Black Gold Golf Club

My husband and I had our wedding (ceremony and reception) at Black Gold this past October. The venue is absolutely gorgeous, it's like something out of a dream. The food was so delicious and had many options to choose from. Madelon and Julie were absolutely great and VERY helpful! They emailed back answers to my questions either the same day or next day and were very flexible and responsive to our needs. Our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more, we couldn't have asked for anything else. All of our guests had nothing but compliments and nice words to say about the venue, food, and staff. We highly recommend this venue!

I loved having our Wedding at Black Gold! Everything was so beautiful and very professional. I coud not of asked for a better day on the hottest day of the year. The only thing our guests said was the line was too long to get a drink during the cocktail hour and hopefully in the future they will have more bar staff. Our crowd were big drinkers too. :)

*Review for the Wedding Venue* A friend of mine had her and her husband's wedding here. When my hubby and I got engaged, we started looking for venues and this was the first venue we visited since it was familiar and my friend really liked this place. When we did the tour, Julie Spencer, was really friendly and out going. She showed us the tour of the reception and ceremony locations. When I mentioned I really liked chiavari chairs, she was so nice to offer us the chairs for free! (normally, it's an upgrade of $7-10/chair). Overall, after our tour, hubby and I really liked how friendly she was and felt like we could get great service if we booked with them. After looking at other reception venues and meeting other directors, we didn't feel as welcomed and valued as Julie did for us. So, we ended up booking with Black Gold! In the beginning, we booked with Julie but ended up getting Madelon as our wedding coordinator. A wedding coordinator fee is mandatory, $400, at the time we booked. But I think it's worth to have a coordinator on the day of the wedding! You won't feel as stressed. Madelon did a great job on the day of our wedding. Julie and Madelon were pretty good with responding to our e-mails. Sometimes, it seemed like they didn't get our emails but they were probably bombarded with lots of brides e-mailing them it probably got lost in all of that! Also, the wedding coordinator does all the stuff related to Black Gold - tastings, day of wedding coordination, setting up candles/votives/pictures, trouble-shooting on the day of, and coordinating with your vendors. She doesn't do center pieces or hanging of non-Black Gold related decorations. There were a few requests we wanted and some mix-ups but they were very nice to make sure we were happy and made up for it by giving us some free appetizers on the day of our wedding! For the reception venue, you cannot hang anything on the walls with staples or tape since it is not allowed by the City of Yorba Linda, I think. Food: It was delicious! We got salmon and the stuffed flank steak and our guests told me they enjoyed the food very much! It was also very filling! Service: Great service. I think they try really hard to please the Bride and Groom. :) A few things to improve on: -I think probably a little bit more organization for the day of wedding rehearsal and wedding. I had given the information to Madelon when we met before the rehearsal but I think she confused me with another bride. And the day of the wedding, the schedule seemed different from what we gave the DJ so he was a little confused! But, it still worked out in the end. -Cake: I wasn't a fan of the cake too much. It comes with the package but it was just ok. -Complimentary golf passes are included in your wedding packages. Hubby wanted to play on a weekend, but we found out it is only valid Monday-Thursday. So, complimentary passes are not valid for weekends. You might be able to get a "discount" for the weekend. Hubby was kinda disappointed because he really wanted to play on the weekend with our passes! Overall, I think Black Gold is a beautiful venue. Great food. Good service. I would definitely recommend them! I'm so glad we booked them before their prices went up!! Short review for the golf: Hubby says it is one of the hardest courses he has played!

Black Gold was soooooo amazing!! Beautiful venue to get married at. All my guests are still raving about how good the food was. Such an awesome job. They were so nice and helpful with everything. Would recommend them to anyone looking to get married in that setting. So beautiful!

Overall, Black Gold is just wonderful!! Julie was great in getting us started, and Madelon definitely helped us through the process. The ground is kept beautiful - so no complaints there! It may be a bit too small for a wedding over 175, but other than that, it's highly recommended. My husband and I are very happy that we went with Black Gold. =)

I can not say enough about the staff at Black Gold. Julie and Madelon were AMAZING to work with; they were great through the entire process, as were the serving staff and bartenders. If I were to do it all over again, I wouldn't change my reception venue. We selected BG for our reception venue and could not have been more happier with how everything turned out from beginning to end. It was the BEST place for our special day.

