The Peninsula Club

o skilled at what she does and answered all of our questions before we even had time to have them. She is detail oriented and will ensure that you have a completely stress free experience!! The food is amazing and the venue is large enough to accommodate big groups, while still feeling intimate. They have a beautiful outdoor ceremony location but also offer. beautiful indoor Alternative if it rains. Highly recommend this venue/ staff!

how everything turned out. Guest could not stop complimenting the atmosphere and beauty of the space. Elizabeth, the coordinator, was such a joy to work with and made the planning process and day of go so smoothly.

th all our other vendors for a seamless experience. Highly recommend for a reception venue!!

a dining area were able to perfectly accommodate 20+ tables. The newly renovated Lakeside room is perfect for cocktail hour, and has all the right updates for a modern, craftsman lake-side wedding. We also received many comments about how fantastic the menu was - and for us (bride and groom), this was one of the most convenient parts of wedding planning (no catering!).

g day as they had everything under complete control. The venue was gorgeous in every way and we don't hesitate at all to recommend The Peninsula Club to others looking for a wedding venue.

e and out with pristine landscaping and building space. It is clear that the Peninsula Club team is experienced, professional and well suited to serve the best.

stic at her job and the staff at the Peninsula Club are so attentive. Our guests complimented every aspect of our wedding!! If you are looking for a venue on the lake, look no further than the Peninsula Club. You will not be disappointed!!

ving our ceremony on the patio overlooking Lake Norman was gorgeous, and they also have a great indoor back-up plan for the ceremony that is wonderful as well. They have a separate room for the cocktail hour, which makes the big reveal of the ballroom for the reception even more special and amazing! Elizabeth was a great coordinator-I felt sure she had everything under control, and she did! The whole event went smoothly and I didn't have to worry about a thing the day of the wedding-she made sure all the decor, vendors, and other set up were taken care of! She always responded to emails quickly and answered my millions of questions. The food there was also incredible. My husband and I are very sad we didn't get to enjoy the appetizers, but we made sure to enjoy our dinner because it was phenomenal! We also always felt welcome there, whereas when I visited a couple other country clubs, they wanted to make sure you stayed away from their vendors as if you were a nuisance! Everything at this venue was wonderful!

Elizabeth, was AWESOME. She and her staff have obviously done this a time or two and made everything run absolutely seamlessly! We received so many compliments on how great everything was--venue, parking availability, staff, food, drinks--EVERYTHING. Could not have asked for anything more!

econd ask. If we had to do it all over, we would not change 1 thing. Elizabeth (the Peninsula Club coordinator) is nothing short of phenomenal. She had everything under control from the second we booked the venue to the end of wedding. I can't tell you how much easier she made our lives. Not only was our wedding a large wedding, but we were all from out of state. We planned the entire wedding from over 5 hours away and it was not struggle. Elizabeth is responsive, organized, and super sweet. She made our dream wedding a reality and I could never thank her enough. Days before our wedding she reassured us that she had everything under control and for us to relax, and she was 100% right. Every decoration and vendor were in the perfect place and everything ran smoothly. She made sure our gluten free, vegetarian, and dairy free guests were all accomodate at both the rehearsal and the wedding. Again, another complicated request that she and the club were able to easily handle. Truly, I do not know how Elizabeth does it but she makes the event magical. Our guests could not stop complimenting the food, drinks, and venue as a whole. The MOH, who has worked in the DC restaurant business for over 10 years, said that the food was the better than any food she had ever had at a large event. The food was fresh, warm, and delivered to each table in a timely manner. Again, nearly perfect in every aspect. We used majority of the vendors recommended by Elizabeth and the Peninsula Club and again, have zero complaints. Elizabeth recommends them because she knows they deliver great work and truly, they did. If you are reading this and are at all unsure about booking with The Peninsula Club, let me reassure you that this venue and its staff will do everything in their power to make sure your event is perfect and exactly what you wanted.

