- Stephanie RiceCorporate Director of Sales & MarketingTwenty years. Luxury hospitality. Zero ordinary events. I've turned motorcycles into photo booths, landed grooms by helicopter, and sent newlyweds soaring in hot air balloons above their venue. From Baltimore Country Club to Rolls-Royce events, I've spent two decades proving that the best weddings are soaked in creativity and personalization. Now I serve as a strategic resource and support partner to the talented on-site catering directors across the Evergreen Partners family of clubs — bringing big-event expertise, creative firepower, and a relentless commitment to making your day unlike anything you've ever seen. Your vision deserves more than a venue. Let's build something legendary.
- Trina LethDirector of Catering Sales at SomerbyMy love for hospitality didn't start in a ballroom — it started in a restaurant, working my way through college and falling in love with what great service actually feels like. The details. The energy. The moment a guest realizes someone truly thought of everything. That passion brought me to Somerby in 2006, during its early years, where I helped build something special from the ground up. By 2009, I had found my true calling as Catering Director — and I've never looked back. For nearly two decades, I've had the privilege of walking couples through the most important day of their lives. From intimate ceremonies to grand, meticulously curated celebrations, my approach has always been the same: make it personal, make it seamless, and make it unmistakably theirs. Every couple I work with has a vision. My job is to honor that vision — and then elevate it. No cookie-cutter timelines. No generic details. Just a deeply intentional experience, designed around who you are and what your day should feel like. Today, in event sales, I bring that same philosophy to every conversation. Because whether we're just beginning to dream or deep in the details, my commitment is always the same — every moment intentional, every detail considered, every celebration truly unforgettable. This is the work I was meant to do. And I'd love to do it for you.

We had our wedding and wedding reception here, and really thought it was the best location in all of Southern Minnesota. First off, Trina (the director of catering and sales for So...
merby) proved to be invaluable throughout the whole process. The location is beautiful, the amenities were amazing, the catering was really the best we've tasted, and the service was professional. Overall, they handled everything without a hitch and made for a memorable event. If you are planning your wedding here, you expectations will be met - and exceeded!

Somerby was the perfect venue for our wedding July 30th ceremony and reception! The staff we worked with made pre-wedding planning easy and took the time to answer even the smalles...
t questions. We did not have to worry about anything on the day of the wedding; the ceremony space wasn't able to be decorated ahead of time due to a chance of rain, but the staff made sure that everything was decorated perfectly before the ceremony began. We were even able to take gold carts out on the course after the ceremony to take a few additional pictures. The food served at Somerby was amazing. Guests commented on how delicious the appetizers, entrees, and late night snacks were. Overall, we are completely satisfied with our decision to have our wedding and reception at Somerby. I would highly recommend having your event there!

My husband and I had the most perfect wedding day at Somerby. We were worried when we first started our venue search with no luck that we were going to have to wait almost 2 years ...
until a summer Saturday opened up at a Rochester venue...when Trina called us to inform us that there was a cancellation on a Saturday in June just 9 months away, we jumped on it. Never once have we regretted our decision to celebrate at Somerby. Our guests raved about how delicious the food was and how gorgeous the venue was...they loved being able to catch some fresh air outside on the patio, too. Trina was so helpful, flexible, and responsive every step of the way. Given the choice again, we would have our wedding here in a heartbeat.

I could not have asked for a more perfect reception venue for my July 28th wedding! The service was excellent & all of the staff was extremely polite and helpful. The recepti...
on hall was beautifully decorated and the scenery couldn't have been more lovely! The food was definitely worth the price and all of the guests were shocked at how much food they received. The bridal party was allowed to take golf carts onto the course for some amazing photo opportunities. Such a perfect night!

I will readily admit that my mother was the one who handled most of the communications, planning, and finances when it came to my wedding (as I was planning the wedding long-distan...
ce). However, when I finally came to Rochester the week before my wedding week, I worked with the wedding coordinator at Somerby and she was able to make all of the decorations, layout, and wedding day reception coordination for my wedding go seamlessly. I felt like they were competent, and was pleasantly surprised with how DELICIOUS our reception dinner was. Seriously, my groom and I were so happy with the food. The grounds were clean, beautiful for photos, and I never felt like they didn't know what they were doing on or before my wedding day. My mom picked Somerby because they weren't pushy with trying to get us to go heavy on the alcohol, the facilities were lovely, and she felt like the coordinator was easy to work with. I won't get married again, so I won't use them again for a reception, but definitely would recommend them to friends.

Somerby is very experienced and includes many of the major things you need: location, beautiful decor/views and food. However, they still gave me lots of choices and flexibility....
I didn't feel restricted, but rather extremely well-supported.
** Cost includes cost of all food!!
