Testimonials

  • Wedding

    "My husband and I are so happy to have celebrated our wedding at The Vista on April 22, 2023! The Director of Private Events and Sales, Mackenzie was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process! She is incredibly welcoming, warm, and professional. I could not have imagined having another day of coordinator to help bring our special day to life. Additionally, the entire staff the day of our wedding were amazing. Zoe, who assisted Mackenzie was the best! She was Mackenzie's right hand and we were so happy to have her there to help with anything we may have needed. The entire dinner/bar staff were thoughtful, professional and engaging, we could tell they were genuinely happy to be there. The Vista has a unique homey feel that is unmatched and will leave you wanting to come back to relive the day over and over again. I am incredibly blessed and thankful to Mackenzie and all the staff at the Vista for making our dreams come true. Do not hesitate to book your special day here!"

    “The day went flawlessly. We did not have a coordinator but everything was set up so beautifully and nothing went wrong. The ceremony garden was stunning with an amazing view, the patio was perfect for cocktail hour and the tables and decor inside were put together perfectly! We had SO many compliments on how great the food was and the open bar added to the fun! We wouldn't have changed a single thing from our wedding day and we are on cloud 9 when we look at back at the pictures of the best day ever! Thank you Vista and everyone who contributed to making our day so special!”

  • Fundraiser

    I highly recommend using The Vista at Applewood Golf Course for any event. I hosted a dinner and raffle/auction for 75 and the event was spectacular. It was a pleasure working with Mackenzie, the event coordinator. She promptly responded to my requests and questions. The staff at the dinner was helpful and friendly and easily accommodated last minute seating arrangements. The food was delicious! I received so many compliments from the attendees about the venue and food. Our group will be coming back next year for another fun evening at this beautiful venue.

    "I hosted my book launch here and was so, so pleased. Everyone said the food and service were fantastic. Mackenzie was SO responsive and patient with my millions of questions leading up and Zoe, the banquet captain, was so kind, helpful, and even super encouraging to me the night of. There were NO issues whatsoever. They even let us draw on the windows with dry-erase markers for one of my chapter-based prompts. I meannnn...who lets you do that??!! I love The Vista (always have!) and actually hope to host more events for moms here!"

  • Wedding

    We hosted our 1-yr wedding anniversary at the Vista for 110 guests. From day 1, it was very easy working with Mackenzie. She provided us with all the information we needed and because she was very flexible and accommodating to any adjustments we had, we felt comfortable and confident with our decision to host our reception here. She provided us with clear deadlines and the total cost was transparent; there were no hidden fees and we never felt like we were caught off guard by any transactions. We appreciated how thorough she was throughout the planning process and how she offered insightful recommendations, such as rearranging the program so that the transition between events were well-organized and ran more smoothly with the catering team. She even created customized drink tickets to give out during our event. On the event day itself, Mackenzie and Zoe stayed for the majority of the evening to ensure everything went smoothly. The food was delicious and the catering staff were very efficient. We sincerely enjoyed being able to celebrate our 1-yr wedding anniversary and appreciate The Vista team making it such a memorable day for us.

  • Birthday

    We had a big birthday party this weekend and chose Applewood Golf Course to host our event. We’re so glad we did. The area was ample for all 70 of us. There was room to dance, an outside deck, lots of tables. The food was fantastic and the staff were outstanding. The price was very reasonable. We will choose this location again for ANY event that calls for it. Thank you Applewood! Thank you Mackenzie!

  • School Banquet

    We held our high school boys swim & dive banquet at Applewood Golf Course last evening and it was a fantastic event. Mackenzie was great at keeping my informed and on track through out the planning process and Zoe and the rest of the staff were awesome the night of the event, we even had some challenges with additional last minutes guests and the staff handled the situation with complete professionalism. We will be back next year!

  • Celebration of Life

    Applewood Golf Club did a wonderful job for a family member’s Celebration of Life. The Vista Room is large and quiet for an event like ours and the staff was so nice to work with. Everyone mentioned how lovely the room was set up for us and the food was great. Would highly recommend for any type of event. Thank you to everyone at Applewood who helped make a stressful event so much less stressful and successful​.
