“When the bride is happy, we’re happy”
We treat wedding differently than others – we are not just a venue that serves a meal. We are a start to finish “bride’s best friend”. When planning a wedding our efforts centre on the bride and her needs – it’s her day! Yes, we also feature some of the best views from our wedding lawn, some of the best food and beverage with a myriad of options to choose from, a roof coverage veranda and Lighthouse restaurant that combine for 280 guests and all with passion, commitment to excellence and consistent anticipating service.
We feel good about what we do – because when the bride is happy, so is the groom! The next thing you know, they’re telling their friends and we are hosting more weddings. Better yet, some of the people who attend the weddings and now homeowners.
Shhhh! Some of our golfing guests, dinner guests, conference guests and event guests are now members too!
Keep ’em coming!
