When it comes to finding your dream wedding venue, you probably have a long checklist of criteria for your perfect locale. Perhaps you’re looking for a super-luxe space with amazing views. Or maybe a super-convenient venue to keep your planning process stress-free. Maybe an outdoor location surrounded by nature is more your style. Whatever your needs and desires may be, private club wedding venues are a fabulous place to start. And with over 200 country clubs and city clubs nationwide, ClubCorp’s venues offer incredibly elegant settings that may surprise you with their unique features.
Here’s why private club wedding venues are ideal for your big day.
You don’t have to be a member
Right off the bat, you might think that private club wedding venues are super-exclusive and for members only. Turns out that all of ClubCorp’s private club wedding venues are open to the public. You don’t have to worry about knowing someone on the inside, or having to purchase a membership to host your wedding at these clubs. You can have all of the luxury and intimacy of a private club wedding as a non-member.
There are clubs for every style and budget
Private club wedding venues are far from cookie-cutter. In fact, there are clubs to fit every style from modern to rustic and more. For example, Indian Wells Country Club in Southern California offers incredible outdoor space surrounded by majestic canyons, while the The Houston Club in Houston, Texas features panoramic skyline views and a city-cool location. You’ll also be able to choose between an outdoor or indoor wedding, depending on your style and preference. And if you’re a huge fan of your college team, you may be able to get married at your school’s alumni club complete with stadium views!

They’ll make planning a breeze
We know, the wedding planning struggle is real. But booking a venue that has an experienced events team on your side can make the process stress-free. At an all-inclusive private club wedding venue, not only will your catering be taken care of, rentals are provided—from tables to chairs, silverware, centerpieces, and more. And your venue’s private event director will work with your other wedding vendors to make sure that everything runs smoothly on your big day—allowing you and your partner to enjoy your wedding without worry.
They take personalization to the next level
Your wedding should feel unique and personal—and a private club can totally make that happen. When it comes to food, a club’s culinary team is all about creating the custom menu of your dreams—whether that means barbeque or filet mignon. And don’t forget the drinks! On-site mixologists can create custom cocktails based on your taste. And that’s just the beginning when it comes to personal touches. Want to end your wedding reception with a bang? Many ClubCorp venues can incorporate a fireworks farewell into your big day.

You can host pre- and post-wedding events in one place
As you plan your wedding day, you’ll realize that there are lots of other wedding-related events to plan, from the engagement party to the bridal shower, the rehearsal dinner to the post-wedding brunch, and more. Fortunately, private club wedding venues have lots of different spaces where you can host pre - and post-wedding events just as easily. You can even host pre-wedding spa outings or golf trips at many of ClubCorp’s private clubs for the ultimate in relaxation, fun, and convenience leading up to your amazing wedding day.
