LWCC is known for its beautiful outdoor weddings but the secret is – their indoor weddings are spectacular. The LWCC facility is spacious; comprising three rooms the length of which has ceiling to floor windows overlooking the lush green golf ...course, small blue ponds and stately trees. All the rooms have an angelic type ambiance because the golden sunrays bathe them with glistening light shimmering from the massive crystal chandeliers and elegant table glassware. From the rotunda tables, to the white clothed chairs to the fine plate ware, one not only sees the opulent décor, but can feel it too. LWCC’s investment into the facility oozes elegance refined for any special occasion to be remembered, with sweet cherished thoughts.
Our September wedding ceremony was in the comforting warm sunlight soaked Crystal Commons Room where a string quartet and pianist harmonically played deeply heartfelt compositions emphasizing the magic of the moment. From there, LWCC provided golf carts which whizzed the wedding party to select locations to freeze in time those picturesque moments with the sunset as a backdrop. While photos were being taken, the string quartet serenaded the guests and family members as they fawned over the wide selection of hor-dourves; the potato matinees and smoked salmon being out of this world. Then as entrance music played, everyone was ushered to white linen tables, each flanked by bottles of iced bubbles while an army of butlers raced with succulent aromas and silver plated serving dishes. This later culminated with choreographed father/daughter and husband/wife dances just before the crowd happily and crazily stamped their feet on the polished wood while the DJ dazzled with disco lights and a variety of toe tapping, heal pounding music. And for those with tired feet, LWCC accommodated space for a photo-booth which at times was busting at the seams with people wanting to wear crazy attire for their keepsake enchanted pictures. LWCC is a wonderful facility for any occasion. But a facility is just that: a place to meet, eat, celebrate and enjoy; however, if you don’t have an event coordinator – or rather the right event coordinator – then your celebration, and the journey there to, will be stressful marked with anxiety and apprehension, hoping for the best but not having planned for it.
This is where Katie Bohnert comes in. In a nutshell, Katie is a master problem solver threading complex issues and concerns with insight and experience while displaying dazzling arrays of options into cohesive, delightful synergistic solutions. For us, having a year to plan, there were a number of pitfalls and hurdles to overcome. From the minor of accommodating a large number of people’s dietary concerns, to the sensitive that some people have strong affinities to alcohol consumption to the extremely complex: how do we get the biggest bang for our dollar? The latter being important to anyone that desires not only a cherished event but one that is not wasteful while being accommodating to all. Katie was akin to a 3rd degree black belt Kung-Fu warrior where she would break problem barriers, masterfully twist and spin with expenditures delivering the amazingly perfect touch to awe even the skeptical.
Yes, the right venue is important and LWCC has that and more. But the most important decision is - who is taking care of you? We were fortunate and hope others experience the same with their special occasion.
