Awarded Best of Zola
The Refuge Golf Club is one of our favorite wedding venues to work with! With multiple ceremony location options, including a romantic indoor fireplace option for the colder months (or as a backup in the summer in the event of rain) you can guarantee your wedding will be gorgeous! We especially love to photograph at The Refuge because we always know that even in the event of less-than-ideal weather the large overhang of the roof on both sides of the club house will still allow us to get outdoor photos without having to step into the elements. You can guarantee that the wedding coordinators at The Refuge care about your big day and will put their all into making sure that your wedding runs smoothly. Christa and Lisa are attentive, professional, and always go above and beyond to ensure that your day is as perfect as you imagined. We love that there is so much opportunity for photos! If you are feeling adventurous and timing allows on your day, our studio is local, so we know lots of hidden gems for photography as well. You will not be disappointed with your Refuge wedding choice!
