The Club at The Strand Reviews

I can't express how thankful I am for Taylor & Jacki! It seems so rare to encounter people with high-quality work ethic and true passion for their job. It is very clear these ladies have that. If you are looking for a venue that genuinely cares about your wedding day and also has quality knowledge and expertise with logistics and aesthetics- THIS is your venue. Not to mention, the remodel is gorgeous! The ballroom & grille room are bright, clean, and new. A dream reception & cocktail hour space. Their outdoor botanical garden speaks for itself- the greenery in the background of our ceremony was perfect. My gratitude is never-ending. I am so thankful & satisfied I made the choice to get married at The Strand.

Hi Ladies!

I wanted to thank you both from the bottom of my heart for all you did to make Kayla and BJs wedding day run smoothly! You both come from a place of “I can do that”, “no problem” , “everything will be taken care of” which is all a mother of the bride or anyone involved in the wedding planning wants to hear. So thank you again. We were blessed that you arrived at the Strand just in time to make our day perfect! You two are going to make the Strand an even more sought after wedding venue in Naples!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I got married here May 28th 2022, Angie was so helpful and responsive from beginning to end. She took over for another planner and did not skip a beat. The day was awesome and the strand crew made everything go smoothly, everyone's food was hot and well proportioned. I had the ceremony in the courtyard which with the trees providing shade made the day not so hot. The reception was inside which we used both ballrooms and side room to have 2 bars to efficiently serve all 170 guests.

Due to Hurricane Ian we had to move our venue no less than 4-weeks before our wedding, which was stressful even though I am a wedding planner. I called so many venues and finally found The Club at the Strand and was so thankful they had our date available. We worked with Vanessa who ensure we were getting exactly what we were getting from our other venue & some more! Vanessa was very easy to work with and helped us move quickly to change venues. On the day of the wedding she went above and beyond to ensure we were taken care of, even coming in early to let us into our getting ready rooms. The food was also exceptional and our guests are still talking about it. Although we had envisioned another venue, The Club at the Strand was actually the best choice for us. It matched our wedding vibe perfectly and was the best place for us to get married! We highly recommend this venue if you want a classic, stress free & beautiful wedding venue!

We could not have asked for a more perfect day. We had our ceremony and reception outside in the garden area. It was absolutely beautiful! Andrea helped so much with all of the food and beverage packages and the set up. Our guests loved the venue. We highly recommend!

The people at The Strand made our daughter's wedding a beautiful and smooth experience. Everything was perfect, the place, the food, the details, and their organization!
Lauren helped us from the very beginning with all the information regarding vendors, food and our budget. We are very pleased with The Strand

After some turnover in the banquet department and planning a wedding during “Covid” Andrea and her team exceeded our expectations. Andrea and her team were absolutely amazing and made our day perfect!

We’re so happy we decided to get married at The Strand! Having our ceremony and reception in the garden made the day seamless. We had our cocktail hour on the Terrance to give staff time to make small adjustments in the garden between events. Andrea was the third event coordinator we worked with throughout the year-and-a-half planning process, but jumped right in, making sure we never missed a beat! sAndrea made multiple creative suggestions to my concerns: having transportation pull right up to the garden side parking lot to avoid people walking past our pre-ceremony photos; providing some cocktail hour goodies to my wedding party while we took photos so they didn’t miss the delicious food; moving our champagne wall in between the ceremony and cocktail hour to best guide our guests; the list goes on!

The Strand’s string lights over the garden and palm trees wrapped in lights make for the perfect outdoor backdrop at night. We absolutely love how everything looks in all of our photos! Thank you to Andrea and her staff for making our wedding day a dream.

Our daughter was married at The Strand on October 24th, 2020. It was a fabulous experience beginning to end. The grounds were immaculate and the food and service was top-notch. Andrea, the events coordinator, even had the groom’s new watch fitted on the day of the wedding. Such a magical location. Highly recommended.

The wedding coordinator, Lauren, was so great to work with! We had a rainy wedding, and Lauren did her best to keep it outside for us on the patio. We had to move inside last minute and her staff did an amazing job. Everything was beautiful and the food was delicious!

The place is stunning and the food was amazing !

We just celebrated our wedding at The Club at The Strand and all I can say is .... WOW! First off, we visited several venues in the surrounding areas and from the minute we walked into The Strand, I knew it was the one... not to mention incomparable pricing! From the absolutely breathtaking outdoor botanical garden to the whimsical indoor ballroom, every space is filled with beauty! Lauren and her staff are nothing but professional and personable. She was on top of every detail and made sure the day itself ran without a hiccup. All of our guests were in awe of the venues layout and we could not agree more. We had an outdoor ceremony, followed by cocktail hour on the terrace with the reception indoors. It all flowed so seamlessly and the staff was extremely attentive from beginning to end. Shout out to the Chef for nailing everyone's meal with impeccable timing on plated service (side note: The Petite Grilled Aged Cheddar Cheese Sandwich hor devours was a huge hit among our guests!). All in all - The Club At The Strand deserves an 11 out 10. It was more than we could have asked for. - Julie & Joe Pignatano

We were married on 3/9/19 at the Strand in Naples. I begin to describe how wonderful this venue is. Everyone talked about how beautiful and unique the wedding was. We searched far and wide for a perfect venue and we were thrilled with the way everything came out. The food was absolutely phenomenal and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and requests. I also can't express just how wonderful the event coordinator Lauren Wolf is. She is an absolute pleasure to work with. I'm so glad we chose the Strand!

