This place was great. Huge shout out to Nicole!!!! She is the director of sales and catering, and she was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was on top of everything and did an amazing job to keep things running smoothly, even with a little rain right before the ceremony! She was very accommodating and made planning so much easier. The food was also fantastic! Not only did we think it was delicious, we received many compliments from our guests. The wait staff was great too. Everything went smooth throughout the day and into the night, and I know it had a lot to do with the staff taking care of so much. From food prep and serving to drinks and clean up everything was made easier because this staff and venue.

Southview was the perfect venue for our wedding reception! We had a great experience working with Southview from start to finish. We worked with Nicole and Sharlee, and they were both so friendly and professional, and they made us feel so at ease through the process! They were also very prompt in responding to e-mails and phone calls, which was much appreciated. We were very pleased with their meal selection and that they were able to make all the food gluten free, even the dinner rolls, at no additional charge! The staff was also very helpful in setting up for the reception, and we were able to get into the room the day before to set up, which was amazing and alleviated any last minute stress. Sharlee also came in early the day-of to receive delivery of our cake and cupcakes! The ballroom is beautiful, and our guests also enjoyed the outdoor patio during the evening. We loved having our dance floor beneath the high vaulted ceiling! My husband and I were also very impressed by the punctuality of the catering staff on the day-of. The salad course and entrees were brought out efficiently according to our timeline, and we were so pleased that guests weren't left waiting for their food. I had Top Sirloin and my husband had Herb Seared Salmon, and both were to die for! Guests raved about the appetizers and their meals, as well! I was told by quite a number of guests it was the best wedding food they'd ever had! Their pricing is affordable, the food is fantastic, and the staff are a pleasure to work with. The grounds are also immaculate, and our photos are going to be absolutely stunning. We had such a perfect day, and it wouldn't have been possible without Nicole, Sharlee, and the Southview team that made it the success it was. We highly recommend Southview to any couple looking for a gorgeous and elegant venue with wonderful food and service. Thanks again for helping make our day run so smoothly!

The country club itself is beautiful as they just remodeled over this past winter. My parents are members, so the cost was a solid deal for us. The food was absolutely amazing, and...

we had so many guests complement just how good the food was! The bar service was also great. We had the most amazing day however I do have some feedback to give. If you do end up picking this venue, please be aware that there is no bridal/ grooms suite and if you do use the "card room" they will have you remove items from that space around 6pm. So, I would recommend getting ready offsite and plan on keeping most personal items either with a trusted family member or back in your vehicles. They do not have an elevator so if you do have elderly guests it would behoove you to ask to use the golf carts. Unless it is raining like it was for mine and they did not allow us to use them. Next if you are thinking of getting a day of coordinator, please do so for this venue does not have appropriate staff to help set up decor and or follow instructions clearly written out for them. Overall, the space was set up mostly to my liking with the help of my amazing family guiding the venues staff on where to put things. If you are to pick this venue, please be prepared to ask all the questions you need to confidently select this venue.

Amanda O

We loved working with Southview for our wedding! They were always quick to answer questions, despite a few changes in staff during our planning process. They were great at helping ...

us plan details that made the wedding truly our own. We have heard from many guests that the food was their favorite wedding meal ever! We completely agree that the meal was amazing. They were extremely helpful making sure we could accommodate our guests' dietary needs as well. The whole venue is beautiful and neat. Southview also went above and beyond to allow us to set up on Friday night and then boxing up all the decorations for us so that when we came to clean on Sunday all we had to do was pick up the boxes. They had all the details correct and made the wedding way less stressful!

Kristin B

My intended reception place had a fire, and it just so happened that Southview had an opening! I’m so glad my reception was at Southview! Staff was very helpful. There was only one...

little complaint, but it was because of the rushed planning due to the fire and a switch in staff-our ceiling draping didn’t make it onto the contract, so during our day before walk through the CC had no idea what we were talking about when we asked when the draping would be hung—but Crystal went immediately to her office and called every company that does draping and thanks to her hard work we did have draping for our reception! It’s been about 2 months since the wedding and people are STILL raving about the food! We had a breakfast buffet which some of my older guests were weirded out about...but once they ate it they changed their minds! :) The rooms were beautiful. The deck was great to use (and the original CC we wanted didn’t have that feature! See things happen for a reason) We were given some golf carts to take pictures of the wedding party on the beautiful grounds. Highly highly recommended! Thanks Southview!

ahold of her especially when last minute things changed! Everything turned out perfect and the night was completely stress free and outstanding! The venue itself was also breathtaking and will make for some pretty beautiful pictures! I would give Kathy, her team, and the venue more than 5 stars if that was possible! A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone at this venue!!

