Awarded Best of Zola
“Our wedding at the Forest Park Golf Club was absolutely outstanding! Lexi was stellar helping us when we first visited, learning about the different package options, and finding out that we could make the dream of having our wedding reception in Forest Park come true! Maddie did more than we could ever have hoped for as our coordinator, helping us with decorating ideas, arranging all of the details, and getting everything set up perfectly on the day of the reception. We made some additions the week of the wedding that the club accommodated seamlessly. They made everything as easy as it could have been. Our photographer was in an accident on the wedding day (oh no!) which pushed back the timing of the wedding. We arrived later than planned at the reception. Maddie was waiting outside with golf carts so we could immediately dash away for pictures at the Grand Basin- after she made a quick dash into the club to bring out some emergency finger nail tools! And the pictures around the Grand Basin: sunset reflecting on the water behind us… so beautiful! And the food! The drinks! The service! Everything was absolutely outstanding. Me and my bride never got our own drinks- the servers were frequently asking us for anything we would like. It truly exceeded the dreams we had of what our Forest Park wedding reception could be!”

“We couldn't have asked for a better experience at Old Hickory Golf Club. From our first conversation, Jen and Morgan were quick to respond and made planning stress-free with their helpful guidance. They went above and beyond by letting us drop off our things early and decorating the entire venue based on our vision. They took our ideas and made them look exactly how we imagined. The space itself is stunning, especially with those unbeatable views of the course. Every staff member made sure our day ran smoothly and our guests felt taken care of. All of our guests complimented how beautiful the space looked, how amazing the food was, and how great everyone working the event was. If you're looking for a venue with a beautiful setting and a team that truly cares about making your wedding special, Old Hickory Golf Club is the place to choose! Thank you to the whole OHGC team for making our day so incredible & unforgettable.”

“My wife and I chose the Whitmoor for many reasons. Beautiful decor, the fantastic food, the space, etc. but the best part of us choosing the Whitmoor was Carley. She was so easy to work with, never made us feel like we had a dumb question, and always made herself available to an anxious bride whom had lots of questions. She also accommodated our three year old, even printing activities for him to do, so we could continue to discuss wedding details. Even with our own coordinator, Carley was present at the wedding helping wherever she could, including checking in on us throughout the whole day. And in a very small moment of my wife and I having a break from all the pictures, brought us some appetizers so we could eat and relax for a second before the festivities continued. We are so thankful for all her help and support during this process. Would recommend both her and the Whitmoor 1000%.”
