A Taste of Things to Come

Last week, Jacob and I attended an open house at Keene Run with my mom and his parents.

This event was put on by their catering service, DaRae and Friends, to showcase the venue as an event spot and display their tantalizing food offerings...and let me tell you, the food was amazing. I tasted things I have never tried before (like shrimp and grits...wow) and sampled old favorites with a new spin (DaRae's pimento cheese was to die for!).

Ultimately, it was really great to see the clubhouse full of life and people. A hint to what it will look like on our wedding day. Also, I enjoyed examining the space inside the clubhouse to create an idea of where my DIY projects could go, how things could be set up, etc. Prior to the wedding, and once I have more stuff together, I plan to go back down to Keene Run for a few sample photos. Much to get organized!

The pictures I took were not that great, but here are a few to get a better understanding of what the space looks like:

This one doesn't do the front justice, but you can see the stairwell leading from the parking lot to the entry...a perfect place for large, ripe pumpkins to sit and greet the guests:

Ignore the random people...this is the front entryway. Very elegant and spacious. Large entry table on the right, perfect for the guestbook and some photos, among other things:

Right beyond the entry is the bar area. Very upscale and seating space is available in there. The bar is rather decently sized...and a large TV is viewable above the bar (perhaps guests can watch a football game or something if they want...):

The large dining space down the hall is divided by a half wall and pillars. The decor is very understated and classy. I love it! The tables and chairs are gorgeous...no need for tablecloths on these tables:

There is a wrap-around porch at Keene Run that is pretty much amazing. There will be seating, more than likely, on all sides of the patio. Also, there will be high top tables for people to mingle. The outside tables, brought over from the pool house/rented, will certainly need some extra pizzazz, so tablecloths will definitely be needed:

This shot was taken a little further away, to get a fuller view of the back of Keene Run. If the weather is nice, we may set up tables on the sidewalk like they did for this event. I love how spacious this venue is!

Well there you have it...a sneak peek at Keene Run Golf Club! So excited to share this venue with everyone.
