Ashlee Richardson, Membership and Sales Director at Beau Chêne Country Club, shares expert insight into the premier wedding destination for couples on the Northshore.
Rebecca George:
For brides dreaming of a wedding that feels romantic, effortless, and unforgettable, what makes Beau Chêne Country Club stand out as the perfect setting for their big day?
Ashlee Richardson:
At Beau Chêne Country Club, couples are surrounded by elegant live oaks, sweeping green space, and serene lakes that create a naturally romantic backdrop. From there, we take care of the details, allowing the wedding day to feel seamless, elevated, and truly personal.
Rebecca George:
What types of wedding events can couples host at Beau Chêne Country Club?
Ashlee Richardson:
We specialize in weddings and rehearsal dinners, but many couples choose our venue for the moments surrounding the big day as well, including bridal showers, engagement parties, bridesmaid luncheons, and anniversary celebrations. We love being part of the entire wedding experience, not just the ceremony itself.
Rebecca George:
Many couples worry about guest count. How flexible is the space?
Ashlee Richardson:
Very flexible. Whether you’re planning an intimate celebration or a grand reception, our two adjoining reception rooms can accommodate over 300 guests for receptions and 200 for seated events. This gives couples the freedom to design a layout and flow that reflects their vision.
Rebecca George:
Tell us about the atmosphere inside the Clubhouse.
Ashlee Richardson:
Our newly remodeled Clubhouse is spacious, light-filled, and welcoming, with large windows overlooking landscaped gardens and the golf course. The adjoining Lobby and Morgan’s Bar flow naturally for guest greetings. We also have a bridal suite, groom’s lounge, and a spacious upstairs event room for getting ready on the wedding day. Our gorgeous “first look” location overlooks the Tchefuncte River—it’s a photographer’s dream!
Rebecca George:
For brides weighing indoor versus outdoor ceremonies and receptions, what options does Beau Chêne Country Club offer?
Ashlee Richardson:
Couples may choose an indoor or outdoor ceremony. The outdoor ceremonies take place in front of our pavilion overlooking a pond with our residential swans. Our reception space offers an indoor/outdoor feel with open air access to our beautiful patio with additional seating under the open sky and twinkle string lighting.
Rebecca George:
Weddings can feel overwhelming behind the scenes. What makes hosting a wedding at Beau Chêne Country Club feel so seamless from start to finish?
Ashlee Richardson:
Beau Chêne Country Club is designed to simplify the entire experience. All-inclusive packages, ample parking, handicap accessibility, a stunning white marble dance floor, customized floor plans, a personalized timeline, and attentive service remove the stress of coordinating a wedding. With customized menus by award-winning Chef Hosie Bourgeois and his culinary team, couples can celebrate in one beautiful setting and focus on what matters most: their love.
Rebecca George:
For couples who may not be members, can Beau Chêne Country Club still be their wedding venue?
Ashlee Richardson:
Yes, absolutely! Couples don’t need to be members to host their wedding at Beau Chêne Country Club. We invite everyone to come see the space, imagine your day here, and let us help bring it to life.
