Alta Vista Country Club

My husband and I got married here last month. Over the last 10 months of planning and preparing for the big day, Taryn and Hilary were the easiest and most helpful people we have dealt with. They were quick in their email responses, always happy to answer another question, and gave great recommendations when we couldn’t decide on a detail. The day of the wedding went so smoothly and we greatly attribute that to Hilary and Miguel. Miguel was there everywhere I turned to lend a helping hand! To hold my train, hold my bouquet, offer us a drink of water when we were under the sun taking photos. We can’t express how appreciative we are for all of their hard work.

We had our wedding at AVCC last month and it was such a wonderful evening. My husband and I loved everything about it … Taryn and her amazing team of rock stars were absolutely helpful from day one! Here’s our email we sent to Taryn:
Eric and I want to thank you so much for everything you and your entire team at AVCC did to make our wedding a fun and memorable one for us and our guests. We are seriously (more me!) having wedding withdrawals and miss all the craziness and planning leading up to the day. It was an amazing evening and we could not have chosen a more perfect venue for our reception and have an amazing team to help create it. We absolutely love your team … from day 1 … Eric and I never had to worry about anything. Hilary and Miguel were amazing and I must say, Miguel was just the best. Once our limo pulled up to the front, he was right there to greet us and cater to my needs immediately. He not only made sure that I was fed, but also my bridesmaids. As we were taking photos on the course, he had 3 golf carts brought over for Eric and I to use, and for my bridesmaids (who were in heels!) & video/​photographers. I honestly don’t know how we would have gotten through those 2 hours without him.
We have received compliments about how your team handled the buffet line. It was executed flawlessly and we got our pictures with each table and our guests were fed. Food was amazing! We had thought our vendor meals would be plated and given to them, and one of our vendors had asked Eric and I when they would be getting their meals … Miguel was right there to take care of them without us having to deal with the matter. We LOVE your recommended vendors — Station Identification, Victoria’s Garden, and Creative Cakes were wonderful to work with!
Thank you for answering all my emails, especially the weeks/​days leading to the day. LOL! You and Hilary were always prompt and responded quickly.
We cannot thank you enough, Taryn and AVCC. Our reception was more than we had envisioned and you guys had a part in that and we will never forget it.

Just a note… «Alta Vista?»… sort’a sounds like the Florida community of Seinfeld’s parents, right? :-) … anyway, and that aside…
We have a group of friends that share the hosting of a monthly dinner. There are times when one of us can’t make it happen at our home, so we elect to host the other couples at a restaurant or venue that has food service. This was one of those times… and as for me, I felt like we «lucked out.»
Our group was only six couples this past weekend. And heading to a Sunday Brunch I’d never visited, I really didn’t know what to expect. But from the high ratings for this country club, felt that whatever they served, and however they put it all together, it would be good. And it ended up being all that. The country club uses one of their main dining rooms, which is adjacent to the bar and the lobby. What’s great, is that the dining area is lined with large picture windows looking out to the golf course.
The buffet tables are small in relationship to what you’d expect in Vegas. But their offering covers all the critical bases. And the cost of just under twenty-​dollars can’t be beat. With a modest salad bar, including smoked salmon and bagels, they also have eggs benedict, potatoes a couple different ways, and a few other hot entrees including baked fish. They also have an omelette station. And beyond all that, there’s a meat station with rare prime rib and roasted turkey. Top all this off with a dessert table of cookies and a few cakes, and a rather tasty champagne served at your table. All beverages are refilled «forever», along with the orange juice and coffee.
What really makes this a worthwhile Sunday brunch destination is the extremely comfortable atmosphere. For whatever reason, the dining room was only about 30% occupied. I believe there was seating in and around the bar and the other adjoining dining area. That probably relieved the main room of «crowding.» So, I am giving this location 5-​stars because it’s everything I enjoy in a casual Sunday brunch; good food, open seating with a view, and incredibly attentive service. And yes, it’s also a rare value at nineteen bucks plus a tip for a wait staff that actually deserves it!

