    Amazing Wedding Venue and Team!

    The entire staff at Kensington was amazing to work with throughout our wedding planning process! For context, our wedding was postponed due to Hurricane Ian and we needed to change venues without a ton of lead time, and Kensington made that process so seamless. Colby and everyone we encountered was so great to work with and they were flexible in our requests and truly went above and beyond to make sure our day was as special as it could be. The venue and grounds looks absolutely beautiful -- we had ceremony + cocktail hour outside and went inside for reception and dancing. I was at first weary of an indoor ballroom wedding, but Colby and the rest of our vendor team worked tireless to truly transform the room and we could not be more thankful. My husband and I (and all of our guests!) had an amazing experience at Kensington and I would definitely, definitely recommend the venue to future couples!

    Kensington Golf & Country Club's reply:

    Thank you so much Emily & Terry! It was SUCH a pleasure working with you both, I'm so glad it turned out as beautifully as it did. Wishing you many years of happiness!

    A dream come true-Worth the wait

    Kensington exceeded our expectations, going above and beyond to help us create a dream wedding for our daughter.

    After Hurricane Ian destroyed our original venue 10 days before the wedding, Kensington was there to help us pick up the pieces and create the high-end dream wedding we all dreamed of. Colby and all of the staff were a pleasure to work with and made the process so easy for us! They worked with us to customize the menu and add a wine service to rival what we were planning at a local beach resort..
    Chef Ralph is very talented, the fillet, grouper and appetizers were delicious and the charcuterie display was a work of art. Our guests were all raving about the food!
    Additionally the Kensington wait staff and bartenders were friendly, well trained, attentive and professional.
    Lastly, the facility and grounds are so beautiful and well maintained with lots of places for photos!
    Overall we could not be happier that we chose Kensington for our daughter's wedding!

    The Most Outstanding Wedding Experience Ever

    From start to finish, Kensington was top notch. Colby Brooks was the best. Always responsive to our needs and went above and beyond the entire day.

    The perfect country club venue for a Naples wedding!

    My husband and I got married at Kensington in February, and it was the perfect venue! Both their indoor and outdoor spaces are gorgeous, they have a very large bridal suite as well as groom’s suite…so there is plenty of space to get ready and/or take photos before the wedding and to safely store your stuff during the wedding/overnight. I had an outdoor ceremony on the courtyard, with my reception being indoors, but another great thing about Kensington is that they have a back-up indoor space in case of unfortunate weather…and it is still beautiful! Also, the food was delicious and the service was impeccable. Unlike some of the other country clubs in Naples that I had considered for a venue, the staff and the wedding coordinator at Kensington seem to actually value the weddings…rather than see them as a nuisance to the community. For this reason, they run everything like a well-oiled machine and have great procedures and well-trained staff prepared for anything and everything. Not only that, but - between how beautiful the grounds and the clubhouse spaces are, how great the food and service is, and the central location…the pricing is pretty unbeatable. There are many other country clubs in Naples that are not even as nice as Kensington (or are equally so) that charge way more for things that Kensington includes in their wedding packages. Rather than itemize every little item and service they make it very easy to choose your menu, and they include a lot of things in their wedding package pricing that other country clubs add additional fees for..that make their costs much higher for an experience that is not better. All of those factors made Kensington the obvious choice of venue for me, and I’m glad I chose it because everything went absolutely perfect! I cannot thank Colby, Kelly, and the entire staff there for everything they did to make my day perfect!

    Couldn’t Have Asked For Anything Better!

    Truly the best place to get married! We had our original wedding venue destroyed by Hurricane Ian and quickly had to pivot to plan B. During a very stressful time, we met Colby, and she quickly became our saving grace. We had about two months to totally shift everything and Colby and the Kensington team made that happen with no issues at all. The communication was incredible and I never worried about anything going awry. We truly were in the best hands and could say a million wonderful things about Colby and the Kensington team. Would recommend again and again!

    Amazing place!

