My husband and I got married at Beau Chene the Saturday after Christmas and it was absolutely beautiful the club had the most beautiful Christmas decor that blended in so nicely with our decorations! We had to get married inside due to the weather but it ended up being so beautiful! Especially with the fire place going and the Christmas’s tree in the background. The club was able to flip the room for the reception so fast and the staff was attentive the entire night! Also, Ashlee the events coordinator at the club is AMAZING! The day was seamless with her hard work!

The wedding coordinator there makes everything so easy and they help guide you along the way. There is a cottage on site you can rent to get ready in, which is so spacious and cute! We got on site at 8am, and didn't have to leave the property until post reception! I seriously couldn't have asked of a better experience and the best part is we get to go back for an anniversary dinner every year. I will always recommend this venue to anyone who asks. 10000/10!!!
