Beautiful Wedding Venue

We wish we could give the Indian Trail Club much more than 5 stars - a true hidden gem. From the moment we first met Debbie and the ITC team, we knew this was the only place we wanted to get married. Debbie, Dana, Chef John and the whole team at the ITC were extremely accommodating for everything we wanted for our dream wedding. From the amazing recommendations, to designing our perfect menu, our guests enjoyed every little moment. Debbie was quick to answer all of our questions. Chef John sat down with us to talk through in detail the menu from cocktail hour through dessert, and provided amazing recommendations and was so accommodating. The ITC made us feel like a part of their family, and for that we are truly grateful. We had a picture perfect October fall day for our wedding and were able to enjoy all of the beautiful spots their venue has to offer. Between the lake-side ceremony, golden hour photos on the dock, open doors into the reception making a great indoor/outdoor feel, beautiful stone fireplaces, and fire pits and heaters on the patio - pure perfection. Our guests raved about the food and all of the variety - there was something for everyone. The grilled cheese tomato soup shooters at cocktail hour and waffle ice cream sundae bar for dessert stole the show. We had a great spot with natural light for hair and makeup, an abundance of great locations for photos, a great lunch for everyone getting ready prepared by Chef John and a great bridal suite for the girls to get ready. There is not a separate location for the guys to get ready, but this was not an issue for us. The guys got ready at the hotel and came to the venue ready, which worked out very well for us. Thank you so much Debbie, Dana, Chef John and the whole ITC for your kindness, flexibility, and attention to detail. We are so thankful we chose your beautiful venue for our dream wedding, and wouldn't change a thing! Thank you for making our day incredible!

A fairytale

I’m in love with this venue and have been since the moment I found it online. By doing a simple Google search of “Best cocktail hour”, we found the venue of our dreams. It really was a fairytale wedding! The grounds of ITC are magnificent. Their lake side venue makes the most romantic view. We were lucky to have our ceremony outside and the water from the lake was sparkling behind us as we said “I do”. The cocktail hour was insane!! We received so many compliments on the food, the quantity and quality of the food. The entrees were hot and consistent. Debbie is a pleasure to work with and really helps create your vision. Dana was also a huge help and makes sure you have everything you could possibly need. The entire staff were friendly and professional. We are so happy to have had our wedding at ITC. It was a beautiful day. We wouldn’t change a thing!

We just had our wedding here on December 9th and couldn't be happier with how everything went. From the first time we viewed the venue through picking everything up after the wedding- everyone we encountered was absolutely accommodating and friendly. Debbie and Phyllis made all of our visions come to life! They made all of the planning so easy and seamless! It snowed on the big day and everything still went off without a hitch! We did a stations dinner and I have a dairy allergy which makes things difficult. The chef went out of his way to make sure I was comfortable with what foods I could eat- our attendant that evening even made me my own plate of 'safe' food! All of our guests raved about the food, drinks, atmosphere, and service! You will NOT be disappointed with any event you choose to have here! THANK YOU!
