Idlewild Country Club

day perfect. We started working with Peter, who later onboarded Abby, and they were both incredible throughout the entire process. The tasting in March was a highlight for us—we couldn’t wait to share the amazing food with our guests. The seasonal salad was unforgettable; we’ve had multiple guests tell us they’re already trying to recreate it for their Thanksgiving dinners! The risotto? Absolutely mouthwatering. Every bite exceeded our expectations. The planning process was seamless, and we couldn’t be happier that we chose this venue. They allowed us to bring our own decorations and were incredibly flexible with timing and setup, making sure everything fit our vision. I wanted a stress-free day, and let me tell you, that’s exactly what I got. Della, who helped us in the bridal suite, was a lifesaver. She was so sweet and gracious, helping with every little mishap and even steaming all our dresses. Her calm and kind presence made the morning so much smoother. The grounds were stunning, especially for our fall wedding photos. The colors, the lighting, everything was picture-perfect. And let’s talk about the bar! Unlike so many venues with small, tucked-away bars, this place had a massive one that became a focal point of the party. It even made for some super fun bridal party photos! Our guests loved it, and it added such a lively vibe to the reception. Cocktail hour was probably our favorite part of the day. The transition from the ceremony to the reception was so smooth that we didn’t even notice it happening. Abby and her team were like ninjas—at one point, I looked around, and all our table décor was still there. Ten minutes later, everything had been carefully packed up, and I hadn’t even seen them do it. The dessert table was another standout moment. It was beautifully arranged and such a hit with our guests. I can’t gush enough about how thoughtful and detail-oriented the staff was. And then there’s the cost—so reasonable! My husband and I were genuinely shocked at how much we got for the price. There were hardly any upcharges, and the value was unmatched. Abby and Peter, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us create such an incredible day. You and your team went above and beyond, and we are so grateful. Future brides are lucky to work with you, and we’ll be singing your praises for years to come. If you’re considering this venue for your wedding, stop looking and book it. You won’t regret it! M
