We used Turf Valley as our venue for our ceremony and reception. The place was wonderfully decorated for our big event. There were plenty of places to take wonderful photos. Our Maître was Latisha Davidson. She did a fantastic job ensuring the bride and groom were cared for. Jenny and Jill did a wonderful job keeping me informed about any information I needed to fill out. Everyone enjoyed the meal that was provided. Reviewed on 10-01-2024

The people at Turf Valley were incredible and people are still telling me it was the best steak they have ever had. Even after 3 toasts the food was delivered hot and delicious. I met with Jennie and Joanna multiple times. They were amazing to work with and the day of manager Chris kept everything flawless. We did it without a full fledged wedding coordinator. My friends were so helpful. Reviewed on 17-09-2023

We had a beautiful summer wedding at Turf Valley! TV is an excellent all inclusive venue with great food and a wonderful staff. The garden is the perfect outdoor ceremony space with several options for indoor ballrooms for the reception. Our guest enjoyed the wedding as well as the spa, golf, the pool, and Alexandra's restaurant. Jenny B. was great to work with and made our wedding planning experience as easy as she could!

Turf Valley surpassed all of our expectations and was above and beyond! If we could do it all over again, we would do it exactly the same. Jenny B. was the catering director who coordinated everything for us the entire process. She is beyond fantastic. She answered my millions of emails and questions, she always had an answer to my questions, she always answered very quickly, she is just so reliable, patient, knowledgeable. You can tell she’s done a million weddings because she just knows everything. This helped make us feel SO calm while wedding planning because she, and everyone working there, is very trustworthy and professional. Our maitre D on the day of, was Gloria F. She was also amazing!!! She also had an answer to all our questions, she was extremely on top of things, she set up everything and broke it all down afterwards, made everything run smoothly. She even made sure we had drinks and food! She was above and beyond. I can’t say enough good things about Jenny and Gloria, as well as the whole staff there. They are all very very willing to help and give you a great experience - which they did. Even during the reception, they must have had two dozen servers because they were so incredibly quick and efficient bringing out the food like a well-oiled machine, they were very accommodating and helpful. The venue itself was fantastic. Every single thing we ate - from the wedding dinner to the cocktail hour apps to the breakfast and lunches we ate at the restaurant all weekend - was exceptional. All our guests said this, and continue to tell us a month later. It was so awesome having our venue here because the hotel and after party and reception were all at the same place. I feel like that really made our wedding weekend. After the wedding, we all went to the hotel bar, the bartenders were great as well. We had 180 guests and there was enough room for everyone. It was great seeing all our friends and family Sunday morning having breakfast, and Friday night after our rehearsal, in the same place. The groomsmen and some of our guests even went golfing the Friday before, and they said the course is really awesome so that was very fun. We were in the Cameo ballroom and it was just absolutely perfect - perfect size, big dancefloor, patio overlooking the golf course.By the way, all the vendors we booked were from Turf Valley’s preferred vendors, and they were all awesome as well.Lastly, there were so many other events going on at the same exact time as ours. A staff member told us this was one of their busiest weekends and all the hotel rooms and all the event rooms were completely booked, including the one right next door to us. That did not impact us at all - didn’t even notice that was the case. I am just so incredibly happy that everything went so smoothly and so great and that we chose this venue. Reviewed on 21-05-2023

She answered all of our million questions and was also so nice and responsive. Getting to the venue - seriously, it's perfect. For starters, literally everything you need is there. The hotel, the bar, restaurant ... EVERYTHING. The minute you check in you do not need to leave until the weekend is over with. The drinks and food were absolutely delicious. Our guests kept saying how great the food was and how well the bartenders were. Okay now the views - really really breathtaking. The ceremony is in the perfect location so you will have photos during the golden hour. The venue itself is gorgeous, you will not have any bad photos. Our maitre d was also wonderful!! She made sure everything was perfect and really made sure my husband and I had a great evening. She even snuck us off so we can actually enjoy a few minutes together and eat some of the apps. At the end of the night she also packed all our stuff up and even packed up a to go plate for us so we can enjoy our dinner. Money wise, this was the most cost efficient venue too. Out of all the places we looked, this one was the best price and offered everything. Having the food and drinks there was such a stress relief, we didn't have to worry about outsourcing. And the food and drinks were great so it's not like what was offered was bad. Another thing, there is a bar on site at the resort so when your wedding is over with you can keep the party going without worrying about getting an uber somewhere or your guests driving. I really cannot recommend this place enough as a venue option. Truly nothing I would change, everyone was so accommodating and nice and just really made my husband and I's day that much more special and stress free. Reviewed on 23-10-2022

