What is your best piece of advice for brides or grooms?
This day is for both of YOU; remember that when you’re planning everything.
What current trends have you seen at weddings that you personally like the most?
Interactive food stations, bride & broom custom drinks, and natural themes! They’re popping up more and more with all the couples lately. It’s something that gives your attendees a more memorable experience at the wedding instead of the traditional wedding events.
What some of their previous couples had to say….
“The venue was phenomenal, very beautiful. The oak tree was perfect for the ceremony, I would suggest that you have your guests park away from the tree however so you don’t end up with a bunch of cars in your photos. The pavilion was perfect for 50 guests and the view was gorgeous. The second floor of the pavilion was where we took our favorite photographs!” – Courtney M.
“…The Villages Polo Club certainly made our day simple, sweet, fun, and picture perfect. A long winding road led us through fields and woods until we arrived at our wedding ceremony site – a huge beautiful tree and rustic trellis, surrounded by horse stables. During our ceremony, we were blessed with birds chirping and horses whinnying. After the ceremony, we were escorted via golf cart to the main polo building where we were greeted with smiling faces, excitement, and applause from the Polo Club staff. Our table was beautifully decorated, with a surprise bottle of champagne. The food was spectacular! After brunch, we enjoyed the Polo Match, and marriage congratulations were announced several times during the game. Although simple, we were made to feel very special and the day was full of unexpected surprises. They went above and beyond to make our day perfect and a fairy tale wedding we’ll always remember.” – Jeanne A.
