Review: Inverrary Country Club Wedding
My husband's cousin was married at the Inverrary County Club
in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida in October. In the hallway was a table with place cards
for the guests with their name and designated reception table number. The
Country Club had a room provided for the wedding ceremony. It was simple, yet
elegantly decorated. The room was large with folding chairs draped in white
covers from the top to the floor and tied with a bow of lavender gauze. The
runner was white with flower petals. There was an arch of silk flowers and
podium for the pastor to speak from. It was a lovely ceremony and when the
bride sang to her new husband, it brought tears to my eyes.
After the ceremony, the guests were ushered to an adjoining
room where they could wait while the bridal party took pictures. There was a
bartender offering drinks and also a small buffet of bread and sautéed smoked
sausage and peppers and onions. In addition, servers walked around offering
shrimp and teriyaki chicken on skewers. The food was lightly seasoned and appetizing.
The room was small, but there were bar-high tables in the hallway where guest
could stand and eat and socialize.
The reception room was huge with a large area for dancing.
Tables were dressed in white with huge clear glass vases that had floating
lights and flowers. The glass chandeliers were bright and clean. The round
tables included chairs covered in the same white cloth and lavender ties. Every
table was set for at least ten people, and glasses of champagne were already
poured. There were water glasses and small plates for bread.
After the introduction of the bride and groom and the
wedding party, the best man made his toast and then servers provided small
plates of salad. The lettuce could have been a little fresher, but the
vinaigrette and ranch dressing were tasty.
Dinner was provided through a buffet. Each table was called
in order. The food was good as well. I am not sure if the Country Club provided
the food as it consisted of some traditional dishes. However, the servers were
very nice and professional. They provided cake later as the reception began to
wind down. Dishes were whisked away immediately and the tables were kept clean
and organized.
The grounds were well maintained and the bathrooms were
clean. Since we were in Florida, the air-conditioning was on. It was a little
cool for me, but seemed comfortable to other guests, especially with the amount
of dancing going on.
Aside from a few small holes I noticed in some of the cloth
covering the chairs, everything looked clean even though it was a little old.
It was an enjoyable evening and Inverrary Country Club staff
provided a great experience. As only a guest, I was impressed and would use and
recommend this facility.
