“Where to begin! When my fiancé and I first started looking at venues, Dragon Ridge (and the Vegas area— we live in CA) were not even on our radar. His parents live in the Dragon Ridge community, so we added it to our list to check out and from the moment we walked in, we were blown away. The Palm Court is an oasis— it does not feel like you’re steps away from a golf course and minutes away from the Vegas strip. It’s cozy and spacious, with stylish and expansive bar for cocktail hour (and a perfect venue for a rehearsal event— we had a Brunch there the day before our wedding and it could not have gone better). Our florist was incredible, but the Palm Court’s stunning landscaping needed no additional decoration. Seriously, we could have walked in without any other decor and our guests would still have been blown away by the natural beauty. And who wouldn’t want to be married in front of a waterfall?!
DRCC has everything we could have wanted in one place. The ceremony flowed so naturally into cocktail hour and the move upstairs to the ballroom for dinner and dancing could not have gone smoother. It was really nice to get to offer our guests such distinct areas all conveniently grouped together right there. The dance floor is the perfect size and we LOVED having it right in the center of the reception. It really kept people dancing. So many of our guests also enjoyed stepping out for some fresh air and extra fun on the balcony just off the ballroom. You can’t beat that view!
I had a young niece and nephew in our wedding (4 and 3) and they used the crystal dressing room for naps throughout the day/evening. It was a really fun surprise that my brother and sister in law got to stay so late and keep partying with their kids just a few feet away. There are so many private areas and little hallways to escape to with small kids, I know all the parents in attendance really appreciated that.
And then there’s the staff… Courtney and her team really made planning our wedding from a state over such a breeze. She held our hand and made every bump and hiccup feel like no big deal. So accommodating, communicative, and full of good ideas and GREAT taste. Any time I didn’t feel strongly about something or know what option to choose, Courtney always steered me in the right direction. Any time I asked if we could do something I thought might be too much or out there Courtney said “of course you can.”
The vendors included in the DRCC packages and on their preferred list are truly top notch. Pretty much all of our vendors knew each other and the venue very well and it made things so easy having such a well oiled machine supporting us.
I can’t imagine our wedding being anywhere else and I am so grateful for DRCC. Thanks Courtney!”
