Brookside Golf Club Reviews

Wedding planning can be hectic, but the Brookside team was very supportive and wonderful! Our wedding was a dream came true! Our guests really enjoyed the food, and their staff was very friendly and helpful! 100 percent reconmend!

I love the place, even though it was out of our budget. It is a beautiful location and friendly tour guide

They are accomodating and nice ! They reply really fast :) price is within our budget!!! Can’t wait for their renovation to be done! :)

My husband and I got married at Brookside Golf Club in March 2018. We started working with Nicole Bergin but she moved to a different role, so Melissa Tapia took over towards the last 2-3 months until our Wedding Day. Both ladies and the entire staff are all very professional and courteous. We are very impressed by Melissa because she helped us answer our endless last minute questions with patience and speed. We moved our ceremony from the courtyard to underneath the patio to the banquet room. Melissa and her team were able to do their magic and accommodate us due to the rain. We had the best party of our lives at the beautiful venue. Everything was better than expected. We cannot thank Brookside enough for memories to last a lifetime!! Thank you all so much!

The day I toured Brookside, I knew it was the venue I would be having my wedding. From day one, I had all my questions answered and I knew I could contact my wedding coordinator and she would always be available. The day of my wedding, I was introduced to the staff and they took care of everything. I'm so glad I had my wedding reception here. Thank you Brookside for making my wedding the most memorable night of my life.

We booked this beautiful venue on the spot! Melissa was great help since day one, she made sure our meets were met and always had alternative ideas if something wasn't able to be done. Everyone that works at this venue is caring, professional, courteous and nice. We got married only 5 months after getting engaged. Brookside and Melissa made our dream wedding come true!!!

Nicole and her team provided exceptional customer service. From the moment we met with Nicole to the very end of the event, the delivery of service and positive attitude of Nicole and her staff was extraordinary. They were a pleasure to work with and helped make the process smooth sailing for us. Their commitment to making this experience amazing is truly appreciated.

Our company hosted a 400-person tailgate party a few weekends ago at Brookside Golf Club before the UCLA football game at the Rose Bowl. Nicole and the entire event staff were an absolute pleasure to work with! I've been responsible for coordinating these away game tailgates for my company over the past 4 years. This was by far the smoothest, most organized and most enjoyable event that we've ever hosted. Nicole was extremely accommodating throughout the entire planning process and offered great suggestions for our group. She was friendly, professional, patient and very organized. Her staff was well-informed, friendly and very helpful during the event. The ballroom/Mediterranean patio space was gorgeous and a perfect size for our group. We had an awesome time and would definitely recommend utilizing Nicole and her team at Brookside!

The event on July 30th was a California Wedding Reception for my daughter who lives and got married in New York on May 13th. I chose Brookside because of the familiarity with the venue, the location and the ample "free" parking. We went with the Southwest Buffet which gave us two choices of meat for the tacos, and all of the extras including rice and beans etc. It was excellent and we received a lot of compliments about the food after it was all over. Speaking of Melissa Tapia, she was the person I dealt with the entire time. She couldn't have been easier to work with. I needed a DJ for the music. Melissa suggested Danny Farrel of NYC DJs. Great suggestion. I mentioned to Melissa that I "thought" I needed flowers for the centerpieces on each table. Melissa suggested Bobbie's Blooms (Bobbie Kalendarian). The centerpieces were amazing and very reasonable (cost). Apparently there was another reception the day before and the room had these tiny white lights inside a sheer piece of fabric that was streaming throughout the ceiling of the banquet room. That really made the entire venue stand out. NYC DJs had a Photo-booth in one of their packages and I chose to get that too. It was strategically placed in the corner of the room and it was a big hit. To top it all off, I decided to hire a strolling magician to go from table to table and keep everyone involved. Rmax Goodwin (RMax Magic) was terrific. At first the guests thought it was weird to have a strolling magician, but at the end of the event people were asking Rmax for his card and telling me that it was such a great idea to have him there. . If you've gotten this far in this review and you're considering Brookside for your event, I strongly recommend that you contact their event planner Melissa Tapia. She was terrific!

We had our wedding reception at Brookside, and we are so happy with how smoothly everything went. Nicole is extremely organized and professional, their professionalism exceeded our expectations. Everything was set up so elegantly, the staffs were so friendly and attentive. We received so many compliments from our guests about how delicious the food was. I would highly recommend Brookside golf club!! I'm glad I chose them for my big day!

The servers and staff at Brookside were so helpful! We needed some extra tables last minute and they provided help without hesitation. Anytime we needed beverages or help with anything the staff was there to assist in every way.

Our office holiday party was absolutely amazing! The setting was intimate, it was beautiful, it was just perfect for us! The staff assigned to our event was very detailed and attentive. Special thanks to the whole team involved with our event. We are truly grateful. Can't say it enough. A huge THANK YOU to Kristen Rogers for her patience with all my questions. She is a true gem. Kristen never made me feel like I took too much of her time (which I know I did). She is friendly, kind, professional, detailed, attentive and a real pleasure to work with. Ask for Kristen!!! She will make you feel like it's her party too. I hope to work with her again in the future!

