Mary Sent on 05/13/2022Beautiful venue
Beautiful place for any occasion. We had our wedding here and Victoria was so helpful and very efficient. She communicates and gets things done. She worked with Us through this whole process. With the all inclusive package They do everything and you just show up for your event. Food was so delicious we still get compliments on how good the food was. You have the choice to be inside or use the beautiful tent outside. We had a beautiful wedding, thanks to Macgregor Downs country club and Victoria.

Lisa M. Sent on 10/27/2019Wonderful experience! Highly recommend!
We were so very pleased with Nicole, Victoria, and the rest of the team at MacGregor Downs country club. My daughter's wedding was beyond what we hoped for. I fully recommend MDCC for your wedding or any event. So many of our guests could not get over the amazing food. My daughter and son and law were so very happy with everything! -

Rebecca D. Sent on 10/10/2019Best Decision We Made!
We had our wedding reception at the MacGregor Downs Country Club and it was such a wonderful experience! All of our guests raved about the food, and the staff was incredibly professional and catered to our every want and need! Nicole Moore, the catering coordinator, was fantastic. She helped us with so many decisions leading up to the party and she made everything we wanted happened with ease! Having Nicole was so helpful and saved us on having to hire a day-of-coordinator. She handled the schedule of events, menu, flower deliveries, rental deliveries, and band set-up. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Nicole and the MacGregor Downs staff. Having MacGregor Downs host our reception was the best decision we made! Also, you would assume having a country-club wedding would be very expensive, but it was very competitive priced. We looked at other venues and realized very quickly that MacGregor Downs was an excellent deal. You get the venue space, linens, chairs/tables, wait staff, a day-of-coordinator, and a huge selection of food for one flat rate which was very reasonably priced. I highly recommend this venue! Thank you MacGregor downs for such a wonderful experience! -

I want to start off by saying if you don’t get married at MacGregor Downs, you're making a mistake. Hear me out. I don't even know if I can adequately put into words how blown away I was by the way they seamlessly helped plan and pull off my wedding day, but I will try my best.
I think one of the most surprising things to me was that, even though I was told I would have a day-of coordinator, I had no idea what a vital part Victoria would play in the entire wedding planning process. She helped me nail down every detail during the 10 months leading up to my wedding. Seriously, no matter what wild idea I threw out there she was immediately on it and executing it flawlessly. She even researched and had a customized tee flag made with our initials embroidered on it. She helped me draw out a completely customized ceremony and reception layout and guided me through every detail of the decision process – from the linens to the ceremony arch to where each chair and table was placed.
The day of the wedding, she took care of every single item I brought with me (table numbers and decorations, guest book, welcome sign, cake topper) and made sure I was relaxed and taken care of all day. She even coordinated with the other vendors (DJ, florist, photographer, cake) to make sure everything ran smoothly. The ceremony was originally supposed to be outside, but because of rain it had to be moved indoors. Victoria and her team created the most beautiful, intimate indoor ceremony I have ever seen and honestly made that even more perfect than the outdoor ceremony I had always imagined. When it came time to take the pictures after the ceremony, Victoria tracked down a cart (the normal golf carts had been put away due to the weather) and drove us IN THE RAIN to the bridge we desperately wanted a photo taken at.
My wedding truly could not have been less stressful or more beautiful – and it was all thanks to Victoria and the rest of the team. She and Nicole worked from 8 am till (at least) midnight (probably much later) to make my day flawless and there are really no words that come close to thanking them enough for that. The two of them were professional and courteous and worked tirelessly through the whole day and night.
Other thoughts on the day:
• The food was incredible. My guests went back to the stations multiple times and raved about how delicious it was. Two months later, I am still hearing about the meal served at my wedding!
• Every member of the auxiliary staff (servers, bartenders, etc.) was pleasant and beyond helpful. The event was appropriately staffed and no one had to wait long for food, drinks, hors d’oeuvres, etc.
• Parking – adequate parking for guests, lot right next to building; many venues I visited downtown would require guests to park in decks or blocks away and walk. Having a lot adjacent to the venue, and a driveway where some guests can be driven right to the door, was extremely convenient.
• Privacy – while MacGregor is a golf club, you still feel like the entire place belongs to you that day. Even with people playing the course, the areas designated for the wedding are set aside for you and your guests and you don’t even notice if there is any other activity going on.
• Backdrop for pictures – this one is pretty self-explanatory but your pictures will be incredible. You have access to take pictures on the course (there are two bridges that make for excellent pictures), on the patio (lake/course backdrop), inside the building (lots of windows which help with pictures), around the corner of the club building with the blooming trees and shrubbery, we had pictures taken all over the place.
• I am a Type-A crazy person who had a natural tendency to think I should periodically walk out of my reception and “clean things up.” Before I even had a chance to let my OCD get the best of me, Victoria and Nicole had all the items I brought (frames, cake cutting utensils, seating chart, etc.) neatly re-packed as the guests flowed from one room to the next. It sounds weird to say, but Victoria and Nicole functioned like two extremely helpful/knowledgeable/hardworking sisters that day in the way they cared for me and managed the event.
I could honestly go on all day about all the details that made the day perfect, and I will sing Victoria, Nicole, Marielys (GM), and MacGregor Downs’ praises forever. I couldn’t imagine a more perfect wedding day and wedding, and I have a wonderful team of MacGregor ladies to thank for that.

