Perfect Wedding Guide Luncheon

The Perfect Wedding Guide hosted a luncheon this month at the Historic Dubsdread Country Club.  There were over 100 wedding professionals in attendance including Brandee and Kristen from Blush by Brandee Gaar.  We had a great time meeting new people and catching up with old friends.  It's amazing to think that all the people in that room, with their individual talents, work together and are responsible for making beautiful weddings happen every weekend.    

The theme for the August luncheon was Fire and Ice and, wow, did they accomplish that theme! I wish I had my camera with me so I could have gotten some shots of the decor for you to see. The buffet tables held huge rustic urns filled with willowy branches. Dangling from the branches were long strands of shining crystals and pops of deep red flowers. The room was lit by candles in vases as centerpieces and red lanterns hanging from the exposed wooden beams of the ceiling.  There were loose crystals and oversized "diamonds" scattered on all the red tablecloths around the cluster of candles.  The setting definitely made me feel like I had taken a mini-vacation from work for the day.  And the food!  I just have two words to sum up my pleasure of the meal:  Bananas Foster!  Yum!  I wish it was a real wedding so I could have stayed and partied all night long!  

The Tap Room at Dubsdread Country Club would be a beautiful option for a wedding reception. They have two rooms that can hold 220 guests which overlook the newly renovated Dubsdread Golf Course.  Even though the space can hold a large number of guests, the warmth and charm of the large stone fireplaces and overall feel of the rooms, makes every event feel like an intimate affair.  The Perfect Wedding Guide made the luncheon at Dubsdread really enjoyable and I look forward to another one next month!
