Dove Canyon Courtyard

The venue has great parking .The surrounding view is niceThere are 2 restrooms for the entire venueThey are not very organized . Gayle the coordinator was unsure of many of the details.We had our own coordinator and set up crew. She constantly tried to tell my people what to do. She claimed to not have map of set up along with us not providing additional information. This was sent via email / phone calls/ text messages. Maybe an additional person is needed to organize events here.I spoke with the owner the morning of the event and voiced my concerns. She was very helpful with providing additional tenting and listened to my thoughts and concerns. It's mandatory that you use their people to serve / clean up tables etc. they were kinda MIA for at least half of the event. I had to ask them to remove items from tables.DJ was horrible. Rude / unprofessional in corresponding with bride. When I spoke with DJ on day of events he informed me that we would have to pay additional fee for him to read off questions for a bride/ groom game. I told him no thanks . The final malfunction was the lights all went out midway through the wedding reception and we were told it was because it had rained and caused a short. When we called it quits about an hour early Gayle told us that we were taking her decorations . I told her that everything we used was our own and that the items they have were in not good condition because of poor storage so therefore we chose not to use their items. Mind you Gayle was present when we set up and I told her we were using our own decorations. For the amount of money spent for this venue I think they need to do some revamping of staffing.

I've now attended two weddings at DCC which were both lovely in their own ways. It's a sweet and small venue, located in a strip mall. This was nice because parking was free and plentiful! The venue itself feels a lot like a nice backyard, with a pretty fountain and string lights to enhance the magical feel.The only downside to this venue is the fact that it is entirely outdoors. I went to a winter wedding here and it was pouring rain and absolutely freezing, with nowhere to go except under the tent. More recently I attended a summer wedding here and it was very hot, with guests huddling under the few trees during cocktail hour since we weren't allowed to sit at our tables yet.This is not the venues fault, but it is definitely something to consider when booking a wedding venue!

We had our Ceremony and Reception at Dove Canyon Courtyard and it was an amazing, beautiful, and magical experience. I never thought of wedding planning until my then-fiancé now-husband proposed. I was determined to find a courtyard venue and when we visited DCC, we immediately gave the deposit. Gayle greeted us upon arrival and she was so sweet. We also hired her as our Day Coordinator.We were surprised that the venue was located within a strip mall but walking through the big wood doors transported us to a different place. Our guests thought the same and it was so fun to hear! There were also plenty of parking without the need of a valet. Entering, there was a water fountain, gazebo, cute cottage, and beautiful brick floors. One of the bridal suites was connected to the restroom and it made it convenient to change wardrobes. There was also a bar area and two restrooms. The most impressive thing about the venue was the storage room. It provided 3 fridges, 2 freezers, heat lamps, tables, chairs, decor, and so much more. I didn't have table numbers but Gayle and DCC came to the rescue!Gayle, DJ Christian, and the staff were so helpful throughout the day. Gayle was so tired at the end but she was such a trooper! We coordinated back and forth via email a few weeks before the wedding reviewing vendors, schedules, and playlists. During rehearsal, she helped guide our groups and made us feel reassured that she will do the same on our big day. I would also like to mention that we are so grateful for her patience. One of my bridesmaids, who was also our florist (her first big gig), struggled to get things ready but Gayle was very accommodating. The memories made were priceless and we couldn't have asked for a better venue to host our wedding!

Warning: This is vey late review...My husband and I found this venue for our wedding, and we found this venue back in December of 2016 and we absolutely love it. It was everything that we were looking for in a venue. Especially, because you can bring in your outdoor vendors and not have to use the site vendors like most venues make you do. Not to mention it was fairly reasonable and a great location in the hills. We met with Gayle and she was very nice and had a passion for weddings. My husband and I originally set our date for October of 2017 and I have given a deposit of $2500 in January of 2017, which that was half the cost of the venue and it was non -refundable. My husband and I decided that we wanted to move the date back 2 years and have it in September of 2019.Due to some unfortunate events that occurred we decided not to have a wedding/ hold off until we were ready. We met up with Gayle 10 months (2018) prior to the wedding date we had set and let he know the situation that was going on. We did ask her if it was possible to get at least half of the deposit back since we are notifying in advance. We did tell Gayle we understood if we cant because we did sign a non- refundable agreement. Gayle did tell us she did not see that being a problem at all and she would talk to the owner of the venue, Kenny, and that he is very understandable person. Gayle had also mention if she can sell the date we had set then she would give us the full amount back. We patiently waited for Gayle to mention anything to me and not once did I receive a phone call from her unless I was the one reaching out. And every time I reached out it it seemed like an excuse, and never a straight answer. Eventually, Gayle did tell me our date didn't sell (which is really hard to believe because it was desirable date). Then I reached out again in 2020 when the pandemic was happening and obviously they were not doing any weddings do to Covid. Gayle had told me that Kenny was working on getting a loan because I and a handful of other couples were asking for there money back. Again, I was only asking for half of my deposit back which she mention did not foresee it being an issue. Again, I reached out a couple months later in 2020 and she told me that a new development company bought the property and they will be shutting down in 2021 but Kenny is still working on the loan. Our last attempt was in January of 2022 to get ahold of her after seeing on social media they were not closed down and they are still throwing weddings. My husband called tried calling her multiply times and she never answered...Fast forward to 2024 and they are still hosting events. Again, I understand the agreement that I had signed but if Gayle would have said from the beginning there is nothing we can do then I would have left it as is. But she said something different. I was never planning on leaving a review simply for the fact that they were suppose to be shut down.