I truly don't have words. De Anna is an absolute angel and we couldn't have planned our wedding without her! We chose Southview Country Club because of how gorgeous the space was a...

nd because of her. She was so prompt with emails and captured our vision perfectly! We got married October 7th 2017 and we are still getting compliments a month later of how gorgeous our outdoor ceremony was, how amazing the food was and how smooth the day went! My mom raves about De Anna to everyone. She helped her handle being the mother of the bride and was there for us throughout the whole day. Through my tears, laughs and all the chaos in between, without a doubt, I would HIGHLY recommend Southview Country club. We seated about 150 guests on the patio comfortably for our outdoor ceremony and 200+ in the Andrews room for the reception, with room to spare! The location is tucked away from busy roads, it was almost like we were hidden but still in the metro area! My husband and I are so very thankful for all the staffs hard work because they truly went above and beyond! Thank you De Anna and Southview Country Club!

special day. Plus, the location is beautiful and they partner with some fantastic vendors. A lot of people will turn down a country club without looking at it because they assume it is out of their price range, but Southview was competitive with every other venue I looked at. I could not have been happier with my reception venue: Southview Country Club is AMAZING!

tiful and I am sure our pictures will show that. The ballroom itself was beautiful and didn't require much extra decorating. Most of all, De Anna was so easy to work with. She was prompt with responses and super professional throughout the process, which was stressful for me at times. I didn't have to worry about anything on the big day. Everything was taken care of for me. I would recommend this venue to everyone. Awesome awesome experience.

Alyssa C

We had our wedding reception at Southview on August 26th, 2017 and it was nothing short of perfect. From the initial planning to the evening itself, the process was fun, painless, ...

and exciting. The catering manager, De Anna, was the first reason we changed our minds from another venue as she has an amazing way of putting your mind at ease and turning any stresses into excitement! This was especially helpful as I was an out-of-state bride. She was accommodating of the dates we were able to make it up for our tour and tasting. And speaking of tasting, our guests could not get over how delicious the food was! The chicken Minnesota and signature potatoes were a hit and the catering staff outdid themselves with making sure the food was brought out hot. We had a last minute conundrum with our cupcake stand but we were able to use SVCC's beautiful arrangements an it ended up looking better than our original plan. There was another event going on at the same time which I was initially nervous about, but had I not been aware of this beforehand I would have never known. I could go on an on about how great everyone was to work with so I'll leave it at this; If you're contemplating touring or booking Southview for your wedding ceremony/reception venue, just do it. It was the BEST wedding decision I made, second to who I chose to marry :) Thank you for going above and beyond, and for making our day more than we could have ever imagined!

Candace R

I really, truly cannot say enough about how WONDERFUL Southview Country Club, ALL of their staff and the venue itself were! DeAnna was absolutely wonderful to work with from begin...

ning to end and beyond accommodating to all of our vendors! If I could, I would give her & Southview 10 stars because they really were that great! :) The bartenders, wait staff and the rest of the help were so kind and made sure each and every guest(all 240+ of them!) were attended to and made sure the Groom and I were happy with everything. Multiple guests told us how wonderful everything was as well! The food was wonderful and they helped tremendously with cleanup so that the Groom and I didn't have to worry about a thing. I am so very grateful we chose Southview Country Club for our reception venue!!! I will most definitely be recommending them! Thank you again!!!! :)

She and her team were an absolute joy to work with, they made our vision for the day a reality, it was everything we could have hoped for and so much more. The grounds are GORGEOUS (I am so in love with our photos), the food is amazing, and the club is full of wonderful people, willing and ready to help make a bride and groom feel like the most important people to ever step foot inside. Our guests are still giving us compliments about the day! I truly cannot say enough good things about the Southview staff. We would recommend this place again and again for anyone getting married or looking for a place to hold an important event!!!