were looking for a venue for both our ceremony and reception, so having an option for a pretty outdoor ceremony as well as an indoor option (that wasn’t on the dance floor) was important. Their ‘plan B’ indoor room for a ceremony was the nicest we’d seen and would have been lovely had we not been fortunate to have an amazing spring day full of sunshine and blue skies! Since the venue is a club, it has a kitchen which made our life a lot easier (rather than having to find a caterer), and all of our food was delicious – much better than ‘typical’ wedding food. The service was outstanding – all staff members were friendly, helpful, and clearly experienced in weddings – and we felt well taken-care-of the entire event. Additionally, the club provided a lot of perks that greatly helped with planning (and costs) such as votive candles, mirrors for the centerpieces, pedestals for the ceremony flowers, and linens in a variety of colors. Elizabeth was terrific to work with – very responsive, always had time for my (many) questions, and willing to help us think through and plan for this big event. She was incredibly professional and made us feel at ease. She seamlessly executed the numerous moving parts in preparing for and running the venue on the day-of. It was a pleasure to work with her, and I couldn’t be happier with my wedding experience!!

beth is truly amazing at her job and will help to ensure that everything goes perfectly the day of your wedding! It took so much stress away from the day knowing that she was in barge of coordinating everything! I would highly recommend checking the venue out!

cious, the decorations were exactly how I expected, and taking pictures was so easy with the help of the golf carts. If anything went wrong during the reception, I was completely unaware of it, because it seemed perfect to me! I would recommend the Peninsula Club to anyone considering a reception here!

ldn't have asked for a better experience. Our guests were beyond impressed and have went on and on about how wonderful our venue was. No need to look any further, the Peninsula Club should be your wedding venue!

ing and punctual. Highly recommend.

oh and the food is superb!

ut one thing. Elizabeth was so nice & so helpful. The food is delicious and everything that they have to offer is just the best! We are so happy we chose to have our reception at The Peninsula Club!

dditional decorations. I loved that the most. We wanted a simple, classic, elegant wedding and the Peninsula Club speaks exactly to that. Elizabeth, the Club's event coordinator, is phenomenal. She is very kind, easygoing and very professional. She is prompt in answering emails and phone calls. During all of our planning (about one year) I never had to worry about anything. Elizabeth always had everything under control and taken care of. Day of, her and her team are truly amazing. They make sure that no details are missed. Our ceremony was to begin at 5pm and we started promptly at 5. Her team guided the bridesmaids and myself through every step up until almond down the aisle. They closed the doors and did not allow anyone to enter the building once the ceremony started, to allow me the grand entrance. Once we were down the aisle, the "late" guests were allowed in. During the cocktail hour and reception, Elizabeth made sure my husband and I had everything we needed. She also kept us informed of the timeline and ensured we were where we needed to be at the right time. She works very collaboratively with other vendors and was extremely helpful in making a timeline for the day leading up to the wedding day. I would get married there again and would refer any and everyone I know to this venue. I can't say enough positive things about how wonderful our experience was.

emails. I emailed her A LOT, and she never made me feel like I was bothering her. What originally drew us to the Peninsula Club was their neutral color palette, the elegance of the ballroom with the chandeliers and sconces, and the venue was beautiful without being "overly frilly or girly", so my groom felt comfortable too. Also, we wanted a venue that would take care of catering and alcohol in-house, and the Peninsula met those requirements. We were all set to have the ceremony on the brick patio, however, it rained on our day, so the ceremony was moved inside in the Lakeside Room and it was beautiful! After the ceremony, our guests had lots of room to spread out and socialize between the terrace, main dining room, and ballroom. I loved that our dinner buffet was kept in the hallway behind the ballroom so it didn't detract from the look of the ballroom and there was no visible line of people waiting to get food. The only thing I might recommend to other brides is possibly getting ready (hair/makeup, etc) in another location. There is a very large conference table in the bridal suite that cannot be moved. I only had 3 bridesmaids and it got VERY cramped and crowded in that room with just us and one makeup & hair stylist. So I would imagine someone with a larger bridal party would really struggle with space. That being said, the restroom used for the bridal suite was very large and elegant, and is a perfect area to get dressed. While I was not able to see the men's locker room first-hand, I did see photos later and it looked very spacious and the lockers had a sophisticated wood face, so it wasn't anything like a typical locker room. It was elegantly masculine. Overall, we were thrilled with our decision to get married at the Peninsula Club and I would absolutely recommend it to other couples looking for a venue!

izabeth Walczy was so professional & easy to work with throughout the entire planning process. She executed our vision of how we hoped the club & ballroom would look. The Peninsula's chef & staff did a fantastic job serving a plated, sit down dinner to 200+ people, involving 4 different entrees. They were also great serving our hot, late night snacks. Our large band/stage fit well in the ballroom, even with all the tables. What a fun & amazing venue! Wow. Jan H.

