“There were so many reasons why choosing Covered Bridge Golf Club as the venue for our daughter’s wedding was a no-brainer — the beautiful backdrop, elegant facilities (we even utilized the enclosed patio as a stunning reception hall!), delicious food, accommodating staff, and excellent overall value. But even more importantly, what truly sealed our decision was working with Abby and her team. From beginning to end, she ensured we had everything we needed and was incredibly flexible with the unique requests and inevitable lastminute changes that come with planning an event like this. Abby and her staff were calm, organized, compassionate, professional, and went above and beyond to make the day as special as possible — and they pulled it all off flawlessly.
We can’t say enough positive things about Abby and her team at Covered Bridge. Highly recommend
