The property has many bountiful locations for wedding portraits, including on a flat wooden bridge that stretches across the middle of an expansive pond, on a small knoll that meets the water below by way of a stone wall, or among the country club’s weeping willow trees. Inside, couples can use the clubhouse for their reception, complete with a grand staircase and bright elegant ballroom.

From the initial meeting to book our wedding date to the very end of our reception, our experience with Governors Club was flawless. Hannah and Lisa are incredible at what they do, and are the best in the business! Throughout the wedding planning process, we were amazed by their professionalism and their ability to accommodate any request. We were blown away by the attention to detail that shined through on our wedding day. The entire staff was friendly, quick, and well organized. We have heard nothing but compliments from our guests, whether it be about the food, the flow of the wedding day, or the beauty of the entire setting. We are so grateful to have worked with such wonderful people. Governors Club truly made our wedding the best day of our lives!!!

Daughter’s Wedding
We had my daughter’s wedding at the Governors Club on April 27 and it was beautiful! We were blessed with great weather so we were able to have the ceremony on the brick patio outside and it was perfect! The reception was just as flawless. Lisa and her staff were amazing and took care of us the entire day. Lisa helped make the planning process easy. If we asked if something could be done they made it happen! I am so happy we chose to have the wedding at the Governors Club!