    We got married on August 30th 2022
    Perfect Venue for wedding reception. Our wedding was wonderful thanks to Kelly, she was the one who took care of everything from the beginning, We are amazed at how she handled everything perfectly and coordinated everything with only 3 months in advance, her work was exceptional and professional. Besides her job as a coordinator she is a sweet, caring and lovely person with a huge heart, I would say that (personally) She helped me tremendously, we love you Kelly, The food was amazing and the staff was so helpful. Thank you Kelly for making our dream wedding an AWESOME WEDDING.
    We highly recommend booking your wedding at “Kensington Golf and Country Club”

    Kensington G&CC

    Everyone wants the wedding to be flawless. Everybody expects over-the-service, especially the bride to be. The groom wants the bride to be happy and worry free.
    The food has to be excellent, the DJ has to own the dance floor. The photographer needs to be spot on and the florist needs needs to be fresh. The room has to be set up proper from linens to glassware, and all decorations combined -regardless of how many changes need to be made. The bar, property stocked and a compilation of staff at the ready, paying attention to every detail. All of this came to fruition for us, led by Kelly Leonard of Kensington G&CC. The entire kitchen, service and bar staff, we applaud for sure, excellent! We could not have pulled this wedding together in 90 days without Kelly!! A 5 star rating seems humbly insufficient! We can’t thank you enough for your patience, kindness, recommendations and professionalism!

    Amazing wedding day

    It’s been one year since my wedding and I still can’t get over how perfect everything thing turned out. The Kensington was the best setting for the out door wedding I was looking for. Kelly was my life saver during the planning process. She was so prompt and made me feel like I was the only bride she was working with. My family and friends still can’t get over how good the food was and perfect the back drop was! When I walked outside for photos and saw all the tables set up on the courtyard I was speechless!

    Our wedding dream!

    We are so grateful we were able to have our destination wedding and reception at Kensington! Kelly the planner was outstanding with communication and execution. A true professional at what she does and an amazing personality to go with it. They whole process was smooth. The venue was absolutely beautiful. We got married on the driving range, had cocktail hour on the balcony and had the reception in the courtyard. The the appetizers for cocktail hour were great and our plated dinner was exceptional! Everyone raved about the food and there was no waiting around hangry guests or vendors! Everything top to bottom was 5 stars! For what Kensington accommodates this venue is the best in Naples! Thank you Kensington, Chef and most of all Kelly!

    All our love from Cleveland Ohio

    Fairy Tale Wedding

    This venue and Kelly were absolutely AMAZING! I just had my wedding last weekend on April 10th. I was one of those brides that was supposed to get married in 2020. However, due to COVID, my wedding had to be postponed twice. Kelly was there every step of the way. She was so flexible, patient, and helpful. She was there to answer any questions that we had and was willing to meet with us when needed. She took care of small details for me and didn't get upset when I was indecisive about things and changed my mind. The staff at Kensington were amazing! So friendly and hospitable! The venue itself was gorgeous! The pricing was fair and the food was delicious! We had a wonderful wedding experience at Kensington!

    This venue is incredible!

    Our wedding experience at Kensington was better than anything we could have imagined! Kelly was so amazing and easy to work with! She is so experienced and handled all the details perfectly and coordinated everything allowing us to have a stress-free experience and wedding day. She was so fast to respond to any questions and made the planning process very easy, which is even more impressive since we only booked Kensington 3 months in advance of our wedding date. The pricing was easy to understand and you knew exactly what you were getting – the appetizers, meals, and alcohol were all priced in packages so it took out the “how many individual shrimp do you want” guessing game that I have seen at other venues. The food was delicious, and many guests let us know they were very impressed with the chef! The balcony made for an incredible cocktail hour and the layout of the rooms and the bar was perfect. They also have a big room for the bridesmaids to get ready in that was plenty of room for my bridal party of 12 and made for a great morning. The staff was friendly and helpful and the venue and landscaping is absolutely gorgeous - it made the experience unforgettable for us and our guests. I highly recommend booking your wedding at Kensington!

    Fairytale Wedding Come True!

