Country Club & Golf Course Wedding Venues in Connecticut

Golf courses and country clubs are a classic setting for weddings. With manicured greens, elegant ballrooms, and experienced staff, they work well for both small gatherings and large celebrations. Couples love the mix of outdoor ceremony options and polished indoor receptions.

I photograph several PGA Tour events each year, so I spend a lot of time on golf courses. That experience has given me an appreciation for their wide-open views and the calm, refined feel they bring to a wedding day. Read more about my sports photography here.

Here are some of the top country club and golf course wedding venues in Connecticut.
