We were so happy to have had our wedding at the beautiful Fox Hopyard! Melanie and her team were truly incredible through every step of the planning. Throughout the process I had so many emails back and forth with Melanie and she was always on top of every detail! On the day of the wedding she and her team did an incredible job bringing our wedding to life. Everyone raved about the food, the service, and the great energy the Fox Hopyard team brought. Knowing Melanie and the team had everything under controlled allowed me and my husband to truly enjoy the day. We are so appreciative of their hard work to make our special day perfect!

Melanie and the team at OTR are the absolute best. Melanie has a true gift for event planning and execution, her talent shines through in the details she is able to think about and plan for. When we last minute added a hot pretzel station for the end of the night, she thoughtfully had the staff put out to-go containers for each guest. She did the same for cupcakes we had for dessert, without us asking (honestly I never would have thought to even ask for this)!. When it got chilly during dinner before dancing started, the team brought out heaters for the guests, when the shuttle bus wouldn't drive up the hill to pick everyone up she coordinated several golf carts to drive guests down to the bus (while I stood there in a panic). The staff set up our table decor fantastically, they were so attentive to myself and my husband throughout the day. We had drinks waiting for us after we walked up the aisle when the ceremony ended. We had a platter of appetizers brought directly to us during cocktail hour. They accommodated requests from family members and bridal party members that were not planned for and they were so gracious about it when they easily could have said no. I would recommend everyone who wants to have a midsize wedding check out OTR! The value for the cost is outstanding and Melanie is truly a magician. I can not recommend OTR enough!

My husband and I had our wedding at Fox Hopyard in June and it was amazing. Melanie goes above and beyond and she truly made planning a wedding nowhere near as stressful as I anticipated. She not only is responsive and extremely helpful but also so professional. The day would not have run as smoothly and effortlessly without her. The food was amazing and the presentation was beautiful. Everyone kept commenting on how pretty everything was set up and the ice cream sundae bar and French fry station were definitely peoples favorites. Our wedding was everything we wanted and more! Thank you Melanie and team!

My son just had his wedding at On the Rocks. It was AMAZING! Melanie was so professional and spent the day making sure we loved everything. She was quick with emails and went above and beyond all of our requests. She gave great advice and helped make decisions. The food was fantastic, our guests are still talking about the clam chowder. Every menu item was delicious and beautifully served. We had a gorgeous weather day and i don't think there was anything to improve. The staff was awesome, so friendly and helpful. The venue looked magical. They transformed it into everything my son and his new wife wanted. Just beautiful. Best day ever!

OTR at Fox was more than we could have ever imagined. We booked this venue after talking with Melanie and we fell in love. My fiancé had golfed there before but we didn’t really know what a wedding entailed. Let me tell you, you will be blown away! From the beginning Melanie answered all of my questions and changed my plans (per my request) probably no less than 50 times. Her staff is top notch and super attentive. Any time I looked like I needed help they were always asking me what I needed help with. Even if it was just finding an area for fresh air. Our day started at OTR at 9am in the bridal suite and needed at 9:30 pm. The food was amazing and our guests LOVED the open bar, s’mores, and late night snacks (buff chicken dip and pretzels). If you want attentive staff, a beautiful area and a day of wedding planner (who truly will email you back at all hours of the day) this is your place! Thank you Melanie and staff!

The Fox Hopyard was a great venue! We ended up doing the ceremony on the patio outside and it was just so amazing with the arch at the edge of the stone patio overlooking the course and the trees. It was setup so well and it was really magical looking. This easily transitioned everyone to the side patio for the cocktail hour and then had everyone under the large pavilion outside for the reception. It was decorated so well and everything was setup to be so convenient. Melanie (Mel) and her staff we absolutely superb. She was so helpful during the planning process and helped keep everything organized. They were also so flexible which was so comforting! The food was absolutely amazing, everyone commented on how much they loved the food. The filet was to die for and the salmon was delicious. The bridal suite was really big and so convenient for getting ready, it was also upstairs in the clubhouse so a good place to get away for a minute if needed. Mel and her team had everything so well managed and thought out the day of that it was like a breeze. She just kind of coordinated everyone on where to go and when to do everything without being in the middle of everything, it was the perfect touch. Honestly, it made the day just so easy because we didn't have to worry about a thing. They were just absolutely fantastic!

Melanie and her staff were attentive to every detail and patient with all the re-planning as rules continued to change. On their special day, the food was delicious and picture perfect! The chef was so detailed-oriented that he designed a scrumptious menu that kept food allergies in mind so that there were no issues for anyone in attendance. The serving staff was fantastic!

