Tempest Golf Club

ou to guarantee your day. To clarify, your elopement package is for a set number of hours, and when you arrive late, it does cut into those already reserved hours. In any event of rain, we move our items indoors, and since we allowed you to use all of our décor and items at no cost, we do not want them damaged by poor weather. We did provide you with beautiful décor indoors that received compliments from you, your groom and your family. Upon looking at our banquet before the ceremony, you were pleased, and had you voiced you wanted an archway indoors at this time, we would have had it put together indoors. We did, however, take you on the course afterwards for beautiful photos, even in the rain, even though we do not go on the course in the rain to prevent course damage. You are correct on many aspects, but these were done for a reason: with there only being six people in attendance, a full set up of coffee and tea would have gotten cold or watered down since these are prepared in large quantities, so we hand served coffee to your grandmother and father on their request- at no extra additional server fees. There was not a small cake due to in a meeting you stated you had ordered cupcakes and macaroons from an outside bakery, which a Tempest staff member picked up for you and paid for out of pocket, at no additional charge to you. A cider toast was provided for you and your guests at no charge as additional drinks as well. If you felt rushed being led down the aisle, it is because after arriving late, your photographer, grandparents and parents had been waiting, the food had already been prepared, and the officiant we provided- also at no charge to you- had other engagements to attend. You never selected music, brought a DJ, band, etc, so we played our house music. I will relay the message to our head chef regarding your menu selections so that she can be better prepared for our future brides, as she tried to work with your changed menu and prepared your to go boxes, as I will relay the message to our officiant. Your total ticket was heavily discounted due to the rain, even though no one attending voiced their displeasure- with no state taxes or gratuity paid by your event. We are sorry that you did not have your dream wedding with us, and wish you the best luck on your second wedding.