The resort is excellent, and the staff are the friendliest and most helpful people you can ever ask for.We can’t say enough good things about our sales & catering executive Carol Sirchio. Carol worked with us for over 10 months to plan & coordinate our wedding reception, covering every possible detail and scenario to make us feel totally prepared for the big day. Carol went above & beyond what anyone could expect in terms of helping us with the wedding - she responded to all of our emails almost immediately and proactively made suggestions for best practices and how to manage costs. Her positive attitude made a typically stressful process such a breeze for us.The resort itself is also excellent - our hotel room was clean & spacious, and the grounds are also scenic and elegant. The gazebo area and the fountain are great for pictures.We held our reception in the Waterford Ballroom (with about 120 people). There is a large multi-floor cocktail hour area in addition to a good-sized ballroom as well as a wedding party suite attached to the cocktail area. Our guests had plenty of room to walk around, mingle, and stretch out.The food was also great. Carol’s team organized a tasting event several months before the wedding where we could sample numerous appetizers, entrees, and drinks. This event was a party in itself! We wound up selecting the buffet option, and our guests particularly loved the crab-stuffed salmon entree. There is also an option for a custom cocktail at the bar, which was a lot of fun.Furthermore - we held an after party at the hotel bar (Fairway Lounge). It was so convenient, especially with guests staying in the hotel, that 70-80% of our guests stopped by, and we had a blast celebrating for several more hours.And the whole Turf valley team was fantastic - from Carol’s team to the maitre’d and the bartenders - so many of our guests went out of their way to praise the Turf Valley staff for friendly and helpful interactions.Turf Valley is truly a venue that puts an emphasis on people.

Erika O(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-05-2022 We are happy that we chose Turf Valley as our wedding venue. We loved having everything on-site, including accommodations. We did run into a surprise regarding the hotel being sold out about 5 months prior to our event, but eventually were able to claim enough rooms to house our guests (this did add a little stress - make sure to make you room block big enough early on!). We loved the garden and planned to have our ceremony there, but the weather had other plans. Turf Valley ended up working with us to accommodate our large guest count into a different indoor space which made it much more spacious and pleasant for the ceremony. Jenny B was very helpful, responsive, and calm in the planning process. Our on-site/day-of coordinator, Latisha, was amazing and went above and beyond for us several times on the day before and day-of (even with a busy Mother's Day immediately after). We were very pleased with the food and got compliments from several of our guests about it. We also had our rehearsal dinner and a welcome reception on-site (via Alexandra's) which was convenient and easy to plan with Shannon. The location of Turf Valley is convenient and the grounds are pretty. The hotel was comfortable and clean for our two night stay. The staff who helped us on the day/night of the wedding were friendly and professional. I am sure that I am missing something, but we were happy with our experience there.

My aunt was our florist and she commented on how kindly everyone treated her, which she said is not common and a lot of venues are rude to vendors.

Stacy Steinberg(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-05-2021 Turf Valley was everything and more we could have asked for. Our catering manager, Jaime, made the whole process an amazing experience! She was so communicative and completely transparent with us. She helped us weigh pros and cons and used her expertise to help us make sure we were making the best decisions possible for us. This was especially helpful over the past year while we planned during COVID and we didn’t know what things would look like. Jaime helped us to edit our contract given the restrictions and find an option that both TV and we were comfortable with. What I loved most about Jaime is her willingness to pick up the phone and call rather than responding via email. It helped to make sure we were truly on the same page rather than assuming everything got relayed effectively via email. That really showed me her desire to go above and beyond for us and to make our day as perfect as she possibly could. I could rave about her for days. But, also worth noting is the quality of the resort. The garden is gorgeous and perfect for an outdoor ceremony! Our banquet manager, Chris, was also phenomenal and ensured the entire evening went without hiccups. The food was incredible and the vendors all worked so well together to make for a seamless evening. TV was extremely accommodating with where we could store decor before and after the event. They really did everything to make our day as seamless as possible. We also loved the fact we could have our guests stay on site and have Alexandra’s right on site as well for dining and rehearsal dinner needs. They really have everything in one place which made our lives so much easier! We can’t say enough good things about TV, Jaime, Chris and the rest of the team and highly recommend booking with them.

