Ask any bride and groom, and they will tell you that they experienced at least some degree of stress when planning their wedding. Pondering over the dinner menu, the music, and the flowers is one thing, but what about the actual location of the ceremony and reception? Ideally, a wedding location must be spacious and beautiful, accommodating the needs of your guests and helping you celebrate your special day in style. Sherwood Country Club in Southern California may be the perfect location for such a memorable event. Located approximately 2.5 hours away from Portland by plane, with nearly 2,000 acres of gorgeous scenery near the Santa Monica Mountains, Sherwood Country Clubs offers premier spaces and catering services for a Southern California wedding. Wedding receptions may be held in the luxurious Grand Ballroom, or outdoors, overlooking the facility's dazzling and meadow-like surroundings. The bride and groom can also choose between buffet-style and sit-down dining for their guests. Special requests may also be accommodated, courtesy of the Club's Executive Chef and Pastry Chef. Weddings at Sherwood Country Club offer the magic and elegance that every engaged couple deserves to experience and share. For more information about Southern California weddings at Sherwood Country Club, ask your local Portland wedding coordinator or visit www.SherwoodCountryClub.com.