My sister's wedding took place here and was completely ruined. I have never felt so uncomfortable. The owner kept hovering over the guests,there was so much lack of communication and owner was constantly complaining over every detail including that the wedding was "not on schedule" she said no one gave her or the dj a schedule of events for the wedding even though my sister had sent a schedule weeks in advance and even had a conversation with him over schedule and music. The day of the wedding the dj showed up late which then pushed the schedule back and advised us that nothing was given to him and that he had no conversation with my sister even though we have messages that prove otherwise. Things started off at a rough start and by the end of the night things only got worse. My 5 year old son who's autistic was constantly being hovered and harrassed. Guests complained of over hearing the dj and the owner talk bad about the bride and groom, which I later found out the two are related. This was completely embarrassing for my sister.On top of all this, my sister got the mic yanked off while she was trying to give her toast. The owner said, "Were done here!" We couldnt even thank our guests. She was upset that things were not on schedule like the cake cutting etc. I didn't know the owner needed to have complete control of the wedding including the order of events that seemed very odd. She continued to harass my sister the bride and she never got to enjoy her wedding because all she did was walk behind them and constantly complain. At the end of the night my dad had told me he had been discriminated by the owner including others at the wedding. I should had paid better attention to the reviews as some of these incidents are not uncommon. I wanted to to give them the benefit of the doubt and tried to work with them through out the night but this was just completely unacceptable. My sister's wedding was ruined and I really wish this doesn't happen to anyone else. Which is why I'm posting this

Four years later, I still consider DCC one of my favorite local wedding venues. The staff has perfected their system and offers a smooth experience to clients and vendors. Highly recommended!

I absolutely loved having my wedding reception here! The owner, Leigh, and staff were great to work with, professional, and delightful. Gail had a lot of good insights and experience. I was worried that an outdoor wedding in January might be cold, but with the beautiful tenting and many space heaters provided, everyone was very warm and comfortable.The courtyard is beautifully decorated and the lighting is gorgeous in the evenings.I will definitely be back!

We have now had three separate wedding receptions and two baby showers at the Dove Canyon Courtyard and I cannot say enough about this venue. The owner and coordinator are both extremely helpful and facilitating. Gail was everywhere during the events and helping with every little detail. They assisted in getting us extra help for serving food and clearing tables during the receptions, and they coordinated well with the caterers we brought in. When we found we had forgotten some decorations, they were there to fill in the gaps. The location is easy to find with ample parking, and the setting is beautiful and pleasant for evening time. Highly recommend!

I could not be happier with our wonderful night at this venue. My husband and I did our reception here, and it was absolutely beautiful. The fountain and romantic lights overhead added such a magical element to our special day. The venue was big enough to hold all our guests, but the layout of the place made it seem so cozy and intimate. The team helping serve the refreshments and coordinate the music and various other parts of our night were ON IT. We didn't have to lift a finger. Everyone was so attentive and helpful. It took all the stress off us so we could really just be present and enjoy our evening with our friends and family. 10 out of 10 would recommend this place to anyone wanting a cute, classy, romantic space to host an event.

We had our wedding here in July and it was everything we could have hoped for. The staff was fantastic - so kind, efficient and accommodating. Gayle thought of everything and worked her magic on every last detail. We could not have pulled off such a wonderful day without her! The venue itself is charming and has plenty of parking . It was easily accessible for all guests which was a big deal for us. It was so nice to not have to worry about outside rentals for tables and chairs - they have it all! We highly recommend Dove Canyon - especially with Gayle and her staff. It was the best day and all of our guests loved every minute as well. Thank you Gayle and Dove Canyon for making our big day such a special, stress free day!
