The Golf Club of Amelia Island
The
Golf Club of Amelia Island at Summer Beach is a dream-come-true for anyone planning
an Amelia Island wedding. The Golf Club can host a ceremony, reception, and even
a rehearsal dinner—each in a different and individually elegant setting—and
provide scrumptious menus for all. It also has comfortable accommodations nearby
and activities for all of your guests, including an 18-hole championship golf
course. The Golf Club of Amelia Island has been host to weddings of all sizes,
from simple ceremonies to lavish occasions. The diversity and adaptability of
The Golf Club, paired with its talented and enthusiastic staff, truly take the
stress out of planning a wedding. And the venues available each have an elegant
charm with views among the prettiest on the island. A couple can host each part of their celebrations in a different place without needing to leave the property. “The Golf Club truly is the ideal location for a destination wedding. With beautiful views of our golf course and the ocean, what more could you ask for?” says Lisa Presnell, Catering Sales Director and Professional Wedding Consultant. “The fact that we
offer various venues for bridal luncheons, rehearsal dinners, ceremonies and receptions certainly sets us apart.”
The warm and homey Clubhouse, overlooking the immaculately manicured golf course is upscale and classic, with hand-carved wood and fireplaces. The Clubhouse’s terrace is one of the venue’s most popular sites, with one of the most stunning views on the island in a beautiful garden-style setting. “The view from the terrace is simply majestic. “It’s amazing to see the reaction a couple has when they first see it. They just look at each other and they know… this is it, this is the place!” says Presnell.
If saying your “I do’s” with sand between your toes is more your style, The Golf Club of Amelia Island can make that wish come true. Located on the smooth, sandy shores of the scenic south end of the island, The Golf Club’s large, tranquil beaches on the shimmering blue waters of the Atlantic are a popular place to exchange vows.
While The
Golf Club’s oceanfront Beach Club is the perfect place for a traditional
shore-side, flip-flop beach wedding, it’s also a beautiful setting for even
the most formal black-tie affair. The Beach Club is an indoor/outdoor venue with
a swimming pool, its own café, and of course spectacular ocean views.The Executive Retreat Center is a superb, more traditional venue for banquets and receptions. It is touted as the region’s premier meeting facility because of its privacy (only one group can use the facility at a time) and its state-of-the-art technological capabilities. The center can comfortably accommodate up to 70 people.
Not only can The Golf Club of Amelia Island at Summer Beach host every aspect of a wedding, their catering department can assist you in creating a mouth-watering menu for your guests. “As each couple comes from various backgrounds and travels from different locations around the world, each menu can be customized,” explains Kevin Krzeminski, Food and Beverage Director. “We design the menu to reflect their personal tastes in an effort to make them feel right at home. In fact, we often replicate family recipes, cultural specialties, and even recipes from favorite restaurants.”
With so many options in both settings and food, anyone planning a wedding can be easily overwhelmed. Couples work directly with a Professional Wedding Consultant in planning their big day. “It is certainly a bonus and a big relief to a couple knowing that an expert who specializes in weddings is handling every detail” says Presnell. “This is the most important day of their lives, and there is a certain comfort level that comes with knowing that an experienced professional is taking care of you.”
The Golf Club of Amelia Island considers the staff their crowning jewel. The staff sees each event as a production and strives for perfection. “I am extremely pleased to know that everything I promise is exactly what the staff delivers,” says Presnell. “We have a truly remarkable team here and I am proud to be a part of it.” From the menu to the venue, the staff at The Golf Club of Amelia Island at Summer Beach pulls out all the stops to create a flawless event for every bride and groom.
