The Refuge Golf Club

Jami was wonderful to work with! She made all the details happen and so easy, which was a total relief for me. She was prompt in responding to any phone calls or emails and always pleasant to work with. The site is incredible to have a ceremony and reception and so beautiful, I would recommend this gem to any bride!

Our Wedding Reception was absolutely beautiful because of the natural beauty of the Ball Room at the Refuge and due to the hard work of all the staff. We worked with Jami Price, the event coordinator on site. She was professional, prompt, and organized. She has years of experience at the Refuge, and as a result, she was able to forsee all the details that we needed to arrange prior to the event. She responded to my calls, emails, and questions within one day, if not a few hours! She managed the staff to make sure that everything from set-up to tear-down went smoothly. She was a calming and reassuring presence the day of the reception. All of the staff worked diligently throughout the night. The food and beverage manager, Joe, was also very professional and experienced. The Refuge also has partnerships with well-known vendors such as Buttercream cakes. The oak ceiling is so beautiful, you don't even need drapery! It will be a beautiful pleasurable experience!

The dance floor is too small and the DJ was cramped into a corner. DJ didn't get served food and he even asked to be served with the table in front of him which he had taken a plate for and we included him in the count. The bonuses is that they have a nice setting, a wireless microphone that covers the entire reception area for announcements and speeches, and the food was decent.

The Refuge staff was absolutely amazing. Jami was there to help us every step of the way. We had the ceremony outside and the reception in the banquet hall and both were absolutely beautiful! Everybody raved about the food and told everyone how stunning everything had been. The waitstaff and bartenders were friendly and very helpful. To anyone who is looking for a picturesque place to be married this is for sure the place!

The Refuge and Susan did a wonderful job with all the details of my wedding. Susan was always very quick in responding to my questions and went out of her way to help the day go as smooth as possible. All of my guests have raved about the food being hot and delicious and that the atmosphere at the Refuge. The only issue we had was with the tables being cleared and we ended up with a lot of wasted drinks. What we paid was considerably lower than any other comperable venue and the value was incredible. I highly recommend this venue for other brides.

I had both the ceremony and the reception here and I loved it. This place is so rustic looking (which is what we wanted) but you can also doll it up to make it look like a fairy tale wedding. Susan is the onsite wedding planner and she is great. She has so many ideas and is very helpful. It can be difficult to get a hold of her at times but you need to remember that they have a wedding basically every weekend if not two or three. I would recommend this place to any one who wants an outdoor wedding and a close reception site. It's beautiful!!!

The Refuge Golf Club is the perfect place for a wedding. The scenery is amazing. They provide all the chairs and linens which was really helpful. You can also decorate any way you would like. Susan, in charge of events, is SO helpful and lead us through everything we needed to do. We never once felt out of the circle on anything. Same thing goes for Joe. There is a ton of room for your guests and even room to get ready in the basement. The food is AWESOME and totally worth it. They keep the place semi-decorated all the time and when they had the lights out side and such, it added so much to the place. I have recommended the Refuge to everyone I know thats getting married and will continue to do so.

Beautiful venue. Space & equipment for outdoor wedding. Offers some decorations with rental of space, others for rent on site (which is nice if you don't want to have to coordinate bringing your own glassware & mirrors for centerpieces). Good value for what you pay. Beautiful patio for spring/summer/fall weddings. Excellent food & polite help. Whole place is yours for the day, 10am on, including dressing room downstairs. All around great place.

They were very helpful and did a great job guiding us through the process. Prices are very resonable and the food was great!!

I think that The Refuge was a great place for a ceremony and reception. The coordinator that they have did an amazing job with all of the vendors and really took all of the stress off of the entire wedding party. I would surely recommend The Refuge to anyone looking to have a beautiful outdoor wedding ceremony and wonderful wedding reception.

We were very pleased with every area of service provided by the Refuge. Susan and Joe were very helpful. Our planning, rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, ceremony and reception were all pretty much flawless! They responded to every question and concern that we had. If something came up, they took care of it immediately. The food was outstanding and HOT!!! Our guest raved about the facilities, the food and the service. The only thing I would have changed is asking them if we could have coffee service at the table. Even though the wedding was held on a very warm day, the guests liked their coffee!

The Refuge Golf Club is the place if you are getting married. We had both the ceremony and reception there. I am so glad we found it. The manager was so helpful. If we didn't have a dj, flowers, officiant, etc., she could help. She also helped a lot with the rehearsal. The price was also in our budget. We are a young couple with two kids so our money supply isn't there. We were able to have the dream wedding that we wanted without going into huge debt. I would recommend the Refuge to anyone. In fact, I have already done so.

The location and building are beautiful, I couldn't have asked for a better set up, they have a private bridal with lounge, changing area, and bathroom, and even though there are golfers there, they are kept very seperate from the wedding. It is also the most beautiful reception room I looked at and the open rafters look great in B&W photos. I had several guests comment on how curteous/helpful the staff was throughout the reception, and they were very easy to work with while I was planning. I would recommend the Refuge to anyone planning a wedding.

Working with the staff at The Refuge was wonderful. Susan was so amazing. She alway provided such a quick response with any questions or concerns I had. The food was amazing. The timing of our dinner service was excellent; everything flowed so well. It was also such a beautiful location. I felt as though we got much more than we paid for-in a good way! I would highly recommend this location to anyone.

We were married at the Refuge on 9/8/06. We looked at several venues and were having some difficulty as my dream wedding was more elegant, but my husband was looking for something more laid back. We had almost made up our mind to go with another venue and decided to drive by the Refuge on a whim. Am I glad we did! :) As soon as we laid eyes on the facility, we knew it was perfect for us. It was the perfect combination of rustic & "up north" for my husband, yet stylish & modern for me. People would later comment that it was very "us." The grounds are gorgeous...we took a few golf carts out to some holes that have breathtaking views and my pictures turned out beautifully. We had our ceremony as well as the reception right there, which I loved. I really wanted an outdoor fall wedding, and they have an awesome location for that. Since they also have a large covered patio, we had a back-up plan in case of inclement weather. It was chilly the day of my wedding, but no rain fell, so the 10 minute outdoor ceremony went off without a hitch! :) The reception room was decorated beautifully, and the lit candles on the tables, low lighting & open rafters in the room gave our evening dinner a very dramatic and elegant feel. Very classy. Exactly what I wanted! People still rave about the food from my wedding. It was A-MA-ZING. The steak, chicken & pasta were all to die for. Parents loved that the kids' meals came out first to satify hungry bellies. ;) We had an open bar, so our guests had a great time! The wait staff was awesome and we especially loved Curly, our bartender. Joe was great to work with, and he even hooked the groomsmen up with golf on the morning of our wedding. My husband now golfs in the league there. :) The coordinator that we had is no longer there, and she did leave a bit to be desired as far as follow-up is concerned. But all in all, our wedding day was absolutely perfect, and I would recommend the Refuge to anyone!
