What type of chairs will be provided for my reception room?
Turf Valley Resort provides comfortable standard banquet chairs that are room specific. If you would prefer chair covers, sashes or rental chairs, you may rent them on your own through an outside vendor. Placement and removal is not a service provided by Turf Valley Resort and, therefore, must be coordinated with the vendor.

Can I hold my wedding ceremony at Turf Valley?
Turf Valley Resort offers both indoor and outdoor ceremony space in conjunction with your reception. For outdoor ceremonies, we have a lovely gazebo area which can accommodate 220 guests. Your ceremony time will be 1 hour, including guest arrival and ceremony time. The ceremony fee is $1000.00. This fee is for rental of space and set-up of the chairs only. Decorations will be furnished by you.. In the event of inclement weather, we provide an indoor option for your ceremony at no additional charge. If you would like assistance planning and overseeing your ceremony, please see our list of preferred vendors for a Wedding Consultant, as Turf Valley does not provide these services.

When can I tour the ballrooms and the Resort?

Can my guests staying at the hotel receive a special overnight rate?
Your Catering Sales Manager can give you details about reserving a block of rooms. Please note our inventory of hotel rooms is limited. All room blocks are subject to a 30 day cut off date. Any unconsumed rooms in your group block will revert back to the hotel for open sale. Additional rooms requested beyond the room block or after the cut-off date are subject to availability and will be offered at the sole discretion of Turf Valley Resort.
