I love my work environment so much, I will get married here!

Meet Redwoods Team Member Laura, she first joined the Redwoods Restaurant team in 2009 where she worked in our concession shack at the 10th tee. After a few golf seasons in various other serving positions in the restaurant, she now works as a supervisor and can also be seen buzzing around the golf course on our beverage cart during the summer.

She has a very exciting couple of months ahead as she is currently training to run her first half marathon and, because she loves the setting at Redwoods so much, she will be kicking off our wedding season this May by marrying the love of her life Matt, right here in our ceremony gardens! With her super upbeat personality and contagious smile, we are thrilled to have Laura as part of our team.

As May is approaching us very quickly Laura has everything planned and is feeling stressfree!

“Working at Redwoods for the past four years, I have seen my fair share of weddings. Although I do not like to admit it, I had started to plan my wedding the first season I worked here – about six months before my soon to be husband, Matt came into the picture. The Redwoods staff team is a very close knit group; it doesn’t take long at all before you start feeling like one of the family. After seeing how dedicated everyone on staff – from the Course Assistants to the General Manager - is and treats each wedding that gets put on, Matthew and I didn’t even have to think twice about who we wanted to be taking care of us on our wedding day!”

Thank You Laura!

10 Tips to make your wedding day stress-free

Your wedding day should be a day of fun and celebration. Not a day to worry and stress out over the wedding details. After all, if you have chosen The Redwoods, rest assured we have all the details for your ceremony and reception under control! To make sure the rest of your day goes well, here are some tips and hints.

In the morning have your hair done and maybe your nails too, pamper yourself. Get a massage and relax! Be sure to eat during the day and drink plenty of water, however try to stay away from alcohol. You want to be fresh and alert, not intoxicated and passing out at the altar.

Remember your goal of the day is getting married to the person you love. That said, here are a few advance precautions to stress-proof your wedding day.

1. For your bridal party, select dependable attendants and give each one a copy of the tentative timeline for the day. Avoid asking children under three years old to be in the wedding party. If you must, let one of the attendants walk with the child or pair them with an older child.
2. Learning to delegate is vital, especially the day of your wedding. Read through your list and assign everything!
3. Pack and bring along a bride’s emergency kit which includes, extra panty hose, clear nail polish for runs, Kleenex, aspirin, spot remover, static cling spray, hemming tape, band-aids, a sewing kit with safety pins. The groom’s emergency kit includes: mouthwash, breath mints, razor, cologne and a comb.
4. If you have a ring bearer, fasten fake rings to the ring pillow, so they won’t fall off. Have an adult carry the real ones. Also, don’t give the pillow to the youngster until about two minutes before they start down the aisle.
5. Practice walking and turning in your gown. Make sure it fits properly before the ceremony. Find the easiest way to walk and turn with the train so you’re not tripping over or having to hike it up. Get a feel for how the dress moves. Don’t eat, drink, smoke or apply make-up after you have put the gown on for the ceremony. If you do drink, use a straw and be very careful.
6. Nervous stomach or not, eat something before the wedding ceremony. Have a sandwich or veggie tray to share with the bridesmaids. You don’t want to faint in front of all your family and friends!
7. Decide on your order of events for the reception in advance of the wedding day and be sure the wedding coordinator or DJ also has the information ahead of time.
8. Kick off the heels & settle into a more comfortable shoe; you know those stunning, sexy, strappy, ultra-high heels that work perfectly with your wedding gown? They’ll be great for the ceremony and for the formal pictures, but if you’re planning to kick up your heels at the reception, you’ll be better off kicking off the heels and settling into something more comfortable. So get a pretty, more practical pair of shoes that you can change into to keep your dogs from “barking” the entire week after the wedding!
9. For the groom; get up, eat breakfast, have a shower, brush your teeth, shave, brush your hair, put on some nice cologne, put on your tux, make sure all your groomsman have done the same and show up on time!
10. Relax! A relaxed bride is a beautiful bride. You have spent 100′s of hours leading up to this very moment. Now it’s time to put your faith in the people you have asked to make this the most wonderful day of your life. At the end of the day a wedding success is being married. Every thing else is just icing on a very delicious cake.
