One of the most beautiful venues I've ever worked at!

As a wedding DJ, I see a lot of venues! Normanside Country Club has always stood out as one of our teams absolute favorites! From the friendly and helpful staff to the beautiful interior and easy load in, we love everything about this place.

From a dj perceptive, the room is easy to provide sound for. Several convenient outlet locations and the well thought out floor plan made our setup a breeze.

The venue managers were extremely helpful and easy to work with which is HUGE from our perspective. Primarily because we need to bring the party and great energy all night long and that's simply tough to do when the venue staff or other vendors are bringing down the mood with negativity. I am thankful that is NEVER the case here.

All the weddings I've DJ'd here have been phenomenal, with packed dance floors. I attribute much of this success to the seamless coordination leading up to the dance time, which is greatly influenced by the efficiency of the venue staff.

I look forward to working with more awesome couples here in the future!

Normanside is Simply the Best

My daughter got married at Normanside on Oct 28, 2023. As her father, I had to wait for twenty-one months since my son-in-law proposed to her. But the wait was simply worthy because they chose Normanside for ceremony and reception. My experience over there was a 10.5 out of a scale of 1 to 10. Jaimie was a fantastic person to work with. Her work went beyond to meet the needs of my daughter and her husband. The other staff were excellent, the food was outstanding and the service was absolutely great. If you look for a wedding reception, do not need to look any further. Just come to Normanside. You will not regret, but value your choice as a lifelong memory.

Normanside is the best!

Anyone looking for a beautiful, inclusive, yet affordable wedding venue - look no further! We couldn’t be happier we trusted Normanside for our wedding. We knew from the start we were in good hands, as all our vendors had nothing but positive things to say about their own experiences at the venue. Jaimie was outstanding in answering all my questions along the way and made the day of seamless. Jaimie and her team were always responsive and thoughtful, and executed everything better than we could have imagined and let us include so many personal touches.
Not only that, but all our guests have been telling us it’s the best wedding food they ever had. We also got ready in the bridal suite which made the morning of easy for me and my bridesmaids. Thank you Normanside, but especially Jaimie, for making our wedding day so beautiful and effortless!