Brookside golf club is a really amazing venue. The site coordinator Kristen Rogers we worked with was really amazing. We literally planned our wedding in 4 months, and luckily there was an availability! She worked with my husband and I to make sure every detail was in place, walked us through all the decor, seating arrangements, ceremony and ballroom options. She is highly professional and very friendly. She responded quickly to all my emails and answered all of my questions. The venue was beautiful. The staff as well, very professional all my guest where talking about how attentive and professional all of brookside's servers were the day of the wedding. we booked our ceremony, reception, food, and bar through brookside. Everything made the process of planning a wedding in 4 months that much easier. The cake is through brookside as well and is included in the pricing if you pick one of their 3 vendors. We chose Cakery Bakery in La Cañada, super nice cake and very delicious flavors. I love the cake. Floral arrangements are not done through brookside that's something you have to do on your own.

All decor is set up by you, floral, any detail decorating is set up by you or your event coordinator if you have one.
The day of the wedding everything was set up and ready to go so, all my family and i had to do were put up all our floral arrangements and decor, which took less than 45 mins.

Golf carts are provided the day of if you chose to do your ceremony there, so pictures can be taken anywhere on the golf course. Lovely cocktail hour, my guest loved the food and beverages.

The guest could not stop talking about how soft the meat was on their plate and how delicious everything was.
Highly recommend doing the plated service, just looks more elegant when they serve it to you.
Overall everything turned out amazing, there wasn't a detail that went wrong or anything that was out of place. Brookside did an amazing job making our wedding a dream come true.

The team at Brookside Golf Club is AMAZING! I work in customer service and event planning myself, we live in LA, and searching for a venue for our wedding was starting to get a bit disappointing. I was shocked how so many venues, high priced venues at that, wouldn't even write any text in the body of an email and just send me an attachment of their "packages". I was a newly engaged bride, not one of the previous venues I reached out to said "Congratulations" or "Thank you for considering our venue, we are so excited to show you more." When I sent a quote request to Brookside I was so surprised to see exactly what I felt was missing. There was a beautiful, heart warming letter congratulating both of us on our recent engagement and tons of excitement and urgency to answer any questions I had and to get me to the venue to actually see the property. That alone sold me. I'm sorry, but if you can't write a simple one line "Congratulations! Thank you for looking at our venue, here are our packages that we offer. We would love to talk to you more about your wedding", I don't trust you with my wedding - plain and simple. I already decided I was going to book with them when I went to view the property. The manager of events at the time , Alyssa, was so happy that I signed she had a mimosa brought in for me and the rest of the girls in the office got some orange juice and we all says CHEERS! That was just the signing, planning with them was a BREEZE! They take care of so much, they have an AMAZING list of preferred vendors, and if you do choose them - take it from me who looked at all other vendors other than the preferred ones first - book the ones on that list! This team is SO accommodating, I won't go into detail, but just know they do EVERYTHING in their power to make sure there is no stress come your wedding day. The food was DELICIOUS and one of the highlights of the evening. You can't go wrong booking here!

The event planning team did an excellent job! Their attention to detail was very much appreciated!
The event planning team had a list of vendors for photography, flowers, special dessert for the occasion and the vendors we chose did a terrific job!
The food was excellent and the serving staff at the club were accommodating and professional!

Thank you one and all for doing a Great job and making our event a huge success!!!

The team at Brookside was amazing! They were a pleasure to work with, and they were all so helpful every step of the way. The venue is beautiful, and the staff was great. Everything ran so smoothly, and the event was a huge success. I hope to work with Brookside again in the future!

The Private Event Staff at Brookside Golf Club is terrific. I've been hosting events at Brookside for over 16 years and this current group of professionals is outstanding. Ashley Van Dissel, Alyssa Ligouri, Kristen Rogers and Susie Bolik are so easy to work with. I would definitely recommend Brookside as a venue that can accommodate just about any type of event.

The event planner at the club provided the best customer service we have ever received. She conducted a walk through of the tailgate space and surrounding area with a committee member months in advance and was extremely accessible and accommodating throughout the entire planning process. She provided a list of vendors for us to consider since we were on the opposite coast, communicated directly with the vendors we chose from their approved list to coordinate their parking passes, served as the liaison for all aspects of the preferred layout and set-up needs and coordinated with the caterer for all of our food/beverage needs in advance. On game-day she acquired extra staff to help with our set-up (even the small decoration tasks), initiated communication with our bus drivers to ensure an escort through traffic and a smooth drop-off, checked in with us frequently, fulfilled last minute requests to accommodate some vendors and was very friendly and approachable with the committee and guests. The tailgate space is next to the Rose Bowl making it very convenient for fans to walk to the game. The surrounding scenery is beautiful and the Club staff help provide a perfect experience for everyone involved.

The absolute best wedding coordinators there. They had the best customer service, timely responses, and overall enthusiasm to make our day absolutely amazing. Simply beautiful.

Ashley and the team were great and made my wedding everything I had hoped for! I highly recommend them and appreciate all their dedication and hard work

Ashley was amazing! She always responded all my emails and phone calls fast. She knows what's she's doing. And when she wasn't around the other ladies made sure she got my messages and did everything they could to help me. Overall the staff at the reception where also great from the waiters to the bar -tender.

Excellent customer service in all areas.

Excellent service, great food, everything was perfect!
