Ballyowen Bluff House

My now husband and I held our 10.22.23 wedding here. From the moment we took our tour with Julie in late fall 2022, we were determined to quickly book a fall 2023 wedding. The selling point was the gorgeous fall foliage and mountain views. The staff were all professional, responsive, and accommodating. Julie was our main contact for about six months and she was helpful and kind. Then we were connected with coordinator, Lee, who we cannot say enough nice things about. Lee was so responsive to all of our contacts and helped put our minds at ease. It's stressful planning a wedding and your mind is racing every second with details but it was comforting knowing that Lee and the Crystal Springs staff were quick to answer. Our food tasting also blew us away and we knew that the food would be excellent on the wedding day. Unsurprisingly, we received so many compliments on the setting and food from our guests! All of our items were set-up with care and the bridal suite was a blessing to have throughout the day and night to get ready in and store our belongings. We cannot forget to mention our maitre d' Nicole! Nicole was present throughout the wedding as needed and handled all the details and communication with the vendors to ensure that everything ran smoothly. She took us and our photographers and videographer out on the golf cart (in the freezing cold!) to help us capture our photos and even offered us hand warmers. Thank you, all, for an unforgettable wedding. :) Do not hesitate to book Ballyowen for any special event!

This venue checked all the boxes for us. An eclectic food selection for cocktail hour, great service, attention to detail, views and not a standard ballroom. We had about 100 people so it was the perfect size for us, not too big not too small. Lee our site coordinator was a pleasure to work with and she and Julie easily answered all of our questions in a timely manner. Mark, our maitre d, was phenomenal! Our guests raved about the food, service and atmosphere. I would highly recommend them!

We had our wedding on 5.27.23 at the Ballyowen Golf Club venue. Silje and Julia were amazing and made the process so easy! I had a lot of questions and they always put me at ease! The venue was the easiest part of wedding planning! Our guests raved about the view from cocktail hour and even the food from the reception! Mark was my assistant for the day - and he was amazing! He was one of our favorite parts of the day! He was so attentive! We cannot recommend Ballyowen enough - from the terrific staff to the beautiful venue itself! Everything went perfectly! If we could do it again, we would choose this venue over and over each time! 

Ballyowen Golf Club is an absolute dream venue. From the incredible landscape, delicious food, and wonderful service, they truly have it all. Our entire team was extremely pleasant to work with, Julie, Silje, and our maitre d, Mike. We truly felt they cared about us and our experience. One of our favorite memories was riding on the golf cart for photos. Our guests are still raving about the food! The bartenders were also extremely efficient, there was never a line! Do not overlook this venue, it’s truly one of a kind.

If you are considering Ballyowen Golf Club as your wedding venue, I highly suggest you do it. We initially had our tour with Julie, and from then on, she was incredibly helpful and just really great to work with. She answered every question/concern I had so promptly and was always so helpful. She was even so helpful the day of the wedding, which we are grateful for! About a month before the wedding, Ballyowen got a new wedding coordinator, Lee, and she was amazing from the minute we started working with her. From our final details meeting to the day of the wedding, we couldn’t have done it without her. She made sure our day went so smoothly up until our ceremony was over. We really couldn’t have asked for a better wedding coordinator! On the day of the wedding, we were also introduced to our maitre d, Mike, and we have too many great things to say about him. He made sure my wife, our parents, and I were taken care of the entire night. Ensured everything transitioned from the cocktail hour to the reception flawlessly. Was so personable. Our guests were even coming up to us and saying how great she is. With that, we could not have worked with better people at Ballyowen. The food was amazing, the venue is absolutely beautiful. We are blown away.

My husband and I just recently got married at Ballyowen Golf Club and were completely blown away. From first being in contact with their wedding sales manager, Julie, we knew Ballyowen was the perfect venue for our big day. Julie is very knowledgeable, personable and patient. She answered about 100 questions from us throughout the planning process before we were introduced to our wedding coordinator, Taylor, who was equally as amazing. Taylor unfortunately parted ways with Ballyowen about a month before our wedding, which is when we were introduced to our new coordinator, Lee. Lee did not skip a beat and after our first call with her we knew we were in great hands! She had all of Taylor’s detailed notes ready to go and not even one minor detail got lost in translation. That brings us to the big day. Julie and Lee were both there all day long, attending to all of mine and my bridesmaids’ needs...Read More.