Lauren and her staff were awesome to work with. They accommodated all of our requests and answered all of our questions promptly. Our guests raved about the food and the unique outdoor space, beautiful landscaping and lighting.

Working with Lauren and all staff at the Strand made our wedding planning experience so easy! Our wedding day was flawless. Everyone warns you about something going wrong when you're planning a wedding, but our experience was truly perfect. Great value and would highly recommend!

This venue is so beautiful. We had an amazing day! Lauren Wolf was great! Very responsive and professional. I would highly recommend this venue and Lauren ! Thank you for all you did.

We had an amazing time at The Strand. Everything was absolutely perfect. Lauren and the rest of the staff were so helpful and nice. The day could not have gone better!

I recently had my wedding at The Strand and it was absolutely beautiful! Lauren Wolf was incredible to work with and made my day seamless. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a perfect wedding location. I am still receiving compliments on how wonderful it was! :)

Our wedding at The Strand couldn’t have been more perfect. We had our ceremony and reception both outside in the botanical gardens area. I LOVE the outdoor area at this venue and think the beauty of it being uncovered is part of what makes it so unique (not to mention all of the amazing lights). The food and drinks were phenomenal and all of our guests are still talking about the excellent staff and beautiful venue. Lauren and her assistant Dakota were so friendly, helpful and always responsive when we had questions throughout the planning process. They made sure our day was exactly what we wanted. I can’t thank them and their team enough for making it the best day and would recommend The Strand to anyone on the search for a wedding venue (especially if looking for outdoors).

After a very thorough search for the perfect outdoor wedding venue in Naples, we discovered The Club at the Strand. We found some very nice venues but none as spectacular as The Strand. To our surprise it was within our price range and also had a gorgeous indoor ballroom option for 160 people.  The outdoor venue is a magical botanical garden with amazing lighting!

In addition, their wedding coordinator, Lauren Wolf, and her staff are all real pros! They were so accommodating and experienced and made the planning process very easy. Lauren helped us with the entire planning process and also ran the entire “day of” timeline with her new assistant, Dakota.

Their award winning chef gave us many options to choose from and the food presentation was beautiful. 

Their vendor list included the best, most in-demand vendors of Naples and on the wedding day everything went off without a hitch! 

Everyone told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to!  I highly recommend The Strand as the best value and most beautiful outdoor venue in Naples!

Once I walked in The Club at the Strand, I knew instantaneously that it had to be my wedding venue. I cannot stress enough how beautiful this venue is, inside and outside. The staff was amazing to work with. Lauren, the venue coordinator, was very meticulous and easy to work with. The menu had a lot of varied options and all of my guests enjoyed their meals. Just be aware that the price of alcohol is on the higher side, but they are willing to work out something that fits your budget.

WE LOVE THE STRAND! Truly, SO thankful for this wonderful place, and amazing staff. My wedding here was an absolute dream. Lauren Wolf, the wedding coordinator is seriously amazing. She ran around all day to ensure everything I wanted was occurring. Here is a short back story: We originally booked a different venue (mainly due to location, as we live in Cape Coral) in October of 2017. Well.... come June 2018 (three months before our wedding) we received a phone call from that original venue, saying "We are going under construction, you'll have to find a new venue - sorry!" To say I had a bridezilla moment was a complete understatement. My husband looked at me and said "Now what?" The first place I could think of with a very similar look (botanical gardens, country club feel, etc) was the Club at The Strand. We called on a Friday evening around 6pm and got in touch with Lauren. Luckily for us, our date was not yet booked, we did a tour the following morning, and had booked the Strand within 36 hours of that mess! Lauren was so open to communicate any thought, concern, question or idea I had. She was open and honest and very mindful of our budget. Every little detail that I was so stressed and overwhelmed with all came to life the day of our wedding and it was PERFECT. I want to also mention just how elegant the venue it's self is. We had our ceremony in the gardens, and reception inside. I'm still receiving texts and comments about the place. Cocktail hour was also inside in the bar area, however there is a beautiful patio right outside bar area with an amazing view, perfect for pictures! I was told by many of the guests the bar service was impeccable and the appetizers were delicious. Our dinner was buffet style, salmon, chicken and steak. SO delicious! I could go on for days with how grateful I am to have had a perfect wedding, at a beautiful venue, and work with an amazing person like Lauren. If you choose the Strand, you too will have a perfect day! <3

My wedding at The Strand was everything I could have ever imagined it to be! My fiancé and I looked at so many venues and this one fell into our laps. Lauren was absolutely fantastic from the very first moment I contacted her. She always emailed me back right away with answers to any question I could possibly have and helped me plan a wedding in about 6 months. She was so friendly, knowledgeable, and made me feel like we have already known each other for years. The venue itself was gorgeous and the food was to die for. The recommendations they give for our vendors were no disappointment either. It was amazing to see my wedding come to life the day of— every detail, every little thing I could have stressed and worried about turned out PERFECT! If I ever have any life event going on I would without hesitation have it at The Strand!

There aren't enough words to say how amazing Lauren Wolf and her team were. Please note that if you book your event here, there is no need for planners, as Lauren and her team will take care of everything. The food was delicious and all my guests are still raving about it. The chef was open to accommodating other food choices and he made them delicious and appealing. (I asked for Paella, he not only said absolutely, he made the best Paella ever!) The venue is elegant and sophisticated, very clean and recently remodeled. Everything was beautiful and I couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue. Lauren is extremely patient, responsive and accommodating. My wedding was fantastic and I have to say, Lauren was a big part of the reason why. I would absolutely host another event at The Club at The Strand.