I had my wedding here on 11÷14÷15 and Taryn, Hilary, and Miguel made it the best day of my life! I couldn’t have asked for a better day. Taryn and Hilary fielded all my questions up until the wedding time (and always responded very quickly). From there, Miguel was at our beck and call. Our drinks were never empty. And all throughout the day of the wedding, Miguel was accommodating not only us, but our guests too! Taryn and Hilary were always present and always made sure we were had what we needed. Our guests all enjoyed the food (we had the jumbo coconut shrimp appetizers and for the choice of entrees we had the tri tip and the chicken piccata).
It was nice to know that we could depend on Alta Vista to take care of everything for us. Their wedding packages are comprehensive and affordable (let’s face it, all wedding venues charge an arm and a leg ~ just because it’s a wedding!). But after collecting info from other venues, Alta Vista had everything we needed and I feel like we had a great package deal. When making our decision, we read all the reviews of each venue, but Alta Vista’s wedding reviews were always consistent… and there’s definitely a reason why. Thank you to Taryn, Hilary, and Miguel for making our wedding day feel like a breeze!!!

Came here for a wedding and the food and staff was wonderful. I would highly recommend this venue for events!

my family had a wedding here, and it was quite nice.
we had the privileged to have an outdoor wedding, thank God it didnt rain down on us. the staff was wonderful and they listen to us and helped us in anyway they can without breaking their rules. they listen and explain things very well.
the out door seating was quite nice, and it wasn’t noisy event the road was right over the wall, it seated about 250+ people, and it had very cute features such as light pole, and two different entrance area, and gazebo. other stuff the staff decorated it.
the wait… i don’t know if the wedding coordinator did this, but the wait for the dinner was pain stalking… it took forever event we had snacks… but once the dinner service started the staff was speedy and friendly. the food was mediocre but other people liked it and my parents loved it. i had steak, it was NY? mine was confusing, but i’m sure it was NY strip, mash potatoes, and steam veggies that seemed like it was washed in warm water, but steamed and soft, but not too soft.
over all the dinning area seated everyone with a pretty large dancing floor, we had enough room where my elbows didn’t touch other people on my table.
over all it was a nice wedding, i tried not to add things that wasn’t relevant to the wedding but to the stuff the staff set up or the golf club did…

Taryn, Hilary and MIGUEL did an EXCELLENT job ensuring our wedding day was one to remember for awhile. From day one of the planning process, they made sure it went smooth. This place was the first my wife looked into for wedding venues, and i was very skeptical at first, because we said we were going to «shop around» first, but she fell in love with the place at first glance. When I FINALLY decided to take a look at the place, I pretended as though it was «aight» lol, and deep inside, i felt like this was one of the best decisions she’s ever made! Very impressed with the venue, from the staff to the food to the hospitality service, this is an awesome venue to have your next event at, especially weddings! Worth every penny…

We just had our wedding here. BEST DECISION EVER! These people know how to execute flawlessly. All inclusive with REALLY affordable prices (and multiple packages), yet still willing to let you make it your own. Taryn, Hillary, and Miguel make your life so easy. I wish I could experience the night over and over again.
One piece of advice: their recommended vendors are already the best. Save yourself time and heartache and just trust them.
Thank you for the best day ever!

I am slowly growing a hatred for these clubs.
alas; I am reviewing this one.
Not to ‘toot-​my-​own horn’ or anything, but i have been inside of enough golf clubs/​country clubs to get a trustable opinion, which is that there is nothing that stands out about this, unless you love golf and do not have access to a car, i would suggest avoiding this one.

My wedding was yesterday (November 21, 2015) and I have to say it was AMAZING! It was AMAZING because of the staff at Alta Vista Country Club! Aside from the beautiful venue, the ABOVE AND BEYOND service I got at Alta Vista Country Club was like a dream! Miguel, Taryn, Hilary, the servers, Bar staff made my bridal party and I feel like kings and queens! Taryn and Hilary did an amazing job setting everything up the way I imagined it! My bridal party felt so loved becAuse of Alta Vistas 10 star staff! Thank Miguel! Thank you Taryn & Hilary! You truly made me day the BEST DAY EVER! My guest kept telling me that this is by far the BEST wedding they have ever been to!

Miguel is amazing. Hospitality is his middle name. From the very beginning he was more than helpful and accomodating. Taryn and Hillary are were great day of coordinators. Helpful and friendly. It wasn’t my wedding but I felt just as special as the bride. I know that the bride had a great day because of the hard work of these there people. Thank you.