Getting married at MacGregor was the best wedding decision I made! The staff were attentive, flexible, and helpful every step of the way. I had a brunch wedding and the food was delicious. Nicole and her team took care of so many things the day before and the day of- I don’t know what I would have done without them!! -

User1721074 Sent on 07/19/2014We really wanted an indoor venue that wasn't too stuffy for our May wedding, and after searching far & wide, we found MacGregor Downs Country Club. The most appealing thing about it initially is that unlike other Country Clubs, they did not charge a "Taxable Service Fee" of 22%, All taxes and fees were included - there were no hidden costs at all! We met with their coordinator and were pleasantly surprised by how nice and welcoming they were. They made a point of making us aware of their flexibility with EVERYTHING, and they were very thorough explaining how they normally run weddings, again noting things that could be tailored to our liking. The venue is gorgeous - it has a lodge feel on the inside, with beautiful exposed beams and hardwoods. The windows are huge and really bring the outdoors inside. The dining room overlooking the lake was our favorite part - it was absolutely breathtaking! The team there was great at communicating by phone and e-mail, and were fine with us stopping by whenever we had anything to discuss with them. The food was amazing, and the chef kindly altered the menu slightly for specific allergy concerns for our guests. Linda, the manager, was outstanding at making sure everything was planned out before our big day, down to the little details. On the day of, they took care of everything. I mean... everything! We did not have to worry about anything at all - it was stunningly beautiful and completely stress free. They have add-ons available such as draping for the outdoor ceremony tent, special linens, etc, but we decided against them. With everything that came standard, our ceremony and reception were still so beautiful. It didn't feel like anything was missing, because it wasn't! We didn't have the stress of renting tables, chairs, etc from some company - they took care of everything. We couldn't be more satisfied with the venue itself and the truly wonderful service we received. We would recommend this venue to everyone!MacGregor Downs Country Club's reply:
Thank You for your kind words!! It was a pleasure working with you.
Sincerely,

User1633759 Sent on 05/27/2014My wedding was in October 2013 and things have been crazy, so I am just now writing this review. We had a lot of family coming from out of town so we knew we wanted the ceremony and reception to be at the same venue. There is a brick pavilion outside looking over the golf course where we had our ceremony and our dance floor (they flipped it during dinner), then we had the dinner inside the main dining room. It was a beautiful setting and the staff was fantastic. We had one miscommunication when Elizabeth went out of maternity leave and Brooke took over, but it was resolved beyond our expectations. We had a tasting before the wedding and the food was great. We were concerned about them trying to make it in large quantities, but on the wedding day it was still fantastic. Wedding days can be stressful, but Brooke handled everything perfectly and we could not have had a better night. -
User1022073 Sent on 11/20/2012MacGregor Downs CC was the perfect place to have our daughter's wedding reception!! It was perfect from start to finish! The staff was amazingly friendly and efficient and great to work with. The atmosphere was just beautiful overlooking the golf course and the lake. The food was magnificent too and the whole evening was everything our daughter had dreamed of. Definitely pick MacGregor Downs CC for your reception- you will not be disappointed. It's not only a gorgeous place but it's elegant without being a stuffy country club!! Loved it and you will too!!

User921662 Sent on 09/04/2012Elizabeth and everyone at MacGregor were wonderful to work with! They made everything so stress-free. I was a little concerned because we had to change our reception venue last minute, and I hadn't heard much about receptions at MacGregor Downs. Everything turned out to be beautiful though! We also realized last minute that we had about 60 more people coming than we had initially expected. Elizabeth did everything she could to change around the setup for dinner and make sure everyone could fit inside for dinner!MacGregor Downs Country Club's reply:
Thank you! You were a pleasure to work with. I hope your family is doing well :).
