the tempurpedic bed very easy to get a good night rest.

An amazing night! Amanda and I couldn't have been happier and would recommend orange tree to anyone! Amazing staff!!!

Kristen Carter and everyone that helped plan, organize and execute our Rehearsal Dinner and Wedding went above and beyond every expectation my husband and I had! Kristen was there throughout the whole process, and took all of the stress off of our shoulders. My husband and I both work crazy hours, and had no time to sit down an plan anything other than the date, the colors, the theme and put together a guest list. Kristen and her team listened to our minimal input, and were able to create the most beautiful wedding we have ever seen. She also recommended every vendor we used, which saved us the stress of searching and/or being disappointed with the end product. Not only did everything turn out beautifully, but every Orange Tree staff member involved went out of his/her way to make our special day stress free!

Friendly staff, helpful & professional. Always willing to listen & help. Made the best accommodations for everyone. My only disappoint was that we did not get the rooms we requested days prior to the wedding & the day of the wedding we got to switch to the rooms we had originally requested which made it slightly chaotic , however staff was quick to help and made the transition smooth& easy , especially Randall & Josh :)

Kristin was wonderful to work with and kept everything as easy as possible to make our special day perfect.

I loved having my reception at Orange Tree. Kristin was great to work with. The entire staff the night of the reception was incredible!! They took such good care of us. The food was great, too. This is a beautiful venue.

Our experience was absolutely perfect! Kristen was incredible to work with. The wedding was all we wanted it to be. The staff at orangetree was so accommodating. They took great care of us. We are completely satisfied. I can't say enough about Kristen Carter!!!!
