Wow. Just wow. Jeff-thanks for Being the best DJ ever!…read more I went with Jeff after personally witnessing his "no frills and no cheese" service at a friends wedding and I was absolutely satisfied with his performance!! Jeff called days before our event to verify details and chat further about my expectations. In discussing my original choice not to select a specific cake cutting song, Jeff recalled that my fiancé Mark and I enjoy the Avett brothers and he suggested to use their song January Wedding! I hadn't even ever heard that song but way to go Jeff, it couldn't have been more spot on! We had a short must play list which was complimented by the most ideal selection of favorite music! The dance floor was abuzz ALL night! Thank you SO much for keeping the party alive!!! -Amy and Mark

Everything was professional and just great!! Great job. Book them!!

She was extremely knowledgeable and detail oriented, but also kind and flexible, giving advice and direction when needed, and deferring to our vision for everything else. From the very first meeting, we were made to feel at home from everyone at ACC. From the start, Peggy stressed that her goal was to make our dream a reality. To that end, at no point were we given a list of standard "packages", instead always being asked open ended questions about what we wanted. This could be seen in the dinner selection, where instead of a pre-selected list of dishes, we were asked by the chef what kind of flavor profiles we were looking for, and then given a large variety of options that fit our preferences. In the end, the dinner we chose was phenomenal. The club itself is absolutely beautiful. The drive up is on a charming tree lined road, and guests are greeted with a welcomingly large and warm foyer as they walk in, complete with a large fireplace. Our cocktail hour was in a separate room from the main dinner, yet there was plenty of space available to mingle and move around before dinner began. Behind the scenes, the men's and women's locker rooms provided great privacy and security for the wedding party to change and freshen up. The main dining room is lined with windows giving a beautiful vista of the golf course and landscape outside. The wait staff was extremely attentive and prompt, following our schedule perfectly. This attentiveness didn't end after dinner was finished; as the night was coming to a close, Peggy noticed the guest count was still pretty high (a testament to our DJ, but that's a different review). Because of this, without prompting, she had the kitchen prepare more late night snack bags so that no one would go home empty handed. We are beyond happy with our experience at the Aurora Country Club, and wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a customized selection of food and appetizers, an accommodating staff, and an elegant space. You will not be disappointed.