If we could rate On the Rocks Restaurant 10 stars we would! We were married here on September 14th 2019. Melanie was our event manager and let me tell you; she is a gift to the wedding planning world! She was very quick to answer all my emails and help me with any detail I was unsure about. We did a total buy out of the restaurant for the day ( gave us lots of flexibility with the event space and privacy) We held our ceremony on the stone patio, cocktail hour under the pavilion, our plated dinner was served inside the restaurant, and the reception was held back out on under the pavilion- where we danced the night away. With all the moving of the event I was nervous about it transitioning seamlessly (waste of time – it all went perfectly) The food was spectacular- we are still receiving complement a month later about how delicious everything was! Kudos to the Chef! Above all else I have to say that the staff at OTRR was top notch- they were all so much fun to work with! The night of the wedding felt like everyone was family and friends which is all you can ask for on you wedding day! Coarsy was our main bartender for the evening and WOW she was great! So personable, she kept all our guest happy with quick service and huge smile! Look no further if you want your wedding to be a fairytale, the grounds are gorgeous our pictures are stunning! Thank you again to Melanie and the whole crew at OTRR we will forever be grateful for you giving us our dream wedding! All our Love * The Ecclestons.

We got rejected from a lot of venues for our 100 person wedding being too small, but we were just the right size for On the Rocks. Planning went very smoothly with Melanie, who was always accommodating of my emails, even when I accidentally emailed her on her days off a few times. The bridal suite was perfect for everything, and we were able to order food to be brought up for lunch. The ceremony space was fantastic, and has the added bonus of a roof in case it had rained. The photo locations all over are gorgeous, and my photographer was really pleased with all the options. Our reception was great, all the guests loved the space. We added bistro lights and the fire pit and both were perfect. The food was also incredible! We knew it would be good after our tasting, but so many of our guests came up to tell us it was some of the best wedding food they had ever had, which is hard to get perfect when you're serving 100 people at once. I would highly recommend On the Rocks for weddings my size, 75-115 people.

We got married June 22, 2019 at Fox Hopyard. What an amazing night!!! As I write this post a couple weeks later, we're STILL getting compliments from our guests about the venue itself, the attentive staff who were on top of every little detail, the food (OUTSTANDING!), and what an all-around perfect time it was! Melanie, who was our primary contact at Fox Hopyard, managed everything flawlessly and did an amazing job from start to finish! We couldn't have been happier with how everything went! THANK YOU!!!!Lisa & Ed

This was such a beautiful, perfect venue!! I wouldn't change a thing! Melanie was so amazingly helpful and welcoming throughout our entire planning process and she went the extra mile to keep things running smoothly on wedding day. We managed to have an 'outdoor wedding' in February without being cold at all! -- we had tent flaps with windows put up around the pavilion and had our ceremony overlooking the gorgeous landscape. Plenty of heaters, worked amazingly! The catering via On The Rocks was really well done, too. You can choose between plated entrees or self serve manned stations. We did the stations and it was great, it allowed mingling and energized the mood, and everyone got to pick something they actually liked to eat!Overall, I have to say I can't recommend the venue enough! Our day was more than everything I dreamed it could be and we truly couldn't be happier. Thank you guys so much, and I hope all of the future couples will love it as much as we did.

My husband and I had our wedding at Fox Hopyard on 9/29/18 and we had the perfect day! The venue sold us on getting married there, it is absolutely beautiful with a lot of stone, beautiful views overlooking the golf course and a large gazebo to hold dinner and dancing in! The gazebo is a nice way to have an outdoor wedding and not have to worry about the weather! Melanie spent almost 2 hours with us the first time we visited explaining everything to us and we worked with Kristi and Melanie throughout the planning process to make our day perfect. We also had our rehearsal dinner there the night before which was very convenient and the food was great!

Kristi , Mel, and her team are the best! They made sure everything for our wedding was perfect. She tracked down navy runners last minute and helped find heaters/lights. The food was amazing and everyone raved about how great it was. I loved being able to drop off our decorations a few days before the wedding and not having to worry about a thing. She answered any of my questions quickly and thoroughly. My girls loved the mimosas while getting ready in and the bridal suite is perfect for your whole Bridal party and taking photos. Everything went seamless and on time. We cannot say enough great things about Kristi, Mel, chef and their team.We also had our rehearsal dinner there too which was also delicious and went great too!On the Rocks is the perfect location for any wedding or special event and you can have the peace of mind knowing everything will be taken care of!
