Thoughts of a country club wedding bring to mind a traditional elegant setting with well-manicured rolling green hills, white-glove service and exceptional facilities. It's a place where golf lovers can celebrate their wedding and enjoy the pastime that brought them together. Golf!
Country clubs are both a fun and romantic venue for you and your wedding guests. This is a great way for family and friends to spend time together. Whether over an extended golf game with friends you haven't connected with in some time, or setting up a bridesmaid get together at the spa. Even organizing a golf scramble the morning of the wedding. Or, arrange to have your rehearsal dinner on the 18th hole.
And, don't forget to keep the golf theme going by including favors and gifts such as personalized golf balls or golf tees. Consider adding the golf motif as part of your menu with a golf-themed groom's cake or chocolate golf balls for dessert at your rehearsal dinner.
Be sure to capture all the memories of your special golf country club wedding. Have your photographer capture some pictures of you and your golf lover with the course as a backdrop, either before or after the ceremony.