I do not even know where to begin. From the moment I walked on to the grounds of Ballyowen I knew it was the place I was going to get married. I didn’t even want to look at any other venues and I actually booked Ballyowen without my fiancé seeing it. The process leading up to the wedding I don’t think could of went any smoother. With planning a wedding during COVID it was an even more stressful experience but Julie made sure all my questions and concerns were addressed right away. The day of the actual wedding was a dream. I felt like I did not have to do anything just show up thanks to Silje and Michael. They took care of everything. They kept me calm with knowing the possibility of rain and luckily it did not rain during the ceremony. Getting people to and from the ceremony to cocktail hour to the reception was handled great and they got everyone where they needed to be in a timely efficient manner. Michael was AMAZING he was there for anything that me or Anthony could have possibly needed. He really was the star of show. He not only took care of us but made sure our parents were taken care of whether it was with food or with drinks. I felt like I didn’t have to lift a finger with him. I cannot tell you how many calls we got since the wedding about how amazing everything was. From how smooth the process went from going from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception to how AMAZING the food was. It was truly a magical day. Please let me know where I can write reviews…5 stars across the board!

We could not have been happier with our wedding at the Ballyowen Golf Club. Julie made planning our wedding during COVID as stress free as possible and was always available to answer questions. Silje alleviated all of my worries surrounding the final, small details of the day and made sure everything went off without a hitch. Our maitre d, Mark, was absolutely spectacular and took great care of my husband and I throughout the night. Overall, the food and atmosphere were amazing and our family and friends could not stop talking about what a great time they had.

I’m unable to edit my wedding date in this review to the correct rescheduled date of 6/6/21, but the Ballyowen venue and grounds are just breathtaking!! We booked them in 2019 for our original June 2020 wedding date and were so grateful for the ease of the booking and covid rescheduling processes. The team members we worked with - Julie Hoffmann, Sarah Mugavero, and Silje Rendine - were so responsive every step of the way and really went out of their way to accommodate every special request or change we made to ensure that our day was perfect. We are so thankful for example that Silje still took us out on the golf cart for photos despite the 95 degree weather on our wedding day! The food was incredible, the staff were wonderful, and the wedding was perfect. The gorgeous sunset at the end of the night was the cherry on top!!

Our 10/09 wedding was a dream come true all thanks to the staff at Ballyowen. If you are looking to wow your guests with delicious food and a GORGEOUS view then look no further!!! Luis is AMAZING!! My husband and I were never without food or a drink in our hand thanks to Luis and his staff. He even set up a private cocktail hour for us after our ceremony so that we could enjoy some food. Thank you Luis!!! Being a bride during this crazy time was super stressful, but Julie was so communicative which helped tremendously. She even helped decorate my sweetheart table and made sure everything was were it was supposed to be for the reception! They accommodated for the potentially cold weather with heaters around the pavilion and lighting the fireplace. It truly added to the ambiance of the wedding. And the ceremony space on the 10th hole?!?! SO BEAUTIFUL. Our pictures from our ceremony are amazing. Our guests cannot stop talking about how beautiful the ceremony location was. Ballyowen truly went above and beyond to accommodate weddings safely during this time. Thank you Ballyowen !!

Our entire wedding process was extremely smooth. From the initial tour and date selection with Julie to working with Silje, our day of wedding coordinator. The staff were professional and kept in communication throughout the months leading up to the wedding and always answered my questions in a timely manner. The day of was perfect! Our bridal suite was great and the venue was stunning. Easy transportation arranged to and from the hotel was another plus. Food and drinks were fantastic as well (signature cocktails, big selection, tons of appetizers during cocktail hour, etc.). Loved having the all in one package with drinks and food. Our cocktail hour was HUGE! I also think that my vendors had a good experience with communicating to Ballyowen staff beforehand and setting up during the day. Would highly recommend to anyone looking in the area.