The convenience of having the ceremony, reception, and hotel all at the same place (as well as free parking) can not be matched! Not only does the Garden ceremony look like a dream in pictures, but the hotel rooms are also exquisite and extremely clean during COVID. Jaime Petit (Sales) and Chris Goodwin (Event Coordinator/Maitre D) went ABOVE AND BEYOND for us. Jaime was very considerate during COVID and due to social distancing guidelines upgraded our reception room free of cost to accomodate for the large number of guests we had attending - which was 80. She was a pleasure to work with and really made everything incredibly easy. She also waived our attrition rate of our room blocks during COVID due to some family not being able to attend from out of the country. Chris was a LIFESAVER. We had a last minute seating chart problem Friday before our wedding on Saturday. Chris and the marketing team at TVR were able to put together a beautiful seating chart for us at the drop of a hat!

Eden Lichtenberg(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-05-2018 Turf Valley was an amazing venue! The staff was incredible and working with Jenny made planning my wedding a breeze. We got married the day Ellicott City flooded and the team at Turf was amazing in moving things along seamlessly. My one critique is with the hotel: I stayed in the hotel room with my bridesmaids the night before the wedding because check-in is at 4pm and I needed to start getting ready much earlier than that. I wanted the housekeeping staff to turnover the room before the wedding night (fresh towels, fresh sheets, etc) and since we were in there getting ready, they said they would come back an hour later. They never came back and by the time we were back in our room it was 3am and just realized nothing had been cleaned. Overall, AMAZING experience with the event staff but just had an issue with the hotel. Reviewed on 02-07-2018
Sarah Luttrell(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 26-05-2018 We spent an eternity looking for the right venue in the Baltimore area. After meeting Jamie Petit, we knew we had the right place. The venue is gorgeous inside and out, and while it's close to Ellicott City if you need anything, it feels peaceful and far removed. Jamie was beyond helpful, and always easy to reach. She kept things moving along, and reminded us for all the planning we had to do! Leading up to the big day, Jamie always asked if there was anything she could do for us. Paul was our maitre-d, and he was phenomenal the day of the wedding. We had planned to get married outside, but ended up getting rained out at the last minute. The crew at Turf Valley, especially Paul, made sure to help our guests move inside and had a backup room prepared for us without being asked. While taking pictures in the drizzle, Paul even brought us umbrellas (which made for some wonderful pictures!). Weddings are always stressful, but Turf Valley made everything perfect. Would recommend TVR to everyone! Reviewed on 09-06-2018

From Cocktail Hour through the reception, a 6 hour event, the appetizers, drinks and main course were plentiful, hot and delicious with the Signature Drinks being refreshing. Jaime Petit, our Event Planner did a phenomenal job by giving us a list of vendors from florist, to DJ to lightening and drapery which made the planning process easier. The vendors along with Turf Valley Staff transformed this reception room into a beautiful, elegant and welcoming space.Jamie and her Director were very accommodating when I requested to have permission to have a Pizza Food Truck to end the evening with a delicious send off.Almost a month later, we still have guests raving about the delicious food and beautiful setting.We had approximately 45-50 guests and family use the hotel accomodations.

