Brockville Country Club

Brockville Country Club brings a lovely sense of permanence to a wedding.

The club has been part of Brockville since 1914, with mature trees, rolling terrain and a historic Stanley Thompson-designed golf course surrounding the celebration.

That history gives the property a very different feeling from a banquet room built last year.

There is landscape here that has had decades to grow into itself.

Wedding receptions gather in the main dining room, where a balcony looks toward the 10th tee and the course becomes part of the backdrop. Guests can step away from the tables for a moment, take in the greenery and then return to a room slowly becoming louder as dinner gives way to speeches and dancing.

The grounds bring another dimension to the photographs.

Rather than relying entirely on décor to create the wedding atmosphere, couples have the established landscape of the club around them, with tree-lined fairways and the changing elevation of the course creating a distinctly classic setting.

Then everyone comes back inside.

That is when a country-club wedding becomes less about the course and much more about the people gathered around the tables.

Dinner arrives.

Stories begin.

Someone who promised to keep their speech brief almost certainly does not.

And eventually the carefully dressed dining room gives itself over to the celebration.

Brockville Country Club is not trying to be a rustic barn, a modern loft or a grand hotel.

Its romance comes from something quieter.

An established place, a beautiful old course and a room that has been gathering people together for generations.
