| - My husband and I got married at the Orange Tree Golf Resort on April 28. It was a fantastic experience, and we are really happy that we chose to use that venue for our ceremony (reception was elsewhere). The Orange Tree is an excellent place to reserve a block of rooms. Their prices are unbeatable -- people who reserved rooms under our block rate paid $115+tax per night and $85+ tax per night if they caught the Black Friday special. Also, the rooms are all suites, which is excellent if you have a lot of friends from out of town who want to share a room and also work really well for after parties. The pool closes at 11pm, which is a bit of a bummer but I think pretty standard. Also, the bar closes at 6pm, which is somewhat odd. The ceremony venue was absolutely beautiful, and the staff were very nice and accommodating. Jennifer Hoffman, the head of catering, is very on top of things. I only had to ask her to do things once, and everything came together exactly as we had requested. The bell staff are also very nice and accommodating. The only reason that I gave the Orange Tree four stars, rather than five, was that the front desk seemed a bit disorganized. I had asked that we have a room as close to the ceremony venue as possible. They put us in Building 5, which was quite far from the ceremony venue. I had put welcome bags at the front desk for our guests. However, the front desk neglected to give them to five of our guests upon their arrival. These are small details that didn't really detract from the overall experience, but were somewhat surprising given their overall excellent service. I would recommend doing a wedding reception at the Orange Tree Golf Resort to anyone who wants a beautiful outdoor wedding.
