My husband and I consider a large array of different venues when planning our wedding, and honestly narrowed it down to some really great choices. BUT, in the end no other place co...uld accommodate everything we wanted like the Toledo Country Club. I'm normally very picky, but I can't come up with anything I didn't like.
We planned an indoor wedding because the last thing I wanted to stress about was the weather, and the living room with all of its large windows and fireplace was perfect! I wasn't a fan of some of the furniture in the room, but they moved all of it out for me. Plus the weather turned out great too, so we had cocktails on the veranda and beautiful pictures overlooking the river.
The food was fantastic. They had a wide variety of choices so we could customize the meal exactly to our taste. Also my mom is allergic to garlic and onions which are in almost everything these days, so they custom made her meal. She said it was just as delicious with just a pretty a presentation as everyone else's. She doesn't even normally get that in a restaurant, so the fact they were able to do that on top of 130 other meals was incredible. Although my great aunt had the best compliment of "all the food is still hot! Not even just warm; HOT!"
The service was of course fantastic. Dolly is truly on top of everything, and was even there fluffing out my dress before the big walk down the aisle. The staff was so sweet and made my husband and I feel so doted on. Multiple people commented how impressed they were that every time they went up to the bartender he remembered their drink order. Plus he was a hottie, which made my bridesmaids happy!!
The only thing is make sure you get your guests name cards correct. I unfortunately forgot to make a few,and for a half second there was some confusion, but the best man alerted the staff and they took care of it right away to get the guest the correct meal.
Seriously, the venue is gorgeous. The views are gorgeous. The food is great. The staff is great. It's on the expensive end of the spectrum, but it was without a doubt worth every penny. Made an already perfect day even more perfect!!
