    The place was gorgeous and they make recommendations on what to do and have. They were able to make all the arrangements necessary for my other vendors to come in and make my day special! Great place!!!!

    Barb did an amazing job along with my planner Jamie Veirs. I couldn't have asked for a better day to have a wedding out back in the garden! The staff was amazing and the food was wonderful! Everyone kept telling me how much fun they had, and how beautiful the venue was. Living in Texas and planning a wedding in Florida, made it even harder to imagine how it would all come together. I cant thank Barb and her staff enough for making our day so complete! Victoria Gardens is a wonderful venue and I couldn't have been happier! Thank You so much!

    Barb did a wonderful job at my wedding. I had no idea where to start with planning, but she was very helpful and offered several tips. The ceremony was beautiful and the reception is still being talked about, weeks after the wedding. Highly recommended!

    The grounds at Victoria Gardens are also very well kept and the location is peaceful. This is an easy find from I-95 and I-4, which is a plus for your guests.

    The food at the reception was delicious, as well as the champagne.

    It was such a pleasure working with Barbara Sternett at the Club at Victoria Gardens. Barbara was very organized and meticulously supervised every detail of the wedding from the ceremony rehearsal all the way through the reception. The outside venue was beautifully decorated with an arbor and seating for the guests. The Club is a gorgeous facility with everything that was needed for dining and dancing - it was so nice having the ceremony and reception in the same location. It made my job as an officiant very easy because Barb coordinated every detail of the ceremony from the set up of chairs to the entrance of the bridal party. Thank you Barb for all of your extra effort and for taking care of every detail. Most sincerely, Rose Mary Miller, Officiant

    I had next to no idea where to start my planninmg before talking to Barbara, she was so happy to work with us, to get things going and as time went on everything just fell into place. The decorations were perfect and the food was excellent, everyone at the wedding was very surprised. Thank you again Barbara.

    Barb was very attentive to detail. She kept in touch but was not pushy. We were having so much fine at our daughter's wedding that we extended our reception time. She was eager to help and provided a great waiting staff.

    The food was fresh, hot and delicious!

    The venue was beautiful and would definitely recommend The Club at Victoria Gardens.

    We found that the Catering Manager (Barb) to be extremely professional and personal in providing a memorable special day in our lives. Barb's suggestions and ideas made the planning of our wedding stress free. Her referals to the officiant and photographer were outstanding. Her staff made all our guests feel welcomed as well as providing an awesome evening.

    We would highly recommend Barb and her staff for all your future wedding planning.

    Barb was very accomodating to all the needs of my large wedding. She kept everything running smooth, even though my family was late and we started 30 minutes behind. Whenever there was a problem, she simple said, "don't worry diana, ill handle it." I would recommend future brides to come and check out the club at victoria gardens before deciding on any other venue for their big day. Thanks barb!

    Not a happy Bride to be

    They confirmed the date, the area of the wedding with going on two visits to view. I sent my save the date cards to Kim to review and she told me yes, go ahead and mail out we are all good! I mailed them out for 100 guests with Victoria Gardens already printed on the cards.
    We were told we needed to meet with the new chef/manager, we came in spent our Saturday morning meeting with him about the menu, etc. We were all very excited, he emailed after meeting to confirm and very excited as well and then two days later he emailed us and said they could no longer hold our wedding at their venue, and he felt they were not the right venue for us. What???? I called, no answer, no call back. I had to call consistently until I talked to the person in charge, which actually got fired after this whole incident. With that said, they did not even return our emails as to reasoning for all of this. Extremely unprofessional and poorly managed. They are not responsive when asked to get back to you. They are not consistent in their promises. Lastly, we are still looking for a venue because of here. Highly causing a lot of stress, including family coming in from out of town that planned travel, ahead of time, etc. So beware as all you get here is major disappointment! I have been coming here with my friend who is a resident for many years and have enjoyed the amazing pool and facilities so extremely disappointed!

    BRIDES BEWARE! I just got married here last weekend. The venue was absolutely beautiful. However, not worth the hassles I went through. From false promises to unprofessional staff, I had a number of bad experiences. To list a few:
    -3 of my 4 meetings at Victoria Gardens, I was dealing with someone different each time. There was no consistency. Not exactly comforting to a nervous bride.
    -full parking lot when we pulled in. Clubhouse was supposed to be empty. After all, isn't that what renting a place is? Not in this case. They double booked and had another event going on until 3pm, my ceremony was at 4pm. Setting up for my reception was delayed because they ran out of glasses due to this other event. And. Let me express how awkward it was to have my intimate moment of putting on my wedding dress be ruined by complete strangers staring at me. No to mention these random people walking around, looking through my bridal stuff and touching things.
    -air conditioning was broken, they denied it. However, my cake was melting... they never offered to refrigerate.
    -rude staff to my family, dj and wedding party. Thankfully, my guests were oblivious.
    -servers made a plate in front of everyone, and took it to eat. This was not in my contract. This was $24/plate. Very tacky and unprofessional.
    -promised a station for my guests to drink water, lemonade, etc. This is Florida, it was hot. People wanted water. Instead, guests were forced to purchase all drinks.

    IF you choose this venue, get EVERY little tiny detail in writing. I can only hope your experience is nothing like mine. I had really high hopes because of convenience and just how beautiful victoria gardens is. It is sad that my experience was as poor as it was.