y home town, so we went on a venue search when we were visiting for Memorial Day last year. I was worried that being so far away and planning my wedding would be tough... It turned out to be the complete opposite! The Peninsula Club was SO amazing to work with. They recommended all of our vendors and they could NOT have steered us in a better direction! We had cocktails outside (!) and dinner and dancing in the ballroom. The dinner options were a lot more creative and versatile than any of the other venues we looked at. We were so happy with our experience and would do it all over again the exact same way!

large and beautifully appointed. The staff is friendly and responsive. From the initial meeting with Elizabeth, the food tasting (delicious!) to the bride preparation room and the big evening itself, all was amazing. Elizabeth even helped us at the end of a long day to carry our wedding belongings out to the car. She was quietly in charge and paid attention to every detail, allowing my husband and I to enjoy our own party! Thanks to Peninsula Club, Elizabeth and all the staff!

edding. Elizabeth was great! All our guests told us how well they were treated, how impressed they were with the staff, and how elegant everything turned out!

alczy is their events planner and is beyond fantastic at her job. We all know that there are tons of other weddings happening before your wedding at the same location and I ALWAYS felt like the ONLY Bride. Any questions I had, any time I requested to meet with her and any details I needed to work through she was right there, attentive and ready! As a side note, we all know wedding food can be a little blah but The Peninsula Club's menu is 5 Star. So many people are STILL complimenting our wedding food! And should you choose them, the tasting will only further confirm that for you. You will NOT be disappointed if you choose to get married at The Peninsula Club.

ience. Staff was always willing to help and Elizabeth was amazing as she helped us plan without us being in town (we lived in Ohio during the process). The venue was nothing but perfect on our big day and everything was so smooth. I would recommend The Peninsula Club and Elizabeth to anyone who is looking for a first class venue and staff. Just call and set up a visit. You will see what I am talking about shortly after you arrive.

planning the wedding so much fun. Anything you could want they will take care of. They went over every detail with our daughter and her fiancée. Elizabeth and the staff did not leave anything undone. They go above and beyond to make everything perfect. They set up everything we took and packed it back up at the end ready for us to pick up. The food was delicious, so many compliments on the food, service and staff. A very professional venue. We highly recommend this venue. They are so easy to work with, your wedding will be worry free and a special day you will never forget.. Thanks for making their wedding the best day ever!! We will be using you again for other special events.

ng. Grainne and Elizabeth were amazing!! Both responded promply when I emailed or called with questions. Elizabeth transitioned very well when it came to making sure she captured everything I shared with Grainne. Elizabeth was very organized and listened to what we desired for our day. She was very flexible and made sure everything went smooth on our day. The venue was beautiful and spacious. The food was great! Our guests gave us major kudos about the NY steak strips and stuffed chicken being very good! Most of all, the customer service from Elizabeth and other staff was outstanding! Overall, great experience and we would definitely recommend it!! Mr. & Mrs. Gilbert💜

ing the planning process, Elizabeth made it effortless and was always great with communicating back about any questions I had. On our wedding day, not a moment went by that she wasn't making sure everything/everyone was in place, correct and ready to go. Her hard work and dedication to detail did not go unnoticed! We have received so many compliments about the friendly and hard-working staff, beautiful venue/view as well as the phenomenal food! The team went above and beyond to meet our expectations for our special day and we truly appreciate it! I highly recommend the Peninsula Club!

t they are doing and they do it well. The food is excellent, even our guests told us how impressed they were with all the food choices including the cocktail hour snacks. They accommodate almost any request and make you feel special the entire time. The night of the wedding was perfect and we did not have any hiccups whatsoever. Elizabeth was beyond amazing at making sure I (the bride) was taken care of at all times. I can't say enough great things about this venue and would highly recommend it to anyone. Aside from the services, the view is INCREDIBLE. I can't wait to see our photos because you simply can't beat the Lake Norman view this club offers. I would re-do my wedding here over and over a million times. :)

nd.

al linens, cloths, etc. that are all included! Service was impeccable as well. All around a wonderful event!

e answered our countless questions throughout the whole planning process. She was patient, expressed her honest opinion when asked, was creative, and accommodated all our requests. Her response time and availability were amazing, albeit her super busy fall wedding schedule. All our guests complimented us on the beautiful venue, the wonderful food and the perfect execution of the wedding ceremony / reception. If you want a flawless wedding ceremony / reception coordinated by a wonderful woman with a strong team, this is your venue!!!

