Xavier the bartender was GREAT!! We loved how involved he was with the crowd. He was very enthusiastic and fun! He interacted with the guests and was super fun! I’m glad they let come dance for a couple of songs, he was such a vibe!!

We ate in the restaurant very good experience before Covid and happy memories but food for many of our party was terrible. The fish was not good plates were not hot and the artichoke dip was very salty it was my main dish I and could not eat half of it. Waitress was very attentive and kind did serve food across the table which is a no no with waiter training we had in times gone by. Skip and choose somewhere else with hot food and better chef.

Our experience at The Trout Club for our wedding was nothing short of magical. Every single aspect of our special day was flawlessly executed, exceeding our highest expectations. The team at The Trout Club went above and beyond to ensure that everything was perfect. Amanda Reynolds - she makes this happen. Her and her assistant were the best thing since sliced bread!

From the moment we first connected with Amanda and the staff at the Trout Club, we were impressed by their professionalism and attention to detail. They were incredibly responsive to all of our questions and needs, making the planning process smooth and stress-free. Plus, they were accommodating to our specific requests, making us feel truly valued and taken care of.

One particularly standout aspect was the food provided by The Trout Club. The chef's culinary skills shone through in every dish served, delighting our guests and leaving everyone raving about the delicious menu. The presentation was also impeccable, adding an extra touch of pizzazz to the evening - we were accommodated with a special menu of tacos instead of the traditional wedding foods.

In conclusion, we wholeheartedly recommend The Trout Club for anyone looking to create a memorable and unforgettable wedding day. Their dedication to excellence, coupled with their warm hospitality, truly set them apart as a top-notch wedding vendor. Thank you to the entire team at The Trout Club for making our wedding day a dream come true.

Please note - because the location is hilly, handicap accessibility is limited. There are golf carts that can drive you up and around and all you have to do is ask the staff, but the stairs from the ceremony site to the reception are in need of an update - something that many people look over, but I consider with my guests. If you need to drive a vehicle up towards the reception you can with some guidance from the club (we had a power wheelchair bound guest and that was the only way up and back from the site). Sadly the restroom area is t is tight which can make it difficult for wheelchair individuals to maneuver, but with it being an older building this is common.

ALSO - I attached pictures to show the reception space, the ceremony site, and what it looks like full/empty. We had 120 and it was a perfect fit. Those over 120 often have to rent tents, but they have tables for about 180-200 I believe. We had the dancefloor outside with the DJ but you could have it inside as well. Bar is near the TC Lounge and buffet style food is served from the other side of the bar. We had a sweetheart table which was perfect for us to see everyone throughout the night. The golf course is where all of our pictures were taken and there are so many good spots it is hard to pass up. The bride is dropped off with a tinted window van (so comfortable) and then it naturally drives away to reveal the bride. Then your wedding party comes in on golf carts and leaves on golf carts, but they are parked nicely and away from the ceremony site. If you like whimsical, woodsy, and green this place is for you! Note the drapery in the reception were not apart of the club and are additional charges from Party Pleasers but they have a Trout Club Swag set that you can order with Amanda's help if needed.

Great drive over. We didnt overnight, we only went to eat. The food was delicious. The big table accommodated our party of 10, it was outside under a fan that kept us cool, and we were able to watch the golfers.
Would be a great place to take a date for lunch, then travel to hocking hills for a hike!

I truly cannot recommend The Trout Club enough for weddings! It's a STUNNING venue. The getting ready rooms are great and have a ton of natural light for photos. The wedding coordinator, Amanda, is wonderful to work with and was on top of the weather all day. The Trout Club has an amazing outdoor and indoor space. I truly love it and cannot wait to be back!

Hosted my wedding here and my wife and I had a BLAST! Excellent service and the preparation before the wedding was fantastic. Amanda did a great job and we had the times of our lives!!

Loved my stay here, had a last minute business trip and did not realize how beautiful this place was, the view from the cabin was fantastic, some free food on the fridge was great! Bed was comfortable and place was pretty big.

Where do we even start on this amazing wedding venue and team! Everything was flawless - from initial booking through the end of our event. The grounds are gorgeous and offered the perfect indoor/outdoor blend for our big day. We fell in love as soon as we saw it and knew this was the place we wanted to get married. As all of the other reviewers have highlighted - when you book the Trout Club, you also get the best wedding coordinator in the business, AMANDA. She and her team are fun, kind, organized and professional. We didn't have to lift a finger or worry about a thing. Our guests haven't stopped raving about how gorgeous & unique the venue was, how it was the best food they'd ever had at a wedding and how perfectly smooth everything ran! Plus, the bartenders were a blast 🙂 We had our rehearsal dinner here the night before as well and somehow they made it feel completely unique from the wedding itself. Once again, the service, food, atmosphere and organization was top notch. I could go on and on about how amazing our day was thanks to Amanda and her team at The Trout Club. You don't get this kind of experience everywhere and we'd have our wedding here again a million times over without hesitation. Thank you, TC!