Our reception was held in the Cameo Ballroom and we had the Emerald Reception Package. The food and drinks were all delicious. Jaime Pette and her exceptional staff worked every little detail to accommodate our wedding day reception from helping us with the set up our large Italian cookie table and Cigar Bar to packing everything up for us to take home at the end of the evening. Jaime helped us organize everything with planners and checklists so nothing was forgotten. Jaime felt like a family member. We had a breakfast the next morning for all of our guests staying at the hotel (80). Jaime and Victoria arranged for us to have the breakfast buffet in the Tiffany Room for our guests. Their team moved our floral centerpieces to the room for the next morning and it looked just beautiful. Jaime and Victoria took care of us and for that we will always be grateful.

Kady Halleran(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 19-05-2017 Our wedding was absolutely perfect. My fiance and I specifically picked Turf Valley because it was a one stop shop for everything. We hosted our rehearsal dinner at Alexandra's and Victoria made planning everything a breeze - she even stopped by the dinner to introduce herself and she popped in frequently to assure everything was going smoothly. Everyone raved about the food - we hosted a casual BBQ style rehearsal dinner and the wait staff was very professional and accommodating. We had about 25 rooms booked for the night of our wedding and everyone loved the fact that they did not have to travel between the ceremony to the reception. Jaime Petit was our Catering Account Executive and she was an absolute DREAM to work with. We worked together for about a full year and she was always so responsive and answered all of my questions/concerns so thoroughly. She made planning the ceremony and reception so easy and stress-free. She even made a point to stop by to see me prior to the ceremony which I thought was such a sweet and personal touch. Our ceremony took place in the garden which is BEAUTIFUL, however, it did rain and we had to move it indoors. I must say that Turf Valley was extremely accommodating on this - I really wanted an outdoor wedding and they allowed me to wait out a few showers, and even at the last minute escorted all my guests inside to the ballroom for an indoor ceremony. Although it wasn't my ideal scenario they allowed me the time to wait it out which I really appreciate it. Everyone LOVED the cocktail and reception food and the cake by Debi's Cake Studio was delicious. Our pictures are stunning with the willow trees and golf course scenery in the background. Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend Turf Valley to all of my future brides! The food was amazing, and all of the staff especially Jaime and Victoria who made our wedding weekend one to truly remember!

Laura Kershaw(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-12-2013 Having my wedding reception at Turf Valley was the perfect choice. They are conveniently also a hotel so guests can stay the night and not drink and drive which was a huge selling point for me. Included in the package was a complimentary night in the executive suite with a king bed for the bride and groom. My reception was in the Waterford room which doesn't have a banquet hall feel-it has dark wood paneling, dark wood chairs (with padding of course), big windows with a view of the fountain and fits 250 people-it was cozy which is what I wanted for my winter wedding. The staff is very helpful from before I booked with them to the morning after when they gave me 2pm checkout so I could have brunch with my guests. You get a maitre'd for the night, ours was Latisha and she was amazing. She was so attentive without being too much and it was great having her there for any questions I had. They handled the gifts and packed them in my parents car, they packed up my table cloths and glass cylinders (part of my centerpieces) for free and put them in my parents car. All the servers were friendly, the food was delicious-I got a lot of compliments on that-I recommend the brie and raspberry pastry as part of cocktail hour, it was a hit. So many of my guests told me it was the best wedding they've ever been to. They've been doing this for decades so they have everything down to a tee. The cake is included in the contract, it was delicious-even my husband liked it and he's not a dessert person. They use an outside baker and she said she loves working with them and has been for years which I think speaks volumes. This is a great little gem that is a perfect alternative to going somewhere in Baltimore or DC which would automatically be super expensive being in a city.

Christine Bryan(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-06-2012 I loved working with Turf Valley for my wedding. Mary (my sales consultant) was very responsive and would help out with anything I asked of her. All of the rooms at Turf Valley's hotel were booked one year out, but Mary helped coordinate a group rate with a nearby hotel and even helped arrange shuttle service to Turf Valley so my guests wouldn't have to drive if they didn't want to. I also loved that I could drop everything off that was needed for decorations, the ceremony, and reception, and the Turf Valley staff set it all up for me in a way that was even more beautiful than I imagined.\r\rThere are only three reason I knocked a star, although I still would very much recommend this vendor to anyone. Firstly, the reservation for the wedding night room for me and my husband was not put through correctly (which I suspect was the fault of the hotel). Fortunately, this was caught the day before the wedding, and although initially I had to pay the money, it was made good within a couple of days. The second reason is that the shuttle nearly left the bridal party at the hotel, but was running quite late due to an unexpected traffic jam. I got to the ceremony over an hour late, but Turf Valley did automatically extend our time frame so we had the same number of hours that we had paid for. Lastly, while still on my honeymoon, we received a call from Turf Valley letting us know that they neglected to charge us for the ceremony fee and that we still had a balance due because of this. This has not yet been resolved, but it is a little concerning to get another bill after the wedding is over.\r Reviewed on 17-06-2012