Brunch is great here! For $ 19 you get unlimited champagne and brunch. What a value! The food choice doesn’t include seafood, but the food they had was delicious! The prime rib was so delicious, the eggs benedict spot, and the smoke salmon was exceptional. Service was great (we had Billy again), and the views are amazing. When you are done eating grab one more glass of champagne and sit outside and watch the golfers. Great way to spend a Sunday morning!

Okay so I have been photographing weddings for more than 10 years now. I have never worked at a more amazing location. There is one employee there his name is Miguel Herrera and he is like a super hero. I have never seen someone work so hard. I hope Miguel’s bosses know what a piece of gold they have in him. Truly never seen anything like this ever! My review is really for Miguel but the other employees at Alta Vista were amazing too. I hope I get a chance to photograph here again soon. If you are thinking of having your wedding here take it from me, there is no better place. I would give this place 10 stars if I could. One more thanks to Miguel Herrera.

Alta Vista Country Club was an amazing place to have my wedding. I was very impressed at how promptly the coordinators, Taryn and Hilary, would answer any little question I had. They would email or call back within a day. The preferred vendors they work with are great. The florist and baker were awesome!
Miguel, the service manager, is seriously THE reason you need to book this venue. My husband, bridesmaids and our parents were raving about how awesome he was. He is very personable and a genuinely nice person. He makes you feel like royalty and ensures you are taken care of the entire night. During the rehearsal dinner he brought everyone drinks and socialized with the bridal party. On the day of the wedding he brought us all drinks and escorted us around the lake with the golf carts. He was there until the end of the night and made sure I, and all the guests were having a good time. If I needed anything, he would help me out immediately. I can’t thank him enough for everything he did.
The only thing that would make this place perfect is getting a bridal suite. We were able to use the women’s locker room, which is a very cute room. They have beautiful rustic furniture, a big tv, and huge area to get ready. I only wish it was more private. The grooms area was not very nice, and they did not have a place to shower. It would be a good investment given the large amount of weddings they host. The parking lot is a big private lot and I loved that people were able to leave their cars overnight.
Taryn and HIlary set up the decorations exactly the way I wanted them. I was nervous it wasn’t going to look nice because I gave them the stuff and didn’t get a chance to tell them exactly how I wanted them. They had easels I was able to use for some of the signs I had. They made it look beautiful and took care of the set up the morning of the wedding. Our guests had a great time and I loved every minute of it!

Alta Vista Country Club is a great venue for an all-​inclusive wedding. We had our ceremony at the Gazebo, which happens to be private and very beautiful. We were able to host our cocktail reception outside which was a huge plus for us as our wedding was on the Friday prior to Labor Day. The locker rooms are great for getting ready prior to the ceremony. The outside fire pit worked perfectly for our Photo Booth and Cigar Lounge. The lights on the course trees make the evening views sparkle. This is a great venue that offers wonderful weddings /​receptions for all budgets. We elected to do the Diamond Package.
Taryn was a delight to work with during the planning stages. She took time to answer all our questions and sometimes daily emails. Hilary can easily step in when Taryn is off and they make a perfect pair to help coordinate wedding details. They set up our tables and room nicely that day of the wedding. That service comes with booking your wedding with Alta Vista. Not many places can say that. Another really big plus is that while taking photos, the wedding party is served cocktails and appetizers. Miguel is a superstar and really makes sure the Bride and Groom are treated like royalty the day of the wedding and through the entire reception. Guest love Miguel as he tries to make sure everyone is happy and taken care of during the night. He really spoiled us and also took some great photos alongside our professional photographer. Miguel made sure we stayed hydrated throughout the day/​night and it really made a huge impact on us. Miguel ROCKS! The wedding reception went so well guest did not want to leave. Lots of fun, leaving to a sparkler send-​off is a blast, great times and memories were made.
There were a few hiccups /​issues that took place during the ceremony and the staff at Alta Vista did what they could to make sure it did not impact the night negatively. They also took time to hear our concerns a few days later and we felt they listed and responded appropriately. We would definitely recommend Alta Vista for your wedding needs.

