Rochester Place Golf Club & Resort

There is something about a wedding beside a golf course at sunset that makes everyone wander outside eventually.

At Rochester Place in Lakeshore, that might mean gathering around the patio fireplace, watching the light change across the course or slipping away toward the greenery for a few photographs before dinner.

Couples can keep both ceremony and reception on the property, with several spaces allowing the day to change without sending guests somewhere else.

Parkside Grille offers an indoor reception for up to approximately 175 guests, along with a large patio overlooking the course. The Rendezvous creates a completely different feeling, with a covered 5,000-square-foot outdoor space for celebrations of up to approximately 250.

That flexibility lets couples decide what kind of wedding actually feels like them.

Polished indoors.

Open-air and relaxed.

Or a little of both.

After the vows, guests can begin cocktails while the newlyweds finally step away together.

The nerves are gone.

Nobody is waiting at the end of an aisle anymore.

There is simply the person they married and enough quiet to realize it happened.

Then it is back to everyone waiting.

Dinner begins. Speeches become music. Someone wanders onto the patio with a drink while inside the dance floor begins filling.

For couples who want a celebration with green space, good food and enough room for the evening to breathe, Rochester Place offers a wedding that can feel polished without ever becoming too formal.
