Upon arrival, you will be greeted by a stone archway and castle-like clubhouse, which is charming yet elegant.

And yes, you have the time to get in the frame with your girl pals just a few minutes before having your ‘first look’ with your partner as his beautiful would-be wife! As you are bidding your singlehood adieu with lots of memories left behind, one thing that you can do is to relive them today- on the day of your wedding- and these funky clicks will always remind you of all the good things you and your tribe did together, the days you lived together, and how they all helped you with a glass of wine to calm your nerves when you were yelling like crazy asking multiple times- how I am looking today in this wedding dress?
The nationally recognized clubhouse offers seemingly endless photo opportunities in its expansive outdoors from spring through late fall, especially at the elegant White Terrace, overlooking the rolling green fairways. The luxurious Living Room inside offers a comfy space for you and your guests to mingle along with an inviting fireplace for your cocktail hour. With windows and a terrace that overlooks the 18th green, the Cocktail Lounge offers an alternative space to share some moments of joy with your darling or pose for some candid pictures of the day.
Though every emotion of the couples is unique to their wedding, the moment when the bride walks down the aisle for her groom, smiling from ear to ear, is worth to be saved forever, as they embark on their new journey as husband and wife. Here comes the artistic vision of our photo experts as to how they inculcate your special moments into your wedding album. Because the day will pass and your guests will leave but the thing that will remain with you for the rest of your life is the sweet memory of your beloved that you can recall every second day by revisiting these pictures. And of course, the day your grandchild will ask, granny! How you and grandpa got married, you must have a lot to show them! And they will scream with joy, “ Oh nana, you were looking so beautiful as a bride”! Pretty nostalgic! Isn’t it? So, let these dreamy thoughts be alive at your real wedding at Longue Vue Club.

Add pale peach peonies, white freesias, dusty miller, viburnum, peach-orange tulips, white hydrangeas, and pink and white English roses to the aisle pathway and at the outdoor ceremony space to fill the space with freshness and romance.
