Coming from out of state and on the recommendation of a restaurant owner who could not accomodate us because of ever-changing covid restrictions, I called Langdon Farms Golf Club.
From the start, Shannon made the planning process easy and stress free. My hope was for a decent event...that hope and goal was exceeded! The venue itself is idyllic. Views from the loft windows of the greens, the hills, the beautiful blue sky with puffy clouds ( we ordered those in special!) created a peaceful backdrop for our event. The room was clean and set, ready for us when we arrived. Several of our party had delayed flights and they graciously allowed us to change the dinner service time at the last minute to wait for our guests. We enjoyed the appetizers, the wine, the view while we waited. It was a really great spot for an intimate gathering (about 30 of us), many of whom had never met, to mingle and get to know each other.
The staff was ready and willing to help but not at all intrusive...there when we needed them but almost invisible when we didn't. Friendly, professional, efficient, flexible...everything you could want!
The food was delicious...even some of the more picky guests had several things they could and did enjoy and were very complimentary. Everyone loved the artichoke dip...I wish we had ordered double! The salmon was outstanding, cooked perfectly, and exactly what I hoped we would get in the PNW!
Even your club members, some of whom I spoke with in the restroom and at the entry, were so nice and friendly. We could not have asked for a better event, especially since it was planned sight unseen. The loft is upstairs (obviously) and there was an elevator for use by grandma, who has some mobility issues.
I was concerned about the loft being open to the restaurant below, but there was a great band playing perfect light dinner music (the singer was really good) and it added to the ambience...we couldn't have great conversations without shouting over the background.
The dinner was a great way to kick off the wedding weekend and we all really enjoyed ourselves. To cap it all off, I heard from Shannon Monday morning after to let us know we had consumed less wine than planned and they were sending us a refund along with our deposit.
I highly recommend Langdon Farms Golf Club. Beautiful venue, good food, professional and easy to work with staff, and stress free...you can't ask for a better experience to kick off what is bound to be a crazy, stressful, wonderful weekend celebration!
