So you want an elegant affair for your Southern California wedding but you don’t like to golf. Can you still have a golf course wedding? Absolutely! Golf courses offer the most picturesque views in the midst of a city without any golf theme to being required!

The Fairway Gazebo

Many golf courses offer a beautiful gazebo or trellis to create the focal point of your vows. Some even include a panoramic view of the greens and lakes to create an even more romantic setting. All you need is a little gazebo decor with a spray of flowers in your color, and maybe some aisle decorations and you are good to go! Your guests will be in awe of such a focal point.

The Garden Oasis

Golf courses make the best wedding ceremony spaces because most couples are looking for that manicured garden look. Did you know that golf courses have an entire staff that is dedicated to maintaining the golf course every day? So, what better way to find a manicured and elegant garden than at a golf course! They make it look effortless day in and day out. Why not take advantage for your Southern California Wedding?

The Lakeside Serenity

There is something about standing next to a serene lake that can put you into a calmer, happier state of mind and we think it begs for a little romanticism. Did you know that being near water can trigger the release of feel-good hormones like dopamine and oxytocin? It’s science! Add your wedding ceremony and the magic is unstoppable!

Clubhouse Elegance

Another huge perk to hosting a golf course wedding is that once the ceremony is complete, the guests can be swept away into the nearby banquet room for the rest of the evening’s festivities. Some golf course banquet rooms feature adjoining patios that overlook the rolling green hills, and some have multiple spaces to enjoy for cocktail hour and dinner and dancing. These banquet rooms are always elegant, and always spacious. Your guests will be in awe of the architectural grandeur that the golf course provides.

Tips for Choosing the Perfect Ceremony Location

The only thing left to do is decide which golf course is right for you! As you narrow it down, make sure your guest count fits the capacity of the ballroom you like. Before you visit, it is a good idea to email the event directors of the golf course for package information, capacity, and availability. Then, ask for a full estimate of the location based on your desired package and guest count. Once you are happy with the pricing offered, then set up a tour!
