NorthStar Golf Club hosted our wedding ceremony and reception on September 26,2015, and everything was fantastic! NorthStar has amazing food, and they did not disappoint! We had a buffet for around 84 guests. We served chicken kiev, roast beef,... salad, green beans and carrots, broccoli, mashed potatoes, and it came with rolls and butter. We also had a cocktail hour and had butler passed hors d'oeuvres that included meatballs, bruschetta, and salmon bites. We also opted to have a cheese and fruit display.
As far as the reception goes, one of the big reasons we chose NorthStar were the things included. Many venues we researched charged extra for tables, chairs, even dinnerware! At NorthStar, all these were included, and everything was set up beautifully. We dropped off our centerpieces, gift bags, guest book, programs, and various signage, and everything was set up for us. We also brought in donuts instead of cake, and they were displayed beautifully! We had ten kids at our wedding, some of whom are picky eaters, so we were able to order chicken tenders and fries (just in case they didn't like the "adult" food). We were also able to order a certain number of vegetarian meals for the few guests that requested that.
We also had our ceremony at NorthStar, and luckily the weather was amazing and we were able to have it outside at the gazebo as we had planned. We were able to decorate the gazebo earlier in the day, and NorthStar provides beautiful white chairs which were set up for us. The ceremony site is behind the club house, and we were worried my grandma wouldn't be able to navigate the stairs, so NorthStar generously let us use one of the golf carts to get her down to the ceremony, then back up to the reception. They also provided a room for myself and my bridesmaids to get ready; this was especially handy during the reception, as we could change shoes and freshen up if we needed to.
The person you will be working with the most is Alisha, and she is awesome! Since we live 3 1/2 hours from NorthStar, she graciously met with us on weekends to sign the contract and do our tasting. She was always prompt in answering our e-mails, gave us estimates of the different costs in a timely manner, and was always friendly and accommodating. After meeting with her the first time, we knew that we could come to her with any concerns or changes and they would be taken care of. NorthStar made everything so easy, we didn't have to worry about anything concerning our venue!