De Anna the event coordinator was amazing- she was very flexible with our schedule since we were out of town the week before our reception. Everything went perfect, I couldn't have asked for a better day, from arrival, to taking a few photos on the grounds at sunset, cocktail hour, the food (we were in Mexico for our wedding and we were able to do a taco and fajita meal), dancing, etc. Everything went smoothly. De Anna worked so well with the DJ and photographers that I brought in- everyone worked together as a team, which allowed everything to go so smooth! I have also attended work events at Southview Country Club and have never had a bad experience. Wonderful venue!!!!

endless comments from our guests that this was the best wedding they've ever attended! We wouldn’t change a single thing about our experience with Southview. De Anna Paulette was fantastic to work with from our first tour of Southview to the follow up email she sent the week after our wedding. Planning a large event can be stressful, but every interaction with De Anna (phone, email, and in person) left me feeling happy and relaxed – she and the Southview staff know exactly what needs to happen to put on an outstanding event! It was so great to feel such confidence in De Anna and the venue – I went into our wedding day with zero worries, and everything went beautifully! We cannot say enough how wonderful our wedding day was, due to the outstanding service of De Anna and the staff at Southview!

The venue was very spacious and we also had excess to the patio that was right off of the ball room we used. The view on the patio was pretty of the greenery from the golf course. We are very happy we made the decision to have our reception at SVCC and would definetly recommend having a reception their to anyone.

Whatever questions or concerns I did have they were taken care of or answered right away. My night went perfectly I could not ask for better service and food. I was very happy with the venue and the price I paid. Worth every penny. I would recommend this place to anybody who is getting married!

Southview was a great venue to work with. They were very accommodating of our requests to make this reception truly unique for us! Location: Easy to get to for our guests and ju...

st a few miles from our church and families. Space: Just enough space for our 250+ guests to be comfortable. Formal dining room, large dance floor and the bar is conveniently located for everyone. Food: We decided to go with a buffet and were able to choose a nice variety to please everyone. The food was amazing! I'm still getting compliments on it! We also had display appetizers that were set up beautifully. Price: Our price included room fee, dance floor, buffet and appetizers for 260+ guests, hosted beer and wine, ceiling draping, full service catering staff, taxes and service fee. It was less than we expected for being a Country Club that we don't belong to, especially when compared to other country clubs in the area that we inquired about. Service: The Catering Director was more than helpful and knows her job well. She was great to work with and available whenever we had questions. The staff was also very helpful and had the venue set perfectly. If I had to do it again, there isn't much I would change which I don't think most brides can say in hindsight. One bit of advice I will give to brides choosing their venue is to go with the recommended vendors that the venue suggests. They are the experts, and they know who works well and who does not in their space. I say this because we would have gone with their suggested DJ because ours wasn't set up properly for the space and difficult for most guests to hear. Thanks Southview!

I had a great experience with this venue. The catering director was great and easy to work with and the staff did a great job to make our wedding day special.

From day 1 I knew I wanted Southview as our venue. De Anna was amazing. Every time I spoke with her she put me at such ease with everything. I had no idea what I was doing and she ...

gave me lists of things I would need and lists of things she would need from me. Day of our wedding, De Anna was there every step of the way. She's the reason my experience was so great. De Anna aside, the food was to die for. The guests of our day are still talking about the food! Everything tasted to perfection. The venue made for some gorgeous photos. All of the green, the trees and ponds made some of photos even better than I could have imagined!! I would recommend Southview to everyone. It was an outstanding experiance. I would have just about any occasion held there!

My husband, James, and I were married on August 30th, 2014 at the Church of the Assumption in downtown Saint Paul and held our reception at Southview Country Club in West Saint Pau...

l. From the moment we stepped into Southview and met De Anna, we knew this place was the perfect venue! De Anna put our minds at ease as her organized plans kept us on schedule with food tastings, table layouts, guest counts, and everything in between down to the smallest details throughout the entire planning process. She even put together our timeline which we were able to give to all of our vendors. On our big day Julie was running the event as De Anna was in a wedding on the same day as our wedding. Julie and the staff were exceptional during the reception and everything had turned out exactly as we had hoped. The grounds of the course are beautiful and there are flowers in everything windowsill at the club. The patio was very pretty and the rooms inside were gorgeous with the twinkle lights and ceiling drapes. The food was awesome (I keep hearing from people how good the food was) and the staff were very friendly and thoughtful throughout the night. They recently added a brand new dance floor which was occupied all night long! Our guests are still telling us our wedding reception was the most fun one they had ever been to. We highly recommend Southview as the perfect place to hold your wedding reception. We guarantee planning the reception party will be the part of the planning process you worry the least about - all because De Anna and the Southview staff are a dream to work with.