ay, our coordinator was not only professional but extremely helpful and attentive for our every need. The view is beautiful, overlooking the course & lake. The food was great & the staff was amazing! We had to go with Plan B since it rained on our day but the transition was seamless and ended up being very beautiful. Everything was just 'taken care of'! So....my advice to the DIY bride....don't.....let The Peninsula Club take care of the details, stress & worry. You just get to show up & enjoy day with your hubby, family & friends.

o have the reception. One of our friends finally recommended The Peninsula Club, and at first we were skeptical due to our budget. However, we decided to go look anyways and I can honestly say it was the best choice we, oh wait, second best choice we made. The first being marrying my wife of course. The Peninsula Club is a beautiful venue with a tremendous staff, and the food was excellent. I cannot say enough about our wedding coordinator, Grainne Gray. She is not only extremely helpful but also professional and easy to work with. The rehearsal and wedding would not have been possible in the short time we had to plan without her help. I was particularly impressed with her involvement in the reception, especially when she ensured my beer of choice was available for the entire evening. I would recommend The Peninsula Club to any couple looking for a wedding venue. The location is second to none when it comes to venue, service, assistance, food and maybe most importantly, value. My wife and I are still talking about how great that night was, but even more revealing of the venue is how our guests are still commenting on how nice the venue and reception were. Thank you Peninsula Club and Grainne for making our wedding a moment we will never forget. My gratitude, Norm

lace very close to home. Grainne, Ryan, and the other staff members at the Peninsula Club were so helpful with everything from suggesting vendors, to working within our budget. We didn't feel once that they were just trying to raise the bill for their own benefit. They helped us coordinate the linen drop off and pick up, assisted the DJ with set up, florists, desserts, and all other aspects. I truly did not need to worry about one thing the day of the event. I highly recommend choosing the Peninsula Club for your event. Not only is it an absolutely beautiful venue located within Lake Norman, but the staff itself makes it totally worth it! Thank you Peninsula Club for making our dreams come true!

ate a wonderful day. The venue itself is extremely classy, there is a great view of the lake, and we actually were able to arrive by boat!! It was a beautiful reception, and we enjoyed every minute of our time there. The food was delicious, and we had a cocktail hour with appetizers that were great too. They have lots of options for food and drinks in terms of pricing, and all of the things we tried were great. I would definitely use them again!!

setting felt like an extension of our family's home, so it was the perfect place for our families and friends to gather to celebrate my daughter and her new husband. The event planner, Grainne Gray, and the wait staff were amazing! Grainne, with her calm and "go with the flow" manner made it so easy for us throughout the entire wedding reception planning process!The night was definitely enjoyed by everyone, and a night that will be remembered for years to come. Thank you to everyone at The Peninsula Club, especially Grainne, for helping to make my daughter and her husband's wedding the wedding of their dreams!!!

day of the wedding couldn't have been any more perfect. Bottom line, every one of our guests commented on 1) how well the reception was organized and kept flowing, 2) the professionalism of the wait staff, 3) the food was great, 4) and probably most importantly, no one had to wait to get served a drink. Not to mention the beautiful scenery of the Lake Norman!

as possible, and our wedding day absolutely perfect. Grainne and the event staff are amazing during the planning, making sure that every detail is covered so that the day of the wedding, there will be zero stress. They take care of everything that needs to be done that day, so all you and the groom have to do, is show up! Although initially the price may seem a little high, it is not at all. It is completely worth it. We searched different venues for months and compared services and prices, and agreed that The Peninsula Club was the most beautiful, reasonable venue. Many other places offer “lower” prices, but if you add up all the work you will have to do and stress you will experience, it is totally not worth it. The Peninsula Club, literally does it all. They go above and beyond to ensure everything looks and feels perfect.

erything went very smoothly. It was everything we had hoped it would be and so much more. The food was great and the customer service was just as good. They are very prompt with getting back with you about any questions or concerns. I would highly recommend this venue. The wedding was absolutely perfect. Couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day and it was all thanks to Grainne's help and great organization skills at the Peninsula Club.

as and provided great recommendations for other vendors she had worked with. She helped me schedule our timeline which was somewhat challenging since my daughter lived in LA. She was always willing to meet with us, let us view the Club many times, and even the set up of another wedding in the ballroom. The service, every vendor, the staff, the food all came together the day of, and my daughters wedding was a dream come true. The entire day was stress free thanks to a well planned timeline and friendly and helpful staff. The outside backdrop for the ceremony and pictures was breathtaking and the ballroom was transformed into a romantic wonderland.
