Why L & L Chose Columbia Country Club for Their Wedding
L & L’s wedding was one of the most beautiful and joyful celebrations I’ve had the pleasure of planning. The couple chose Columbia Country Club for its deep connection to the bride’s family, as her family had been members of the club for years. It’s not just a place for L & L; it’s a place filled with personal memories and a sense of home. For them, getting married at Columbia Country Club felt incredibly meaningful. The lush green lawns, ivy-covered buildings, and sweeping views created the perfect backdrop for their wedding celebration.

A Two-Day Celebration Honoring Tradition and Family
The beauty of Columbia Country Club isn’t just in its stunning setting, but also in how it brings people together. L & L’s wedding was a two-day celebration that brought together cultural traditions, family memories, and unforgettable moments. On the first day, they celebrated with close family in a more intimate setting, embracing the traditions of both sides. The second day was dedicated to their larger wedding celebration, which took place at Columbia Country Club.
Their wedding ceremony was held at Chevy Chase Presbyterian Church, another meaningful location, with the reception continuing at Columbia Country Club. The couple wanted a celebration that was a perfect blend of elegance and inclusivity, with plenty of room for personal touches. The venue’s flexibility allowed us to make the day flow seamlessly between moments, from cocktail hour to dinner and dancing.

Personal Touches and Meaningful Details
One of the things I loved about working with L & L was their focus on making every detail of their wedding day personal and meaningful. They wanted a color palette that was bold yet timeless, which is exactly what we created. The florals were a stunning mix of vibrant hues that perfectly complemented the fall setting and the beauty of the venue. Every element of the décor, from the table settings to the floral arrangements, was thoughtfully designed to reflect the couple’s love story and their cultural heritage.
Another personal touch that stood out was the way the couple integrated their love of nature and the outdoors. With the beautiful gardens surrounding Columbia Country Club, the couple wanted to make sure their guests could enjoy the natural beauty of the space. Guests enjoyed cocktails on the terrace, soaking in the gorgeous views of the golf course and the colorful foliage of the fall season. It was the perfect setting for a relaxed, joyful celebration.