    I cannot say enough great things about Kensington and Kelly! Our wedding day was a true fairytale. Kelly went above and beyond to make sure our day was everything and more – she is an absolute rock star. Everything was absolutely perfect and ran so smoothly. It was more than we ever could have dreamt. We are so grateful we decided on Kensington and so appreciative of Kelly and all her hard work to make sure our day was pure magic. The dinner service was incredible, our server Alexia was on top of her game the whole night making sure we always had a drink in hand. Everyone also loved the food, shout out to the chef! He even made us homemade pastries the morning of the wedding (what more can one want?). If you are looking for a wedding venue look no further, Kensington is the place to be!

    Amazing venue that includes everything

    When looking for a wedding venue, a lot of the places we looked at charged you individually for each napkin, each plate, each individual piece of passed hors d'oeuvres, etc. It was very difficult to figure out what the exact price would end up being, and it felt like it would be a surprise at the end. What we loved about Kensington was that it is a set price per guest and that includes everything from food to open bar to wait staff to linens and tables and chairs, etc. It made it very clear to see what you are actually going to end up paying. The service was fantastic. The food was delicious. And it's such a beautiful venue to get married at. We had our ceremony outside in the courtyard and it was so nice. Kelly was so helpful every step of the way with answering my questions and guiding us through the process. All of our family and friends have raved about what a blast they had at our wedding. We were really happy with how it all ended up working out and Kensington was by far the biggest part of that.

    Perfect: Easy, Helpful, Attentive, Gorgeous

    Honestly, it was a perfect night that could not have gone any better. It was worth every penny spent. Plus, it is one of the more reasonably priced venues here in Naples, FL!

    Where should I even start? First off, Kelly Leonard, their event coordinator, is absolutely fantastic. She works with the bride and groom from day one to help ensure that everything will go smoothly. There was never a doubt in my mind that she had our best interests at heart with every suggestion that she made. Any question I had was typically answered within 24 hours, an attentiveness you don't regularly see. The day of the wedding, she helped to make sure the room looked gorgeous and that we did not notice anything that went wrong (seriously, I had no idea about anything until after and neither did my guests). Kelly went above and beyond when my florist's columns fell, destroying one of the arrangements, finding other flowers to put together within 5 minutes before I even noticed the difference.

    The venue itself is stunning with multiple beautiful locations for both indoor and outdoor ceremonies, cocktail hours, and receptions. There is always room for a contingency plan in case of rain, and every option is fantastic.

    The food was delicious (I highly recommend the potato bites, BBQ salmon, and vegetable wellington options) and consistent among all of my guests. The chef worked with us to help accommodate some more difficult dietary requests and allergies, ensuring that everyone had an equally delicious meal.

    Finally, the staff was wonderfully attentive all day long. They helped make sure the room was flawlessly set, service was prompt, and that no one was left wanting anything all night long. My dad said his server never let his drink empty before offering another one, something he says is very important at a wedding with an open bar!

    We cannot thank the staff of Kensington Golf and Country Club enough for their wonderful service and help. It truly made our wedding that much more special.

    Thank you Ashley & Kenz. We were so happy to be a part of your big day. Congratulations! Wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness.

    Excellent. My vision was executed and the staff and Kelly were absolutely amazing. The attentive to details was what I expected and I received it.

    Kelly and her team are amazing and very professional. My husband and I enjoyed every moment and the planning was easy and not stressful.

It was PERFECT. Thank you Kelly, Chef Ralph and the Kensington team, truly professionals.

    Perfect Experience

    Kensington was my #1 choice due to the simplicity of their package. Everything is included in the "per plate" price, there is no confusion or any extra, surprise charges. Kelly was very helpful with the planning, from start to finish. The venue itself is very accommodating, comfortable, and beautiful. The staff was beyond pleasant. Thank you so much.

    The venue is absolutely gorgeous and the staff treats you like family.

    I could not imagine having my wedding anywhere else. Kelly, the event planner, and her staff went above and beyond to make my husband's and I wedding unforgettable and beautiful.