I can only echo all the positive things said below about Julie and Black Gold Golf Club. Julie is downright AMAZING and AWESOME with her customer service and YES - SHE DOES CARE. She was very friendly, easy to get a hold of, very responsive, and extremely professional at all times. With many venues referrals from our friends, we were warned that once we signed the paperwork, all negotiations are out the door. You're on the ship, and the ship has left the dock was what we were warned. I will say that, undeniably, Julie is an exception to that rule. She worked with us as our situation changed and we took on stress. My wife and I also had an Eastern Indian wedding (like the review below) and we used the ceremony site that's part of Black Gold. It was extremely perfect. We were actually on the site during one wedding and got to see Julie in action - she runs a very tight ship with her staff. Additionally, the bartender (unfortunately, I forgot his name, I believe Eric or Ryan or something..sorry!), was great at serving my friends, cutting off the one or two EXTREMELY drunk people (they started drinking at 10am) in a very polite fashion that didn't upset anyone. Pure skills! Back to Julie - if your needs work with what Black Gold has to offer (reception room for 220 or less), then I cannot recommend them ENOUGH. Stop looking, call Julie, and book it! :-) Our outside caterer had zero problems dealing with staff as well. We needed an Indian caterer so Black Gold's in-house service did not work for us. However, I have sampled Black Gold's food and it's definitely worth while as well. Very good if you want non-Indian food.

I just had my East Indian wedding at Black Gold Golf Club and the event was absolutely beautiful and a success in nearly every way. You can get everything at this place: beautiful scenery around you, a outdoor wedding site that is out of this world, flexibility to have your dream wedding, and an amazing staff and wedding coordinator who really CARE about you and your guests. The guests continue to rave about our wedding and I encourage all brides having a wedding in Southern California to make an appointment and meet Julie ASAP!! Best of luck :)

What can I say, Julie is AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME! Whatever we wanted, Julie delivered. We looked at almost every golf course in southern California and Black Gold has the BEST ceremony site, hands down. To top that off, they have an amazingly friendly staff, including bartenders, and a top notch facility. With a view of the 18th hole on a summer afternoon as the sun sets, we couldn't ask for anything more. If Black Gold is one of your options, do NOT hesitate!

Finding the perfect wedding reception venue is tough and my fiance' and I looked at or inquired about 15 locations. When we went to Black Gold Golf Club and met with Julie Spencer we knew right then and there that this was the place for us!!! She was absolutely amazing, knowledgeable, professional, caring and genuine about our vision. She showed us around and walked us through how the event would go. The banquet hall had a beautiful view of the waterfall, greens, the hillside, and overlooked the city. We saw it at sunset and it was breathtaking. She offered very helpful advise and met all our needs for a perfect day. We met with Julie several times throughout the planning process and she was ALWAYS friendly, happy, and sincere about our special day. She returned emails and phone calls immediately with answers to our questions. Shortly before our wedding date, we received an email from Rhonda (the new wedding coordinator) and we met with both her and Julie to go over our final appointment information. Ronda was very friendly and worked side by side with Julie on our wedding reception plans. We were happy to have 2 people running our special day and it turned out wonderfully! Couples get overwhelmed planning a wedding.... Julie made us feel at ease by her confidence, and experience. She went above and beyond to make this day a success. We received so many compliments about our reception location and how smooth and how the day/evening flowed. The food was great, the decor and set up of the dining room, lobby, and outdoor cocktail area were colorful and the staff was friendly and attentive to the wedding party and guests. We could not have picked a better venue and with Julie as our coordinator, we indeed did have the perfect wedding reception. Thank you to Julie and Ronda, Cat & Rudy

My husband and I absolutely loved Black Gold. From the Coordinator to the staff, everything was impecable. I knew I was in great hands with Julie, our Coordinator. She reassured us everything would be taken care of, she was friendly, outgoing, considerate, and anything you could dream of in a coordinator. She delivered the day of and everything went so smooth. She took a lot of stress off of my plate throughout the entire process. They allowed us to stay past 11pm to practice our first dance. We are always treated like family when we go there for brunch or golf. The food was amazing. All of our guests said it was delicious and the best wedding food they ever had. The only thing I was not crazy about was the small bridal room. But for me the other things out weighed the bridal room. When I look back at my wedding I don't really care about the bridal room. Anyway, I highly recommend this place. You will not be disappointed!!

