If there was an option to give more than 5 stars, The Valerie deserves it! I don't even know where to start - everything was even more perfect than we could have imagined. Picking a venue is a very tough, but important decision. I found myself googling The Valerie daily before finally biting the bullet on a venue that wasn't even built yet - but boy am I glad I did!!! This place is absolutely STUNNING. From the very beginning, I knew I wanted a classy and elegant vibe for my wedding and The Valerie matches that perfectly. From the gorgeous bridal suite, to the large light wall, the sparkly chandeliers, the aesthetic bars, the names of all the spaces, and the employees. Matty is such a joy to work with! From the initial conversation to the very last, he made sure that everything was perfect. He was extremely prompt in his responses via email, text, and call. Anything I needed, he was there to find the answer for me. He is AMAZING at what he does and we are so thankful! My ONE request was an espresso martini tower—and the second I said it, Matty didn’t hesitate. He just said, ‘Let’s do it!’ and made it happen. Jen was the MVP! We met Jen at our 90 day check in and immediately clicked and she offered to be our Wedding Coordinator from that point on - BEST DECISION EVER! She made everything go so smoothly, I didn't have to worry about a thing. Jen was also available at any time of the day to answer and questions or even offer suggestions! Half the time, I didn’t even know what I wanted—but Jen somehow took my scattered thoughts and turned them into something more beautiful than I could’ve imagined. I saw so many mixed opinions about hiring a wedding coordinator—so many people said we could just 'do it ourselves.' But looking back, I know without a doubt that our wedding was everything we dreamed of because of her! Mike, Jordan, and Madeline were the bartenders working the night of our wedding and they played one of the biggest roles of the night! All of our guests were raving about Mike's Brandy Old Fashions :) The three of them made sure all of the guests were taken care of in a timely manner and we are so appreciative of their service! For all the future brides out there - this is the BEST place to have the wedding of your dreams :)

My husband and I got married at Western Lakes Golf Club 5/4/24 and it was incredible. Food was amazing, staff were very friendly. The only downside for why I took off a star was because of the day of coordinator provided with the venue. She was great leading up to the day of the wedding but on the wedding day I saw her twice and then never saw her again. She never introduced herself to my husband, never made sure we were lining up for the ceremony or anything. Never checked in on us. I’m the one that noticed we should be getting lined up which should have been the coordinator doing it. But overall, it was a great experience.