I went here for a wedding reception on Saturday, and it was fantastic! The view is beautiful with an abundance of lush green «grass» and outside they have really nice seating arrangements around a fire pit. The inside of the venue was smaller, but very nice. They have a little bar with hustling bartenders (the level it was at was lower than the rest of the place, which I thought was a little weird), a dance floor for dancing your booty off (best believe I was on it), and an eye-​pleasing set up of tables and glassware.
Now, MIGUEL, and the server (I forget his name) were beyond amazing! They were both very attentive and went above and beyond. ESPECIALLY MIGUEL. He was hilarious, hospitable, fun, and always around when we needed something. He went around to every table, talking to them and giving them whatever they needed, and provided entertaining conversation. One of the bridesmaids got her dress dirty and Miguel came over with a bowl of water and baking soda (or club soda? Idk haha) and SCRUBBED HER DRESS FOR HER. Amazing. He also kept us pleasantly satisfied by replenishing our table with the delicious stuffed mushrooms we loved so much (they kept going in the back and giving us all they had until there were none left). Miguel made the evening.

Where to even begin with Alta Vista, everything they did for my wedding exceeded my expectations and more. We were able to have the wedding of our dreams here, and I can’t thank them enough for it!
I’ll start with Alta Vista as a venue. Their prices are VERY reasonable– my fiancée and I wanted an open bar and AVCC prices were great for that. Also, they own their own Chivari chairs so you don’t need to rent any, which is great because most places charge $ 5 a chair. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful and makes for some great photos. Anddd, their food is really good! A lot of people commented on how tasteful it was!
Taryn and Hillary– the wedding coordinators. Together they answered all of my emails (as a crazy bride there were plenty) within 24hrs, most of the time within an hour of when I sent it. They were always extremely gracious when my mother and I would ask for a meeting, they always made time for us. Taryn (who we worked with the most) gave us ideas for the wedding without pushing them on us, I found all of her suggestions very helpful. I even had to change the day of our wedding after we booked it and she was very kind and understanding, and did not charge us anything.
Miguel– I don’t even know what his title is but he is The Man. On our wedding day he made everything happen. The minute we got there he had ice water for us and cocktails. He drove our videographer and photographer on the golf cart. He even cleaned my dress with seltzer water. One of our guests lost her cell phone, and within 5 minutes (I’m totally serious) he had it back in her hands. I had people asking me weeks after our wedding who he was, people loved him. My husband and I got a photo with him after the wedding because he was so amazing. He even bought a purple shirt and tie to match our wedding! I can’t say enough good things about him.
My wedding coordinator said that AVCC was one of the best venues she’s worked with. Overall, the venue is goregous, but the people who work there are even better. Thank you, AVCC!!!

Went here for a wedding and I really appreciate the nice view and the cleanliness.
Also, the waiters were awesome especially Billy who was very friendly and attentive. He recommended their Sunday brunch buffet here which is already in my bookmark to try. (reservation required)
They have a golf store too!

My spouse and I married 11÷16÷14. We have a set budget and have checked several places from Orange, LA, Riverside, San Diego Counties (even went to Las Vegas and Northern California) to look. Some places have their pluses and minuses. But hands down, Alta Vista was the best. Why?
–exceptional service (Taryn, Hilary and Miguel)
–very reasonable prices
–very flexible (we have sparklers for send off)
–ample parking
–very good food (we chose the top sirloin with sautéed mushrooms with garlic mashed potato and vegetable medley)
–private gazebo for the wedding (beautiful)
–separate indoor banquet facility for the wedding reception
–clean restrooms and locker rooms (very important)
–good wedding price packages to choose from
–awesome list of preferred vendors
It’s like a one stop shop.
A week later, we are still getting calls and compliments from our friends and family.
Thank you Alta Vista.

This is my second time eating their Sunday brunch. My girlfriend doesn’t want me to post this review because she’s afraid it’s going to be too popular and crowded because of my awesome review!
First and foremost, the service is excellent. The staff remembered us and was warm and inviting! The food is great! I first went for a slice of prime rib, sausage, and bacon. Then, I got a waffle from their waffle station (whipped cream, strawberries, butter, and syrup). Then I got chile rileno, sautéed vegetables, and their stuffed potatoes. I’m normally not that fond of potatoes, but I had to get seconds of that. It was so flavorful and creamy!
The servers always topped off my water, orange juice, and chilled champagne. At $ 18, you can’t go wrong coming here for a nice relaxing meal.