I just had my wedding at Black Gold on April 10th, 2010. Julie and Black Gold were by far one of my favorite vendors to work with. She was accomodating to the point where my husband and I were borderline shocked. Julie took care of everything... and thought of everything. The wedding day went by without a single issue. (which is pretty unheard of). The employees at Black Gold always made sure we always had a drink in hand, we were eating, and we were comfortable. I have to say that I had an absolute BLAST at my wedding. The food was delicious. We had so many compliments about the food that was served during cocktail hour and at the reception. I am so happy to have picked Black Gold. It was beautiful.

Julie, the wedding coordinator, and her assistant, Natalie were so great to work with. They took care of everything and I didn't have to worry about a thing. They kept track of my drinks, my food, dessert - EVERYTHING! The staff was very pleasant to us and I could tell that the guests had a great time. The food was good, the place clean and sparkly. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect reception venue for the fun wedding that we planned. The whole planning process was wonderful. I booked the venue a year ago and Julie has been great to work with. She's fast on answering my questions and did not get annoyed one bit. Overall, reasonable prices, great service, and a wonderful experience!!! p.s. my now-husband played golf here before our wedding and loooved the course. I don't know much about golf, but I could tell that the golf course was beautiful. :)

I was soo excited to have my wedding at Black Gold, and it lived up to all my expectations! My girlfriend got married at Black Gold a few years ago and I knew that BG was the place I wanted to get married when that time came. The staff, food and setting was perfect. You are overlooking Orange County and the sunsets are breathtaking. Plus, having an on-site coordinator (Julie) makes the biggest difference in the world. It was honestly my dream wedding...

Black Gold Golf was simply a beautiful place to get married in. The scenery was breathtaking & provided us with a great backdrop for our pictures. Our guest were amazed at our venue. Julie was great. She was hard to get a hold of by phone, but via email, she was quick & answered all my questions. She was extremely flexible to our needs. Our catering was also provided by Black Gold & the food was delicious! Too bad I didn't get to eat much of it. Beautiful venue, great food!

Our wedding went off without a hitch. The event coordinator took care of everything and did a great job of working with the other vendors.

I had a coordinator, Julie Spencer, she was GREAT. She was worth every penny. She made sure I had the best wedding possible. Very easy to work with and she was always trying her best and service with a smile. There was nothing I asked for that did not happen or at least she tried. Very well coordinated and had a schedule that she follwed. I would recommend her to anyone. the venue was very well decorated and she made sure fo that. The food was great. My fiance and I met with the cheff a couple of months prior to taste all of the food and make our selections.

Black Gold Golf Club is a beautiful place to have your wedding at. The new Wedding Coordinator is very friendly and really took the time to get to know my husband and I. The staff was very kind, and the event went off without a hitch! t's a new facility with all new decor. Check this place out!

Simply Amazing! Sarrah, the venues wedding coordinator, was our most valuable asset in our planning and day of. Her guidance and flexibility made the process smooth and seamless. Costs were beyond reasonable for the quality and quantity of items. We chose to have a buffet (150 people) and Sarrah helped us pick a variety of food representing both cultures. Cake was included and outsourced to a vendor in Orange. We highly recommend this venue. Not only is it amazing for the reasons stated above, it is in a premier location. It is tucked away from major streets and provides an added level of privacy. A few months prior to our ceremony, their new outdoor wedding setting was opened and it is simply beautiful! The banquet hall attaches to the lounge-like bar area which housed the chocolate fountain (which came with our package). Cannot sing Black Gold's praises enough! Truly made our experenience perfect from day 1.
