User2068673 Sent on 03/16/2015We had our ceremony and reception at OLd South and it was AWESOME! We worked with Lara throughout the process and she was fantastic! From our first meeting until the end of the reception she was always available for us and made our wedding day so memorable. The golf course is beautiful and the food was excellent. We had the time of our lives and will never forget how wonderful the club and the staff was. I highly recommend this venue! -

Heather Sent on 05/29/2010The Old South Country Club is beautiful inside and out! All of the staff were accommodating and so pleasant! Cati Mitchell is absolutely amazing to work with! She is so sweet and helpful! Cati made sure that everything was done just how I wanted it and was so flexible in allowing me to bring things to the venue. She was always available to answer all of my questions and could be contacted via email or phone. The food was absolutely delicious! We served prime rib and chicken chesapeake. The prime rib was so tender and had very little fat. YUM! -

Monica Sent on 07/24/2012Overall, Old South was great. They only do one wedding a day, so that's nice. We could use the building any time we wanted. It was private- golfers on the course, but you could hardly tell and no one came up into the private space. You have to see to understand. For the wedding day, they did a good job serving everyone and keeping the bar moving. It was very nice. The grounds were also well-upkept, freshly painted and cleaned. Bridal suite was beautiful!
Downsides were- the turnover with the Catering Manager made communications difficult for awhile. The catering manager we ended up with- Diva Lynch, also made calculation errors and tried to blame everyone for it (she still owes us like $40). I rated value a little low because I didn't like having to pay for alcohol and the meal together, for kids and non-drinkers it felt priced too high. -
User1442252 Sent on 11/18/2013Old south is beautiful. We got shuffled around from event planner to event planner 3 times. It was scary, but the Tiffany enden up doing a great job. During the wedding I would have liked better service, as the bride I would have thought my water glass would have been kept full however i has to go to the bar myself to get water. In all we got lovely pictures and we had a great time. -
User1379534 Sent on 10/14/2013Old south is beautiful however the food service was not so great. As the bride I had to keep going to the bar and asking for water the glasses were never refilled. However, they did set up the room just as I asked and that was great. -
User1449040 Sent on 11/21/2013The Good: 1. The grounds are beautiful, especially in the fall. 2. The price was decent. For ~120 people, the final bill was under $20k, only $2k for the rental fee. 3. They do one wedding per day, and they seem to be flexible with arrival/departure times.
The Bad: 1 Communication: We liked our original POC Diva ,but she and her two replacements (Danny and Beth) were no longer our POCs by the wedding day. This led to a great deal of confusion within Old South and ultimately anxiety and stress for us. Communication and follow through are lacking. 2 Condition: The place is just kind of run down, which is a real shame. Doorknobs falling off, outdoor chairs with rips and stains (you basically have to cover them or rent chairs), dirty tent walls, floors with huge stains... there just isn't an attention to detail anywhere in the rental areas. It's a beautiful setting, so I'm not sure why these minor details aren't tended to. 3 Getting Ready: The bridal suite also housed an office and our POC Lara was working while I was getting ready for my wedding. It was awkward getting ready with her there. Also, the groom's room was not provided with food until after the wedding started. 4 Service: We were told we'd have two bars upstairs and we only had one. We heard complaints that one bartender was rude and couldn't make basic drinks, even the margarita that was approved weeks prior. As the bride and groom, we received very poor service - our wedding planner and photographer actually had to get our drinks at dinner. 5 Billing: There were repeated errors in the invoice, and it was not finalized until hours before the wedding.
Note: I did have a full-time wedding planner, so this was MUCH less painful than it could have been.
TL;DR - I can't in good conscience recommend Old South until they clean the place and get their act together when it comes to service, invoicing, and communication. Be sure to get all promises in writing if you book here!