The location gives a beautiful backdrop for any event. I can't wait to return just to stay as a guest and visit Alexandra's. Reviewed on 17-08-2011
Heather McIntyre(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-06-2011 They were great... The ceremony was beautiful and the reception went off so great! Everyone was so helpful... I would recommend Turf Valley to anyone Reviewed on 28-06-2011
Heather Metcalf(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-06-2011 Our reception was held in the Waterford Room at Turf Valley and everything was wonderful. People are still talking about the food! From my end, the evening went very smoothly and Chris from TV was wonderful at keeping everything on time. It was also really nice to have the hotel there for our guests. Many guests stayed after the reception and had a few drinks with us at the hotel bar. Many guests also got together for brunch the next morning at Alexandra's in Turf Valley. Reviewed on 27-06-2011
Alissa Norman(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-05-2011 From the start Turf Valley was very accommodating and willing to work with anything you wanted. As a DIY bride I made my own centerpieces and wanted to do my own decorating of the reception room. Turf Valley had no problem with that and allowed us in the room to decorate 3 days before the reception. When the chairs were wrong and needed to be switched they had no problem putting the chair covers and sashes on themselves when they originally told us they do not do that. \rEveryone raved about the food and the maitre'd was very attentive. All in all the reception went exactly as I had hoped. Reviewed on 23-06-2011
Casey Chiras(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-05-2011 I was very pleased with my decision to use Turf Valley as the location for my wedding reception- the director of catering is absolutely wonderful and she made the planning process ridiculously easy! The staff are very friendly and the food and reception room were so wonderful. I received so many compliments from my guests and I'd recommend Turf Valley to anyone looking for an amazing reception venue. Reviewed on 01-06-2011

Sarah Mallette(bride)3 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-10-2010 The hotel is a beautiful spot to get married and the sales staff is helpful. One downside is that the people you work with during the planning stage are not the same people who assist on your wedding day. So not all of your \"perfect\" ideas get relayed to the catering staff. Overall, I would recommend Turf Valley, especially the Gazebo. Beautiful! Reviewed on 16-11-2010
Vicki Zidwick(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-10-2010 We chose Turf Valley for our reception because of its beautiful setting, both indoors and out. Rather than being in typical hotel ballroom with no windows and no personality, we had a wonderful room (the Waterford Room) with windows and views of the golf course and fountain. They were easy to work with, and patient as we asked thousands of questions. We had approximately 160 people at our reception, and they handled that size nicely. Having the hotel right there was also a great benefit, particularly for our out-of-town guests. The food was excellent - I could eat their beef wellington puffs all night. And they made sure that my husband and I actually got to eat. We had a nice quiet room for just the wedding party to regroup once we got there, and they managed everything for us. From the first time we contacted them until we left the next morning, the service was fantastic. I couldn't imagine having my wedding anywhere else! Reviewed on 02-11-2010

Jennifer Roderick(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-10-2005 Everything. The staff was excellent in every way. The ceremony was supposed to be outside but due to flooding rainfall the day before they quickly made room for us inside. The place was beautifully decorated and the food was very, very good.

Beth DeLozier(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-09-2005 It has a beautiful golf course, so the grounds are very green and well manicured. The food was absolutely delicious. They have the best crab cakes I've ever had. The best part was that all of my friends and family could drink all that they wanted, then stumble up to their hotel rooms.;As usual, everything is extra. For example, we paid extra for full length table cloths. Reviewed on 28-08-2007
