6 Tips for Planning the Perfect Golf Course Wedding
Full Answer
Your seating cards could be attached to tiny flags similar to the ones used to mark the location of the hole, and your seating plan could be presented to look like a golf course. Your wedding favours could be tiny golfing bags with chocolate clubs, or simply five chocolate golf balls in a small box or bag.
Some golf club wedding venues are licensed to hold civil ceremonies and many even have their own wedding co-ordinator who will ensure your big day goes with off a swing.
Your wedding favours could be tiny golfing bags with chocolate clubs, or simply five chocolate golf balls in a small box or bag. Perhaps you could use golfing terms to name the tables such as ‘the fairway’ and ‘the fringe’. You could even get yourselves a golf themed cake to really bring everything together.
You no longer have control. A golf course wedding is helpful for letting it go because there will be a large staff around to make sure everything goes smoothly.
Some golf courses get special rates at nearby hotels. See if your chosen venue can work out a special rate for your hotel guests. Staying nearby a wedding venue is a true dream for any traveler coming in for the event.
As golf clubs are used as places to escape the outside world, they tend to be very quiet and serene. This is a hugely beneficial side to marrying in a golf club as it’s not often that you find a wedding venue that is truly peaceful. Unless you go way out into the countryside, that is. Marrying in a venue like this will certainly make you feel as though you’re the only people on the earth.
A golf club should provide a perfect setting for wedding photos. Golf clubs tend to be set in extremely gorgeous countryside, making for some lovely views as well as backdrops to your wedding photography.
Many golf clubs are now designed to accommodate weddings and come equipped with lush function suites, on site catering, and complete wedding packages for you to choose from, as well as beautiful countryside views. Some golf club wedding venues are licensed to hold civil ceremonies and many even have their own wedding co-ordinator who will ensure your big day goes with off a swing.
If you’re holding your ceremony and reception at the golf club venue and don’t see the need for a fancy wedding car, you could ask to borrow a golf buggy to transport the two of you around the course. As well as some great photo opportunities, this adds a bit of fun to the wedding, and may also save you a few pounds.
Things like easily accessible bathrooms are an obvious one. A not so obvious one is parking. A lot of couples tend to forget about parking when they pick their wedding venue, but you don’t need to. At a golf club, the parking is often very good. This is because the people that golf tend to drive as they’re transporting their golf clubs with them each time. Good parking is a great luxury that many other wedding venue s aren’t able to have. Take advantage of it when you book your golf club wedding.
We said before that golf clubs are blank canvases and you can really put your mark on them. If you’re not someone who likes to decorate but you still feel as though you want a style that suits your wedding theme, then fear not, you are guaranteed to find something to suit you.
In the UK, we love our grandiose manor house, country estate and fancy hotel weddings. These weddings are delightful, but they all have the same issue. They’re expensive. This obviously varies from venue to venue but if you’re after a luxurious venue with perfect, unspoiled views then you’re looking to be paying a lot for your wedding venue. This is all well and good if your budget allows for it. If it doesn’ t, then you’ll probably be disappointed with what you can find.
